Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang felt angry when she heard this. Facing their plan, she knew it was all a conspiracy, but they had no way to stop it. She really wanted to pin them all to the ground and beat them up.

Wei Yunzhou put down his chopsticks and spoke indifferently, "Shen Congfeng and his party have been above the imperial power for nearly twenty years. Their power in the court and the opposition is intertwined and deeply rooted. It is not easy to eradicate them."

If they dare to collude with Tianqi, how can their power be small? Now they hold two-thirds of the military power of the entire Beiling. If they confront them head-on, they will definitely have no advantage. They can only outsmart them.

"I'm just worried about what other plots they might have," Murray sighed. "Just let me finish repairing the dam."

"It's almost done," said Gu Qinglan. "It will be completed in two days."

"What about the ditch that my second uncle and I dug earlier? I hope it won't get bigger and bigger because of the river water. It would be a sin if it collapsed the mountain."

"Don't worry about that. I have sent people to reinforce the hole. There are also people guarding there, paying attention to the situation. After the dam is finished here, we can set up a sluice gate at the hole to temporarily close it. If there is a flood again in the future, it can also be a way to control the amount of water." said Mo Ruilin.

"That's good."

Gu Qinglan looked at Xue Huang and said, "Things here are almost over. Why don't you go back to Shangyang City tomorrow?"

Xue Huang immediately shook her head, "I don't."

Wei Yunzhou glanced over with a cold look. Just as he was about to speak, Xue Huang quickly stopped him, "I feel bad. If you chase me away, I will feel even worse."

"Do you think this trick will work?" Wei Yunzhou said coldly.

Xue Huang frowned, "I really feel bad."

Mo Ruilin smiled and said, "Forget it, since she doesn't want to, let her stay here. I can rest assured that Miss Xiao will take care of her."

Wei Yunzhou and Gu Qinglan didn't say anything else. Seeing this, Xue Huang smiled and all the discomfort on her face disappeared. "That's right, I won't run around when Sister Ling'er is here."

Mo Ruilin's expression changed. "Um... has she eaten?"

Xue Huang smiled and shook her head, "I don't know, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Mo Ruilin hesitated a little, "Forget it."

Xue Huang understood his concerns and said nothing more.

Wei Yunzhou had finished eating and left.

Xuehuang and Gu Qinglan had almost finished eating, so she pulled him out for a walk. Mo Ruilin hesitated for a moment, but still asked someone to bring some fresh food and personally delivered it to Xiao Ling'er's tent.

Xuehuang and Gu Qinglan saw this scene. They both smiled and walked slowly along the river bank.

As the sun set, their shadows became very long and beautiful, like a painting.

"It seems that Xingyue is right," Xuehuang said with a smile, "Fifth Brother treats her very differently."

"It is indeed the first time that His Highness has been so attentive to a woman." Gu Qinglan said. "But he has been trying hard to control his emotions."

"why?"

"She is from the Beiyuan royal family. After all, there is hatred between the two countries. This is like a thorn in their hearts."

Xue Huang sighed, thinking that was true. But what did all this have to do with Mo Ruilin? After all, it was Shen Congfeng who provoked the war between the two countries and caused the destruction of Beiyuan.

However, no one can interfere in this matter and can only let them make their own choice.

"Fifth brother is not young anymore. Doesn't Your Majesty have any plans to arrange a marriage for him?" Xue Huang asked.

Gu Qinglan shook his head. "Although there are many ministers in the court who support Your Highness, Your Highness does not want to win over any forces through marriage."

"Although Fifth Brother seems to like to go to places of pleasure, he is actually a gentleman who keeps himself clean. He is also very handsome and has great political and military skills to govern a country. Isn't there any prince or daughter who loves him?"

"I don't know about that," Gu Qinglan said with a smile, "but there should be a lot."

Xue Huang's eyes were full of curiosity. "After I return to the city, I will ask around to see who has such good taste."

Gu Qinglan smiled without saying anything. After taking her for a walk, he sent her back to the tent.

As soon as Xue Huang came back, she saw Xiao Ling'er sitting alone in a chair with her eyes closed, resting lazily. She glanced at the table and saw a half-eaten meal.

"Is this sent by my fifth brother?"

Xiao Ling'er didn't answer, and didn't even open her eyes.

Xue Huang came up to her and looked her up and down, "Sister, tell me the truth, how did you mess up my fifth brother's heart!"

As soon as Xiao Ling'er opened her eyes, she saw her smiling face. She tapped her head with a finger, causing her to scream "ouch" in pain.

"I've already told you, kid, if you don't understand, don't ask. I'm just cooperating with him."

Xue Huang rubbed his head and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

"Your injuries are already recovering. I will leave early tomorrow morning."

"Where are you going?"

"You want to know?" Xiao Ling'er raised her chin, her eyes seemed to be full of stars, "How about coming with me?"

"I'm a girl." Xue Huang smiled helplessly.

"But men like this." Xiao Ling'er said with a smile. "Learn from it."

"Who said that?" Xue Huang immediately retorted, "Your master would definitely not do that. If anyone dared to treat him like that, she would probably die without knowing how, right?"

And Wei Yunzhou was unmoved by the beautiful Sister Luo Ning, so what woman would dare to approach him?

It is impossible for her brother Qinglan to do so either, as he is a well-educated and modest gentleman.

"Some men may not buy into this," Xiao Ling'er smiled meaningfully, "but that's because they haven't met the person they like yet."

"Really?" Xue Huang looked at her doubtfully.

"If you don't believe me, why don't you try it on Gu Qinglan next time?"

"I don't want it." Xue Huang shook her head.

Xiao Ling'er touched her little face and said, "Silly girl, not everything needs to be solved by force. A woman's weakness and beauty are a weapon in themselves. You must learn to use this advantage."

"I can fight them, why should I rely on this?"

Xiao Ling'er was somewhat speechless. "Yes, you only know how to fight when you are in a fight, and fight with all your might when you can't win. This is indeed your advantage. But you can't fight with all your might in everything. If you lose your life, what can you protect?"

Xue Huang thought about her words seriously. The boy had told her before that force was not the only way to solve problems, because there were obviously simpler ways.

But she grew up in Guigu since she was a child, and had already engraved the rules of Guigu deeply in her heart.

It was also because there were many people who came to Guigu Sect to cause trouble at that time. They couldn't drive them away, so they could only draw their swords and beat them until they begged for mercy, and then they would leave naturally.

So over time, the only option left in her mind was to fight.

It's not that she doesn't know how to adapt, she just finds it troublesome.

But this also shows that she is free and easy, free and easy, and unwilling to be burdened by the world. She doesn't like power struggles, nor does she like things that require brainpower, and she doesn't like to pretend to be weak and rely on her looks to achieve her goals, but she understands that Xiao Ling'er is also thinking about her.

So she nodded seriously and said, "What you said makes sense. I'll consider it."

"You're not stupid yet."

"Of course," Xue Huang said with a smile, "I just look stupid in front of smart people like Brother Qinglan. In fact, I am very smart."

Xiao Linger couldn't help but roll her eyes. He shouldn't have praised her. "Go back to your bed and sleep."
