Chapter 7 New Business and Old Talk



Not going to Damingfu?

Miss Jun was slightly startled, then she understood.

When talking to the shopkeeper that day, he did not avoid Mrs. Yu. Although Mrs. Yu did not ask any further questions, she should have known that something went wrong in the war.

For example, 100,000 Jin soldiers, or ceding a state capital.

If 100,000 Jin soldiers attack the south, the north will fall into even greater war and chaos, and Daming Prefecture will not be spared.

As a result of the peace talks, the prefecture was ceded, and Daming Prefecture was no longer a safe rear area, but became a border very close to the Jin army.

If you want to take refuge in Damingfu, there is no need to do so. Let's go to another place.

"It will cost extra to change places," said Miss Jun.

Mrs. Yu smiled.

"Of course, the price will be renegotiated," she said, sitting down.

Miss Jun also sat down again and waited for her to speak.

"The court is going to negotiate peace, right?" Madam Yu suddenly said.

Miss Jun nodded.

"That's exactly what happened." Madam Yu said, "Then there's no point in me going to Daming Prefecture."

Miss Jun nodded again.

"Madam, you'd better leave Hebei West Road. It's better to go to Jingcheng West Road," she said.

"Miss Jun, I didn't go to Daming Prefecture to seek refuge," said Madam Yu. "I went to see someone."

Only then did Miss Jun look at her.

Meet someone, visit relatives and friends?

"The imperial court is going to cede Baozhou, Xiongzhou and Bazhou, right?" Mrs. Yu changed the subject and asked.

Miss Jun frowned slightly and answered yes again.

"There are quite a few people in the three counties," said Madam Yu. "Are they all going to be given to the Jin people? From now on, we are no longer Han people. This is really a bolt from the blue."

She was simply too ashamed to face her ancestors. Miss Jun let out a sigh. Even though she was no longer Chu Jiuling, she still felt her face burning.

"Don't worry, Madam. Peace talks may not succeed." She didn't want to continue the topic. "Besides, I believe Chengguo Guild will find a way."

Mrs. Yu smiled.

"What can he do but to hold on," she said.

What does "stubbornly resist" mean? Not to mention the casual tone in which the woman spoke of Duke Cheng, she felt very uncomfortable when the word "die" was used to describe Duke Cheng.

"Mrs. Yu, where do you want to go?" Miss Jun said.

Mrs. Yu hesitated for a moment and said nothing.

"Miss Jun, who are you?" she suddenly asked.

Miss Jun stood up.

"Mrs. Yu, what exactly do you want to say?" she asked directly.

Madam Yu raised her hand towards her.

"Don't be impatient, Miss Jun." She said, "I just didn't know how to say it, so it was a bit confusing."

This woman has always been calm and composed. Whether it is the peace talks and ceding of counties or the important affairs of the court, in fact, it has little to do with this woman, Miss Jun sighed.

"Don't be impatient, Madam. If you have anything to say, just say it directly." She said, "We are all straightforward people. If I can do it, I will agree to it. If I can't do it, I won't delay Madam."

Mrs. Yu nodded.

"Okay." She said, "Then I would like to ask Miss Jun to bring your people with you and follow me north to protect the people of the three counties across the river."

What?

The lady spoke so straightforwardly that Miss Jun felt she could not understand a bit.

What does it mean?

Why did you go north to protect the people of the three counties and cross Hejian?

Mrs. Yu looked at the girl's dazed look and smiled.

"I just said this matter is a bit too confusing." She said, and stopped laughing. "We have known for a long time that the Jin people want to negotiate peace with the court. The court does not know this. We who have been dealing with the Jin people for many years know very well that the Jin people are treacherous and cannot be trusted, and peace cannot be relied upon."

we?

Had you known earlier?

Dealing with the Jin people for many years?

Miss Jun looked at Mrs. Yu with more and more surprise.

