Chapter 124 Reviewing the Troops
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyue thought of what happened not long ago when Gu Chenxuan came to her and asked her to go back to the fiefdom with Long Shang. Could it be that he had defected to Long Fu?
She frowned slightly.
Not to mention her, even if Long Shang was here, he couldn't let Emperor Tianqi release the rebels at will. But Gu Shuo asked him to ask the emperor for mercy?
How many heads would she have to use to beg the emperor, unless she used the golden medal of immunity from death that she got last time.
She looked at Gu Shuo, and Gu Shuo looked away guiltily. Gu Lingyue knew that this was what he was planning.
She didn't know why Gu Shuo wasn't implicated in Gu Chenxuan's accident, but she wasn't interested in that. "Okay, I get it. I'll find a way."
If for no other reason, just because he came to let her leave before Long Fu rebelled, she would not let anything happen to him.
Gu Shuo finally felt relieved after hearing this.
He didn't want to stay here any longer, fearing that he would run into the Tang family and be scolded, so he said goodbye and left.
Gu Lingyue looked at Gu Shuo's back as he left and found that he looked much older and his back was hunched. Perhaps he had not been doing well recently.
He brought this upon himself.
After Gu Lingyue entered the mansion, she called Wang An over, handed the golden medal of immunity from death to Wang An, and asked him to use it to rescue Gu Chenxuan. She then went back to Biboxuan, where she used to live, to sleep.
After Prince Yi's rebellion came to an end, Emperor Tianqi appointed Chang Jinnuo as the deputy commander of the imperial guards, and the Tang brothers were promoted one level. Gu Lingyue also received a lot of rewards, but it was a pity that she didn't see them.
After dark, she drove out of Prince Jing's Mansion and left the capital with Tang Zhenhong, Tang Wenle and the Yunshu sisters.
This caused quite a stir on the way to the city gate.
And at this time in Youzhou.
Tang Minghan looked at Long Shang, who was sitting there with a worried look on his face, and said, "I don't know when the emperor will send the imperial physician. Many soldiers were bitten today, and there is not much food in the city. If this continues, even without the enemy attacking, all our soldiers will become corpse soldiers of Western Shu."
Long Shang still didn't speak, he was already in a trance at this time.
Yue'er must have received the news by now. I wonder if she has a way to cure these people's poison?
I have been out for more than a month. Does she miss me?
Thinking of this, he remembered the affection between the two before leaving, and also thought of the unhappy expression in Gu Lingyue's last letter. He smiled helplessly.
It was also his fault. He bullied her so badly that she didn't hear what she said clearly.
At this moment, a soldier outside said, "General."
"Come in." Tang Minghan said.
A soldier came in and said, "Your Majesty, General, the enemy is shouting at the city gate and demands to see Your Majesty."
"Why do we need to see the prince? Can they see the prince whenever they want?" Tang Minghan said unhappily.
The soldier lowered his head when he heard this. "That person said that if she couldn't see the prince, she would order an attack on the city."
Tang Minghan snorted coldly upon hearing this, "Then let them attack. This general wants to see if they can break in!"
Before the soldiers left, Long Shang suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
"Your Highness!" Tang Minghan looked at Long Shang disapprovingly and said, "You can't go. What if the enemy has a conspiracy?"
"Don't worry, I'm just going to the city wall to take a look."
After saying that, Long Shang walked out of the room and Tang Minghan quickly followed.
After climbing up the city wall, Long Shang saw two horses not far from the tower. Long Shang had seen the people on the horses before. They were the princess of Western Shu and her maid who had escaped from Youzhou. There was a group of corpse soldiers following them.
At this time, the maidservant was shouting, "Let your prince come out, otherwise we will order an attack on the city now."
Long Shang narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and said to the general beside him: "Bring the bow here."
Upon hearing this, the general quickly took the bow and arrow from a soldier and handed it to Long Shang.
Long Shang took the bow and arrow, pulled the string, put the arrow on and aimed.
With a "whoosh", the sharp arrow shot towards the Princess of Western Shu.
