Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 71 Temptation

Situ Yutang looked at the man in front of her in confusion, who seemed to be intoxicated by some kind of confused emotion. Even she herself felt affected by the other person's emotions and became a little sentimental. The survival of the empire, the rise and fall of the family, This moment suddenly seems so far away. What is the purpose of a person's life? This question seems so simple and naive, but when you think about it carefully, no one can see through it. , it seems that this issue can all be boiled down to one point, that is, the pursuit of a better life. Material life may be more important to ordinary people, while those who claim to be extraordinary are naturally pursuing spiritual life and desires. Do you want to show the grand plan in your heart, or do you persevere for the unchanging persistent belief in your heart? It seems that all of this has become illusory at this moment.

"Wufeng, sometimes a person may not understand the desire deep in his heart, but he must be able to clearly understand that he hopes to see a certain situation happen or appear. Perhaps for the realization of this situation or phenomenon, it is His pursuit of life, right? Deep down in your heart, you hope to see another change in the world around you, which is probably your pursuit of life." At this time, Situ Yutang didn't have much thought to think about the gains and losses of the empire. At this time, she is more like a sister who is teaching and teaching a little brother who is lost.

Startled for a moment, Wufeng fell into longer-term contemplation, developing in the direction he most hoped for in order to survive in the world? So what is the most desired and satisfying result? Eliminate the rebellion, repel foreign aggression, and become the hero of the empire? Unify the empire, eliminate internal and external troubles, and become a new empire builder? Or as a pioneer officer who opened up the territory for the empire, let his name be written into the future history as an eternity? Or develop the economy, educate the people, let the people in the territory live and work in peace, and become a lord praised by thousands of people?

I fell my head, and Wufeng was at a loss for a while. Are these goals too far away? For me, whether I can achieve these goals is just a fictional fantasy. What I think more about is how to survive better in this complex and dangerous environment, so that I can live a better life for myself, my surroundings and the relatives, friends and comrades who are attached to me. Maybe this is what I need to consider right now.

Seeing the confused look on the face of the man in front of him gradually disappear, replaced by the usual calm and deep, those eyes that can see everything slowly withdraw their gaze from the distant sky, everything on this land Everything is under my control, so where should I take my next step?

Glancing at the man next to him who was sleeping peacefully, Situ Yutang, who was dressed in thin clothes, looked at the oil lamp in the middle of the tent in a state of anxiety. This was the second time the two shared the same bed, but He seemed to be very tired. After walking around, he was accompanied by Cui Wenxiu and received six ten thousand cavalry commanders from the Mott Self-Defense Army. After that, his mood became a little low, and he entered the tent early and lay down. There was only one beard bed used by the nomads in the Yisheng grassland. Although it was very spacious, it took a long time for Situ Yutang to make up his mind to sleep next to him.

The big tent was very quiet, and occasionally the footsteps of the guards outside the tent could be heard in the distance. He seemed to have fallen asleep very quickly, and the face that was usually unpredictable became so peaceful and pure at this moment. This was his own. Husband, who sometimes feels ambitious, daring, cruel, cunning and insidious? Quietly raising his head, next to this face that was suddenly distant and near in his memory, what was this person thinking deep in his heart? What would he dream of in his dream? For a moment, the two faces with different expressions flickered under the dim light, and infinite reverie lingered in Situ Yutang's heart.

Just in a daze like this, and I don't know how much time passed, a faint murmur came quietly from outside the tent.

"Your Excellency is a little tired today, and he is not in a good mood. Why don't you wait until you wake up and wash up tomorrow morning and inform him?"

"I'm afraid this is not very good. My lord is very concerned about the situation on the Eastern Front. I have already said that the situation from the East must be reported to him immediately."

"My lord is sleeping with His Royal Highness Princess He tonight. I'm afraid it's not good to disturb you at this time?" His tone of speech was also a little hesitant. After all, the boss always attaches great importance to the military situation from afar, and rarely reports it overnight. It is an inspection outside, but the requirements are also very strict.

"I'm afraid it won't work. Your Excellency has been out for three or four days. Your Excellency needs to hear a report on the situation on the Eastern Front every three days. Although it is a bit late, I don't think your Excellency will blame you."

Hearing the sound of arguments outside the tent, Situ Yutang quietly put on his clothes and got up, and glanced at the sleeping person next to his pillow. ?”

"Oh, Your Royal Highness, I interrupted your rest. There is an urgent battle report from the front line and I need to report it to Lord Li immediately." The person who came to report probably came from the Military Intelligence Bureau, which is a newly established intelligence agency exclusively for the military. Department, Situ Yutang has heard about the activities of this department, they belong to his husband's absolute confidants, it is difficult for any other Northwest military and government officials to directly command this department, their leaders are directly ordered by Li Wufeng.

