Chapter 77: My Heart
"Sister, don't be too careful, the girl is just feeling it for a moment." Sophia immediately understood and quickly stroked her slender hand and pressed the naked shoulders of the girl who was waiting to get up, and stopped Situ Yushuang's apology with a smile.
"But sister, don't be too worried. At least the empire has achieved a gratifying victory, and the situation in the north has greatly eased. The people in the imperial capital can breathe a sigh of relief. The news media took the opportunity to promote morale and people's hearts and may be the arrangement of the central government of the empire, and this has a reasonable side." Sophia sat down next to Situ Yushuang while patiently comforting the other party.
"This sister also knows that appropriate and even slightly exaggerated publicity is necessary, and she is not so short-sighted. But look, not only are all media clamoring to eliminate the rebels in March and May and mislead the people's thoughts, but even many ministers in the court were spreading. They all believe that the imperial army only showed its strength this time, and the Taiping Rebellion Army was able to capture it, and then the war in the future will be unstoppable and smooth sailing. How can such a good thing be in the world?! The Taiping Cult has been hidden for more than ten years and can be taken into the capital of a thousand miles of country in a flash. It will be defeated so easily. Wouldn't this be a huge joke?" Speaking of this, Situ Yushuang felt even more sad.
Sophia has also read a lot of news media reports about the Battle of Qinghe in the Empire these days. It is truly vivid, with flowers and a sound of praise. Almost no one mentioned the losses suffered by the imperial army. It seemed that overnight, the imperial army became an invincible and victorious army that was invincible and invincible. She completely forgot how the imperial army in Kansai collapsed in just over a dozen days. Two divisions fled out of Kansai, and the entire Guansai was suddenly given to the Taiping Rebellion Party. She also felt that the imperialist media reported in these aspects was inaccurate, but perhaps the politics of the central government needed to be considered, and she could not doubt it.
Neither of them was talking about this issue, but they just silently stretched out their slender hands to fiddle with the fiery red charcoal on the charcoal basin. The two beautiful but distinct white jade faces were slightly red by the warm heat. They were dark and shiny eyes, and a pair of light gray and clear eyes. They were truly autumn chrysanthemums and spring orchids, and they were all in the air.
"Sister, in your opinion, the empire is still very dangerous now?" Sophia broke the silence.
"Well, although the victory of the Qinghe Battle has been slightly reversed, the Taiping Rebellion Party has been deeply rooted in the north, especially the countryside, and it is their world. It will not be a matter of one day or one night to uproot them." With a sigh, Situ Yushuang was like an elder who was well versed in the world, with deep and dark eyes, looking at the brazier steadily. "The situation in Kansai is even more complicated. The empire has been unable to make a contribution here for a long time, which will definitely give some ambitious people an opportunity to take advantage of it. Since the empire is no longer able to control this place, they will definitely take it as a matter of taking advantage of it, and can also announce to the world with confidence that we came to defeat the rule of the Taiping Rebellion Army, but they are taking the opportunity to expand their power in their hearts."
"Sister is talking about Li Wufeng?" Sophia's mouth showed a naughty and slightly mysterious smile.
"It's not just Li Wufeng. This guy now controls Queqiao Pass but does not move his troops. Instead, he attacks Lu Long northward. Although he has not received the order from the empire, Lu Long's situation was indeed very dangerous at that time. This guy was really lucky. He defeated the partial division of the Taiping Rebellion Army in an instant. With Lu Long's Mansion as a support, even the Taiping Rebellion Army is like a lake, and he doesn't rush to grab his edge." Although he is still full of disgust with Li Wufeng, Situ Yushuang envies this guy for his particularly good luck and has to recognize the good combat effectiveness of the opponent's army. Otherwise, it would be impossible for any army to cross the Liupanshan area and accidentally give the enemy a fatal blow.
"Sister means `````````````. Sophia reacted very quickly, but she still didn't believe it. Although the Lin Lang family in the south had aspirations to plot against the Central Plains, it was not long before they annexed the territory in the south, and it would take some time to consolidate it. Secondly, after all, if you don't have the imperial order, you will send troops to Guanxi without authorization, and I'm afraid you have to worry about the imperial reaction.
"Well, that's right, it's the two families in the south. Girl, don't think of those people too kindly. In the face of interests, all normal people's thinking will be left behind. The so-called "wind" sentence is the explanation of the best results. Look at it. It won't take long before these two families will expose their hideous faces." Situ Yushuang smiled bitterly when she said this.
"But if I were both of them, I would wait for the Empire and the Taiping Army to fight a few more battles before both sides were injured before they could reap the benefits." He didn't care that his words might hurt the other party's self-esteem, so Sophia shook her head and disagreed with the other party's opinion.
