Chapter 271: The country is enriched and the army is strong, Helian is supported, the country is gov
"You asked my cousin-in-law to save you? What do you think?"
"You're so shameless, I'll scratch you to death."
Gu Wangshu's hands kept moving towards Wang Miaomiao's face. At this moment, she was like a shrew. A wealthy lady like Wang Miaomiao was really a little overwhelmed.
"You madman, let me go quickly."
"Why should I let you go first? Why don't you let me go?"
"We let go at the same time."
"Okay, I'll count to three, one, two, three, let go."
Gu Wangshu let go of Wang Miaomiao, and at the same time, Wang Miaomiao also let go of her.
However, at the same moment when Wang Miaomiao let go of Gu Wangshu, she did not forget to pull Gu Wangshu's hair hard, causing Gu Wangshu to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
Wang Miaomiao laughed and ran out with a face full of scratches.
Gu Wangshu chased her from behind: "Wang Miaomiao, stop right there."
"I won't stop. You have the guts to chase me."
Gu Wangshu was so angry with Wang Miaomiao that he chased after Wang Miaomiao.
When Wang Miaomiao saw that Gu Wangshu was really chasing after her, her heart skipped a beat.
She said that Gu Wangshu was a madman, but she was really a madman. She had never seen a woman more difficult to deal with than Gu Wangshu.
This damn guy was always going against her and bullying her.
Wang Miaomiao ran as hard as she could in the Hou Mansion. She didn't know exactly where she ran, but she ran wherever there was a road.
But he never got rid of Gu Wangshu behind him.
Wang Miaomiao was in a hurry and ran directly into a house in front.
Gu Wangshu's eyes flashed when he saw her entering the room.
Wang Miaomiao actually ran into Chen Zui's study. Chen Zui's study was full of portraits of Yun Musheng. With Wang Miaomiao's love for Chen Zui, she would definitely feel jealous when she saw Yun Musheng's portrait. Heart, it would be bad if the portrait in the study was destroyed.
With Chen Zui's personality, it is very possible to kill Wang Miaomiao.
Although Wang Miaomiao is hateful, she is the niece of the Queen Mother after all. If Chen Zui kills Wang Miaomiao, Helianjue will have a hard time doing it.
Gu Wangshu came to the door but did not push it open. She patted the door and warned:
"Wang Miaomiao, I advise you not to interfere with the paintings in the study. You also know how deep Chen Zui's feelings are for my cousin. My cousin is no longer here, and Chen Zui's only thoughts are These portraits, if you destroy them, Chen Zui will definitely not let you go."
After Gu Wangshu finished speaking, he listened quietly to the movement inside, but found that the study was very quiet.
"Wang Miaomiao, have you heard me? If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the Prime Minister, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."
"Chen Zui is a pillar of Helian Kingdom. Don't touch Chen Zui's bottom line because of your children's affair. If Chen Zui really hurts you because of these portraits, do you want the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to punish him or not? he?"
Gu Wangshu pushed the door, but still didn't open it.
Wang Miaomiao, who was standing in the study, was already so shocked by the scene in front of her that she became unresponsive.
Of course she knew that Chen liked Yun Musheng the most, but she didn't expect that he would love her so much.
Even though Yun Musheng is dead, he still has so many portraits, and he even puts them in his study.
Almost all of the study room was occupied by Yun Musheng's portraits, especially the one in the middle of the study room. I don't know how it was painted. It was exactly the same as Yun Musheng's, making her painting lifelike.
Is Chen Zui so unable to let go of Yun Musheng?Yun Musheng has been dead for several months, can't he still come out?
After listening to Gu Wangshu's warning, Wang Miaomiao actually wanted to destroy these paintings, but she didn't dare.
Chen Zui has no feelings for her at all. If she destroys the painting he protects, I believe Chen Zui will really kill her.
"Yun Mu Sheng, you said you're going to die, so why don't you stop occupying Chen Zong? Chen Zong is so outstanding and has a bright future waiting for him. Do you want her to remember you all her life?" Don’t you want to marry? Do you want to see Chen Zui cut off his children and grandchildren?”
She spoke a lot to the air, but no one answered her questions.
"Yun Musheng, if you really love him, you should give him a dream and make him forget you. I like him. If I become the mistress of the Hou Mansion in the future, I will take good care of him. Of course, you will also It can be understood that I take care of him on your behalf, isn’t that great?”
