Gao Shibai went to the court early. Physically and mentally exhausted, he wanted to go back to the General's Mansion to rest earlier, but was left behind by the emperor.

Yue Beihuai, who was about to leave, glanced at Gao Shibai across the main hall, and then smiled at him.

Gao Shibai saluted to Yue Beihuai, and then looked away.

I have to say that Yue Beihuai is a very good person, and he is more suitable for Mu Nan Tang than himself. But thinking that Yue Beihuai would become Mu Nantang's only support, he couldn't hide the bitterness in his heart.

Yue Beihuai noticed Gao Shibai's alienation, and he didn't think much about it, and left directly.

There was only Gao Shibai left in the center of the entire hall, and it was very empty. The three rafters of Hu Lu walked down from the dragon chair, walking slowly but loudly.

Hu Lu Sanrin walked up to Gao Shibai and said, "I have heard some interesting things recently, I wonder if General Gao has also heard of it?" ”

"I don't know what the emperor said?"

Although Gao Shibai said this, his hunch told him that this matter had something to do with Mu Nantang.

Hu Lu Sanrin carefully looked at Gao Shibai's expression and said, "General Gao, have you heard about the robbery of the Dharma Field in Yangcheng by my seventh brother. ”

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Gao Shibai's mouth: "Yes, Weichen knows." ”

Hu Lu Sanrin said as if he was hiding a knife in a smile: "Then Gao Gongzi knows who my seventh brother saved." ”

Gao Shibai could naturally hear that Hu Lu's words were not a question, but a very positive statement. He was silent for a long time, sorted out his disordered thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor, she is Wei Chen's niece - Gao Yunjian. ”

Hu Lu Sanrin smiled: "Oh? That's a coincidence. He slowly paced behind Gao Shibai and continued, "I want to marry her to the Seventh Prince, General Gao, what do you mean?" ”

Gao Shibai's face was pale, but fortunately, the three rafters of Hulu couldn't see it.

Gao Shebai said: "Weichen has no objection. ”

"Well, if nothing happens, I'll order someone to start preparing."

In fact, Hu Lu Sanrin didn't expect that Yuebei Huai was saving the daughter of the Gao family, but he could also push the boat down the river to achieve his goal.

The Gao family produced a prime minister and a hussar general. Moreover, Gao Shibai also married Qi Xun, the daughter of General Zuo, which can be said to be in power for a while, and it is common for Hu Lu Sanrin to be afraid of being elevated. But if Gao Yunjian marries into the royal family, it is equivalent to holding the Gao family's power in his hands. After all, the entire capital knew that General Gao loved his niece the most.

Hu Lu Sanrin remembered something, and said, "General Gao, I still have something to discuss with you. ”

Gao Shibai bowed his head expressionlessly and said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Hu Lu Sanrin frowned and said, "I have received a secret report from the spies that the Wulan clan has been active on the border frequently recently, and it seems that they have the intention of provoking war. ”

Gao Shebai knelt down on one knee and arched his hand to petition: "Please allow the emperor to go out on the expedition and share your Majesty's worries." ”

Hu Lu three rafters helped Gao Shibai up: "It is really a great blessing for me to have a loyal minister like General Gao who serves the country and the people, but this time I have other plans. ”

"Your Majesty!" Gao Shibai was a little dissatisfied with Hu Lu Sanrin rejecting his suggestion, because he suspected that his old injuries were in his body, and it was not suitable to lead troops on an expedition.

Hu Lu Sanrin knew Gao Shibai's temperament, so he opened his mouth to explain: "I plan to leave you and General Qi in the capital in case something happens in the capital. And the matter of going to the border, I plan to hand it over to the Seven Princes. ”

Gao Shi's white eyes flickered. He was not the kind of character who would affect his judgment because of his own personal affairs, so he suggested: "Weichen knows that the Seven Princes are strong in martial arts and proficient in military arts, but they still have little experience in actual combat. If a martial arts competition is held across the country, it will be better to recruit more talents to assist the Seven Princes. ”

Hu Lu Sanrin agreed: "Well, it makes sense." In this way, we can also recruit a wide range of talents and win the hearts and minds of the people. ”

This matter was thus decided, and the entire matter of recruiting soldiers in the competition naturally fell on Wan Heqian, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

The reason why Wan Heqian has been so reused in recent years is because he is extremely efficient and has acted in a sophisticated and prudent manner.

It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the capital, and Mu Nanju naturally heard about it.

This news was overheard by her while dining in the restaurant. It is not uncommon to recruit soldiers in the competition, and the most unusual thing is that the only winner will be promoted to a general.

Don't say that Mu Nantang doesn't believe it, and no one dares to believe this chatter.

A young man in white who looked very young said in a skeptical tone: "Impossible, will the imperial court look down on people like us who have no background?" It is said that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and I am afraid that the opportunities will be given to the children of those high-ranking officials and magnates. ”

Everyone echoed one after another, causing Mu Nancheng to sneer.

If it is really a group of frogs at the bottom of the well, they begin to make random assumptions without evidence, in fact, in order to cover up their lack of ability.

Mu Nancheng picked up his Shui Han Sword with a "snap", and said to the group of people: "How do you know if you don't try it, a group of cowards." ”

Everyone looked at a young man with clear eyebrows and said wildly, and shouted unconvinced: "Who are you, you have the ability to go." ”

Mu Nanju shrugged his shoulders and said, "Go and go, whoever is afraid of whom." ”
