Zhe Furong: After widowhood and rebirth, she was pampered by treacherous ministers

Finally, the emperor thought it over and over again, and ordered Dong Ao, the general of the town, to lead [-] soldiers and horses, regardless of the suggestions of the courtiers.

Gu Mo glanced at the fifth prince beside him. Although the result was not as expected, the fifth prince still nodded his thanks to him.

Due to the urgent situation on the frontier, Dong Ao immediately took the order after the emperor issued an order, and summoned [-] soldiers and horses under his command to wait outside the city.The emperor and his important ministers had to go to the city gate to see them off after leaving the court, and the fifth prince invited Gu Mo to go with him in a carriage.

In the carriage, the fifth prince said that he knew that the emperor did not trust him, so he guessed that the emperor would not agree, and expressed his thanks to Gu Mo again.

"It's just that the people on the frontier bordering Rouran and Rouran must be in deep water and fire... Besides, compared with us, they are bigger and stronger, and they are not so easy to defeat. This battle is not difficult. Small."

As the fifth prince said, he couldn't help feeling overwhelmed with grief, "I don't know what condition Rouran agreed to Bei Fu, but Bei Fu is willing to help him?"

Gu Mo sighed, and then said: "Yes, although the people at Beifu are brave and good at fighting, they are not good at fighting. Rouran should have planned this battle for a long time, waiting for the return of King Qi and Pingyang. Afterwards, the army's morale was uncertain, and we took advantage of this to attack, and we don't know when the two places colluded under our noses."

Speaking of this, Gu Mo couldn't help but worry that the emperor would blame King Qi and Princess Pingyang for this.

The fifth prince has always had a tacit understanding with Gu Mo. At this moment, he understands Gu Mo's worries, and persuades him: "Although the father is reckless and dull, King Qi has always obeyed him. He has stayed away from the royal family for so many years, and brought Pingyang to the border for so many years. Father is not going to blame him for this."

"He doesn't say anything strange, but who knows what he thinks in his heart?" Gu Mo said coldly.

The same is true of his parents. Although the emperor has finalized the case, all the clues he found earlier point to many officials in the court, and some of them disappeared strangely.He went to ask the emperor, and the emperor's reaction to him was not very natural.

If there are too many coincidences, it is not a coincidence. He is sure that the incident back then has something to do with the emperor.What about King Qi and Pingyang?The emperor is such a fickle person that he can't blame him openly, so will he use other people's hands to do something?

"These days, you can keep an eye on the movements in the palace, and let King Qi and Pingyang be more careful. But since Dong Ao is going, at least it is much more reliable than the prince's going, so we will wait and see."

Gu Mo nodded, now, it can only be like this.

When they reached the city wall, they got out of the carriage, and there were more people around, and the two stopped discussing the matter.

Outside the city wall, the scene of [-] soldiers and horses lined up neatly is extremely spectacular.Except for the king of Qi who brought [-] soldiers to Rouran four years ago, he never sent such a big battle.

It was noon at this time, and the sun was shining brightly.

The emperor was not in good health recently, and was dying from the sun, so he urged Eunuch Liao beside him to finish the ceremony quickly.

Eunuch Liao yelled, and the battle drums sounded deafeningly.

With the rhythmic drumming, Dong Ao came out of the city gate on a white horse, looking at his heroic appearance.

A soldier hurriedly sent the battle flag up, and Dong Ao took it and slowly turned around, facing the people on the city wall.

Gu Mo, who was leaning against the wall, was looking down at Dong Ao seriously, but he heard a commotion from behind him.

He turned his head slightly, and saw Ping Yang running up from the stairs, and then came to his side, holding his hands on the wall to support his body, panting.

Seeing Pingyang's anxious appearance, he thought the emperor would make a move so soon, and the five princes frowned.

"Pingyang, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Brother Wu, Brother Mo... Pingyang, Pingyang also wants to fight." Pingyang raised his head to look at the two of them, his facial features locked, feeling very wronged.

"I ran out by myself, and my father wouldn't let me come."

Gu Mo and the fifth prince looked at each other, speechless.

"Beep-"

"Long live my emperor—"

The horn blew, and the army under the city wall, more than [-] people, shouted in unison, and the sound was very shocking.

Pingyang is very familiar with this set of rituals, and the next step is to shout the army slogan.

The fifth prince noticed Pingyang's expression, and stretched out his hand to stroke Pingyang's head.

"Pingyang, King Qi's legs and feet are not so convenient now, you should hurry back and take care of your father. Besides, you are still too young and a woman, your father must be afraid that you will go to the battlefield alone."

"But, I've been in Rouran for so many years..."

Since he was taken to Rouran by his father at the age of 14, Pingyang has stayed there for four years without returning to Beijing, and has long regarded Rouran as his second home.

Not long after the words fell, the army slogans under the wall came, followed by the sound of footsteps resounding through the sky.

Seeing the end of the farewell ceremony, it is not easy to talk here, so the fifth prince gestured to ask Gu Mo and Pingyang to return to the mansion to talk.

When leaving, Pingyang turned his head three times a step, looking at the soldiers under the city wall reluctantly.

When he returned to the fifth prince's mansion, Pingyang still looked gloomy.

"Pingyang, you were free and unrestrained in Rouran a few years ago, and you don't understand the intrigues in this capital. But King Qi is old and can't protect you forever."

The fifth prince poured tea for Pingyang while talking.

"Whether or not the father has blamed you and your father is another matter. You are so young, and I believe he will not give you military power. What should you do then? Although you are proficient in martial arts, compared with the people in Beifu, you are after all woman!"

"Then if I go, can't I make up for it?" Ping Yang was very persistent.

"You're gone, what about your father?" Gu Mo, who had been in a deep voice, finally spoke.

Ping Yang pursed his lips, unable to respond.

Seeing that it was effective, Gu Mo continued to add coldly: "You forgot your father's injury, how did it come about?"

Hearing this, Pingyang was completely silent.

"Now that the army is gone, don't think about those who have what you have. Take care of your father. And... ensuring your own safety is the main thing."

"Safe?" Ping Yang was confused.

In Jiang Taifu's mansion, Jiang Zhenglin and Jiang Han have not yet returned from the imperial court.

But now Jiang Yue heard from Lu Yurou that the frontier was attacked by Bei Fu. When the incident happened suddenly, she was faintly worried that Gu Mo would volunteer to go there, so she hurriedly asked Ye Zi to go out to inquire, and walked back and forth in the house anxiously.

Immediately, Ye Zi came back, bringing the news that General Zhen Guo led ten thousand soldiers and horses to set off.

Jiang Yue immediately felt a sigh of relief. Although it is an honor and a good thing to gain military power by going out for an expedition.But after all, it is a battlefield where swords have no eyes, and she still doesn't want Gu Mo to lead troops out.

This would remind her of Gu Mo's bleak and bleak ending in her previous life.

She went to the kitchen to make some of Gu Mo's favorite pastries, and rushed to Duke Dingguo's mansion.
