"What? You said that Daxing's army attacked the border at night? Wang Baihu grabbed the soldier by the collar, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes! The news just came that the reinforcements are heading to Yuhe Pass at this time, and even Yumen Pass has sent troops to support! ”

Wang Baihu panicked in his heart, he looked at Gu Chengyu, who also had surprise on his face, and suddenly a year appeared in his heart, and this time he finally saw a different look on Lord Gu's face.

"What's the truth? DID YOU KNOW? Gu Chengyu thought of Yin Kun, who was still in Yuheguan, and was also a little flustered in his heart.

"I didn't explain it in detail, that's all I heard!"

"General Yuan is injured, Wujun Mansion is now unmanned, and you are here to guard. In a hurry, the official will discuss with General Yuan and leave the token in your custody for the time being. ”

After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he instructed Ming Mo again: "Now pack up your things, let's go to the border!" ”

"My lord, I have to go to Yuhe Pass as a lowly officer!" Wang Baihu hurriedly stepped forward to stop Gu Chengyu from leaving, he couldn't stay here to guard.

"Don't worry, follow the plan drawn up by the previous officer, and the enemy army will not attack again in the near future." Gu Chengyu pushed Wang Baihu away and was about to go down to the city tower.

"My lord, you must go to the border pass, let's go together!" Wang Baihu had an anxious look on his face, and his eyes were full of pleading as he looked at Gu Chengyu.

"Lord Gu, Lord Wang's father is General Wang Changhe, the deputy general of Zhenshou Yuhe Guan." The soldier stepped forward and explained softly.

Gu Chengyu turned to look at Wang Baihu's reddish eyes, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Since you are an official of the imperial court, you understand that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve. ”

Wang Baihu's tears flowed down instantly, "My father was injured last time against the enemy, and although he has recovered now, he still has a dark illness. If even General Huaiyuan was attacked at night, then the father ......"

Wang Baihu couldn't cry anymore when he said this, he was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy after all! All his martial arts were taught by his father, for him, his father was a mountain, and he was the pillar of the family, and his father could not fall.

"Wang Baihu, General Yuan has not recovered from his serious injuries, and he really can't afford this burden. Now that the border pass is too busy to take care of itself, it is impossible to send people to reinforce it, if you and I are both gone, then what should this Wujun Mansion do? ”

"This official also has an entourage, if he finds it, let him go to Yuhe Guan to find this official!"

"Wouldn't it be better for Lord Gu to sit in Wujun Mansion? The humble position is only a hundred households, how can they take on this great responsibility? "Wang Baihu is still not dead, where does he still have the heart to stay in Wujun Mansion?

Gu Chengyu didn't reply to Wang Baihu's words, his body turned, and he lifted his internal force, and flew down the city tower. The dark cloak fell in the red firelight, and by the time the people on the castle tower reacted, the slender figure had already fallen to the ground.

Wang Baihu was stunned by Gu Chengyu's kung fu, and he opened his mouth wide to watch the dark figure fly away into the distance.

"I didn't expect Lord Gu's martial arts to be so strong? It's impressive! The soldier just now looked shocked, and the action of flying down from the city tower was really handsome.

"If you want to study and take the imperial examination, you also have to practice martial arts. I heard that this Gu Da is only sixteen years old, and he is really amazing! ”

Wang Baihu glanced at the admiring soldiers, how could he not know that there were still readers who could chew words among these **?

However, he was still relieved in the end, since Master Gu's martial arts were so strong, it was the best choice for him to go to the border. But he is still worried about his father in his heart, but he has a heavy responsibility on his body, and he is really helpless!

"I went to explain a few words to General Yuan, and then those salutes and coachmen and found a few soldiers to escort them to Yuhe Pass. Let's take only two clothes and ride to the border! ”

Gu Chengyu dropped his words and turned around and went to Yuan Bin's house.

For Wang Baihu, he could only say sorry. Wang Baihu has people to protect, and he happens to have them. He couldn't watch his senior brother put himself in danger, he had to go to the border as soon as possible.

......

"Send this decree to the border, hurry up and do not delay! I will send a conductor to accompany you! The emperor said to De'an, who was kneeling on the ground.

De'an immediately replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old slave will definitely bring the holy decree to the border as soon as possible!" ”

Pang Chugong stood ten steps away from the two of them, and at this moment he only felt a little embarrassed.

In the final analysis, the current head of the palace is still De'an. Because De'an was the person who served the emperor when he was alive, if the emperor treated him too harshly, there would inevitably be gossip.

And although he is subordinate to De'an, he is now reused by the emperor.

In fact, according to the old rules, De'an is generally just hanging on the grade, and he should have unloaded his heavy responsibilities a long time ago, and was allowed to leave the palace, or find a side hall in the palace to retire.

But the emperor handed over the task of going to the border to read the holy decree to De'an, which is really intriguing!

"Pack up and go!" Now I don't know what the situation is at the border gate, and the emperor is anxious, but he also knows that it will take a few days for the news to come.

"Yes! The old slave retired first! De'an took the decree from Pang Chu's hand, and then got up tremblingly and retreated.

Dean looked at the black boots in front of him, and only felt a sour feeling in his heart.

It has always been him who has been standing in the imperial study before, when the first emperor was still there, those chamberlains and palace maids saw him, which one was not respectful and greeted with a smile?

Now that things are wrong, and the glory of the past is gone, how can he feel good in his heart? In just one month, he tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection. The person has not left, but the tea is cold.

The first emperor's voice and smile appeared in his mind, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little sour. has been together for many years, and there is always some affection.

A palace maid approached him, and he was busy collecting his mood, straightening his waist and putting on a proud posture.

"The slave has seen Manager Chen!" The palace maid bent her knees slightly, which was counted as a salute.

De'an has seen this palace maid, who should be a second-class girl next to a side concubine in the prince's mansion. However, the other party's attitude of saluting was so perfunctory, which made him very dissatisfied.

Dean didn't make senseless calculations with this palace maid, after all, this time is different from the past. He went straight down the steps, and as he went, he heard the palace maid snort coldly behind him, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He didn't hear it clearly, but he could guess that it must not be something to hear. Clenching the holy decree in his hand, De'an's eyes showed determination. Go to the border? Just what he wants!

"Your Majesty! Would you like to take a break? Pang Chu saw that the emperor's face seemed to be a little pale, and he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Today, because of the state funeral, the emperor didn't rest much at all. What's more, I have to deal with the twists and turns that have been piled up by the imperial court before, and I have been sleeping for three consecutive days, and I only sleep for two or three hours a day, how can I afford it?

The emperor suddenly felt a little stuffy in his chest and a little itchy in his throat. He coughed violently, but as soon as he coughed out, he was out of control, and coughed several times in a row, as if something was going to crawl up his throat.
