Please, marry a white snake wife. It’s super cool.

Gu Gaoxu looked at the soul-binding device in his hand. He could not recognize the grade of the device, but he thought it was very beautiful.

Gu Gaoxu smiled and said, "Brother Lu, what do you want this Soul Binding Device for us? Have you forgotten that we captured a top-grade Soul Binding Device in the last battle on Elephant Island?"

"Remember, is there a weapon inside that top-grade soul-binding device?" Lu Yuan asked.

"No, we don't have the ability to catch wild ones!" Gu Gaoxu said awkwardly.

In Gu Gaoxu's hand, that top-grade soul-binding device was just a decoration and was of no use since it could not restrain Xingzi.

Gu Gaoxu listened to what Lu Yuan meant and wondered if there was something inside the soul-binding device that was handed to him?
Gu Gaoxu shook the soul-binding device left and right and up and down, and asked, "Brother Lu, there won't be any big shots in there, right?"

Gong Yuejun, who was inside the top-grade soul-binding device, felt like he was playing a game on a pirate ship, and was shaking so much that he felt like vomiting.

Lu Yuan said: "Yes, there is a big treasure."

Lu Yuan told Gu Gaoxu how to use the top-grade soul-binding device.

Gu Gaoxu muttered something and touched the top-grade soul-binding device again. The top-grade soul-binding device flashed for a moment, and then there was no movement.

Gu Gaoxu curled his lips and said, "Brother Lu, this won't work!"

Lu Yuan smiled and waved his right hand. Gu Gaoxu felt a layer of shiny particles in front of his eyes.

A man with a livid face floated in front of Gu Gaoxu, staring at him with eyes wide open.

Gu Gaoxu took several steps back as if he had seen a ghost, and shouted, "Oh my god!"

Several soldiers in the Lu Mansion heard Gu Gaoxu's shouting, drew their swords from their waists, and wanted to rush into the hall.

Liu Wuge, the captain of the first team of the palace guards, followed closely and drew out his heavy sword and slammed it into the ground. Several palace guards behind him also grasped their weapons tightly.

"No one can break in without the boss's order!" Liu Wu Ge was not afraid of the empire's elite soldiers.

The two sides were at war with each other.

Gu Gaoxu was heard shouting in the hall, "Everyone, please leave. Please follow the rules in my house."

Several soldiers saluted towards the hall, put away their weapons and stood aside.

In the hall.

Gong Yuejun looked at Gu Gaoxu with an unhappy expression and said, "Why are you shaking? It makes us uncomfortable."

Gu Gaoxu quickly apologized with a smile and said, "Senior, I apologize for any offense I have caused you!"

Gong Yuejun floated and circled around Gu Gaoxu several times.

Gu Gaoxu stood there, not daring to move, for fear of offending the senior in front of him.

Gong Yuejun pinched his illusory beard and asked, "Master, is this the person you asked me to protect?"

Lu Yuan nodded.

Gong Yuejun performed a ritual to lift Gu Gaoxu's arms up, and said, "This little guy has excellent bones and is a martial arts genius."

Hearing Gong Yuejun's praise, Gu Gaoxu felt a little flattered.

Gu Gaoxu deliberately rolled up his sleeves to reveal his biceps.

Gong Yuejun ignored Gu Gaoxu's little actions and said coldly:
"Little guy, don't expect me to help you everywhere. I won't help you in times of crisis."

Even so, Gu Gaoxu was filled with gratitude and said, "Thank you, senior!"

Gong Yuejun bowed to Lu Yuan and then got into the top-grade soul-binding device.

Gu Gaoxu looked at the top-grade soul-binding device in his hand, carefully put it in his arms, and said to Lu Yuan with a silly smile: "Thank you, Brother Lu, for giving us this treasure!"

Lu Yuan immediately reminded him: "Hey, we're just lending it to you, not giving it to you as a gift."

Gu Gaoxu covered his chest with his hands, fearing that Lu Yuan would go back on his word and take back the top-grade soul-binding device in his arms.

Gu Gaoxu said with a smile: "Brother Lu, we can't delay the march of the troops, we will take our leave now."

Lu Yuan could naturally see Gu Gaoxu's little thoughts, but he did not expose them. Instead, he smiled and said, "I hope you can achieve military merit soon."

"Goodbye, Brother Lu."

Gu Gaoxu had already run out of the hall, and only human voices could be heard.

Gu Gaoxu jumped on the horse, pulled out the whip from under the saddle, and whipped the horse's butt, shouting, "Go!"

A small group of imperial cavalry behind him mounted their horses and followed Gu Gaoxu closely.

Gu Gaoxu led a small team of cavalry out of Taining City and went to Yanshan Youwei, which was marching not far to the north.

Lu Yuan never thought that several years would pass before he met Gu Gaoxu again after their separation.

