One Side Is Happy While the Other Side Is Torn Apart

The latest news about the war was quickly transmitted back to the capitals of Gan State and Liang State.

After Yi 𫖯 returned to Nanping City, he ordered the South Gate to be tightly locked, and all soldiers to stand by and prepare for the counterattack of Gan State, while waiting for new instructions from the court.

Yi 𫖯, who used Peng Wei to play a trick and was slapped in public by the angry Peng Qian after returning to Nanping City, did not arouse the suspicion of Liang State. Although many people secretly ridiculed the behavior of Yi 𫖯and his son, some people suspected that the Peng family had long been a spy of Gan State, and there was no problem in using Peng Wei to exchange Yi 𫖯back, and it would even be better to arrest Peng Qian as well to prevent him from doing bad things .

A young general who held the latter view went over the head to make suggestions to Yi 𫖯. After thinking about it, Yi 𫖯 said that there was no reason to arrest Peng Qian rashly, and arranged this young general to monitor Peng Qian's every move.

The young general thought that Yi 𫖯 thought the same as him, and he would be reused this time, but he didn't know that Yi 𫖯 was just perfunctory. It is impossible to gain anything by monitoring Peng Qian.

In Xuanbei City, the reinforcement of the destroyed city walls and gates has been completed. Some people in the Gan State Army think that they should counterattack and teach Liang State a lesson, but Xing Ji chose to stay put.

But this is only on the surface. Secretly, Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing, father and son, have arrived in Liang State and are rushing to Yaocheng to assassinate Situ Xie. This is not Xing Ji's arrangement, but what the grandfather and grandson have always wanted to do, but they were previously unable to get away due to various reasons.

At this time, Yi 𫖯, the main general of Liang State, has been instigated to rebel. If Gan State fights again, it will certainly have a great chance of winning, but it is unnecessary and will only increase unnecessary casualties.

As long as Situ Xie can be successfully killed, the other members of the Situ royal family will not be able to achieve anything, and Liang State will be doomed.

Peng Wei stayed at home to avoid being seen by spies. He actually lived a comfortable life in Xuanbei City.

The only two women in the army, Rendong and Minrou, quickly became good friends. Rendong shared a lot of things about Su Liang with Minrou, and Minrou always praised him. At that time, Lao Mu, who sent Minrou here, had not left yet. He planned to wait for Su Liang to send more news in Xuanbei City to see if he would go to Xingluo Island next.

As for everything about Xingluo Island, Minrou occasionally thought of it and felt as if it was a lifetime ago.

…

The capital of Gan State.

When Duanmu Chen received the news that the war had subsided and the grandparents of the Qiu family went to Yaocheng to assassinate Situ Xie, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered Changan, "Go and call Gu Ling and Su Liang!"

As soon as Changan turned around, Duanmu Chen changed his mind again, "Today is a good day, I will go out of the palace for a walk!"

"Are you going to Su Mansion?" Changan asked respectfully.

"Where else can we go?" Duanmu Chen asked, and then laughed again, "We should be able to catch lunch. I wonder what delicious food Su Liang and Gu Ling made today. Let's go."

Chang'an: ... His master, who once did everything just to become the master of the palace, now looks forward to going out of the palace to eat at Su's house.

He met Situ Yao halfway. She was served by the palace maids and was about to go for a walk in the imperial garden. When she saw Duanmu Chen, she bowed properly, but her eyes no longer had the spirit that made Duanmu Chen unforgettable.

"I'll go to your place when I return to the palace." Duanmu Chen no longer minded that Situ Yao was thinking about her family. Although they couldn't go back to the past, there was no real past between the two. He just wanted to be responsible for every woman in the harem as much as possible. Maybe he couldn't be a good man, but he tried his best to be a good person. Of course, except Ji Yuexuan, who had been waiting for her lover, but not Duanmu Chen.

Situ Yao responded and watched Duanmu Chen leave. She could feel that Duanmu Chen was in a good mood, which made her think that perhaps there was good news from the northern border.

Situ Yao looked far to the north. The farthest place was still only the high palace wall. A few birds flapped their wings and flew out of the palace wall and disappeared into the blue sky.

"My queen, are you still going to the garden?" The maid looked at Situ Yao, who was in a trance, with some concern.

Situ Yao shook her head slightly, not knowing whether to answer the maid or her own heart, "I don't know..." She continued to walk towards the direction of the imperial garden.

Situ Yao was very confused. If Gan Kingdom won and Liang Kingdom was gone, what should she do? Even if Duanmu Chen would still give her the honor of a concubine, she knew that her father and brother would die, and the murderer was Duanmu Chen. How should she face him, and even sleep with him? She really couldn't do such a thing.

