Wu Mu's heart was beating wildly uncontrollably. At this moment, he was even a little jealous of Shilu because she gave him a smile.
Zhang Xiuyu saw Wu Mu clenching his hands and called in a low voice: "Young Master Wu?"
Wu Mu looked sideways at Zhang Xiuyu and suddenly woke up.
No, you can't!
He was about to marry Zhang Xiuyu and couldn't let her go.
He wants to remove Ye Chuyan from his heart!
Seeing Wu Mu looking at her intently, Zhang Xiuyu hurriedly touched her face, "Young Master Wu, is there something on my face?"
Wu Mu shook his head and twitched the corners of his mouth, "No."
Zhang Xiuyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and saw that Wu Mu's eyes were clear and clear, a little calmer than he had seen in a few days, and he had a handsome and heroic spirit between a boy and a young man. The tips of her ears were instantly dyed red.
Ye Chuyan was riding a horse and riding side by side with Shi Lu. As if feeling something from his heart, he suddenly raised his head and saw Wu Mu and Zhang Xiuyu standing at the second floor window.
Wu Mu smiled, Zhang Xiuyu lowered her head shyly, the two seemed to be talking about love.
Her eyes were a little sore.
He and Zhang Xiuyu stood together, one was high-spirited and the other was shy and charming, it was a match made in heaven.
After her little wood gets married to Zhang Xiuyu, they will definitely have a son and a daughter, and they will live happily ever after!
His life could finally be complete.
so good!
However, she chewed this matter over and over in her heart, and in the end, it was as bitter as coptis.
"Princess, this is a bandit suppression strategy. Take a look."
Shi Lu handed over a document with a cold face, interrupting Ye Chuyan's thoughts.
Ye Chuyan took the document and looked at it. It listed in detail the situation of all the bandits' nests, large and small, within eight hundred miles outside Beijing.
The size, population, and terrain of each cottage are clearly written. Different encirclement and suppression methods are also written in detail for different copycat villages, and the brief introduction is amazing.
Ye Chuyan couldn't help but admire, "Master Shi is really wise and brave."
No wonder Pei Ye is very fond of Shi Lu. With this strategy, he will definitely be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Dafeng court in the future.
Shi Lu choked, turned his head, and said calmly: "I don't dare to take it."
He had previously written a plan to suppress bandits. When Pei Xiuyan showed him this strategy for suppressing bandits, he felt ashamed after reading it.
It's just that Pei Xiuyan didn't want Ye Chuyan to know that he wrote this thing, so he asked himself to help keep it secret.
Although he didn't know why the couple acted like this, he still agreed as a gentleman said.
Ye Chuyan felt that he sincerely praised Shi Lu, but he didn't know why it made him unhappy. He took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Lu.
"I also wrote a strategy for suppressing bandits. How about Sir Shi taking a look at it?"
Shi Lu opened what Ye Chuyan had written and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The plan Pei Xiuyan gave himself was to ensure that everything was foolproof, to eliminate them first and not to leave anyone alive.
However, Ye Chuyan asked to send people to sneak into the gangster's den first to find out if there were any civilians imprisoned. If not, they would all be strangled. This was considered quite carefully.
Ye Chuyan frowned and said nothing when he saw Shi Lu, and explained:
"Some people may be forced to become bandits, and some bandit dens contain civilians who are being held hostage. Once they are attacked, they will inevitably sacrifice innocent people. We cannot suppress bandits at the expense of civilian lives."
Shilu couldn't help but nodded.
When Shi Lu and Ye Chuyan were discussing ways to suppress the bandits, there was a pair of stern eyes lingering on Ye Chuyan from behind, that was Zhang Jing.
Ye Chuyan suddenly looked back, Zhang Jing hurriedly lowered his head, Ye Chuyan's eyes glanced over him, slightly closed his eyes, and continued to discuss with Shi Lu.

Dafeng Palace, Zhengyang Palace.
Pei Ye was playing chess with Pei Xiuyan, and Pei Ye was slightly better.