Situ Yushuang looked at the girl in surprise, and was also a little surprised that the other party could see this, but she had his own reasons: "There are two reasons here. I judge that they will quickly touch each other. First, they are worried that the empire will not be able to solve the Taiping Rebellion Army. If time is delayed, the increasingly stable rule of the Taiping Rebellion Army will bring greater trouble to their future actions; second, if one of them takes the lead and the other goes back, they may think that one of them will inevitably get greater benefits. Based on the second point alone, neither of these two families will wait too long."
Situ Yushuang's analysis of the human nature of those who are interested in profit is very insightful, and she can see the ideas of the Lin Lang family thoroughly. Unfortunately, there is only one listener. If there are other people who are well versed in current affairs, they will be amazed by her analysis.
"Will the situation in Kansai worsen further?" Sophia asked with a frown.
"It's hard to say how to change, but no matter how it changes, it doesn't seem to be beneficial to the empire. If Taiping Sect is a tiger, Lin Lang's family is a wolf. It's not a good thing for the empire to fall into any of them." Situ Yushuang seemed to remember something when she said this.
"Sister, why not let the Taiping Sect and Lin Lang's family fight to the death. The Empire is just sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight?" Sophia felt very sharp. As soon as Situ Yushuang showed a thoughtful look, she thought of this.
Nodded slightly, Situ Yushuang's face was complicated, and she said for a while: "To be honest, this seems to be a good idea. I am afraid that when both sides are exhausted and the empire is declining, it will be a waste of time to make the man who is eyeing him." Situ Yushuang had a delicate heart and thought about everything very carefully.
"Sister, if the Lin Lang family really invaded the north, then these two families are really the empire's confidant enemies. I personally think that Li Wufeng may not be the biggest threat to the empire. Whether it is the victory of the Taiping Army or the occupation of Guansi by Lin Lang family, it may be much more threatening and dangerous to the empire." Sophia felt a little fever on her face when she said this. This was not the warm influence of the brazier, but an indescribable feeling. Although she had never seen Li Wufeng, from the bottom of her heart, she always had an idea that she did not want to see the relationship between the empire and Li Wufeng was too tense. Why did she have such thoughts? Even she herself could not explain clearly.
Fearing that Situ Yushuang would notice the true thoughts in her heart, Sophia quickly lowered her head and tried her best to maintain her normal state after saying this.
However, her concerns were completely redundant. Situ Yushuang was really considering the opinions she put forward. "My sister, what you said makes sense. Maybe I personally feel too disgusted with Li Wufeng and always list him as the most dangerous enemy, so it affected my judgment. However, I have never dealt with this person and I don't know what kind of person this person is at all. Maybe this is a mistake from my sister. If you have the chance, you must see what kind of person this guy is." Situ Yushuang showed an interest in Li Wufeng for the first time.
"Yes, sister, you should at least understand what kind of person this guy who almost became your fiancé is." Sophia also smiled, and her dazzling smile made Situ Yushuang admire him.
"By the way, sister, I have an idea in my heart. I wonder if I am interested?" Sophia smiled and said with a slightly serious look.
"Oh? What's your thoughts?" Situ Yushuang couldn't help asking when she saw the other party showing a slight serious look.
"My sister is thinking that Li Wufeng can win repeatedly and even defeat strong enemies. He must have his own advantages. It may be a bit unreasonable to rely on his luck. I want to go to the northwest in your name. First, let's see what Li Wufeng is extraordinary, second, let's learn about the real situation in the northwest, third, I also want to talk to him on behalf of my sister to see if he is a loyal and courageous empire hero or a hero with ulterior motives as my sister calls it, and also to give advice on how her sister will deal with it in the future." Sophia tried her best to maintain a calm look, only her pounding heart and slightly trembling fingers exposed her true thoughts.
Situ Yushuang was stunned and then showed a thoughtful look. She did not notice the other party's slight loss of composure. She pondered for a while before saying, "But I heard that this guy is lustful and lustful. In addition, the road to the west is also controlled by the Taiping Rebellion Army. I am afraid that you will make any mistakes when you go."
After hearing Situ Yushuang's words, Sophia was relieved. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "The girl thinks there is nothing to worry about. Although Li Wufeng is lustful, he has never heard of any bad deeds in forcing girls. Besides, I am on your behalf, so he has to sell some thin spots. As for the road to the west, although the Taiping Rebellion Army controlled the road, it was said that it did not block the traffic. It was just a little stricter, and it was mainly concentrated on the main trade routes. Others did not have much impact. I think it would be acceptable to dress up slightly, so sister should not worry too much."