If it weren't for the baby in her belly, Situ Yao thought that maybe when the Situ family was destroyed, she should go with them, and it would be over once and for all...

When Duanmu Chen arrived at the Su Mansion, Gu Ling was frying the last dish, and Su Liang and the children were already seated, just waiting for the meal.

Hearing Duanmu Chen's voice coming from outside the door, Ji Xiaoshu shouted at the door, "Oh my God! Uncle Emperor is coming to our house for a meal again! Big Brother, let's eat the chicken legs quickly!"

Zheng'er laughed secretly. Duanmu Chen, who came in, had a dark face. He walked over and rubbed Ji Xiaoshu's head, and sat down next to him, "Xiaoshu, if you want to eat for a meal, when will you go back to your home? This is not your home."

Ji Xiaoshu was unhappy instantly, "I am the apprentice of Master and Master's Wife, and their son! This is my home! Who is Uncle Emperor to them?"

"How did you become their son? I am their best friend." Duanmu Chen smiled.

Zhenger: ... He had heard Uncle Lin and Uncle Xing Yusheng say this.

"Who is Master's wife's best friend?" Ji Xiaoshu immediately went to Su Liang to confirm.

Su Liang chuckled, "Of course it's your master."

"The master's best friend is of course the master's wife. The best friend of the master and the master's wife is me!" Ji Xiaoshu patted her chest and said with an arrogant look.

Duanmu Chen coughed lightly, "As long as you are happy. But do you really not want to go home?"

Ji Xiaoshu "accused" Gu Ling who came in, "Master, the emperor's uncle said that I was eating here and wanted me to go back to my father's house as soon as possible!"

Duanmu Chen's mouth twitched when he heard "my father's house".

Gu Ling looked calm and said, "He's right."

Duanmu Chen immediately smiled and wanted to comfort Ji Xiaoshu, but Gu Ling said, "You two are the same."

This time Ji Xiaoshu was happy, "It's different! I'm younger than the emperor's uncle!"

Duanmu Chen: ...That's true.

Gu Xiaonuan woke up from Su Liang's arms, and Duanmu Chen was immediately attracted to her. He stood up and wanted to bring the pink girl over. Gu Ling gave him a cold look and sat back silently before finally remembering to get down to business. "There's good news."

Su Liang asked, "Don't fight?"

"How do you know?" Duanmu Chen still wanted him to bring a surprise.

"Guess." Su Liang said.

After Duanmu Chen finished speaking, Su Liang nodded, "This is best." As long as the war subsides and no more casualties are caused, other things are not the most important thing at the moment.

"That mysterious force, the one you are talking about named Mo Yan, he is gone this time, next time... he will come directly to snatch my throne, right?" Duanmu Chen asked the question in his heart.

Gu Ling nodded, "Yes."

Ji Xiaoshu looked surprised, "Are the people on the island where stars can fall down so powerful? Why don't they take my father's throne?"

Duanmu Chen gave Ji Xiaoshu a thumbs up, "You are really a filial son."

"I'm not as good as the Emperor's uncle in this regard." Ji Xiaoshu said with a serious face.

Duanmu Chen's expression froze. Indeed, he was also a "great filial son"...

Su Liang answered Duanmu Chen's question, "Maybe, but we still have to be careful. But it is expected that we will look for them first before they come."

Ji Xiaoshu asked, "Why don't you go and steal my father's throne?" He really didn't understand.

Duanmu Chen chuckled, "It's possible."

"Can I become the emperor of the Qian Kingdom if I kill the emperor's uncle?" Ji Xiaoshu frowned, "This is unreasonable."

The last four words were very similar to Su Liang's tone.

"It's not that simple, but if you want the throne of the Qian Kingdom, you must kill me." Duanmu Chen explained, "Similarly, if you want the throne of the Yan Kingdom, you must kill your father."

At this moment, Zheng'er whispered to Ji Xiaoshu, "Xiaoshu, Master wants to eat your chicken legs."

Ji Xiaoshu immediately forgot about the throne, looked at Gu Ling who picked up the chicken legs, and rushed over to pick up the chicken legs with a bowl in hand.

Gu Ling teased him for a while before putting the chicken legs in his bowl.

Duanmu Chen also started to eat, planning to have a good chat with Su Liang after finishing the meal, so as to avoid Ji Xiaoshu's ghostly spirit from always disturbing the situation.

The lunch ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and Gu Ling directed the two children to wash the dishes. This was not the first time for any of them to do housework. Even Ji Xiaoshu didn't bargain and went on obediently.

Duanmu Chen smiled and asked, "Will my son also have to come to your house to wash dishes in the future?"

Su Liang nodded, "If you want to eat at my house."

"What about Nuan Nuan?" Duanmu Chen asked.

