The night is hazy and the stars are shining brightly in the night sky.
The night shrouded the entire starry sky, causing everything to fall into silence. Only a dim candle was burning in Mr. Liu's wing.
The candlelight made a crackling sound from time to time, teasing the quiet night.
Young Master Liu was like a god sitting motionless in front of the chair. If he hadn't blinked his eyes from time to time, people who didn't know would have thought that Young Master Liu had fallen asleep with his eyes open at this time.
The sound of gentle footsteps entered the side room, and Gu Mo Rongrong gently stepped into the door with a lantern and an exquisite food box on her lotus feet.
Looking at Liu Mingzhi sitting on the chair staring at the table in a daze, as if he was out of his mind, Gumo Rongrong's soft and pretty eyes showed a hint of distress.
After much hesitation, Gumo Rongrong inserted the lantern on the buckle on the side, walked over with the food box, and placed the food box on the table. Gumo Rongrong's voice was so soft that it made people feel like a spring breeze and beautiful eyes.
He looked dimly at Mr. Liu sitting down opposite him.
"Brother Liu, are you hungry?"
Liu Mingzhi, who was half-step into the realm of innate masters, didn't come back to his senses as if he was waking up from a dream until Gumo Rongrong sat across from her and spoke. He looked at the beauty opposite him in astonishment.
"Rongrong, why are you here? When did you arrive?"
Gumo Rongrong opened the food box, took out two meat and two vegetarian dishes, four plates of exquisite side dishes and a pot of wine and placed them in front of Liu Mingzhi one by one. She sighed as she watched Young Master Liu speak.
"Rong Rong just came in. Brother Liu, you were too engrossed and didn't notice."
"Since we left here, you haven't left the house for most of the day, and you haven't had a drop of water since noon. Rongrong and Brother Song were worried about your health. After discussion, Rongrong had to send you some food to satisfy your hunger."
"Rongrong has changed the candles for you twice. Brother, you haven't recovered at all!"
Liu Mingzhi instinctively looked outside the door and saw the moonlight shrouding the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard, and then he reacted belatedly.
"Why is it so late? Have the brothers escorting the grain and fodder set off on their way?"
Aunt Mo Rongrong rolled her eyes softly when she heard this: "I guess you have entered the territory of Jianzhou Prefecture now, and you didn't think about it until now."
He poured a glass of wine from the pot and handed it to Liu Mingzhi: "Brother Liu, don't think too much, let's eat something to fill your stomach first. You are the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. If something happens to your body, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of brothers?
Well, even if you don’t think about yourself, you should still think about the safety of your brothers!”
Liu Mingzhi silently took the wine glass from Gu Mo Rongrong's hand and drank it all in one gulp. His dry throat felt much better.
Seeing this, Gumo Rongrong was not in a hurry to pick up food for her sweetheart, she got up directly and walked to Liu Mingzhi to silently pour wine for her sweetheart.
Liu Mingzhi drank several glasses of wine before stopping.
"Rong Rong, is Brother Liu really wrong?"
"Should I really not impose my thoughts on you? Maybe my elder brother is right. Not everyone is Liu Mingzhi and cannot be like me."
"But I'm harsh on them because I don't want the brothers... Sigh...Rongrong, can you understand Brother Liu's difficulties?"
"Of course Rongrong can understand Brother Liu!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Gumo Rongrong excitedly: "Really? Do you understand my difficulties?"
"Of course I understand. In my heart...Rongrong's heart is with you. How could she not understand your difficulties?"
"Brother Liu, you have thought carefully in your heart and know that the longer this battle lasts, the more people will die. You want to fight quickly and end this war with minimal casualties as soon as possible."
"The war between your three countries, plus the nearly two million reinforcements from our Western Regions, if the fighting continues for one more day, tens of thousands of people will die on the battlefield."
"Brother Liu, your idea is certainly good, but Rongrong has to say that what Brother Song said is very reasonable."
"Since ancient times, there is no reason why those who fight on the battlefield will not die!"
