"Eldest brother?"
Murong Yun called out in a low voice before Hua Fu came back to his senses. At this time, the room had not been lit with candles and was a little dark. The fiery red sunset filtered through the window lattice.
Coupled with Hua Fu's not-so-good expression, Murong Yun had a bit of a bad premonition.
It stands to reason that Hua Fu should be in a good mood with his new daughter. How come he has this expression now? He was obviously very happy before.
"What happened?" Murong Yun couldn't understand, so she simply asked.
"Indeed, there is a difficult matter..."
Hua Fu sighed and personally used spiritual energy to light the candlestick in the corner. The warm yellow light gradually illuminated the main hall, but the warm light also clearly illuminated the sadness between Hua Fu's brows.
He said slowly: "Half a month ago, Pingyun State invaded the country. Now my father is guarding Liao province. The situation... is not good."
As Hua Fu spoke, he handed the thin piece of paper in his hand to Murong Yun. On it was the military report of the Hua Family Army.
Murong Yun was stunned when she heard that the Pingyun Kingdom invaded the country. She just subconsciously took the military report. This was not a letter from General Hua to his son, but the current situation of the Hua family's army.
Because the harvest in South Chu this year was not good and there was too much rain, there was a shortage of military pay and rations, and the border soldiers did not have enough food to eat or warm clothes.
Even if the General's Mansion subsidizes it themselves, the General's Mansion's financial resources are not very rich, and the salary is just a drop in the bucket, which is simply not enough.
Therefore, when the Pingyun Kingdom invaded, the situation was not good, and the Pingyun Kingdom itself made a living through animal husbandry. It also happened to be a bad year, and most of the cattle and sheep fell ill and died, making it difficult for them to survive the winter.
Those Pingyun people are all tall and strong, and they are good at riding and shooting. They are much better than the hungry and cold soldiers of the Hua family army.
After robbing the people in the border towns to eat and drink enough for the winter, they continued to occupy them. After this, to prevent the people from starving to death, they had to use the scant military rations and distribute them to the people.
It's even more difficult to endure in this situation.
However, these are not the reasons that shocked Murong Yun, but this plot is actually in the original book.
It's just that it's a little early. The plot that was supposed to happen after winter has happened now in early winter!
Moreover, at the end of this plot, the Hua family army was completely wiped out, and among the twelve counties in Southern Chu, Liao province, where the border town was located, was occupied by Pingyun Kingdom.
Because there was no timely support, General Hua, the original owner's father Hua Yan, and his wife Wang Ru all died in the battle. Only the third son Hua Wu was seriously injured and returned to Liujing...
Because the ministers and the Central Government had different ideas, Emperor Murong Xia was among them, and because the original owner had completely fallen out with the General's house at that time, he was obstructed and was unwilling to send anyone to support him, causing Hua Yan to wait for reinforcements.
In it, a passage that has been criticized by readers is that for the sake of her father and mother, Hua Fu personally went to the house to beg the original owner to persuade the emperor to send troops and provide food. Not only did he get no results but he was humiliated, which directly established her status as the most vicious female supporting character in the whole book.
In sharp contrast to the original protagonist, the heroine Baili Shuangxue was able to rejuvenate herself and rescue Hua Wu who was seriously injured and unconscious and dying.
Also after this time, the originally loyal general's palace disappeared, and without Hua Yan, several young masters led by Hua Fu stood on Li Su's side, and finally supported Li Su's ascension to the throne without hesitation...
So! Huayan must not die! Liao province must not be invaded by Pingyun Kingdom!
Thinking of this, Murong Yun's eyes flashed with determination. Since the plot dared to start early, why won't she dare to change it!
"Brother, A'yun understands what you mean. A'yun will definitely convince Uncle to send military supplies and reinforcements to father as soon as possible."
Murong Yun raised her head, her usually beautiful face lost the squeamishness of the past, and there was a determination in her eyes that Hua Fu had never seen before, which actually made him feel at ease with this sister...
Hua Fu's eyes moved slightly. He stared at Murong Yun's eyes for a long time. He breathed a sigh of relief. He touched Murong Yun's head and said:
"Just try your best. His Majesty, it's not that he doesn't want to, but because there is a situation. Don't force him and end up angering him."
However, even though she said that everyone knew that Murong Yun was favored by the Emperor. It was impossible to say that the Emperor would kill her because of her coquettish behavior.
"Don't worry, eldest brother, uncle loves Ayun the most."
In this regard, Murong Yun can be said to be extremely confident. However, the original book did not describe much of the plot. It only said that the treasury was empty and the garrison of the twelve counties and prefectures was fixed, each performing its own duties. It would be difficult to do so in a short time.
Of course, the original owner was messing around and secretly deceiving the important military affairs. She originally just wanted to mess with the brothers in the General's Mansion who were holding Baili Shuangxue in esteem. When she learned that Hua Yan's father died on the battlefield, she was frightened again.
From Murong Yun's point of view, it was like a child who had a candy jar robbed and tried to attract adults' attention, but accidentally set fire to the house and burned it down.
However, this time, she will not let such stupid plot happen.
After Murong Yun made up her mind, she climbed over the wall from the General's Mansion Garden back to her own yard. When she saw the rose vine that had been pruned by Luan Yi, she took a second look.
Later, someone called Li Yunjin and ordered her to go into the palace in person to meet Emperor Murong Xia's confidant, Eunuch Ling.
Eunuch Ling also watched the original owner grow up. If he was asked to intercede, even during Murong Yun's confinement, she could persuade the emperor to see her...
The princess's mansion is not far from the palace. If everything goes well, it will only take less than two hours to go back and forth.
Now it happened to be dinner time, so Murong Yun simply had the meal placed in the pavilion in the courtyard and waited while eating.
Because it was early winter, the maids were very thoughtful and set up several braziers, although Murong Yun is a seventh-level master, she was not afraid of the cold or heat at all.
However, the dignity that a princess should have is still indispensable.
On the other side of the rose vine wall, under the clean courtyard wall, Li Su sat by the pond as always. On the edge, there were glazed night lamps. Under the flickering lights, several fat koi carps were swimming among them.
There was no moon tonight, so logically, he shouldn't be in the courtyard, but he couldn't help but cast his eyes on the clean wall.
In the morning, the rose vines that had sprouted across the border had been cut clean, not even a single leaf was left.
However, the new shoots may be cut cleanly, but the heart and mind may not be as clean.
"This princess has no intention at all towards Li Su!"
