The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 404 Duke Qi poached people on the spot

Gu Yuzhi blinked and subconsciously looked at Xie Changshi.

As early as when Jiangzhou was captured, Xie Changshi once said that Ling Changshi's sister also followed him to the battlefield. When they heard the news, many people's faces showed disdain.

He didn't quite understand why taking his concubine to the battlefield would be despised, but he also knew that Concubine Ling was a well-behaved lady, and Gu Yufan was not afraid of scaring her and affecting the morale of the army when he took her to the battlefield.

He was secretly thinking that this was not a good thing!

Gu Yuzhi said with a puffed face: "It's really not a good thing."

He held his chin in daze, and then said after a while: "No, since they are all dead, how do you know that Gu Yufan was killed by Concubine Ling?"

Duke Guo of Qi whispered: "Because there was still a living person there at that time!"

After encircling the Jiangnan Navy, the Duke of Qi naturally wanted to find Gu Yufan immediately. After several rounds of torture, he found out that the King of Chu had run away with his concubines and staff.

Duke Guo of Qi was shocked. They had been running for several days. They didn't know where they were coming from or where they were going. How far they had traveled in the past few days. Can they catch up with the master?

But what he didn't expect was that the people he sent out soon brought back news that they had discovered the body of Concubine Ling.

Duke Guo of Qi thought that Gu Yufan disliked Concubine Ling for getting in the way and killed her on the way to escape. Only when he got there did he find out that Gu Yufan was also dead and his head was missing.

There was only one man present who exuded the aura of death. He was holding Concubine Ling's body blankly. He raised his head when he heard the news of his arrival.

"You are the Duke of Qi."

The man's voice was hoarse and he pointed at a headless male corpse next to him and said, "The King of Chu you want is there."

Without waiting for Qi Guogong to ask, he continued: "There is no doubt that this is fake, because Jin Hua killed this person himself. I cut off the head. I believe you will see it before long."

When Duke Qi wanted to ask for details, the man laughed and looked up at Duke Qi: "Master Guo, I know you are a man who is upright and upright."

"I ask you, for the sake of your concubine's help, help me bury her together."

Qi Guogong suddenly felt bad and was about to step forward when he saw the man take out a dagger from his arms and suddenly cut his own throat. Blood poured out. He subconsciously opened his mouth to breathe, but soon lost it. All life.

Having said this, Duke Guo of Qi knelt down and said, "I thought that the concubine had indeed helped us secretly, so I took it upon myself to bury their two bodies together."

He lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at Gu Yuzhi: "Please punish me, Your Highness."

Gu Yuzhi blinked and glanced at Xie Changshi, obviously not understanding why Qi Guo Guo asked him to be punished.

Xie Changshi thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Since Concubine Ling has committed suicide, it doesn't matter where her body is buried. However, His Highness will truthfully report this matter to the Emperor."

Logically speaking, a person with the status of Concubine Ling, even if she dies, should be with everyone in the Chu Palace. She is not qualified to be buried in the ground and can only be thrown into a mass grave.

But just like Qi Guogong said, Concubine Ling was the one who helped them on the battlefield no matter what.

He explained it to Gu Yuzhi in a low voice, and Gu Yuzhi nodded in realization.

Only then did Gu Yuzhi look at Duke Qi, and heard Duke Qi sigh and say: "But I didn't expect that this person would actually send Gu Yufan's head to His Highness."

It makes it difficult for me to find it. If he wasn't worried about Qi Chengjun, he might still be looking for heads in the nearby mountains and forests right now.

After talking about Duke Qi, Prince Qi and others naturally talked about the situation in Jiangnan.

When it was said that His Highness used snakes to communicate and led his men into Huizhou, and counterattacked in just one day, successfully relieving the siege of Huizhou, Gu Yuzhi smiled sheepishly.

Duke Qi's face was full of surprise. He glanced at Mr. Huo and quickly turned his attention to Gu Yuzhi. His voice was a little seductive: "Your Highness, now that things are calm in Jiangnan, and you have done such a good thing again, why don't you talk to the emperor about it?" Stay in Jiangnan?"

"Jiangnan is much richer than Mobei. The most important thing is that I can help you learn water warfare!"

Except when he greeted Duke Qi before, Mr. Huo spoke up and kept silent after that. Now when he suddenly heard that Duke Qi was trying to steal someone from him, he couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Master, you are being a little unkind, aren't you? !”

"You just discovered that His Highness has the talent to be a general, so you want to take advantage of the opportunity to rob someone. This is not what a gentleman would do!"

The Duke of Qi sneered: "What a gentleman does? I have never said that I am a gentleman."

Lingnan was also very chaotic before, and those old clansmen were very cunning. If he was a gentleman, he would have returned to dust long ago, and there would be no way he would be sitting here talking to the young prince.

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Gu Yuzhi and said with a smile, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Mr. Huo clenched his fists and looked at Gu Yuzhi nervously, thinking to himself, His Highness will not agree, right?

Gu Yuzhi tilted his head and thought for a moment, stretched out his index finger and shook it from side to side: "No."

Under the slightly puzzled gaze of Duke Qi, Gu Yuzhi smiled and said, "Because I don't think Mobei is bad!"

"Moreover, things are calm in Jiangnan, but things in Mobei are not yet calm. Gu Yufan has sent people to Beidi before. Mr. Huo and I agree that the people of Beidi cannot stay peaceful for two years and will definitely invade our border again."

He now hopes that the Beidi people, after knowing that Gu Yufan is dead and cannot rebel again, will think carefully and will not attack this year.

He still wanted to save more cotton so that the soldiers in Mobei would not be so miserable in the winter.

Gu Yuzhi pursed his lips, glanced at Xie Changshi, then at Guard Zhang and Mr. Huo, with a big smile on his face: "The most important thing is..."

He counted them one by one with his fingers: "Xie Changshi, Qin Court Judge, Zhang Weiwei, Qi Weiwei, Mr. Huo, Aunt Xu, Chen Dianyi, Liu Dianyi..."

He felt that he could hardly count them: "So many close people are in Mobei. That is my home now. Of course I will stay in Mobei!"

Of course Xie Changshi and Guard Zhang knew that His Highness would not agree with Qi Guogong's idea, but they still couldn't hide their excitement when they heard what he said.

The two looked at each other and smiled on their faces.

After hearing this, Duke Guo of Qi laughed and turned to look at Mr. Huo: "Sir, you are a blessed man."

People say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later.

In his opinion, although Mr. Huo has suffered unfair treatment for several years, fortunately he met His Highness, so he is in great shape!
Let me tell you something speechless.

China Unicom in our community was disconnected, so we called people from China Unicom to fix it. They took a look and found that it had been vandalized, so they went to adjust the monitoring system.

Originally, it took me 3-5 days to come online, and I thought about explaining it in the comment section, but suddenly it happened!
I quickly coded and posted the text, but it was already past twelve o'clock!
You can pretend that you have published three chapters today!
O(∩_∩)O haha~
