Chapter 700: The Secret of Shui Xinyue (I)
After listening to Shui Xinyue's whole story, Gao Yuan was indeed surprised, not because Feng Yi and a group of defectors from the Bailing tribe also joined the side of the Xiongnu army, after all, they only had dozens of people, and they couldn't play much role, and it was not because of the participation of the Jiuli people, no matter how strong the ability of Fu Gongyan was, it was only one person, and the strength was limited after all, what really worried Gao Yuan was the strength of the Xiongnu.
It turned out that in the view of the plateau, the Xiongnu army dispatched at most 350,000 horses, after all, it was far away from the Xiongnu's Shan Yuting, and it was a barren land, and the benefits were not large, and the Xiongnu could not send a large number of troops, but if what Shui Xinyue said was right, the Xiongnu would dispatch 100,000 troops. It can only be said that Fu Gongyan's luck is really good, as soon as he makes a move, he actually makes a Xiongnu Shan Yulai, which can be full of resources to mobilize the Xiongnu.
And the side of the Bai Ling clan can only send out twenty or thirty thousand people to fight at most, and there are also a large number of old, weak, women and children, even if the Bai Ling clan can control a group of fierce beasts to fight, but the strength of the two sides is still too different, so if there is no advance notification from Shui Xinyue, I am afraid that I will really suffer a big loss against the army of the Huns.
Gao Yuan's expression was straight, and he said: "Water girl, no matter what your purpose is, it is indeed very important to be able to tell me these things in a very timely manner, so even if I owe you a favor, if you have any requirements in the future, you can just mention it to me, as long as it does not harm the interests of Daijun and other people around me, I will do it for you." β
Shui Xinyue was also stunned, she didn't expect Gao Yuan to make such a promise, after all, she came to report to Gao Yuan, in the final analysis, it was for her own interests, if the person who planned to attack Gao Yuan and his party this time was not Fu Gongyan but Han Teng, of course Shui Xinyue would not report to Gao Yuan. Although Gao Yuan set many prerequisites, this promise is also unusual, because although Gao Yuan did not claim the king, he now controlled the power of Zhanì, so that the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu, and Qi could not ignore it, so with the strength of Gao Yuan, even if it did not damage the interests of Dai County, many things could be accomplished.
Seeing Shui Xinyue's expression in a trance for a moment, Gao Yuan smiled: "Why, don't you believe what I just said?" β
Shui Xinyue was stunned for a moment, and then she regained her expression and said: "In the future, let's talk about it later, now you can find a way to deal with the Hun army first." β
Gao Yuan nodded and said: "If you don't send a letter, if you don't send a letter, maybe we will be very passive against the Hun army, but after your communication, although we can't say that we are sure of victory, but at least we can find a way to deal with it in advance, but what you said is also right, the future, let's talk about it later, then let's talk about the things in front of us first." If we lose this battle, of course, there is no need to say anything, if we win, then I want to ask you, what do you plan to do with Fu Gongyan, do you want to kill him or do you want me to spare his life. β
Shui Xinyue's heart trembled, she really didn't think about dealing with Fu Gongyan.
Gao Yuan continued: "If you let Fu Gongyan go, then you have to make sure that your act of reporting to us will not be discovered by him, but I think it will be very difficult, so I recommend that it is best to kill Fu Gongyan on the battlefield, only then can you be absolutely safe." β
Shui Xinyue was dark for a moment, of course she knew that what Gao Yuan said was good, because she knew all of Fu Gongyan's plans, plus she was leaving halfway, so if Fu Gongyan failed, then the first one would think of suspecting that she would report to Gao Yuan, which was not only related to her own safety, but also implicated Han Teng, so she nodded and said, "Okay, just do what you say." β
Gao Yuan said: "But according to what you said, Fu Gongyan is one of the best people in the younger generation of the Jiuli clan, judging from his means of dealing with the Xiongnu and supporting Mao Dun to ascend to the top, he is indeed very clever, but how is his martial arts better than Han Teng?" β
Shui Xinyue said: "Although there is no comparison, I think it should be about the same." β
Gao Yuan said: "In this case, there is some trouble, now there are not many masters on our side, it may not be difficult to defeat the Hun army, but to intercept and kill a master like Fu Gongyan, the success is not great, if you fight alone, maybe I can beat Fu Gongyan, but to say kill him, I am not absolutely sure, one is only me, and second, I have to command the army to fight, so if you want to kill Fu Gongyan in this battle, you better stay and assist us in the battle, when necessary, we will join forces, Then the chances of killing Fu Gongyan are much greater. β
Shui Xinyue was stunned, although she also admitted that what Gao Yuan said was not unreasonable, a master like Xiang Fu Gongyan, if he wanted to escape from the battlefield and only rely on a master of the same level as him, it would be really difficult to stop it, if there were two people to deal with him, then the chance of success would be much greater, but in Shui Xinyue's heart, there was a feeling that he was not only completely led by Gao Yuan, but also forced to cooperate with him, and there was no room for refusal.
