Deputy General Qin's pupils shrank sharply, and an idea raged in his mind like a storm.
He is defending his country!
He was trying to protect the people from being massacred by the Huns!
He was trying to protect his family!
Gu Sang's words reminded Deputy General Qin of his first time on the battlefield. At that time, all he wanted was to achieve success as soon as possible so that he could go back and reunite with his wife.
But as his military achievements grew and his official rank rose again and again, he didn't know when his original idea had changed.
Now, his mind is full of the thought that he must not betray his country!
As Zhou Qichen said, is he loyal to this country now, or is he only loyal to Pei Changying?
Deputy General Qin finally opened his heart to Gu Sang. He said, "The late emperor was very kind to me. I once swore that whoever the late emperor recognized as the emperor would be the one I would be loyal to!"
"I am not loyal to a certain person, I am only loyal to the emperor entrusted to me by the late emperor!"
"And he is the one who rightfully sits in that position!"
After hearing this, Gu Sang finally understood the key point.
She smiled and asked back, "What if I tell you that Pei Changying got to this position through conspiracy, and that he was not the one who inherited the throne according to the late emperor's will?"
"Will you still defend Pei Changying to the death?"
"You're talking nonsense!!!" Deputy General Qin shouted excitedly.
The shouting alarmed the guards outside.
"System, temporarily suspend the connection."
After the live broadcast room was upgraded, the connection could have been terminated a long time ago, but this was the first time Gu Sang had to terminate it.
As long as the connection is terminated, the screen will become transparent and no one can see the screen in front of them.
But Gu Sang could see what was happening on the other side.
The guard came in, looked around, and left after finding no one.
Gu Sang waited for five minutes before the system started again.
The screen slowly emerged from its transparent state.
Deputy General Qin stared at Gu Sang without blinking. It was obvious that he had not yet digested Gu Sang's shocking news in these few minutes.
Gu Sang pursed her lips and said sincerely, "Actually, I didn't want to talk about this matter, because I was also involved. At that time, the late emperor passed away..."
Gu Sang still admired the late emperor very much. He had seen during his lifetime that Pei Changying had a bad temper and was not suitable to be the ruler of the world.
So no matter how wise Pei Changying pretended to be in front of the late emperor.
The late emperor refused to speak and passed the throne to him.
During the time when the late emperor was ill, Gu Sang discovered that Pei Changying was plotting something with those retainers. When she found out that Pei Changying had secretly changed the late emperor's will, the late emperor was already breathing more heavily than breathing heavily.
Pei Changying knelt on the ground and begged Gu Sang, swearing that he would manage the country with all his heart in the future.
Gu Sang naturally agreed!
She paid so much, endured so much suffering and grievances, just to return to the modern era, just to see her grandma for the last time!
"My mission before was to help Pei Changying ascend to the throne. General Qin, I had no choice. That was my mission. But it's not the same now."
"Now, I want to make this ancient world better and better. I want the people there to have enough food and clothing, I want women to not be oppressed by the times, and I want to create a prosperous world of peace and freedom."
"So, I once again implore you to lend a helping hand to the princess!"
After saying this, Gu Sang looked at Deputy General Qin with sincere eyes.
Upon learning the truth, Deputy General Qin felt a chill on his back. He shed two lines of hot tears in pain, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he fell to his knees.
This kneeling.
I don’t know whether to kneel to the world, to conscience, or to the former emperor.
"Wrong...I really made the wrong choice!"
"The eldest princess is kindhearted. The late emperor once said that if she were a man, the world would be peaceful. Now I look back, what difference does it make if she is a woman?"
"What rules! What wise ruler! What is a wise ruler? Pei Changying could murder the late emperor for his own power, so why can't a woman become emperor?"
"Anyone who cares about the people, regardless of gender, can become an official or even an emperor!"
"Miss Gu, I am willing to help the princess ascend the throne. I am willing to gamble a future for the people of this world! I will rebel!"
He rebelled!
Deputy General Qin uttered these words with tears on his face.
This moment.
Gu Sang smiled from the heart.
She knew that from now on, Vice General Qin would swear allegiance to the eldest princess until death!
That night.
Gu Sang and Deputy General Qin discussed a plan, which was to cooperate internally and externally to directly defeat the imperial soldiers.
The next day, the sky in the distance was just beginning to turn pale.
Guan Pei brought a large army to surround the Plague City secretly, hoping to take the city by surprise.
But before he reached the foot of Plague City, he was discovered by the defenders of Plague City.
When Guan Pei saw that Zhou Qichen had come out of the city gate to fight again, he immediately led the army to retreat, kept a safe distance from the Plague City, and set up camp directly!
Seeing that Guan Pei was not going to attack the city, nor was he going to escape, Zhou Qichen set up camp on the spot again!
He couldn't help but frown at this scene.
After a moment, Zhou Qichen understood the trainee's intention.
"Haha, General Guan wants to lay siege to the city?!"
The deputy general beside him laughed and said, "General Zhou, they want to use the court's military pay to starve our Plague City to death!"
“Good idea, hahaha!”
"This imperial court is truly interesting. I guess they don't even know our sweet potatoes are ripe!"
Zhou Qichen almost laughed out loud. Now that the sweet potatoes and potatoes are ripe, even if Plague City does not trade with the outside world, it can guarantee Plague City a few months of surplus food.
The management trainee method is good. If we were to move to another city, we would be stuck for a month before we would run out of food!
But Plague City just happened to be Guan Pei's nemesis, causing him to suffer setbacks repeatedly.
After learning that Guan Pei had no offensive intentions, Zhou Qichen reported the matter to the eldest princess.
When the princess learned about this, a calculating smile appeared on her face: "Then let's compete with him!"
"Let's see whether they starve to death first, or my plague city starves to death."
noon.
Guan Pei ordered the army to light a fire and cook on the spot so that the aroma of food could drift into the plague city.
During this period of time, Guan Pei has been studying the situation in the Plague City. He is sure that the princess has raised so many soldiers and must be at the end of her strength!
Not to mention distributing silver, even eating has become a problem!
“Crack—”
Suddenly, the small door at the city gate opened.
After a while, Zhou Qichen led thousands of soldiers out of the city. They set up pots and carried out more than a dozen freshly hunted wild game.
Behind the plague city are deep mountains, and the game was hunted by the soldiers in the mountains.
When the imperial army saw the game, their eyes widened with envy.
Marching and fighting is already very hard, and they basically don't see any meat. They only go up the mountain to hunt wild game when they are occasionally craving it.
The soldiers of Plague City hurriedly washed the game, roasted it, and then coated it with salt and honey under the city wall.
Soon, the sweet smell of meat wafted over from the plague city.
Not only that, they saw Plague City soldiers carrying bags of red stuff, and then they dumped the stuff roughly on the ground! !
