After dealing with the affairs of Fengcheng, Mu Beimo and the others set off to return to Shengjing, and the army of 10,000 people also followed.

Konoha asked Mu Beimo's wolf guards to verify what Mu Yun said, and after confirming that it was correct, Konoha reused Mu Yun with confidence.

After returning to Shengjing, Konoha was so busy that he almost lived in the barracks.

Yao Lin pounced on her several times, and was so angry that she went to Mu Beimo's East Palace to complain to the prince's brother.

It's a pity that Mu Beimo can't help it, except for a few nights when Konoha quietly came to the East Palace, Mu Beimo can't see Konoha people.

The few times Konoha came to the East Palace, almost all of them were for Mu Yun.

Because when Konoha went to the barracks, Gu Yunlie had already gained a firm foothold in the barracks, and the generals around him were all good brothers who lived and died together. is familiar with handling military affairs with Konoha as well, but he is very unfamiliar with cultivating henchmen.

And in this kind of thing, Mu Beimo is obviously much more skilled than her.

Mu Beimo was very dissatisfied that Konoha finally came to him several times, but it was all for Mu Yun, but Konoha always seemed to know how to make Mu Beimo soft-hearted.

She would inadvertently show a little tiredness, sometimes bending down her normally straight back; Sometimes it's the dark blue under the eyes that looms under the lamp; Sometimes it's an inadvertently softened tone. And the accusations on Mu Beimo's lips couldn't be said after he noticed this.

"Ah Ye, why did you force yourself to be like this." Mu Beimo was slightly distressed.

Konoha yawned: "What did Brother Wang say, now that I have finally gained military power, what is it to be busy." ”

Then he remembered something, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Brother Wang taught me those methods are really useful, and Mu Yun is becoming more and more effective now." ”

"I remember you said that you were teaching him martial arts these days, what weapon did he choose?"

Konoha lay on the table and squinted slightly: "I said that I can use any weapon and teach him anything, but he just wants to choose a gun." In fact, no matter what he chooses, the only moves I can teach him are the moves, and how much he can really learn depends on his own understanding and experience on the battlefield. ”

Konoha thought that Mu Yun chose the spear because she was afraid that she would not teach other weapons well, but Mu Beimo was keenly aware that Mu Yun learned the spear in order to be more similar to Konoha for himself.

But he couldn't say this to Konoha, so he changed the subject: "Lin'er's girl has come to you several times, you should take some time to take a look, so that she won't come to the East Palace to find trouble with me whenever she is free." ”

Hearing him say this, Yao Lin's beautiful and delicate face immediately appeared in front of Mu Ye's eyes, and he couldn't help laughing: "I know, I'll find a day to play with her in two days." ”

Mu Beimo saw that she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and she stopped talking, and quietly turned off the lights.

Konoha only slept for an hour, and when he woke up, he called someone to bring a basin of cold water, washed his face, and felt that he was a lot more awake. Mu Beimo was holding a book not far away and reading it quietly.

"I'm bothering Brother Wang tonight, Ah Ye will go back."

"Go ahead." Mu Beimo put down the book, "Just don't be too tired yourself." ”

Konoha nodded in agreement, and the person had already gone out, but in the blink of an eye, it melted into the night.

When Konoha was in charge of everything, Gu Yunlie, who was in Nanwan, was very idle.

Since the training of the Lieyue Army, it has always been busy, either fighting the border or quelling the rebellion. But after returning to Beijing this time, Emperor Jianzhao made an exception to allow the Lieyue Army to repair for a period of time.

For the first time in several years, Gu Yunlie had such a long time to spare. He originally planned to stay in the Burning Moon Army, but it was difficult for him to adapt to the days without Gu Yunyue by his side, and the Burning Moon Army was full of Xiao Jiu's shadow. It's just one person missing, but it makes people feel that something is wrong.

Therefore, Gu Yunlie simply handed over the affairs of the Lieyue Army to Qi Yu and the others, and only asked once every seven days, and then returned to the Gu Mansion. There is not the slightest trace of Gu Yunyue in the Gu Mansion, and he will not be hurt by the scene.

Gu Taishi was very happy, his arrangement in the Gu Mansion family banquet that day was very perfect, Emperor Jianzhao was very satisfied after learning that Konoha was poisoned, although Konoha did not die made him a little regretful, but once again proved the loyalty of Gu Fu and Gu Yunlie.

Gu Taishi wanted Gu Yunlie to carry a few younger brothers. Gu Yunlie is not in the mansion all the year round, and he is not close to these younger brothers, but he feels that he is the eldest brother, and he should really care about his younger brothers.

But after exchanging a few times, Gu Yunlie was displeased. These younger brothers have a stubborn temperament, they have not entered the officialdom, they have already been stained with the habits of officialdom, they are about to take the imperial examination but they have no ink on their chests, and their ability to slap horses is very good. Relying on the fact that he was the son of Gu Taishi, he felt that it was a sure thing for him to enter the officialdom, and he only hoped that he would be promoted to a high position as soon as possible by relying on Gu Yunlie.

Gu Yunlie has always been close to Gu Yunyue, Xiao Jiu and his brother and sister have a deep relationship, so naturally they will not feel estranged because of their half-brothers, but now seeing that these younger brothers are all calculating interests, but they have no family affection, they feel cold at the same time, they miss Xiao Jiu even more, and they can't help but worry about Xiao Jiu's current situation.

Taishi watched him mention the matter of carrying him a few times, but Gu Yunlie was just perfunctory, and Taishi knew that this eldest son looked down on these younger brothers and did not intend to help them get a high position.

