Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Verse 81 Unyielding

The engagement ceremony was presided over by Tu Mingda of Anlong Company in Beijing. He is another brother of His Majesty the Emperor. Although he is not young, he is elegant and elegant. The collation of archives has never been involved in government affairs, but it is highly respected by ministers.

As soon as the engagement ceremony was over, Ji Jun, the Deputy Minister of Administration of the Empire in Beijing, announced His Majesty's second imperial decree, ordering Li Wufeng to return to the northwest as soon as possible, to stabilize the situation in the northwest, and to repel the Kaman people's attack on Taixuanfu and Taixuanfu. During the invasion of Jiayuguan, Princess Situ Yutang, the seventeenth princess, inspected the military and political situation in Northwest and Northern Lusong on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor. Wufeng and Situ Yutang, an unmarried couple, knelt down and thanked the decree.

Lying comfortably on the easy chair in the study alone, letting the lingering aroma of coffee linger in his tongue, Wu Feng slightly squinted his eyes and sorted out his thoughts.

I was finally able to go back to the northwest, but I didn't seem very happy. What was the reason? Is it nostalgia for the luxurious and dissolute life in the imperial capital? Do not. Is that worried about the situation in the Northwest? Not entirely, even if Xiao Tang and the others didn't report to him in advance, he knew that no one could replace the loyalty and obedience of the Gaoyue people to him. As for the crisis in Taixuan Mansion, the Kaman people really made up their minds. Moreover, the use of such a large-scale army must have been conspired long ago. Even if I rush back now, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn things around. I am just trying to avoid greater losses, but it also creates a good excuse for myself to return to the northwest.

Then what are you worried about? Wufeng sorted out the thoughts in his mind one by one, and analyzed the crux of the current situation that was unfavorable to him. The power of the Taiping Sect in the two northern counties has been deeply rooted, and it has also developed rapidly in the western counties of Kansai and Heshuo, especially in Kansai County. However, in the west, the imperial garrison is extremely weak. Come, I'm afraid it will spread into an uncontrollable fire.

So is this good or bad for my own development? Wufeng finally found the reason that affected his mood. Since Gu Dengyun led his people to Kansai in February, the intelligence system in the Kansai area was quickly established with the efforts of several people, and Gu Dengyun's ability has been fully demonstrated. Although the intelligence organization is not yet complete, but in Many aspects, especially intelligence gathering on the Taiping Sect, have begun to play an important role.

The Taiping Sect with Hanzhong Prefecture as the development center has obviously strengthened its military preparations, and the prices of military-related materials in the entire Kansai County continue to rise, especially in ironware (weapons), leather (armor), horses (war horses) ), food (military food reserves) and other aspects are more obvious, and it has also caused the prices of these materials to rise in several nearby counties. Notice.

According to information from Longdong and Hanzhong prefectures, the Taiping Sect has trained a considerable number of horse infantry troops in these two places, while Xikang has focused on the development of cavalry troops, and the number of infantry troops in Jincheng and Bashan prefectures is also increasing rapidly , and according to accurate intelligence reports, there are professional military instructors among them for training, which especially worries Wufeng. Only in Lujiang, the development is not smooth. The local government has adopted a strict Baojia Lianzao system, and has taken severe measures against civil society organizations that have not reported to the local government, which has greatly inhibited the development of all civil society organizations. Consciously adopting various methods against Taiping Sect has a greater impact on Taiping Sect, so the development of Taiping Sect in Lujiang Mansion is not smooth, but it has achieved certain results.

In just a few months, the intelligence system in the Kansai region has achieved such results, which makes Wufeng very pleased, but the information reflected makes Wufeng both happy and worried. The growing power of the Taiping Sect in the Kansai region is very likely to trigger a major rebellion in the near future, and the northern counties of Beiyuan and Yanyun, as well as the neighboring Heshuo County, will inevitably be involved. This is an excellent excuse to advance eastward, but the crisis hidden behind it is even greater.

First of all, the Taiping Sect organization is far from being comparable to the scattered peasant uprising army that I dealt with in the past few years. At present, the military power of the Taiping Sect is expanding rapidly, and there must be help from external forces. The purpose of these external forces is not only to help the Taiping Sect, they must get rewards, so once the rebellion breaks out, these forces are bound to surface , directly joined the action against the empire, Wufeng can be sure that the Kaman people must have a foot in here, as for which other countries, Wufeng dare not say.

What troubles Wufeng the most is that the empire's army in the western military region is already quite weak. Once the rebellion breaks out, Wufeng doubts whether it will be able to cope with this severe test. They may all pounce viciously, it is really hard to say whether the empire can survive this catastrophe.

