Chapter 114: Western Region Invasion
"What do you mean?" Yu Jiuer wanted to know what tricks Lin Siyu wanted to use to make her willingly help her deal with the Miao Princess?
"Don't think that Prince Jing gave you the entire shipload of goods shipped back from the Western Regions, and secretly gave you most of the property of former prefect Dou Xiong, just to help you. He is using you!"
Lin Siyu smiled with a sinister look on her face, which was extremely inconsistent with her sweet and tender appearance. Yu Jiuer didn't know how she did it.
She then asked Yu Jiuer in a sinister tone, "You probably don't know why Prince Jing was banished to Yinshan, right?"
Yu Jiuer got goose bumps all over her body after hearing this. Her face looked a bit like the Black and White Impermanence who lock souls.
Yu Jiuer swallowed her saliva, held back her nausea and asked, "You know?"
"Of course, my father is the governor of the navy. Even if he doesn't take sides, he won't let anyone use him as a pawn. He knows that I have long been in love with Prince Jing and has been secretly keeping an eye on him for many years!"
"So what?" Yu Jiuer was a little impatient.
Lin Siyu smiled sinisterly and said, "Before being exiled to Yinshan, Prince Jing had 100,000 Yulin troops under his command, and he was able to run rampant in the Great Dong Dynasty. No matter what they wanted to do to him, everyone had to be cautious, including the emperor.
Therefore, many people put obstacles in his way and plotted against the elite soldiers and generals in the Yulin Army, causing the Yulin Army to fall apart. In order to save the lives of his brothers in the Yulin Army who had fought side by side with him, Prince Jing reluctantly resigned from his military power.
The emperor found a reason to demote him to Yinshan, and said that if he wanted to return to Beijing, he had to establish sufficient achievements in Yinshan County before he could propose the conditions for returning to Beijing. So, Prince Jing is using you to help him build industry!
Don't think that he values you that much because he gave you so much money? He is just motivated by profit! You are still helping him to find a marriage partner and achieve his great cause. How foolish! "
Her words really touched Yu Jiuer's sensitive nerves. She really thought that the friendship between her and Prince Jing was unique and precious, but she didn't expect that she was overthinking it.
Is it any wonder that his political opponents always try to hinder the development of Yinshan County?
However, no matter how sad I feel, I can't let this green tea bitch succeed!
Yu Jiuer sneered, "I really like being used like this! If you have the guts, you can spend a few million taels on me and use me! I'm not afraid of being hit by silver!"
In this political struggle, it is still unclear who will benefit.
Anyway, she did get the silver in her hands, which allowed her people to live and work in peace and contentment, and that was enough!
As for that stupid achievement, who cares?
Lin Siyu was stunned for a long time at Yu Jiuer's reaction. Shouldn't ordinary people who were taken advantage of by others have their self-esteem damaged and be eager to regain their face?
Why is this county magistrate so different?
She thought he would join forces with her to ruin the marriage between the two countries!
"If you haven't practiced well enough, go back and practice again. Don't think of others with your own fixed ideas! Everything has two sides, and the good and the bad all depend on the individual. Go back and continue to fight with the Miao princess! Gu worms are not easy to get rid of! Especially the Gu worms from Miao!"
After saying this, Yu Jiuer strode away.
Deep down, I still feel a little hurt.
Is he really just using her without any friendship at all?
Before she knew it, Yu Jiuer had walked into the park.
At this time, the autumn wind is blowing, and the fiery red maple leaves in the park are falling down, covering the ground with a layer of red carpet, just like rolling flames! Walking between two rows of maple trees, reaching out to catch the falling red leaves, it is like a fairyland.
Looking ahead, you can see the emerald green Tianming Lake, and beyond the lakeshore are hot springs and mountains.
The fiery red against the backdrop of green mountains and clear water is so breathtakingly beautiful.
Her Yinshan County had unknowingly become so beautiful and was getting closer and closer to her desired goal. Why should she care too much?
