Chapter 202: Guo Rouge's Helplessness
King Yang Jun of Qin did not sleep all night, his eyes were red and he showed a sense of ruthlessness, just like a lonely wolf who had left the tribe on the grassland.
He was already very sleepy, and he could fall asleep even when he stood, but no matter how he closed his eyes or lying on the bed, he just couldn't sleep.
Moreover, his body was tense and he was in a very nervous state. As for the reason, Yang Jun thought of the pills he had to take every day. Because he hadn't taken it for several days, he was in his current state.
However, the alchemist he trusted disappeared and could not find it, so Yang Jun's pill was completely cut off.
Yang Jun realized that the alchemist had a problem and the pill he was taking had a problem, and someone tampered with his body.
This made Yang Jun even more irritable, and his blood-filled eyes were filled with murderous intent, wishing to wipe out all the enemies.
Just as Yang Jun was walking in the house, concerned about Yang Xiu and Yang Liang's decision, the guard came to report: "Report to Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, and Your Highness, the King of Yue and the King of Han are coming down!"
"Finally come! Haha... These two bastards who are afraid of death, I'm still worried that they would rather die than follow me. It seems that I was too worried! Let them come in!" Yang Jun said excitedly.
Not long after, Yang Xiu and Yang Liang walked in. They looked at each other and bowed and said, "Greetings to the Fourth Brother!"
Yang Jun looked at the two of them and sneered: "Have you found out clearly? Can the poison on your body be relieved?"
Yang Xiu and Yang Liang felt aggrieved in their hearts and wished they could step forward and beat Yang Jun to death.
"Fourth brother, what do you want us to do!" Yang Liang asked directly.
Yang Xiu nodded and looked at Yang Jun.
Seeing the two surrendered, Yang Jun became more proud and said, "We are brothers. As long as you listen to me and do what I want, I promise to keep you safe! Now the first task I have assigned you is to invite King Yang Chao of Wei, and let the three of us perform a play..."
Yang Xiu and Yang Liang looked at each other, and they knew that their guess had come true. The crazy Yang Jun was indeed going to attack the prince.
On the other side.
The alchemist hiding in a house in Kyoto finally came out. He was wearing ordinary clothes, like an ordinary old man, and quietly came to a restaurant.
It was lunch time, and the restaurant was full of guests, and he quietly went to the second floor and came to a wing room, and saw Guo Yanzhi who was already waiting here.
"Miss!" the old man shouted respectfully.
Guo Yanzhi disguised herself as a man and reached out to signal: "No need to be polite! I'm looking for you today, I'm going to let you go back to Weidu!"
"Return to Weidu?" The old man was shocked and a little surprised.
Guo Yanzhi smiled and said, "Brother's letter is coming to you, and you need to find someone who is proficient in alchemy and trustworthy. You watched me grow up and followed my father for many years. Now the chess piece of King Qin is useless. If you stay in the Sui Dynasty, you have no other tasks. It is better to go back to Weidu and meet your relatives."
"But... Once the old slave leaves, will it be the only lady left to stay in Da Sui!" the old man said worriedly.
Guo Yanzhi said: "I am hiding in the Wei Palace now. The Wei King trusts me very much, and there is no problem with my identity and there will be no trouble. When you leave, I will be the only one left, and there are no clues to find. I will be safer."
The old man nodded. Indeed, he had been here forever, and it was possible that the young lady would be involved. After all, there were many people who knew that he was the alchemist of King Yang Jun of Qin.
"The old slave will leave tomorrow!" After the old man said that, he couldn't help saying, "Miss, you must pay attention to safety when you stay in the Sui Dynasty. Why should you participate in these intrigues? If you have the chance in the future, it is better to go back to Weidu earlier to reunite with the master's wife!"
"Don't I want to? But after I go back, I'm afraid I'll make trouble again. And my brother won't let me go back." Guo Yanzhi smiled.
"Young Master..." The old man pursed his lips and did not dare to continue talking.
Guo Yanzhi took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "These words shouldn't be told to you, but Uncle, you are my relatives when you see me growing up. Why did my brother want to send me to the Sui Dynasty? Other places are OK, because this is my brother's plan. His loyalty to Emperor Wei made him willing to use my sister, as he planned, to marry into the Sui Palace, so that I could get close to Emperor Sui and complete his big plan..."
The old man sighed in his heart. His young master is as wise as a demon. For the sake of Emperor Wei's great cause, he even was willing to use his own sister. I really don't know how to describe it.
"I have been going against his wishes over the years. The distance is too far, and he can't do anything about it. This time, he asked me to commit myself to King Yang Chao of Wei or King Yang Guang of Jin, because he believed that these two people were most likely to inherit the throne. This may be the only place I can choose." Guo Yanzhi smiled.
Although his tone is calm, his smile is sad.
The old man couldn't help but persuade: "Miss, why don't you leave Da Sui? Don't you want to travel around the world? Why not live for yourself once!"
Guo Yanzhi was still laughing without answering, but her smile had already told the situation.
Can you really live for yourself once?
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Today is to be practiced for you!" Guo Yanzhi changed the topic.
The old man nodded and spent lunch with Guo Yanzhi.
After dinner, the old man's eyes were a little wet and bowed to Guo Yanzhi three times. He was not young anymore and could not withstand the long journey. This time he parted, he should be a farewell forever.
Guo Yanzhi stood up and returned the gift, watching the old man leave.
Guo Yanzhi was the only one left in the room. Looking at the remaining wine in the wine glass, he was stunned and dazed.