If Lu Yuan knew that he would not see Gu Gaoxu again for several years, would he still give the top-grade soul-binding device to Gu Gaoxu?
You know, Gong Yuejun, who is in the top-grade soul-binding device, is the biological father of Yunyun from Changliu Village.

Gong Yuejun and Yunyun have not seen each other for a thousand years. After only knowing each other for a few months, they have to be separated for several years again.

For the two of them, they had to be a little cruel.

In the following years, Gu Gaoxu was in danger several times during the campaign against the Japanese pirates. Thanks to Gong Yuejun's timely rescue, it would have been difficult for Gu Gaoxu to return to the Shenling Empire alive.

Of course, these are all things for later.
Lu Yuan had just seen Gu Gaoxu off.

Another group of soldiers arrived at the gate of Lu's mansion, and the leading soldier asked, "Is this the residence of Commander Lu?"

The guard at the gate of Lu Mansion was also a little confused. What day was it today?

This is the second group of soldiers to visit the master today.

"Commander? We don't know, but my master's surname is indeed Lu." The guard said truthfully.

Even his own guards were unaware of Lu Yuan's promotion to commander of the left and right guards of the palace army.

The leading soldier bowed and said politely, "Please inform that Li Shun, the left guard of the government army, is here to see the commander."

Wow! This is the high-ranking official from the Imperial City!

The guard did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed into Lu's mansion to report the matter.

When Lu Yuan heard this, he ordered his soldiers to order the guards at the gate to welcome the other party into the mansion.

The soldiers came to the door of the hall and took the initiative to place the swords or other weapons at their waists at the door.

The soldiers walked into the hall and saw Lu Yuan sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall.

All the soldiers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "The Commander-in-Chief of the Left Guard of the Prefecture Army (a hundred households) pays homage to the Commander-in-Chief."

Lu Yuan raised his hand and said politely: "Everyone, please don't be so polite. Please stand up quickly!"

The soldiers stood in the middle of the hall.

Lu Yuan gestured, "Everyone sit down!"

The soldiers hesitated for a moment, then obeyed the commander's order and sat down.

Lu Yuan looked at Li Shun, the commander of the left guard of the government army, and asked, "Is there something important? Why are you looking for me here?"

All Lu Yuan could think of was that the emperor ordered the princes from all places to send half of their troops to the east to suppress the Japanese.

Does the emperor also want me to command the left and right guards of the palace army to fight at sea?
Li Shun, the left guard of the imperial army, said, "Commander-in-chief, the Ministry of War has sent an order for you to return to the imperial city to garrison."

All troop movements must be approved by the emperor, which means that this is not just an order from the Ministry of War, but an imperial edict from the emperor.

Lu Yuan asked: "How long do we need to guard for?"

Li Shun, the left guard of the government army, replied: "Sir, according to the Ministry of War, I'm afraid we will have to stay here for a few years."

Lu Yuan counted with his right fingers and deduced the reason why the emperor did this based on the star map in his mind.

Emperor Gu Yuanzhang was ready to fight a protracted war.

In order to prevent the enemy's spies from entering the imperial city, Lu Yuan was urgently summoned back to the imperial city to lead the left and right guards of the palace army to garrison the key points of the imperial city. It is impossible for a large group of enemies to enter the heart of the empire, but it is still possible for a small group of enemies to infiltrate.

Moreover, this is a world where the strong defeat the weak, not a world where the many defeat the few.

No matter how many troops you have, they may all be cannon fodder in front of a dozen masters with thousands of years of practice.

The emperor summoned Lu Yuan back to the imperial city, which shows how much Emperor Gu Yuanzhang trusts Lu Yuan and recognizes his ability.

Of course, the mobilization and rotation of troops in the imperial city were also common occurrences.

"Commander-in-chief? Commander-in-chief?" Li Shun, the lieutenant general of the left guard of the palace army, called softly.

Li Shun thought Lu Yuan was in a daze and distracted.

Lu Yuan was practicing divination when he was interrupted by Li Shun, the Lieutenant General of the Left Guard of the Palace Army.

Whenever Lu Yuan calculated the fortunes of the royal family or the empire, it was always difficult for him to continue with the divination.

Perhaps it is because the impact is far-reaching and the matter is of great importance.

For Lu Yuan, the art of divination and calculation does not work.

Lu Yuan did not show any blame for Li Shun's unintentional action.

"Okay, let's make some preparations and then head to the imperial city." Lu Yuan said.

Lu Yuan looked at the soldiers in front of him, who were exhausted and had a lot of dust on their armor, and said:

"You've come a long way and must be exhausted. You should take a short rest. We'll have the kitchen bring you some hot meals later."

Several soldiers stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Commander."

The soldiers on the left and right guards of the palace army respected Lu Yuan from the bottom of their hearts.

The case of Lan Yu, Marquis of Yongchang, did not involve any innocent soldiers from the left and right guards of the palace army.

This made the soldiers feel grateful to Lu Yuan and they were willing to fight for him.