But now my strength may be more than enough to protect myself, but it is obviously not enough to deal with the attacks of several forces, but once these jackal-like enemies knock down the empire, can I survive under the claws of wolves? , he himself did not have much confidence. A map of the geographical situation in the north of the empire flashed in my mind. What role will the Kamans, Sisrows, and Pooles play in the future changes?

The biggest variable here is how powerful the Taiping Sect is, and can it defeat the empire's power in the north and west in one fell swoop? Will they be able to stand up in the face of the double attack of the wolf-like Kamans in the north and the empire? This point is not only very important to the empire, but also has a decisive impact on Wufeng's future actions.

Thinking about this series of questions made Wufeng dizzy, and finally Wufeng had no choice but to give up thinking. After all, there are still many things that have not happened yet. It is indeed too difficult for me to calculate the next steps so early. The car has its own way to the front of the mountain, and the boat to the bridge is naturally straight. In the end, Wufeng can only use these two old sayings to comfort himself.

Just when Wufeng couldn't fall asleep worrying about future development, the other protagonist in today's engagement ceremony was a few blocks away, his heart was surging, he was tossing and turning, his father's old figure, his eyes full of melancholy, and his ambiguous words , and the serious and hopeful attitude of the Minister of Military Affairs made the slightly younger her feel pressured.

She doesn't regret that she agrees with her father's proposal to marry Li Wufeng. After all, Li Wufeng has become a legendary figure in the empire, whether he is an ambitious man with ulterior motives or a nation that defends the honor of the empire. A hero, at least he is not a simple and mediocre character. He would rather be a hero concubine than an ordinary woman. This is Situ Yutang's assertion for his own view of marriage.

What's more, I am engaged to Li Wufeng as a big wife, no matter how many women Li Wufeng has in the future, at least her status will not change. In addition, her father's entrustment and the expectations of important ministers fell on her. Behind the feeling of a little pride, it also made her feel the complexity of her special identity and position.

Some families are happy and some are sad, the dark sky is just like her mood. Although it is midsummer, Situ Yuzhen can still feel the coldness emanating from the depths of her heart. At this moment, she felt that he had never hated someone so much, hated that sister who had the same father as her and was only one month older than her. Originally, my hope was shattered because of her, and I lost a chance to change my destiny so close at hand.

When the news that her father might bestow a marriage was spreading in the capital, she was already making preparations in secret. The thirteenth sister has her own marriage, and has made it clear that she hates Li Wufeng and will never marry him, but the seventeenth sister is the long-awaited object of the third prince of the Dorton Kingdom. She is also inclined to this marriage, seeing that this thread can only lead to herself, how can this not surprise her who has been racking her brains to find an opportunity?

No one can understand the feelings of a girl like herself who is nominally a noble princess, but is looked down upon by the nobles and even the servants in private. The so-called mother who gave birth to herself but let her identity be branded from birth. For more than ten years, the indifference of her father, the cold eyes of her brothers and sisters, the contempt of the nobles, and the contempt of the servants, all these made her become more and more sensible and swear in secret that one day, she would let these The people who had hurt her crawled at her feet, begging her for forgiveness ~IndoMTL.com~ For this goal, she was willing to sacrifice everything, even her life.

The appearance of Li Wufeng made her feel that a good opportunity was coming. She could see that he was an extraordinary guy, but there was an unquenchable ambition hidden under his handsome appearance. She can't suppress this guy's ambition, and she doesn't want to suppress it, but to facilitate the realization of his ambition. Only by relying on him firmly can her wish come true. In this society where men are superior to women, if you want to realize your wish, you must Can only use any means.

However, seeing that the opportunity that belonged to him has passed by, all this is because of her, Situ Yuzhen's inner resentment has reached the extreme, is it true that he is much worse than her? Or just because she has a good mother? !

Lifting off the silk quilt covering her body, her white and jade-like skin radiated a faint blush under the bright candlelight. Situ Yuzhen was immersed in loss. He untied the belt of his little clothes, revealing a pale pink bellyband. A head of black and shiny hair fluttered gently on his smooth and greasy back. With his slender fingers, the silk bellyband slipped off quietly, smooth and smooth. There is a small jade navel on the delicate lower abdomen, and a pair of tall and strong jade peaks looming faintly, turning her body in self-pity, but Situ Yu's heart is burning with an unyielding flame.

They are still just engaged. Even if they get married, I still have a chance. In a few words, I will not give up, never!

No one sleeps tonight, a strong man has no regrets tonight.

On the same night, Claudia, the commander of the Kaman army who surrounded Jiayuguan firmly, after receiving the information from the Zhongzhou intelligence department that Li Wufeng was about to return to the northwest, set off the craziest disturbance from the north and the south Attack the storm.
