When they heard Guo Shen's words, the two of them couldn't help being shocked. They knew that their master didn't believe them at this time. Before Shangguan San could speak, Sun Shang on the side quickly said, "Sir, those people don't look good. Like the people on the official road, the person escorting the carriage is just a commoner with little kung fu, but the two leading the way do know some kung fu and are as good as the officials."
"So, in the end, all the things shipped to the border fortress were snatched away?" Guo Hu then asked again.
I saw Sun Shang saying at this time, "That's it, it's just..."
"Just what?" Seeing Sun Shang pause, Guo Hu looked at him and asked.
Sun Shang said at this time, "At first we hijacked the two people driving the carriage. Everything went well, so we drove the carriage back to Xiling. Unexpectedly, not long after we left, Shuo Ling actually caught up with us from behind. "
"What did you say, Lord Shuohou of Dongling?" Guo Hu couldn't help but stand up from his seat after hearing this.
Sun Shang nodded at this time, "Yes."
"I didn't expect Emperor Dongling to actually send Marquis Shuo here. What happens next?" After confirming, Guo Hu sneered and asked.
Guo Hu asked this, and Sun Shang couldn't help but lower his head.
Guo Hu's eyes were full of coldness at this time, and then he said, "Let me guess if you sent the things back again."
"Back... Sir, that Shuohou's kung fu was extremely high. We didn't even see him take action. One brother fell into a pool of blood. We had no choice but to return the things." Sun Shang hurriedly knelt down at this time. Xia said.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan San also knelt down.
At this time, Guo Hu turned around and sat down, and then said with a smile, "Everyone, get up. I don't mean to blame you. How can you take advantage of Shuohou's skills?"
"Thank you, sir." After hearing this, the two looked at each other and then stood up.
Then Guo Hu's eyes were full of depth and he said, "You guys can go down now."
"Yes, sir." After Sun Shang and Shangguan finished listening, they hurriedly raised their hands and said, and then the two of them withdrew.
After Sun Shang and Shangguan left, Guo Hu closed his eyes.
Two days later, it was the day of war between the two countries. Tomorrow their emperor would go on a personal expedition. He thought he would take the opportunity to capture the frontier in one fell swoop, but he never thought that Shuo Ling would come to help.
Everyone in the world doesn't know that Lord Shuo of Dongling is very skilled. When ordinary people hear his name, their hair will stand up.
Although Xiling defeated Dongling last time, he knew it was a bit of a fluke. Moreover, this time the emperor personally went on the expedition, so he felt a little uneasy when Shuo Ling came.
He was shocked when the Zhan Gu Master defeated the Dongling army with only ten Nightmare Gu masters on the battlefield. Even so, he did not have complete trust in this Zhan Gu Master.
Not to mention that he is from Dongling, but now their emperor actually believes in this person so much that he is afraid that...
Thinking of this, Guo Hu stood up. He wanted to go to the palace and inform the emperor of the matter. This was the duty of their royal guards.
Then he walked out of the house, had someone prepare a carriage, and walked to the palace at night.
royal palace.
Lankuo, the king of Xiling, discussed with Zhan You what to do after arriving at the border fortress. By the time he finished speaking, the sky had darkened.
After Zhan You left, Lankuo returned directly to the palace.
As soon as he arrived at the palace, Lan Kuo said to the guard Yan Hao beside him, "Go, take out the armor of tomorrow's king, and let me see it."
"Yes." Yan Hao nodded in response and walked to the side where Lankuo Armor was placed.
Then he brought the armor to Lankuo and said, "Your Majesty."
At this time, Lan Kuo gently touched the armor with his hand, and some past events could not help but appear in his mind.
This armor has not been worn since he ascended the throne.
Unexpectedly, now, he can still wear armor and go into battle.
Thinking of this, Prince Lankuo of Xiling couldn't help but smile.
However, this time he put on armor and went into battle, which was the beginning of unifying the four countries.
Because now he has Nightmare Gu people, these Nightmare Gu people can be said to be one against a thousand. It is not an exaggeration to say that.
At this moment, I heard the guard on duty at the door say, "Master Guo, the Emperor has gone to bed. If you have anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Please go ahead and report that I really have something urgent to see the emperor." Guo Hu said at this time.
Wang Lankuo of Xiling couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this. He heard that the voice was Guo Hu from Jin Yiwei. What could he do if he came to see him at this time
Thinking of this, Lankuo asked loudly, "Let Mr. Guo come in."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard at the door responded.
Then he turned to Guo Hu and said, "Sir, come in."
With that said, the guard at the door opened the door.
Guo Hu nodded and walked in.
Then he walked up to Lankuo, knelt down with his hands folded, and said, "I pay my respects to the emperor."
Lankuo glanced at Guo Hu at this time, and then said to Yan Hao, "Take it off."
Yan Hao nodded at this time.
Only then did Lan Kuo say to Guo Hu, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guo Hu responded and then stood up.
King Xiling was seen sitting upright at this time, and then he looked at Guo Hu and asked, "Why don't you come here at this time?"
