Qin Rouni studied and learned to read with her father since she was a child. In that era, not to mention women, even men with bad luck, there were very few people who had the conditions to study. She dared not say that she was well-versed in the past, but her knowledge was far beyond ordinary people. Although she was not as generous and heroic as Hong Niang, it was difficult to compare with the royal nobles like Yardan who had received systematic education. She was determined and grand, but she was better in her meticulous mind and could often find some inconspicuous things from clues. The institutions she now mastered were just the most needed for her characteristics.

Seeing the Hongniang march into Xiangzhou, Cheng Qun immediately realized the strangeness in this matter. Cheng Qun had no reason to do so. In terms of attacking Congliang Su Can and encircling Hongniang, who is more important, a discerning person can tell at a glance.

"Cheng Qun's reason left the Great Yue court speechless, preventing the northwest of the empire from in chaos, thereby affecting the overall situation of the Central Plains rebellion. Under Cheng Qun's big hat, Li Jian could only eat coptis chinensis in a mute manner and could not speak," Zi Yan smiled and said, "But this would be too beneficial for us. At least, the pressure faced by the two generals Su will be greatly reduced!"

"Cheng Qun wants to secede the northwest!" Rou Niang said slowly, "The White Lotus Sect bandits occupy Shanzhou and Ganzhou, and then attack Xiangzhou, while Cheng Qun wanted to defeat the White Lotus Sect army, connect Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou, Ganzhou, and Shanzhou into one piece, and build his own base. Become a de facto prince! If he has this idea, he will inevitably disperse his power. For us, it is indeed a good thing!"

"Why is that Empress a little unhappy?" Zi Yan said with a smile. "Cheng Qun has two hearts for the Great Yue Center, which is a great thing for us."

A trace of pain flashed through Rouniang's eyes, "I'm worried that Cheng Qun will suffer a big loss."

"How is that possible?" Zi Yan asked in surprise: "According to our intelligence, Cheng Qun mobilized Liu Huajian's leading guards and Jiang Guangyu's Leopard Guards. These two armies are elite troops that have gone through great battles. Regardless of the elite level of soldiers, equipment, or the command ability of generals, I think they are far from comparable to the White Lotus Army. This will inevitably lead to a great victory this time. Once he wins, he will inevitably make great efforts to compete in the northwest. In this way, the pressure of Su Cong's two generals will be greatly reduced."

"That's that simple!" Rou Niang smiled bitterly and said to the two girls who were waving their fans behind her: "You guys go down!"

"Yes, Empress!" The two girls bowed and left the pavilion.

"The leader of the bandits in the White Lotus Sect, the saint is called Hong Niangzi!" Rou Niang said slowly: "It's my old acquaintance!"

Ziyan was surprised. Rouniang had never mentioned these old things to her.

"What's more important is that the relationship between Hong Niangzi and Brother Yun is far beyond others' imagination." When talking about Yun Zhao, Qin Rouni's eyelids drooped, and a trace of imperceptible pain flashed.

"Brother Yun?" Zi Yan didn't react for a moment. Seeing Qin Rouniang's drooping eyelids, she suddenly realized, "Governor of the North Army!"

"This matter is extremely secret. We know, but Cheng Qun may not know. Brother Yun will watch Hong Niang encounter a catastrophe in Jiangnan, and will inevitably send troops to rescue him. With the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army and its unexpected surprise, Cheng Qun will be defeated. Once he is shot, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses!" Rou Niang looked solemn.

"There are natural dangers in the south and north of the Yangtze River. Cheng Qun controls the Jingzhou Navy. How can the Northern Expedition Army cross the river?" Zi Yan shook her head and said, "There are fewer people coming here, and it will become a delicacy for Cheng Qun in vain. He will definitely accept it with a smile."

"You don't know Brother Yun!" Rou Niang sighed, "He will do everything he wants to do, and he will do it." Looking up at the outside of the pavilion, the wind swayed willows, ripples, and a ray of light suddenly flashed in his eyes. "Many years ago, he said he wanted to give me a leopard skin, and carried a bow knife. He stayed in the jungle for nearly a month, and after all the hardships, he finally caught a leopard. When he came back, he was like a savage, and I almost couldn't recognize him."

Speaking of this, it seemed that the hidden pain in my heart was touched. My brows were slightly frowned, my hands were stroked by my back, and my face looked painful.

"Grandma, be careful!" Zi Yan hurried forward and supported her, looking at the other party's pale face, "Grandma, the past is gone, and the memories are heartbroken, it's better not to say it!"

"The past is gone... the past is gone..." Rou Niang murmured: "Zi Yan, when she was in Ganzhou, Hong Niang once told me that I don't love Brother Yun at all. I have long forgotten him. The so-called longing is just a ray of obsession in my heart. In the erosion of time, I have long forgotten my original purpose. There, I chose to go with the Fourth Master and gave up Brother Yun, who has been young for more than ten years. Am I really as Hong Niang said, a shameless woman who is innocent and shameless, and has no dissatisfaction with others?"

Zi Yan looked at Qin Rounniang with some shock, "No, it's not like this, Empress. You and Governor Yun grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. Please forgive me for your fault. I am afraid that the love between brother and sister is far better than that between men and women. You are different from the Fourth Master. You have experienced life and death together and suffering together. Those kind of love, people who have not experienced despair can never imagine it. Moreover, at that time, Governor Yun's situation and the Fourth Master were in heaven and earth. Governor Yun held heavy troops and was the object of win over all parties. No one dared to offend him. The Fourth Master was an imperial offender of the court. He was in danger and could die at any time. At that time, you chose to experience life and death with the Fourth Master at that time, which made you more affectionate and a rare good woman."

