Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 96
Chapter 6: Cutting Hearts Under the Moon
The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the brilliance was dyed, and Wen Xian's figure had gone away.

Su Mi took advantage of the moonlight to walk on the grass outside the courtyard, a gust of wind blew, Su Mi raised her head, and before she knew it, she had passed through the small bamboo grove behind the house, followed the stream, and came to the village by the side of the village. Under the big tree.

The stream meanders across the gravel-covered embankment, just like the breeze gently brushing the leaves beside him.Bathing in the moonlight all over the ground makes the stream around me a bit more ethereal out of thin air, and the sound of the water flowing at this moment sounds like only the quietness of the ground, just like this moonlight with appropriate shades.

Su Mi raised her head, and the hazy moonlight fell through the intersecting gaps of the mottled branches, making shadows faint. When a gust of wind passed by, the leaves swayed, and the shadows flickered and flickered along with it.

Just like how she feels now.

"Second Miss." A low voice came from the side, and Su Mi turned her head away. It was Ge Chengming who came here at some time.

"Why did you come here?" Su Mi asked.Just now he was still in the room discussing the next move with Qi Hao.

"Wen Xian has left?" Ge Chengming asked.

"Yes," Su Mi nodded.

The two were silent for a moment, Ge Chengming looked at Su Mi solemnly, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "During the conversation in the afternoon, I saw that the lady looked gloomy and thoughtful, but what troubles do you have?"

Su Mi was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Mr.'s eyes. I really have something on my mind."

She looked back at the village behind her, thought for a while, and asked: "Sir, once the Liao army goes south to compete with Ni Yuan as you said, the Liao army is powerful and has excellent cavalry, unmatched by anyone in the world. They march south with all their troops, even Ni Yuan has little chance of winning, right? When the time comes, the soldiers and horses will be chaotic, and the people will be in dire straits, when will it be the end?"

Pointing to the village in front of her, she said quietly: "Nowadays, the people in these mountains are simple and natural, and they only hope to live a peaceful and stable life. But the war that is coming soon will make such a simple wish come to naught. "

Just now Qi Hao and Ge Chengming were still discussing how to delay Ni Yuan's journey to the north as much as possible, at least until after the autumn harvest.So that they have enough time to prepare for the next action.

Without Ni Yuan's disturbance during the autumn harvest, the villages around the capital would inevitably be ravaged by the Liao people.

After getting along these days, people in the village took care of her as if they were their own family members, Su Mi felt conflicted and hesitated at this moment.

Ge Chengming carefully looked at the woman in front of him. He had always taken care of her as his nephew in the next life, but he didn't know when she had such worries.

Her figure was elongated by the slanting moonlight, and she looked extraordinarily lonely and cold. She looked up at him, with a faint sense of melancholy in her hazy expression.

"Miss said that once the Liao army goes south, it will be difficult to save these people." Ge Chengming staggered his gaze, followed Su Mi's gaze to look back at the quiet village and said, "When the two armies are at war, the capital must be the main battlefield. , when the war continues, these nearby villagers will inevitably suffer from the disaster."

"Ni Yuan has a well-planned layout and sophisticated calculations in this world. To be honest, he already has seven points in this world. What we have to fight for is only the remaining three points."

"Is it worth paying so much for these three points?" Su Mi asked vaguely.

"Whether it's worth fighting for or not, I have to ask Miss if she's willing." Ge Chengming turned his head and stared at Su Mi with piercing eyes, leaving her nowhere to escape.

"Second Miss is willing to watch Ni Yuan fulfill his wish and rule the world?" He asked.

"I'm not reconciled!" Su Mi's tone was still filled with deep hatred: "But..." Her eyes turned to the village in the distance, "These people are so innocent, they have always been friendly to us, but we want For their own hatred and interests, they brought them war and pain."
"Miss, what you said is wrong. Even if we don't take any action, these people will be hard to save in the future." Ge Chengming shook his head and said, his tone was leisurely and calm, but there was a hint of murderous intent: "These days, we secretly I got the news that someone is secretly contacting the garrisons of the prefectures, including Jianzhou General Shen Yue, Navy Commander Chen Chen and others. Do you know who it is, Miss?"

