Chapter 255 This is a good idea
Looking into Yun Yi's bright eyes, Jing Han suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Bai Jianming. He felt that once this guy left and returned, the border would probably be in turmoil. However, this thought was fleeting: "I don't know the exact date, but it should be in the next few days."
“Today is already the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. If we ride at full speed from here, it will take about eight or nine days to reach the capital. If there is a slight delay, it will take ten days to half a month.” Yunyi stroked her chin. “I reckon we should be able to get back before the Lunar New Year. So even if we don’t leave today, we will leave tomorrow.”
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Indeed, there are, but implementation may be difficult."
Tell me what you want to do.
"To turn his troops against him."
"What?" Jing Han was stunned for a moment.
"Think about it. Nowadays, armies basically follow their generals. General Gu's Gu Family Army was practically a divine force, numbering around 100,000, right? Unfortunately, they suffered a defeat at Tianyang Pass, losing 30,000 men, many of whom perished. But what about the remaining 70,000?"
In ancient times, armies were named after the general they followed, such as the most famous Yue Fei's Yue Family Army.
Jing Han lowered his eyes, concealing the complex emotions within.
"Those 70,000 men are border troops, familiar with the border and Northern Liang. Although there have been changes in the past 20 years, their skills have been passed down, right?"
Jing Han remained silent, because Yun Yi didn't need him to say anything.
"So, I reckon that half of the current 100,000 Bai family soldiers are the original Gu family soldiers, right?"
Jing Han raised his eyes: "You want them to rebel?"
"Rebellion?" Yun Yi frowned. "What are you thinking? Besides, what's the pretext for rebellion?" She then rolled her eyes at the other person.
Jing Han touched his nose.
“However, even if we don’t rebel, it doesn’t prevent us from controlling the army,” Yunyi smiled. “At least we can protect ourselves if something happens.”
"how do you want to do it?"
"General Gu is gone, but there is still Young General Gu, and even a little General Gu."
"you……"
"Gu Chengrui is the former Crown Princess's twin brother, the young general of the Gu family, a once-famous and dashing young man. What if he joined the Bai family army..."
Jing Han's eyes lit up: "That's a great idea."
"Then you should go and talk to General Gu. He's been handling miscellaneous tasks at the school and teaching the children tactics and martial arts, but he's not really suited to be a teacher, so it would be a waste of his talents for him to stay here."
The original owner had seen Gu Chengrui in his prime, a man who was the dream of many young girls in the capital. However, due to the age difference and the fact that he was stationed at the border for many years, the original owner was not familiar with him. Moreover, the original owner was love-struck and only had eyes for the Third Prince.
Jing Han's eyes flickered: "Me, go and talk to them? Is that appropriate?"
"What do you think?"
Jing Han's heart skipped a beat. At times, he even felt that the woman in front of him had seen through everything all along, and that she actually knew his identity all along, but she still calmly looked at him... It was just an act.
"Whether you go or not is up to you," Yunyi said, stretching. "Alright, goodnight." She then turned to leave.
"Yunyi".
"Ok?"
"I will tell you everything when I have the chance."
"Okay." Yunyi waved without turning her head and left.
Jing Han took a deep breath and went out to the place where Gu Chengrui lived in the back.
Yunyi stood in the corner watching Jing Han's back, a slight smile playing on her lips, before turning and going back to her room.
"Boss, there's something wrong with Jing Han, a really big problem." Sixteen chimed in.
Can you spot any problems?
【cannot. 】
"Then go wash up and go to bed." Yunyi yawned and got into bed.
Boss, even if I can't see the problem directly, I can spot something.
Which point?
She wants to date you.
Yunyi: ...
"Boss, don't you believe me? The way he looks at you is the way a man looks at a woman."
[Heh, if he looks at me like a man looking at a man or a woman looking at a woman, then I'm in trouble.]
"Boss, this is so pointless. You've been in thousands of relationships, you're not some clueless naive girl. Pretending to be stupid is wrong of you. What I mean is, the way a man looks at a woman he likes—if he wasn't afraid of offending you and hadn't been holding back, I reckon his eyes would practically fly right into your face."
"That's not impossible, after all, that face is indeed beautiful." Yunyi touched her face. "It's human nature to be attracted to beauty."
Just pretend you're stupid.
"Why should I pretend?" Yun Yi frowned, pulling the blanket up a little higher. "What's my situation right now? Is this the time for romance? What if I get involved in revenge? Besides, he has secrets; what if I get implicated? So, at this moment, I can only play dumb."
That makes so much sense.
"Go to sleep. If you want to be in a relationship, then hurry up and find a body to sleep with." Yunyi said, closing her eyes and blocking Sixteen as well.
sixteen:……
Going to bed so early? It's only 8:30 pm now, you used to go to bed at midnight, didn't you? Let's get up and chat.
The next morning, Ning Xingchen came running over with dark circles under her eyes: "I've finished the contract, take a look."
"You didn't sleep all night?" Yunyi gave him a disdainful look. "Is it really necessary?"
"As for it, let's hurry up. Once you've reviewed it and there are no problems, sign and put your fingerprint on it so I can get back to Beijing as soon as possible."
Yunyi stopped talking, looked down at the contract, pointed out the parts she disagreed with, made the revisions, and then signed and sealed it.
"Then I'm leaving." Ning Xingchen put the contract into his pocket. "Go back and prepare. Let's try to open for business after the New Year."
"Okay." Yun Yi nodded, and after seeing Ning Xingchen off, she went to find Zhao Dazhuang.
After listening to Yunyi's description, Zhao Dazhuang said there was no problem; the only issue was the iron material.
Yunyi's eyes flashed: "Iron material is not a problem. Now, use the iron material you have to make one for me to see. Here are the blueprints."
"Okay." Zhao Dazhuang took the blueprints, glanced at them, and nodded. "It should be ready in about two days."
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Just then, Dazhuang's mother came out: "Girl, it's so good to see you here. I made you a pair of shoes. Do they fit?" As she spoke, she opened the cloth bag in her arms. "Otherwise, I was just about to go to the front to find you. If they don't fit, I'll make some alterations."
Just as Yunyi took the shoes, she heard Liu Mei's voice coming from outside: "Is Sister Dou here?"
