Chapter Seventy-Two: It's Better to Kill the Queen Mother

"Fool," Gu Tingyu reached out and pinched her nose, "Don't worry, I'll come back and marry you."

Cold Frost's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he said.

"You...... What do you say?"

Gu Tingyu rubbed her hair and said, "Silly girl, don't worry, after this matter is resolved, I will come back to marry you immediately."

After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he took her hand and said, "You go back first, I'll go back as soon as I go, and I won't be delayed for too long."

"Hmm."

"Then I'm leaving."

Gu Tingyu was just about to turn around, but was hugged by Leng Shuang, Gu Tingyu was stunned: "Shuang'er......"

"Brother Tingyu, you promise me that you will return safely."

"Okay."

Gu Tingyu patted her on the back, then turned around and left.

"Master," Gu Tingyu's personal guard stood in the dark, and when he saw Gu Tingyu leaving, he couldn't help but say, "Why did the prince want to go to the Western Frontier? Is he not afraid of danger?"

"No," Cold Frost shook her head, "Since he chose to go, he is ready for everything, and he will be fine."

Leng Shuang sighed: "Over the years, you know, I don't like to stay in the capital, especially in that cold cage, so I can't persuade him."

"But," the guard hesitated for a moment before saying, "Is the prince's character really suitable to be the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty?"

Cold Frost was silent for a moment before he said slowly, "I don't know, but ...... He's a man to be trusted with all his life."

The guard sighed, "I also hope that the prince is a reliable person."

"Alright, let's go and rest." Cold Frost said lightly.

Gu Tingyu rode a horse, galloped all the way, and soon arrived at the northwest military camp.

He dismounted and ran straight to the camp commander.

"Gu Tingyu, why did you come here?"

Gu Changqing, who was reviewing the official documents, was very surprised when he saw Gu Tingyu, and hurriedly greeted him: "Aren't you in Jiangnan for disaster relief? Why did you suddenly return to Beijing?"

Gu Tingyu didn't speak, just stared at Gu Changqing, his eyes were complicated, and after a long time, Gu Tingyu said softly, "I came to you for something, I need to borrow five thousand soldiers."

"Borrowed soldiers?" Gu Changqing frowned, "What are you borrowing troops for? You don't think ......."

Gu Tingyu didn't answer Gu Changqing's question, he looked at Gu Changqing and said in a serious tone, "I don't want to hide it from you this time."

"I want you to send two thousand soldiers to Xiling Kingdom to help Xiling Kingdom regain imperial power," Gu Tingyu paused, "If it is possible, it is best to kill the Queen Mother."

Gu Changqing was slightly stunned, then frowned, and said, "Tingyu, although the Queen Mother is a female streamer, after all, she once ruled the Six Palaces, and the power in her hands cannot be ignored, just with these people in our hands, we can't help her at all."

"I know," Gu Tingyu said, "You send a few capable generals to secretly go to the border with weapons."

Gu Changqing pondered for a moment and said, "What about this side? What should I do here?"

Gu Tingyu said lightly: "I have my own plans, in short, you remember, I want you to kill the Queen Mother with your own hands."

"I see."

Gu Changqing nodded, "Don't worry, this time, I will never let her go."

Gu Tingyu smiled and said, "I'll go back and pack my luggage first, and I'll leave in three days."

"Okay."

Gu Tingyu returned to the house, simply changed his clothes, and walked out of the door with a baggage, "You ask my father to resign for me."

Gu Tingyu returned to the room, put the burden on the table, picked up a pen and paper and began to write a letter.

When it was dawn, he wrote a full sheet of rice paper, sealed the envelope, and held it in his hand.

On the envelope were written four powerful words - "Empress Dowager's Decree".

He tied the envelope to the saddle, took a bow and arrows, and a dagger, and rode out of the palace to the west.

******

Cold cream

When she woke up, it was already noon, she opened her eyes, and the image of Gu Tingyu gently touching her head and kissing her forehead came to mind.

He said, "Frost, I'm very happy."

Cold Frost clenched her fists and buried her head in the pillow, the corners of her mouth hooked up with a happy and sweet arc.

******

Gu Tingyu took 5,000 elite soldiers and rushed to the western frontier.

"Lord Wang, this battle, we have won it," a lieutenant general walked up to Gu Tingyu's side and said in a low voice, "It's just that I always feel a little strange in this battle."

"Oh? What's weird?" Gu Tingyu asked.

"It stands to reason that this attack on our western frontier is the Western Liang State united by Beirong and the Western Frontier State, and although our Northwest Army is brave and good at fighting, it is not their opponent."

"In this battle, you don't have to fight hard, you just need to defend the western frontier." Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes.

"Yes," the lieutenant said respectfully, "I understand, my subordinates are retired."

"Hmm." Gu Tingyu nodded, and then continued to observe the surrounding environment.

Gu Tingyu sat in the carriage and closed his eyes.

He had never been a nosyman, but at this point he had to manage.

Xiling is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and he must end this war as soon as possible.

As for victory or defeat on the battlefield, it doesn't matter.