She walked around the study and finally sighed.
Although she is willful, she is not in trouble with a dead man.
Time is the best medicine. As long as it lasts long enough, I believe Chen Zui will forget Yun Musheng.
Just as Wang Miaomiao was thinking this, she suddenly heard Chen Zui's voice.
"come out!"
This sound was mixed with suppressed anger, and Chen was obviously the most angry.
Wang Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat, why did Chen Zui come so quickly?
It must have been found by Gu Wangshu, a troubled woman. Fortunately, she didn't touch Yun Mu Sheng's paintings.
Wang Miaomiao pulled the latch and opened the door. Standing at the door was Chen Zui with an angry look on his face.
His look of wanting to eat someone startled Wang Miaomiao, and she stuttered a bit when she spoke: "Chen, Chen Zui, I, I didn't touch the paintings in the study."
Chen stared at her coldly: "Why do you want to enter my study?"
Wang Miaomiao immediately shook her head: "I didn't mean to enter your study, I entered accidentally."
There was a look of fear on her face, and she was obviously frightened by Chen's coldest breath.
Chen Zui moved his eyes away from her face and looked towards the study.
The furnishings in the study room had not changed at all, the paintings were all in good condition, and there were no signs of damage by Wang Miaomiao, so he felt relieved.
"come out."
Wang Miaomiao seemed to be released and quickly left the study, looking at Chen Zui's back anxiously.
Chen Zui was still wearing a thin middle coat. In the cold winter, he couldn't feel the cold at first, which made people feel distressed.
Wang Miaomiao lowered her head. She still felt sorry for him. His attitude just now made her want to tear her into pieces.
She was really hot-faced but cold-assed. Wang Miaomiao laughed at herself in her heart.
Gu Wangshu moved to her side: "I guess you still have some sense of proportion."
Wang Miaomiao didn't wait to see Gu Wangshu and snorted: "If you hadn't chased me, would I have come here?"
"You deserve it." Gu Wangshu rolled his eyes at her: "You insisted on entering the Hou's Mansion, but the concierge refused to let you in. You insisted on entering, and you bullied others. Is this the rule of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Embarrassment flashed across Wang Miaomiao's face, but in front of Gu Wangshu, she was unwilling to admit defeat.
"I'm just trying to scare the concierge. How can I, the daughter of the Prime Minister, argue with a servant? After all, am I not worried about Chen Zui? I feel relieved to see that he is intact today and has no injuries on his body."
"When I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, did the Prime Minister tell you why I quarreled with you yesterday?"
Wang Miaomiao felt a little uncomfortable.
The prime minister did tell her last night that Gu Wangshu stopped her from mentioning Chen Zui because he was worried that she would tell him about Chen Zui's attack on Nalan Kingdom.
The Nalan Kingdom was taken over by the Helian Kingdom. News about this incident was sealed, and Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao were not aware of it.
If it is known to the three countries, they will unite to prevent their country from being annexed, and the relationship will only become closer.
If Helian Kingdom wants to unify the world, it must find ways to break the alliance between them.
Nowadays, Dashuo and Zhao Guo's attitude towards Dongling is relatively ambiguous.
He had the intention to cooperate, but because Zhou Qingxu had too many tricks, he did not dare to get too close to Dongling easily for fear of being implicated by the Dongling Kingdom.
The current situation of Dongling Kingdom is very embarrassing. It has offended Helian Kingdom and is not favored by Dashuo and Zhao Kingdom.
The most critical point is that Helian State currently has a good relationship with Dashuo and Zhao State, so that they can implement the strategy of establishing distant relations and close attacks.
Zhou Qingxu repeatedly provoked Helian State, which undoubtedly gave Helian State a reason to attack Dongling State.
When Wang Miaomiao returned home last night, Wang Hanbo analyzed these powerful relationships with her.
When she learned that Gu Wangshu deliberately conflicted with her regardless of his image, she knew that Gu Wangshu's intelligence was beyond her ability.
But she was accustomed to being superior, but she didn't want to admit it.
Wang Miaomiao looked at Gu Wangshu with complicated eyes.
Gu Wangshu also glanced at her: "It seems that I have told you. In this case, you must be careful when speaking in front of Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao people in the future. You'd better not say anything to avoid exposing your IQ. .”
