Jun Ci's words made sense, but Ying Wuchen heard them harshly. He did not delve into the deep meaning behind this disapproval, but said: "I can't serve as your military advisor for long. But since I do
As your military advisor, the person who will succeed me in the future must neither surpass me nor be inferior to me, otherwise the younger sister of the Jun family will also be humiliating me."
"This... can be compared with you, how many people in this world can you have?" Although Jun Ci felt that Ying Wuchen had many shortcomings, he had to admit that he was thoughtful and could turn the clouds and rain with his hands. Huo Qingqu was indeed a brave and resourceful person.
.
It's not that Jun Ci is biased, but Jun Ci feels that Huo Qingqu is definitely not Ying Wuchen's opponent.
At least Ying Wuchen cannot suffer a loss in her hands. It has nothing to do with Ying Wuchen's identity and power, only his ability.
"It turns out... in the eyes of the Jun family's sister, I am actually the only one in the world." Obviously, this sentence pleased Ying Wuchen, his expression softened, and a little smile appeared on his lips.
She didn't say this, but if he interpreted it this way, she couldn't refute it, so she simply remained silent.
She did not refute, which greatly dissipated the depression in Ying Wuchen's heart: "Since he has little knowledge, why should he take on the role of advising the entire army? If the general is not in the army, the military advisor will have to shoulder the entire army. The responsibilities are so heavy that he cannot
Reckless."
Seeing Jun Ci raise his eyebrows with a look of disapproval, Ying Wuchen changed his subject: "Although he is not qualified to be a military advisor, if you really appreciate him, you can be a staff member."
Ying Wuchen asked her to look for a military advisor according to him, so as not to insult him. Jun Ci felt that she might not be able to find a military advisor in this life, so she would just have staff. After all, she is the one who needs help now: "The Ying family,
What my brother said is absolutely true. I have not thought carefully and I must reflect on myself and correct my mistakes. Since brother Ying is willing to correct me, why don’t you lend me a helping hand and tell me the origin of Huo Qingqu?”
It was rare for her to have such a low-brow look and be so kind and so angry. Even though Ying Wuchen knew that she was willing to give in to what she wanted, he felt happy in his heart: "Zi Yi."
Zi hurriedly handed the prepared letter to Jun Ci.
Jun Ci jumped up, pulled it over, and couldn't wait to unfold it.
While she was watching, Ying Wuchen spoke: "Although the Huo family in Jincheng is not a century-old noble family, they are still powerful in the local area and have great reputation..."
Huo Qingqu's reputation was in a prominent family, not as deep-rooted as the Ying family, but it still had decades of accumulation. When the former Queen Mother made the people miserable, a rebel army in Jincheng came menacingly. The local tycoons, led by the Huo family, led the clan
Zhongqu suppressed it and was finally defeated.
Huo Qingqu's father immediately fled to the capital to ask for help. At that time, Zhou Rong had just taken control of the government and was about to compete with Gao Xun to see who could become a powerful official with one person and ten thousand people. In response to Huo Qingqu's request for help, Zhou Rong
He sent his most trusted cousin Zhou Guang there.
Zhou Guang led the troops to quell the rebellion, and the Huo family tried their best to help. In order to facilitate the imperial army to end the war earlier, Huo Qingqu's biological father did not hesitate to take risks, exposed the Huo family's wealth, and attracted the heart of the rebel leader, thereby luring the rebel leader out.
Got to the city.
Only then did Zhou Guang's army quickly put down the war without any effort, the city changed hands, and Huo Qingqu's father died under the sword of the rebel leader.
Although the Huo family was grieving, they thought that dawn was coming. However, that night, all the Huo family members were killed and their wealth was looted. The reason given by Zhou Guang was that there were still remnants of the rebels in the city, and this was retaliation for the remnants of the rebels.
.
Immediately, Zhou Guang appeased the people of Jincheng and provided food and porridge. The Cai family, who had once been subordinate to the Huo family, generously donated money. Zhou Guang also killed the remaining ones and hung their heads on the tower. The people of Jincheng only sighed for the Huo family.
Jun Ci couldn't help but sigh after reading it. She was not a politician, but she was full of calculations. She probably knew that the demise of the Huo family was not due to remnants, but because they exposed their wealth.
This amount of wealth is enough to make people jealous, and the Cai family in Jincheng has always been inferior and has a lot of money. If the Cai family is determined to replace her, she can still bear the pain and give up a large amount of wealth to Zhou Guang, even if Zhou Guang doesn't.
Tempted by Huo's wealth.
With Cai's show of kindness and comparing with Huo's stinginess, he was willing to change Jincheng.
On the other hand, the Huo family is so vigorously fighting for the people of Jincheng. The already prestigious Huo family is afraid that it will gain more support from the people, which will not be conducive to the Zhou family's control of Jincheng.
Jincheng is an important place, and there is an extremely large military town in Guanlong. Otherwise, Zhou Rong would not send his most trusted person to calm down this turmoil while competing with Gao Xun.
"No wonder." Jun Ci sighed softly, "No wonder he hates the imperial court so much and would rather die than do anything for the imperial court."
In the past, the Huo family, even under the torture of the former Empress Dowager, still chose to trust the court, and chose to be loyal to the emperor when the rebels were rioting.
The soldiers led by Zhou Guang were all elite men. If they faced the rebels head-on, they might not win. However, in order for the people to avoid displacement and the suffering of the country and family, Huo single-handedly minimized the damage.
.
What he got in exchange was such a bloody house!
"Aci, do you know the pain of having your whole family wiped out and leaving only one person alive?" Ying Wuchen suddenly spoke.
He did not look at Jun Ci, his eyelids were slightly drooped, and his dark eyes were looking at one place quietly. There was no light or wave in his eyes, like a pool of stagnant water: "When I dreamed back at midnight, I saw the remains of severed limbs of my close relatives; in the stillness of the night,
It is the shrill cry for help from a blood relative. It becomes a shadow, following the person who lives alone all the time, not allowing him to stand in the light.
Whenever this person encounters a ray of afterglow, his shadow will appear, reminding him of the blood feud.
Tell him that he only deserves to live in a dark place, remembering the deep pain.
This pain is like maggots in the tarsus, and even if you scrape the bone to heal the wound, you can't get rid of it."
His voice was calm and his expression was indifferent, as if he was talking about someone else's business, but the words sounded heavy and fell on Jun Ci's heart, making her, who had always been heartless, feel an inexplicable dull discomfort.
"you……"
"His hatred is so great. If you want to win over him, even the Master of the Cai family will be hard to impress." Jun Ci was about to speak, but Ying Wuchen turned to look at Jun Ci, with a faint smile on his lips, still the same.
He calmly analyzed and came up with ideas for her.
It seemed that he was talking about Huo Qingqu from beginning to end, and her empathy at that moment was an illusion.
Jun Ci's eyes narrowed slightly, and after looking at Ying Wuchen for a moment, he finally did not ask out the doubts in his heart: "I want Zhou Guang's head."
"Yes, Zhou Guang's head." As long as Jun Ci can appear in front of Huo Qingqu with Zhou Guang's head, Huo Qingqu will definitely follow her to death for the rest of his life.
But Zhou Guang was different from Zhou Ye. Zhou Ye was a scholar, while Zhou Guang was a general with excellent martial arts skills and controlled the entire military power of Guanlong.