"Oh, is it urgent? Then I'll wake him up." Situ Yutang is very sensitive, she knows that her identity is now in a position that is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing, of course all of this is her royal princess status What it brings is also irreversibly related to Li Wufeng's stance towards the empire.

"Uh, then there is Your Highness Princess Lao." The people who came to report were also very obedient.

When Situ Yutang woke Wufeng from his sleep, Wufeng slept soundly. It had been a long time since he had such a sound sleep. The conversation with Situ Yutang yesterday afternoon seemed to make him This kind of mood that had been suppressed for a long time got a suitable vent, which made him feel more relaxed. The other party's seemingly vague words made a hole in his depressed mood. The irritable and depressed mood was also excreted through the mouth at once, so it made him feel fully relaxed and had such a good sleep.

Looking at Wufeng carefully reading the letter under the lamp, Situ Yutang always felt an unspeakable feeling in her heart. As far as she knew, her husband had a special intelligence secretary who was in charge of daily intelligence affairs, and That woman was born in the Jianghu, and she was able to gain his absolute trust. What else could it explain besides the intimate relationship between the two? Situ Yutang didn't care about this point. For a man of Xiang Wufeng's status, let alone one, ten or eight would not be bothered, and his status would not be shaken. But what greatly stimulated Situ Yutang was that, How could she not be annoyed at such an important link as intelligence affairs, as Her Royal Highness, the princess bestowed by the empire, was unable to intervene, but let a lower-class woman from the Jianghu gain the upper hand.

After reading the information, Wufeng handed the letter to Situ Yutang who had been sitting silently, "Look, your elder brother has finally begun to show his strength, and it only took two days to drive the Taiping Army out of Cangzhou , Now the entire Yanyun County has returned to the empire, and His Majesty the Emperor has issued an order to commend the great achievements of the First Legion."

Seeing that the other party handed over the information so generously, Situ Yutang was not polite. To be honest, staying in the northwest, the Taiping Army cut off all the roads leading to the northwest from the imperial capital. She has not had normal communication with the imperial capital for a long time. Contacted, and all sources of intelligence seemed to be cut off. She seemed to have become a redundant person in the northwest. If she wanted to obtain information, she could only analyze and judge the situation of the empire from the news published in the private newspapers in the northwest.

Conquering Cangzhou is certainly a great thing, but another intelligence news also shocked Situ Yutang's heart. The Lin family's army increased its troops to the Lujiang River, and continued to clash with the Lang family's army in the Hanzhong Basin , The Lin family has even re-deployed two divisions from Sanjiang to enter Lujiang. Judging by the posture of the two sides, it is necessary to collide with each other for the control of Hanzhong Mansion~IndoMTL.com~.

"A group of guys who don't know how to advance or retreat, what time is it, they are still fighting for Hanzhong, how good would it be if they have the energy to work together to deal with the Kamans or the Taiping Sect?" Thinking bitterly, Situ Yutang's eyes It has also changed a lot.

"Yutang, His Royal Highness has already captured Cangzhou, and it seems that the Qinghe Mansion is about to be recovered. I think the Zhongxing Empire is at the right time, and the Third Highness is also aggressively attacking the Five Lakes. It is estimated that the Maqihan people and Taiping It will be a matter of time before the teaching is expelled from the Five Lakes. I was thinking that since the Tianshui Mansion belongs to Heshuo, it also belongs to the territory of the Third Highness. If the conditions are right, I think it is more appropriate for the Third Highness or the Great Highness to take over. In case some people in the court always think that I, Li, have ulterior motives and intentions, what do you think?" Wufeng seems to have connected a lot, and he generously put forward his own ideas, "In addition, if the time is right, I also want to gradually move Beiyuan and Longdong And Xikang are also handed over to your highness."

Faced with the sudden change in the opponent's position, Situ Yutang was a little hard to understand for a while. He didn't always regard the land as his life, and it was even more difficult to get him to withdraw from an inch of land. Did you really change your mind suddenly?

Staring deeply at the other party, Situ Yutang tried to find clues from the other party's face, but seeing that Wufeng's expression was calm and she could not see anything unusual, after careful consideration, she replied cautiously: "If you It is of course a good thing if you really have this heart, but military matters are changing rapidly, the situation in the Central Plains may not be as optimistic as it seems, whether it is Tianshui, or the other three prefectures, from my point of view, there is no need to rush to hand over the empire right now, just like you As I said, if you hand it over to the empire, it may be difficult for the empire to hold on to it. If it is lost, it will not be beautiful. As long as you have this heart, it will be enough."
