Chapter 184 Nothing Has Never Changed
After all, she is a kind person who is accustomed to kindness. She must still remember the many kindnesses she had shown Shen Guiyan in the past, so there is no doubt that she did it on purpose today.Xu Mengdie breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently. Her preparations for so many years were not in vain.

Fanbang's blatant assassination of the emperor was seen through. As a great dynasty, there was no need to endure it any longer.The emperor immediately decided to send Gu Chaonan to lead an expedition to attack Fanbang.

"Fanbang is a small country, so don't be too nervous." Gu Chaobei looked at Gu Chaonan and said, "Just take a hundred thousand soldiers, guard the border area, and investigate the situation. I will bring reinforcements to Yecheng in person to support, and if Gu Aiqing If you win, I will take you back triumphantly. If you lose, I will give you backup."

Yuwen Changqing gave the emperor a puzzled look, he lived in such a healthy and healthy life in the capital, why did he have to go to the imperial conquest?Just let him or Shen Guiwu take the people there, the emperor is gone, what will happen to the capital?
Shen Guiwu also had the same question in his heart, but looking up at the emperor's firm face, both of them planned to ask in private later.

Gu Chaonan is naturally willing. With Mengdie by his side, he is basically invincible.Fanbang is a small country with weak military strength, so the emperor just gave him a chance to make another military exploit.

"I obey the order." Gu Chaonan complied.

Prime Minister Gu was on the side, although he felt that something was wrong with his high merit.But he is still happy that his son can be promising.Now the Gu family also has one article and one military, and they are evenly matched with the Shen family, which is also a kind of restraint.As long as everyone is in their own places, it shouldn't be difficult to create a prosperous world.

Xu Mengdie sat next to Shen Guiyan, holding a teacup and said: "Fanbang's actions today, the emperor will definitely send troops."

Shen Guiyan nodded: "If you send troops, you may have to trouble General Gu again."

The smile on the corner of Xu Mengdie's mouth was a little stiff, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Her prophetic ability has disappeared, and the days have passed when she died in her last life. That is to say, she can no longer help her husband predict the future events. If she marches and fights, she has to take care of herself.

Fanbang... This time the emperor did not die, and Fanbang became passive. The agreement she reached with them might have to change.If Gu Chaonan fights against Fanbang, maybe things will turn around.

"Niang Niang, the other side of the imperial study room is scattered, Madam Gu, do you want to go there first?" Bao Shan came in and reported.

Both Shen Guiyan and Xu Mengdie got up, Xu Mengdie saluted and said: "The concubine will go first."

"En." Shen Guiyan nodded, seeing Xu Mengdie go far away, and then ordered Baoshan: "Cook some soup, I will send it to the imperial study later."

"Yes."

Gu Chaonan always took Xu Mengdie with him when he went to the battlefield. The two were deeply in love with each other. Gu Chaonan didn't marry any other concubines. From the beginning to the end, there was only Xu Mengdie alone.Master Zhou couldn't help but praised, saying: "Under the sword, life and death are the same, it can be regarded as true love."

Shen Guiyan was also a little envious.

When he was carrying the soup to the imperial study, Gu Chaobei was propping his chin, pointing at the map on the table in a daze.

"At the queen mother's side, the concubine has sent someone to deliver the shock soup, and the repair of the palace has also been arranged. This part belongs to your majesty."

Reaching out to put the soup on the table, Gu Chaobei came back to his senses, looked at her and said with a smile, "Yan'er, there is going to be a war again."

"Yeah." As expected, Tianchao is like an adult, he has dominated this world for so many years, now a little kid kicked him, it would be abnormal if he didn't go out and beat him up.

"I have already made arrangements. When General Gu's [-] troops arrive at the border, I will personally go to Yecheng to serve as reinforcements." The emperor said softly.

Yecheng?Shen Guiyan was taken aback, and looked in the direction he was pointing. Yecheng was to the west of Tianchao, and it would probably take less than half a year to go back and forth to the capital, plus the marching time.

"Why did the emperor go in person?" Shen Guiyan frowned: "What about the capital?"

"There are Queen Mother, Prime Minister Gu, General Yuwen, and your second elder brother in the capital." Gu Chaobei said with a smile, "I have already made a plan. I will hand over the management of the government to Prime Minister Gu, the Queen Mother to assist me, and the guarding of the capital. It's in the hands of General Yuwen and your second brother. With them around, I won't have any problems leaving the capital for a year."

But... Shen Guiyan just wanted to refute, but was suddenly taken aback.

The emperor didn't count her in, so what should she do?

"The empress will accompany me on the expedition." The emperor pulled her over, hugged her gently, and said, "When you go to Yecheng, you can just pass by the Xishan Mountain you mentioned, so you can go to seek medical treatment for the emperor yourself, and your wish will be fulfilled. It just so happens that I can travel around the world's mountains and rivers with me."

Dare he not go out to fight, but to play?Shen Guiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although she wanted to go, she couldn't help worrying. Is such an arrangement really okay?

The [-] army was divided into nine groups, and it was estimated that it would take half a year to reach the border. The border guards had already declared war on Fanbang, and the people of Fanbang were not allowed to cross the border. If they saw Fanbang in the territory, they were all arrested and put in prison.

