Section 108 Face to face
Seeing that the other party turned his army, Situ Yutang smiled slightly, and his beautiful and innocent face exuded a seductive charm. Wufeng, who was observing the other party, also felt a thunderous heart.
After pursing the cherry red lips, Situ Yutang put down the teacup in his hand and said casually: "Who is the military and political governor of the Northwest and the Governor of Northern Luzon? It seems that it is not me. This decision should be made by you. Can the opinions and pressure of outsiders change your decision? It seems that my fiancé is not such a person?"
Faced with the other party's counterattack with a needle hidden in the cotton, Wufeng sighed secretly. No matter what, the girl in front of him can be called a peerless beauty with wise appearance. It's a pity that she was born in the Situ family. As a member of the royal family, perhaps the royal interests are what this girl values the most. A complicated look flashed in Wufeng's eyes.
"Well, it seems that Yutang, you really know your future husband. No one can change the decision I made, but it involves the interests of the northwest. This is also a question that I, Li Wufeng, must pay attention to. Once the situation in the battle of Essellock deteriorates or even falls completely, do you think it will not endanger the safety of the northwest? The Kaman wolf ambitions, will the next goal be the northwest? Wei Yu, it is also necessary to do some precautionary work." Wufeng answered the other party slowly.
"I don't know much about military affairs, but I know that the people in the Derlock family are still in the Derlock. Even if the Kamans occupied Derlock, they would not be able to digest it for a while, and it is rare for them to rule. At this time, they should not be able to spend much energy to expand outward. It is already rare to be able to control the Derlock situation. You must know that the Derlock royal family has ruled Derlock for hundreds of years." Situ Yutang said calmly, but he raised objections to Wufeng's plan in his words. "At present, the stubborn and unscrupulous rioters of the Taiping Cult are deceived by fools and vulgar men, and their power is expanding at an astonishing speed. If you are more energy, why don't you find a way to curb the development momentum of these guys who are not enough to redeem their sins?"
It's here, and finally here. This is probably the main purpose of his fiancée's frequent visits to see him these days? Wufeng's face was calm, but he sneered in his heart. He thought she had changed his personality. It turned out that he was going around and back to how to safeguard the interests of the empire. To put it bluntly, he just wanted his army to attack the Taiping Army to relieve the pressure on the empire.
"Yutang, your words are a bit abrupt. To curb the development of the Taiping Rebellion Party? How can I curb it? Should I send troops to advance eastward? Or to clear out the Taiping cult forces in the northwest? If it were the latter, I had already implemented it. As for the former, I sent troops to assist Lord Mifengmi to defend Lulong Mansion, and it seemed that it had not received praise from all the important officials in the court. Some ministers even said that I was overthrowing power without authorization. Hehe. At this time, I would be in trouble, aren't it okay to find trouble?" Wufeng looked indignant.
"Oh? But I heard that the criticism of the ministers in the court did not seem to be directed at the Northwest Army to defend Lu Long? It should be directed at you by taking a sudden attack, right?" Situ Yutang's face was also unpredictable.
"Hmph, what's the difference? The Taiping Rebellion Army has occupied Longdong Prefecture and Queqiao Pass is about to fall. If we hadn't made a quick decision, wouldn't this Queqiao Pass fall into the hands of the Taiping Rebellion Party?" Wu Feng felt a stern in his heart. He didn't expect that this girl would have divided these two things so clearly and the information was so accurate. It seemed that her surveillance work had to be strengthened.
"I'm afraid it's different. Lu Long is in a dangerous place, helpless, and faces a great threat to the riot army. Moreover, the local government and garrison have already asked for help from the northwest. It's understandable that you send troops. Queqiao Pass is the military fortress of the empire. Longdong has been falling for a long time, but the northwest has not sent one soldier to assist in defense. It was not until the rebellious army approached and the imperial garrison was defeated before taking advantage of the situation to occupy it. There is an essential difference between the two." Situ Yutang's clear structure and intimateness, and for a moment, blocked Wufeng so much that he had nothing to say.
"Haha, this is all a thing from the past. In short, I am now taking the liberty to send troops to other parts of the empire. I am worried that the emperor of the empire will have a view of me." In desperation, Wufeng had to haha and cover up the embarrassment.
"Do you still care about my father's opinion and feelings?" Situ Yutang glanced at Wufeng with a serious face, but did not continue to say more, but changed the topic. "You think about it yourself. The empire is facing such great difficulties at present. As long as you sincerely work hard to relieve the empire, I don't think my father and the ministers in the court can't see it, but if you have other ideas in your mind, it's a different matter."