"You are a human being, not a god, and you cannot save people's suffering. If you want to achieve peace in the world by yourself, you are like a worm trying to shake a tree, or a mantis using its arms as a chariot!"
"Although Rongrong has only been in Dalong for a short time, Rongrong has already seen that the world is destined to be unable to be unified without a bloody battle!"
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a long time, his eyes flickered a few times and he looked at Mo Rongrong complicatedly: "Do you think that if Brother Liu can support his own army and rely on my personal friendship with Wanyan and my junior brother, can he dominate the world without a single blow?"
Gumo Rongrong's pretty eyes suddenly widened, and she shook her head decisively without even hesitating.
"To put it bluntly, it's just an idiot's dream!"
"Even if you, brother, become the emperor of Dalong, your desire to peacefully unify the world is just a foolish dream, and more people will die by then!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Gumo Rongrong with sudden surprise, as if he had met a close friend.
He raised his wine glass and said to Aunt Mo Rongrong, "Come, have a nice drink with me!"
"good!"
Gumo Rongrong nodded obediently, filled the pot with wine, and drank a glass of wine with her sweetheart, then filled the pot with the two of them again.
Liu Mingzhi picked up a chopstick and tasted the mutton, looking at Gumo Rongrong curiously.
"Go on!"
Gumo Rongrong thought for a moment and opened her lips slightly before speaking.
"First of all, brother, let me talk about the difficulties you face in trying to support yourself with troops. Although the northern border of Dalong is constantly fighting, looking at the world, the southern border of Dalong is already peaceful and peaceful!"
"Brother, if you want to support your own troops, you will be a rebel. Except for the 300,000 soldiers and horses under your command, the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang will never join forces with you!"
"The Six Northern Border Guards are the Six Conglong Guards left behind by your Great Dragon Taizu during his reign. Naturally, there is no need to say more about their loyalty to the imperial court!"
"Although you have 300,000 cavalry under your command, the combat effectiveness of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang is not necessarily much worse than your soldiers and horses!"
"Especially because they are the orthodox people that the people want!"
"It doesn't take many elder brothers like Rongrong to understand the importance of the word orthodoxy in your Dalong concept."
"Let's not talk about whether eldest brother can successfully rebel. First of all, it is not orthodox. Even if eldest brother succeeds by chance, after the battle with the soldiers and horses of the Sixth Guards of Northern Xinjiang and even the guards of Dalong Capital, how much strength will you have left in your hands?
become?"
"An emperor who is in an improper position and does not have the strength to suppress the power of Dalong's various states will naturally end up in chaos and separatism among the princes!"
"And you have become a traitor that everyone wants to kill and the princes are vying to attack!"
"No matter what their purpose is, as long as they fight in the name of clearing the emperor's side and restoring the mountains and rivers, my brother will be passive everywhere!"
"Brother's rebellion can be said to affect the whole body. When you rebel, others will naturally dare to rebel against you!"
"Even though my eldest brother was lucky enough to accumulate strength and put down the rebellion within Dalong, please don't forget that there are Jin Kingdom and Turks outside who are eyeing Dalong!"
"When the great dragon was at its peak, they all dared to go south and invade the border! Not to mention the great dragon that was torn apart after you established your own army because of you, brother?"
"Perhaps at that time, after the eldest brother ascended the throne, before he could secure his position, Dalong would be the first to fall under the iron cavalry of the two countries because of his actions!"
"You want to rely on your personal relationship to peacefully unify the Jin Kingdom and the Turks, but after the war, what qualifications does Dalong, whose strength has plummeted, have to negotiate terms with them?"
"The Kingdom of Jin is not the Kingdom of Jin alone, and the Turks are not the Turks of Taichang Khan alone!"
"Brother, you became the Great Dragon Emperor just because of your relationship with the Golden Queen, and your brotherhood with Taichang Khan? You just want to peacefully rule the world?"
"Rongrong thought, eldest brother shouldn't be so naive!"