"So I decided to go to Daming Mansion to meet Qinghe Bo, hoping to stop it." Madam Yu continued, "Miss Jun, you should know Qinghe Bo, right?"

Being able to know about the court's peace talks first and get the most detailed information, with such connections, he must be well-informed.

Miss Jun certainly knows Qinghebo.

Duke Cheng was awarded the title for his military merits, and Earl Qinghe Zoujiang was also awarded the title for his military merits. Compared with Duke Cheng, Earl Qinghe has more seniority and traveled across the southern region to suppress bandits. He is also very famous and is known as the North Mountain and South River, guarding the stability of the Great Zhou.

When the Jin army crossed the border, the Earl of Qinghe was of course immediately summoned to lead the army to guard the Jingdong West Road as the Jiedushi of Jingxi.

Perhaps it was because of his age, but my father didn't seem to have as close a relationship with the Earl of Qinghe as he did with the Duke of Chengguo, so Miss Jun never met him when she was a child.

However, I heard from Lu Yunqi that this Qinghe Bo was arrogant and very greedy.

Madam Yu could actually meet the Earl of Qinghe. It was obvious that she was of an extraordinary status. She was so extraordinary.

"I've said before that Duke Cheng has no other options but to hold out." Madam Yu said, "We are not afraid of the Jin people. We can control the war no matter how volatile it is. It's just that our own people are the most difficult to control, especially this time. Many of the generals in the north have been replaced, and the supply of soldiers and food is restricted everywhere."

Is this really the case? Miss Jun looked at Madam Yu.

But how did she know?

Could she be a relative of a Northern general?

"It's not surprising that some people in the court advocate peace talks. From the several times when the troops stationed in the rear retreated without orders and disobeyed orders, to the fall of Kaide Prefecture, we can know that all this means that some people don't want to fight anymore." Mrs. Yu said.

This time Miss Jun no longer listened in silence, but stood up.

"You mean, there's collaborating?" she asked.

Mrs. Yu smiled.

"It's not collusion, but I just have different thoughts about the Jin people." She said, "It's normal for people to have different thoughts. To resolve these different thoughts, we must win decisively and suppress them strongly, and not give them the opportunity to grow and spread. So I'm going to see Qinghebo, I want to convince him and stabilize the stability of the rear."

Convince, who can convince Qinghebo?

Miss Jun looked at Mrs. Yu.

familiar……

That familiar feeling, could it be...

Miss Jun suddenly felt a tingling sensation from the soles of her feet all the way to the top of her head.

No way.

Mrs. Yu didn't think much about her expression.

She knew very well how amazing what she said was, so she tried to keep it simple so that the girl could understand.

The most important thing is to make the girl understand what you need her to do.

"But it is no longer necessary. Your Majesty has been convinced." She continued, "It is impossible for Qinghebo to be convinced by me. The cession of the three counties is unstoppable, and Chengguogong's temper will make the situation worse."

As she spoke, she put her hand on her forehead, a hint of fatigue appearing in her eyes.

"I can't help with anything else, and I can't do anything. The only thing I'm worried about now is the tens of thousands of people in the three counties. Once the peace talks are reached, the troops stationed in the north will have to withdraw. It's easy to withdraw the troops, but it's difficult for the people to do so."

She raised her head, her tiredness disappeared, and her expression became solemn and determined.

"I can abandon my land, but I cannot abandon my people. The Great Zhou doesn't want them. As long as they want the Great Zhou, I will protect them and take them with me." She looked at Miss Jun. "So, I want to ask Miss Jun to help me escort these tens of thousands of people across Hejian safely. How much do you want for this?"

Miss Jun looked at her.

"Who are you?" she asked, moving her lips.

She has already said her last name is Yu and her given name is Lan.

Then the question "Who are you?" is obviously not about your name, but your wealth.

Mrs. Yu looked at her and smiled.

"I am the wife of Chengguo," she said, "and my husband is Zhu Shan, the Duke of Chengguo."
