Chapter 929 Sisters
"Return to this world!"
Following a mechanical sound from Huoshui, Gu Qingcheng slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing you see is the roof of the tent.
Gu Qingcheng blinked, and her mind went blank for a moment——
Where is this?
You really can't blame her for her slow reaction. It's because she entered two small worlds in succession and spent two lifetimes in different time and space. It's impossible for her to switch so quickly.
However, Gu Qingcheng has a perfect IQ and excellent adaptability.
In just a moment, her memory of this world was instantly awakened.
【When something unexpected happened in Jiankang, Chen Duan led his troops back to "support the king".】
[There are still people from the Northern Dynasty watching the riverside covetously, and we need someone to take charge. ]
[As Chen Duan's fiancée and the future Princess of Liang, I am the best candidate to guard the riverside.]
So, this is Chen Duan’s royal tent by the river.
So, I returned to Jiangnan, which I had left for a long time! Gu Qingcheng sat up slowly and looked around casually.
The king's tent is very large. If converted into area, it is at least fifty or sixty square meters.
Gu Qingcheng was located on the inner side of the king's tent, which was furnished with beds, tables and other items, and could be considered a bedroom.
There is a screen as a partition, and outside is where official business is handled.
Although Gu Qingcheng has not officially married Liang Wang Chen Duan, in this age that values commitment, as long as the marriage contract is established, they will be a legitimate engaged couple.
Moreover, Gu Qingcheng is not just a simple fiancée to Chen Duan, but also the most beneficial business partner.
King Liang's tens of thousands of troops, as well as logistical supplies and other issues, all depended on Gu Qingcheng's support.
In addition, Prince Liang returned to the capital to "serve the king" this time, and there was also a "magic weapon" prepared for him by Gu Qingcheng.
Ordinary soldiers or common people might not know about Gu Qingcheng's various experiences, but King Liang's advisers and deputy generals knew them all very well.
Therefore, when Gu Qingcheng led his troops and arrived in Jiangling after rushing day and night, everyone welcomed her directly into the king's tent.
Gu Qingcheng: ...That's quite sensible. It saves me from having to make the decision on my own.
Huoshui: ...Your Majesty, why do I hear a hint of "regret" in your tone? Although Huoshui is always scolded by Gu Qingcheng as a little idiot, it is really not stupid.
On the contrary, as an artificial intelligence, its IQ has surpassed that of most ordinary people.
Not to mention, Huoshui has been following Gu Qingcheng, a big shot in the government, for several years. Even if he is really mentally retarded, he has been "influenced" by her and has become somewhat scheming.
"Your Majesty, you must have had a plan."
Huoshui may not be able to keep up with Gu Qingcheng's thinking, but it understands His Majesty's way of dealing with people.
This is a politician with a black heart. When he first arrived, he was already prepared to "show off his power".
I guess that before arriving at the river, His Majesty had already thought about how to show his power and demonstrate on the spot what it means to "kill the chicken to scare the monkey."
Unfortunately, those counselors were very sensible and they all obediently paid homage to the "Queen" without Your Majesty having to show any power.
"Female monarch" is a respectful title for the mistress in this era.
The lord is the male ruler, and the mistress is naturally the female ruler.
The confidants, led by Sima Zhou Shao in the army, were all very respectful to Gu Qingcheng.
Even though they were only respectful on the surface and still had doubts in their hearts, everyone performed well and did not give Gu Qingcheng any handle to catch them.
Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Huoshui. What do you mean? What do you mean there is a hint of regret in my tone?
It’s a good thing that Zhou Shao and others are smart and know how to handle current affairs!
Well, okay, Gu Qingcheng admitted that she had indeed made a lot of preparations.
Behind her, in addition to the first group of female soldiers who followed her, there was also the second group of Gu family troops.
She settled down in the royal tent by the river.
If these people don't know how to respect the lady, she will teach them a lesson.
Unfortunately, Zhou Shao and others did not do anything stupid and were very "well-behaved".
Gu Qingcheng’s preparations were not used, so she wasn’t disappointed. At most, she felt a little “regretful”.
"Your Majesty! You are back again!"
Gu Qingcheng was looking around and organizing her thoughts when the trouble from the depths of her sea of consciousness rolled out.
Gu Qingcheng replied with a faint "hmm". This was just nonsense and there was no need to answer it.
"Alas, suddenly seeing this king's tent, and the counselors and soldiers outside, I actually felt as if I were in another world."
The disaster suddenly became literary.
He spoke in a robotic voice, but insisted on saying sentimental words.
Gu Qingcheng's mouth twitched: You are an artificial idiot, how can you be so sentimental.
It seems like a lifetime ago——
"Sanniang, Sima Zhou wants to see you!"
Just as Gu Qingcheng was arguing with Huoshui, a female voice was heard outside the screen.
It's... Ah Man! Strange yet familiar.
The most useful maid by her side, who grew up with her.
However, because she had stayed in the mission world for too long, Gu Qingcheng's impression of maids like A Man was a little vague.
It really feels like a lifetime ago! "...Please come in!"
Gu Qingcheng turned over swiftly, suppressed all her emotions, put on her pointed short boots, and walked quickly out from behind the screen.
Outside the screen is the main hall of the king's tent.
The main seat is in the center, with a mat and a desk.
There is a row of empty seats on each side of the lower part, which should be reserved for counselors and deputy generals who come to discuss matters.
When meeting matters, one only needs to ask someone to bring in a Huchuang and the room will be turned into a meeting place.
