Liu Bai looked at Song Yushu in disbelief, "Do you know that this statement cannot be lied to?"
Could it be that Song Yushu is still thinking about pleasing Lu Zhixing at this time?
Lu Zhixing also looked surprised.
Song Yushu knelt before Lu Zhixing, saluted solemnly, and said, "Your Highness, I am also from the Dayan Dynasty, and I do not wish to see the people of the borderland displaced. The Crown Prince's faction and the Lin family's faction are only concerned with factional strife, and have never cared about the survival of the people. I sincerely want to help Your Highness defend the border and let the people of the borderland live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible."
The study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The candlelight flickered, and Lu Zhixing frowned slightly. "Do you understand the risks involved?"
"I know."
"Do you know that if I suppress the border, everything you have done before will be in vain?"
"I know."
"You're still willing to do it even though you know it?"
"I am willing to do this for two reasons. One is because Your Highness wants to do it, and the other is because I pity the civilians on the border. In the midst of the war, they are the only ones who suffer. I hope Your Highness can help them find a way out of displacement as soon as possible." Song Yushu kowtowed heavily, "Please trust me, Your Highness."
There is another very important reason that Song Yushu did not mention.
When she was young, her godfather told her that his family had fled from the border because of the war. Everyone in the family died, and he was the only one who was lucky enough to survive.
Therefore, Godfather admires Lu Zhixing very much. Without him, there would be no peace on the border in recent years.
"How sure are you?" Lu Zhixing rubbed his ring. He heard Song Yushu's steady heartbeat and thought that she did have great kindness towards civilians, so his expression relaxed.
"Five points." Song Yushu never lied to Lu Zhixing except for one thing.
When Liu Bai heard the five-point number, he became anxious. "Eunuch Song, what are you talking about in your sleep? Do you know how dangerous this matter is? Your five-point certainty will ruin the prince's entire plan!"
"That's also my overall plan! How could I not know it?!" Song Yushu refuted Liu Bai in front of Lu Zhixing for the first time.
After such a long time, Liu Bai was still so impatient. Song Yushu frowned tightly, and stared at him with his dark eyes without blinking.
When Liu Bai was looked at like this by Song Yushu, his heart tightened. He knew that he had been defeated by Song Yushu again, and he felt very upset.
He knew that he was impatient and had been trying to change himself silently, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't change.
"Then do it." Lu Zhixing helped Song Yushu up with one hand, "Be careful."
Song Yushu nodded seriously and hurriedly left the palace with Twelve.
The cold night wind blew through the candles, extinguishing most of the light in the room. Lu Zhixing's face flickered in the dim light, as if the little devil fighting on the battlefield had returned.
"Liu Bai, have the former Eagle Division members break up into smaller units and head to the northern border."
"Your Majesty, do you really believe that Song Yushu can do it?"
Lu Zhixing nodded slowly, "I believe it."
That night, Twelve took Song Yushu across most of the capital, secretly met with the leaders of various major forces, and arranged various matters.
Only Liu Xia, who had followed Song Yushu the longest, guessed what she was planning and strongly disapproved. "Master, if you do this, all your spheres of influence will be scrutinized and suspected. Wouldn't that make all your long-term plans go to waste?"
When Twelve heard Liu Xia say this, her expression changed drastically. She grabbed Liu Xia by the collar and lifted him into the air, "Do you know what you are talking about?!"
"Of course I know!" Liu Xia was not afraid at all. He was also very angry. "You were born in the royal palace, how could you understand the struggles of us low-level people? How could you know how much effort the master put into planning all this! The people on the border are lives, and our lives are lives too! "
The situation in Kyoto is complicated, and people can lose their lives if they are not careful. The person at greatest risk is Song Yushu, but no one has thought about whether she will have any safety problems!
Liu Xia doesn't care about his own life, but he cares about Song Yushu's life!
Twelve looked at Liu Xia for a long time, then slowly put down his hand. She didn't know that Liu Xia was so loyal to Song Yushu.
Song Yushu rubbed his temples and said, "Alright, stop arguing. Everyone's life is equally important. Now that something like this has happened, there's no way I'm going to stay out of it."
"Master!" Liu Xia's face turned pale as he knelt before Song Yushu. "We can take it step by step. If we try to send the prince to the border within five days, your situation will be dire!"
"I know." Song Yushu nodded and looked at Liu Xia. She reached out and patted his head, smiling slightly. "But I don't think I will die."
Yes, he won’t die, but what about the others?
Liu Xia wanted to speak but was stopped by Song Yushu. She looked out the window at the scenery. The sun had not yet risen, and Kyoto in the dark night seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black fog, and she could not see anything.
"You don't believe me either?"
Having said this, Liu Xia knew that he could not persuade Song Yushu anymore. His eyes were slightly red, and he didn't care about etiquette and held Song Yushu's hand tightly.
He had been following Song Yushu for so long and truly respected him. "Please save your life."
Although the prince always looks gentle, as Song Yushu's biggest intelligence chief, he knows that the prince is extremely cruel, suspicious and ungrateful. If Song Yushu reveals his true colors in front of him, he will never end up well.
After convincing Liu Xia, Twelve sent Song Yushu back to the Crown Prince's Mansion. As she turned to leave, she softly asked Song Yushu, "Why did you help the prince go to the Northern Territory at all costs?"
"Because I only believe in the prince."
"But his eyes are not well yet."
"That's actually just a matter of stopping the prince from winning the throne, not a matter of stopping the prince from going into battle and killing the enemy." Song Yushu knew that Lu Zhixing's martial arts skills were very high. Even after he became blind, he could walk and recognize objects better than ordinary people.
Twelve was silent for a long time, then left with one sentence, "Then I believe you too."
On the second day, news suddenly came from Kyoto that the northern border had been lost and a large number of Yan troops had arrived in the northern border with the intention of occupying the twelve states in the northern border.
The news was so strange that even the emperor in the deep palace knew about it within half a day. He urgently summoned the crown prince and Prince Yu into the palace.
"Do you two know that this matter has caused panic among the people in Kyoto?" The emperor was furious, not knowing how such news could have been spread.
After all, he had never received any news of the fall of the northern border.
The border was lost, but he didn't even receive the news. Whose fault could this be?
Lu Yanzhou and Lu Zhichen looked at each other. They had just learned about this matter when the emperor summoned them to the palace and were completely unprepared.
"Your Majesty, I have already summoned the Minister of War before coming to the palace, but he hasn't received any news either." Lu Yanzhou frowned slightly. "This must have been spread by someone with ulterior motives, intending to disrupt the court."
"Whether this is a rumor or not, you two must thoroughly investigate it for me! Regardless of the outcome, I must ensure the safety of our borders!"