Wang Miaomiao didn't want to pay attention to Gu Wangshu. She also knew that she couldn't defeat Gu Wangshu, so she simply chose to shut up.
This was one of the few times the two of them were together in peace.
Chen Zui walked around the study room and found no traces of persecution. Then he walked out of the study room and closed the door behind him.
He looked at Wang Miaomiao and said calmly: "I will never forget Mu Sheng in my life."
After saying that, regardless of the expressions of Wang Miaomiao and Gu Wangshu, he turned around and left.
Wang Miaomiao blinked: "Gu Wangshu, he doesn't really intend to die alone."
"I think so." Gu Wangshu said, looking at Chen Zui's back as he walked away.
"Why is he so stubborn?"
"Now that you know he is stubborn, you should stop liking him."
"Hmph! Don't worry about it."
"You are quite stubborn."
Wang Miaomiao rolled her eyes at Gu Wangshu, flicked her sleeves, ignored Gu Wangshu, and walked towards the door of the mansion.
Gu Wangshu followed her closely. When they left the Hou Mansion, Gu Wangshu said to Wang Miaomiao, "Happy New Year."
"Hey! Are you still going to give me New Year greetings? I really can't tell."
"Since I've blessed you with New Year's greetings, let's get the red envelope."
"Bah, why are you so thick-skinned? You made me blush, but you still have the nerve to ask me for a red envelope. I didn't ask you for money. You're pretty good. You're shameless."
Gu Wangshu felt funny in his heart.
This Wang Miaomiao actually has a cute side. When she's not going crazy or being pretentious, she'd still be cute.
Looking at the scratches on her face, Gu Wangshu was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, I won't give it if you don't give it, but you can't tell the Prime Minister and the Queen Mother that it was me who caught their faces. You don't want the courtiers to be at odds because of you and me, right?"
"Humph." She snorted coldly, agreeing to Gu Wangshu's request.
In this way, the two of them went home.
During the past few days of the Chinese New Year, everything was normal.
Zhou Qingxu didn't make any more mistakes.
The New Year passed like this, and everything seemed normal.
The four countries of Helian, Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao are living in peace and harmony, but as the weather gets warmer day by day, Helian will have something to do again soon.
The weather is getting warmer and the planting season has arrived.
The three countries of Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao sowed the grain seeds brought back from Helian Kingdom into the fields, waiting for the grain to mature and a bumper harvest.
The same is true in Helian Kingdom. After the weather warms up, the people get busy.
During this time, Gu Wangshu, He Lianhuan and Chen Zui discussed how to deal with Dongling Kingdom.
Only the seeds from Dongling Kingdom are fried, so naturally they cannot grow food.
The Dongling Kingdom will definitely cause trouble, and then the Helian Kingdom will have a reasonable reason to attack the Dongling Kingdom.
In addition, Zhou Qingxu once did two ridiculous things in Helian Kingdom.
The first was his adultery with Tang Wanwan, but Helianguo did not punish him.
The second thing was to bring a fake Qilin to deceive Helian State, but Helian State still did not punish him.
If they wait until the Dongling Kingdom can no longer grow food before provoking the Helian Kingdom, then the Helian Kingdom will have a legitimate reason.
You have to endure one and endure two, but you can’t tolerate three and four.
You see, I've tolerated you twice, but you still go the extra mile. I can't bear it anymore and want to attack you. Isn't it normal?
Since Zhou Qingxu's first mission to the Helian Kingdom, Helianhuan, Gu Wangshu and others had been making plans step by step.
Now that the seeds have been planted in the soil, Dashuo and Zhao will definitely be able to grow food. Only Dongling cannot grow food. Dashuo and Zhao will not think that it is the Helian Kingdom who has tampered with it. They will only think that Dongling has done something wrong. They were provoking trouble because Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan had already seen Zhou Qingxu's unreliability.
The Helian Kingdom developed its economy step by step, training its troops and horses every day to prepare for the attack on the Dongling Kingdom.
Gu Wangshu said: "I believe that Helian Kingdom will be able to send troops to Dongling in the near future. By then, who among you, Chen Houye or His Highness, will lead the troops?"
Chen Zui and He Lianhuan were silent.
He Lianhuan said: "It's the same whether we lead the troops."
Gu Wangshu knew that he was right. He and Chen Zui were equally talented.
She looked at Chen Zui, who thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, please lead the troops."
He Lianhuan was confused: "Why?"
