Kou Zaixiong's face was dark and he didn't say a word.
After pondering for a moment, he finally said to Dian Wei: "Brother Dian, please send someone to report to Your Majesty."
"I think these boats were built by the rebels."
"If they move south on a large scale, it will be difficult for us to resist, and in a water battle, we will not have the advantage at all."
Dianwei also understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded quickly and went down to make arrangements.
…
Mingzhou City.
Yuncheng was not in a hurry, and after spending a few days, he finally arrived at Mingzhou City.
After learning that Yuncheng had arrived, Bai Yutian came out to greet him in person, which was very grand.
Although Yuncheng is young, he deserves respect for both his talent and ability.
Yuncheng was somewhat flattered and saluted Bai Yutian repeatedly.
During this period, Bai Yutian also asked Yuncheng about Yun Qing and the two children. After learning that they were all well, Bai Yutian breathed a sigh of relief.
It had been a long time since he had been away this time, and Bai Yutian also missed Yun Qing and others a little.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to go back in a short time.
Not long after, Bai Yutian led Yuncheng to the competition venue and met Gu Chengxuan.
When Yuncheng saw Gu Chengxuan, he immediately felt a little jealous. The two looked at each other, and sparks seemed to come from their eyes.
Bai Yutian also learned from others that Yuncheng and Gu Chengxuan were once students and studied in the same academy.
The academy at that time was different from now and was smaller in scale, so the relationship between Yuncheng and Gu Chengxuan was very close at one time.
Later, after experiencing the chaos of the Five Kingdoms, the fate of the two began to be completely different, and they went on opposite paths.
Yuncheng didn't say much, he just waved his hand to Gu Chengxuan, "Please!"
"please!"
After sitting down, Gu Chengxuan started talking to Yuncheng cordially.
At this time, Gu Chengxuan sent the old man behind him away, but Zhao Chuxue did not stand beside Yuncheng.
In addition, the two people spoke relatively quietly, so no one could hear their conversation.
Some ministers were immediately worried when they saw that Yuncheng and Gu Chengxuan were so familiar.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yun and Gu Chengxuan were classmates and studied together. I am worried that he will switch sides or favor Gu Chengxuan."
An old minister said to Bai Yutian.
And this person also expressed the sentiments of most people. They naturally admired Yuncheng, but after all, Yuncheng knew Gu Chengxuan and his identity was sensitive, so of course they were worried.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Bai Yutian shook his head and said decisively: "I believe in Yuncheng."
Others can doubt Yuncheng, but Bai Yutian will never allow himself to doubt Yuncheng.
Little did they know how much effort Yuncheng had made from removing Gu Taizhong, pacifying the Shanu Kingdom and even forming an alliance with the Shanu Kingdom, to annihilating the Nanchuan rebels, and then to governing the country so that the country was peaceful and the people were safe.
It has always been Bai Yutian's rule to employ people without doubting them and to use them without suspicion.
As an emperor, you must know how to handle people well, and your faith must not be easily shaken.
Moreover, Bai Yutian believed that Yuncheng would also believe in him.
On the stage, Yuncheng and Gu Chengxuan were fighting in the dark. One person was making moves and the other was breaking them. The chessboard was changing in an instant, and everyone was mesmerized.
"Yuncheng, I guessed it right. Your chess skills have improved a lot in the past two years." Gu Chengxuan picked up the black piece and said calmly.
Yuncheng nodded, with a relaxed smile on his face, "Brother Gu, too."
Gu Chengxuan paused, but never put down the hand holding the chess piece.
After a moment, Gu Chengxuan said: "Heaven knows it, and you should also be able to find that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been exhausted and there is no hope."
"With your talent, if you cooperate with me, you will be able to unify the country and create a prosperous age, so that my people will never suffer from war."
Yuncheng shook his head and said calmly: "The power of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been exhausted? It was indeed the case when the Five Kingdoms were in chaos."
"But now, the purple star is dark but not extinguished, the calamity star is bright but not brilliant, and the evil star appears but is not real."
"Therefore, although the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger of collapse, it will not collapse. I believe in Your Majesty and I also believe in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Hearing Yuncheng's words, Gu Chengxuan was a little angry.
Three years ago, Da Zhou was clearly exhausted. It was at that time that Gu Chengxuan became ambitious and felt that when the time was right, he could replace Da Zhou.
But now, although Dazhou's internal and external troubles are more serious, and he even controls a quarter of the world, Dazhou's energy has not decreased but increased, which makes people feel helpless.
