After hearing what Leng Shuang said, Leng Yue suddenly fell to the ground. She covered her chest and shouted with a pale face: "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't steal a man. Don't frame me. I don't care about you."
No matter how you slander me, I won’t admit it.”
Leng Shuang snorted coldly and looked at Leng Yue with disdain.
In fact, Leng Yue is not ugly, on the contrary, she is very beautiful, but she has that kind of weak beauty, especially Leng Yue's eyes, which are round and black, and look very clear and pure.
"Sister, how can you falsely accuse me? I haven't done anything wrong to you. Sister, I beg you, please don't slander me." Leng Yue begged.
Leng Shuang's expression was indifferent, and she said: "Okay, you don't have to pretend, I don't believe you."
"Sister, you misunderstood me." Leng Yue's tears fell: "I didn't, I really didn't, why don't you believe me."
Leng Shuang frowned: "Okay, Leng Yue, you don't need to explain. Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. I'm just too lazy to pay attention to you."
"you!"
Seeing that Leng Shuang no longer believed herself, Leng Yue stopped explaining. She took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "It's up to you."
After saying that, Leng Yue turned around and left.
Leng Shuang sat on the chair and looked out the window. She couldn't help but shook her head, Leng Yue, why are you bothering? I know you have thoughts about me, but I can't let you succeed. I, Leng Shuang, will always be you.
Second brother's wife.
Leng Shuang warned herself secretly in her heart. Although she warned herself like this, she still felt a little worried in her heart.
…
After Gu Tingyu left the Leng family, he traveled all the way and finally returned to the capital three days before the new year.
He led his soldiers all the way back to the capital.
In the military camp on the outskirts of the city, he happened to meet a group of officials. They were here to greet him. Gu Tingyu hurried back all the way without even taking a break. At this time, he was so tired that he couldn't breathe.
Everyone gathered around Gu Tingyu and flattered him. Gu Tingyu always had a cold expression on his face, and they were all used to it.
"Your Majesty, you are finally back. The Emperor has been waiting for you to come back for many days." An old minister said to Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyu nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Gu Tingyu followed everyone to the banquet hall of the palace. Gu Tingyu took a look and found that apart from an old man, the only ones left among them were Gu Tingxuan and several princes.
Gu Tingyu's face instantly turned cold. Are these people trying to curry favor with him, or do they have other motives?
"Long live the Emperor." Gu Tingyu shouted with cupped hands.
"Tingyu, you are finally back. My father thought you were not coming back. You have not been in the capital during this period. As an imperial brother, I am very worried about you."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Brother Chen is fine. He was just too busy, so he didn't come back to visit you in time." Gu Tingyu said with a smile.
"Well, just come back. You are the youngest general of our Dongyang Kingdom. You should get some good training. At this time, you also need to study more." The emperor said.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I understand. Your Majesty, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"Okay." The emperor nodded in agreement.
After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, look at this Gu Tingyu, he is getting more and more arrogant. Not only does he disobey me, but he also disrespects you so much. He doesn't take you seriously at all." The Prime Minister on the side said in a strange way. He has always been so arrogant.
Don’t wait to see Gu Tingyu.
"Oh? If I don't take him seriously, then who will take me seriously?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at the prime minister.
The Prime Minister immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no objections. I just expressed my inner thoughts. After all, you are the Ninth Five-Year-Old Lord and the highest on this continent."
He is a noble monarch, but he actually despises the imperial authority. This is a crime worthy of death."
"The Prime Minister is right, brother, you cannot forgive him." Gu Tingxuan also stood beside the Prime Minister and agreed.
"Oh? Since the emperor brother has said so, I must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. I have decided that this time I will let you go to the northwest to quell the chaos." The emperor said calmly.
Gu Tingxuan's eyes widened. He was unwilling to give in. Why should he go? He had always wanted to find a job with the emperor, but because he didn't understand military affairs, he had never been able to gain the emperor's favor.
"Emperor brother, the northwest is far away from the capital, and the people there live a relatively difficult life. After you go there, you will have to rely on yourself for everything." The emperor continued.
The emperor's words made Gu Tingxuan frown. Over the years, he had been looking for opportunities to go to the northwest.
But there has never been a suitable opportunity, and now the emperor actually asked him to go to the northwest. Doesn't it mean that he will not be given a chance to perform?
"Brother Emperor, I would like to accept the decree. How far is the northwest from the capital?" Gu Tingxuan asked.
"Two thousand miles." The emperor said calmly.
Gu Tingxuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Brother Emperor, I have always been weak and I'm afraid I won't be able to go. I'd better stay in the capital to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation."
He had already made a note in his mind that even if he went to the northwest, he would not let Gu Tingyu have an easy time. Don't blame Gu Tingyu for being unkind this time.
The emperor sighed. His son had an upright and kind character. Over the years, he could not bear to force him to do things that went against his conscience. He only hoped that he could come back smoothly when he went on an expedition.
"Are you feeling unwell? Then stay in the capital to recuperate. This will save you some trouble. After all, your current physical condition is really not suitable for going into battle to kill the enemy." The emperor dissuaded him.