"I want to stay with Mu Sheng. I don't want to go anywhere."
"..."
For a moment, no one made a sound, and the air became silent.
Chen Zui was not interested in anything. He even thought about offering to become a monk so that he could pray for Yun Musheng every day.
It's just that to be a monk, you need to keep your six senses pure, but with Mu Sheng in his heart, he can't be pure at all.
Chen Zui leaned back on the chair motionlessly, looking into the distance, lost in thought.
His appearance made Gu Wangshu a little sad.
It's been more than half a year since his cousin passed away, and Chen Zui still can't get out.
I don’t know how long it will take him to completely let go.
His inability to let go shows that he has deep feelings for his cousin, but it is not good for his body.
"My cousin likes Mr. Hou so much, so she probably doesn't want you to become ill with your thoughts."
Chen Zui's eyes moved and he looked at Gu Wangshu.
"But if I forget her, do you think she will be sad?"
Gu Wangshu: "..."
Gu Wangshu didn't know whether Yun Musheng would be sad, but if it were her and the person she loved forgot about her half a year after her death, she would be sad.
She suddenly felt that her persuasion was meaningless to Chen Zui.
If Chen Zui could forget, he wouldn't be so lonely.
Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan said nothing more, and the three of them just stayed together quietly drinking tea.
In a blink of an eye, noon has passed, and Gu Wangshu is going back to the general's mansion.
However, after leaving the Hou Mansion, He Lianhuan asked: "Xiyue, have you swam across the lake?"
Gu Wangshu was stunned, a little confused as to why He Lianhuan asked such a question.
He Lianhuan looked at her with very focused eyes, and he couldn't hide the emotion inside.
Gu Wangshu did not dodge his eyes, the two of them had already connected with each other.
She liked his intelligence, he valued her intelligence, and the two of them understood each other.
Gu Wangshu shook his head: "Since I was a child, I have never swum in a lake."
This is true. Whether in modern times or in ancient times, Gu Wangshu has never had the experience of visiting a lake.
A smile appeared on her face: "Does His Highness want to take me to the lake?"
"Will you come with me?"
Gu Wangshu raised his head and looked at the sky: "It's noon and I haven't had lunch yet."
After saying this, she sighed: "This guy Chen Zui doesn't know how to treat guests. He actually let the two of us go home hungry."
He Lianhuan took Gu Wangshu's hand and said, "Can I have dinner with you?"
"Okay." Gu Wangshu agreed happily.
The two of them got into the carriage, which drove along Taiping Street towards the city gate.
When passing by Quan's restaurant, the carriage stopped, and the two of them packed some food at Quan's restaurant.
I originally planned to give him money, but Yu Quan refused to accept it.
Gu Wangshu was helpless. After thanking him, she and He Lianhuan got into the carriage again.
Yu Quan stood in front of the restaurant, watching the carriage drive away from Yong'an City, his heart felt a little heavy.
This heaviness has existed since Yun Musheng was killed outside Yong'an City.
When he heard the bad news, he was in a state of disbelief.
Yun Musheng is the legitimate daughter of Yun Shangshu and the cousin of Miss Gu. She has a noble status and is gentle and dignified. Has such a noble lady done something outrageous?Why did it end up in such a miserable end?
Yu Quan couldn't figure it out until later he heard someone say that the person who killed Yun Musheng was Fu Shoucheng, the man who called himself Fu Cheng.
The other party was a food delivery person and often had dinner at his restaurant, so Yu Quan was naturally very familiar with Fu Shoucheng.
When he learned that Yun Musheng was killed by Fu Shoucheng, Yu Quan felt guilty.
He suddenly remembered that Fu Shoucheng had asked him who Chao He was. At that time, he didn't think much about it and told him that Chao He was Yun Musheng's name without hesitation.
He still remembered Fu Shoucheng's expression of surprise and disbelief when he heard the news.
It looked very troubled and painful.
At that time, he didn't understand why Fu Shoucheng showed such an expression. Later he realized that Fu Shoucheng was the son of Nalan Kingdom's general Fu Xingguo.
Fu Shoucheng came to Yong'an, the capital of Helian Kingdom, with only one purpose: to avenge his father's murderer.
Yun Musheng's death was partly related to him.
If only he had not talked too much, Fu Shoucheng would not have known that Yun Musheng was Chao He, and Yun Musheng would not have died.
Because of this incident, Yu Quan has always blamed himself very much.
