When a dandy is face-blind [Rebirth]

Not long after An Zirui left the Imperial Prison, Qi Heng appeared at the door of Gu Jiu's cell, looked at Gu Jiu with a pair of deep eyes, pursed his lips in a dignified manner, and remained silent.

"Did you hear it all?" Suddenly there was a second person's breathing sound, Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows without raising her eyelids.

"En." Qi Heng replied.

"I really wanted to see Yunxiu, but I lost interest after seeing you a few days ago." Gu Jiu sat on the stone bed, leaning against the cold wall lazily, holding a cricket cage in his hand, his eyes fell. On the energetic cricket in the cricket cage.

"Yeah." He replied again.

It was because he knew that Gu Jiu was not interested in Yun Xiu anymore, so he let go of An Zirui who pushed Gu Jiu out of the wall.

"What did you bring for the young master this time?" Gu Jiuchi asked Qi Heng in confusion as he looked up at him.

Seeing that Gu Jiu finally looked at him, Qi Heng's eyes flashed with joy, and he walked in.

"dessert."

"Tsk, young master still lacks some snacks?!" Having said that, Gu Jiu's gaze was fixed on the food box in Qi Heng's hand.

After sniffing deeply, Gu Jiu's eyes lit up, she jumped off the stone bed and walked over, took the food box, and said pleasantly, "Is it the snack made of herbs?"

"Yeah!" Seeing Gu Jiu's surprise, a smile flashed across Qi Heng's eyes.

The prison is isolated from the outside world, Gu Jiu doesn't know anything, Qi Heng only wants to bring something to Gu Jiu at night, and doesn't care about world affairs, so neither of them know that a big event happened outside.

The Obscure Moon Kingdom is adjacent to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there have been constant wars from generation to generation, with countless deaths and injuries. The soldiers on both sides have reached the point of endless death, and the people of the two countries are also hostile to each other. The great battle 20 years ago severely damaged the vitality of the two countries, and the young and middle-aged suffered countless losses. , Since then, the two countries have ceased war, and the small neighboring countries suppressed by the two countries have also taken this opportunity to strengthen their national strength.

In recent months, the Obscure Moon Kingdom has begun to move around again.

One after another, border urgent messages were delivered to Kyoto.

At the same time, news about the alliance between the Obscure Moon Kingdom and the surrounding small countries to jointly attack the Great Zhou spread in the territory of the Great Zhou.

What made people panic.

"Your Majesty, I would like to lead the troops to the frontier to repel the enemy!" Marquis Zhen Guo knelt down on one knee and saluted Emperor Sheng solemnly.

At this time, Zhen Guohou was calm and calm, and all his usual incongruity disappeared.

Zhen Guohou's words were exactly in line with Emperor Cheng's intentions. After Gu Jiurang secretly brought him the news, he immediately used the spies hidden in the Obscure Moon Kingdom to investigate the matter. Countries, in fact, their allies are not solid.

The Obscure Moon Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty will never stop dying, but other countries are reluctant to pay for the national power they have cultivated so hard. What's more, if their national power is damaged, once the battle is over, they will be eaten up by other countries that are allies. do.

"Your Majesty, this old minister thinks it's not acceptable." The Prime Minister came out with a look of disapproval.

"What's Aiqing's opinion?" Emperor Sheng asked doubtfully.

The prime minister cupped his hands and sighed: "Your Majesty, the disaster 20 years ago has made the people suffer unspeakably. After finally recovering from it, there will be another war. The old minister is afraid of the people..."

Hearing this, Emperor Sheng frowned, this is not bad, even if the Obscure Moon Kingdom joins forces with other countries to fight again, the Great Zhou might not lose, but the people can no longer bear such a big war again.

It's just that the sum is equal to the compensation for land cession.

"I also think what the prime minister said is very true, please think twice, Your Majesty!" Lin Shangshu also stood up.

With this beginning, more and more ministers began to second.

A glint of anger flashed in Zhen Guohou's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Have you ever forgotten that my Dazhou and Miyue have been enemies for generations, and have an endless hatred? If my Dazhou retreats a step today, will Miyue stop attacking?" ?”

"If we take the initiative to seek peace, then—" before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

All the generals looked excited, their faces were flushed, they knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, I would like to die in battle, and I will never ask for peace with Obscure Moon!"

The prime minister was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at them, pointing at them, "You, you bunch of fools!"

"Old Prime Minister, I'm not as knowledgeable as you. I only know about the wolfish ambitions of the Obscure Moon Country. Suing for peace will only make the Obscure Moon Kingdom gain more ground. I would rather die than follow through by ceding land and betraying the country!" A young general was full of grief , his grandfather, father, uncle, and uncle all died in the great war 20 years ago, and now that Obscure Moon is attacking again, he would rather die than bow to Obscure Moon Kingdom.

More than half of the generals present had relatives who died in that battle, and they would rather smash the land that their relatives fought to protect, than to cede it to Obscure Moon in such a humiliating manner.

"Your Majesty, ministers, please fight, willing to die in battle, and never seek peace!" The generals headed by Zhen Guohou shouted in unison, the voice was thick and solemn, stirring in everyone's heart.

The peacemakers, headed by the prime minister, knelt down and shouted, "Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Cheng rubbed his brows with a headache, and opened his mouth and said, "Aiqing each hold their own words, and what they say is all reasonable, but the border war waits for no one, Su Aiqing, you lead the commander seal, and lead a hundred thousand troops to the border first." Turning to the prime minister, he said, "Aiqing, please come to me after discussing a result. Is this okay, Aiqing?"

