Although Gao Yuanjia's main task is to manage Tacheng affairs and not participate in combat command, given his ability, status and years of operation, it is not difficult for him to know some inside information.

If he betrayed the information about the Northwest Army, Yeqilu would naturally be able to counterattack or make corresponding preparations.

No wonder the Northwestern Army and the Western Rong Army were able to fight for so long in the previous life, Gao Yuanjia really made an "indispensable contribution".

Li Jingwan suddenly figured out something.

"The last time the Xirong army attacked, Yeqilu voluntarily handed over the command and later led his army to rescue the Xirong army because he knew there was a trick."

"Through this, he can wipe out the pressure brought by the previous three failures and further strike a blow to Wu Shilie's power."

"Yes." Chu Tingyu nodded approvingly. It was rare that Li Jingwan could see the flaw so quickly.

"Last time, we discovered Wen Da's identity as a traitor and secretly adjusted the battle plan. Since it involved border defense, we notified Gao Yuanjia in advance. He can infer new battle strategies through the deployment of troops and inform Ye Qilu."

"Yeqilu compared the battle strategy obtained by Wushilie and naturally found that this was a trap. He simply went with the flow and got himself out of trouble."

Li Jingwan couldn't help but sigh, "Ye Qilu is really unscrupulous. In order to get himself out of trouble, he still let the Xirong army die even though he knew the plan had changed."

She was more concerned about how to deal with it. "Your Majesty, now that you have discovered Gao Yuanjia's identity, do you have any plans? We can't let him betray the Sheng Dynasty anymore."

Chu Tingyu slowly lowered his eyes and looked at the few thin pieces of paper that carried shocking secrets.

"I will hold a banquet at the mansion tomorrow and have a good talk with him."

-

Gao Yuanjia and Lu Fa entered the mansion together, sat down to drink tea and chat for a while, and then a servant came over and asked them to move to the side hall.

When the two of them walked over, Chu Tingyu and Li Jingwan just came in and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"We are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite." Chu Tingyu said, "Please sit down."

Li Jingwan said to the housekeeper behind her, "Let's have dinner."

The housekeeper then ordered someone to serve the dishes.

Lufa laughed, "I haven't been to the prince's mansion for a long time. Today, I found that it is more humane than before. I used to think that this was where the prince slept."

"When the princess arrived, the mansion became lively and felt like home. It turns out that a woman is needed to take care of the house..."

As Luva was speaking, he realized something was wrong and quickly stopped, looking embarrassed.

"Don't blame me, my lord. Please forgive me, my princess. I... I am a bad talker and I don't think before I speak."

He clearly said that Li Jingwan was Chu Tingyu's wife.

"No problem." Chu Tingyu looked very happy. "I usually stay in the camp, and it's also thanks to the princess who took the trouble to take care of the affairs of the mansion."

This actually sounded like she agreed with Luva's statement. Li Jingwan's face got a little hot, but she pretended not to care.

"It actually has little to do with me. It's mainly because the housekeeper is capable."

Gao Yuanjia smiled and said, "I have heard from General Li before that the princess is both civil and military, so it would be easy for her to manage the household affairs. I wonder which brat will get the chance."

After he finished speaking, Luva deliberately coughed twice to remind him that he had also said the wrong thing.

Gao Yuanjia suddenly realized that he had mentioned Qin Changzhou, and quickly picked up the wine glass, "I made a mistake, so I will drink a glass as punishment."

Li Jingwan didn't mind, "It's okay, it's all in the past."

At this moment, the wine and food had been served, and several maids came forward to serve them the food. Chu Tingyu raised his hand and waved, "You all go down."

The housekeeper led the servants out, and Li Jingwan personally picked up the wine jug to pour wine for Gao Yuanjia.

"Speaking of starting a family, Mr. Gao is a handsome man, why hasn't he married yet? How about I be the matchmaker and introduce someone to someone?"

Gao Yuanjia held the wine glass in both hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, my lady. I am used to being alone and don't want to get married."

Luva continued, "Princess, he just likes to be single. I was a matchmaker for him before and arranged everything, but he said he would not come no matter what. I was so angry that I wanted to have him tied up and taken away."

"Oh?" Li Jingwan put down the wine pot, very curious, "Mr. Gao is so opposed to getting married? But is there any hidden reason?"

Lu Fa had drunk some fine wine and was in a very good mood, so he spoke carelessly and slapped Gao Yuanjia on the shoulder.

"Lao Gao, do you have a hidden illness? Don't worry, Doctor Xu is here, he is a miracle doctor, he will definitely..."

"The princess is here, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Gao Yuanjia interrupted him quickly. No one wanted to be told that they were in poor health.

Li Jingwan added fuel to the fire, "It's okay, Master Gao, if it's really... then please ask Doctor Xu..."

"Princess, it's really not the case." Gao Yuanjia hesitated for a rare time and waved his hands repeatedly, forced to give a reason.

"I don't want to get married because I can't marry the person I like, and I don't want to marry someone I don't like."

Lu Fa smiled awkwardly and said, "Lao Gao, I'm sorry, I won't say anything more."

So he shut up and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

"So Mr. Gao is so affectionate." Li Jingwan smiled, "I guess the woman you like must be very good."

"She is indeed very good." Gao Yuanjia seemed to be lost in memories, and the affection and regret in his eyes disappeared in an instant. "It's a pity that she and I are not destined to be together."

Li Jingwan asked, "Does she have any children?"

"Yes." Gao Yuanjia nodded.

Li Jingwan suggested, "Since Master Gao doesn't want to get married, why not adopt her children as his or her adopted sons and daughters? This way, it can make up for the regret."

Gao Yuanjia smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Princess, it's not that easy. Besides, since she has married someone else, I don't want to disturb her life anymore."

Chu Tingyu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "But Mr. Gao volunteered to come to Tacheng, wasn't it just for her?"

Gao Yuanjia was startled, his heart beating violently, but his face showed confusion, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? How could I come here for her?"

"Really?" Chu Tingyu asked back.

Lu Fa, who was eating the most happily at the table, was about to break his promise not to talk anymore after hearing these two sentences. But when he saw Chu Tingyu's smiling eyes, he finally realized that something was wrong.

Chu Tingyu is definitely not the type of person who likes to joke.

He slowly put down his chopsticks and fixed his eyes on Gao Yuanjia.

"Of course not." A flash of panic flashed across Gao Yuanjia's eyes. "Your Highness, you are joking. I have longed for life on the border since I was a child. Coming here, I can be free and at the same time work for the court."

"It seems that I am overthinking."

Gao Yuanjia was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Chu Tingyu ask, "Then why did Lord Gao contact her son Ye Qilu privately?"

As soon as these words came out, it was shocking.

Lu Fa saw Gao Yuanjia's face turn pale instantly, and he even couldn't react to the meaning of this sentence.

Chu Tingyu was so confident, and Li Jingwan was not shocked at all. Lu Fa suddenly realized that they had already found out.

Gao Yuanjia had never been so nervous in his life. His heart seemed to be beating out of his chest, beating against his ears one louder than the other, more like a whip hitting him.

This is clearly a Hongmen Banquet.

He pretended to be surprised, "Your Majesty, this... this is absolutely impossible! How could this humble servant contact Yeqilu privately? This humble servant..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Tingyu suddenly clapped his hands twice, "Bring it up."
