"What!?"
Meng Guxue hugged Jiaojiao and hurriedly ran to Baili Chengyou. Even Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing looked shocked.
Baili Chengyou signaled Meng Guxue to step back, and he picked up the brocade box and came to the hall.
"The portrait was made after crushing the soul seducing Gu and mixing it with ink. I don't know if it is still effective after so many years. Don't get close."
Baili Chengyou picked up the scroll with one hand, shook it down, and a portrait as tall as a person came into view.
Jiaojiao has seen Yu Liu's portrait many times, and she recognized it at a glance. The stunning woman in the portrait was undoubtedly Yu Liu.
Meng Guxue couldn't help but exclaimed. Although Shen Yuanbai and Yu Liu looked very similar, when the owner of this face was a woman, she was really stunning!
After everyone saw it, Baili Chengyou put away the portrait again, and then took out a letter from the brocade box.
"This is Yu Liu's secret letter. It was also written in the ink of Soul-Seducing Gu. There is something on it -"
Baili Chengyou read the contents of the letter quietly, and now Yu Liu's plan was finally clear.
It turned out that after Yu Liu received the soul-drawing Gu, combined with the news from the concubine who was instigating the eldest prince, she guessed that the leader of Nanli Kingdom should be the reason why this Gu got into her hands.
So Yu Liu guessed at once that the leader of the Nanli Kingdom definitely did not want to see the Northern Kingdom being annexed and the Yong Dynasty family becoming the dominant one. After all, the North Kingdom today might not be the Nanli Kingdom in the future!
Yu Liu used his own body to develop the soul-drawing Gu. After crushing the soul-drawing Gu, Yu Liu actually made two moves.
She painted two paintings and wrote two letters. One of the paintings and letters was sent to Nanli, but the one to Yong Dynasty was not sent.
Because Yu Liu knew the thoughts of the leader of the Nanli Kingdom, Nanli was more maneuverable. If the leader of the Nanli Kingdom refused to buy it, she would then make a dangerous move and take the path of the Yong Dynasty.
In this way, it can be said that you can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
The painting and the letter were sent to the case of the leader of Nanli Kingdom.
The leader of Nanli Kingdom was already on guard at that time. After all, he knew very well how powerful the soul-drawing Gu was.
So on that day, he specially summoned his trusted Gu doctor to stay at one side, and even asked Guan Sheng, who had been exterminated, to open letters and display paintings.
Even so, he was still close to being attacked because he was not far away, thanks to the voodoo doctor who sent the voodoo repellent in time.
As for Guan Sheng, he has been "honest" for many years, but he couldn't help but have strange thoughts at that moment, which shows the power of the name of "secret treasure" to attract people's attention.
In a secret letter, Yu Liu requested Nanli to send troops to attack the southern border of Yong Dynasty to relieve the urgent needs of the northern kingdom.
At that time, most of the Yong Dynasty's troops and thoughts were in the north. If Nanli attacked with all his strength, he would definitely gain benefit.
After the Northern Kingdom has taken a breath, it will then engage in a pincer attack with Nanli. The two countries will work together, and the Yong Dynasty will be overwhelmed by enemies from both sides. At that time, they can annex and carve up the Yong Dynasty together.
At that time, if the leader of Nanli Kingdom is willing, she, as the princess of the Northern Kingdom, should marry Nanli and unite the two countries.
The future that Yu Liuchang envisioned was very good and feasible, and with the help of Soul Seduction Gu, she originally thought that she could reach cooperation with the leader of Nanli Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, the leader of the Nanli Kingdom was very cautious. Yu Liu's every step from sending people to steal the poison to sending a secret message about the portrait really shocked him.
His original intention of letting Yu Liu get the soul-drawing Gu at that time was to let Yu Liu go to Huo Huoyong, not to drag them into Nanli together.