After a while, she came to her senses and murmured to herself: "I'm not young anymore, I really should get married. King Wei and King Jin?"
With a bitter smile, Guo Yanzhi also left the restaurant.
After getting on the carriage, the coachman drove Guo Yanzhi to the side door of the Wei Palace. Then, Guo Yanzhi got off the carriage and walked into the palace.
After passing through the atrium, I suddenly heard that the King of Han and King of Yue were coming.
During this period, the two kings and Yang Chao were inseparable. This time, the arrival did not arouse Guo Yanzhi's curiosity. He just thought it was a normal thing and returned to his residence.
The cautious Guo Yanzhi was completely unaware that she had been secretly followed. After Guo Yanzhi entered the Wei Palace, the followers waited for a long time before turning around and leaving.
Not long after, the news came back to the Ming Palace.
Yang Shuang was a little surprised when she heard the news after the stalking. Unexpectedly, the alchemist beside Yang Jun was actually a man from the Wei Palace, and she was a woman.
Yang Shuang looked at Han Qinhu, Zhao Zongtang and others, and asked, "Why are there no information from this person in the information you collected?"
Zhao Zongtang is the manager of the Ming Prince's Mansion and one of Yang Shuang's confidants. Although he does not have superb martial arts and top-notch strategies, he is serious and loyal.
He collected a lot of external information.
Hearing His Highness’s inquiry, Zhao Zongtang blamed himself and replied: “Report to Your Highness, it was a villain who was negligent. When collecting information from the Wei Palace, he should have neglected this woman! The villain will send someone to investigate now!”
"It seems that this girl is not simple! Be careful and never be discovered." Yang Shuang reminded.
Zhao Zongtang stepped down respectfully.
Guo Yanzhi was indeed cautious. He was the chief strategist of the King of Wei, but the role he played in the King of Wei's mansion was the distant cousin of the King of Wei. Moreover, Yang Chao did not disclose her identity to the outside world, so even some people from the King of Wei's mansion did not know Guo Yanzhi's identity as a strategist.
In people's impression, the counselors are all men, while the identity of a woman is inherently confusing.
Yang Shuang did not take this female adviser to heart. He heard that Yang Liang and Yang Xiu had gone to the Wei Palace. It seemed that Yang Jun’s plan had begun.
Yang Shuang did not have the kindness to remind Yang Chao, after all, Yang Shuang was not a good person. She asked Yang Jun to rush around and Yang Shuang was a bystander. As for who died or who hurt, as long as she did not affect herself, she could reap the benefits of the fisherman, and then watch it on the wall.
Just be brothers in this life, and then discuss your brotherly feelings with them in the next life.
Then Yang Shuang got up and prepared to enter the palace because His Majesty summoned him.
When he arrived at the imperial study room, Yang Shuang saw that there was no one else in the room, and could not guess the intention of His Majesty's summoning.
"The emperor is here, come on..."
When Emperor Sui saw Yang Shuang, he reached out to summon him before Yang Shuang could salute.
When Yang Shuang saw the smile on the face of Emperor Sui, she seemed very happy, so she walked over and stopped beside him.
I saw a map on the dragon table, which was a topographic map outside the pass. The map marked the locations of the six governor's offices and Fuyu City, and also included the approximate cities in the Khitan territory.
The Emperor Sui said: "You came back from outside the pass and are familiar with the situation there. Yesterday, 800 miles rushed to send military newspapers. In order to regain Fuyu City, the Khitan Emperor asked the King of the West Courtyard Yelu Shan to repair and reorganize 200,000 troops. At the same time, there were also large troops in the Turkic territory, and the intention of attack was not obvious. It should be to help the Khitan create momentum and disperse our troops, but they had to guard against it. So next, how do you think the Great Sui Dynasty fight?"
Yang Shuang didn't expect that His Majesty summoned him for this matter. It seems that this great victory outside the border not only changed his view of himself, but even began to pay attention to it.
This sign is a good sign!
Thinking of this, Yang Shuang decided to perform well and said, "Father, the Turks sent troops, and the feint attack was relatively large! Because the internal problems of the Turks have not been resolved, it is impossible to use troops rashly against us. So when the Khitan attacked us last time, the Turks sent only 15,000 cavalrymen. Later, they were defeated and the Turks did not send troops to continue to support them, so the situation of the Turks could be seen. So my son felt that the Turks would never participate in this Khitan attack on Fuyu City."
"Besides, it is not the time for the Turks to attack. The snow on the grassland has not yet melted, and the Turks dare not use troops on a large scale. Even if they use troops, we are alert, so we naturally don't have to be afraid!"
Emperor Sui nodded and asked, "Then how do you think you will deal with the Khitan's attack?"
Yang Shuang replied: "Father, Fuyu City is the largest city in the southern part of the Khitan. Now it is lost, and the people in the Khitan are in chaos, so he must find a way to restore the morale of the army. Furthermore, if the time is delayed for a long time, the Khitan emperor is also afraid that we will send a large number of troops to Fuyu City. After a long time, the management will be more perfect, and the possibility of capturing Fuyu City will be lower. So the Khitan has to attack. Then, we must defend Fuyu City! Defending the city is easier than siege. With the support of Pinglu and Gewu City, it is impossible for the Khitan to take over Fuyu City with 200,000 troops. Not everyone is as lucky as Erchen, who can take advantage of the lack of troops in Fuyu City and then use a strategy to seize it. Erchen has picked up a big advantage!"
