Witch, my Yuan Yang body has been cured again

Chu Bushe listened from the side and didn't dare to say a word.

What's going on...

How could his nature be brought to the point where it caused great suffering to all living things?

Don't think too much about it!

Fortunately, this increasingly heated topic came to an end with the end of this round.

The guests dispersed, but there were still many people left on the cruise ship.

This group of guests all have higher status and can inquire about a wider range of information.

Chu Bushe knew that he had obtained the honored guest jade token through the back door and was an exception.

If I upgrade normally based on my spending quota, how many bellybands would I need to buy...

"A distinguished guest, Lan Yu."

"A distinguished guest of Ziyu."

"A distinguished guest, Baiyu."

As the maid announced, the guests walked into the pavilion one by one and were divided into different rooms.

"To enter the pavilion, please show your jade token, sir."

The maid standing by the door said respectfully.

She looks weak, but she has the foundation of the third realm.

When Chu Bu She took out the transparent jade token for honoring guests, even the well-mannered maidservant could not help but be surprised.

When Chu Bushe saw her reaction, he thought he had been cheated, but fortunately the maid returned to normal.

"A distinguished guest, Bingyu."

This message made the guests walking in front stop and wonder, wondering about the level of "Ice Jade".

But they all knew the rules, so they didn't ask any questions and just went to their rooms.

Chu Bu She entered the room he was assigned to alone. The decoration inside was elegant and ordinary.

A curtain divided the room into two sides. There was someone behind the curtain, and even the outline of the person could not be seen clearly.

Why do you guys in Yuhua Pavilion also use this trick?

This scene reminded Chu Bu She of the court, when he met Er Feng through a pearl curtain.

Chu Bu She walked over and pulled a chair, looking like he was going to sit down, but he ended up making a feint and walked in by lifting the curtain.

Behind the curtain, it was indeed Miss Yi Yihan who came to massage her feet that night.

She still had a white veil on her face, but from her bright eyes, it was not difficult to see her surprise at the moment.

The curtain is right there. Anyone normal would know what it means. How could you just walk in?

"Your Highness, there are curtains..."

Chu Bushe was playing dumb. He took off his piggy mask, looked apologetic, and said:

"I thought you were inviting me in to discuss things, haha~ But I knew it was you, Miss Yi, who was here."

He also hid a half-complaint in his voice - why are you, girl, sitting behind the curtain with a veil on your face?

Yi Yihan sighed helplessly, made a "please sit down" gesture, and asked softly:

"What do you want to know, Your Highness?"

"Why did the imperial court cut off the logistics of the Western Expedition Army back then, and why did it not contact the Western Expedition Army afterwards?"

This was the second thing that surprised Yi Yihan, following Chu Bushe’s outrageous behavior just now.

As she prepared the tea skillfully and gracefully, she said:

"I thought that His Highness asked about this matter in the court just to cover up his ambitions, but I never thought that His Highness actually wanted to know the inside story of that year."

She knew everything that happened in the court so clearly? Her intelligence was really amazing.

"Miss Yi, can you give me an answer?"

"can."

Yi Yihan rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white wrists, and placed the teacup in front of him with her boneless hands.

"The court cut off contact with the Western Expedition Army. This had nothing to do with the chaos caused by Empress Tianwu's usurpation of the throne. The Western Expedition Army was established not to expand the territory, but to deplete the foundation of Jingchu."

Chu Bu She frowned: "Please continue!"

“After the reform, Jingchu went from being a backward barbarian vassal state to one that surpassed all other kings in strength.

Emperor Jing'an was afraid, so he asked King Chuliang to form a western expedition army, trying to deplete the strength of Jingchu on the grounds of opening up the world for eternity.

Therefore, the success of the Western Expedition was not in the court's plan from the beginning. It was just that the court underestimated the strength of the Western Expedition Army. Unexpectedly, the King of Chuliang almost broke through the Western Regions, and the court also picked up Liaoyuzhou for free. "

Chapter 18 Concubine Yin's Handle

Chu Bushe had never heard of such a statement.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not untenable, and it can even explain many doubts of the year.

The Great Zhou did not contact the Western Expedition Army because it never thought of contacting the Western Expedition Army to provide logistical support. Once the battle line was extended, the Western Expedition Army would only become more and more tired and more and more scattered.

Even the current attitude of Chu Bu She being wary of by all parties can be explained reasonably.

In the eyes of the three great emperors, the Western Expedition Army was even a potential rebel and had nothing to do with meritorious officials!

No wonder,

Chu Bu She returned to the Great Zhou with the tiger talisman. At that time, he was still wondering why he, as the descendant of a meritorious official, was treated so coldly.

When reviewing the achievements of the Western Expedition Army that year, the officials in the court reacted indifferently and with disdain.

Even if all these victories were not finally converted into tangible benefits for the Great Zhou, the Liaoyu Prefecture captured by the Western Expedition Army was in the hands of the Great Zhou. Isn't this a tangible result?

