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

Faced with the crying Gu Ziyue, Lu Yuan was a little at a loss.

Lu Yuan could have kept this matter secret, but he didn't.

Lu Yuan held Gu Ziyue's hands with both hands and advised: "You are pregnant with our child now, don't be impulsive."

Lu Yuan also didn't want to bring up the baby in Gu Ziyue's belly.

However, there was no other way to stop Gu Ziyue at the moment.

Gu Ziyue has a playful personality, but is also relatively independent, and even a little stubborn.

Having said that, Gu Ziyue hugged Lu Yuan's waist.

He cried out "Wow!"

Gu Ziyue's nose twitched as she said, "Yuan, what do you think we should do? He's my biological brother!"

Lu Yuan patted Gu Ziyue's back and comforted her, "Good luck will come to you. Your father will not ignore it."

Gu Ziyue raised her head, looked at Lu Yuan with tears in her eyes, pouted her cherry lips, and said:
"I beg my father to let you lead the troops to rescue my brother."

Gu Ziyue has full confidence in Lu Yuan's ability.

I think only Lu Yuan can ensure that this matter is foolproof.

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "This matter has not been spread yet, so don't take the initiative to tell your father."

"why?"

Gu Ziyue asked directly, then lowered her head and remained silent, as if she understood something.

As the emperor's daughter, how could Gu Ziyue not understand the character of her father?

If such an important matter is not officially announced, others will have no way of knowing it.

If someone learned about it from him or spread it, the emperor would have to suspect whether this person had ulterior motives and was detrimental to the empire.

What is this behavior?
This is the behavior of a spy!
If Gu Ziyue went to the emperor for help at this time, how could she make the emperor trust Lu Yuan?
Several days passed.

The Ministry of War came to Lu Yuan's house and delivered the Ministry of War's order.

Lu Yuan received a transfer order from the Ministry of War.

"The Imperial City's North Gate is under-guarded, so the Left Guard of the Palace Army will temporarily assist in guarding it."

After receiving the order, Lu Yuan put on his armor and went out of the house to the west gate of the imperial city.

Gu Ziyue came over with a bulging belly and asked, "Yuan~Did the emperor ask you to rescue my elder brother?"

Lu Yuan touched Gu Ziyue's forehead and said, "I think it was Zhao Feng, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, who led an elite force to go there secretly."

Gu Ziyue was a little disappointed, but when she heard that it was Lord Zhao, she felt a little relieved.

Zhao Feng, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, is an old general who has fought in the battlefield. He is capable of rescuing his elder brother Gu Biao from the hands of the thugs.

Lu Yuan comforted him, "Our divination and calculation skills are very difficult to predict once the matter is too complicated. We have to trust General Zhao."

"Yeah, I get it. I won't act on impulse anymore."

As Gu Ziyue spoke, she put armor on Lu Yuan.

After putting on the armor, Lu Yuan held Gu Ziyue's little face in his hands and kissed her on the forehead.

"Yuer, don't stay in your room all day. Go out more often and breathe some fresh air. You'll feel better!"

Gu Ziyue forced a smile and said, "Yuan~ Go quickly, we are waiting for you to come back for dinner!"

Lu Yuan nodded and picked up a sword standing in the corner of the room.

This sword was made by Lu Yuan himself using extremely expensive materials.

The appearance of the sword is very similar to the previous Tianshi Sword, and it can easily cut hair.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a “magic weapon”!
However, no matter how Lu Yuan tried, he just didn't feel comfortable holding it in his hand.

After all, it is not as easy to use as the Tianshi Sword.

Lu Yuan came to the tower at the west gate of the imperial city, wearing armor and holding a sword, walking steadily and with powerful steps.

"General!"

"General!"

……

Wherever Lu Yuan passed, all the soldiers under his command bowed and shouted.

Lu Yuan nodded in response.

"Lord Commander!"

Someone shouted from the other side of the city wall.

It was the commander Lan Ying who was leading the soldiers on patrol and walking towards Lu Yuan.

Lan Ying's position in the left guard of the palace army is second only to Lu Yuan.

After observing him for several years, Lu Yuan has come to trust him and has entrusted most military affairs to Lan Ying.

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Lan Ying, I just happened to want to talk to you about something!"

Lu Yuan waved his hand, and the soldiers behind Lan Ying walked around the two of them and went to patrol elsewhere.

"Sir, if you have anything to say, just tell me!" Lan Ying and Lu Yuan walked side by side.

Lu Yuan said: "Lan Ying, with your ability, you can definitely serve as the commander of the First Guard. There is no need for you to work under me."

