Poor Lady - Chapter 91

An enemy of an enemy is a friend. Jinyun intends to promote the alliance between the Shang people and Boya.

Bo Ya is now at a disadvantage, if there is no support, the battle situation will soon be controlled by Qingying. Being held by the ambitious Qing Ying to control the general trend of the Western Regions is definitely not what the Shang Clan would like to see. With this premise, the alliance between the Shang people and Boya also conforms to the current situation.

When it comes to forming an alliance, Qi Surong suddenly remembered the brocade handkerchief Huang Zheng gave her before leaving the customs. Embroidered on the jinpa is a ferocious wolf head, which is the symbol of the blue wolf clan.

“Since we want to promote an alliance, it’s better to give Boyala a few more allies.” Qi Surong smiled.

Jin Yun pondered: “The Canglang Clan hates the civil war, and I’m afraid they won’t intervene.” He has been with Tut for more than two years, and he knows the situation of the various clans in the Western Regions. “But…”

He took the Jinpa in Qi Surong’s hand and looked at it for a moment, then said, “The white wolf head is the symbol of the Patriarch of the Blue Wolf Clan. If the person who gave you the Jinpa has a good relationship with the Patriarch of the Blue Wolf, then an alliance might be feasible.”

“Then try it.”

The two negotiated properly and began to actively make friends with the Shang clan, secretly provoking their dissatisfaction with Qingying, and seemingly unintentionally discussed the feasibility of an alliance, so as to make this idea as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as possible.

Finally, five days later, someone took the initiative to propose an alliance with Boa to the patriarch, and it was approved by the majority.

The patriarch of the Shang clan hesitated, secretly weighing the pros and cons. The supporters said: “Patriarch, if we don’t form an alliance at this time, and when Qingying has the upper hand, our situation will be in danger.”

“Yes, please make a decision as soon as possible by the patriarch.”

The generals tried their best to persuade, but the patriarch still did not let go.

Afterwards, a general who had a good relationship with Gu Jinyun complained to him about it. Jin Yun said: “The patriarch is worried that Boya’s strength is not enough to compete with Qingying, and the joining of the Shang clan may be a drop in the bucket, and it will not affect the battle situation.”

“Well, then we can only sit on the sidelines and wait for Qingying to sit down?”

“If there are more powers to ally with Boa, the nobleman should not hesitate.”

“what do you mean?”

“I have a little friendship with the Patriarch of the Blue Wolf Clan. If you can trust me, I can try to persuade the Blue Wolf Clan to join the alliance.”

The general was overjoyed and took Jin Yun’s shoulder: “Let’s go, let’s discuss with the patriarch.”

Things went more smoothly than expected. The Patriarch of the Shang Clan was obviously quite moved by the alliance. Now that he heard that Gu Jinyun might convince the Blue Wolf Clan, he readily agreed to let him go to the Blue Wolf Clan to facilitate the alliance.

Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong then left the Shang clan and rushed to the Canglang clan with several soldiers of the Shang clan.

The two of them had just tried it out for a while. Unexpectedly, the Patriarch of the Canglang Clan and Huang Zheng had a fateful friendship. He was also quite dissatisfied with Qingying’s actions, and after considering it again and again, he agreed to form an alliance with Boya.

Not only that, but he also brought Canglang’s brotherhood into the alliance.

With their strength, Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong gradually changed the pattern of the entire Western Regions. Under their direct or indirect facilitation, the two opposing forces were formally formed.

The Western Regions fell into civil war and no longer had time to take care of the Central Plains.

This matter soon spread to the capital, King Jing was both surprised and delighted, and sighed in a low voice: “What a capable person can’t.”

Qi Surong and Gu Jinyun successfully retired and returned home together. But their actions were relatively secretive, and they didn’t even go to say goodbye to Huang Zheng. They just sent a letter to someone, saying that they would come to visit in the future.

Afterwards, he reported safety to the family and told them that they would definitely return home during the autumn harvest.

The two have been separated for several years and finally meet again, but they encounter various difficulties and cannot express their sincere feelings to each other. Now that the big event is over, they decided to temporarily leave everything behind and travel all over the country.

In the inn, Qi Surong took off his men’s clothes, put down his long hair, restored his face, and stood in front of Gu Jinyun in plain clothes.

Gu Jinyun raised his hand to touch her slightly thin face, gently pulled up her hand, saw the thin calluses on it, and felt pain in his heart.

“Su Rong…”

“No need to say more.” Qi Surong stared at him quietly, the strength and affection in her eyes had already told everything.

Gu Jinyun embraced her in his arms, full of love gathered in his chest, turned into a flame, sweeping the whole body.

The curtain was lowered, and the two were extremely entwined, going crazy all night…

Qi Surong returned to women’s clothing, traveled with Gu Jinyun in the mountains during the day, and lingered in sorrow at night, without wasting any time.

Gu’s shops are all over the country, and Qi Surong holds the seal of the head of the family, and can withdraw silver taels at any time at the shop, and inspect the operation of the branch by the way. Gu Jinyun secretly admired his wife’s ability to develop the Gu family’s business to such a degree. He made up his mind that he would work harder in the future to be a man who could keep pace with his wife.