"Back to the Emperor, I have something urgent to report. That's why I came so late to disturb the Emperor's rest. I hope the Emperor will punish me." After hearing this, Guo Hu quickly bowed his head and said.
Lankuo's eyes narrowed slightly at this time, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he said, "Tomorrow our army will go to the border fortress. The border fortress is within easy reach. What else is urgent?"
"This matter is related to the border fortress." Guo Hu said quickly at this time.
After hearing this, Lan Kuo couldn't help but frown slightly, and then asked, "Is it related to the border fortress? What is it?"
In addition to asking Jin Yiwei to send people to the border fortress to keep an eye on it, he also sent people to go there.
Why didn't he receive any message.
"Your Majesty, Lord Shuohou of Dongling has also come to the frontier fortress!" Guo Hu said at this time.
When Lan Kuo heard Guo Hu mention Shuo Ling, he couldn't help but frown, and then asked, "How do you know when it happened?"
"Back to the Emperor, my subordinates came back from the frontier fortress and saw someone delivering something to the military camp at the border fortress. Later, they intercepted the thing. Unexpectedly, not long after they left, Shuoling went alone. After catching up, I counted the time and now I have arrived at the frontier fortress camp." Guo Hu continued.
After hearing this, Lan Kuo's eyes flashed with panic, but it was fleeting.
The Shuohou of Dongling is certainly very skilled. In the past, he would probably have been a little worried about him. But now, they have nightmare Gu people in Xiling. What should he be afraid of, no matter how powerful the Shuohou is? , but he can still fight against the witches and poisonous people.
So what if there is food in their military camp now.
His spies had previously reported that the Dongling people had not eaten for several days. Even if they had food now, their combat effectiveness would not be improved in a short time.
Thinking of this, Lankuo couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Guo Hu, "I already know about this matter. Lord Guo has taken the trouble. If there is nothing else, Lord Guo, please step aside first."
"I think the emperor should think twice before going to the frontier this time..." After hearing this, Guo Hu couldn't help but frown slightly, and then he cupped his hands to persuade Lankuo.
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Lan Kuo's expression darkened, and then he sneered, "Master Guo means that this king is afraid of Dongling's Shuohou."
"I don't dare. That's not what I meant. I'm just worried about the emperor's safety." After hearing this, Guo Hu couldn't help but feel stunned, and then he quickly knelt down and said.
Lankuo stood up at this time, walked to Guo Hu, bent down to pull him up, and then said to him, "I know that Jin Yiwei has no second thoughts about me. Now that the war has been issued, our officers and soldiers already know that I Wearing armor and going into battle, if I change my mind because of a great lord in Dongling, then our army's momentum will be weakened."
"I didn't think carefully. I didn't think so much. I hope the emperor will punish me." Guo Hu lowered his head and said.
Lankuo patted Guo Hu on the shoulder, then turned around with a loud laugh, "The punishment will be waived."
"Your Majesty, I have an unkind request." Guo Hu continued.
Lankuo sat down at this time, and then stretched out his hand to signal him.
Guo Hu knelt down again at this time and said, "This time the emperor personally marches, let the royal guards accompany him to protect the emperor's safety at all times."
"I accept Master Guo's wishes, but after I leave, there are still many complicated things in the palace, and I am worried about others." Lankuo thought for a moment before continuing.
After hearing this, Guo Hu put his hands in front of his forehead and quickly kowtowed to Lankuo, "How can I make the emperor trust me so much? I will definitely not disappoint the emperor's expectations!"
"Okay, get up. Kneeling back and forth like this makes us, the monarch and his subjects, at odds with each other." Lan Kuo sighed at this time and then said.
After hearing this, Guo Hu stood up, then raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will retire first."
Then Lan Kuo waved his hand, and Guo Hu withdrew.
After Guo Hu left, Lan Kuo quickly said to Yan Hao on the side, "Go and find Gu Master Zhan for me."
Yan Hao nodded, and then left Lankuo's palace.
At this time, Lan Kuo's eyes were full of depth. He knew that this Nightmare Gu man was very powerful, so he didn't need to worry. However, for the sake of insurance, he still asked Zhan You to explain it to him so that he could have peace of mind.
At this time, Zhan You had just fallen asleep when he heard the voice of his apprentice Su Lai talking to someone at the door.
"Can Master Zhan sleep?" Yan Hao asked Su Lai at this time.
Su Lai nodded, "Master has just gone to bed. I wonder if Commander Yan has anything important to do with the master at this time?"
"The Emperor asked me to come and invite Master Zhan." Yan Hao nodded and said immediately.
After hearing this, Su Lai looked behind him and said, "Commander Yan, my master has not fully recovered yet. He has just gone to bed. He will leave for the frontier fortress tomorrow. I'm afraid..."
"Su Lai, come in and dress me." Before Su could finish speaking, Zhan You's voice came from inside the room.
Yan Hao raised his hands to the room and said, "Gu Master Zhan, excuse me."
