Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 182: Marrying the Princess (15)

Seven years later…

"Big sister, here, here."

A woman in red got off the horse skillfully. She was holding a whip and waving it gently towards Ji Shu in the distance.

The person who was about to leave walked up quickly and said excitedly, "Big Sister, Mother said you would definitely come. Fortunately, you are not late, otherwise I would ignore you."

"Sister, please come with me."

"Sister, you can't leave now. I'll come to find you when I have the chance."

Gu Yuxi touched the little boy's head, touched the little girl's face, bowed to Ji Shu, and pleaded: "Master, you really have to leave!"

"Yuxi, the current situation is turbulent, so you should make some plans early."

After a moment of silence, Gu Yuxi said, "Master, I am the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. This kind of thing is not something I can decide."

"Well, then we can only pray that you are safe and sound. We are going to Linxi City."

"Master, when the nest is destroyed, how can the eggs remain intact? This situation is likely to be unchangeable."

Ji Shu held back her sadness, thinking about how her father had joined the army and made a great career, but now the world is like this...

"Perhaps you are right. A minister is a capable minister in a peaceful era, and a hero is a hero in a chaotic era. Your Majesty is now critically ill, and those eunuchs are in control of the government. This country is no longer a country, which really makes many military generals feel cold."

Gu Yuxi was silent. This really chilled the hearts of the generals. The number of people who could lead troops to fight in Dongli Kingdom could be counted on one's fingers. The overthrow of this dynasty would happen overnight.

"Let's not talk about that, Master. Here are some things I prepared for you. I hope you can use them when the time comes."

"After waiting for so long, I finally got these pills. My dear disciple, all good things must come to an end. Farewell is the beginning of our next meeting."

"I look forward to meeting you next time, Master."

After watching Ji Shu and others leave, Gu Yuxi got on the horse. A lot of things happened in the past few years: three years ago, the Xili Kingdom and the Dongli Kingdom officially went to war, and Dongli suffered heavy losses, so ceding land and paying compensation was a piece of cake.

After Xili left, other large and small countries came, and the crisis of Dongli became apparent. How could the scholars who went into the battlefield to kill the enemy defeat the battle-hardened army?

The Emperor of Dongli was getting thinner and thinner. When the civil and military officials met and accepted advice, they were represented by those few people. The final result was always the same: compensation, marriage...

"drive!"

Looking at the foreigners coming and going, she wondered who would be taken away as a bride this time, but it would not be her, after all, she had a good relationship with the eunuchs in the palace.

But this cannot change the fact that Dongli is in imminent danger. Dongli has already lost half of its territory.

Now the enemies around us have only verbally agreed to a ceasefire, but it will not last for many years.

After all, foreigners can come and go freely in Dongli now, so she can do business secretly, especially the business of cold weapons and horses. After all, those guys in the space will be sold in the end.

She had just returned from Yingci Tower and had seen Ji Shu off. Now she was riding a horse to the post station. After all, Gu Xinyue's life there was having a hard time now.

A year ago, Liao Ruinian led his troops to kill dozens of enemy soldiers despite obstruction, but was criticized by the generals above.

Because this was the time when Dongli and other countries were about to make peace. The morale of the army was high and everyone wanted to go into battle and kill the enemy, even if they had to die on the battlefield, wrapped in their horse's hide and left exposed in the wilderness.

"This is outrageous, Captain Liao. You dispatched troops without permission, and His Majesty is furious. Considering that you have made contributions, the death penalty can be spared. I can only demote you to the post station chief."

The general valued talent, but he could not change the outcome, so he used his connections to eventually demote Liao Ruinian to the position of stationmaster and made him a manager at the Kyoto Post Station.

Liao Ruinian had only two subordinates at his disposal: an old man with white hair and a deaf man with not very flexible ears.

The post station was not a place for them to live, so they could only live in a straw hut built nearby with the horse breeders.

"Mom, my aunt is here!"

Gu Yuxi hugged her nephew and said with a smile: "Auntie brought you something good today."

"Aunt, you are the best."

Gu Xinyue, wearing coarse cloth, took the things handed over by Gu Yuxi and said ashamedly: "Sister, I have to trouble you again."

"We are all family, so it's no problem. Sister, you have worked hard these past few years. Now that you have returned to Kyoto, it won't be difficult for us to meet."

Liao Ruinian washed his hands and came over. Gu Yuxi asked, "Brother-in-law, how have you been these days?"

"Okay, all is well, but it's a pity that this foolish act of serving the country has no way to be realized."

Gu Yuxi whispered: "Brother-in-law, if a country is not a country, we can only preserve our strength and choose the good ones to follow."

"Sister, please stop saying such treasonous words. I am from Dongli, so just say these words to me. Don't let others hear them."

"Then I won't say anything. My sister is unlucky to follow you. The people who went with you have been promoted and made a fortune, while you are just standing here watching silently. And... "

"Sister, stop talking."

Gu Yuxi looked at the silent Liao Ruinian. Being born at the wrong time but having full of ambitions was a sin in Dongli.

"Stationmaster, there are still a few horses here that have not been taken care of."

"This horse is a top-quality BMW gifted to the Governor-General, but it is wild and difficult to tame. They are already urging it to be tamed."

"Where is this horse trainer?"

"I fell off my horse a few days ago and was kicked by the horse a few times. Now I am lying in bed."

"Then clean up the other horses first."

Liao Ruinian took the tools and went to bathe the horse again. She collected her thoughts and said with a smile: "Hey, I won't say anything more. Sister, let me feel your pulse?"

Gu Xinyue sat down and touched her belly lovingly. It was a pity that the child would have to suffer with them after he was born.

"The baby is fine. We will meet again in a few months."

"I don't know if this is a boy or a girl."

"Whether it's a boy or a girl, I will spoil you from now on. By the way, I brought you some delicious pastries. They won't taste good if they get cold."

When the food box was opened, a fragrant smell wafted out and the little boy's eyes sparkled, which amused Gu Yuxi.

"Next time, I'll bring you something else."

"Thank you, auntie."

Gu Yuxi touched her belly, and Gu Xinyue joked: "You are so disrespectful, you should restrain yourself, otherwise you won't be able to get married."

"It's good not to be married. I'll find a husband who can take care of my mother and come to see my sister. You'll be free too."

Gu Xinyue looked at the carefree and happy Gu Yuxi, and sometimes she envied her sister: she had been free since she was a child, and she and her mother gave her confidence. She hoped that she could always live happily like this.

"The envoys couldn't run fast when they saw you running like this. Now you have a bad reputation. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

"Sister, there is no escaping the disaster. If I were weak, I would have been sent to marry a foreign prince long ago."

"I heard that several envoys have come to the country to seek marriage. I wonder who the noble lady they are sending will be?"

"Who knows? When there is no one left to marry, I don't know what they will give as a gift."

The two chatted for a while, and Gu Yuxi was about to leave when a tall and mighty black horse suddenly jumped out of the fence and ran away.
