Chapter 207: The Right to Surrender

Dongfang Xia Lan blinked, she understood why Dongfang Wen wanted to tell Gu Du about it.

The Bear Man Country has a messenger, and if he wants to make friends with the Spirit Kingdom, then the Spirit Emperor will have one more choice, and Ze Guo and Jue Lingmen must have bargaining chips, otherwise the Spirit Emperor has no scruples, and he will not be able to reach out to help him one day and resume the war, and then he is afraid that Ze will not be able to defeat the Spirit Kingdom.

And the best bargaining chip is Mo Xuan, so Dongfang Wencai told Gu Du about the training of water masters in Juelingmen, because it is already necessary to find Mo Xuan.

Dongfang Xia Lan walked to Gu Du's side, next to him, and said coquettishly: "People can't help it, you love people so much, you must be reluctant to let people put themselves in danger, but people are not only your mother, but also the young master of Juelingmen, if the Lingguo is a foreign force, no matter how capable you are, it is also difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, under the so-called nest, there is no egg, if Zeguo is destroyed, where can Juelingmen be accommodated?" ”

Gu Du glared at her, Dongfang Xia Lan shook him with a smile, and called in a coquettish voice: "Husband~Husband~"

Gu Du sighed, took her into his arms, and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan was stunned for a moment and said, "How can you go?" How can you leave your post without permission? ”

Gu Du sneered and whispered to Dongfang Xia Lan what the high priest wanted to deal with him, and Dongfang Xia Lan was shocked: "How can this be? ”

Gu Du replied softly: "That's it, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan frowned and said, "But it's not time yet?" ”

Gu Du replied softly: "When the time comes, everyone has their own opinions, the two countries have signed a letter of eternal alliance, in their opinion, it is time to come." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan's willow eyebrows were upside down, Gu Du reached out and touched her lips, and said softly, "Don't shout." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan gritted her teeth and said softly: "Feng Jiu is Qiao Zheng's spiritual servant, will he ......?"

"No, it won't." Gu Du shook his head and said: "He is not willing to take risks, carrying corpses for thousands of miles, he is a person of great affection, and he is just a spiritual servant, it is impossible to be directly promoted to the high priest, in fact, he follows me like this, Qiao Zheng must not be happy in his heart." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan pursed her lips, her face turned pale with anger, but she couldn't say anything about not helping Zeguo, after all, she had also grown up, and she knew that it was useless to just play with her temperament, no matter what, Gu Du also had to protect Lixia's mother and son, this affection is not something that can be put down, not to mention that when Lixia married Emperor Ze, it was to protect Gu Duneng and take over the military power.

Gu Du said softly: "I just discussed with my second brother, I originally wanted to find an excuse to hand over the military power, but now it's okay, it's a big deal to go to Mo Xuan, no matter who you can't say anything, you go and clean up, tomorrow you will go back to the Ganzhan Mountain, and I will go back to the imperial city to hand over the military power." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan replied with a cold face: "Okay." ”

Turning the day, Dongfang Wen took Gu Du's letter, took four disciples and set off to find Chu Qin in the Imperial City of Lingguo, while Gu Du took his apprentices and his entourage and returned to the Imperial City of Zeguo.

Three groups of people, three directions. Dongfang Xia Lan returned to Kangzhan Mountain first, and Madame asked, "Why did you come back again?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan explained the situation, and then said angrily: "Even if Zeguo wins the world, I'm afraid it won't be much better, maybe it's not as good as Lingguo." ”

Madame sighed and said: "Now the revenge is avenged, but the love has not yet been repaid, it is good to hand over the military power, and it saves the day and night work, if their lives are good, there will be no more war, if their lives are not good, sooner or later they will have to ask Gu Du to take command again." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan said: "Mother, I am panicked, I want to persuade him to resign." ”

Madame shook her head and said, "In life, where will it be smooth sailing, if you retreat at the slightest injustice, how can you do anything?" Besides, Gu Du is different from you, he has traveled all the way, his fate is bad, and after disasters, he will never abandon Li Xia, even if one day, Li Xia will fail him, he will also repay Li Xia's love. ”

Dongfang Xia Lan was silent for a moment and shouted, "Lixia shouldn't be the queen!" ”

Mrs. reprimanded: "Playing tricks again, she doesn't be the queen, can you do Mrs. Gu?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan lowered her head.

Gu Du's entourage hurried up and returned to the Imperial City of Zeguo, I don't know why, this time when they came back to hand over the military power, Gu Du's heart was a little anxious, as if he wanted to get rid of a burden.

Gu Du returned to the mansion to rest for a night, and the next day he went to the tomb to see Jin Lan, and then went directly to the palace to meet Emperor Ze.

Although Gu Du has an excellent excuse, he still has to prevent people with intentions from grabbing the handle, so he wants to meet Emperor Ze first, and then see Dongfang Bin, so that he is not afraid of others saying that he listened to Dongfang Bin's words before he decided to hand over the military power.

Seeing Emperor Ze, Gu Du first said that he wanted to find Mo Xuan: "Your Majesty, the minister has a thought, now that the Xiongren Kingdom has sent an envoy to the Spirit Country to make good trade, no matter what his intentions are, he should take this opportunity to ask him for navigation skills, so as to find Xiandao." ”

Zedi asked, "Do you still want to find Mo Xuan?" ”

Gu Du replied, "Yes." However, after thinking about it, he felt that he should take Xia Lan to explore the road first, so as to prepare for the emperor's long trip in the future. ”

Zedi frowned slightly, turned his face to look at Li Xia, and Li Xia said: "Brother, the matter of exploring the way, it is necessary for someone to go, why do you need to go with Xia Lan?" ”

Gu Du replied: "It's a matter of life and death, it's better to be a minister." ”

Li Xia frowned, and Emperor Ze said, "Empress, you and Uncle Guo will discuss it again, and I will go out for a walk." ”

Gu Du said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing for the minister to come, the minister wants to return the military power." ”

"What?" Zedi and Lixia were stunned at the same time, and Lixia blurted out, "What news did my brother find?" If you know who is going to deal with your brother, your brother will say bluntly, no matter who he is, he will definitely destroy the Nine Clans! ”

Emperor Ze also said: "Since Uncle Guo led the troops, our army has been invincible, invincible, and invincible. Uncle Guo's merits, the heavens and the earth are shaking, if I have any mistakes, Uncle Guo can say bluntly, you must not abandon me, abandon Ze country! ”

Gu Du said: "The emperor's words are serious, the minister has no other intentions, now the two countries have signed a letter of state, and the alliance will be formed forever, even if there is a change, there will be no change in three or five years, there is no war, why should the minister take over the military power?" After all, the minister is a spirit master, not a general, and the minister wants to concentrate on training the sailor, driving a boat to the sea, opening up waterways, and visiting the fairy island, this matter is much more important than taking on a false position. ”

After a pause, Gu Du said again: "In addition, the minister has been fighting for many years, and now the world is peaceful, I want to take a break and accompany Xia Lan well, but the minister has not accompanied Jin Lan well, so I hate it so far." ”

Emperor Ze's face was relieved, but Lixia's heart sank, she knew Gu Du too well, Gu Du must have something to say, otherwise, with Gu Du's temperament, when the situation has not yet stabilized, he will never hand over the military power.
