The sword rises

Chapter 525 Noble Status
Chapter 520 Noble Status
If Gu Hengsheng really did not take over the position of the former Duke, he would be insulting the former Su Dynasty in the eyes of countless people. I am afraid that Gu Hengsheng would not be able to live in peace in the future.

It is precisely because of this that the reaction of the relative Wei Hongsheng is so cold, and he understands the seriousness of it.

The meaning of the former Duke is not trivial and far-reaching.

"What? Could it be that your majesty still wants to force me to take over the position of Duke?"

Gu Hengsheng was not frightened by the chill emanating from Hong Sheng, but looked at the relatives, monarchs and guards with great interest.

"General Gu, I know that the dynasty has slighted you before, but there is no knot in this world that cannot be untied. Please don't take the past matters to heart. Your Majesty really wants to treat the general with courtesy."

The older Hong Sheng took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, then bowed respectfully and said.

In the attic of the barracks, Luo Qing and all the generals were stunned, showing a strange look in their horror.

Why, looking at the situation in front of him, the honor of the first-rank former Duke still cannot be handed over?
The corner of the Seventh Prince Luoqing's mouth twitched slightly. He really felt that people were more angry than others. This is a former Duke of the first rank, equivalent to the elders of the various sects.

That is to say, as long as Gu Hengsheng is willing, even the prime minister of the court and the general of the town have to treat him respectfully.Even at certain times, the former Duke could completely veto the will of the emperor and control the court.

Countless people in the former Su Dynasty wanted to eat this piece of fat. Unfortunately, this honorary title is not an ordinary title of prince or marquis, but a kind of belief.Even the generals who made great contributions to the former Su Dynasty and expanded their territory were not eligible for it.

Only those who have made great contributions to the former Su Dynasty and saved an era will have the opportunity to be named former Duke.

From this point of view, the price that Junhuang Luo Hongsheng paid to win over Gu Hengsheng was not small, and the pressure he had to bear was probably even more terrifying than the monstrous waves.

"Then I want to ask, if I really become the former Duke, will it be beneficial?"

Although Gu Hengsheng didn't want to have a causal relationship with the former Su Dynasty, but now, he can only accept it.

Moreover, Gu Hengsheng knew that his cultivation base was low now, so it was not easy to run around to find the beautiful woman he cared about.Therefore, Gu Hengsheng simply agreed, and relying on the national strength of the former Su Dynasty, it was also an opportunity to let him grow up as soon as possible.

As for the former Su Emperor's mind, it was nothing more than a means of attracting and investing.

Gu Hengsheng believes that as long as he can show extremely high talent and maintain a good relationship with the former Su Dynasty, he can break through the shackles faster and improve his cultivation.

"General Gu, as a first-rank former prince, you don't have to worship the king. You are better than princes and generals, and you can train and raise a hundred thousand private troops."

The prince, Wei Hongsheng, felt extremely helpless. He always felt as if he and others were forcing Gu Hengsheng to take over as the former Duke. The benefits are countless.”

The rest of the relatives, guards and generals seemed to have turned into air, staring at Gu Hengsheng in a daze, and kept thinking about the words "Former Duke" in their minds.

Gu Hengsheng murmured for a while pretending to be considerate, and then slowly nodded to his pro-lord Wei Hongsheng and said, "Okay! I will reluctantly agree to be the former Duke."

"..." Everyone suddenly felt an urge to rush up and beat Gu Hengsheng violently.

It's just that when everyone thought of Gu Hengsheng's current identity, and the Shuangxue sword that appeared yesterday, they held back with embarrassing smiles.

"Meet the former Duke!"

The seventh prince, Luo Qing, finally struggled out of his stupefaction, hurriedly walked in front of Gu Hengsheng, raised both hands and bowed his hands.

Immediately, all the generals came to their senses, and followed Luo Qing to salute Gu Hengsheng: "Greetings, former Duke!"

A former prince of the first rank, his status is slightly higher than that of the princes, Luo Qing does not dare to treat Gu Hengsheng so casually, at least he must be polite in front of outsiders.

"Get up!"

Gu Hengsheng really didn't care much about the honor of the former Duke, and he said to everyone in a leisurely manner.

"Thank you, Mr. Guo!"

Luo Qing and other generals said in unison.

The relatives, monarchs and guards slowly straightened their bent waists, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This master finally stopped making noise, and took his position as the former Duke.

Why does this feel a little weird?

All the relatives, monarchs and guards looked at each other, and there was a hint of helplessness in the eyes of Gu Hengsheng.

"Since I am the former Duke, what punishment will be imposed if the Eastern Expedition fails?"

Gu Hengsheng turned around and sat back in his seat, looked directly at Hong Sheng, the leader of Qinjunwei, and asked.

Hong Sheng seemed terrified, and hurriedly took half a step forward: "Guo... the Duke of the country is joking, and the emperor has decreed that he will protect you well no matter when and where, so why punish him?"

Now that Gu Hengsheng has taken over the position of the former Duke, Gu Hengsheng's status has changed drastically from now on. At least on the bright side, no one is allowed to disrespect him.

Even though Hong Sheng's cultivation base was unpredictable, he did not dare to offend the dignity of the former Duke, and respected him endlessly.

"Oh?" Gu Hengsheng was a little surprised, he suddenly felt that the former Duke's position was a bit unusual.

Logically speaking, if the army was defeated in the Eastern Expedition, the consequences would be such that even the general of Zhen Guo would not be able to handle it.However, according to what the pro-monarch Wei Hongsheng said, Gu Hengsheng, the former Duke of the State, would be fine even if he was defeated.

"Don't worry, Duke, we will definitely do our best to protect you during this trip to recover the city, and we will definitely not let you miss anything even if we pay the price of our lives."

The relative, Wei Hongsheng, was well aware of the importance that the emperor attached to Gu Hengsheng, so he said in a solemn voice with righteous words.

wow——

Everyone was in an uproar and was shocked.

Only the emperor can transfer the relatives and guards of the former Su Dynasty. Now that Hong Sheng said these words, doesn't it mean that this is what the emperor meant?

Your Majesty actually values ​​Gu Hengsheng so much?
Even at the cost of the lives of all the people present, to protect Gu Hengsheng's Zhouquan, this...is too shocking.

That's right, if the king didn't value Gu Hengsheng, he wouldn't be named the former Duke.

At this moment, the eyes of the people including the Seventh Prince Luoqing, when they looked at Gu Hengsheng changed.

"hope so!"

Gu Hengsheng's eyelids twitched slightly, and he spoke quietly.

It seems that Yipin's former Duke is extraordinary, Gu Hengsheng can hardly escape Junhuang Luo Hongsheng's love for him now.

"Everyone is tired today, take a good rest first, and discuss the countermeasures for the next Eastern Expedition at night!"

The Seventh Prince Luoqing knew that it was not suitable to discuss military plans now, so it was better to let everyone go back to calm down first.

"Yes."

All the generals rolled their throats and saluted one after another.