"Hehe, Yutang, you may be a bit disgusting. We are unmarried couples at least. No matter how you view this marriage, at least I and the Situ family have already had this relationship. I must do my best to support the affairs of the empire. But you also know that the northwest is limited now, and the surrounding environment is harsh, and foreign enemies are everywhere, so you dare not act rashly. If you are not careful, it will cause a catastrophe to the northwest and Northern Luzon, so you have to act cautiously." Wufeng was not angry at the other party's words, but just explained lightly. He knew that no matter how he explained, he always had to take real actions to win the other party's recognition, but this seemed a little difficult.
"Practice caution? What are you going to deal with the Gerok problem? Now the beautiful and generous Princess Anne is already sitting in your house waiting for you. Isn't she here to ask for help?" She coldly swept the other side of Wufeng, who was safe and sound. Situ Yutang's nameless fire started from her heart, and she had the energy and strength to the Gerok situation, but she pushed the imperial requirements and was perfunctory. Could this be her future husband?
"Well, this, everything needs to be discussed in the long run. The situation in the northwest is not completely stable at the moment, and it is greatly impacted by the Taiping Cult. First of all, we must ensure the absolute stability of the situation in the northwest to discuss other things. It is too early to talk about these things at this time." Wufeng cunnedly pushed the topic away and avoided talking about whether he would intervene in the battle of the Geroc.
An inexplicable sorrow surged from my heart. The man in front of me seemed to be far and near, and it was difficult to see clearly for a moment. What kind of heart is hidden under his handsome and sincere face?
Seeing a melancholy and sad look in the other person's eyes, Wufeng felt guilty. Isn't it too much to treat the girl in front of him who is far away from his hometown but still carrying a heavy burden? Is it really that he ignores everyone else's feelings for the interests of the so-called Northwest? Do you have to do this to be able to be a so-called superior person who is truly the so-called rule of the world? He was also confused.
The room suddenly fell into silence. For a moment, both of them were influenced by the sentimental feelings that suddenly surged into their hearts. They were speechless. After a long time, Wufeng broke the silence: "Yutang, tell me the truth. At this time, do you think that your future husband is such a hypocrite who is extremely selfish and only cares about his own interests?"
"If you have a clear conscience, why fear other people's opinions? I'm afraid you should know what you do and what you think deep in your heart?" Situ Yutang tried his best to stabilize his emotions and answered the other party in a deep tone: "How do you view your own behavior?"
"How do I think of myself?" Wu Feng let out a sigh of relief and nodded slightly, "Yes, how do I think of myself? I think that my own actions are always for the interests of the people of all walks of life in my territory, and all actions are centered around trusting and relying on the interests of the people of my territory who are trusting and relying on me. I think I should have a clear conscience on this point." Wu Feng replied leisurely, looking at the window, and his eyes looked a little sad.
"But you are the governor appointed by the Empire and belong to the vassal of the Empire. You are the first of all the subjects of the Empire, so you can talk about anything else! Can you ignore the interests of the Empire just for the interests of the people of your so-called territory, and even harm the interests of the people of your territory? Don't forget that you were appointed by the central government of the Empire, and your territory is only part of the Empire. If the Empire gives you such high trust and treatment, can your behavior be worthy of everything the Empire has given you?" Situ Yutang also became a little angry. It turned out that this guy actually regarded the interests of his territory above everything else. Perhaps only he dared to make such a frank and public statement.
"Ho ho, I'm a minister of the empire. I admit that His Majesty the Emperor is not bad to me, but I think everything I have done should not disappoint His Majesty the Emperor's expectations for me. But it seems that all this seems to have changed after I took over the position of Military and Political Military Governor in the Northwest. I have no way to know what the reason is. However, I still want to thank His Majesty the Emperor and his colleagues in the court for their concern for me. When other colleagues are working hard to share His Majesty's worries, I can rest in the imperial capital for more than half a year, allowing my tired body and mind to rest. Yutang, do you think?" Wufeng's tone also became soft and hard, full of sarcasm.
The other party's insidious words made Situ Yutang speechless for a moment, because what the other party said was indeed true. Although many court ministers, including his father, were worried that the power of his fiance would be expanded too quickly, the empire would be difficult to control, and they used the means of granting the title of Duke to keep him in the imperial capital to recuperate, this disguised measure of house arrest and depriving him of control of the territory could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. At that time, the other party was ordered by the Central Committee of the Empire to report his duties, and there was no sign or evidence that the other party had a disguised desire to be unjust. It was only based on some false suspicions and worries that the most popular imperial hero at that time would be brought into the cold palace, which was difficult for the other party to accept, and these complaints were inevitable.
Now, due to the tension in the northwest situation, she had to return to the mountain. She also became a chess piece placed next to the tiger by marriage. But even she herself had no idea how much effect the chess piece could play.