Moreover, in the Yong Dynasty at that time, in addition to Qiao Zhongguo, the world-famous general who guarded the north, Xiao Hongda, the hussar general who guarded the southern border, was not a vegetarian. His reputation in the southern border was even greater than Qiao Zhongguo's.
The leader of the Nanli Kingdom thought about it, but in the end he did not take action, and did not even reply to the letter. He just pretended to be completely withdrawing from the dispute between the two countries and pretended not to know.
Yu Liu couldn't wait for the reply from the leader of Nanli Kingdom, so he began to speculate about his choice. At that time, Qiao Zhongguo was still attacking north, so Yu Liu could only choose the second way and send the remaining portraits and letters of surrender to Yong Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, this strategy worked in the Yong Dynasty. When the leader of the Nanli Kingdom heard that Emperor Yong ordered Qiao Zhongguo to withdraw his troops, he even agreed to Yu Liu and go to the Yong Dynasty. He felt like a mirror in his heart!
The young emperor of the Yong Dynasty fell into the trap after all.
Of course, it was impossible for him to remind him. After all, he had single-handedly caused this scene...
The truth of that year finally came to light at this moment. Several people in the hall were speechless for a long time, and Qiao Zhongguo was even more dejected.
Does he hate it?
He hates it, hates the leader of Nanli for adding fuel to the flames, hates Yu Liu for his cunning methods, and hates Emperor Yong for trapping himself.
At that time, it was clearly a war between the two countries, but the situation in the world always affected the whole world. Nanli never sent a single soldier, but they never escaped from it.
Baili Chengyou had some considerations when he dared to speak out about this matter.
He had already seen Qiao Tianjing's intelligence. That day, his father mentioned the soul-drawing Gu in the palace. These days, I'm afraid Qiao Tianjing might also guess something.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced at Qiao Tianjing. Sure enough, he didn't see an overly shocked look on Qiao Tianjing's face.
Qiao Tianjing was also looking at Baili Chengyou. When he saw him looking over, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
He did think about it these days, but he never told his father.
After all, this matter was close to his father's heart. He knew that if Baili Chengyou also wanted to make good friends with the Yong Dynasty, he would definitely come and tell the details. There was no need for him to arouse his father's worries in advance.
The two of them looked at each other secretly at this moment, already seeing the same intention on each other's faces.
The situation was like this back then. Everyone was fighting for their home and country, with different stances and different methods, which was destined to cause countless tragedies and leave countless legends.
Time has changed, the emperor of the Yong Dynasty has changed, and the position of the head of the Nanli Kingdom will also change hands. In the future, the Northern Kingdom's royal family will also change with the addition of Shen Yuanbai.
Suddenly, a new world situation has been formed, and the battlefield has quietly shifted to the next generation.
"Master Qiao, this was the truth back then. We have been honest with each other, and now we have adopted Nanli's attitude."
"In his position and in his political affairs, this palace does not want to put the people in the flames of war for the so-called imperial hegemony. This was probably one of my father's considerations back then."
"The Yong Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom are inseparable enemies. There will eventually be a battle between you. If you want Nanli to stay out of the matter, please show your sincerity."
"I am about to become the king of the country and must be responsible for my own people."
When Meng Guxue heard this, she looked at Jiaojiao in her arms and couldn't help but look worried.
Qiao Zhongguo took a deep breath, looked at Baili Chengyou who already had the courage of an emperor, and said in a deep voice:
"Prince Baili, before the foreign minister left the court, the Holy One said that the Northern Kingdom invaded without any reason and massacred thousands of innocent people in our northern border. Later, Yu Liu used a trick to disrupt the foundation of our Yong Dynasty for decades. The Yong Dynasty has We have become an old enemy with the Northern Kingdom, and we are bound to die.”
"The Yong Dynasty and Nanli have no old grudges, and the people have always been innocent. If the new ruler is like the Yong Dynasty and regards the people as heaven, the Yong Dynasty is willing to sign an alliance with Nanli to form eternal friendship, exchange needs, and create peace together. world!"
