Chapter 308

Gu Peiqing was serious, but in his heart he was not very happy.

Ning Yi has been very brave during this period and has made a lot of military exploits. Even if this kid doesn't like to take credit, he still wants to make some excuses in the future to improve Ning Yi's rank.

By staying in Feiyun City, Ning Yi can continue to increase the number of enemies he kills.

But if you stay with the prince and keep him safe, that's your duty. But if you don't take good care of him and let the prince get hurt, it's just a mistake.

There were various thoughts in his heart, but in front of him, Gu Peiqing didn't let it out at all. He was vague and said that he had arranged for two thousand soldiers to come over and make sure that no one could come in again.

After finally dealing with it, Gu Peiqing let out a breath, and after leaving, he quickly asked Ning Yi to go back and stop hanging around him.

But what made him helpless was that his adopted son was sometimes very stubborn. He learned from the army doctor that it was best for him not to use force these days, so he moved into the Marshal's Mansion.

Gu Peiqing: "..."

Forget it, it's getting late anyway, so we can wait until tomorrow to drive people away.

But he didn't expect that early the next morning, before he could drive anyone away, someone from the capital came.

The imperial envoy came at full speed and brought two imperial edicts.

One is for the prince, praising the prince for his contribution and deserving of reward. Now that the war is stable, the prince can return to the capital.

The second is an oral edict, addressed to Gu Peiqing.

"Go back to Beijing?" Gu Peiqing frowned, his face was gloomy, and when he stared at people with his tiger eyes, he put a lot of pressure on people: "Please forgive me for not being able to obey my order!"

The imperial envoy suddenly thought: "Gu Shuai, are you trying to resist the order?"

"Old minister, it's not that I want to resist the decree!" Gu Peiqing said solemnly: "But that I can't leave. The Quanrong-Dawan coalition forces have been defeated, and the Quanrong side can't allocate troops, but the Dawan side has not yet completely

Admit defeat and send troops from time to time to harass our border. Having veterans guarding the border at least makes Dawan fearful and does not dare to send troops over in large numbers."

The imperial envoy took a breath and suddenly said: "Gu Shuai is dedicated to the stability of the border, which is admirable."

He looked around and suddenly said: "You all stand down."

Noticing Gu Peiqing's gaze, he hurriedly explained: "Gu Shuai, the emperor has two more oral instructions that I have to convey to you privately. If you still don't change your mind after listening to them, the emperor will withdraw the oral instructions."

Gu Peiqing's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little uneasy for no reason.

The imperial envoy had already spoken: "Your Majesty said: I know that Gu Qing cares about the stability of the frontier and only cares about Dazhao, so I should not let you return to Beijing. But I am also a father. That kid Tang'er has made such a contribution this time, and I feel...

Very relieved, but also worried

His safety. He is now famous all over the world. If Quanrong Dawan knows about it, there will be many difficulties and dangers along the way. As a father, I ask you to return to the capital, and as the emperor, I order you to escort the prince back to the capital to protect the great Zhao.

Safe.”

After hearing this, Gu Peiqing fell silent.

He lowered his head. The emperor had already said so, how could he refuse again.

That’s all.

Although the border area is not completely stable yet, as long as the generals guarding the city do not commit any crimes, there will not be much trouble.

"I understand, I will return to Beijing."

When the imperial envoy heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, it was quite stressful for him to be responsible for reporting.

If Gu Peiqing still refuses, he won't be able to get any good results. After all, the current emperor is so shameless and hasn't let Gu Peiqing go back with him. This is a big scandal.

But it's different now.

Gu Shuai agreed.

Even if word spreads, it will still be a good talk.

The team returning to Beijing was well prepared.

In fact, the prince's side had already prepared a few days ago.

A little slower is Gu Peiqing's side. Ten thousand Gu family troops are a problem.

After Gu Peiqing thought for a moment, he called his adopted son Ning Yi and asked him to take responsibility.

"Father, I don't want to. I want to go back to Beijing with you."

When Gu Peiqing heard this, he couldn't help blowing his beard and staring: "Say it again."

Ning Yi stood up straight and repeated it again in a daze.

Gu Peiqing became even more angry.

He just said that to scare the other party and make them change their words, but this bastard actually repeated it again.

"Father, you have an old injury and can only use 30% of your martial arts skills. What if you are assassinated on the road?" Ning Yi looked upright.

Gu Peiqing gritted his teeth: "Encountered an assassin? Are the two thousand soldiers I led vegetarian?"

Ning Yi had a straight face and said lightly: "They are not vegetarians, they eat meat."

When Gu Peiqing's eyes widened, Ning Yi said calmly: "But they are just soldiers. They may be powerful on the battlefield, but if they face masters, they won't be of much help."

The Gu family army is stronger than other soldiers, but against those assassins and killers alone, they can only deliver food.

In order to change Gu Peiqing's mind, Ning Yi also brought up the story of tonight's assassins: "There are a thousand soldiers around the prince, but those twelve assassins are so outstanding that those soldiers would not be able to catch up. If it weren't for me and Xiao Wu

They arrived in time and the consequences were disastrous."

Xiao Wu was also sponsored by the Gu family and had good talent, so he learned the Gu family's marksmanship from him.

It's just that he is a bit young after all, so he is under Ning Yi's hands.

"If you stay in Feiyun City, you can still make military exploits."

Ning Yi shook his head: "At this stop, Yi has killed enough people! My adoptive father, not only me, Xiao Wu and the others also want to follow me back. We miss our adoptive mother!"

"Yes, foster father, we are going back to Beijing. I want to be my mother-in-law." The person who spoke was a young general who was seventeen or eighteen years old.

"The godmother said that after this battle is over, she wants to see my little wife." As soon as these words came out, several young people who came in couldn't help laughing.

Gu Peiqing held her forehead, a little helpless, but also a little moved.

"Okay, go back."

In fact, if he went back, he would not be at ease if these children were left at the border.

"Wow, I'm going to pack my things right away."

"I'm going to buy something for my godmother."

A group of boys ran away talking and laughing.

Gu Peiqing had a funny face, but Ning Yi, who was left at the end, asked: "Why don't you leave?"

"Father, there is a letter from Huofeng Village."

Gu Peiqing took it smoothly, and after reading it, the smile he had just disappeared instantly.

Ning Yi stood nearby, scanning the content in his eyes, and frowned: "Father, why do Prince Duan's words sound so like sowing discord?"

"It's just provocation, Zhu Zi, he is really cruel and ruthless!" Gu Peiqing gritted his teeth: "He thought that my Gu family was tied to the prince's boat, so he took the initiative and cut off the prince's gang members."

"Hun said, when did my Gu family become a princeling!" Ning Yi followed the black face. These sons, influenced by Gu Peiqing, were only loyal to Dazhao: "Fortunately, the emperor is wise and will not be affected by these few words."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence in the room.

Will it really not affect it?

Gu Peiqing's heart felt cold.

If he really trusted him, how could he force him to return to the capital with an imperial edict first and then a verbal edict?