However, when there are no meetings on weekdays, this place is empty.
In the middle of the main hall is a large sand table with important locations of Jiangling marked on it.
And also a general idea about both of us.
Gu Qingcheng walked around the main seat and came closer to the sand table.
When it comes to leading troops in battle, Gu Qingcheng is not as talented as a natural general like Chen Duan.
However, Gu Qingcheng is just not as good as a genius, but she doesn’t really know nothing.
It is no exaggeration to say that Gu Qingcheng is also a qualified general.
Be able to read maps and know how to deploy troops.
She also had experience in training special forces for future generations, as well as strategies such as enforcing military discipline and rallying the troops' morale.
In the military field, she is not a top-notch figure, but she is not mediocre either.
She stood in front of the sand table and looked at it for a while, then she roughly understood the current situation between the enemy and us.
The Northern Dynasty's troops launched a strong attack, and the defenders of Jiangling were on the defensive.
This cannot be blamed on the defenders. It was because the commander-in-chief Chen Duan led the army away, leaving only a small amount of defense force on the riverside.
Being able to defend successfully is already very rare.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Could it be that they have to rely on these less than a thousand defenders to fight to the death against the thousands of cavalry on the opposite side?
You are an egg, but you insist on hitting the stone.
This is not bravery, this is stupidity.
When Zhou Shao came in, he saw a stunning beauty looking at the sand table intently.
This picture is a bit strange.
Beauty and sand table, these two things don't go together at all.
But, for some reason, when this beauty is Gu's third wife, things become extremely harmonious.
As if it should be so!
"Shao greets Sanniang!"
Zhou Shao saluted respectfully.
"No need to be polite!"
Gu Qingcheng didn't look back, she continued to look at the sand table intently.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng like this, Zhou Shao didn't feel that he was being looked down upon.
He walked closer to the sand table and stood three steps away from Gu Qingcheng.
"Sanniang, in the past two days, the Northern Dynasty's troops seem to have made some big moves."
Zhou Shao also looked at the sand table and reported softly.
Gu Qingcheng raised the last tone of her voice, "Hmm?"
What was the specific situation? As a scholar employed by Chen Duan, Zhou Shao naturally knew how to listen to what he said.
He picked up a small wooden stick on the sand table, pointed to several locations on it, and reported in detail: "Here! And here, there are troops being mobilized."
After introducing the situation, Zhou Shao pondered, "Sanniang, I am worried that the news of Jiankang may have spread to the other side."
The new emperor Chen Jing was courting death by going to Tangquan Palace to "fish".
But he forgot that under his command were not only the princes who took the bait obediently, but also a fierce great white shark like Chen Duan.
The most amazing thing is that there is not only one Chen Duan in the Xin Dynasty, but also other powerful generals.
Chen Jing set an excellent example, letting all the generals know that as long as they have soldiers and courage, they can become emperor.
Chen Jing can sit on the throne of Jiankang, and so can anyone else.
Therefore, Chen Jing thought he was in a safe position in Tangquan Palace, but in fact he attracted several bloodthirsty sharks.
And several brave generals mobilized their troops and attacked the capital directly, which caused quite a stir.
Over the past 100 years, both the North and the South have placed spies in each other's camps.
As Chen Duan's first adviser, Zhou Shao personally arranged spies for Chen Duan in Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Dynasty.
It’s a pity that many people died in order to save the Gu family.
...Of course, compared with the help that the Gu family provided to Chen Duan, this loss is nothing.
Having said so much, Zhou Shao is just "judging others by his own standards".
His people could "steal" people out of the enemy's capital, and since such a big thing happened in Jiankang, the enemy's spies would definitely be able to find out and pass the news back to the Northern Dynasty as soon as possible.
Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows. Not only that! Bei Chao, oh no, to be exact, it was Yuwen Heng.
His source of information was not just the spies stationed in Jiankang, but also Gu Youyi.
Gu Youyi! Hmm, this person became increasingly vague in Gu Qingcheng's memory.
There is no way. Even in this world, Gu Youyi is just Gu Qingcheng's cousin.
Even in the previous life, when Gu Qingcheng and Gu Youyi both went to Pingcheng, Gu Qingcheng was busy with her career and hardly had time to play with a young noblewoman like Gu Youyi.
To be frank, the two of them are simply not on the same level, or even from the same world.
Gu Qingcheng's focus was on the Northern Dynasty, the Southern Dynasty, and the entire world.
Gu Youyi, on the other hand, values a small home and a backyard more! To Gu Qingcheng, men are tools that can be used.
And Gu Youyi still believes in the love promised by the man.
It’s hard to say how big the gap is, it’s just that the two people’s values are different.
Therefore, whether in the past life or this life, Gu Qingcheng did not pay too much attention to Gu Youyi.
Gu Qingcheng didn't care too much about her cousin's suspected experience of rebirth.
As I said, rebirth is just living one more life, not giving you an extra brain.
[If Gu Youyi is not stupid, she shouldn't reveal her cards too much or too early.]
[Without brain support, the so-called trump card will become a death warrant. ]
[In the eyes of truly smart people, some of Gu Youyi's "self-righteousness" is really exposed! ]
Unfortunately, Gu Youyi is really not smart.
Especially since the entire Gu family fled, leaving only Gu Youyi behind.
In order to show her own value, Gu Youyi would not care about anything——
Considering the intelligence of this cousin, Gu Qingcheng asked in a firm tone: "Did Yuwen Heng personally lead the troops to Jiangling?"