But he is just a commoner and can do nothing but live with guilt.
Whenever I go to the temple, I never forget to offer incense to Yun Musheng.
There's only so much that can be done.
Yu Quan sighed and turned around to enter the restaurant.
Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan had already left Yong'an City. The carriage was very quiet, and no one spoke.
While passing by the section of road where Yun Musheng was killed, Gu Wangshu couldn't help but lift the car curtain and look out.
This stretch of road no longer looked charred and black, it was smooth and quiet, as if nothing had happened.
However, no matter what this road looks like, it will always be a lingering nightmare for Gu Wangshu.
She lowered the curtain and leaned tiredly on the carriage, her body swaying as the carriage moved forward.
Whenever she passed by an uneven road, He Lianhuan would help her to prevent her from becoming unstable.
Gu Wangshu smiled gently at him, and He Lianhuan smiled back every time.
"I think His Highness has changed."
"Really?" He Lianhuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with focused eyes, as if he couldn't get enough of her. Every time he looked at Gu Wangshu, he was very serious.
The look in her eyes made Gu Wangshu's heart beat faster.
"Yes, His Highness is not as rude to me now as before. I still remember that when I left Yong'an for the first time and followed His Highness to Yong'an City, I fell off the carriage and was in a panic. His Highness was still riding on the tall horse. , looking down at me, like looking at a clown."
He Lianhuan recalled the scene at that time.
Indeed, as Gu Wangshu said, his attitude towards Gu Wangshu at that time seemed to be very cold, but it was special. If it were another woman, he would not care about it, let alone ride with her. .
After all, she left a deep impression on Gu Wangshu from the moment she met him.
Every time we met in the future, she was the most different among the crowd.
The first time he was touched was during his time in prison.
She, the dignified eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, would come to the dirty and messy cell to see him. Not only would she bring him dumplings, fox fur, and books, but she was also the only person who chatted with him during that time in prison.
From that time on, his feelings for Gu Wangshu were different. It was no longer blindly indifferent, but more curious.
He would later like her, and it also started from this curiosity.
"You were so silly and cute back then. No one in Yong'an wanted to get close to me. You were the only one chasing after me. You insisted on following me to Taiping City. You weren't afraid that I would kill you in anger. You abandoned your horse? Why are you so brave?"
Gu Wangshu was not brave, she was a little afraid of He Lianhuan at that time, but for the Gu family and the whole Helian, she had to bravely move forward.
Fortunately, everything is worth it.
The Helian Kingdom was preserved, its national strength was strong, and its territory was expanding little by little.
The Gu family has completely escaped the fate of being implicated in the nine clans in their previous life.
She was also living well, and was liked by the outstanding Second Prince. Everything was different from her previous life.
"I'm really glad that I shamelessly pestered His Highness, otherwise how could a man as outstanding as His Highness notice me."
He Lianhuan pondered for a while and asked: "Xiyue, you didn't fall in love with me at first sight, did you?"
Gu Wangshu: "..."
It's rare to see him narcissistic.
When they met for the first time, she was afraid that he would not be able to make it in time, so how could she fall in love at first sight.
But it’s true that once you see someone you’ll never forget it.
Gu Wangshu's mind changed rapidly, and he did not express his true thoughts, but said with absolute certainty: "Yes, I just fell in love with His Highness at first sight, so in the rest of my life, I will try my best to get close to His Highness."
She raised her chin and said proudly, without any pretense.
He Lianhuan's smile deepened: "It turns out that you have been plotting evil against me for a long time. It seems that I have fallen into your trap."
"Does Your Highness regret it?" Gu Wangshu raised his eyebrows.
He Lianhuan put away his smile and said solemnly: "I will never regret it in this life."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the carriage was very warm along the way.
There is a lake twenty miles away from Yong'an City.
When Gu Wangshu arrived, he found that a bamboo raft had already been parked by the lake.
There are bamboo chairs on the bamboo raft and a table made of bamboo. There are pastries and tea sets on the table. It seems that they have been arranged in advance.
"Is Your Highness so sure that I will agree to come to the lake with you?"
"I just thought you should like it."
Gu Wangshu really liked it. In modern times, she had longed for the scene of sitting on a bamboo raft floating on the lake and going around the mountains. Unexpectedly, He Lianhuan helped her fulfill this wish.
