Chapter 161 CFV Ch.161 Are You Helping Me? (3)
His handsome face was as calm and cool as water, but his gaze was far less calm than what he seemed to be, his pupils were as dark as ink.
The people of Beiyan are nomads on the northern grasslands. For hundreds of years, they have repeatedly invaded the territory of the Central Plains.
Since he was fifteen years old, he had guarded the border with his father and uncle in northern Xinjiang. In just over two years, he had watched the two armies go through no less than 50 battles and watched the Beiyan army burn and kill on the land of Daqi, with his very own eyes. He wasn’t sure how many soldiers and people had been killed at the border. The Beiyan army’s methods were cruel, and the countless acts of slaughtering the people in capitals and villages have ruined many families in Daqi.
Yu Fuyun’s hands that were hidden in his sleeves, tightly clenched into fists, his gaze were as cold as frost.
Ye Luluan, who had his back to Yu Fuyun, glared as he looked at Gu Zezhi in shame, his face was pale, as if he had been slapped in the face, and his tall figure tensed up.
In his opinion, on the battlefield, victory is victory, defeat is defeat. However, Daqi had so many additional requests, why should they have to apologize!
To put it bluntly, the people of Daqi were just trying to suppress them in their peace talk!
Although Ye Luluan was unwilling to do so, the people of Beiyan had always kept to their promises. Since he promised to do so, he will act on it, otherwise he would become a shame to the people of Beiyan.
Ye Luluan gritted his teeth and said: “I’ll keep to my promise!”
A palace lady just filled Gu Zezhi’s cup with alcohol. Gu Zezhi held up the cup elegantly and gave someone diagonally opposite of him a toast.
Qin Jiu followed Gu Zezhi’s gaze in secret, and Yu Fuyun’s handsome face caught her eye.
Yu Fuyun nodded slightly at Gu Zezhi, his expression remained cold as frost.
For some reason, Qin Jiu felt that there was a tacit understanding between the two people.
Could it be that the two of them had worked together?!
This idea just emerged in her head and was rejected by Qin Jiu. In the novel, Gu Zezhi shouldn’t be in the capital now.
Qin Jiu didn’t have a chance to think too much. Qin Zeyu was pouring tea and water for Qin Jiu diligently. He wanted Qin Jiu to introduce Gu Zezhi to him.
Most people didn’t pay attention to the brief eye contact between Gu Zezhi and Yu Fuyun. The atmosphere of the banquet was starting to heat up and there were plenty of warriors who made a toast to him.
It wasn’t until later that day that the palace banquet came to an end.
As soon as Qin Jiu got up, Xiao Kouzi came over with a smile and said, “Miss Qin, the empress wants to see you.”
Qin Jiao responded and followed Xiao Kouzi to meet Empress Wei.
“Jiu, come and have a seat.”