After he put down the last chess piece, he said with a faint smile: "King Qing, you have never used your full strength in playing chess. You lose to me every time. It's really boring."
Pei Xiuyan said calmly: "The emperor has misunderstood. It is because Wei Chen is not good at chess. It was not intentional."
Pei Ye stood up, took the tea from the eunuch, took a sip, and said calmly: "What are your plans for Beirong?"
Pei Xiuyan didn't expect Pei Ye to be so impatient.
Previously, because he was unwilling to trade Ye Chuyan for the Ten Cities, he had a long game with Pei Ye over the fight against the Japanese, and was finally forced to agree to lead troops to attack Beirong and capture the Ten Cities.
"Na Sheng used the most brutal method to quell the military rebellion, which only temporarily deterred the West. It will inevitably cause more dissatisfaction and backlash in the later period. In less than half a year, public opinion will rise in Beirong."
"The people of Beirong like the cold but not the heat. Every July, the soldiers and horses of Beirong will die from the heat. By then, the territory and the border of Beirong will be in chaos at the same time. Na Sheng must protect the country first. If we take advantage of the situation and capture the border of Beirong , like picking something out of a bag.”
Ayan's suppression of bandits would not be completed until the end of March. He promised Ayan to take her to see Mrs. Ye, which would take more than a month.
It would take more than two months to lead the troops to the border and reorganize military affairs. The latest time he could get was July.
Pei Ye's eyes were dark, he stared at Pei Xiuyan for a long time, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Okay! I believe you!"
Pei Xiuyan's heart sank, and the light in his eyes flashed away.
He understood that what Pei Ye meant was: he believed that he could definitely help him get the ten cities.
He was forced to issue a military order today.
He didn't want to hand over Ye Chuyan, so Pei Ye was forced to agree. Ye Chuyan said that he would lead troops to suppress the bandits, and Pei Ye agreed without hesitation.
Pei Ye was reminding himself that he gave him what he wanted, and he had to give him what he wanted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. I will definitely take ten cities for Dafeng, work hard and die for myself."
Pei Ye looked at Pei Xiuyan, who was lying on the ground with his head bowed, narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.
"Why does the King of the Qing Dynasty need to perform such a great ceremony? He will be saved soon."
After Pei Xiuyan got up, he really didn't want to deal with Pei Ye anymore, so he found a reason to go to the Sixth Department to deal with the backlog of affairs these days.
Only when we got there did we realize that some cities in the south had not received any water before the Spring Festival. The drought and severe cold had caused all the crops in the fields to die.
A large number of disaster victims fled to Kyoto. Officials in the south were afraid of affecting the emperor's mood during the New Year. In addition, Emperor Beirong was visiting, so the matter was suppressed and not reported.
Now that there are more and more refugees, I can no longer cover them up, so I quickly reported them.
All officials from the six ministries gathered together to discuss how to deal with the matter.
When Pei Xiuyan found out, he became furious and demanded on the spot that the officials who concealed the report should be held accountable.

That night, after Ye Chuyan and Shi Lu determined the marching route for the next day, they each returned to their tents.
Ye Chuyan lay on the couch, raised his hands and kept looking at them.
Why are these hands so dirty?
Zhao Yujiao's legs were lame and Pei Xiuyan's eyes were blinded.
She felt like she was being held hostage by hatred, doing things that she once disdained and hated.
However, she really couldn't let go.
She couldn't let go of Pei Xiuyan's endless indifference and torture to her, she couldn't let go of her father and brother kneeling on the snow and being languished, and she couldn't let go of the fetus that disappeared before it was even formed.
The entanglement of love and hate between her and Pei Xiuyan would torture her over and over again in her dreams in the dead of night.
It made her miserable and life was worse than death.
For this reason, she severed her relationship with Wu Mu and withdrew all her love for Pei Xiuyan.
His love for Pei Xiuyan turned into hatred, and finally he polished it into a knife of revenge, waiting for a suitable opportunity to insert the knife into his heart.
She lived like a dragon.