Su Liang smiled, "It's all the same."

"Very good." Duanmu Chen didn't have the pedantic idea of ​​"a gentleman is far away from the cook". After all, he claimed to be Gu Ling's best friend, and Gu Ling was a man with superb cooking skills. After getting to know this couple, many of his ideas have changed, and he hopes that his children can have a different, easier and happier life.

After chatting about the current situation for a while, Duanmu Chen returned to the palace. He is not worried about what will happen next. As a lucky emperor who "sits back and enjoys the success", he only needs to do his job well, don't cause trouble, and don't point fingers at Gu Ling and Su Liang. It's all good for you, me, and everyone.

The two little guys finished their housework and went to take a nap. In the afternoon, Lin Shuzhi came over to finish their lessons and also talked to Su Liang about the current situation.

After confirming that the war in the north had subsided, Lin Shuzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great." He knew that although Gu Ling and Su Liang had not left the capital this year, their contribution to the current result must have been crucial.

…

At almost the same time that Duanmu Chen received the good news from Xuanbei City, Situ Xie also received the news from Yi Xiang in the palace of Yaocheng in Liang Kingdom.

Two days before this news, the last news Situ Xie received was that the Liang Kingdom had successfully blown up the gates and walls of Xuanbei City.

Although Qian State also used explosives at that time, which prevented Liang State's army from attacking Xuanbei City that day, Situ Xie felt that with the help of Mo Yan, an important breakthrough had been made, and it was only a matter of time before he could capture Xuanbei City, and It shouldn't take long.

At this moment, the news that Situ Xie got was from the day after Mo Yan disappeared.

Seeing the words "Lord Mo is missing and there is no new supply of food and grass", Situ Xie's hands trembled suddenly and his heart sank severely!

Seeing this, Situ Jing had an extremely bad premonition. Since Mo Yan started helping them, this was the first time such an expression appeared on Situ Xie's face. Something bad must have happened.

Immediately, Situ Jing heard the sound of Situ Xie gritting his teeth.

"Grandfather, did something happen to Nanping City?" Situ Jing asked cautiously.

"Mo Yan..." Situ Xie gritted his teeth, his eyes dark and terrifying.

Situ Jing's heart skipped a beat. He had mentioned before whether Mo Yan would have any problems, but was scolded by Situ Xie.

Picking up the memorial that Situ Xie had thrown on the ground, Situ Jing's eyes widened when he saw it, "This... our food and grass... Did he collude with Ji Yuebai and Duanmu Chen? Just to encourage our Liang country to send troops first, so that we can legitimately counterattack Liang country?"

"Not necessarily, but something must have happened, and it must be related to Gu Ling and Su Liang!" Situ Xie still believed that Mo Yan was not the same kind of person as Gu Ling and Su Liang. Something unexpected happened in the dark, which affected Mo Yan, and he simply gave up Liang country and took away the key food and grass!

The reason why Situ Xie didn't have the same idea as Situ Jing was because he knew what kind of people Gu Ling and Su Liang were. They couldn't let someone like Mo Yan come to lure Liang to send troops in order to unify the world, because there were simpler and more direct ways to achieve the goal, and there was no need to go through so much trouble. And a "god" like Mo Yan would not be used in such a place.

Just when Situ Xie was racking his brains to think of a countermeasure and ordered to immediately start collecting food from the people, new news came from Nanping City: Yi 𫖯 was captured.

Situ Jing immediately said, "Use Peng Wei to exchange! It will definitely work!"

A day later, Situ Xie received the latest news that Yi 𫖯's son Yi Chong really used Peng Wei to exchange Yi 𫖯back, but there was insufficient food and grass, and no explosives. Yi 𫖯didn't dare to send troops easily again , and asked Situ Xie what to do next.

Situ Xie didn't close his eyes last night, as if he had aged a lot overnight, his hair turned white, and his eyes were red.

Hearing Situ Jing say that the Ganguo would definitely counterattack Nanping City, Situ Xie remained silent. He looked at the lifelike golden dragon armrests on the dragon throne, and recalled the ambitions he had when he first sat in this position, as if it was still yesterday...

A rumble of thunder sounded, and Situ Xie looked outside, the sky was overcast, and the storm was coming.

"Grandfather, what should we do next?" Situ Jing looked anxious.

Situ Xie suddenly turned his head and looked at him coldly, "You have to ask me everything, none of you have a brain! The only smart and powerful one among my children and grandchildren betrayed me!"

Situ Jing was worried about the situation, and was suddenly scolded. He didn't dare to breathe and lowered his head.

At this time, the "only smart and powerful" person in Situ Xie's mouth had returned to Yaocheng, with the purpose of taking his head...
