The reason why the Northern Qi was able to gather a large number of soldiers in a very short time was that the Northern Qi emperor spared no one, from eleven or twelve-year-olds to six-year-old men, as long as they were healthy and free from illness or disaster.
In the Northern Qi Dynasty, as far as the eye can see, there are only the elderly, women, and children.
There wasn't a single young, able-bodied man among them.
The Northern Qi dynasty was ambitious and had been waiting all these years to unify the world.
Although it is said that the quality of soldiers is more important than their quantity, defeat in battle means the fall of the nation. As the ruler of a country, He Lin was not entirely confident and was filled with anxiety.
Gu Qian: "Are you that sure?" He also felt that war was about to break out.
Today, he realized that Qin Feng's actions were too significant, and certainly not just in Shangjin.
He Lin: "My intuition is always right. The frontier can't do without you." He can't sleep soundly as long as Gu Qian is here.
In recent days, he has been suffering from insomnia and restless.
Gu Qian: "I will leave tomorrow, ready to fight at any time."
He cannot allow the Northern Qi to take advantage of the situation due to a moment of carelessness.
"Mm." He Lin nodded, looking into Gu Qian's firm eyes, his panic vanished and was replaced by a warm feeling.
In critical moments, Gu Qian was the only one he could rely on.
Gu Qian is his strong support.
His foundation is unstable, and he cannot trust others.
He leaned closer to Gu Qian and patted him on the back of the shoulder.
"We have to leave tomorrow, so get some rest tonight."
Gu Qian nodded and turned to leave.
He Lin silently watched Gu Qian's retreating figure.
That broad back view.
Gradually, the two figures overlapped.
He Lin's eyes were a little glazed over. "Zhan Yue, tell me, is he doing well now?"
Zhan Yue shook his head, "This subordinate is ignorant and does not know who Your Majesty is referring to."
He Lin: "General Li."
Zhan Yue: "It probably...won't be good." It's a remote mountain village; how could it be good?
He Lin: "If Shu'er knew that her parents were not doing well, how sad she would be."
...
This time, at the General's Mansion, it was Qiu Yan who blamed herself.
She felt that everything that happened today was due to a single wrong decision she made.
She shouldn't have brought Bailu to Shangjin City.
Looking at Bai Lu, who was standing ramrod straight in the courtyard as if nothing had happened, she felt a surge of anger.
"Was it you who ordered the assassination attempt on Qi Heng?" Qiu Yan was certain it was her.
"It's me." Bai Lu didn't deny it, and after saying that, she added:
“I killed her sister, he won’t let me get away with this.”
"So, you're going to strike first?" Qiu Yan stared coldly at Bai Lu, making her look away.
This woman moves too fast.
This happened only a few days after I arrived in Shangjin.
Gu Qian is right, Bai Lu is a ruse.
She was even willing to risk her own life.
He used himself to gain her pity and lower her guard.
No, Qiu Yan shook her head, denying her own guess.
Because there is absolutely no need for White Dew.
That day, if she wanted to leave him, she would have had plenty of opportunities.
If Bailu intervenes again, things will become unmanageable.
Should we keep this woman or not?
Qiu Yan was caught in a deep dilemma.
After all, ever since Bai Lu followed her, she has never thought of hurting herself.
On the contrary, she was protecting herself at all times.
She got up and went back to her room to pack her things, preparing to leave.
She didn't want to stay in Kamitsu for even a second longer.
Behind him, Gu Qian, along with Ling Qi and Ling Ba, entered Qiu Yan's courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, Gu Qian coldly glared at Bai Lu and ordered Ling Qi and the other man, "Drag them out and kill them!"