Su Mi was taken aback, and then came back to her senses.

"...It's Qi Hao?!" She lowered her head and said, with a hint of bitterness in her tone.

She knew that Qi Hao's ambition was not small, but she didn't expect his actions to be so fast and far-reaching.These people are all generals with soldiers and horses in their hands, guarding various places, especially the statement and others, who originally belonged to the forces of the Wang family and have extremely close relations with the Wang family.For example, I stated that my wife is Wang She's cousin.

With the successive deaths of the Empress Dowager, Wang She, and the Empress, the aristocratic forces centered on the Wang family were hit hard, and the most important aristocratic families in Daqi all lived in the capital.

It's just that the big tree fell, and the hozen hadn't dispersed yet. Gathering these scattered hozen was also a big force.

Su Mi remained silent, thinking of Qi Hao's flickering words when he received the letter today, he couldn't help feeling chills, he was guarding himself after all.
"Qi Hao is a man with a deep scheming mind and great resourcefulness. He will never be willing to just live in seclusion. He is a royal and aristocrat, so he can be the central figure of the resistance forces. Although Ni Yuan has done his best, he didn't expect that. This person can escape the catastrophe and sneak out of the capital. He will definitely be Ni Yuan's confidant in the future, and this person is the key to whether Ni Yuan's seven-point world can sit still."

"Even if he recruited the forces of the Wang family, he might not be able to compete with the forces in Ni Yuan's hands?" Su Mi asked with a frown.

"That's not the case. From my point of view, if Juyuguan fails, he must rely on these forces in his hands to form an alliance with the Liao army."

"Alliance with...the Liao army?!" Su Mi was startled.

"That's right. This person has half of the Liao blood. As long as the situation is handled properly, it is very possible to form an alliance with the Liao army. Moreover, the Liao army and Ni Yuan are just using each other. Of course, they hope to get more benefits. The three forces When fighting, it is the most common method for military strategists to use the weaker side against the stronger side." Ge Chengming nodded.

Su Mi was in a trance for a while, and she suddenly realized that the people she had been with these days were actually very strange. Maybe it was such a long-term warm life like daily chores that had worn down her energy, making her even forget that what kind of person he was Strong-willed and ambitious, although almost every moment he reminds her of… .

She remembered that when the two of them were trapped in the Donglai Building, when they started talking, Qi Hao once jokingly said: "I might as well go and seek refuge with the Liao people, at least I can get some fame."

At that time, Su Mi just regarded those words as an unintentional joke and just gave him a blank stare, but thinking about it now, I'm afraid he already had such a plan, and even took such an action.

"If Miss really hopes that Ni Yuan can rule the world and put an end to the chaos of war as soon as possible, there is only one way, and kill Qi Hao here!" Ge Chengming's voice carried a kind of chill, unexpectedly in this early summer night. Su Mi couldn't help shivering.

"I think Miss is attracted to him, but this man was born in the royal family, after all, he is too utilitarian and unpredictable. Miss said that he has saved Miss's life, but in fact, there is no need to think about it. After all, he saved Miss. How much is out of sincerity, and how much is out of consideration for the power in the young lady's hands is hard to say." Ge Chengming approached Su Mi, stared at her, and said without giving an inch: "Qi Hao's martial arts are extremely high, but compared to Wen Xian's Come on, it's still not enough. As long as the second lady orders, Wen Xian will definitely help you, and then..." A mocking smile rose from the corner of his mouth: "You can watch Ni Yuan rule the world."

Under the moonlight, Ge Chengming pressed every sentence, stared at Su Mi without any relaxation, and said every word, with the determination in his tone.

These words were as fierce as a sharp sword and wind, every word, every sentence hit Su Mi's ears fiercely.

