I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

At this moment, Liu Zhijin, who was always on Liu Zhirou's mind, was also in a dilemma.

She admitted that she had her own selfish motives when she approached Guo Jieshu, the naive young man, but she was also very sure that she had no intention of harming him.

At the beginning, Guo Jie said that he trusted Liu Zhijin very much. After all, when his family was confiscated and his relatives were sent to prison and even beheaded, it was Liu Zhijin, a woman who usually did not have a good face towards him, who always stayed around to help and protect him.

But when things get to this point, some things are out of control.

After all, there are many people who can share the hardships but not the happiness.

Guo Jieshu had no intention of burning bridges after crossing them. He had always been very clear-headed. Even though he had become the leader of a faction and even in the current situation, when he might even be able to reach the supreme position, he still understood that he was still a prisoner with no control over his own destiny.

But in the past, even though he had no choice, he still dared to take a gamble. It was just his life. After losing almost all his family members, he no longer cared much about his own life.

But now there are so many people behind him. Among them, there are certainly ambitious people who try to speculate, but there are also ordinary people who know nothing and join the army just to earn a salary.

Plus... plus Liu Zhijin, who has always been very kind to him, what he represents now is far more than just his own life.

Do we really want to bring these people into the hell before our eyes?

Liu Zhijin's heart was filled with anxiety, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were flashing with anxiety. She had conveyed urgent signals to Guo Jieshu more than once, hoping that he could act quickly and capture the palace.

However, Guo Jieshu remained hesitant.

Time passed by, and the situation became more delicate with each passing moment. The counterattack of the royalist forces could come at any time. The death of the emperor did not mean that all the people who supported the royal family were dead. On the contrary, if these people knew that the young and strong emperor had unfortunately passed away, they would be eager to pick a person who was easy to control from the royal family to inherit the throne.

They are still in a very dangerous situation, and their allies are also watching. If Guo Jieshu continues to show such hesitation, he will not only lose the initiative, but will also disappoint his allies and even shake the morale of the army.

She knew very well that Guo Jieshu was standing at a critical crossroads at this moment, and his decision would directly affect the direction of the entire battle.

Liu Zhijin knew that she needed to find a way to inspire Guo Jieshu's courage while making him realize the urgency of the situation. She decided to have another in-depth conversation with Guo Jieshu to discuss their strategy and make sure he understood that only by acting quickly could he seize the hope of victory. At the same time, she also needed to be prepared to deal with possible allies' doubts and maintain their trust and support.

Liu Zhijin took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She knew that the most important thing now was to stay calm and use wisdom and courage to guide Guo Jieshu to make the right choice. She prepared a series of arguments and strategies, hoping to convince Guo Jieshu that he should not retreat even in the face of unknown fear, because only by facing it bravely could he uncover the mysterious veil and find a way to overcome difficulties.

But at this moment, an unexpected person came.

"..."

"elder brother?"
