In the champion's house and Jia Qi's study, Miaoyu sighed in her heart. Now that things have reached this point, Emperor Mingkang actually doesn't have many options left.
Cai Luan has been very relaxed since Miaoyu arrived, as if a heavy burden has suddenly been lifted off her whole body.
After seeing this, Old Man Xu shook his head helplessly. Then he looked at the other girl sitting quietly aside.
Compared with the carefree girl next to him, the old man Xu looked more and more pleasing to his eyes. In his impression, Miaoyu was undoubtedly more suitable for a good girl.
But he didn't dare to simply think of the other party as a girl who never left the house and didn't know the world.
"I dare to ask...Miss, our Marquis Mansion..."
Although Old Man Xu is not sure, he has his own guess in his heart. If the current chaos is to be resolved, the stalemate cannot continue forever.
There is still some distance between Zhili, Hebei and the capital, so taking the initiative is the best strategy. Once the rebels reach the capital and try to occupy the city, the damage caused during the period will not only be economic.
What is more important is the support of the people.
For a dynasty, the most important thing is the capital. Just like in a battlefield battle, the commander's flag is the soul of a team. As long as the commander's flag does not fall, the morale of the army will not fade.
At present, the number of combatable troops in the capital is sufficient. Even if some of the remaining troops are sent out, they will be enough to defend the capital. Dakang has not yet been forced to refuse to defend the capital.
As a person in power, he should be very clear about this. If this is the case, who to send is a must-choose question.
This is what Old Man Xu wants to ask. As the cavalry with the most mobility and combat effectiveness in the capital and even in the entire Dakang, the Snow Dragon Cavalry would be the first choice for Emperor Mingkang's imperial case.
"Hmm~~"
Miaoyu nodded slightly, and then she continued: "It is not only the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry who are leaving, but also the people from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing!"
"I don't know what that person is thinking, but according to my own guess, he will have no worries until the strength of our two parties is balanced!!"
Another girl on the side heard this and snorted slightly.
"Now that people have come to the door, he still has time to think about this! What he does as an emperor is really meaningless!!"
Miaoyu didn't show it on her face, but she sighed in her heart. Although Cai Luan's words were a bit childish, but in the world, who can do everything as they please?
Can't help myself.
"The way of civil and military affairs is one of tension and relaxation. The way of an emperor lies in balance, which is the emperor's approach."
Old Man Xu stretched out his hand and stroked his goatee. He seemed to understand the emperor's actions and spoke with some seriousness.
"Then how should we respond? Are we really going to send out all the Snow Dragon Cavalry?"
Cai Luan suddenly spoke up and brought up the core topic of this incident.
That's right, in this crisis, the most critical thing is not whether the emperor will let the Snow Dragon Cavalry be dispatched, but whether they will let the Snow Dragon Cavalry be dispatched.
Although the Snow Dragon Cavalry was ostensibly loyal to the imperial court, they all knew that there was only one person in this unit who was truly loyal to him, and that was Jia Qi.
Now that Jia Qi is no longer around, the orders from the Marquis Mansion are military orders. If they insist not to send troops, Emperor Ming Kang will have no choice.
They even said that if they were willing, with three thousand snow dragon cavalry and enough thunder bullets, the country could change hands. It was no lie.
After hearing Cai Luan's words, Miaoyu fell silent for a moment, and Old Man Xu also fell silent, and the sound of needles dropping could be heard in the room.
This is a decision that is not easy to make. For Jia Qi, he does not seem to want to sit in that position. Before today, the three of them knew that although it was certain that Jia Qi was still alive, he was still alive.
Where and when he will return is still unknown.
And once they take action, if Jia Qi has not returned yet, who will take that seat? Who can sit, and who dares to sit?
"Sister Cai Luan and Mr. Xu... should all know the true identity of the Marquis, right?"
Miaoyu lowered her head and spoke softly, but her tone was very certain.
Cai Luan shrugged and nodded. She should be one of the first people to know about Jia Qi's identity.
Old man Xu sighed and did not deny it. It was obvious that this old guy had heard some clues from somewhere.
Miaoyu saw that the two of them were silent, so she continued talking.
"Since ancient times, the name is correct and the words are correct. If the name is not correct and the words are not correct, things will not be accomplished!"
"The Marquis is from a royal family, and he has the qualifications to inherit the throne of this country. There is no need to use this method to steal the throne. This seat only depends on whether he wants to sit on it, not whether he can sit on it!"
"If my sister and husband have that intention in their hearts, let me tell you here that the Marquis definitely does not have that intention in his heart, or it is definitely not that way at the moment."
Cai Luan stretched her waist and became speechless again. Do you know if Jia Qi missed her? Originally, she had planned to take the opportunity to persuade Old Monster Xu to order with her, but now it seemed that it was impossible.
Old weirdo Xu has his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart. He knows Jia Qi's character. It's not something they can help him make a decision on. Cai Luan, the bastard, just wanted to drag him into trouble.
"Then we have to leave a few behind to take care of the safety of the residence!!"
Cai Luan saw that there was no movement from the two of them, so he added another sentence.
Miaoyu shook her head. She could only confirm that Emperor Mingkang would dispatch the Snow Dragon Cavalry, but she was not sure how many.
But even if everyone is mobilized, there will be no shortage of guards in the house. This was confirmed before she came to this room.
Seeing Miaoyu shaking her head, Cai Luan frowned.
“Leave no one behind??”
Hearing this, the old man Xu moved his hands. He felt that it would not be good if no one was left.
In his calculations, dispatching 2,000 of the 3,000-strong Snow Dragon Cavalry Army was enough, and leaving the remaining 1,000 in the capital to deal with emergencies was the best option.
And putting one's life and death in the hands of others is unwise.
"If that's the case, I... don't agree with it."
After Miaoyu was silent for a moment, she spoke out: "How many people will be dispatched? Maybe it depends on us, maybe not, but we have no choice when the time comes. This is a rule and cannot be broken!"
"But there is one very important thing at the moment. The Marquis should be in the capital, but I haven't calculated where exactly."
Cai Luan and Mr. Xu's eyes lit up when they heard this. They were planning so much here just to delay Jia Qi's return.
"Is what my sister said true?"
Cai Luan suppressed the throbbing in her heart and asked.
Old man Xu on the side also looked at the girl in front of him again. His eyes began to flicker, and he thought to himself whether the other party's words were true or false. Is Jia Qi in the capital? If he was in the capital, why didn't he go back home?
