Chapter 379 Bad News
After Zheng Deli realized what was happening, he wanted to beat up Luo Yuan, but Luo Yuan was also very fast and ran away without a trace.
So, the whole training ground was filled with Zheng Deli's voice scolding Luo Yuan, and Wei Lun and Ni Yang, who were patrolling the camp, shook their heads and said after hearing it.
"Luo Yuan is a troublesome kid. He has to tease Old Zheng every day."
"The general is also a calm person. Why is Luo Yuan still so annoying after being with the general for many years?"
"I think it's because he doesn't have a wife. If he gets a strict teacher, or a strict teacher, I'm afraid that training him for three months will be better than our three years of hard training."
As soon as Wei Lun said this, Ni Yang also laughed.
Life in the military camp is boring, after all, there is nothing to do except training soldiers and learning various battle formations. But it is also interesting. With hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, there is nothing to see!
Especially in the army, there are a lot of lively people like Luo Yuan, so the days pass quickly.
But they didn't know that the simple days they spent here would soon disappear with the death of Mrs. Gu.
The prince and Prime Minister Guo came to the commander's tent.
Both of them looked unhappy, especially Prime Minister Guo. You can see that his eyes are still red, and his body is also very dusty. It can be seen that he sent the news immediately after receiving it, and didn't want to rely on others.
When Gu Shaoyu heard the news, his first reaction was not to believe it.
But the prince and Prime Minister Guo were not crazy, and they would use such news to deceive people, so it only took a moment to go from disbelief to belief, and then to disbelief.
Then she collapsed and sat on the ground, which made people feel pitiful. Seeing this, the prince sighed and said.
"Shaoyu, if you can't help it, just cry a few times. This palace and grandfather will go out. You are holding it back like this, which makes us worried."
The prince had good intentions, but sometimes he couldn't cry when he was extremely distressed. He was depressed, as if he had been hit by a slap in the face.
When Madam Gu was around, she was the pillar of support in Gu Shaoyu's heart!
For so many years, he had been turning around to take care of her, but he didn't expect that the son wanted to take care of his parents but they were gone, and it would fall on his head. When he left, his grandmother was still angry, but now, they are separated forever?
He didn't know how to express the powerlessness and sadness in his heart, so he could only remain silent, and his eyes became red.
By the time Prime Minister Guo and the Crown Prince saw him, there was already a haze in front of him, but he didn't cry out in pain. Such silent tears really made people sigh.
After a long while, Gu Shaoyu calmed down. After standing up, his face and expression had calmed down. Then he said to the two people in front of him.
"Your Highness, Prime Minister Guo, my grandmother passed away suddenly. I must go back to Jinling City to attend the funeral. I don't know when I can come back. My ancestors passed away. According to the rules, I have to mourn for a year. The affairs of the court are easy to handle. I am afraid that the Fourth Prince and his party will know that I am leaving, and I am afraid they will be ready to move."
His words are exactly what the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Guo are worried about.
Although the guards of the Eastern Palace are carefully selected, being able to protect the Eastern Palace does not mean that they can protect all the forces that have surrendered to the Eastern Palace. Apart from anything else, a few thousand guards of the Crown Prince cannot stop tens of thousands of iron hooves.
Therefore, the three of them had to put aside the death of Madam Gu and discuss countermeasures before leaving.
"This time when I go back, I will take 5,000 with me, as well as Luo Yuan and Ni Yang. The rest can be led by Zheng Deli and Wei Lun, and they will obey orders."
"The twelve deputy generals in the Tiger Guard Army are all available. With the prince's edict, it is not a problem to mobilize 50,000. During the time I am in Jinling City, they will also protect the peace of Sui'an City. It's just that the two-hour journey is a bit far. If something really happens, I'm afraid that distant water can't save the nearby fire, so..."
Before he finished speaking, Prime Minister Guo understood, looking at Gu Shaoyu and said with admiration.
"I understand what Shaoyu means. If there is really something, then we will just abandon Sui'an City and take the Tiger Guard Army south."
The prince is not stupid. If he still doesn't understand after hearing this, the regent for so many years is fake, so he opened his mouth and said.
"But Sui'an City is the capital of our Daxing. If we give it up, won't they benefit from it?"
"Your Highness, you don't know that Sui'an City was just a remote place back then. If it weren't for Emperor Kaizong's desire to intimidate those scattered soldiers in the northern border, he would not have settled here. Jinling City is our root. It is reasonable for us to turn back."
"And with Shaoyu making arrangements there, we can go there more smoothly."
Minister Guo said passionately, because his ancestors were originally from Jinling City, so it was okay to go back.
But the prince has grown up in Sui'an City since he could remember, so it is naturally difficult to give up here. In the end, it was Gu Shaoyu who spoke up.
"Your Highness and Minister Guo, don't think too much. It may not be like this. It's just a way. A year is not a long time, and we don't necessarily have to go that far! If it is legitimate, no one will choose the underworld path, right?"
He was not in Sui'an City for most of the year, but the fourth prince was very prominent. With the support of Wei Taiwei's family, he now seems to have arranged many people in the court.
Therefore, Gu Shaoyu made these arrangements.
His words made the prince feel relieved, and then he said to Gu Shaoyu.
"Shaoyu's arrangements are very appropriate. Five thousand is too few. I will report to my father and order him to send 50,000 to Jinling City. The reason is that these Tiger Guards need to learn the skills of the navy. It's only one year, and the court situation will not change much."
Although he didn't want to leave, he couldn't ignore the worries of Guo Xiang and Gu Shaoyu, so he decided to prepare for both.
Guo Xiang was also very relieved after hearing the prince's arrangements, so he said to the prince.
"It's not necessarily legitimate to learn the skills of the navy. It's better to tell His Majesty that we are investigating the tax evasion of sea and waterway shipping. Once His Majesty agrees, we can use this excuse of learning the skills of the navy to announce it to the public. In this way, even if someone wants to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty in the future, we will have a way out."