Thinking of this, Yu Jiuer suddenly understood.
I almost let that emotion lead me into a dead end, which was really wrong.
She was in a good mood and walked around again to feel the results of her hard work.
Just when he was feeling complacent and proud, Cheng An suddenly rushed forward, knelt down and said, "Report - Sir, something bad has happened! The Western Regions have invaded and used explosives to blow up the Great Wall. A big hole has been blown in the Great Wall, and all the soldiers in the West Gate Camp are trying to stop them!"
"What?" Yu Jiuer's heart skipped a beat. Her Yinshan County had finally gotten back on track and everything was finally developing in a good direction. She didn't want history to repeat itself!
"Does the Yulin Army know about this? Let them be on guard!" Yu Jiuer said as she ran towards the stables of the county government office, "Prepare the horses, I want to go to the Xiguan Camp!"
"Sir, General Cheng sent someone to tell you to wait for news in the county and not to take risks by going to Xiguanying!" Cheng An's voice was a little hurried. "Three thousand cavalrymen have gone to help. You are not as good as them in martial arts, so don't go!"
Yu Jiuer ran and cursed: "You idiot, how can the eggs remain intact when the nest is overturned? Since I caused a big disturbance in the Western Regions last time, they have been waiting so long to attack. I'm afraid they have received strong support from overseas, otherwise how dare they invade again? I must go!"
"Sir! Please wait for me!" Cheng An knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to run up to help.
Mounting on the horse, Yu Jiuer instructed Yueying: "Go to the Forest Palace to see if the Madam and the others are safe. The Western Regions are invading. Although they are far away from there, they are still outside the Great Wall. We can't take it lightly!"
Yueying said, "The Forest Palace should be fine. If anything happens, Shadow will light a smoke alarm. I have observed the situation over there and there is nothing unusual! Let me stay by your side to protect you!"
Yu Jiuer had a bad feeling in her heart. She was worried because she couldn't confirm it in person, so she gave a firm order: "Do as you say! Go to the palace!"
"Slave, obey your command!"
Yu Jiuer rode at full speed to the Xiguan Camp, which was in chaos. Fortunately, the Western Region soldiers had been driven away.
"Is the loss serious?" Yu Jiuer asked Cheng Ming.
Cheng Ming put his hands on his waist and said, "No matter how serious it is, it is not as serious as the Western Region soldiers. They have lost at least 500 people."
Mr. Rong sighed, "The damaged part of the Great Wall is not considered a loss, right? You can't just look at the casualties right in front of you. This time, they attacked us in broad daylight. It's really abominable! We always expected that they wouldn't dare to attack us in broad daylight, but we let our guard down. Now we're suffering, right?"
Yu Jiuer asked: "You said they used explosives to blow up the Great Wall? Isn't it said that the Great Wall is strong and the power of explosives is not enough to destroy the Great Wall? How come there was a hole in it today?"
In fact, she had already guessed in her heart that the people from the Western Regions might have purified the explosives to a higher concentration, and the explosives they made were far more powerful than before.
Mr. Rong frowned and muttered, "Who knows what powerful weapons they have brought back from overseas?"
"Your martial arts skills are so poor that you can't even beat me. You'd better go back first! Don't cause trouble here!" General Cheng pushed Yu Jiuer out of the door.
"Who said that we must use force to deal with people from the Western Regions? We went to the Western Regions together before. When did you see me use force to subdue them?" She finally arrived at the front line, how could she be willing not to do something?
But before she could come up with any ideas, Cheng An suddenly rushed in: "Sir, there is thick smoke over there in the palace, I'm afraid the young masters are in danger!"
"Bang!" Yu Jiuer's heart seemed to be hit by a heavy object and she suddenly felt difficulty breathing!
Nothing must happen to her child!
Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through her mind. Why did the people from the Western Regions rush up to blow up a hole in broad daylight and fight a battle with no certainty?
No, they are making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!
Their target is children!