After Gu Tingyu arrived in the Western Frontier, he immediately threw himself into battle, and for half a month, he destroyed three cities of the Western Liang Kingdom in a row, and won countless victories, and during this period, Leng Shuang also led people to sneak into the Western Liang Kingdom, assassinated the Queen Mother of the Western Liang Kingdom, and successfully controlled the entire Western Liang Kingdom.

"Lord Wang, you have worked hard," Gu Tingyu had just come down from the battlefield, and Cold Frost greeted him and held Gu Tingyu's arm, "You can drink some water."

"I'm not thirsty." Gu Tingyu pushed away the cold frost and looked into the distance.

At this time, they had already reached the gate of the border gate, and they were a few steps away from the gate.

This time, they won't fail.

Gu Tingyu took a deep breath and took his gaze back.

"Lord Wang," a hint of gloom flashed in Cold Frost's eyes, "Are you really leaving the capital?"

Gu Tingyu nodded silently.

He went to Xiling Kingdom this time, on the one hand, to find his mother.

Originally, he thought that he would never meet Liu Yunshu, but not long ago, he heard a news that he had returned to Beijing, and he had become the eldest grandson of the Taishi Mansion, marrying a wife and having children.

Leng Shuang didn't believe in this matter, but this matter spread very quickly, and almost the entire capital was discussing it, and even their Zhenguo Mansion heard about it.

"Lord Wang," Leng Shuang bit her lip, "If you insist on going back, your subordinates will accompany you," After a pause, she added, "If you want to stay in the capital, I will stay in the capital to accompany you, and we will make achievements together and be rich and glorious together."

"You stay," Gu Tingyu said, "Your mission is to assist the second brother, and the second brother is a reckless man who doesn't know the art of war, so he is not as smart and clever as you."

Leng Shuang's face changed slightly, lowered his eyes, and said, "You mean...... Am I a woman?"

"I don't care about men or women, as long as it's what I like, I don't care about identity," Gu Tingyu said, "I only care about your attitude, if you want, I will have someone send you to the royal temple to practice, and when you figure it out, you can get married and have children."

Leng Shuang clenched his hands and raised his head to look at Gu Tingyu.

Gu Tingyu reached out and pinched Cold Cream's cheek and said, "Don't think nonsense."

Cold Frost pursed the corners of her mouth, "Well, I see."

"Then take care, and when you get to the western frontier, you will come to see me again."

After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he turned over and got on the horse.

Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu who was gradually moving away, and couldn't help but reddened her eyes, her hand was holding the reins, and she felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.

Why, he refuses to admit that he is a woman?

Her tears fell instantly

down.

Gu Tingyu left the capital and went to Western Xinjiang.

Gu Tingyu's army kept advancing along the official road, and finally came to a desolate plain that was still more than 300 miles away from the border of Western Xinjiang.

On the plain, there were many burned tents, and corpses were lying on the ground, and the air smelled of blood.

A gust of wind blows, and it's creepy.

"Lord Wang, this is the Western Frontier, the main camp of the Western Liang Kingdom." An adjutant general stood behind Gu Tingyu and said, "There are many fewer enemy troops here than in other places, they should all go to Xiling, we can take advantage of the night to clean up the battlefield quickly, and then leave here as soon as possible."

"There's no hurry," Gu Tingyu said lightly, "When we've rested enough, we'll clean up the battlefield."

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, but then reacted.

He was picked up by Gu Tingyu, so he naturally knew Gu Tingyu's temperament, so he ordered everyone to set up camp, prepare to eat, rest, and recuperate their spirits, and then go to clean up the battlefield later.

Gu Tingyu leaned against the trunk of a tree, his brows furrowed tightly, as if he was worried about something.

Leng Shuang walked up to Gu Tingyu and said softly, "Lord Wang, you are hungry, there is a village near here, let's go over there to rest for a while, eat something, and have a good night to fight."

"It's fine." Gu Tingyu agreed.

They had been fighting here all day, and the soldiers were already tired and needed to rest.

The two men walked towards the village.

Cold Frost stopped outside the village, turned to Gu Tingyu and said, "I'm waiting for the prince here, you go inside and eat something."

"Okay, you wait for me," Gu Tingyu admonished, and then stepped into the village.

He took a few steps, then suddenly stopped, turned his head to look behind him.

He faintly heard footsteps coming from behind.

The footsteps were soft, as if they were deliberately suppressed.

Gu Tingyu frowned.

How does he feel that there is someone behind him?

Gu Tingyu was hesitating, and a familiar voice came from behind.

"Brother Ayu!"

Gu Tingyu's footsteps slammed, he turned his head slowly, and looked at the figure running towards him.

"Cold cream?" Gu Tingyu shouted in disbelief.

"Brother Ayu!"

Cold Frost threw herself into Gu Tingyu's arms and cried.

During this time, she dreamed of going back to the capital, but she couldn't go back at all.

Gu Tingyu's brows tightened more and more: "You ......"

Leng Shuang sobbed and choked up, "Brother Ayu, I can't bear to ...... you."
