The royal family reads her mind, and the cannon fodder daughter creates the Feihou Mansion

However, after ten years of deployment and infiltration by my father and eldest brother, some drawbacks have begun to emerge.

The military camp at the Xidi border.

Under Song Yunxi's treatment, the poison in General Dingguo's body has been cleared and he has regained consciousness. Although he is still a little weak, his life is safe.

Qin Liran was furious: "When did the Western Di people become so shameless? They actually used such a sinister poison."

The Xidi people were a nation on horseback, and they were always brave and good at fighting. But in the past they fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, they have now learned to use poison to attack secretly.

"No wonder they are becoming increasingly useless in front of the two armies."

This time when she came to Xidi, she realized that although Xidi's military strength seemed strong, compared with more than ten years ago, its combat effectiveness had been greatly weakened.

It turned out that he had been concentrating on using poison.

Song Yunxi naturally did not tell her that this result was the result of Song Wentian's painstaking efforts.

How easy is it to make a martial nation like the Xidi value culture over military affairs and to make them exclude military generals in the court?

But subtle influence is the most deadly, especially when there is a scheming big brother involved, it simply makes things twice as difficult with half the effort.

I heard that the Emperor of Xidi has been cutting military supplies again and again in recent years, and even stopped adding fine steel to the forging of weapons. Instead, he used fine steel as a resource to trade with Nanyue and Beichu in exchange for gold and silver.

Therefore, over the years, the treasury of Xidi has been full, but the combat effectiveness of the army has become weaker and weaker.

This is what they call false prosperity!

Qin Liran said to Ye Xuanqi with great concern: "There is still no clue about your uncle, and I don't know..."

She didn't say anything else because she didn't want to think of the worst.

Her brother had been through many battles, and she would never believe that he would be tricked by the Xidi people.

Ye Xuanqi looked at Song Yunxi, and the two of them looked at each other. Song Yunxi nodded to him, and Ye Xuanqi leaned close to Qin Liran's ear and whispered something. Qin Liran's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"really?"

Ye Xuanqi nodded: "So mother, don't worry."

The way he addressed Qin Liran changed. Now she was just his mother, and no longer the queen who once shouldered many responsibilities and missions.

Song Yunxi lowered her voice and said to Qin Liran: "But aunt, the search for General Qin cannot stop, and your emotions..."

"I understand, I understand everything!"

Qin Liran restrained his emotions: "Don't worry, hiding my emotions is what I am best at."

Xidi East Palace.

Crown Prince Jin Yiting looked at the calm man in front of him and finally lost his temper: "General Qin, my father is getting more and more disgusted with me now, and he even handed over a lot of power in my hands to the boss. If this continues, I, the crown prince, will be sidelined sooner or later."

And if this continues, it won’t be long before the eldest brother will replace him and become the new crown prince of Xidi.

Qin Lishu was unmoved: "That depends on how much father-son affection the Western Emperor has for the eldest prince."

The eldest prince of Xidi, Jin Yichen, was defeated in the battle for the throne because he was the eldest son but not the legitimate heir. However, as the power of Crown Prince Jin Yiting continued to grow, the Emperor of Xidi, as a king, became worried and suspicious that he would not allow anyone else to sleep beside his bed.

After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The Emperor of Xidi is in his prime, so how could he allow his son to be stronger than himself?

Therefore, he turned around and began to support the eldest prince, whom he once looked down upon, and made him confront the crown prince.

It has to be said that although this approach is old-fashioned, it is extremely effective. In just three years, Jin Yichen was built up.

Watching his two sons fighting each other, Emperor Xidi was happy to see the benefits.

Jin Yiting knew that her indifference to Qin Lishu made him unhappy, so she didn't care about being arrogant. She stood up and bowed respectfully to Qin Lishu: "I hope General Qin will not take it personally."

Seeing his respectful and humble attitude, Qin Lishu knew that the time was ripe. He put down the teacup he was playing with, stood up and helped Qin Lishu up: "Your Highness, I am too polite. This general cannot bear it."

Jin Yiting said sincerely: "General Qin, please give me some advice!"

He knew that Qin Lishu must have had ill intentions towards Xidi when he took the risk to come and see him, but what did it matter?

At least at this stage, it is still worthwhile to lose some of Xidi's interests in exchange for securing his position as crown prince or even ascending the throne.

As for Qin Lishu, and the Qin family and Jin Anchao behind him, it would not be too late to settle accounts with them with interest after he succeeds to the throne in the future.

How could Qin Lishu not know what he was thinking? But for Qin Lishu, Jin Yiting's plan had nothing to do with him in the future, and it posed no threat at all.

So he smiled calmly and asked Jin Yiting: "Your Highness, do you want to get rid of the predicament temporarily, or do you want to solve it once and for all?"

Jin Yiting subconsciously asked back: "What does General Qin mean?"

Seeing the meaningful smile on Qin Lishu's lips, Jin Yiting immediately understood what he meant.

After only a moment's silence, he made his choice without any hesitation: "I want to solve this problem once and for all."

Make it impossible for Jin Yichen to turn things around.

His choice seemed to have been expected by Qin Lishu. He smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness is wise."

Qin Lishu recalled the secret conversation he had with Song Wentian and Qin Xubai the night before he left the capital.

They asked him to find a time to meet with Jin Yiting and try every possible means to help Jin Yiting secure his position as crown prince and even ascend to the throne.

Compared with Jin Yichen, who is ruthless and only wants to restore the power of military generals, Jin Yiting, who is selfish, likes to pretend to be cultured, and is deeply brainwashed by Jin'an literati. The ascension of Jin Yiting, who values ​​literature over military affairs, is more beneficial to the Jin'an Dynasty.

So when the two armies were fighting on the battlefield, he took advantage of the chaos to be injured and disappeared, and secretly contacted the people on the list Qin Xubai gave him. He not only successfully sneaked into Xidi Tiancheng, but also successfully entered the East Palace and met Jin Yiting.

Jin Yiting was on guard against him at first and even ignored him and never met him, but Qin Yishu was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he secretly met with an important official of the court who had infiltrated Xidi for many years.

With their help, it was no surprise that Qin Yiting was defeated step by step and was no match for Qin Yichen. Qin Yiting was indeed anxious.

As expected, everything was under control. Qin Lishu whispered the plan. Qin Yiting suppressed his excitement and carefully confirmed: "Is this plan feasible?"

Qin Lishu said calmly, "Your Highness, if we kill someone with a borrowed knife, even if the truth is revealed, you will never be contacted. Your Highness can even put the blame on us, father and son. Why not do it?"

Jin Yiting was very excited: "Okay, let's do as General Qin said!"

Jin Yichen never dreamed that he would see Song Yunxi again on the streets of Tiancheng, and she seemed to be more beautiful than before.

"Miss, we meet again!"

Song Yunxi's eyes flashed with surprise and she smiled: "My Lord, long time no see."
