1763 You 2
“The Saint Divine Land is under the rule of two lords, Lord Yan and Lord Yu. Lord Yan may be lacking in intelligence, while Lord Yu is astute but uninterested in court affairs. Whoever we choose to support will prove advantageous for us.”
“…”
“Officer Junyi, your aspiration is to beco the strategist for the King. However, the Jin King already occupies the throne, fortified by the Shadow Door, the Phoenix Girl, Pri Minister Chu, and General Liu. You have not been recruited. If you desire access to all these resources, why not collaborate with us and forge new possibilities?”
“…”
“If we succeed, Officer Junyi, you shall receive great honor. If we fail, you will rely remain in your current state.”
“…”
“What are your thoughts?” Gu Ruxue spoke confidently, delivering the words she was expected to say.
He gazed at Gu Ruxue.
He had always possessed a keen ability to assess people. Having spent considerable ti with her, he recognized that Gu Ruxue lacked any semblance of intelligence.
But upon hearing her proposition…
He was acutely aware that she had discerned his ambitions and what would sway him.
It was highly unlikely that these ideas had originated from Gu Ruxue herself.
Soone must be pulling the strings behind her.
This realization puzzled him.
Initially, he had no intention of lending an ear to her proposal, but evidently, her words had struck a chord within him.
The individual orchestrating events from the shadows must have their own agenda and strategies.
Such a plan warranted Junyi’s attention.
If that were the case…
Why not give it a try?
If he erged victorious, he would gain honor. If he failed, he would return to his previous life.
“Very well. However, I must et the person who is behind you. If everything proceeds smoothly, I will join your cause,” Junyi declared.
Gu Ruxue displayed neither excessive joy nor surprise.
She had already been inford of the expected outco when tasked with delivering the ssage.
Everything was proceeding according to plan.
Gu Ruxue maintained her emotionless facade.
However, she couldn’t help but feel surprised by the identity of the mastermind behind the plan.
To her astonishnt, he turned out to be a remarkably forward-thinking individual.
“Just go,” Gu Ruxue instructed, gesturing for Junyi to follow her lead.
She showed no emotion towards Junyi, as she had never held any respect for a man like him in her heart.
Yet, after experiencing nurous trials and tribulations, she realized the need to let go of her arrogance.
Junyi, on the other hand, had never respected a woman like Gu Ruxue.
His concern lay solely with the person who was pulling the strings behind her and whether they possessed the necessary power and abilities.
The wagon eventually halted in front of Duke North Mansion.
Gu Ruxue ordered the servants to allow Junyi to disembark.
As Junyi stepped off the wagon, he found himself taken aback by what awaited him.
Duke North?
Junyi recalled Duke North’s past endeavors to attain his rank. However, despite his efforts, Duke North held no substantial authority. When entrusted with military responsibilities, he faltered at the border and subsequently lost everything.
Could it really be him?
Junyi hesitated.
Duke North was not known for his power or competence. Rebellion required strategic thinking and intelligence. It demanded individuals with abilities.
“Officer Junyi, please don’t waste Piaomiao Pavilion’s ti.”