Gu Tingxuan lowered his head, looking like he was hesitating to speak: "But brother Huang, I don't worry about being at home. There are only mother and children at home, and I want to stay with them."
"Your mother is in good health, but she is pregnant now and needs to rest. Therefore, you are not allowed to go to the northwest this time." Gu Tingyu flatly refused.
Gu Tingxuan raised his head and looked at Gu Tingyu in surprise: "Brother, I don't want to stay at home, I want to go to the northwest with you." Gu Tingxuan said insistently.
"You want to go to the northwest with me, have you forgotten what I once said? The environment in the northwest is harsh, and the wind and sand there are also very strong. After you go, you will have to suffer a lot before you can come back." Gu Tingyu
He said coldly.
Gu Tingxuan was silent. How dare he forget what Gu Tingyu said?
"Brother, can you bring me some clothes? I don't want my mother and sister to worry." Gu Tingxuan said.
Gu Tingyu said nothing.
"Tingxuan, listen to your brother. Your body is not suitable for going to such a dangerous place. You are now the king of a country. You must know how to cherish yourself." The emperor said.
His son, he had never treated him badly since he was a child, but he just didn't grow up. He was thinking about how to fight for power all day long, which made the emperor hate him very much.
"Okay, you go back to the palace, I want to discuss the government affairs with several ministers," the emperor said.
As soon as he finished speaking, other ministers knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and I admire you all."
Gu Tingyu stood there with a very ugly expression on his face. These old foxes were really just outsiders. They had changed so quickly. Sure enough, they were not simple characters.
When Gu Tingyu reached the threshold, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and said, "Brother Huang, I have one more thing to tell you. The person who will go to the northwest this time has already been decided, and he is the Eighth Emperor.
You don't have to worry about him."
"Oh? The Eighth Emperor's Uncle?" the emperor asked doubtfully. He knew that the Eighth Emperor's Uncle was uneducated and incompetent, but this time he was actually arranged to go to the northwest. This really surprised him.
"Although Uncle Eight Emperors is uneducated and incompetent, he has been diligent and loyal over the years. If we let him go to the northwest, maybe there will be miraculous results." Gu Tingyu said.
"How do you know?" the emperor asked.
"I sent someone to investigate last night. I think this reason is enough to put your mind at ease." Gu Tingyu said.
"Okay, if that's the case, then you can retreat." The emperor said.
…
After Gu Tingyu walked out of the imperial study, he left the palace directly.
.
It was autumn at this time, and the autumn harvest had already begun. He didn't know what kind of difficulties he would encounter when he went to the northwest this time. He just hoped that he could do his best to protect his life and live up to the emperor's entrustment.
The conditions in the northwest are relatively difficult, especially for the soldiers in the northwest. They eat wild vegetables, bark, and sometimes dry food. Such living conditions make Gu Tingyu feel very uncomfortable, but
But he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persist.
The conditions in the northwest are very poor, but there is a different kind of excitement in his heart. Perhaps the environment in the northwest will be an opportunity for him to change his life. If the northwest can survive safely, his future will definitely be unlimited.
"General Gu, you must be careful about what you eat along the way. The environment in the northwest is not good, especially during the rainy season. Once there is a heavy rain, it will affect the journey." An official reminded Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "I will be careful and I won't let you down this time."
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved." The official said with a smile. He was just afraid that this impetuous general would mess up his affairs because of his pride. Now it seems that his worries are completely unnecessary.
"Okay, General Gu, please go back and rest first. You have been exhausted these days. It's time for me to go back and rest." The official said with a smile.
"Okay." Gu Tingyu said with a smile and sent him away.
After seeing off the officials, Gu Tingyu returned to his yard.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he smelled a scent.
This familiar taste made the corners of Gu Tingyu's mouth curl up slightly, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Mother." Gu Tingyu called softly.
"Hey, Tingyu, you're back. Wash your hands and eat quickly. I've prepared the food and am just waiting for you to come back to eat. You've been very busy during this period and I didn't even take good care of you. Please make up for it quickly.
." Mrs. Gu said.
"Yeah." Gu Tingyu agreed happily.
During the meal, Gu Tingyu had a very good appetite. Mrs. Gu watched Gu Tingyu wolfing down the meal, and the smile on her face became brighter. Their son finally grew up, and the former playboy finally became a
A responsible man.
Gu Tingyu ate and went to bed. He was too tired. He sat on the carriage all night and his whole body ached.
He lay on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When Gu Tingyu woke up again, it was already midnight. Gu Tingyu looked at the light coming from the window and stretched. He hadn't slept for three days, but he didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he was full of enthusiasm.
It seemed to be filling his limbs and bones, giving him an indescribable pleasure.
Gu Tingyu changed his clothes and went out.
As soon as he opened the door, a chill hit him. Gu Tingyu rubbed his arms and looked into the distance. He was about to leave for the northwest immediately. He had to be careful along the way. He only hoped that he could reach the northwest safely.
Then there, you will make great achievements.
His goal is very clear. Only by gaining meritorious service on the battlefield can he win the favor of the emperor, have a place in the capital, and possibly marry a wife and have children. This chapter has been completed!