With He Lianhuan's help, Gu Wangshu got on the bamboo raft and sat on the bamboo chair.
He Lianhuan, on the other hand, held a long bamboo pole in his hand, stretched it into the water and pushed it hard, and the bamboo raft gradually moved away from the shore.
The lake surface was a bit cool in spring, and the cool wind carrying water vapor blew on Gu Wangshu's face, making her feel even more comfortable.
The clear water and blue sky are like a fairyland.
Gu Wangshu's eyes fell on He Lianhuan's tall and straight back.
His body is upright, even standing there quietly is pleasing to the eye.
"Chen most needs to guard his cousin at home. The task of attacking Dongling this time will fall on His Highness. However, I believe that with His Highness' ability, it should be very easy to capture Dongling."
"Do you really believe in my abilities?"
"Well, I have never doubted that if even His Highness can't do something, no one in this world can do it."
He Lianhuan was pleased by Gu Wangshu's straightforward praise.
"Just what you said, I will capture Dongling as soon as possible."
Mentioning Dongling, Gu Wangshu couldn't help but think of his Xiaoshu Gu Jinghong.
"I haven't seen my uncle for a long, long time."
In the four years since her rebirth, her brother-in-law has never returned home once, and has always stayed at the easternmost border of Helian Kingdom.
When Daliang was not divided, Gu Jinghong guarded Qingyun Pass at the junction of Helian Kingdom and Daliang.
Now, Daliang has long since ceased to exist. Helian Kingdom and Dongling border, and Gu Jinghong is guarding the junction of Helian and Dongling without daring to neglect at all.
"My brother-in-law can help His Highness in this attack on Dongling."
"Miss your uncle?"
"Yes, I haven't seen him for several years. Not only me, but my grandmother and second uncle must also miss my uncle."
"Okay, this palace will reunite your family as soon as possible."
Gu Wangshu's heart suddenly felt warm: "Why are you so kind to me, Your Highness?"
He Lianhuan paused while paddling the water with his bamboo pole. He looked at Gu Wangshu and said, "Because I like you. I have promised to be with you for the rest of my life. How can I not be nice to you?"
"It's such a blessing to be liked by His Highness," Gu Wangshu said sincerely.
"Xiyue, what kind of life do you like?"
"I..." she thought for a while and said, "It would be great if I could go boating on the lake and go boating with you anytime, anywhere, or travel all over the country."
"Then when Helian is unified, I will stop being the prince and stay away from the court. Wherever you want to go, we will go."
Gu Wangshu was surprised by his promise to her.
The prince, with such a noble status, he could really give up for her.
Gu Wangshu said a little funny: "I still remember that His Highness only wanted to be the emperor at the time. Don't you think you don't want to do that now?"
"Are you listening to the truth or lies?"
"Of course it's the truth."
"If I tell the truth, I still want to be the emperor and canonize you as the queen. With a virtuous wife like you, I believe I will be more able to handle Helian's affairs. It's a pity that you chose Lord Helian back then. You didn’t choose me.”
Speaking of this, He Lianhuan said a little awkwardly: "When you chose Helian Jue, didn't you have a different feeling for him?"
Gu Wangshu shrugged: "Not at all. The main reason why I chose Lord Helian, who was still the prince at that time, instead of you, is because Lord Helian is more kind, and you..."
"What's wrong with me? Am I too cruel? Are you afraid that I will kill you all?"
Gu Wangshu chuckled and changed the subject: "It turns out that His Highness has always wanted to be emperor. I thought you didn't want to be."
"I haven't always thought that between being the emperor and you, I am more inclined to choose you. Being trapped in the palace every day like Helianjue is quite tiring. There is no such thing as the relaxation of going out on the lake and boating with you. .”
"Then we have made an agreement. When Helian is unified, His Highness must not forget his promise."
"I promised you that I will never forget it even if I die."
When the bamboo raft reached the middle of the lake, He Lianhuan put the bamboos on the raft, sat side by side with Gu Wangshu, and let the bamboo raft float on the water.
Gu Wangshu and he admired the surrounding scenery with their eyes, smelled the unique fresh smell of the lake with their noses, and tasted the sweetness of the pastries in their mouths.
This feeling of relaxation throughout the body and mind is as comfortable as being in the clouds, which is endlessly memorable.
The two of them chatted and swam in the lake, which was so cozy.
