An even better idea …
Chang Zaide and the rest looked at each other. They really didn't have a better idea.
But was it possible to borrow soldiers from Yu Qi? Now that the civil war in Yu Qi was about to break out, neither the Empress Dowager nor the young Emperor dared to act rashly. What if the other party misunderstood and started fighting?
Well, this wasn't a problem that the people of Dai Yu State needed to think about.
Chang Zaide finally sighed. He should go and take care of the General. Maybe he would wake up after feeding him more ginseng soup?
Three days later, GongYimo's injuries were slightly better, but Liu Jin and the rest didn't give up. They tried to find GongYimo a few times, but they were evaded by the wetlands and forests. Liu Jin was getting more and more anxious. Although Bai Ji looked better, he didn't show any signs of waking up. GongYimo made a prompt decision to bring Bai Ji to Yu Qi. First, to seek medical treatment. Second, to borrow soldiers!
No matter what, it was the only way.
In the end, they sat in a makeshift carriage. GongYimo and Bai Ji, the two patients, sat in the carriage while Bai Qiyou and Chang Zaide took turns to drive the carriage. They really went to Yu Qi!
With Yu Qi's invitation, GongYimo entered Yu Qi easily. Even Chang Zaide was surprised. He didn't expect that he would be able to enter Yu Qi so openly in his lifetime!
Yu Qi was now under martial law. Entry and exit were strictly prohibited. Now, only the shops that the Prince of Qi had set up in Yu Qi could still operate. The other people had been chased away long ago!
After passing through the checkpoint, GongYimo continued to walk and finally stopped at the border town, Moon City.
Chang Zaide couldn't figure out Gong Yi Mo's thoughts and said, "Princess, the border forces are now divided into two groups. One is controlled by Empress Dowager Yu Qi, and the other is controlled by the little Emperor. You're acting so rashly, where do you want to borrow troops?"
GongYimo shook her head, "It's not appropriate to borrow soldiers from either side. If I borrow from the Emperor, he will be worried that the Empress Dowager's men will take advantage of the situation. If I borrow from the Empress Dowager, she will think the same."
Bai Qiyou was expressionless. Then why did you say that you wanted to borrow soldiers?
GongYimo seemed to see that the two men were very depressed. She stroked Little Monkey and smiled, "Don't you know how to be flexible? We can borrow from both sides!"
Chang Zaide couldn't help but ask. "But you're a guest invited by Emperor Yu Qi …!"
The clearance document just now was Emperor Yu Qi's jade seal, and they had cleared it at the Emperor's border camp. How could the Empress Dowager lend troops to someone who was helping her opponent?
GongYimo giggled. "Where there's a will, there's a way. I've said it from the beginning. How would we know if we don't try?"
Although she said that, she already had a plan in mind. They found a place to stay in Moon City. Then, GongYimo sent a letter to the Emperor of Yu Qi, asking him to meet her!
Yes, she wanted him to come and see her. Since he had a favor to ask of her, how could he not appear?
These few days, Bai Qiyou and the rest were very anxious. Perhaps GongYimo was very anxious, but she still looked calm and composed, as if she had a card up her sleeve.
On the third day, GongYimo finally met the person who wanted to meet her. Unexpectedly, the person who came first was not Si Wuyan, but Empress Dowager Yu Qi.
GongYimo was invited to a private room. When the curtain was lifted, she was surprised to see a graceful and luxurious woman.
She was much younger than when they met in her previous life. She was dressed very delicately from head to toe! Now, she was only in her thirties. She took good care of herself and had power and influence. That kind of nobility was far from what an ordinary lady could have. It was a kind of natural dignity.
Seeing this legendary woman, Gong Yi Mo was surprised but quickly calmed down. In her previous life, she and Empress Dowager Yu Qi had fought several times and could be considered to have a mutual understanding of each other. Gong Yi Mo admired a woman who was able to hold power step by step during the feudal era.
It was just that this Empress Dowager had some wisdom and courage. She just lacked a little benevolence and the ability to rule a country. Otherwise, the civil strife in her previous life would not have lasted for ten years until she fought her way in.
And now that she was here, it proved that in Yu Qi, her power was still stronger than the Emperor. GongYimo gave a junior's greeting.
Empress Dowager Yu Qi, Dong Luanyi, was also sizing up GongYimo.
The clothes she wore were East Continent's snow brocade. Every inch of the brocade was gold. The brocade was gorgeous and under the sun, it shone like pearls. It was beautiful beyond words.
On the other hand, the young lady was dressed very elegantly. But the blue sky after rain was very pleasing to the eye. She took a closer look and found that it was made from the Cloud Sky Brocade that Yuheng could only get once a year. It was low-key and luxurious.
She wore a full set of jewelry on her head. It was made from Nanhai Jin's hundred-year-old Eastern Pearls. The brilliance was restrained and each pearl was worth a thousand gold. But the young lady opposite her only wore a hairpin, but that hairpin was a gorgeous blue color. It was extraordinary. With one look, she could tell that it was Jinxiu Master's Dian Jadeite craftsmanship that was not passed on to outsiders. It was priceless.
With one look, she knew what to do. She had a basic understanding of this young lady who seemed to be low-key and simple, but was actually filled with glory and splendor.
Not to mention that calm temperament, it was a style that she had never seen before.
She thought that there was no woman in the world who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her. But after seeing this young lady who was rumored to have amazing skills, she could not find a trace of inferiority.
So she sighed and said, "Princess is too courteous. Princess came from afar. Aijia came to see you and wanted to do the honors of a host."
GongYimo did not mention at all why she sent a letter to Si Wuyan, but the one who came was her.
After saluting, she sat beside the Empress Dowager and sat at the same level as her. Her dignified manner was not inferior to that of the Empress Dowager.
Dong Luanyi could not help but raise her spirits and said softly, "I wonder what Princess came to Yuqi for?"
GongYimo smiled, revealing her white teeth. "One does not visit a temple without a cause. I came to ask Yuqi for a favor!"
Dong Luanyi expressed her disbelief. Wasn't it Si Wuyan, that brat, who specially invited her to help? How did it become that she had a favor to ask of Yuqi?
GongYimo saw that Dong Luanyi was confused, so she frankly told her what happened at the Longcheng barracks. Then she sighed. "It's embarrassing to say that this is a family matter. But as the saying goes, distant water cannot put out a nearby fire. So, I want to borrow troops from Yuqi!"
Dong Luanyi thought it was funny. Her hibiscus face showed a timely expression of surprise. "Princess, aren't you afraid that it's easy to borrow troops, but in the end, you're inviting a wolf into the house?"
Dong Luanyi did not know if this lass was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. She was honest about the chaotic situation at the borders of Dai Yu State. If she borrowed troops from Yuqi, wouldn't it be easy for Yuqi to directly invade Dai Yu State?
Unexpectedly, GongYimo shook her head. "How could it be inviting a wolf into the house? It's just like if I asked you to borrow troops, you should not refuse! "
"Oh?" Dong Luanyi suppressed her sarcasm and blinked. "Aijia wants to hear Princess's opinion."
