Gu Tingyu got on his horse and galloped through the mountains and forests. The sound of wind whistling by his ears made Gu Tingyu feel refreshed.
When they arrived in the northwest, it was already the next morning. As soon as he arrived in the northwest, he saw that the atmosphere in the northwest was not very good.
Gu Tingyu got off his horse, led the horse, and slowly walked to the open space next to his tent.
Gu Tingxuan had already led everyone to line up there. When they saw Gu Tingyu coming, they all shouted: "Brother."
Gu Tingyu glanced at them, ignored them, and walked straight towards his tent.
"Brother, wait for us. We haven't practiced riding and shooting for a long time. Let's practice tonight." Gu Tingxuan followed Gu Tingyu into the big tent.
Gu Tingyu opened the curtain, walked in, and sat on the main seat.
Gu Tingxuan was on the left, and sitting on the right was a middle-aged man wearing gray cloth. When Gu Tingyu saw this man's clothes, he immediately frowned.
"Brother, I heard that your mission to the northwest this time is to train the northwest army, so I spent a lot of money on food and drink along the way. You can't just take the money and do nothing."
Gu Tingxuan said with a smile.
Gu Tingyu snorted coldly and said, "Then just enjoy these last days. Do you think His Majesty the Emperor will let you stay in the northwest for a few months?"
The smile on Gu Tingxuan's face gradually disappeared.
"Brother, what do you mean by this?" Gu Tingxuan asked in surprise.
Gu Tingyu sneered and said: "What do you think I am here for? I am just following the imperial edict. Now that the imperial edict has been sent to the northwest, the victims in the northwest are still waiting for relief. How can I delay?
"
"But didn't the emperor say that after you come to the northwest, he will reward you and promote you?" Gu Tingxuan asked.
"Promoted to an official? What kind of official should I be promoted to? Not only did I not get any benefits when I went on an expedition, but I also lost troops and generals. Do you think the emperor would believe it?" Gu Tingyu said sarcastically.
Gu Tingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then became angry, "Brother, you can't say that. You have made great contributions to the northwest this time. We all know that you have made great contributions this time."
"Credit?" Gu Tingyu shook his head, "I don't care about any credit. I just want my relatives to be safe. That's enough."
"Brother, don't say this nonsense. If others hear it, your head will be lost." Gu Tingxuan warned.
Gu Tingyu ignored him and continued: "Okay, I have to make some preparations and set off tomorrow so you can take care of yourself." After saying that, he turned and left.
Gu Tingxuan stood there, looking at his eldest brother's back, his face gloomy.
The news that Gu Tingyu had just arrived in the northwest instantly spread throughout the northwest.
Gu Mansion.
As soon as Gu Tingyu stepped into his room, the old lady walked out of the inner room and asked, "Why are you back so late?"
"Mother, why are you up? The child is late, please punish me." Gu Tingyu knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake sincerely.
The old lady supported Gu Tingyu and said, "Get up. Your father said that you should stay here when you come back this time. This way we can take care of your injuries at any time."
"My child obeys my command."
Although Gu Tingyu said he came to the northwest, he still had a hundred thousand troops under his command. He did not dare to be careless. He had to find out the situation in the northwest clearly before he could find the loopholes in the northwest, and then expand the loopholes before he could break through them.
northwest.
The purpose of Gu Tingyu's return this time was not only to wipe out the rebels in the northwest, but more importantly, to take the northwest into his own hands. Only in this way could he return to the palace and ask for credit from the emperor.
…
Thinking of Leng Shuang who was far away in the capital, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Gu Tingyu's lips.
In this life, he will never allow Leng Shuang to suffer any further injustice. Even if she dies, he will not give up on her.
Gu Tingyu calmed down and began to carefully observe the terrain around the northwest.
Gu Tingyu has been in the northwest for many days, and he has a good understanding of the situation in the northwest. He is secretly thinking about how to minimize losses and at the same time keep the northwest firmly in his hands.
Gu Tingyu has been in the northwest for two months. During these two months, in addition to training soldiers every day, Gu Tingyu discussed military affairs with the generals and formulated a defense plan for the northwest.
The generals in the northwest basically agreed with the defensive plan proposed by Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyu brought back an elite force of 50,000 people this time, but he brought back more than a thousand prisoners. The rest were all buried in the northwest. The families of these soldiers still need to be supported by Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyu stayed in the northwest for two days. His injuries were almost healed. His physical fitness was very strong, so he recovered very quickly. After two days, he could walk on the ground.
Gu Tingyu also had a house of his own in the northwest, but because of Leng Shuang, he did not choose to return to his own house, but chose to live in a military camp.
The military camp was under the jurisdiction of Gu Tingxuan. On the third night after Gu Tingyu came to the northwest, he was sleeping when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the window. He woke up immediately, opened his eyes wide, looked around, and found
It was pitch dark inside the house, it must have been dark yet.
Gu Tingyu coughed slightly, and then slowly said: "Who?"
"It's me, Your Majesty." A deep and deep voice said.
Gu Tingyu was stunned for a moment. He had an excellent memory. This was a familiar voice to him.
