Chapter 419 Guarding the Capital
Shangguan Jin wondered how she could say something to make herself feel better.
After a while, she took Shen Qingyue's hand and said, "Sister Yue, I understand what you're thinking."
Who says women are inferior to men? You've always done a great job.
"On horseback you fight enemies and pacify the world, on foot you manage accounts and govern the household; you do both very well."
Shen Qingyue and her sister, Hua Wanli, all looked at Shangguan Jin.
They knew there was more to come.
“However, you must consider the bigger picture and put yourselves in the most suitable position,” Shangguan Jin suddenly said.
Shen Qingyue, Shen Qingyu, and Hua Wanli were all stunned for a moment.
Haven't they always placed themselves in the most suitable position?
Could it be that it was put in the wrong place?
Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Shangguan Jin carefully considered what she wanted to say.
We can't let them all go.
If it's okay to go to all of them, then I must bring myself along too.
But that's obviously impossible; people need to stay in the capital, so she definitely can't leave.
Therefore, she tried to keep Shen Qingyue with her.
This girl isn't good at horsemanship, she's not as good as Shen Qingyu, it's better for her to stay in the capital.
"Sister Yao, you've done a great job over the past few years."
Indeed, in the North, timely feedback of information is extremely important.
However, there should be dedicated scouts in the Weiyuan Army doing these things.
Therefore, there's not much point in you staying there.
To be precise, staying in the north is not as useful as staying in the capital.
The great war in the North is about to begin, and this busy period requires attention to more than just the North.
To the south and west, there are also many small foreign countries.
This is when they are most likely to become restless.
You must remain in the capital and promptly inform the heads of the Six Ministries of these messages.
If there are any unusual developments in these places, even if the official road is used by an express courier, it won't be as fast as your Spring Festival News Channel.
Therefore, you must stay in the capital and help His Majesty keep an eye on any unusual movements in other parts of Dayu.
"You will guard the capital as His Majesty's eyes and ears, so that His Majesty can rest assured when he personally leads the expedition," Shangguan Jin said solemnly.
Shen Qingyue's expression gradually became serious.
Yes, with war breaking out in the north, those restless people in other parts of Dayu will definitely take action.
Since His Majesty is far away in the north, he has no choice but to stay in the capital so that he can keep abreast of events across the country.
“Mother, I understand. I won’t go to the North.”
Staying in the capital is the most advantageous course of action. Shen Qingyue immediately understood.
Shangguan Jin patted Shen Qingyue's hand with satisfaction.
Great, one is left.
She turned her head and looked at Hua Wanli again.
A woman of the martial arts world, chivalrous and righteous, with a righteous spirit and a light that always shines in her eyes.
Although she often struggles with whether or not to sleep with someone, overall, she is a standout among women...
"Wanli..." Shangguan Jin had just begun to speak.
“Madam Shen, I am quite skilled in martial arts. I can not only protect people, but also kill enemies. I am suited for the battlefield,” Hua Wanli said first.
Shangguan Jin nodded, then took Hua Wanli's hand and began again.
"Miss Wanli's martial arts skills are superb, and she is indeed the best choice to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."
"But, Miss Wanli, there are many people in the capital who need your protection!" Shangguan Jin continued earnestly.
Huawanli......
The capital city?
The capital city isn't a battlefield, so why would I need to protect it?
Also, isn't there the Five City Garrison Commands in the capital?
"Wanli, you are a person of the martial arts world, and there are many things you don't understand."
The war started in the north, but it was a war fought across the entire Dayu region.
Perhaps they prepared for this battle many years ago?
As you know, many of us have infiltrated the capital of the Northern Hu.
Similarly, there must be quite a few people from the Northern Hu who will be lurking in our capital.
On the surface, they are no different from the people of Da Yu.
But deep down they were Northern Hu people. They lay in wait, hoping to find the perfect opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the capital of Dayu.
Think about it, if the Northern Hu were to be defeated, wouldn't those people hate the Dayu people intensely?
In particular, wouldn't the families of those who had soldiers on the battlefield become thorns in the side of those Northern Hu spies?
While the soldiers fought bravely at the front, their wives, children, and elderly parents in the capital were assassinated by spies.
"You mean... this is disheartening for the soldiers?" Shangguan Jin said solemnly.
Hua Wanli suddenly realized what was going on.
Yes, those Northern Hu spies, upon learning of the Northern Hu's defeat, will surely vent their anger on the families of the soldiers in the capital...
Thinking of the old lady, Madam Shen, and that young mistress who will remain in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion in the future...
And then there are the elderly, the weak, and the young in the Changsheng Duke's mansion...
These people will all be targets of those undercover agents.
“Madam Shen, I’m not going. I’ll stay in the capital and protect everyone,” Hua Wanli said solemnly.
Shangguan Jin patted Hua Wanli's hand with satisfaction.
Not bad, another one has been fooled...
She finally looked at Shen Qingyu.
Shen Qingyu, however, did not give Shangguan Jin that opportunity.
"Mother, I'm leaving soon. I'd like to spend more time talking with Grandmother and with my little niece during this time."
After saying that, Shen Qingyue slipped away.
Shangguan Jin...
Why is this child running so fast?
I was thinking of telling them that since the other two weren't going, they should kill as many enemies as possible on the battlefield to entertain everyone!
Why......
All that effort was wasted!
