Chapter 1700 Imperial Edict

After being able to communicate smoothly with the west, the preparations for the Great Zhou were much easier.

Troops of soldiers and food were sent to the west. Except for the young Qilang and Balang, all the other six grandsons of the Peng family were sent here.

General Peng, General Peng San and General Peng Si were stationed in Kuncheng.

The emperor also relied on the 800-li express to get the news here in time. After the peace in the capital, the emperor became ambitious. He was bound to open up the road to the west. He also wanted to have the land of his Great Zhou west of the desert.

Therefore, the emperor fully supported the young generals of the Peng family and let everyone work hard. First, finish the enemy. He would arrange officials with good words to assist in the land negotiation.

Who is the good negotiator?

The emperor would naturally not forget Gu Shouxin.

In early December, Gu Shouxin received an imperial edict, asking him to prepare after the first month of the year, and set off to the west to bring back his precious daughter and negotiate more territory.

As for the position of Kunzhou prefect, let Qianliangduo take charge of the overall situation.

Gu Shouxin took the imperial edict to find Cai Xiaolian.

"Go, although Nian Nian said that our Xinxin has good luck, I am worried if I haven't seen her for a day. The child has been in the west for more than a year. I don't know how much taller she has grown, or whether she has lost weight. Alas!" Cai Xiaolian did not stop him at all.

"Madam, you don't want to keep her at all? In your heart, your daughter is really more important than your husband!" Gu Shouxin looked aggrieved.

"You know it and you still say it out loud?" Cai Xiaolian rolled her eyes at him, "Gu Shouxin, don't force me to quarrel with you! Who said to protect Xinxin well? When you knew that she might be captured by Langge Country, you should have gone to save her. Did you go?"

"Lu Zheng said so too." Gu Shouxin was at a loss for words and brought up Lu Zheng.

"Yes, Lu Zheng said so. He went there too! He crossed the snow-capped mountains, sneaked into the enemy country alone, and then crossed the desert he had never set foot on. Facing all kinds of unknown dangers, he found the person he wanted to protect." Cai Xiaolian said with disdain.

"I won't tell you anymore! You are like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more you look at her, the more you like her!" Gu Shouxin said angrily.

"Hahaha, that's right. The mother-in-law naturally likes her son-in-law the more she looks at him. I heard that the father-in-law doesn't like his son-in-law in every way!" Cai Xiaolian laughed.

"Dad, Mom, which son-in-law are you talking about? The future second brother-in-law or the third brother-in-law?" At this time, a little guy suddenly popped his head out of the door and asked with big eyes blinking.

This is Gu Xiaoba, who is more than two years old, speaks clearly, and is played by Gu Ren all day.

"Who taught you to eavesdrop outside the door?" Gu Shouxin's face sank and looked at his son.

Gu Xiaoba held the door sill and tried to cross it carefully, but his legs were too short and he fell down all of a sudden.

He spoke clearly, but his arms and legs were still quite normal.

It was winter, and he was wearing so many clothes. It took a lot of effort for the kid to get up, and then he ran to Gu Shouxin with his short legs, hugged his legs, and looked up: "Fifth sister and sixth brother said that third sister loved to do this when she was a child. I am the third sister's younger brother, so I have to eavesdrop too!"

Gu Shouxin: "..."

Cai Xiaolian couldn't help laughing and picked up her son: "Don't listen to your fifth sister and sixth brother's nonsense. Your third sister was young and short before, and others couldn't see her standing there, so they thought she was eavesdropping!"

Gu Xiaoba tilted his head: "Mom, it's because I'm young and short too."
