Bringing love across time and space

In the imperial palace late at night, the moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the golden bricks and jade tiles, reflecting a faint silver glow.

The emperor hurriedly summoned all the civil and military officials in the court to discuss countermeasures.

The lights in the hall were bright, but it was difficult to dispel the heavy haze.

A few days passed, and despite much discussion, no one could come up with a foolproof plan.

However, everyone knew that the root of all this was that the emperor confiscated Prince Chen's property and exiled him.

Now that things have come to this, the matter of King Chen has become a taboo and no one dares to mention it.

Just as everyone fell silent, a general named Liu Haishan stepped forward and offered to serve as the deputy general of the army.

This war was of great significance, and was the largest war fought by the Great Yan State in many years.

Although Liu Haishan has a passion to serve his country, he also knows his own limitations.

He understood that this battle was of great importance and required an experienced general to lead the army.

Therefore, he took the initiative to volunteer and hoped to go to the battlefield as a deputy general.

Seeing this, the emperor was pleased and agreed to Liu Haishan's request.

After discussion among everyone, it was finally decided that General Xiao Yan would serve as the commander-in-chief of this war.

Although Xiao Yan is over 40 and about to enter 50,

But he has fought in many battles, is experienced, brave and resourceful in combat, and is undoubtedly the best candidate for this head coach.

Liu Haishan will serve as the vanguard of the army. He is brave in combat and has a quick mind. He will lead 30,000 soldiers to charge in front of the large army.

In the end, the emperor sent an army of 500,000 to the western border to join Gu Yuchen's original army of more than 400,000.

The moonlight was hazy and the night was inky black. Liu Yuhan received the message from the mysterious woman in the silent night.

Her heartbeat accelerated instantly, as if an irresistible force was driving her to avoid the eyes and ears of everyone and quietly go to the agreed place.

Behind her, Lin Jingyuan's figure followed closely. He silently observed Liu Yuhan's every move, his eyes full of confusion and vigilance.

Liu Yuhan stood at the agreed location, motionless, as if waiting for something.

Lin Jingyuan cleverly hid in the tree. His breathing became unusually steady, for fear that his presence would be discovered by the mysterious woman.

At this moment, a light breeze blew by, and a veiled woman appeared in front of Liu Yuhan like a ghost.

Her appearance was so sudden that Lin Jingyuan couldn't see how she walked out of the darkness.

When Liu Yuhan saw the woman appear, her legs went limp and she knelt on the ground.

Her voice was trembling as she said to the woman, "Master, the Gu I planted on Lin Qingya could not enter her heart no matter what. Now, the Gu is about to break out of her body and the situation is critical."

The woman frowned, obviously feeling incredible about this. She thought for a moment and told Liu Yuhan:

"You need to find a way to use the mother Gu to lure out the baby Gu, and don't let Lin Qingya and the others know. I'm afraid this baby Gu can't survive. I'll study it carefully when I get back. You need to be more cautious in the future."

Liu Yuhan lowered her head and accepted the order, her heart filled with helplessness and fear.

After the mysterious woman and Liu Yuhan left, Lin Jingyuan jumped down from the tree and let out a long breath.

He heard the conversation between Liu Yuhan and the woman and secretly felt relieved.

It turned out that he had been worried that Lin Qingya would be harmed by the poisonous insect these days. Now that he knew that the poisonous insect had failed to enter Lin Qingya's heart, the burden in his heart seemed to be lightened a little.

However, Lin Jingyuan's heart was not completely calm.

He knew very well that this mysterious woman and Liu Yuhan had big plans, and their actions must be part of a bigger conspiracy.

He decided to find Lin Qingya, tell her everything, and do his best to protect her.

At the same time, he also wanted to find an outlet to vent his worries and anxieties over the past few days.

So he decided to go find Lin Qingya and ask for some delicious food and drinks to replenish his tired body and mind.

But it’s already late at night, so I can only wait until tomorrow to find a chance!

The next day, Lin Qingjiao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion accompanied by King Yao.

The Prime Minister and his wife were already waiting outside the door, their faces filled with joy and anticipation.

In the past, Lin Qingjiao and King Yao had an unpleasant experience when they went back to their parents' home three days ago because of a quarrel between the two of them. She was worried, so she did not go back on the pretext of feeling unwell.

Now that she had gained the favor of King Yao, she mustered up the courage to go back to visit her parents. King Yao was also generous and gladly accompanied her.

The Prime Minister and his wife were extremely respectful to Prince Yao and after a few polite words, they welcomed him into the palace.

The Prime Minister invited King Yao to his study, which was elegantly decorated and filled with the fragrance of books.

He cautiously spoke to King Yao about the upcoming military expedition, and suggested that King Yao pretend to be sick and poor and stay out of it.

After hearing this, King Yao smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he was a prince, his treasury was empty, so why should he pretend to be poor? However, he still nodded in agreement to show his respect for the prime minister.

Then, the prime minister talked about the situation in the court and mentioned several forces that were worth winning over.

Finally, he mentioned Gu Yuchen with a serious expression, saying that this person must be eliminated.

However, King Yao didn't care about Gu Yuchen. He just felt that this person posed no threat at the moment, so he nodded perfunctorily.

The Prime Minister knew King Yao's character very well, and he also understood what was in his mind, but he could not let go of the Prime Minister's intuitive warning to Gu Yuchen.

He knew very well that although Gu Yuchen had his property confiscated and was exiled and demoted to a commoner, he was a man with great ambitions and deep scheming, and would become a great threat in the future.

However, the Prime Minister knew that he could not convince King Yao based on intuition and premonition alone.

He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that King Yao would be able to see Gu Yuchen's true face as soon as possible to avoid a disaster in the future.

And Lin Qingjiao was in her mother's room, having a private conversation with her mother!

While Gu Yuchen was having lunch, he received a pigeon message from his subordinates and learned the latest situation in the Western Frontier.

He understood that he had to hurry on his way and discuss countermeasures with everyone in the evening.

Gu Yuchen knew the emperor's intentions very well, and he was unwilling to let his soldiers become the emperor's pawns.

He also knew that the emperor would definitely send his own people to fight first, which would undoubtedly kill two birds with one stone.

The soldiers brought by Gu Yuchen are all experienced and brave warriors. Their existence is a solid barrier for the western border of the Great Yan Kingdom.

It was precisely because of the protection of Gu Yuchen and these soldiers that the Western Regions did not take the opportunity to invade Dayan.

However, now that Gu Yuchen's property had been confiscated and he had been exiled, these soldiers could not help but feel dissatisfied.

They are no longer as devoted to the emperor as before, which also lays hidden dangers for the upcoming war.

Gu Yuchen knew all of this very well, and he would never let the emperor's conspiracy succeed.

He knew that it was not easy to get these soldiers away from the battlefield safely, but he believed that Lin Qingya would be able to find a way.

Although he didn't know what specific tricks Lin Qingya had, he had full faith in Lin Qingya's abilities.

Just as Gu Yuchen was about to reveal the news to Lin Qingya, Liu Shun came again and urged everyone to set off.

While walking, Lin Qingya saw the woman from the Li family also walking in the team, and she couldn't help but feel happy for that woman.

It seems that the woman has recovered, which is undoubtedly good news.

When the woman saw Lin Qingya, she smiled and nodded to her to express her gratitude. Lin Qingya also smiled back.

Gu Yuchen also smiled dotingly when he saw the interaction between Lin Qingya and the woman.

Lin Qingya said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I really want to take you to our place to see how people live there."

Gu Yuchen smiled and replied, "No hurry, I believe it won't take too long."
