Chapter 123

Wu Yi spoke to his sister:

"Mi’er, your brother has a very important matter to discuss with you."

As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father.

The father of the brother and sister had passed away two years ago.

Since then, Wu Yi had become the head of the Wu family.

Hearing his brother speak to her so solemnly, Wu Mi instantly realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Please speak plainly, brother; what matter needs Mi’er’s help?"

Wu Yi and Wu Mi were biological siblings, and the relationship between the two was quite good.

Looking at his sister’s beautiful face.

Wu Yi secretly lamented that Liu Mao was a person without the fortune to enjoy it.

But immediately after, Wu Yi hurriedly said:

"Mi’er, Liu Zhang might be finished!"

"Your brother does not intend to go all the way with him."

"If he is really finished, your brother must establish a good relationship with the new ruler of Yizhou."

"Mi’er, do you understand what your brother means?"

Hearing this, Wu Mi sighed softly.

She knew very well that her brother intended for her to remarry.

However, for Wu Mi.

At this moment, she had no other better choice.

After all.

It was impossible to stay in the boudoir forever for this dead ghost Liu Mao, right?

Moreover, the two had not yet had the reality of husband and wife!

Remarrying, if she married well, could be considered a good thing.

Thinking of this, Wu Mi asked:

"I wonder who brother intends to have Mi’er remarry?"

…….

"Mi’er, this time I might have to wrong you by making you a concubine."

Hearing Wu Mi’s question, Wu Yi lowered his head slightly.

Although the Wu family could be considered to have great influence on this small patch of land in Yizhou.

But if you looked at the entire Guanxi region.

Especially compared to those nobles in Chang’an, it was really not up to standard.

Gu Yi’s legal wife was Old Dong’s own granddaughter, Dong Bai.

No matter how precious Wu Mi was, she could not be more precious than Dong Bai, right?

Therefore.

If Wu Mi were to be married to Gu Yi, she could only be a concubine.

This was something that could not be changed.

In history, after Liu Bei entered Yizhou.

Because his original two wives, Lady Gan and Lady Mi, had both passed away successively.

Plus the need to win over the Dongzhou faction led by Wu Yi.

Liu Bei then decided to elevate Wu Mi as his legal wife.

But now.

Gu Yi’s situation was completely different from Liu Bei’s.

If Wu Mi still wanted to be the legal wife, it was naturally wishful thinking.

"Brother, you said so much."

"Are you intending to marry Mi’er to...?"

Wu Mi was very concerned about who her brother Wu Yi intended to marry her to.

After all, if she were married to an old man who was already half in the grave, wouldn't that be equivalent to becoming a widow again?

"Gu Linzhi."

Wu Yi replied.

Subsequently, he introduced the basic situation of Gu Yi to Wu Mi.

After listening, Wu Mi’s eyes lit up, and she said:

"Brother, that is to say, this Gu Linzhi is only in his early twenties, and he has already reached a position of real power in the Dong Zhuo army?"

"And even, in the future, he is very likely to become Dong Zhuo’s successor?"

The resistance in Wu Mi’s heart toward this marriage had been greatly reduced.

Given Gu Yi’s age, it was impossible for him to let her live as a widow.

Although she would be a concubine, Gu Yi only had a few concubines at home at this time.

Relying on Wu Mi’s beauty and figure.

Plus the power of her maiden family.

Even as a concubine, she would only be a favored concubine and not the type to be left alone in an empty room.

"Yes, Mi’er."

"If Gu Yi were a person with one foot in the grave, your brother would never marry you to him."

"It is precisely because he is in his prime that marrying you to him is a multi-win situation for you and for our Wu family."

Wu Yi explained with a smile.

Just as he was about to continue saying something, several guards suddenly walked in from outside the courtyard.

"General, the Lord wants to see you to discuss matters."

Several guards said.

"Okay, I will go over now."

Wu Yi knew that Liu Zhang looking for him at this time was likely because of the war situation on the frontline.

As one of the two entrusted ministers, Wu Yi’s prestige in the military naturally went without saying.

And after arriving at the Governor’s Mansion.

It was indeed as Wu Yi had guessed.

Liu Zhang urgently pulled him to his side and told him about Lei Tong’s defeat and Zhang Ren’s loss of contact.

"My Lord, Jiameng Pass can no longer be captured."

"It is better to focus on guarding Baishui Pass."

Wu Yi said.

Before his voice fell, Liu Zhang said impatiently:

"Ziyuan, the Baishui Pass garrison generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei are loyal and devoted to my father."

"But to me, I really don't know if they are worth entrusting."

"If Baishui Pass is handed over to these two, and there is a mishap, how can I answer to the subjects of the Shu region?"

When it came to this, Wu Yi instantly understood the meaning in Liu Zhang’s words.

To put it bluntly, he just didn't trust Yang Huai and Gao Pei!

However, why would Liu Zhang suddenly not trust these two?

Wu Yi cast his gaze toward Zhang Song on the side.

He saw the latter wink at him slightly.

In an instant.

Wu Yi and Zhang Song reached an exchange of opinions.

He immediately cupped his hands to Liu Zhang and said:

"My Lord, this subordinate is untalented, but I flatter myself that I still have some talent for leading troops."