Su Mi couldn't help trembling, and stepped back step by step, her expression unconsciously became fearful and confused, what would she do?
Unexpectedly, she stepped into the air, and her feet were muddy and cold. It turned out that she had retreated into this deserted stream before she knew it.

The mud under her feet was tangled, and it was hard to get back out. When she pulled out her feet, the shoes and socks were already soaked through.

In a haze, she suddenly realized that it turned out that once she entered this deep water and cold pool, she wanted to keep herself safe, otherwise she would retreat completely, it was just a joke.

This cold and cold feeling penetrated deep into his heart, as if he wanted to freeze something alive.

It turned out that she had no way out.

Just thinking about it like this makes my heart feel like it's about to be torn apart.

But she has no choice.

She raised her head and said with a wry smile, "Sir...you are really strict. How can Su Mi hurt her own savior for the sake of her own enemy?"

No matter what kind of character Qi Hao is, his grace for saving her life cannot be erased, let alone the sprouting feelings in his heart.And... the day and night we spent together in the past half a year came to my mind bit by bit.

A trace of unbearableness flashed across Ge Chengming's eyes, but it was only fleeting, and his expression was still solemn and strict.

"So, there is only this way. The second lady doesn't have to hesitate, as long as she can convince Mu Qinghan, the guard at Juyu Gate, it will be a big deal." He insisted on saying, his tone turned gentle: "I will wait for another day." Set off for Juyu Pass in person, Miss just needs to stay here and wait for the news. Before Ni Yuan goes north, we will definitely send someone to meet him."

Su Mi remained silent, as if she was thinking about something, finally raised her head as if she had made up her mind, and asked, "If you follow what Mr. said, what will the world be like in the future?"

"The people of Liao went south to fight against Ni Yuan. When two tigers fight, one of them must be injured. From my point of view, the Liao army must be injured. Although Yeluxin is as famous as Ni Yuan, in fact, he has extraordinary courage and resourcefulness. Compared to Gu Shuai and Prince Cheng, they are inferior, and compared to Ni Yuan, they are even worse."

"But Liao's iron cavalry is better than Ni Yuan's soldiers and horses, so the Liao army was able to gain the upper hand at the beginning, but Ni Yuan and Yongzhou's soldiers and horses, as long as they are dispatched at the right time and attack from both sides, the Liao army will eventually be defeated. In the hands of Ni Yuan, he was defeated back to Mobei."

"The fisherman wins when the mussels fight. What we have to do is to try our best to be the fisherman. If we can seize the opportunity and send troops to attack the capital while the two armies are fighting, we can take the opportunity to recover the capital."

"What about after that?" Su Mi asked in a low voice.

"After that..." Ge Chengming seemed to be staring at the night, and after a long silence, Fang said slowly, "In this way, Ni Yuan's power will also be greatly damaged. However, there are still forces in the court that can compete with him, so he has no chance to usurp. Qi Long's position as emperor will be more stable. Qi Hao is afraid that he will be able to replace the power of the royal family and become the head of the court. New dignitaries. Maybe there is another faction in the court. Although Da Qi has unified the world, there are still many hidden dangers."

"At that time, if Second Miss wants to take revenge, as long as she joins forces with Qi Hao, she will definitely be able to achieve her wish."

Under the faint brilliance of the moonlight, Ge Chengming slowly talked about the future he speculated and planned.

"...Actually, all of this is just an old man's random speculation. Although I have considered various forces, I am afraid that people plan things, and heaven makes things happen. When the time comes, the situation will change, where are you and me... ..." After he finished speaking, Ge Chengming couldn't help but shook his head, with a slight pain in his expression,
"For example, now, what we originally thought would continue, has been disrupted by Ni Yuan. This person is so scheming and resourceful that I am ashamed of myself. Being an enemy of such a person, the consequences are unpredictable. .”

He sighed softly, dejectedly.