The yellow-haired ambassador was beheaded for murdering the monarch. His mouth was gagged when he was beheaded. He wanted to shout something, but no one could understand it.After blood spattered three feet of white sails, the army set off.

Shen Guiyan took the place of the emperor to see him off. Feng was driving on the road, and inadvertently saw Xu Zhuangzhou who was leading a group of young children to buy sugar by the side of the road in the distance.

Ever since she came back from persuading the princes with Master Zhou, Shen Guiyan felt that Xu Zhuangzhou had made some contributions, so she planned to find an official position for him.Unexpectedly, this person was not interested in officialdom, so he continued to help in the capital school.

"Stop." Shen Guiyan yelled.

At the Fengche shop, the common people avoided, Xu Zhuangzhou saw this from a distance, and wanted to turn around, so he took the children to avoid it.Unexpectedly, Bao Shan, the maid of honor next to the empress, came over and said, "Mr. Xu, the empress is here to invite you."

Xu Zhuangzhou was a little dazed, scratched his head, and asked the eldest of the children to bring the others back to the school, then followed the treasure fan to the front of the phoenix chariot.

"Caomin pays homage to the empress."

"Excuse me." Shen Guiyan lifted the curtain on one side, looked at him and said, "General Gu is going out today, and your sister will also accompany you. Why don't you go and see?"

Xu Zhuangzhou rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said honestly: "There is nothing interesting, just to say a few words to boost morale according to the scene. It is not interesting to see too much. There are many new children here in the school. Grand Master Zhou is not here. The grassroots should Go help."

Shen Guiyan didn't understand that people nowadays all pursue fame and fortune, and become officials in the court.Xu Zhuangzhou is Xu Mengdie's younger brother. Judging from his relationship, it is not difficult to make it to the top, but he has no such intentions.

She still remembered that a long time ago, it was Xu Zhuangzhou who rescued her from the East Courtyard of the Gu Mansion, and when she woke up, she bumped into him fiercely.

Now she is a noble queen, Xu Mengdie has changed from a concubine of the Gu family to a high-ranking marshal's wife, and even Mrs. Zhou has the false name of a grand master.

Only Xu Zhuangzhou, still the same as before, has not changed at all, dressed in common clothes, with clear eyebrows.

Shen Guiyan sighed suddenly, and said, "It would be great if people could always maintain their previous hearts."

Xu Zhuangzhou gave her a strange look: "A person can't stay the same for a long time. It's rare to stick to his original insistence. Things that stay the same won't be liked for a long time."

Shen Guiyan was taken aback for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Xu Zhuangzhou cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, let's go first, it's getting late."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and saluted, turned around and chased after the group of children.

"It's really different." Shen Guiyan looked at his back, shook her head with a smile, put down the curtain, and let Feng Che go on.

Born with the same child, why is Xu Zhuangzhou so free and easy, but Mengdie seems to have walked at the wrong fork in the road, but he still refuses to turn back.

When the army went out to fight, Xu Mengdie, dressed in white soft armor, stood behind Gu Chaonan on horseback.Gu Chaonan was dressed in a general's armor and looked majestic. After drinking the strong wine and reciting the words of loyalty to the emperor, he led his soldiers to the battle.Shen Guiyan was standing on the tower, and the palace man next to him passed something up for her.

"Mrs. Gu heard that the empress will go west, so she sent a road map to the west mountain." The palace servant said respectfully.

Shen Guiyan took it and read it. First, it was a letter from Xu Mengdie, which said that the genius doctor on the Western Mountains was on a tour to the south, so he specially sent the road map. If the empress has a chance to go, she can take the prince to visit the miracle doctor's residence.

The pictures were carefully drawn, and the words of the letter were also true, Shen Guiyan put it away with a smile: "I will definitely go."

On the way back to the palace, just as he was going to go to the imperial city from Zhengde Street, the car stopped halfway.Baoshan hurried over and said, "Madam, let's go another way!"

"Why?" Shen Guiyan was curious. Is there anyone in this capital who dares to stop Feng?

"It is said that there is a murder case ahead. To avoid collision, let's go in another way." Baoshan frowned.

murder?Shen Guiyan frowned: "What's going on?"

Knowing that his master would meddle in this matter, Baoshan sighed, and said helplessly: "I don't know whose horse has gone berserk, trampled a child to death, and is making a fuss right now."

As he said that, the noise from the front came from far away: "What's wrong with me trampling him to death? You can see clearly with your dog's eyes wide open. This is a BMW bestowed by the emperor. I haven't asked you to pay me for being shocked." loss."

"Horses are more valuable than people?" The surrounding people formed a circle, not intending to let the man go, and accused them one after another: "You pay for your life, you still want to run?"

The man's voice was a little softer, probably because he knew the power of the New Deal, but he still said unwillingly: "I'm from the Shen residence, a loyal confidant of the loyal king. When the emperor sees the loyal king, he has to call old father-in-law. What are you guys?" ? Go to the Yamen and sue me if you have the ability!"

The arrogance of the arrogance made Shen Guiyan snort coldly when he heard it.

After getting off the phoenix chariot, the guards at the front went to clear the way, and Shen Guiyan, dressed in a phoenix robe, walked directly to the middle of the noisy crowd ahead.

The little child is bloody and bloody, and the BMW with blood on its hooves is very majestic.
