"The people in Border City are the ones who know the most about the Border Army. Let's see what the people in Border City think. If the people in Border City are inclined towards Zhenbei Hou and General An Ding, it will be helpful for our trip.
It will be bigger." Gu Jinyan said what he thought: "Only if you have enough understanding of public opinion, you will have greater confidence."
When Geng Qing heard this, he said nothing more.
Miss Gu Er is a thoughtful person, and it is indeed a good way to understand public opinion.
He shouldn't have had a hand in this matter.
Miss Gu Er is different from other ladies from aristocratic families. She performed so amazingly when she was in Kyoto.
"I understand, Miss Gu Er." Geng Qing said honestly.
Gu Jinyan couldn't help but smile and looked at Geng Qing. Why did she feel that Geng Qing was not like the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, but like a guard of the Gu family.
Geng Qing would think about whatever she said and then agree to it.
Fortunately, Geng Qing followed us along the way, otherwise it would have been even more boring. Xiao Yuheng always had a cold face and said nothing.
Gu Jinyan subconsciously looked back at Xiao Yuheng and saw that his face was livid, and he didn't know who provoked him.
At this moment, she didn't have time to care about Xiao Yuheng. She led her team to a random tavern and sat down. This tavern had the largest number of people, which was why Gu Jinyan chose this place. There were more voices here.
In this wide border city, the people in the border city are the same as the environment here. They speak and behave informally. The men feel hot and sit down with their arms bare and drink heavily. The women do not have so many rules and etiquette, which is similar to the men.
With a bowl of wine in front of you, you can talk loudly, say whatever you want, and talk loudly. Even women can talk loudly with men together.
These are not available in Kyoto. In Kyoto, everyone always has to worry about this and that.
Gu Jinyan also relaxed a little, slowly letting go of the restraints he had always had in Kyoto.
I also ordered a few bottles of wine.
"Miss Gu Er." Geng Qing wanted to dissuade her.
Gu Jinyan glanced at him, and Geng Qing stopped talking. He clinked glasses with Gu Jinyan and took a big sip of wine. Gu Jinyan also took a quick sip. Worried that Xiao Yuheng would be left out, Gu Jinyan clinked glasses with Xiao Yuheng and also drank.
Take a sip.
Then Gu Jinyan became more relaxed.
Looking at the people at the table next to them who were talking about Zhenbei Hou, Gu Jinyan raised his wine glass, sat down in front of them, and asked: "I heard you talking about Zhenbei Hou, what do you think about Zhenbei Hou?
of?"
The people at this table saw that Gu Jinyan was thin and frail, but they were very happy. Although they knew that he was not from Bianguan City, they took it anyway, since they asked this question.
, not to mention that you can’t see such a beautiful girl in Border City.
The big man drank a bowl of wine, put the empty wine glass on the table, and said angrily: "Who knows if those people framed the Zhenbei Hou incident, or they are all a bunch of cowards who dare not deal with it.
When the people were rescued, they said that the Marquis of Zhenbei was colluding with the enemy and treason!!!!"
"How could a person like Zhenbeihou collaborate with the enemy and treason? When we were still young, Zhenbeihou guarded one side and never made the people of our Border City suffer. He even always took good care of our people in Border City.
.”
"Later, the Marquis of Zhenbei was recalled to Kyoto, and the border guards were replaced. How can we, the people of Border City, still live the good life we had back then?"
"I think those people just can't understand the prestige of Zhenbeihou in Border City. Zhenbeihou is now a marquis. He has Mrs. Hou and his children, and the Gu family is such a big family. They are collaborating with the enemy and treason. Rizhao country is
Can I give the Marquis of Zhenbei the throne or something..." The man said directly, and he also felt it was incredible: "What do these people think, to give such a mark to the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
Others nodded in agreement.
Gu Jinyan felt a little relieved when he heard what everyone said.
"Yeah, what do they think?" Gu Jinyan said, while also thinking about why it ended up like this.
"This young lady thinks so too? But young lady, why would you want to ask about Zhenbei Hou? From the looks of it, you are not from Bianguan City, right?" the big man asked.
Gu Jinyan nodded, being very frank and not intending to hide anything.
He said frankly: "I came from Kyoto. I am Gu Jinyan, the daughter of Zhenbei Hou. I came to Border City this time just to clear my father's name. My father must not be a collaborator and treasonous person."
These men were all stunned.
"The daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei!" The big man swallowed: "The noble daughter of Kyoto."
The big man didn't have the momentum he had just now. He sat down honestly, fearing that there would be any irregularities: "The tiger father has no dog daughter, so only the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei dares to be imprisoned here."
"Miss Gu, we believe that you can definitely bring justice to Zhenbei Hou. If there is anyone who needs our help, just let us know."