During this period of time, he sent many people to search, and finally found traces of this man. He immediately got out of bed, opened the window, and jumped from the roof.
"You are finally willing to show up." Gu Tingyu looked at the man in front of him and said, "I was worried that you would run away."
Gu Tingyu's tone was full of disdain, and he obviously didn't take this man seriously.
The man looks very young. He is wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier. He is tall and tall, and has a handsome appearance, especially his phoenix eyes, which give him a sharp look when he looks at people.
"After this battle, I'm afraid you will have to follow me to the capital." Gu Tingyu seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be swearing.
The man nodded and said: "Yes, since you are our benefactor, then I will definitely repay you."
Gu Tingyu snorted coldly: "Why do I want you to repay me? You are just a runaway slave. I help you because you are worthy of help. I hope you can truly change your past. I don't ask you to serve the court.
But I hope you can protect the people from the flames of war."
When the man heard what Gu Tingyu said, his face became serious. He took a deep breath and then said: "Your Majesty, I don't know who you are? But I know that you are a good person. You can do it for those of us who are on the run."
I am already very grateful to the escaped slaves for their willingness to take the risk of coming to the northwest."
Gu Tingyu patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Am I a good person? Haha, you really know how to put your own face on it. You are a runaway slave and a criminal. How can you be a good person?"
"Then why are you helping me now? Is it because you and I have had some interactions in the past?"
"I had an intersection before, but now I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. I came to the northwest this time to eradicate the bandits in the northwest. If you are sensible, you can obediently submit to my country, Da Qi. I can forgive you.
I'll kill you people, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless." Gu Tingyu said coldly.
"No, I will never surrender to you." The man said firmly.
"Then I advise you to think carefully. This war will break out sooner or later. If you persist in your stubbornness, don't blame me for being ruthless." Gu Tingyu's tone became colder.
After Gu Tingyu said this, he turned back to the table, picked up the pen, quickly drew a few drawings, then handed it to the man and said: "You go and build the city wall according to this method. When you finish the city wall, I will tell you
What do you and I need to do."
The man looked at the drawings handed to him by Gu Tingyu and frowned for a long time, "I can't understand this thing."
"I'll teach you." Gu Tingyu picked up the drawing and patiently explained the construction of the city wall. After listening, the man suddenly understood.
He looked up at Gu Tingyu and found that Gu Tingyu had closed his eyes, obviously tired.
Gu Tingyu didn't go to see Leng Shuang these days, not because of anything else, but because Leng Shuang didn't want to see him at all.
Gu Tingyu didn't know what was wrong with him. Even though Leng Shuang was so cold to him, Gu Tingyu couldn't help but pay attention to Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang's current condition is indeed very bad. She looks sad every day and even eats poorly.
In the past few days, she also heard the news. She heard that Gu Tingyu had been deployed to the northwest, and to quell the chaos. She became even more worried. She knew that this matter was inseparable from her. If it were not for her reasons
If so, Gu Tingyu wouldn't take risks here.
Leng Shuang couldn't help but think of Gu Tingyu in her mind. This man was really outstanding. He had become such a big official in such a short time. He was the pride of heaven and she was not worthy of him at all.
Leng Shuang thought more than once that if she had not married Gu Tingyu, maybe the ending would be completely different.
Thinking of Gu Tingyu, Leng Shuang couldn't help but sigh. Gu Tingyu was a very gentle person. He looked cold, but he was very kind. She knew that if Gu Tingyu had married her, maybe their
The children can now call themselves mother, and they will not have only one daughter like now.
Thinking of this, Leng Shuang's tears flowed down involuntarily.
She didn't know if she would have a chance to renew her relationship with Gu Tingyu in this life. She didn't know if she could leave anything for Gu Tingyu?
Leng Shuang wiped the tears from her eyes, then stood up and went to the kitchen to cook.
Leng Shuang prepared a sumptuous meal for this meal. After all, we were in the northwest. What kind of delicious food could we eat? Moreover, she had just arrived in the northwest. Although she had her own property, she had no money in her hands, so she decided to
I bought all the money I saved and stored it in my own space.
Placing this food in the space will not only ensure that you and your children do not go hungry, but also help more disaster victims, which kills two birds with one stone.
She has been wandering around here in the past few days. Although this village is relatively poor, it is very orderly and without a trace of chaos. This is a scene she has never seen before.
"Leng Shuang, what are you busy with?" Gu Tingyu walked in from outside, holding two bottles of wine in his hand.
Leng Shuang smiled and said: "Oh, I don't have anything, I just made some food."
"I'll help you too." Gu Tingyu placed the food and wine on the table.
Leng Shuang looked at the food on the table and frowned slightly. She knew that this man was not someone who was easily satisfied. He wanted more.
Sure enough, the next second, the man said: "These dishes are all cooked by you, can I eat them?"
The man's eyes were staring at the food on the table with a hint of greed.
Leng Shuang looked at the man, and then said calmly: "You can eat it, but there are only five bowls of rice. You can take care of the rest yourself."
When the man heard this, he immediately picked up his rice bowl and started gobbling it down. This chapter has been completed!
