After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Wen Zhimiao faced two cold gazes and stuck out her tongue: "Then don't wear it. Find the jade pendant and I'll help mother return it to him. He will figure it out himself."

Yunzhou:......

She could imagine the nonsense Wen Zhimiao would talk.

"Oh, I won't say anything nonsense. I will give him the jade pendant and then say that my mother said that the new number one scholar looks like an old friend. I will ask him if it is true. If it is true, he will accept it. If not, he will not accept it."

"Although this article has been criticized to death, I also read some things, such as the male protagonist is affectionate. If he is not affectionate, how can he have so many dream girls?"

"So even if the plot has changed, at least for now, this point has not changed. If he didn't like my mother, why would he pretend to be someone else and take the imperial examination? If he didn't like her, why would he try to please me secretly today?"

That makes sense.

Su Qingluo nodded slightly: "Okay."

It wouldn't be wrong to give him back his things.

"I'll just put it on him and let Qi Guyu see it. A proud person like Qi Guyu will definitely be suspicious. Since Qi Guyu knows that Qi Taihong is planning a rebellion, he will be suspicious of him and will investigate."

"Have I accomplished this?" Wen Zhimiao asked loudly.

Su Qingluo held his forehead with his hand, feeling a kind of unreliable and crazy feeling.

But I have to say, it seems to be possible.

"That's all." Su Qingluo waved to Wen Zhimiao: "It's getting late, go back to bed early."

Shen Luoling sent a letter today, but she hasn't had time to read it. Su Qingluo doesn't need to worry about the Dragon Shadow Guard, Yun Zhou will make the arrangements.

But since we have to prepare for the worst, we have to start mobilizing troops now.

Starting from this month, many kings will enter Xuandu one after another. This is Qi Taihong's best opportunity.

Yun Zhou didn't know how to deploy troops and generals, so he could only rely on Su Qingluo to take charge of the overall situation.

During these three years, Qi Taihong was not the only one who kept private soldiers. Su Qingluo also kept a group of private soldiers, but the soldiers she kept were different from ordinary soldiers.

She only employs female soldiers.

The advantage of female soldiers is that no one will suspect them, even if they disguise themselves as civilians and sneak into Xuandu City.

After Wen Zhimiao and Wen Jiuzhao left, Su Qingluo opened the letter from Shen Luoling.

"Luo Ling said that the weapons have been shipped into Xuandu City in batches, and we can start assembling them as soon as the craftsmen arrive." Yun Zhou also took a look.

"There are a total of 1,500 troops entering the city, equipped with the most advanced bows and crossbows, plus the Central Guards and city defense forces under our control. Is that enough?" Yun Zhou did not have a clear idea about this. She knew nothing about marching and fighting.

Su Qingluo smiled and said, "To use soldiers, you don't necessarily need a large number, but you need to use them to the right people. Qi Taihong is good at playing with people's hearts, but he is not very good at using soldiers."

Yun Zhou scratched his head: "I don't quite understand."

"Well, it's okay. I'll think about the layout again. These people will stay in Xuandu City as various workers. You will be responsible for settling them down." Su Qingluo unfolded the map of Xuandu City and studied it carefully.

Yun Zhou didn't dare to disturb her and helped her refill the incense she liked.

I also sat down next to her and continued to accompany her to work overtime.

When Su Qingluo had an idea, she turned to look at Yun Zhou. Yun Zhou was writing a letter to Long Yingwei, and next to him was the action plan she had drawn.

Su Qingluo's eyes fell on it. Although Yun Zhou sometimes had some strange ideas, such as bullying the children of the Qi family.

But overall, he is still a very organized person, which is quite different from Wen Zhimiao.

According to her thinking, it seems that Qi Taihong will not be able to reach the last step, but he has to be on guard, because the ambitions of Qi Taihong's sons may be stronger than his.

When Yun Zhou finished his work, he turned around and met Su Qingluo's eyes.

"Master, have you considered it?" Yun Zhou asked calmly.