Su Mi turned her head and stared at the quiet stream, she was silent for a while, and finally smiled and said: "The government is a system of checks and balances. It would be great if the facts are as Mr. expected. That's fine, I just hope that these wars can be ended as soon as possible. .”

Then he asked again: "Sir, are you going to go to Juyu Pass in person?"

"That's right, without further ado, I'm going to leave tomorrow." Ge Chengming nodded and said.The trip to Juyuguan was a long journey and took a long time. Qi Hao's eyes were fixed on various local forces in the south, and he couldn't get away from it, so naturally he would not go there in person.For such a decisive action, neither of them would feel relieved to send their subordinates to go there, and he would definitely have to go there himself.There is no better lobbyist than him.

"Sir, how will you persuade the guards in Yuguan?" Su Mi lowered her head and asked slowly. There was a deep tiredness between her brows, but there was an indescribable hidden feeling in the tiredness. so beautiful.

"It's nothing more than seducing them for profit, understanding them with reason, and motivating them with emotion." Ge Chengming smiled frankly.

"That's right, it's exactly this principle, lure it with profit, understand it with reason, and move it with...emotion." Su Mi raised the corner of her mouth as if laughing at herself, and whispered softly.

While speaking, she pulled out a goose yellow brocade handkerchief from her sleeve, and smiled at Ge Chengming: "Sir, he said that he will leave for Juyuguan tomorrow to try to persuade Mu Qinghan. Just bring this, Mu Qing Han will definitely follow Mr.'s wishes and abandon the pass."

Ge Chengming looked at the goose-yellow Jinxiu in astonishment.

"I admire Qinghan, who loves nurses and soldiers. He is a corporal who is respectful and worthy. He is also a general, but his experience is still inexperienced. I hope that Mr. will help and teach him well. I will naturally write a book later and give it to Mr. Su." Su Mi continued.

Ge Chengming took the brocade handkerchief in amazement, and looked down, the beautifully embroidered gold thread roses on it shone with moving brilliance.He looked up at Su Mi.

Su Mi smiled lightly, and said: "Sir, there is no need to doubt, Su Mi has been in the deep palace for two years, after all, he has gained some favors, and naturally there will be some opportunities that others do not have."

Ge Chengming suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was smart and not lacking in means. If she was given enough time, she could indeed establish her own power.

"Second Miss, don't worry, I will live up to what you entrusted." Ge Chengming said with a solemn expression, putting away this beautiful side.

"I'll leave everything to you sir." Su Mi said with a soft sigh.

After all, we people are still too selfish. Now she has been able to understand the magnificence of Zen Master Kuye. It is a choice that can only be made by people who can truly let go of the individual, truly care about the world, and have great compassion.

"But...but I'm just a mortal after all." Su Mi sighed softly with a sour smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ge Chengming looked at Su Mi's leaving figure, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart. He was pressing every step of the way just now, and he also had a selfish intention.
In this world, Ni Yuan, Gu Qingting, Chen Qian, and Ye Luxin are equally famous, and they are also known in the world, but Gu Qingting is lost in a weak country with few soldiers, and he has nothing to do with his abilities, so it is difficult to achieve a great cause.Although Chen Qian had the right time and place, but he was born in the royal family, so he was jealous and lost harmony for no reason.Yeluxin is just a martial artist outside the Great Wall, his brute force and martial arts are number one, but his intelligence is far behind.Only Ni Yuan, looking at the overall situation, has no doubts about the strategy, grasps the opportunity, and has a sharp vision. He can be called a generation of heroes.He, Ge Chengming, first assisted Gu Qingting and then joined Chen Qian, but both of them fell short. Whether it was Gu Qingting or Chen Qian, it can be said that they all lost at the hands of Ni Yuan. How could he be reconciled to this...

However, he looked up at the sky, the sky was vast, and the moonlight was cold.

The situation in the world is unpredictable, and Fusheng is struggling, who knows which one will have the last laugh?