"Thanks in advance." Gu Jinyan picked up the wine bowl, clinked glasses with everyone, and drank all the wine in the bowl.
These men were stunned, and Gu Jinyan had no choice but to remind them: "What are you doing standing still? Drink."
When several people saw that Gu Jinyan was not a coy person at all, he was very cheerful, so they stopped being awkward here and drank heavily like before.
"It's so refreshing. The daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei is just like the Marquis of Zhenbei back then. Although she has a noble status, she has never looked down on ordinary people like us." The big man said: "Miss Gu, if you can't get justice, I will fight for it.
Even if I risk my life, I will help you seek justice together."
Gu Jinyan smiled and drank wine with them.
I saw that she actually drank too much.
Xiao Yuheng advised from the side: "It's almost done, we have to meet the border troops later."
Gu Jinyan also accepted the offer and said goodbye to these men.
He took several people on the journey to find the border troops.
Now the general guarding the border is called Wang Hu. He has been guarding the border for ten years. Ten years ago, the person guarding the border was Gu Kaiyuan, the Marquis of Zhenbei. Until Mrs. Zhenbeihou had her first child, the emperor ordered Zhenbei to
When Hou returned to Kyoto, Wang Hu took over the border crossing.
Wang Hu...
Gu Jinyan had no idea about Wang Shu.
In the last life, the regent never mentioned such a thing to her.
So she didn't know who Wang Shu was.
Geng Qing also said that he did not understand that Wang Hu was from the border city and was not a former general in Kyoto. Moreover, when Geng Qing was in the border city, he worked in the hands of his father.
Before entering the barracks, Gu Jinyan glanced at Xiao Yuheng and told him not to reveal his identity first and to explore the truth first.
Xiao Yuheng agreed honestly, placed himself in the same position as Geng Qing, and the two of them followed.
Entering the border military camp, Gu Jinyan was led by the border soldiers to the general's military camp.
Gu Jinyan met the general Wang Hui. Wang Hui was also middle-aged. With so many things going on at the border, his face was red. He glanced at Gu Jinyan and asked with disgust: "Gu Kaiyuan's daughter?"
"The Emperor really doesn't know what he is thinking. He asked a young lady who was raised in Kyoto to come to the border. What the border needs most now is the generals and soldiers who come to support. What's the use of a woman coming here."
Xiao Yuheng had a dark face and held back his temper.
Geng Qing almost rushed forward.
Gu Jinyan motioned for them to calm down first.
He looked at Wang Hu and smiled: "What's the use of the generals and soldiers coming from the border? Some of them were injured and some were captured by the enemy. General Wang Hu was safe and sound. I don't know what the situation is. It's just that Zhenbei
Both Hou and General Anding have ended up like this. Which general in Kyoto is willing to come? For those who don’t know, they would think that there is something wrong here."
Gu Jinyan was naturally not polite either.
Wang Hu did not expect a little girl to have such a sharp mouth.
Just bring these few people to someone else's territory and dare to talk like this.
Wang Hu stared blankly and didn't speak for a long time.
"Miss Gu, it's hard to say whether the Marquis of Zhenbei and General Anding have different intentions or whether the border is evil." Wang Hui continued to mention their collaboration with the enemy and treason.
"I came here this time to find out what happened to Marquis Zhenbei and General An Ding. Did they go directly to Rizhao Country or were they defeated and ambushed by Rizhao Country?" Gu Jinyan asked.
"The Marquis of Zhenbei and General An Ding were ambushed." The deputy general nodded and said.
"General Wang Hui, Zhenbei Hou and General Anding were ambushed. Instead of thinking about how to rescue them, you accused them of collaborating with the enemy and treason?" Gu Jinyan looked at Wang Hui and asked.
Gu Jinyan's eyes were sharp, and Wang Hu hesitated for a moment when faced with such eyes.
Then he continued quickly: "Since the ambush of the Marquis of Zhenbei and General An Ding, we have been defeated three times in a row, and three times we were not as good as the Rizhao Kingdom. If the Marquis of Zhenbei and General An Ding had not colluded with others, what else could it be?
"
"Is this your basis?" Gu Jinyan's voice was already a bit angry.
I was extremely angry at Wang Shu's statement.
"It's precisely because Rizhao Kingdom understands us that we have a losing streak." Wang Hu said.
Gu Jinyan slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Is it possible that you are incompetent? You can't win. If you have some ability, do you need Marquis Zhenbei and General An Ding to come to the border? Let me ask you."
"You have no evidence or basis, so you just say that the Marquis of Zhenbei and General Anding have collaborated with the enemy and treason?"
"Do you know how many people will be harmed by your words? My father went to the battlefield when he was young and served the country loyally. But because of your incompetence, my father was captured by the enemy and was subjected to an incompetent person like you.
