Chapter 236: Long-term Planning

Chu Qin returned to his camp, calmed down and pondered, through Gu Du's words, he could roughly infer what Zhong Chenghou said to Gu Du, and the reason why Zhong Chenghou didn't tell him anything with Zhong Jinling was just to avoid the suspicion of this 'friend'.

Also, Zhong Chenghou suddenly became the close guard of the Spirit Emperor, I am afraid that it has a direct relationship with Gu Du.

Gu Du said to take one step at a time, but Chu Qin didn't believe it, Gu Du was never a person who took one step at a time, he must have a long-term plan, and he would start implementing it immediately, just not telling him.

Chu Qin wrote a notebook, detailing everything after Gu Du's arrival, and sent someone back to the imperial city.

Three days later, Dongfang Bin took people to Gu Du's camp, Gu Du took Dongfang Bin and Feng Jiu to the beach, first told what happened during this time, and then took out the artillery explanation map, explained it to the two of them, and then said to Dongfang Bin: "You take the picture back, tell the emperor and the queen of Xia in detail, and let the emperor immediately send an envoy to the Dragon Kingdom to see if you can buy artillery, it is best to learn the manufacturing process." ”

Dongfang Bin said: "If you want to learn manufacturing technology, it is not a matter of a moment. ”

Gu Du replied: "I know, let's do it, but you remember, you can't be an envoy, but you must take someone to follow the envoy to the Dragon Kingdom as an envoy." ”

Dongfang Bin nodded and responded: "I understand, don't worry." ”

Gu Du took out another letter and said: "This is what I wrote to Xia Lan, let him take care of the children at home obediently, don't come to me in trouble, although Zhong Chenghou said so, but in my opinion, he can't be the master of the Spirit Emperor." ”

Dongfang Bin frowned and asked, "Zhong Chenghou refuses to make a move, what else can he do?" ”

Gu Du asked rhetorically, "What if he also sends an envoy to the Dragon Kingdom?" ”

Dongfang Bin suddenly thought for a while and asked, "If you meet it, how about it?" ”

Gu Du replied: "Either don't do it, or don't leave a living mouth." ”

Dongfang Bin said: "If you are also going to the Dragon Kingdom as an envoy, even if you don't leave a living, what's the use? ”

Gu Du replied: "Didn't the Bear Country say that there are pirates on the sea? As long as we don't leave a living mouth, we won't be able to rely on us. ”

Dongfang Bin smiled dumbly and asked, "What are you going to do here?" ”

Gu Du replied: "I look forward to fighting a battle, exploring the reality of the bear country, and it is best to grab a few artillery." ”

Dongfang Bin nodded and asked, "What did you ask He Jinsheng to do?" Do you want to torture him? ”

Gu Du shook his head and replied: "I have to have someone by my side who can talk to Xiong Renguo, He Jinsheng is okay, not like Lord Zhu." ”

Dongfang Bin asked, "What if He Jinsheng doesn't help you?" ”

Gu Du replied: "Helping is love, not helping is duty, isn't there still Master Zhu." ”

Back in the camp, He Jinsheng waited outside the big tent, and before Gu Du went to the beach, he arranged for someone to take He Jinsheng to see Lord Zhu, presumably Lord Zhu had already talked to He Jinsheng with added fuel and vinegar.

After entering the big tent and sitting down, He Jinsheng lowered his head and said, "I want to ask Master Gu, why do you treat Master Zhu like that." ”

Gu Du said: "You tell me first, what did Master Zhu tell you." ”

He Jinsheng told him about his conversation with Master Zhu, Gu Du smiled and said: "It's a little exaggerated, but it's basically true, the reason why I treated him like this is to let him explain artillery to me." ”

He Jinsheng said, "Master Gu can wait for me to come and explain to you. ”

Gu Du said: "Then let's put it this way, Master Zhu is too arrogant, I don't like him, I just want to clean him up." ”

He Jinsheng raised his head and looked at Gu Du, Gu Du said: "No matter what country you are, there are good people and bad people, there are sensible people, and there are also muddy people, you are envoys to the Linghuang Continent, you are foreign ministers, you should know how to be polite, the so-called follow the customs of the country, but Lord Zhu shouted that you have strong ships and cannons, and you look arrogant, and even said that you want to destroy the Lingguo and Zeguo, doesn't he owe it to clean up?" ”

He Jinsheng was stunned for a moment, Gu Du smiled, and asked, "He didn't tell you these words, did he?" ”

He Jinsheng shook his head and replied, "No." ”

Gu Du said: "I called you here because I need someone who can communicate with the Bear Man Country, whether it is a war or a meeting, you need to communicate, are you willing?" ”

He Jinsheng asked rhetorically, "Can I say I don't want to?" ”

Gu Du nodded and replied: "Yes, I don't know your family background, if you have any concerns, I will immediately send someone to send you to your country's warship, but as long as you leave, you will never be allowed to set foot on the land of Ze again." ”

He Jinsheng was a little surprised and asked, "What about Lord Zhu?" ”

Gu Du replied: "He can't leave, because he is very impolite, although I believe in you more, but if you want to leave, he will have to be a translator for me, and even sacrifice the flag before the battle." ”

He Jinsheng asked, "If I agree to stay, but on the condition that Lord Zhu is safely returned to my country's warship, is it okay?" ”

Gu Du replied: "No, if you send him away, he will encourage the generals of your country to go to war, although I am not afraid of war, but it will affect my plan." ”

He Jinsheng asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will affect your plans when I go back?" ”

Gu Du smiled and said, "You won't, you are very kind and respect life, you don't want to see war." ”

He Jinsheng was silent for a long time before lowering his head and saying, "I am willing to stay by Master Gu's side." ”

Gu Du raised his hand and saluted, "Thank you." ”

Putting down his hand, Gu Du said again: "But you have to think about it, once you stay, you may never be able to return to your home country, if there is a war, if your home country can be defeated, you still have a chance to become a hero, but if your home country is defeated, you will inevitably be charged with treason and defection to the enemy." ”

He Jinsheng was silent for a long time before he whispered: "From the root of the bloodline, this is my home country. ”

Early the next morning, Dongfang Bin left twenty disciples to listen to the use in front of the army, and took ten disciples to embark on the return journey.

On the other side, Chu Qin's recital was folded to the Linghuang desk, and the Linghuang frowned after reading it, and complained rather unhappily: "How can you tell him, it's really uneasy." ”

Zhong Chenghou meditated on the side, not even moving his eyelids.

Emperor Ling waited for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Old Zhong, your grandson-in-law told Gu Du about the artillery, and said that Gu Du may have long-term plans, what do you think about this?" ”

Zhong Chenghou opened his eyes and replied flatly: "Your Majesty, the grass people just promised to protect the emperor, and when it comes to government affairs, the grass people don't dare to discuss it." ”

The Spirit Emperor rushed upwards in anger, glared at him and asked, "Is this how I make you feel unpleasant?" ”

Zhong Chenghou closed his eyes again, the Spirit Emperor gritted his teeth, and really wanted to shoot the case, but first, Zhong Chenghou was an elder, and secondly, Zhong Chenghou was the peak soul master, so the Spirit Emperor endured it and called loudly: "Tell you the three divisions!" ”