Su Qingluo nodded slightly: "Yeah."

She extended her fingertips and touched the blue color under Yun Zhou's eyes: "Have you not had a good rest recently?"

Yun Zhou thought about it and nodded reluctantly. She didn’t want to pretend in front of Su Qingluo.

There have been too many things going on recently, and I have to think about them for a long time before I can fall asleep almost every night.

Su Qingluo reached out and held her in his arms: "Then stay and sleep with me tonight, okay?"

She rested her chin on Yunzhou's shoulder and asked softly.

Yun Zhou smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and his heart seemed to become much calmer.

"I haven't slept well for a long time." Su Qingluo said pitifully.

Yun Zhou couldn't help but hug her back: "Okay."

She agreed very quietly, even with her cheeks slightly red.

In fact, what Wen Zhimiao said was not wrong. In the past three years, they were indeed not as close as they used to be.

Firstly, it was because they knew each other's feelings and there was no need to test each other; secondly, it was because there were so many spies in the palace.

There are many more spies in Zhangtai Palace. Even if you know that the other party is a spies, you can't just get rid of them.

In addition, Yun Zhou has been very busy since he took over the Dragon Shadow Guard.

The time they spend together is almost always work-related.

You must compete with your ministers in wisdom and courage, and consider the livelihood of the people.

Su Qingluo has had almost no free day in the past few years. Yun Zhou saw it, so how could he not help.

Su Qingluo took Yun Zhou to wash up together. Even though it was not the first time, Yun Zhou was still very shy and did not dare to keep his eyes on Su Qingluo for too long.

After washing up, the two of them lay on the bed together. Yun Zhou mustered up the courage to move over and put his arms around Su Qingluo's waist.

Su Qingluo was very pleased and kissed her forehead: "Go to sleep."

Maybe it was because I had someone by my side, I really had a good night's sleep.

The next day, Wen Zhimiao and Wen Jiuzhao left the palace early, taking many gifts with them.

Su Qingluo summoned Lady Pingling, Cui Suhua, into the palace to discuss the deployment of defenses.

The Wen royal family is now without capable people, and the people of the world are suffering. Madam Ping Ling once served in the army, so she knows clearly how difficult it is for the people.

After his sister Cui Ruxuan became an official in the Ministry of Shangshu, he began to have a better impression of Su Qingluo.

After knowing that Qi Taihong was planning a rebellion, he actually said that it would be better to serve Su Qingluo as the king than serving old man Qi.

Later, Qi Taihong suppressed the He family far away in the border, and Madam Pingling's husband was the first to be suppressed. Madam Pingling, who once had a great reputation in the army, surrendered to Su Qingluo in anger.

Cui Suhua had a deep understanding of Xuandu and had led troops in battle. After witnessing Su Qingluo's military talent, he admired him even more.

What Su Qingluo needs to do now is to maximize the effectiveness of the troops at his disposal.

Most of Qi Taihong's confidence comes from the Imperial Guards, and now most of the control of the Imperial Guards is in his hands.

Su Qingluo fought with him for three years but only managed to gain control of one-third of the imperial guards. After all, Qi Taihong had been prime minister for two dynasties and had considerable influence in the court.

Being able to accomplish this in three years is already the limit of what Su Qingluo can do, otherwise there would be no need to transfer troops to Xuandu.

Whether it is General He or Shi Guanchao, the troops they can control are those at the border, and distant water cannot put out a nearby fire.

Fortunately, the troops could be transferred to Xuandu, and now they are evenly matched with the imperial guards under Qi Taihong.

When Wen Zhimiao and others went to Lulin Academy, the streets of Xuandu City were already beginning to become lively.

But probably none of these ordinary people could have imagined that the secret struggle in the prosperous Xuandu City had become increasingly fierce.

A new emperor has new ministers, but no matter which dynasty it is, the people remain the same.

If the emperor is capable and wise, they will be better off; if the emperor is immoral and incompetent, they will be more miserable.