Lan Ying originally belonged to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but later recognized Yongchang Marquis Lan Yu as his adoptive father and was actually an undercover agent.

After Yongchang Marquis Lan Yu was executed by the emperor, Lan Ying did not return to the Jinyiwei, but continued to stay in the Zuowei of the Palace Army as the commander-in-chief.

After hearing this, Lan Ying said, "I would like to stay under your command forever and help you solve your problems."

Lu Yuan patted Lan Ying on the shoulder and said, "The Ministry of War has issued an order to transfer the left guard of the government army to the north gate for rotation. You lead the troops!"

Lan Ying bowed and said, "As you wish!"

Lan Ying put down his hand and asked again, "Aren't there Jinwu Guards at the North Gate?"

Lu Yuan looked at Lan Ying and smiled, saying, "We don't care about the Ministry of War's affairs, just do it!"

"That's what the adults said!"

These days, Lu Yuan has always been very cautious in doing things for the emperor.

Crown Prince Gu Biao has not returned to the court yet, and there is a lot of suspicion among the court.

This is the critical moment!

One day, Lu Yuan was patrolling at the city gate when the phone suddenly rang.

Lu Yuan took out his cell phone and looked at the string of numbers that had not been displayed for many years. It felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

Lu Yuan pressed the green button and answered the call.

The voice on the other end of the phone came: "Brother Lu, where are you? I'm outside Taining City, why don't you come out to greet me?"

Lu Yuan smiled helplessly and responded: "You guys, you're back from Japan! This is a triumph!"

"Well, isn't it? There's someone there who has the upper hand, and he just happens to be passing through Taining City." Gu Gaoxu said as I looked at him, holding the phone in his hand.

"What a pity. I haven't been in Taining City for the past two years. I came to the imperial city." Lu Yuan stood on the top of the city wall, pinching a blue brick on the wall with his hand.

"Oh! Brother Lu, you're so good that you've made it to the imperial city." There was a hint of surprise in Gu Gaoxu's tone.

"Brother Lu, I believe we will meet soon!" Gu Gaoxu said confidently.

"Okay, we just need someone to drink and brag in the Imperial City."

"Okay, Brother Lu, see you later!" Gu Gaoxu said, and then hung up the phone.

Gu Gaoxu placed the phone on the carriage and carried one of his bandaged feet high up.

Outside the carriage, a soldier on horseback asked, "General, are we still going into Taining City?"

"Why go in? Just go back to Yandu!" Gu Gaoxu shouted.

"Okay, General."

The news that the Shenling Empire's army had crushed Japan soon reached the imperial capital.

What was surprising to all the civil and military officials was that the emperor did not seem to be overly happy about this, or to hold any grand celebrations.

The emperor issued an edict, ordering all the generals who participated in the war against Japan to return to the imperial capital to report on their work.

The emperor would also take this opportunity to bestow great rewards.

In recent years, the Shenling Empire has sent hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer Japan. Among the hundreds of thousands of troops, the most outstanding one was the Yanshan Right Guard led by Gu Gaoxu.

The Yanshan Right Guard was equipped with advanced firearms and caused heavy casualties to the Japanese soldiers.

It can even be said that it was an advanced war that did not belong to this era.

Gu Gaoxu, in particular, got several firearms that could fire continuously from somewhere.

Several people were responsible for loading bullets for him, and he was only responsible for shooting.

Even the hundreds of enemy soldiers were unable to get close to him.

The Japanese Kingdom not only has soldiers, but also a large number of highly skilled practitioners.

At this time, the Taoist priests from the Tianchao Palace and Leshen Temple of the Shenling Empire are needed to deal with these people.

This national war lasted for three years, not to mention the casualties.

Even among the Taoist priests in Tianchao Palace and Leshen Temple, only three out of ten are still alive.

Among them, the group with the lowest casualties was the Yanshan Right Guard led by Gu Gaoxu.

The Three Yanshan Guards under Gu Di were such a brave army that they also aroused the emperor's vigilance.

Fortunately, Yanshan Guard was under the command of the emperor's fourth son.

It’s not an army from another family.

After returning to Yandu, Gu Gaoxu was highly praised by his father Gu Di for his outstanding combat command and military achievements in the national war.

Gu Gaoxu was very busy in the few days after returning to Yandu.

After Gu Gaoxu paid a visit to his father, he spent time in the factory opened in Yandu.

Even when his eldest brother and third brother invited him out for a drink, Gu Gaoxu refused.

With the help of the light from the spirit stone lamp, Gu Gaoxu twisted his neck and tilted his head, looking at the numbers in the account book, muttering:

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million."