Su Rong is different from ordinary women, standing in the vast world, she is even more dazzling. He didn’t want to trap her in a deep boudoir, so if that’s the case, then walk side by side and join hands in the future.

Gu Jinyun held Qi Surong’s hand and walked in the street calmly, not caring about those strange eyes at all.

At night, when the two were lying on the bed, Qi Surong touched her belly and suddenly said, “Jin Yun, I want to have a baby for you, but my belly has not moved for so long.”

Gu Jinyun was silent for a moment, then said warmly, “Don’t worry, we are still young.”

“Hmm.” Qi Surong hugged his waist, leaned her face on his shoulder, and said with a smile, “I hope I can conceive your child before I go home.”

Gu Jinyun hugged her sideways, his expression solemn, and his heart was bitter. Su Rong didn’t know yet that she might never have children in her life. For the first time, what he had done to her, driven by drugs, had caused irreparable harm.

Seeing that she was so looking forward to the birth of the child, he really couldn’t tell her this cruel truth.

Sorry, Su Rong.

Gu Jinyun’s heart was like a knife, and he wondered whether Su Rong would hate him after knowing the truth.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help palpitating, and a strong sense of fear hit his heart. He can’t lose Su Rong, no matter if she hates him or not, he won’t let go.

The two went north all the way, stopped and walked, and unknowingly spent nearly a month of happy time.

Worrying about the family, they send letters home every few days.

If it wasn’t for someone in the family who was still thinking about it, the two of them even wanted to go hand in hand to the end of the world.

However, traveling in the mountains and water also requires a price. When the two passed through a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, Qi Surong suddenly fell ill with a cold.

Gu Jinyun was very nervous, and asked the doctor to look at it, and he was sure that it was only Xiao Fenghan who was a little relieved.

“Let’s stay in this town for a few days for the time being, until your body fully recovers before setting off.”

Qi Surong naturally had no objection and stayed in the room at ease to accept Jin Yun’s meticulous care.

Two days later, Su Rong’s condition improved, and Gu Jinyun took her out to breathe. The two walked along the street, very comfortable.

They didn’t know that just above a restaurant not far from them, someone was staring at them with two sinister eyes, and the deep hatred made people tremble.

Gu Jinyun paused, turned around and looked around.

“What’s wrong?” Qi Surong asked.

“It’s all right.” Gu Jinyun put down his guard and walked to Su Rong’s side as a form of protection.

The two of them were tired from playing and went back to the inn. After washing up, they went to bed early.

The next day, Gu Jinyun went to the medical store to buy medicine, intending to keep a few on him for backup.

As soon as he left on the front foot, several people entered the inn on the back foot, dazed Qi Surong, and carried her to the outside of the city.

“It was brought.” In the woods, several people threw Qi Surong on the ground and shouted not far away.

A woman with a veil on her face quickly came out from behind the bushes, accompanied by several robust followers.

“Very well, this is your reward.” The woman threw them a bag of silver.

Several kidnappers took a count, and after confirming that they were correct, they said with a smile, “The money and the goods are cleared.” Then they quickly turned and left.

The woman walked to the groggy Qi Surong and stared at her condescendingly.

Qi Surong covered her forehead, looked up with difficulty, and asked inarticulately, “Who are you…?”

The woman squatted down and slowly lifted the veil on her face, revealing a familiar face, which was Luo Yanyi, who had been missing for a long time.

Since the Eighth Prince lost power, Luo Yanyi, the Eighth Princess, disappeared together with the Eighth Prince. I didn’t expect that after years of separation, there would be a chance to see you again.

“It’s you…” Qi Surong secretly cried out. Luo Yanyi can be said to be the person who hates her the most in the world. In her previous life, her hands were destroyed because of her, and she almost died. The mother also died because of her depression. Is she still unable to escape this fate in this life?

“That’s right, it’s me.” Luo Yanyi said in a cold voice, “Are you happy to meet your old friends again? Back then ‘thanks’ to you for ruining my marriage with Duke Dongyuan Hou. You say, how should I thank you?”

“Whoever you marry is up to you, don’t put the blame on others.” If she hadn’t been too pushy, how could she have said so much? She could have been prosperous forever, but now she has completely changed her fate. She is no longer the cold-hearted Qi Surong from before, and she will no longer have the slightest sympathy for her.

“Hmph, I’m not interested in arguing with you.” Luo Yanyi suddenly pulled out a dagger, her tone gloomy, “I’ll finish you with a knife this time, and I won’t give you another chance to turn over.”

As she said that, she raised the dagger and stabbed at her heart, her eyes full of madness.

Qi Surong closed her eyes and recited a name in her heart: Jin Yun.

“Ah!” There was a scream, followed by the sound of swords colliding.

Qi Surong opened her eyes and saw Luo Yanyi clutching her bleeding shoulder, lying on her back with a pale face, the dagger that had been stabbed at her also fell aside, and several followers who came with her were fighting with them.

At this moment, a pair of strong hands embraced her, and a familiar breath hit her nose.

“Jin Yun.” Qi Surong called in a weak but joyful voice.

“I’m sorry, I’m late.” He hugged his wife tightly, staring coldly at the woman on the ground.

He will not make the same mistake again!
