As he spoke, he waved his hand in front of his nose, looking disgusted.
Gu Shubai frowned and said, "Xikun is an ambitious wolf who has always coveted our Dongling border. It is indeed a conspiracy to send people to peace talks this time. But how do you know that they will use force soon?"
Xun Chi snorted softly, "Don't let the secret out, you know my old man won't lie to you. That's it, we'll set off for Immortal Valley in three days."
Yu Fu tugged at his sleeve under the table, Gu Shubai immediately understood.
Xun Chi deliberately mentioned the war in front of his face, to give them time to prepare.
…
"Is that what the God of Medicine really said?"
"Father, it is true."
In the room, Gu Shubai told Gu Huaijiang what Xunchi said, and the latter pondered for a long time.
Putting on his coat, he walked back and forth in the room for a long time, "This is not good. Last time when the Xikun envoy came, Kun Wushang did many unreasonable things, and the court was vigilant. But two days ago, Xikun The envoy sent the letter of credence again, saying that the princess was sent here for the sake of peace between the two countries, and Your Majesty is delighted. The princess is already on the way, and at this time, who will believe that Xikun will invade our border?"
"Father doesn't believe what the God of Medicine said?"
"No."
Gu Huaijiang said: "The God of Medicine speaks convincingly, there can be no falsehood. How did he let Tianshu teach the people in the mansion his unique body skills these days, and how did he promote your marriage with Yufu, and how did he take the place of his father and His Majesty?" A series of things about detoxification are enough to prove that he has been helping us. Today's words are no exception."
Gu Shubai nodded and said: "I think so too, but if the people in the court really think that Xi Kun has something to say, we can't deploy troops in advance. If so, the information we got in advance will be useless."
Gu Huaijiang sighed, "It's okay for the people in the court, especially Your Majesty. He wholeheartedly hopes that Xikun and Dongling will talk about it, and he doesn't want to start another war. If he doesn't put the fact that Xikun sent troops in front of him, he won't let us advance." Bingbing."
He thought for a while, and quickly said: "In this way, first order the border city defense to pay close attention to Xikun's movements, and if something is wrong, eight hundred miles will send the army report back as soon as possible!"
"Yes, father."
That night, neither Gu Huaijiang nor Gu Shubai could sleep peacefully.
In battles on the battlefield, the difference is that blood flows into rivers, and the bones of the people and soldiers are piled up like mountains.
They didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, thinking about the deployment of soldiers on the border, and deducing in their minds which city they would attack from this time...
Until dawn, Gu Huaijiang was old and couldn't help but close his eyes.
But Gu Shubai opened his eyes and lifted the brocade quilt, took advantage of the early morning light and walked out of the yard, saw the rising sun over the treetops.
Bright without being harsh, warm without being overly hot.
Chaoyang is like this, and Dongling Kingdom will definitely be like this, and it will continue to flourish and prosper in peace and stability.
He smiled and stretched his arms, and suddenly saw a figure sitting on the top of the tree, who seemed to be watching the beautiful scenery of the morning sun.
Take a closer look, it looks like Gu Hanmo's figure.
"Third brother?"
The man on the treetop turned his head, "Brother, you woke up so early?"
Gu Hanmo jumped down and landed beside him, his eyes were slightly black and blue.
Gu Shubai was about to point it out, but Gu Hanmo said, "Brother, your eyes are black and blue, didn't you sleep well last night?"
He laughed out loud, "You still talk about me, don't you? I came here early in the morning to watch Chaoyang because of my fourth brother's business."
Gu Hanmo paused, and finally nodded slightly after a while.
"It's not all for the fourth brother, but also for Yufu and Yuguan. I thought a lot last night, big brother, do you think I'm wrong too?"
Gu Shubai shook his head, "You are not wrong. You care about the younger brother, and you are afraid that he will learn badly outside. This is exactly the style of an elder brother. This is not as good as yours. The elder brother doesn't even know that the fourth brother is learning opera."
He was full of praise for himself, but Gu Hanmo was even more disappointed when he heard it.
Obviously he was wrong, but the elder brother didn't blame him, he only picked his benefits.
"But elder brother also thinks that Yufu is right, fourth brother is right, and Yuguan is right, don't you?"
Gu Shubai saw that he was regretting himself, so he patted him on the shoulder, "You have different positions, but neither is wrong. Yu Fu only wants to keep his best friend for the fourth brother, and the fourth brother just likes to sing That's all, I didn't waste my studies and martial arts training because of this. And Yuguan..."
He laughed and said: "You can see it too, that is not a person with evil intentions. If he were, he would not have dared to come to the Marquis Gu's Mansion yesterday, but he has the courage to come here so that the fourth younger brother will not be punished."
Gu Hanmo's expression softened, not as cold as usual.
He said: "Yesterday, the fourth brother came to my place to plead guilty before bandaging the wound. He said a lot, saying that Yuguan is his good friend, and they benefit each other when they are together. Brother, you know what I think What is it?"
"What is it?"
"I thought, I don't have any friends, so I don't understand his mood."
Gu Shubai looked at him in surprise, he didn't expect him to say such a thing, it was both regret and envy.
envious
He has always only known how to practice swords, he is cold-hearted towards his family, and he has no friends outside.
Gu Shubai always thought that he didn't need friends, otherwise with his status, there would be many people who wanted to be friends with him.
So... does he actually want friends
Gu Shubai has taught Gu Huaijiang's younger brothers for many years, and for the first time he didn't know what to say to relieve Gu Hanmo.
After a while, he said: "No, you have friends. Isn't Tianshu your friend?"