Time passed bit by bit, and a full three hours passed. Gu Wangshu didn't feel bored at all. They didn't go back until it was getting dark.
He Lianhuan sent her to the general's mansion and hugged her hard when Gu Wangshu got out of the car.
Gu Wangshu hugged him back, and the two of them couldn't leave each other.
From this day on, He Lianhuan rarely went out and was always planning in the prince's mansion.
Gu Wangshu didn't bother him. She knew that everything he did was for her and Helianguo.
He is so thoughtful, he must be thinking of a perfect plan in his mansion.
Gu Wangshu's guess was correct. He Lianhuan was very smart, very smart. His intelligence was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Dongling Kingdom has planted fried seeds but failed to grow food. It will definitely not give up. It is very likely to create public opinion and use this as an excuse to slander Helian Kingdom for deliberately doing things that harm Dongling Kingdom's agriculture. , the purpose is to annex Dongling Kingdom.
The Dongling Congress used such excuses to persuade Dashuo and Zhao, hoping that the three countries would unite to attack the Helian Kingdom.
However, the seeds of Dashuo and Zhao can be planted normally, and the output has been greatly increased. Not only will they not listen to the Dongling Kingdom, they will also feel that the Dongling Kingdom is looking for trouble, because this is not the first time that the Dongling Kingdom has taken the initiative to provoke He. The country is connected.
Helianguo could just take this opportunity to hit Dongling hard.
As long as Dongling can be annexed, the remaining Dashuo and Zhao will be easily captured.
He Lianhuan made a detailed analysis of the thoughts and next steps of the three countries. Even if they were different from the plans of the three countries, they were not much different.
Facts have proved that He Lianhuan's reputation as an extremely smart person was not just blown away.
When Dongling Kingdom realized that the seeds planted in the ground did not germinate at all, they realized belatedly that Dongling had been deceived by Helian.
At this time, it is too late to sow your own seeds, and the sowing season has long passed.
King Dongling was furious, and Zhou Qingxu was also furious.
"Your Majesty, Helian Kingdom intends to oppose our Dongling Kingdom. Helian Kingdom's ambitions are obvious. If it is allowed to continue to develop, it will be very detrimental to our Dongling Kingdom. Therefore, we must find a way to get rid of Helian Kingdom. Liancai will do.”
"Helian Kingdom has become a climate, how to get rid of it?" King Dongling asked in confusion.
Zhou Qingxu sneered: "Since Helian Kingdom dares to attack the agricultural production of Helian Kingdom, then we might as well create public opinion and expose Helian Kingdom's tricks to others. Dongling's seeds are fake. I believe Dashuo and Zhao’s is also fake, and our three countries must unite to fight against the Helian Kingdom and strive to carve up the Helian Kingdom as soon as possible.”
King Dongling nodded frequently:
"What Aiqing said is true. Let Aiqing handle the matter of spreading rumors."
Zhou Qingxu was full of confidence.
Isn’t it easy to spread the rumors? As long as the seeds brought back by the Dongling Kingdom from the Helian Kingdom cannot grow food as a basis, it is not spread that the Helian Kingdom has the ambition to annex Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao Kingdom. I believe that after the public opinion ferments, everyone will They will all besiege Helian Kingdom one-sidedly.
Zhou Qingxu made plans and made arrangements.
Soon, the entire Dongling Kingdom knew about Helianguo's shameless behavior and began to abuse Helianguo.
The harsh words of abuse penetrated into the Helian Kingdom, and the people of the Helian Kingdom rolled their eyes fiercely.
"This is called a dog biting Lu Dongbin. He doesn't know a good heart."
"Isn't that right? Isn't this the real version of the farmer and the snake?"
"Our Dongling Kingdom has no harvest. Helian Kingdom is trying to push our people to a dead end. They want to starve us to death. How can Helian Kingdom be so vicious?"
Within half a month, the entire Dongling Kingdom was scolding Helian Kingdom, and these insults even began to spread to Dashuo and Zhao Kingdom.
But what Zhou Qingxu didn't expect was that the seeds from Dashuo and Zhao were actually planted, and the seedlings looked better than the seedlings in Qunmian.
The emperors of Dashuo and Zhao heard the rumors created by Dongling and began to question their respective advisers.