In this way, after the New Year's Festival, Gu Taishi became more and more anxious, and now the glory of the Gu family is tied to Gu Yunlie, although the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, but the status of the military general is determined by military merits, and Gu Yunlie, who is idle in Beijing, has been idle for too long.

After thinking about it for a few days, Gu Taishi had a plan in his heart, and found a time to enter the palace and talk to Emperor Jianzhao alone in the imperial study.

Emperor Jianzhao was gentle to the Taishi: "The Taishi is here today, what do you have to tell me?" ”

Master Gu didn't answer, knelt down straight, and bowed.

Emperor Jianzhao felt strange: "Why did the Taishi make this great gift?" Get up and speak. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister knows that he is guilty, so he has no face."

Emperor Jianzhao had a plan in his heart: "Master get up, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

Gu Taishi just got up: "Your Majesty, every time the old minister thinks of the rebellious girl of Konoha, he feels that he is blind, and he doesn't even see that she is a white-eyed wolf. hated that she couldn't poison her, so that she returned to Xiling safely. ”

Speaking of this, the Taishi paused for a moment, saw that Emperor Jianzhao was silent, and continued: "Xiling bullied people too much, and after recognizing Konoha, he actually shamelessly returned to my Nanwan to show his might. This incident greatly damaged my Nanwan's face and made all countries in the world see our jokes. ”

Emperor Jianzhao's face sank: "What does the Taishi mean?" ”

"In my humble opinion, the old minister should send troops to Xiling to correct the prestige of my Nanwan country, and at the same time deter the rest of the countries and consolidate my position as the co-lord of the Nanwan world."

Emperor Jianzhao pondered for a moment: "What Taishi said is reasonable, since he wants to attack Xiling, it is naturally the most suitable for Yun Lie, he has fought with Xiling many times, and he has a lot of experience." ”

"Xiangji." Emperor Jianzhao called the chief eunuch, "You immediately go to Gu's mansion and ask Gu Yunlie to enter the palace." ”

"Yes." Xiangji said in a sharp voice.

Within half an hour, Gu Yunlie entered the imperial study. Seeing that Gu Taishi was also there, he was slightly surprised.

Immediately, he was surprised, first saluted Emperor Jianzhao, and then greeted Master Gu.

Emperor Jianzhao sent someone to give Gu Yunlie a seat: "Aiqing, I want to send you to Xiling, do you have a chance of winning?" ”

This sentence was asked suddenly, and Gu Yunlie was stunned: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly have the idea of sending troops to Xiling?" ”

"Xiling has sent troops many times, violated Taiding Pass, and despised my Nanwan. Sending troops is naturally to uphold the prestige of the country, so that all countries know that the status of the co-lord of the world in Nanwan cannot be challenged. ”

Gu Yunlie didn't know if this was another temptation by Emperor Jianzhao, but this idea was to his liking.

After Ji Zhuo was executed, the post of head coach of Taidingguan was handed over to the bearded lieutenant General Li. Gu Yunlie remembered clearly that this Vice General Li was obsessed with beauty and fighting for power. Let such a person guard the Nanwan gateway of Taidingguan, and with Xi Ling eyeing him, Gu Yunlie is naturally not at ease.

What's more, this is also the only way for him to know Xiao Jiu's current situation. He wasn't worried that Xiling would send Xiao Jiu to fight, she had only been to Xiling for a few months, so naturally she wouldn't have too much military power, and it was impossible for her to be sent to fight.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunlie left his seat and knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops to the battle." ”

"Good!" Emperor Jianzhao stroked his palms and laughed, "You will start preparing today, and ten days later, you will lead the Burning Moon Army to the battle." This battle must eliminate Xi Ling's spirit. ”

When the two of them returned to the Gu Mansion, Gu Yunlie packed up his things and planned to go to the Lieyue Military Camp, but the Taishi stopped him and asked him to come to the study.

"Lie'er, this is a rare opportunity, you have to seize it."

Gu Yunlie knew that in his father's opinion, everything was for the purpose of serving the party's struggle for power, and he also knew that if he said his true intentions, he would inevitably be opposed by the Taishi. simply hid his thoughts in his heart, and only nodded in agreement with the master's instructions.

Gu Taishi knocked on the ebony-edged pear heart table: "Lie'er, you still have something to do here." ”

"Father, please."

"You've got to find a way to get Konoha into battle, you've got to fight her face-to-face, and it's best to kill her."

Gu Yunlie did not hesitate and replied sharply: "Impossible." Not to mention that Xiao Jiu does not have military power in his hands, even if she and I really meet in front of the two armies, I will never do anything with her. ”

"Smack!" Gu Taishi slapped Gu Yunlie in the face: "Where is there still a Gu family Xiaojiu now, that is the Konoha County Lord of Xiling, and he is the enemy of you and Nanwan." She has already betrayed Nan Wan, if you still think that you are the son of my Gu family, turn against her as soon as possible. ”

Gu Yunlie didn't want to explain to Gu Taishi what Xiao Jiu's troubles were, and she also knew that since she had become the county lord of Xiling, it was impossible for her to stand side by side with him again, but seeing that Gu Taishi was so aggressive, Gu Yunlie was also annoyed: "I, Gu Yunlie, have always been clear about my identity, and I will not let the Gu family fall into trouble because of me, and I will do my best to maintain the glory of the Gu Mansion." It's just that if my father wants me and Xiao Jiu to raise troops against each other, it will be difficult for my son to obey. You don't recognize her as the daughter of the Gu family, but I still think she is my sister. ”

After that, without looking at the Taishi's reaction, he strode out of the study, led the horse and went straight to the Lieyue military camp.