Gu Gaoxu pressed his right fingers on the account book, counting the numbers one by one, feeling extremely excited.

Unexpectedly, during these three years, the factory made a profit and accumulated millions of taels of silver.

The person who manages the factory's finances is Gu Gaoxu's confidant.

Even Gu Gaoxu's biological father didn't know how much money the factory made, he only knew that it made a lot.

Gu Gaoxu, holding the account book in his hand, drove away the servant who was serving him.

Gu Gaoxu picked up the phone and dialed Lu Yuan.

"Who's calling at this late hour?"

Lu Yuan was busy at the moment and was disturbed by the ringing of the phone.

While swaying his body, Lu Yuan reached out to grab the phone on the cabinet beside the kang.

Zhao Qiaoer was sticking out her big butt and braying like a donkey!
"My dear, who's calling?"

Zhao Qiaoer turned her head to look at Lu Yuan and asked breathlessly.

"It's Gu Gaoxu's call." Lu Yuan looked at the displayed phone number and answered.

"Mmmmm~"

"My dear nephew, don't stop!"

After Zhao Qiaoer finished speaking, she lowered her head.

This way, you can lift it higher.

Lu Yuan clapped his hands and heard a crisp sound.

Lu Yuan said earnestly: "Don't worry, I will definitely be satisfied."

Lu Yuan answered the phone and asked, "Why are you calling me at this time?"

After Gu Gaoxu set foot on the land of Shenling Empire, the phone had a signal.

Gu Gaoxu is a strange guy. He has been away for three years and just returned home, but he doesn't even miss his wife.

Instead, he often talks with Lu Yuan.

Gu Gaoxu said excitedly: "Brother Lu, guess how much money we have made in the past few years?"

"How much?" Lu Yuan asked mechanically.

At this moment, Lu Yuan had no interest at all, and his attention was all on Zhao Qiaoer.

"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Lu, do you have to be so calm?" Gu Gaoxu said, holding the account book.

Gu Gaoxu had no idea what Lu Yuan was busy with at the moment.

If you listen carefully, you might be able to guess one or two.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll tell you straight away. I made a total of 300 million taels of silver."

Gu Gaoxu couldn't bear it anymore and told Lu Yuan directly.

This number was within Lu Yuan's expectations.

Because the annual profit of the factory in Taining City is not as great as that of the factory in Yandu.

But in these three years, I have earned more than one million.

Lu Yuan put most of the money earned by the Taining City factory every year into his own system space and carried it with him.

"Yes, it is indeed a lot." Lu Yuan continued to respond.

Zhao Qiaoer was lying there, listening to their conversation, covering her mouth with her hands, trying not to make any sound.

"Three million taels of silver?"

In the past, the Zhao family could not earn so much money even if they worked day and night to mine spirit stones.

Gu Gaoxu asked: "So much silver can be exchanged for gold.

It would also take several carriages.

Do you need me to transport it to the Imperial City?"

Gu Gaoxu wants to settle the dividends for the past three years with Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was right about the person. If it was someone else, would he still give the money?
Not to mention that this is money earned together, if it were someone with no conscience.

Even if I borrowed money, I wouldn't pay it back.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, “We are not short of money now, and there is no rush for us to get it.

I'll leave it with you for now, this money will be of great use in the future."

Gu Gaoxu agreed:
"Wakari mashita!"

These are a few local words that Gu Gaoxu learned in Japan out of curiosity.

When Lu Yuan heard Gu Gaoxu mumbling something in bird language, he became angry.

His body involuntarily jerked forward, and he said into the phone:

"speak English!"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Gaoxu laughed and said:
"When you rule them in the future, you must learn their language, so that they won't say bad things about you in front of you, and you won't understand them."

Lu Yuan was so focused on talking to Gu Gaoxu that he completely forgot about Zhao Qiaoer.

The violent impact that Lu Yuan had just given hit Zhao Qiaoer right to the heart.

Zhao Qiaoer couldn't help but yelled.

Gu Gaoxu on the other end of the phone clearly heard Zhao Qiaoer's shout.

Gu Gaoxu burst out in surprise: "Oh my god, Brother Lu, what are you doing?"

Lu Yuan hung up the phone directly and threw it aside. Then he picked up the towel on the hanger and stuffed it over.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan wrung the towel in front of Zhao Qiaoer.

Zhao Qiaoer blushed, pulled a blanket over her face, slapped Lu Yuan with her right hand, and cursed:

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault, I'm so ashamed"

Lu Yuan looked at the 1.89-meter-tall Zhao Qiaoer and her shy appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle and said:

"Auntie, you still have times when you feel shy." (End of this chapter)
