Chapter 141: Make Your Own Decisions

When Gu Du returned to Zeguo, Lixia was very surprised, and threw herself into Gu Du's arms regardless of it, hugging each other tightly.

Dongfang Xia Lan bit her lip and turned around and left silently.

Gu Du told Lixia about Tiger Roaring Mountain in detail, and then said that he wanted to transfer troops, Lixia was silent for a long time, and asked, "It should be okay, right?" How many troops do you want to transfer? ”

Gu Du sighed and replied, "It is said that three thousand should be adjusted, but three thousand is too much, so five hundred." ”

Li Xia was silent for a long time and asked, "Are you afraid that the emperor will be suspicious of you?" ”

Gu Du sighed again and said, "That year, I followed the soul master to quell the chaos......

At that time, after the county order was beheaded, the people shouted Master Chu Shengming, but Chu Qin corrected that it was the emperor Shengming, the so-called companion is like a tiger, he is now a high meritorious, if the power of the spirit country is developed, even if Emperor Ze is not suspicious, the courtiers will not turn a blind eye.

Besides, it is not easy to destroy the Spirit Kingdom, at least it will take one or twenty years, and it is difficult to say what will happen in such a long time.

Lixia said: "What does that have to do with how many troops you transfer? Even if you don't transfer troops, don't you still want to develop your power in the Spirit Kingdom? ”

Gu Du replied: "Yes, no matter whether the troops are transferred or not, as long as the power grows, it will inevitably be slandered, but if the troops are not transferred, even if the courtiers slander, they will not be able to be justified, but if the troops are not transferred, the initial development will be too difficult, and it will even allow the spirit country to breathe." ”

Lixia said: "Yes, if you have 3,000 soldiers in your hands, then the grain and grass in the last round will be burned, and your plan will be completed, even if the spirit country does not cause chaos, it will definitely not be good, either the treasury will be empty again, or the people will be resentful." ”

Gu Du frowned and was silent, and Li Xia said again: "You must not let the Spirit Kingdom slow down, the southern realm is rich in the people, once you let the Spirit Emperor ease up, you will inevitably raise troops to fight, so what's the point of you tossing so much?" And in case Zeguo is beaten back to the ice field, can we still avenge their mother and son in our lifetime? ”

Gu Du said: "I understand these truths, but if the emperor is suspicious, I will become a kite with a broken string, and once I am surrounded and suppressed by the Spirit Kingdom, we will not even have a way out." ”

Lixia was silent again, and only after a long time did he say: "Let's take one step at a time, if you can't do it, you can come back and let someone they trust take over, but now you must transfer troops over, at least burn the next military rations." ”

Gu Du nodded, Li Xia was right, he must not let the Spirit Kingdom slow down, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

The next day, Gu Duji visited Emperor Ze and explained the situation in detail, Emperor Ze readily agreed, and immediately passed the edict, ordering Ma Chongren to select three thousand elites and hand them over to Gu Du, and set off immediately, to arrive at Tiger Roaring Mountain before the next grain shipment.

Gu Du hurriedly led the troops away, and Li Xia called Dongfang Buwen and asked, "Master Dongfang, ......what do you say?" Is the emperor willing to accept me as a concubine? ”

Dongfang Buwen looked at Li Xia with round eyes, three days before Gu Du came back, he came to find Li Xia for Dongfang Xia Lan's business.

He Xuzhuo, the first seat of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said to Emperor Ze, asking Emperor Ze to marry Dongfang Xia Lan as the queen, because Juelingmen has soldiers and food, and they are all descendants of the royal family.

Dongfang didn't hear about it and came to Lixia, originally wanting to ask Lixia to help persuade Dongfang Xia Lan, but Lixia didn't agree, saying that she didn't want to meddle in this matter, and told Dongfang Buwen bluntly that Dongfang Xia Lan was interested in Gu Du, and if she interfered, it would only make good things turn bad.

But Dongfang Buwen never thought that after Gu Du came back to transfer troops, Lixia would actually want to be the imperial concubine, but after the shock, Dongfang Buwen immediately became stunned.

Lixia is still for Gu Du, of course, it can also be said to be for Zeguo. Gu Du stationed troops in the territory of the Spirit Kingdom, and now he has transferred three thousand elites, but it is not an overnight thing to destroy the Spirit Kingdom, and Gu Du will be slandered by the courtiers sooner or later.

If Lixia became the imperial concubine, or the queen, then who would dare to slander Gu Du in front of the emperor? Let Gu Du marry Dongfang Xia Lan again, and the three parties will be firmly tied together.

Dongfang Buwen stood up, bowed down, and said: "Master Li's righteousness is thin and cloudy, and the old man is deeply impressed, but I don't know, does Master Gu know about this?" ”

Li Xia replied: "I am in charge of my own affairs, and I also ask Master Dongfang to help me go to the emperor to find out." ”

Dongfang looked at her and asked, "Really think about it?" ”

Li Xia nodded, Dongfang ignored it and asked, "Really not changing?" ”

Li Xia shook his head, Dongfang didn't hear it and said, "If you don't wait for two days, you won't be in a hurry anyway." ”

Lixia said: "Don't wait, it's easy to change. ”

"Okay." Dongfang didn't hear it and said: "Old man, I'm going to meet the emperor." ”

When Emperor Ze heard this, his eyes widened, and he said in astonishment: "Uncle, you are trying to harm me!" Take Gu Qing's love, he still doesn't cut off my head? ”

Dongfang didn't hear it and said: "The emperor is not surprised, please think about it, only if the emperor welcomes the master of Lili, and then marries Master Gu and the county lord, can the three parties be reliable." Moreover, this is also the loyalty of Master Li, only in this way can he deter the courtiers and avoid internal worries. ”

Emperor Ze frowned and paced back and forth for a while before he said, "Xuan...... No, I'm going to go to Master Li, and I'm going to tell her about it to her face. ”

Dongfang Buwen stopped Emperor Ze and said: "The emperor is not in a hurry, the minister also has to tell the emperor, Master Li is different from the county lord, the county lord is young and easy to coax." Master Keli is a thoughtful, brave champion of the three armies of the heroine, if the emperor welcomes the master of Li, but to really respect and love each other! ”

Emperor Ze said: "This is natural, Master Li is willing to marry me, I can't ask for it, although Dongfang Xia Lan and I have five suits, but after all, it is a relative, not to mention how can she compare with Master Li, I can get Master Li as the queen, I have nothing else to ask for!" ”

Dongfang didn't hear it and said: "Okay, if the emperor can make up his mind, then this matter has to be discussed, please, the old minister will accompany the emperor." ”

Zedi frowned slightly, and said, "Uncle, don't go, Uncle is here, I'm afraid that Master Li will not be able to speak." ”

Dongfang was stunned for a moment, listening to this meaning, the emperor had long been interested in Lixia, but because the relationship between Lixia and Gu Du was well known, he never showed it.

Lixia didn't expect Emperor Ze to come in person, so he was a little flustered for a while, and hurriedly saluted.

Zedi said: "Li Aiqing doesn't need to be surprised, I want to talk to Aiqing." ”

Lixia responded: "The camp tent is simple, and the ministers are not careful. ”

Zedi said: "It's okay, Li Aiqing, let's sit down and talk." ”

Li Xia responded: "The emperor, please sit, the minister can stand." ”

Emperor Ze glanced at it, and there was indeed no place for the two of them to sit opposite each other, so he sat down on the couch and said to the guards: "You all go out, twenty steps away from the tent, and no one is allowed to approach." ”