This is treating the Western Expedition Army as Camel Xiangzi!

But...if this is the truth, then should his goal of returning to Da Zhou be changed?

To vent the anger of the Western Expedition Army? Or to take revenge on the imperial court for taking away the two states of Chu and Liang?

Chu Bushe's heart was a little confused for a moment.

"Miss Yi, is this your guess, or is it real information? Does everyone in the court know about it?"

"Yuhua Pavilion will not give misleading information. If it is a guess, I will point it out."

Yi Yihan finished speaking calmly. When she saw that the tea had gotten cold, she calmly poured new tea for Chu Bushe.

"Does the Western Expedition Army still have any well-intentioned friends in the Great Zhou?"

In fact, Yi Yihan doesn't have to answer this question. Yuhua Tea Club will only respond to one question from the guests each time.

What's more, this question was a bit difficult for her.

Although more than fifty years is not a long time, three generations of emperors have already changed. How can we know who is on the side of the Western Expedition Army?

Yi Yihan narrowed the scope and replied:

"If you ask the two phoenixes in the court, they are not on the side of the Western Expedition Army. The power of Queen Mi is unknown, but Concubine Yin may be a remnant of Empress Tianwu."

......

During this time, a maid who brought a fruit plate and cakes walked into the room and was startled to see the distinguished guest sitting behind the curtain.

How could a guest ask questions without sitting together behind a curtain?

Yi Yihan waved his hand silently to indicate that everything was fine.

The maid put down her things and left quietly.

She knew the rules, so she wouldn't say anything. But when she was alone, she couldn't help but mutter:

"The chief pavilion master is so close to that person..."

At this time, a hand fell on the maid's shoulder and asked:

"What were you talking about just now, how about the chief pavilion master?"

When the maid saw who was coming, it was the local branch chief. She lowered her head in panic and guilt, thinking that the branch chief was going to punish her for leaking the secret.

"Master Xu, I was wrong. I will never dare to complain about my guests again."

An elegant man in a gray-gold robe ordered in a gloomy voice:

"I asked you to tell me what happened just now."

"...Yes, the chief pavilion master asked the distinguished guest to go behind the curtains to spy on him. They were very close and seemed to be talking about the affairs of the court of the Great Zhou."

"The one with the Ice Jade Plate? Who is that?"

When the maid checked the jade token, she felt the words on the back of the token and could roughly guess what it was. She said:

"It should be Prince Rong. The chief pavilion master just asked the craftsman to make it a few days ago."

"Okay, don't tell anyone about this, including what I asked you. Keep it to yourself. Got it?"

"clear."

The maid didn't dare to look up and looked directly into Pavilion Master Xu's eyes.

......

"...The current Concubine Yin is most likely not the same person as Concubine Yin in the past?!"

Chu Bu She was shocked by the amount of information. This water was too deep.

"Your Highness, it's time for the pleasure boat to leave."

Yi Yihan's gentle voice reminded him, bringing Chu Bushe back to his senses.

A ray of setting sun shone through the curtains and into his eyes. Chu Bu She then realized that it was already evening.

Outside, sporadic shouts and the warm-up sounds of singing and playing could be heard, and the figures on the shore became denser.

Le'an Lake is about to enter the rhythm of nightlife.

Chu Bu She stood up, feeling regretful but also grateful:

“Although I still have many questions to ask, after talking today, I have learned more than I have in the past six months.

I wonder when the healing of Miss Yi's friend will begin?"

"In the next few days, I will ask someone to go to the clinic in advance to inform His Highness."

"Okay, I won't go out during this period of time."

......

......

As a servant, Bai She was not allowed to enter the pavilion. She waited until Chu Bu She came out before returning to the clinic together.

On the way back, Chu Bushe remained silent.

He originally wanted to inquire about the complete whereabouts of the "Dragon Snake Heavenly Evolution Art", and also wanted to ask to what extent the contemporary martial arts had become "mysterious".

As a result, once the truth about the Western Expedition came out, Chu Bushe had no time to worry about those things.

He told the White Snake elder sister this information, and then he lay on the bed with a melancholy sigh and asked:

"This is all Miss Yi told me, Bai Musk, what should I do next?"

Although Chu Bushe was dissatisfied with the attitude of Da Zhou, he did not have any real hatred.

Because in his opinion, the Western Expedition Army lived a good life after it was disbanded. The soldiers enjoyed their old age and many of them had many children and grandchildren.

The countries in the Western Regions really attached great importance to the Western Expedition Army. Even if there were conflicts between two countries, as long as the soldiers of the Western Expedition Army living in the two countries came forward to talk, the conflicts could be eased immediately.

It's so outrageous.

Chu Bushe visited the old men and uncles of the Western Expedition Army during the New Year and other holidays. Apart from the occasional homesickness on their faces, there were mostly smiles.

Being so happy that you don't want to leave.

Therefore, Chu Bushe really did not have that strong hatred.