"Men and women are only concerned with their hearts, not with their right or wrong!" Zi Yan continued.

It seemed that Zi Yan's reassurance made Rou Niang feel a little better, and her face slightly regained a little bloody color, "Maybe you are right, Hong Niang is a person who is more suitable for Brother Yun than me. I hope they can become a relative of the gods as soon as possible, so that I will feel better in my heart."

"Empress, I still don't understand what I said before!" For fear that Rou Niang would be unable to extricate herself from the memories, Zi Yan quickly opened up the topic, "Whether Cheng Qun wins or Cheng Qun loses, for us, there are all benefits but no harm. He will be powerless to deal with the two generals Cong Su. Why are you so worried?"

"I'm afraid that most people will only see the surface of this matter!" Rou Niang shook her head, "If Cheng Qun wins, the strategic balance in the north will be maintained. Even if Su and the others are shocked, there will be no danger. Cheng Qun will not suppress their old capital and fight to the death with them, but will preserve their strength, maintain the status quo, and act according to the opportunity, but if Cheng Qun loses..."

"So what?" Ziyan continued.

"The balance is broken!" Rou Niang shook her head and said, "Cheng Qun lost the foundation of independence. The narrow strategic space of Jiangzhou and Jingzhou made him have no foundation for self-protection. Once the war between the two sides ended, he would definitely become the first target to be liquidated. Therefore, Cheng Qun must make a choice after the defeat!"

"We, maybe Li Jian!" Rou Niang's voice suddenly rose, "He will become the winner of this battle! He threw himself at us, and Xue Chengyi would be unable to stop us from running to Tongzhou, entering Weizhou, and going straight to Beijing. On the contrary, he would inevitably work together with Xue Chengyi, attacking the Su Group on both sides, defeating it, and then follow the trend to the south, attack Jiangnan, and redeem his sins to win Li Jian's favor!"

Listening to Rou Niang's analysis, Zi Yan's face finally looked ugly.

"The victory or defeat of this Central Plains battle is actually in the hands of a defeated general. If this is true, I would still pray that Cheng Qun will win!"

"I'm afraid it's difficult!" Rou Niang shook her head.

"We will immediately send Cheng Qun the relationship between Hong Niangzi and Governor Yun to let him take precautions in advance!" Zi Yan said loudly.

Rou Niang shook the file in her hand, "How long will it take to go? I'm afraid that when your information is delivered, it's already settled. We have to prepare several times!"

While the two were speechless, a servant came hurried from a distance, "Empress, the Fourth Master is back!"

"The Fourth Master is back?" Zi Yan looked at the end of the corridor in surprise, "The Fourth Master is dealing with Wang Xiang. Now is a great opportunity to wipe out Wang Xiang's troops. Why did the Fourth Master return to Ezhou at this time?"

He lifted up the file in his hand, "Of course it was because he saw this!" Rou Niang said. "Compared with this, what is Wang Xiang's worth?"

While speaking, Li Xiao's figure had already appeared in the sight of the two of them. Li Xiao, who was wearing armor, pressed the handle of the knife and walked towards him with great strides. Behind him, a burly general was also following.

"So Xiong Kuohai is back too!" Zi Yan said with a smile.

The gauze curtain was rolled up, and Ziyan helped Rou Niang come out.

Seeing Rou Niang bowing and saluting, Li Xiao threw the helmet in his hand to Xiong Kuohai behind him. He took two steps and helped Qin Rou Niang up with both hands, "What are you doing with so many gifts? Don't hurt the fetus in your belly! Are you okay these days? Are you not feeling uncomfortable, right?"

Qin Rouniang smiled and said, "Uncle is in Ezhou City, how could anything happen?"

Li Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, raised his head and smiled, "To be honest, now I always forget that my uncle was a famous miracle doctor in Jiangnan back then. With him, you and your mother will be safe and sound." He reached out to support Qin Rouniang, "Go in quickly, the sun outside is very poisonous."

"See the Empress!" It was not until this time that Xiong Kuohai strode forward and bowed to Rou Niang. In Luzhou, when Rou Niang and Li Xiao were in despair, Xiong Kuohai, who sold the Dali Wan, gave them a lot of help. Later, because of the two of them, even my mother's life was given. After they came to the south with the two, Xiong Kuohai joined the army and fought for several years. He fought bravely. In addition, there were people in the court, so he was naturally extremely promoted. Now he is a general who leads tens of thousands of people.

"Brother Xiong is out!" Qin Rouniang waved his hand. "Ziyan, you greet Brother Xiong for me."

Zi Yan's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, "Yes, Empress!" She walked to Xiongkuohai and said softly: "General Xiong, please come with me!"

Looking at the two of them leaving, Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, "They're the two?"

Qin Rouniang smiled and said, "You can't tell this yet. They are both lovers and I'm interested, so I won't be nodding!"

Li Xiao laughed, "So that's it. I'll talk about Xiong Kuohai, a sparse and generous person, when he came back with me this time, he sold the door to buy some jewelry and other things. It turned out to be given to Ziyan. Well, it's not bad. If you see these things well, you will allow them!"
