"Hahahahahaha!"

A burst of hearty laughter sent the fallen leaves flying off the eaves.

Gu Fan, who had left in the morning, unexpectedly returned to the main store of Xiangyun Store. Before they even entered, laughter penetrated the eardrums of Gu Zhen and Taohua. The two were on tenterhooks for a long time, and neither of them were good at regulating their emotions.

The atmosphere inside was naturally very sad.

Gu Zhen frowned, and when Gu Fan entered the door, she immediately said with a straight face: "Brother, what makes you so happy?"

When Gu Fan saw this, he knew that his younger sister had a misunderstanding, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, brother, I have good news for you."

Gu Zhen's brows were filled with joy, and she no longer cared about Gu Fan's previous rashness, and asked nervously and expectantly: "But what's the news about Brother Yue?"

Gu Fan walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, drank it down, and then said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, I will tell you slowly. I went to the Duke of Xiang's Mansion in the morning. Although my father and I

Our friendship with the Marquis of Xiangcheng is not deep, but

The love affair of the previous generation was still there, so Xiao Jin’s eldest brother agreed to contact some family friends to help Pei Yue support the situation. I had just left Xiangguo Mansion and before I got to the next house, I heard a news halfway. Guess what?

?”

Gu Zhen gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that Sister Ye was not here, otherwise she would definitely give this incompetent fourth brother a good beating.

Gu Fan understood her character and knew that she was really anxious, so he quickly said: "Pei Yue is safe and sound! Don't worry! Today at the court, first of all, the old fireman Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, put the war in the western region at a disadvantage.

The responsibility is placed on Pei Yue, and His Majesty wants his Majesty to dismiss him from office. Do you think this old firecracker took the wrong medicine? He has nothing to do with our Wu Xun, when will it be his turn to comment on Wu Xun's official position?"

"Ah? Minister of the Ministry of War?" Taohua's face was frightened and her mouth opened wide.

In her understanding, the Minister is a top official, not to mention the Minister of the Ministry of War. Even such a person has to be in trouble with the young master. This is really...

She silently clenched her little fists, as if she wanted to fight the old man and the official.

Since Gu Zhen knew that Pei Yue was fine, she naturally wouldn't worry too much. Moreover, she had also asked Shen Danmo to learn about some of the court structure in the past two years, and knew that the Minister of War only bluffed people, but in fact did not have much power. She understood Gu Fan

He glanced at me and said, "Brother, I didn't know you had the ability to tell stories, little sister."

Gu Fan laughed, sat down and said, "Lao Liu's proposal of a firecracker was blocked by Wei Guogong on the spot. Before it was over, the old immortal Marquis of Fengcheng actually jumped out and said that Pei Yue had no talent and asked His Majesty to remove him from the military post.

, and also asked Pei Yue to go to the most dangerous Nanshan Army Stronghold to defend the city. I think this old guy is really tired of living, sooner or later I will chop off his head with my own hands!"

Gu Zhen said helplessly: "Brother, are these words fair to say? You can't bring trouble to daddy."

"That's all, let's let his head stay on his neck for a while. At that time, in addition to Li Pingzhong, more than a dozen ministers jumped out, all wanting to attack Pei Yue and force His Majesty to remove him from his military post."

The more Gu Fan talked, the angrier he became, and he slammed his palm on the table.

Taohua asked miserably: "Master Gu, why do they do this to my young master?"

Gu Fan sighed softly: "Your young master is indeed too capable. He has many enemies, and he is in charge of Zangfengwei, the emperor's personal guard. How can he not make people jealous?"

Taohua didn't quite understand. She just felt that those people were too disgusting. The young master had to suffer so much to achieve what he is today. What does it have to do with them?

Gu Zhen asked: "What happened next? But His Majesty refuted their opinions?"

At this time, Gu Fan showed a hint of respect, straightened his body and said: "It's not your Majesty, it's the leftist leader Mo Haoli who scolded these people in public and called them a bunch of bastards. He scolded them happily! Then the Red Feather Messenger came in directly.

The palace reports that the northern front of the Western Border has won a great victory at Xishan! This boy Pei Yue led the Zangfeng

Wei, together with Tang Youzhi, the commander of the Longgong Camp, fought a decisive battle with Xie Lin, the general of Xiwu Zhendong near the Xishan Military Village, and wiped out more than 60,000 enemies! Xie Lin was known as the third famous general of Xiwu, and as a result

After being beaten to pieces, he took tens of thousands of defeated soldiers back to Xiwu! Hahahahaha!"

Taohua cheered when she heard this, and a bright smile instantly appeared on her face.

Gu Zhen didn't show her feelings like she did, but the worries that had been pent up in her eyes were swept away. Her hands that had been tightly clenched unknowingly let go, she breathed out gently, and her face became quiet and gentle.

.

She remembered something and asked again: "Why weren't these two battle reports sent at the same time?"

Gu Fan replied: "The two battles were not launched at the same time. Cheng'an Hou Lu Min fought with the Xiwu people first. After losing, he sent the battle report back to Kyoto. He also implicated Pei Yue in the battle report. This guy is not a good guy.

The war on the northern front broke out two days later, and then the news was sent back to Kyoto as soon as possible, but the distance to the north is longer, so it took so long."

"I see."

Gu Zhen nodded slightly, and the skin on her face became more and more radiant. She thought of the young man far away in the West, and his funny face involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Gu Fan continued: "You don't know that the officials who attacked Pei Yue before were so frightened that they were shaking like chaff after hearing the news. If the adults in the two mansions hadn't been too lazy to deal with them, they would have been told to get out.

Out of the court."

"Why?" Taohua asked puzzledly.

These people obviously have bad intentions and maliciously criticize their young master. Can such people continue to be high officials?

Facing Taohua's puzzled gaze, Gu Fan shook his head and said, "You don't understand, some things in this world are like this. Not everyone is as happy with grudges as your young master. Even His Majesty just reprimanded them severely and punished them.

It’s just a salary for half a year. Let’s put this matter aside for now. The Marquis of Jining is probably going to be promoted again this time. Even if your young master returns to Beijing now, at least there will be an earl waiting for him.”

"Is there still going to be a war in the Western Region? When will Brother Yue come back?" Gu Zhen asked.

Gu Fan frowned slightly, he didn't know how to answer this question.

"I still need to fight."

A calm voice suddenly came from outside, and then a middle-aged man walked into the main hall.

The three juniors in the hall quickly stood up, and Gu Fan, who was always carefree, saluted respectfully: "Mr. Xi, why are you here?"

Mr. Xi waved his hand to signal them not to be too polite, and said to Gu Fan: "Wang Yong is watching over at Shouyang Mountain, Qi Min is watching over at the mansion, and several other young people are also very capable. The general number is

You need to be careful, Sun Qi's powerful disciples and the three general shopkeepers have no problem doing their jobs, but the overall situation cannot be left in the hands of others."

Gu Fan heard what he meant and said in surprise: "Sir, do you want to leave?"

Mr. Xi nodded slightly, with a deeper meaning in his eyes that they could not understand, and said calmly: "I want to go to the west."

Gu Zhen knew how important Mr. Xi was to Pei Yue, but for some reason, her consciousness told her that if this unfathomable gentleman went to the west this time, something terrible might happen.

Mr. Xi looked at Gu Zhen and was slightly surprised when he saw her penetrating eyes. Then he said warmly: "Don't worry, I'm going to help Pei Yue this time and I have some private matters to deal with. You can stay peacefully in Kyoto, he

I will definitely come back safely."