However, Shui Xinyue is also an extremely shrewd person, and immediately figured out the reason why Gao Yuan did this, and after being silent for a while, Shui Xinyue looked directly at Gao Yuan with both eyes, and said, "If you think that this will allow me to stay, then you are wrong." β
Gao Yuan looked at her eyes very calmly, and said: "It's your choice whether to stay or not, but I hope you can at least meet Yinghong, if you have been lurking in Daijun, then you must have seen Yinghong, you should understand what I mean." β
Shui Xinyue was silent for a while before reaching out to untie her veil, revealing a face very similar to Li Yinghong, and said, "Have you already sued SΓΉ Yinghong?" β
Gao Yuan smiled: "Of course I will tell her, but unfortunately Yinghong doesn't remember much about what happened when she was a child, but she vaguely remembers that she seems to have some brothers and sisters, so she didn't look for her relatives." β
Shui Xin bowed his head at the end of the month and said, "What was Yinghong's age when she was adopted by Li Mu?" β
Gao Yuan said: "It seems to be six years old." β
Shui Xinyue nodded, sighed softly, and said: "Actually, the first time I saw Yinghong, although it was far away at the time, I still recognized it at a glance, she is my sister-in-law, but she is indeed luckier than me, to be adopted by Li Mu, if I am like Yinghong, I can forget everything when I was a child, how good it would be." β
Although the relationship between the two has long been estimated, but after being confirmed by Shui Xinyue, Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, since Shui Xinyue is Li Yinghong's sister, Gao Yuan naturally does not want to be an enemy with her, and also hopes to use the blood relationship to pull Shui Xinyue to his side, so that not only can they reunite their sisters and avoid fratricide; And there can be a person who knows the situation of the Jiuli clan very well, of course, if Shui Xinyue can act as a double agent and help him find out the news inside the Jiuli clan, it will be even better. Because now the plateau knows too little about the affairs of the Jiuli tribe, and needs to know as much as possible about the affairs of the Jiuli tribe.
However, Gao Yuan didn't know why Shui Xinyue became a member of the Jiuli tribe, and he was also one of the five gods under Han Teng, and it was estimated that in the Jiuli tribe, he was also a high-level person, so Gao Yuan did not take the liberty of persuading Shui Xinyue to defect from the Jiuli tribe, but only because of the situation, first caused a situation where Shui Xinyue had to cooperate with himself to deal with Fu Gongyan, at least this is the first step, it is best to let their sisters meet, and then slowly use family affection to impress Shui Xinyue, and when the time is ripe, persuade Shui Xinyue.
Although Shui Xinyue broke through Gao Yuan's intentions, Gao Yuan did not look embarrassed, but said: "Listening to your tone, do you seem to remember what happened back then?" β
Shui Xinyue glanced at Gao Yuan again and said, "Of course I remember, because I was nine years old that year and was already very sensible, and Yinghong was only five years old, so Yinghong may not have many impressions, but I can remember a lot of things, if you want to know?" I can tell you everything. β
Gao Yuan smiled: "Of course I want to know." "Being able to let Shui Xinyue talk about the past is of course a good start, because when a person is reminiscing about the past, he usually relaxes a little and can enter as needed, and the plateau is also quite curious, I don't know what the sisters were like back then.
Shui Xinyue said: "That was eighteen years ago, the day we separated, Yinghong chased the carriage that took me away, crying and calling my sister, until now, I can still remember it very clearly." β
Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Can you start from the beginning?" This kind of east sentence and west sentence makes me confused. β
Shui Xinyue sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry, I've never told anyone about these things, but since you are Yinghong's husband, there's nothing wrong with suing you." β
Gao Yuan said: "By the way, you shouldn't have been called your current name at that time, Yinghong should be the name you took after being adopted by Li Mu, and you won't be called Shui Xinyue from the beginning." β
Shui Xinyue nodded and said, "You're right, Li Yinghong and Shui Xinyue are our later names, and before, we didn't have names, I ranked fourth in the family, so I was called Siya, and she was ranked seventh, called Qiya." β
Gao Yuan was stunned and said, "Siya, Qiya, what is this name?" β
Shui Xinyue said lightly: "What's so strange, in an ordinary poor family, let alone a girl, even a boy, before adulthood, there is no name, and after the boy becomes an adult, he will take a name, and the girl may not have her own name in her life." β
Gao Yuan said: "In this way, you are not from the Jiuli clan, why did you join the Jiuli clan." β
Shui Xinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "You keep asking like this, how can I start from the beginning, and finish asking anything quickly, right?" β
Gao Yuan hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Okay, I'm done asking all the questions I want to ask, you say, I promise not to interrupt you again." β