Hearing this, the generals looked happy, and Zhen Guohou stared straight.

Su Shuai excitedly said: "Observe the order, thank you, Your Majesty!"

The prime minister was a little dumbfounded, this, this soldier will fight at the border, what is there to discuss?The emperor clearly directly supports the main battle.

"Your majesty—" The prime minister wanted to say something else.

Emperor Cheng raised his hand to stop him, coughed a few times, and said: "Today, let's do this first, let's retreat!"

"Retreat!!" An Yuan, who knew what Emperor Cheng was thinking, immediately shouted with that sharp voice.

The prime minister is in a hurry, but there is one person who is more anxious than the prime minister, and that is Zhen Guohou. Obviously he was the one who asked for the battle first, but the emperor gave the seal of command to Su, how could he not be in a hurry?

When all the courtiers were leaving the hall, he quietly turned a corner and went to find Emperor Sheng.

I don't know what Emperor Sheng said to him, but when he entered, the Prince of Zhenguo looked anxious, but when he came out, his face was flushed, and he laughed at everyone, as if he had got a great job.

The people of Dazhou heard that Emperor Sheng sent troops to fight at the border, and they were both happy and worried. They were happy that Emperor Sheng would not cede land to the Obscure Moon Kingdom that they hated so much, but they were worried that the alliance of the enemy countries would be too strong. but.

There are also some people who scold Emperor Sheng for being a fool. The pain of 20 years ago is still vivid in his memory. Emperor Sheng sent troops to fight again. This time, it is unknown how many people will have their families destroyed.

Hearing this, Emperor Sheng let out a long sigh, his face was a little sad, he can't retreat, he can't retreat, once Obscure Moon gains the upper hand, he will press harder and harder, and Da Zhou will be destroyed. With the generational hatred between the two countries, Da Zhou Zhou Xia, I am afraid that they will all become slaves of the Obscure Moon Kingdom.

Da Zhou cannot lose, must win!

This is the idea of ​​Emperor Cheng, and it is also the idea of ​​all the generals. If you lose, you will be forever lost!

"Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother, something serious happened."

When An Zirui came to see Gu Jiu again, Gu Jiu was sleeping. Due to the previous lessons, he didn't dare to get too close to Gu Jiu, and only shouted not far away from Gu Jiu.

Sure enough, Gu Jiu, who was woken up by An Zirui, sat up suddenly, picked up the whip and whipped it. An Zirui laughed, dodged skillfully, walked around, walked to Gu Jiu, scratched his head, and said seriously: "Brother Nine, this time is really a big deal."

"Which time didn't you talk about big things?" Gu Jiu retracted his whip and gave An Zirui a glare.

An Zirui laughed dryly, "But this time it's really a big deal, we're fighting with the Obscure Moon Kingdom again."

"Fighting?!" Gu Jiu frowned. In his previous life, after the war between the two countries, Da Zhou narrowly won, and the vitality of the three armies was greatly damaged. Before the army returned, he and his sixth uncle, King Cheng, forced the palace.

The date of the war between the two countries in this life has been postponed for nearly a year. He almost thought that this life is different from the previous life, and this thing will not happen, but now that the war is starting at this time, I wonder if there will be any changes.

"Is there any other news?" Gu Jiu rubbed the whip in his hand, feeling a little uneasy.

"The Obscure Moon Kingdom has formed an alliance with several small countries that are not weak! However, they each have their own ideas, and this alliance is only on the surface, and they don't know how to guard against each other in private?" An Zirui snorted and sneered.

"Even so, uncle must have a very headache." Gu Jiu frowned tightly, stood up and walked a few steps, stopped, turned to An Zirui, and said, "No, I can't stay here anymore, you Help the young master to ask Lord Hou to bring a sentence to my uncle, saying that if you don't let me out again, I will 'prove my innocence by death'."

"...Ninth brother, are you being imprisoned stupidly?! That hypocrite Shen Munan, how can you deserve this?"

An Zirui was full of anxiety, he pulled Gu Jiu, and said nervously: "Brother Jiu, don't overthink it, the emperor won't disbelieve you, really, there's no point in proving your innocence."

Hearing this, Gu Jiu patted An Zirui's shoulder and sighed, "Little Ruier, eat more walnuts."

Confused by Gu Jiu's abrupt words, An Zirui opened his mouth slightly, looked at Gu Jiu, and said blankly, "Huh?"

"I heard from Miracle Doctor Su that that thing nourishes the brain." Gu Jiu sighed.

"Brother Jiu! Why are you mocking me again?!" An Zirui gave Gu Jiu a dissatisfied look. He knew that he had misunderstood Gu Jiu again, but he couldn't blame him for it all. His father is the prince of the country.

After all, some things are passed down in one vein.

An Zirui, who blamed his father, was slapped in the face that night. He told Zhen Guohou what Gu Jiu said exactly, and Zhen Guohou slapped his thigh after hearing it.

"Good boy, thanks to him for coming up with such an idea."

An Zirui looked at Zhen Guohou blankly, and suddenly felt that maybe he should listen to brother Jiu and eat more walnuts.

As a result, the walnuts in the whole Zhenguohou's mansion were secretly picked up by An Zirui and brought into his house. The cooks in the Zhenguohou's mansion wondered, it would not be unusual for a glutton to steal a few walnuts to eat, but half a basket The walnuts have been taken away, which is not like a house thief.

The whereabouts of the half basket of walnuts in Zhen Guohou's mansion became a mystery in the hearts of the cooks.
