Zhou Yunke was slightly surprised, but his eyes softened. "I'm sorry, but this is the fastest way to end this."
Su Liuyue understood his thoughts, and sighed, saying, "Forget it, I don't seem to have the right to say anything to you. If I were in your position, I would probably do the same.
But you should bring a few more capable generals with you this time."
Zhou Yunke raised his lips slightly, "If General Niu heard that you disliked him so much, I'm afraid he would come after me to complain.
I deliberately brought only one general with me, Liu Yue. When I knew that my opponent was General Zhong, I actually felt relieved. "
Su Liuyue didn't say anything, but just looked at him quietly, indicating that she was listening carefully.
Zhou Yunke couldn't help but hold her hand tightly and whispered, "Although General Zhong and I only have one previous battle together, that one encounter was enough for me to clearly understand what kind of person he is.
He was a general who valued friendship and loyalty. Although his glory and status were gained on the battlefield, he hated war from the bottom of his heart.
The previous dynasty was so corrupt in its later years, but it was not until the last few years that the unrest in various places could no longer be suppressed. This was all thanks to General Zhong who had been working tirelessly to mediate and maintain checks and balances.
It has been more than three months since Miss Zhong passed away. If the Cui family had wanted to instigate General Zhong to rebel, they would have told General Zhong the news after Miss Zhong passed away. However, General Zhong has only made up his mind to rebel now."
Su Liuyue immediately understood what he wanted to say. "General Zhong was watching from the sidelines. For the sake of the world and the people who had finally regained peace, he did not want to start a war at will. So, even though he was filled with grief, he still wanted to give Daqing one more chance."
Let’s see whether Daqing will protect the culprit who humiliated his little daughter.
It remains to be seen whether Daqing will target former officials who stand up for Miss Zhong.
However, Daqing disappointed him time and time again.
Even more than he expected.
Seeing that she understood immediately, Zhou Yunke smiled and said softly, "Yes, since what General Zhong really wants is an attitude, not a war, then I will give him this attitude."
Su Liuyue took a breath and said, "You want to instigate General Zhong to rebel? But... General Zhong is angry now. No matter how close you are to him, your friendship is not that deep. Are you sure that things can go smoothly?"
"I'm not sure, but I think it's worth a try."
Zhou Yunke looked at the worry that could not be concealed on the face of the woman in front of him, gently stroked the back of her hand soothingly, and chuckled and said: "Liu Yue, you know me, I am not a reckless man who insists on doing things his own way.
I won't put all my hopes on one possibility. If that doesn't work, I'll make other plans.
In fact, since I predicted that another war would break out sooner or later, I sent a message to the Shenwu Army stationed in various places in Daqing, asking them to secretly send out scouts and pay special attention to the soldiers of the former dynasty in various places.
After General Zhong starts the rebellion, those who will join him will take action in the next two days.
Once they make any move, they will be stopped by the Shenwu Army.
An army without external support, no matter how powerful it is, cannot last long.
In my opinion, what we really need to worry about is not these rebels from the previous regime.”
Su Liuyue understood what he had not yet said.
He did all this to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes.
And the mastermind behind this is most likely hiding in Xinjing.
Compared to the open battlefield, this enemy hidden behind the scenes may be more difficult to deal with.
Even though his heart was still slightly tense, Su Liuyue took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Don't worry, Your Highness. I will take care of Xinjing."
Zhou Yunke was slightly stunned. In fact, what he wanted to say was that he had already made arrangements in Xinjing and everything would be fine.
Su Liuyue said calmly: "Even if Your Highness has made arrangements, Your Highness is not here. At this time, there is a reliable person watching by the side. Shouldn't Your Highness feel more at ease?"
Not everyone can brag about themselves so naturally.
Zhou Yunke couldn't help but laugh softly, "Okay, then I'll leave Xinjing to you."
After Su Liuyue finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and walked around the tent.
Although she had been here before, at that time, she and Zhou Yunke were at most a cooperative relationship, so she was not thick-skinned enough to look around his tent.
Now, taking a closer look, I found that this tent was quite large, with a soft brown carpet on the floor. In the middle was a large desk and chair. On the left side of the desk was a long couch, and on the right side were two chairs, which should be for the soldiers who came to discuss matters. In the middle was a huge sand table.
But all these things are concentrated in a small open space in the middle. There is a very spacious space on the left and right sides, which is blocked by a wooden folding screen with only some simple patterns carved on it.
Su Liuyue walked to the left side and found a wooden bed inside. Although it was simple, it was fully furnished with beddings. The beddings were all simple and plain in style, which was obviously Zhou Yunke's style.
Behind the screen on the right, there is a simple bathtub and some bathing supplies.
She immediately understood that sometimes Zhou Yunke didn't go home and would spend the night here.
She turned to Zhou Yunke, who had been smiling and looking at her everywhere, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "It's too late today, I won't go back. Your Highness, do you mind taking me in for one night? Although the wooden bed is a bit narrow, it shouldn't be a problem for two people to sleep on it."
Zhou Yunke was stunned. He never expected that she was planning this.
He opened his mouth and was about to say that the conditions in the military camp were not good and she might not be comfortable living there, but Su Liuyue was already talking to herself, "But I was in a hurry to leave this time and didn't bring any change of clothes. Fortunately, I put on this set of clothes before leaving, so it's not dirty, so it's fine to wear it for two days.
But you still need to wipe your body before going to bed.
Your Highness..."
Su Liuyue turned to Zhou Yunke again and said with a smile: "I want two buckets of warm water to wipe my body. I'm not sure who should I ask for water from you guys?"
Zhou Yunke: “…”
However, facing such a smiling face, he could not bring himself to ask her to go back. He took a deep breath and went out to ask someone to bring two buckets of warm water.
After the warm water was brought over, Su Liuyue directly untied her bun, and her black hair immediately cascaded down like a waterfall, swaying gently with her movements.
On the other side, Zhou Yunke, who sat back behind the desk and said seriously that he was going to deal with military affairs, couldn't help but hold his breath slightly. He stared at her unconsciously, unable to move his eyes away for a long time.
Su Liuyue seemed not to notice, and took off her outer clothes slowly and leisurely, until only a few underwear were left, then she turned around and smiled at the man whose face had slightly turned red, "Your Highness, this is a military camp, we still have to abide by military regulations, right? Don't worry, I won't do anything tonight, and I believe that a self-disciplined person like Your Highness will not do anything either."
After saying that, she smiled at him again like a fairy, then walked leisurely behind the screen.
Zhou Yunke: “…”
Feeling the anger boiling in his body, it took him a long time to calm down a little. Immediately, he raised his hand helplessly, supported his forehead, smiled and shook his head.
He just didn't want her to stay because he knew that he didn't have that much self-control over her.
Now it seems that she was deliberately torturing him just to get revenge on him for not telling her about going to the battlefield.
It seems that tonight is not going to be so good. (End of this chapter)