Fu Jiuyuan said to Emperor Dashuo: "Your Majesty, this is nothing to make a fuss about. I still remember that I told you before that Zhou Qingxu had committed adultery with Lord Helian's concubine in the palace of Helian Kingdom, and later deceived Lord Helian with a fake unicorn. Later, he made disobedient remarks to General Gu's daughter-in-law before leaving the palace. It can be seen from his words and deeds that Zhou Qingxu is an impulsive and brainless person."
"Such a person serves as the counselor of Dongling Kingdom, and I don't know what the emperor of Dongling Kingdom thinks. This also reflects that King Dongling is not a smart and wise person. Such a person will never become our partners, joining forces with them will only bring us down."
After analysis by Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan, Dashuo and the emperor of Zhao felt that it was very reasonable, and they no longer paid attention to the public opinion issue in Dongling Kingdom.
Zhou Qingxu and the emperor of Dongling Kingdom were dumbfounded and didn't understand which link had gone wrong.
The emperor of Dongling Kingdom wanted Zhou Qingxu to send envoys to Dashuo and Zhao to lobby. Unfortunately, the emperors of the two countries did not see Zhou Qingxu at all, for fear that cooperating with Dongling Kingdom, which was as stupid as a pig, would dissatisfy Helian Kingdom.
The Dongling Kingdom has completely offended the Helian Kingdom. The emperor of the Helian Kingdom has given you face over and over again. It’s fine if you don’t continue. You still push the envelope again and again. Isn’t this asking for death?
When the rumors spread to Helian, Gu Jinghong, who was guarding the border between the two countries, first attacked the Dongling Kingdom and asked for an explanation.
There is no explanation from Dongling State, and the relationship between the two countries is becoming increasingly rigid. Physical conflicts sometimes occur, and war is about to break out.
There was an emergency at the border, and when the news reached Yong'an, Helian Jue was angry and went to the poker table.
"What a country of Dongling. My forbearance not only failed to make it behave, but also encouraged its arrogance. Now it dares to take the initiative to provoke at the border. This is a humiliation to our country, Helian, and it has not let us go at all. In my eyes, if we, the Helian Kingdom, do not give it a major blow, the Dongling Kingdom will never give up."
What Helian Jue said was reasonable and well-founded. He stood on the moral high ground to judge Dongling Kingdom.
Therefore, when the Helian Kingdom was forced to send troops to attack the Dongling Kingdom, Dashuo and Zhao were not surprised at all, and even expected it.
The key is that Zhou Qingxu had already fallen into the Helian Kingdom's trap when he came to Helian, and they induced him to make mistakes step by step.
The mistakes he made will eventually become the excuse for the Helian Kingdom to send troops to the Dongling Kingdom.
He Lianhuan led his troops to join Gu Jinghong first, and then the two of them led the troops to attack Dongling together.
During the war between Helian and Dongling, Helian still maintained good relations with Dashuo and Zhao.
The main reason is that the seeds provided by Helian State to Dashuo and Zhao are of the highest quality. The yield per mu is expected to reach [-] to [-] kilograms, which is twice the seed production capacity of the two countries.
With such a big temptation ahead of them, how could Dashuo and Zhao Guo help Dongling fight against Helian.
Such a result was something that King Dongling and Zhou Qingxu did not expect.
They were defeated steadily by Helianguo's attack, and they didn't even have the strength to resist.
They didn't know when the Helian Kingdom's military strength became so powerful, and they took away cities in Dongling without any effort.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Emperor of Dongling Kingdom could not hold on any longer. He wanted to cease the war and ordered Zhou Qingxu to go to Helian Kingdom to seek peace.
However, the Helian Kingdom did not follow Zhou Qingxu at all. Tens of thousands of arrows were fired at the Dongling Kingdom's city guards like falling rain. The speed was too fake. The Dongling Army fell in response and did not give Zhou Qingxu a chance at all. Allow any opportunity.
The war in neighboring countries was tense, but Helian's country was not affected in any way.
Perhaps because Helian Kingdom has successively annexed Mobei, Xuanyuan and Nalan in recent years, the people have become more trustful in the country. From the initial worries, they are no longer paying much attention to the war.
Yongan City.
Gu Wangshu was taking Qiuchi shopping on Taiping Street, when two people walked up to him, one big and one small, one male and one female.
The woman Gu Wangshu knew was Wang Miaomiao.
The boy was about eight or nine years old, and he was very cute. Although he was still young and had not yet grown, he could already tell that he was handsome.
Gu Wangshu always felt familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.
