Several people nodded one after another and considered whether to hire a storyteller to spread the word. The storyteller was much more professional than them in making up stories.
The room was quiet for a while, then Hyun asked:
"Is there any movement on Yang Jian's side?"
Bingyin said:
"From the information received, it seems that Yang Jian has no plans to attack us yet."
Hyun rubbed his chin and thought for a while:
"Fu Rui came here today, she must have wanted to get some information from me and give it to Yang Jian. The last formula was in vain, so I have to make up for it, so why not give her some information," he said with a narcissistic look, "I am really a good person."
What a kind man!"
Lai Hou interrupted her narcissism without politeness:
"How do you want to fool Yang Jian?"
Hyun was stunned for a moment by this question. She just had this idea, but she hadn't figured out how to deceive her yet.
He frowned and thought for a long time and shook his head:
"Not ready yet."
Huami said:
"What Yang Jian is most concerned about now is our troop formation. Kunyu State is on the border of Sui State. Lueyang is too far away, so it is difficult to mobilize troops. The Liangzhou side is a bit vast. We don't have enough troops, so it is not suitable to fight there.
, only Longshan, from Qianyang, Longzhou is relatively narrow. Even if the Sui State sent thousands of troops, they would have to be restricted by the terrain into a single column. This is even more true when it comes to Longshan. We are in Longshan
If we have the advantage, as long as the generals don't slack off and don't underestimate the enemy, relying on our superiority in force, we can completely defeat the Sui army."
Ding Wangcai asked:
"What Mr. Hua means is that we give up Qianyang and Longzhou?"
Huami stroked his beard and nodded.
"Although there are certain benefits to occupying Qianyang and Longzhou, our troops are limited. Facing the Sui State's strong attack, if we still want to keep these two places, it will be too laborious. We might as well abandon the two places and retreat to the Longshan border city
, relying on the advantage of the terrain to repel the Sui army and ensure the peace of Kunyu Kingdom."
Hyun nodded:
"Mr. Hua is right. I'm going to discuss it with them. Fu Rui has been bothering Mr. Hua and Sister-in-law Hua in the past few days."
Huami promised:
"No problem, Mr. Zhuo, don't worry. We must all take good care of things that she shouldn't see." After a pause, "What if she wants to go out?"
Hyun smiled and said:
"Just let her out."
Before leaving, Xun paid another visit to Fu Rui, but Fu Rui was sleeping, so Xun left quietly and went into the palace to discuss Huami's proposal with Ning Yan, Ning Feng, Jiang Wu and others.
By the time the sun began to set, what happened in the Black Face Mansion had been spread to everyone. Although the events were exaggerated, the families whose daughters were beaten were still so scared that their legs were weak. In other courtyards,
Although those women came from the brothel, Master Zhuo has clearly stated that they are candidates for the mistress of the Black Face Mansion. Whether they can be selected in the end is another matter, but they are obviously Mr. Zhuo's people.
How dare their daughters look for their bad luck! It's not that they are tired of living, it's that their daughters are tired of living! They hurriedly opened the warehouse and looked for more things that suit Mr. Zhuo's taste.
Everyone in Ning Yan's study ignored the small movements outside, crawled on the map, and carefully discussed how to send this information to Fu Rui.
Fu Rui woke up when her gastrodia was dark. Sister Hua, who was sitting at the table doing needlework, saw her and walked to the bedside:
"Miss, you're awake, but do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
Fu Rui sat up and shook her head, looking at the sky outside:
"Where's Master Zhuo?"
Sister Hua put her clothes in her hand and said:
"Master Zhuo came to see the young lady. Seeing that you were sleeping well, he didn't wake you up. One of Master Zhuo's guards was waiting outside. He seemed to have something to say to the young lady. The young lady packed up and I asked him to come in."
Fu Rui hurriedly got up, and after cleaning up, Mrs. Hua called Lai Houhou in.
After Lai Hou came in, he bowed politely and then waved outside. Two women came in carrying brocade boxes. Lai Hou said:
"Master Zhuo gave this to the young lady. Master Zhuo asked the young lady to rest and recover at home. When Master Zhuo is free, he will come to see the young lady."
After saying that, he bowed and left.
Seeing that Lai Houhou was gone, Mrs. Hua hurriedly called Fu Xiu to come and see her. She opened the brocade box and found two sets of plain clothes without patterns or decorations.
One of the women dragging the brocade box said:
"Because we were in a hurry, we only made clothes. Mr. Zhuo said that you can add whatever patterns and decorations you like."
Fu Rui touched the fabrics of her clothes. They were all the best fabrics that could be bought in the market. They were better than those torn by those women. Fu Rui was a little moved. It would be great to follow Mr. Zhuo, but then she thought again.
He left his family members who were still in the Sui Kingdom.
He sighed secretly and said to the two women:
"You can do whatever Mr. Zhuo likes."
The two women responded, took the brocade box and left again.
The next day, Fu Rui wanted to go for a walk on the street. Hua's wife asked her if she wanted to accompany her. She said no, so Huami and Hua's wife let her leave the house.
Fu Rui wandered aimlessly in the street, thinking about how Master Zhuo protected her yesterday, and thinking about her family in the Sui Kingdom. She suddenly felt like she was being pulled into a side alley next to her, and she was so scared that she wanted to scream,
But her mouth was also blocked by the other party, and Fu Rui was flustered for a moment, wondering if it was those women yesterday who came to take revenge on her.
But I heard a familiar voice coming from my ears:
"It's me, don't be nervous."
Fu Rui followed the sound and saw Kong Zhen's face. Tears immediately fell down and her legs became weak.
Kong Zhen hurriedly hugged her waist:
"What's wrong? Are you seriously injured?"
How frightening she felt about dying just now, Fu Rui was so angry now that she turned around and beat Kong Yan's chest regardless:
"You bastard! I was not killed by those people yesterday, but I will be scared to death by you today! You asked me what happened!"
Kong Zhen smiled and bundled Fu Rui into his arms:
"Looks like you're in good spirits."
Fuu snorted and turned her head away, ignoring him.
Kong Zhen rubbed her hands and said:
"However, Mr. Zhuo is really ruthless. He dares to offend those high-ranking officials because of you."
Fu Rui immediately smelled a pungent smell of vinegar, lowered her head and smiled:
"What? You are allowed to mess around with flowers outside, but I am not allowed to attract bees and butterflies?"
Kong Zhen's expression changed, he pinched Fu Rui's waist and said through gritted teeth:
"you dare?!"
Seeing his change of expression, Fu Rui felt fearful and pushed him away, pretending to be calm and unfolding her clothes:
"If Mr. Zhuo could like me, he wouldn't have accepted me all these years ago. If that were the case, how could those people show off their power in front of me yesterday?"
Kong Yan glanced at her lightly and leaned against the wall behind him with his arms folded:
"Don't forget the purpose of your coming here. If you have any other thoughts, your family in the Sui Kingdom will not be able to survive."
Fu Rui helped Fu Bu Yao:
"This is natural, I don't need you to remind me."
Kong Yan reached out and pinched her chin, pulled her in front of him, and said with a fierce look:
"If you have other thoughts, I will kill you first!"