In the past few days, Lu Yuan informed Su Liyan and others about his trip to the imperial city.

Lu Yuan discussed with his women and decided that this trip to the imperial city would take at least a year and a half, or at most three to five years.

Being apart for a long time is not the same thing.

Even if Lu Yuan had time to return to Taining City, it would only be for a few days.

He would return to the imperial city again to command the left and right guards of the palace army and garrison the imperial city.

Zhao Qiaoer and Song Meiqin reacted most strongly. Lu Yuan went out many times and rarely took his two aunts with him.

When Lu Yuan was away, his two aunts were really hungry.

That's how it is. Once people have tasted the sweetness, they don't want to suffer anymore.

The two aunts thought about Lu Yuan day and night, and looked forward to having Lu Yuan's baby every day.

how to say?

If I don't think about it and sort it out for three days, I'll feel uncomfortable all over.

Zhao Qiaoer twisted her hips and said with great dissatisfaction, "No matter what you say this time, you have to take us sisters with you."

Even Song Meiqin, who was usually well-behaved, agreed strongly: "That's right! Nephew, we are going to the Imperial City this time too."

Of course, the two aunts were not greedy for the prosperity of the imperial city.

Taining City is no worse than the Imperial City.

The imperial city does not have a series of modern facilities and buildings such as entertainment and commercial streets.

Even in Taining City, you can live a happy life and have everything you want.

There is no need to live in a big city like the Imperial City.

After hearing what her two aunts said, Su Liyan felt a little unfair for them.

Gu Ziyue leaned against the wall and said, "Yuan~ The mansion in the imperial city is very big, it won't be a problem to move there!"

When Zhao Qiaoer heard this, her heart was filled with joy. She turned her body and took two steps towards Gu Ziyue.

Zhao Qiaoer held Gu Ziyue's face and kissed her twice on the face.

"Yuer is so caring!"

Zhao Qiaoer's actions made Gu Ziyue completely confused.

Gu Ziyue even forgot to wipe off the red lipstick marks on her face.

Since everyone decided to go to the Imperial City together, Lu Yuan made the decision and said, "In three days, the whole family will move to the Imperial City."

During these three days, the old steward of the Lu Mansion was really busy.

The old butler of the Lu Mansion was the former butler of the Zhao Mansion. The old man is still in good health.

The old butler manages the Lu Mansion in an orderly manner, so Lu Yuan and Zhao Qiaoer feel at ease handing it over to him.

Lu Yuan took his wife Su Liyan to the Su Mansion in the city.

I informed my mother-in-law, Xiaoqian and others about moving to the imperial city to live for a period of time.

Ever since Su Changliang was possessed by the spotted snake, he began to practice the technique diligently.

After Su Changliang finished practicing the ritual, he went to the county government office and was not in the Su Mansion at the moment.

Although Su Liyan was reluctant to go, she could not go with him.

Xiaoqian is due to give birth in more than half a month, and she needs help right away.

Su Liyan said: "Mother, please stay in the Su Mansion and take good care of my sister."

Su Liyan held Xiaoqian's hand and said, "If Changliang bullies you, you must call and tell us."

"Don't worry, sister. Our husband treats us very well and we can take good care of ourselves." Xiaoqian felt a little reluctant.

I have only enjoyed family love for less than a year, and now I have to say goodbye to Su Liyan and others. I can't help feeling sad.

Zhao Qiaoer almost emptied the Lu Mansion's belongings, filling more than a dozen carts and seven or eight horse-drawn carriages.

Lu Yuan handed over the management of the Lu Mansion to the old housekeeper, and the factory in Taining City to his mother-in-law.

Since my mother-in-law took over the management of the entertainment commercial street, her ability as a "professional manager" has gradually been discovered.

Song Meiqi followed Lu Yuan to the imperial city, and the factory had to be left to her mother-in-law.

If Xiaoqian gave birth to a child, Lu Yuan's mother-in-law would be busy and would definitely not be able to take care of the factory and the entertainment commercial street.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan has also trained a group of middle-level managers, who can ensure the normal operation of the factory and entertainment commercial street.

Lu Yuan handed over full authority over the hundreds of guards in the martial arts hall to the captain Liu Wu Ge to command.

Liu Wu Ge is a kind and straightforward person, and he has good relationships with people.

Lu Yuan was not wrong after all. He trusted Liu Wu Ge very much and left him five mobile phones.

After everything was packed up, Lu Yuan and others took a car to the imperial city.

Along the way, in order to protect his daughter Lu Huanqiao and son Lu Zhishen from the bumpy road or catching a cold, Lu Yuan specially made two small gadgets similar to independent cabins.

Children sitting in it will not feel any bumps and it also has a heat-insulating effect.

On the way, Zhao Qiaoer stared at Lu Yuan's lower body and said with a wicked smile: "My dear, have you heard of 'horse shock'?" (End of this chapter)
