Chapter 997: There Is a Beauty in the North

After leaving this woman alone for a few days, her arrogance subsided a lot, and she also fully recognized the reality. Now she is no longer the noble lady of the marquisate a few months ago. The difference in status is as great as heaven and earth.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, the upper echelons may push the crime onto her father, and she will have to bear the identity of a daughter of a criminal general.

She will not fall into the dust, after all, she has guarded the north gate for generations, and the court will not sit idly by and watch such a thing happen. But the treatment she received in the past will definitely be reset to zero.

Naturally, this is the worst case scenario. If she can rise from adversity and revive the family tradition, those "old friends" in the past will naturally come to her, and the family lintel will not be lost.

She wanted to go to Langyankou with all her heart. With her status, she naturally knew that Zhang Tianwen was in Langyankou, and she also hoped that Zhang Tianwen would remember the old friendship and give her hope of restoring the family lintel.

If Wu Yi was Zhang Tianwen, he might be moved emotionally, but reason told him that choosing Tianlang City as the main battlefield would fall into the strategy of the northern tribes. The more troops he invested, the more losses he would suffer. He had to choose a new battlefield.

Send Wu Yi as cannon fodder, and don't waste any more manpower.

Then you also understand that people who can achieve this position are acting emotionally or rationally. People like Zhang Tianwen represent not only himself, but also a huge group behind him.

There is no doubt that Zhang Tianwen has his own private affairs, because this is personal interest. Everyone has it. It's strange that people don't have it. However, when personal interests conflict with group interests, how Zhang Tianwen will choose, Wu Yi can guess with his toes.

If this woman surrenders to Zhang Tianwen, then Zhang Tianwen's best response is to appease this woman with kind words to resolve the friendship between old friends. On the surface, he will naturally agree to recapture Tianlang City, but when it comes to specific military information, he will shirk and slowly consume it.

Thinking of this, Wu Yi couldn't help but feel some sympathy for this woman, but this thought was also fleeting. One's own judgment must be absolutely rigorous and rigorous, and the decision must be decisive, and cannot be affected by these distracting thoughts.

He asked Gan Tianba and others to find a meal that was worthy of a meal. Wu Yi sat opposite this woman. The food was very rough, but on the march, it was lucky to have fresh food to eat, and you didn't have to eat bran.

Wu Yi seemed to be alone, and he ate heartily by himself. As for the woman opposite, she closed her eyes and said nothing. If she hadn't covered her ears with her hands, she would definitely not want to hear the sound of Wu Yi chewing.

After eating eight points full, Wu Yi raised his head comfortably, saw the beautiful face in front of him, shook his head and smiled, he must be a fool who didn't know the height of the world in her mind.

Before, Gan Tianba and others mistakenly thought that Wu Yi had taken a fancy to this woman. Although there were no gold hairpins and jade silk decorations in the army, there was still an endless supply of clean water every day. After all, she was a noble woman. Even without rouge, her skin was whiter than that of ordinary women.

After hearing the chewing sound stop for a while, the woman slowly opened her eyes, but the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Wu Yi's sharp eyes, looking straight at her, without any cover.

The eyes were very strange. In the past, other people looked at her with more or less lust, but in this look, some were just appreciation. This woman would not understand that Wu Yi's age was enough to be her grandfather's grandfather.

How many women had he seen to be able to have such a mind and not be tempted by a woman? What a playboy! The next moment, this thought popped up in the woman's mind, and there was a little more disdain and disgust in her eyes when she looked at Wu Yi.

Wu Yi noticed the change in her attitude, and his brain circuit didn't think of this level at all. He just thought that she was dissatisfied with his direct eyes. It's simply two dimensions of understanding.

Women are really strange animals. They are disrespectful when approached. They hope that everyone will be their licking dog and kneel down under their skirts. Then they will complain that no man is good and they all think about their lower body.

It's not okay to get close to her, so what about staying away from her? It's not okay either. If you stay away from her, you will complain, complain that you are fickle, blame you for breaking your vows, blame you... and then complain that no man is good, they are all...

A small episode does not affect Wu Yi's purpose today. Wu Yi doesn't care about the attitude of this woman towards him. If he really worries that this woman will retaliate against him after she becomes rich in the future, he would not have humiliated her in front of everyone like that before.

"The Lord of Tianlang City - Gu Beifeng, is a founding viscount. He has three sons and one daughter. His only daughter is named Gu Qingyue. Because of her natural beauty, she is also called Gu Qingcheng!"

"There are rumors outside that Viscount Gu dotes on his only daughter. There are even rumors that Gu Beifeng wants his only daughter to inherit the family title. Is that true?" Wu Yi took the lead in opening the topic. As for the source of the news, Wu Yi has almost done all the research in the past few days.

The Lord of Tianlang City is a noble family. There is still a lot of news about them. In the past, they might have been worried about being punished for talking nonsense. Now that their family is almost broken up, what else is there to be afraid of? Therefore, rumors are flying everywhere. Wu Yi also basically restored the face of this woman after comprehensive analysis.

"The talk of the market is unbearable to hear!" Gu Qingyue, or Gu Qingcheng, raised her proud head, snorted coldly, and disdained to answer.

Since Wu Yi raised this question, he did not expect any answer. It was just like choosing a crown prince for a dynasty. Before the result came out, everyone was just guessing.

"I don't know if it's unbearable to hear, but I guess you don't think much of that little baron!" Wu Yi laughed, his smile was somewhat unfathomable.

Gu Beifeng was a founding viscount, and under the inheritance system, he was demoted three levels. If Gu Qingyue wanted to inherit his title, then what he inherited would be a baron, the lowest level of title.

Of course, although under the ten-level title system, the baron is the lowest, but compared with the official rank, it is the same as the seventh rank, which is about the head of a county.

Ordinary people may not be able to get this position after accumulating for several generations, but Gu Qingyue had this status when she was born.

Hearing Wu Yi's laughter, Gu Qingyue thought Wu Yi was deliberately teasing her, so she ignored him.

"It is rumored that Gu Qingcheng got married at a young age, which made countless talented people sigh. I wonder who the person she married was?"

"This is my private matter, it has nothing to do with you!" Gu Qingyue didn't want to talk more with Wu Yi, but when the other party asked this, she couldn't help but frowned, quite dissatisfied.
