Chapter 296 The General Returned

Su Mianyue wanted to say goodbye to the Hu Qihlang family. Although the hu family couldn't bear to let Su Mianyue leave, they wouldn't stop her from going. Perhaps from the first time they met, they knew that Su Mianyue didn't belong here.

The only thing he could do was cry and tell Su Mianyue not to leave. When he grew up and married her, he would forget the sadness of leaving the three adults.

Knowing that he could not repay the kindness of the family, Su Mianyue could only keep the smaller ones and most of the broken silver in the banknotes sealed with brown paper, which was enough to make the hu family a local rich family. It would not be a problem to marry a wife and build a house when she grew up.

Su Mianyue was afraid that there would be too much money left. The hu family would not dare to use it, and he was afraid that it would bring disaster to this small family.

Fortunately, the banknotes that Su Mianyue brought this time were universal in all three countries. Otherwise, it would be useless for Su Mianyue to leave the banknotes to the hu family.

Before noon the next day, Su Mianyue left with a small bundle of food and water prepared by the seventh lady, and set foot on the road of the world with Shangguan Pei again.

In the barracks, Ji Xun sat there with a sullen face. Gu Changqing was sitting in the commander's tent. Mu Tinng had sent him to temporarily replace Shangguan Pei as general. Only when Shangguan Pei returned safely did Gu Changqing return to the capital.

This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Shangguan Pei. Even if an official was needed to temporarily take over the position of general, it should be selected by the army. Could it be that Mu Tinng wanted to withdraw his military power?

Ji Xun's heart was so changeable that he didn't hear what gu changqing was talking about. Suddenly, a cold wind came. Ji Xun subconsciously raised his hand and waved the cup that Gu Changqing had smashed back to him, pouring his heart out.

"How dare you disrespect general gu! It's just a piece of cloth!" The dog that Gu Changqing brought up pointed at Ji Xun and scolded him.

"General gu?" Ji Xun said coldly, pointing to the decree on the table, "Do you know what a temporary substitute is? If you don't understand, go back and read more books. Don't make a fool of yourself here."

"What did you say?" The man pointed at Ji Xun's nose and shouted.

"If you don't understand human language, then find a farmer to communicate with pigs. Don't lose the face of the capital officials here." Then he turned to Gu Changqing and said coldly, "Mr. Gu has been ordered to take over the third army. I, ji yu, who has no official position, will not interfere. But if Mr. Gu wants the tiger amulet and handsome seal, shouldn't he ask General Shangguan for it? I'm just a doghead military advisor. How could I have such a valuable thing?"

Gu Changqing's subordinates called the dog head military advisor Ji Xun, but now Ji Xun used this sentence to stop Gu Changqing's ridiculous idea of reaching his hand into the army. It was a joke that a dog without a tiger symbol and handsome seal could stand firm in the camp, even if there were individual people who supported Gu Changqing. Ji Xun believed that most people would still wait for Shangguan Pei to come back.

Most of these soldiers had been through life and death with Shangguan Pei. Shangguan Pei was the god in their hearts. The more Gu Changqing acted, the angrier he became. It was possible that he was killed by random arrows.

Seeing Ji Xun take a provocative look at himself and leave, Gu Changqing was so angry that he almost bit his teeth. However, Ji Xun's two hands just showed Gu Changqing that it was not easy to get rid of Ji Xun. The million soldiers did not listen to his orders.

The search for Shangguan Pei was still going on in the dark, and Gu Changqing had been in the barracks for more than a month in a blink of an eye. Apart from one or two of the lieutenants who wanted to get close to him, the other lieutenants all looked up at him with their noses up.

This was the martial general, who was straightforward in his work, but the two vice generals who had been courting Gu Changqing were just sweet-talking and took special care of gu changqing in terms of food and drink, while in other matters, they were just laughing and refusing to contribute.

This situation lasted for more than a month, during which the news of Shangguan Pei's disappearance was somehow leaked out. The Hengyuan actually planned to retaliate and recapture the city. Gu Changqing wanted to take this opportunity to make a name for himself, but no matter how he got people to invite a group of deputy generals to discuss the countermeasures, no one came.

Knowing that these deputy generals were actually having a military meeting with Ji Xun, who had no official position, Gu Changqing could no longer bear to go berserk and stormed into Ji Xun's tent with his own guards.

"Someone, throw this intruder out." Ji Xun did not raise his head and ordered, while he was staring intently at the sand table.

All the deputy generals got their orders and stood up to strike, but the sound of the armor rubbing on them made them stop.

Gu Changqing raised the imperial edict in his hand and shouted, "I have the imperial edict in my hand. Now that the army is at the bottom of the city, I have the right to take over one thing in the army. Don't you want to disobey the imperial edict for the sake of a white body?"

Gu Changqing, who was in a rage, did not notice the excited lieutenants looking at him with idiotic eyes, and even the two lieutenants who had befriended him now smiled strangely.

"Hmph, if you know the truth, get out of my way!" Gu Changqing thought he had frightened the deputy generals and was just about to be pleased when he realized that something was wrong. He really liked to squint his eyes at people, or else he would have noticed that everyone looked wrong.

"Since Mr. Gu wants to talk about the imperial edict, you should remember the contents of the imperial edict. If lord gu doesn't remember, you can open it now, lest it will be too embarrassing for a while. Even if the Gu Family has a successor, it can't erase this stain on your army." Ji Xun opened his mouth playfully, and a group of deputy generals burst into laughter. Although he did not say a word, he made Gu Changqing's heart tremble and couldn't figure out what ji xun meant.

"I heard that Mr. Gu was very brave. Back then, when he hid the fact that he was riding a single horse on shangfeng, he had let the small country of marbles submit to the Tianlan and even cede the territory to compensate him. It was because of this that he was promoted to the cabinet. The current situation was not much different from that of the time. Without General Shangguan in charge, if Mr. Gu did such a heroic act again, perhaps he would be able to return to the court and worship the marquis. At least the army would respect Mr. Gu because of this. There's no need for Mr. Gu to carry an imperial edict wherever he goes to let people know why you're in the army." Ji Xun opened his mouth again and slapped gu changqing's face.

Gu Changqing himself knew better than anyone else that the so-called "One man riding a single horse to break into an enemy camp" in those days. Looking at Ji Xun's slightly raised lips, it was obvious that he was mocking himself, and every time he mentioned the incident in those years, someone would question whether it was true or not.

Shangguan Pei's oldest deputy general spat, and the scar on his face became ferocious because of his facial expression. "Bullshit military merit. In the army, if you disobey military orders, you should be dealt with according to military law. If you can win a war in a big way, you have to make that bullshit bow down and submit. It's just a small country with bullets. If you cut some land, it's not as big as a county. What's the use of coming here?"

As soon as the deputy general opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the support of others and flushed Gu Changqing's face. At this time, someone said, "This general hasn't returned in a few days, so the military meeting doesn't know what the rules are?"