The Princess of Western Shu was frightened when she saw this and dodged in a hurry, but her face was still scratched. She glared at Long Shang angrily, but found that Long Shang ignored her and aimed directly at her maid.
The maidservant had no time to dodge before a sharp arrow pierced her throat and she fell off her horse without a sound.
"You—" She pointed at Long Shang angrily and asked, "Who are you?"
Long Shang glanced at her indifferently and said in a calm voice, "Don't you want to see the king?"
Princess Xishu looked at Long Shang on the city wall with inquiring eyes, "Are you Prince Jing? Are you really okay?"
Long Shang snorted coldly and did not answer.
The Princess of Western Shu looked at the body of her maidservant lying on the ground and was so angry that she wanted to take out her flute and order the corpse soldiers she brought with her to attack the city, but was stopped by the Crown Prince of Western Shu.
"Royal brother, why are you stopping me? I want to avenge my maid!" Princess Xishu asked angrily.
"Because there's no need." The Prince of Western Shu cast a cold glance at the corpses on the ground, then said, "We've besieged them for so many days, and I think they don't have much food or grass left in the city.
If you really want to kill them, just cut off their food supply, and it won't be long before the entire city will become our zombie soldiers in our attack on Apocalypse."
The reason why he stopped his imperial sister was that their corpse soldiers were fine fighting on the ground, but if they were to attack the city, they would not climb ladders or scale the city walls, so it would be better to trap them to death.
Upon hearing this, the Princess of Western Shu glanced coldly at the city wall, then returned to the camp with the corpse soldiers and the Prince of Western Shu.
A general looked at the departing Western Shu people and asked in confusion, "Weren't they attacking the city? Why are they just leaving like that?"
Long Shang went down the city wall without saying a word. Tang Minghan, on the other hand, instructed the soldiers guarding the city not to be careless, then he went down the city wall and caught up with Long Shang.
"Your Highness, they are trying to trap us to death!"
Long Shang stopped and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll be away for a few days, so I'll have to trouble you, uncle, to look after this place for the time being."
"Okay." Tang Minghan agreed without asking Long Shang what he was going to do.
Originally, it was the Tang family's responsibility to defend Youzhou, and he had no choice but to do it.
At the same time, Gu Lingyue drove his car and caught up with the army led by Tang Wenqing and his brothers.
When Gu Lingyue drove the G-Class past the team, the soldiers outside turned their heads to look at them. Some of them even stopped and some stepped on the heels of the people in front of them.
For a moment, the team became a little confused.
Gu Lingyue curled her lips. She had not expected such a situation.
Tang Zhenhong and others also looked outside.
"These bastards are so ignorant that they can throw their formation off course over such a small matter."
Although he said that, the corners of his mouth were always raised and his face was full of joy. It was obvious that he was very happy.
Gu Lingyue simply lowered the glass for them.
Since Tang Zhenhong was in the co-pilot seat and the team was on Gu Lingyue's left, Tang Zhenhong kept looking towards Gu Lingyue with a smug expression on his face.
Gu Lingyue knew that her grandfather just wanted to show off, so she simply opened the skylight for him.
"Grandpa, you can stand up now and look outside, and by the way, you can review your troops." Gu Lingyue said with a smile.
At this time, Tang Zhenhong was already extremely excited.
In the past, he always rode a horse when inspecting the troops. Today, he wanted to show those bastards that this was a car that even the emperor had never ridden.
Tang Zhenhong stood up straight, stretched his upper body out, and shouted at the soldiers, "What are you making so much noise about? Shut up!"
Tang Zhenhong's voice was so loud and deafening that it frightened the soldiers who were just talking and made them shut up immediately.
When they saw that it was their old general, they were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
Tang Zhenhong laughed, turned around and sat back, looking at Gu Lingyue and said, "Girl, grandpa is really benefiting from you."
Tang Wenle rolled his eyes and muttered, "Look how cocky you are."
He was so happy already. If he knew that he had been to Yue'er's secret space, would he jump up in anger? Unfortunately, he couldn't tell her.
At this time, their car had already driven up to the side of Tang Wenqing and his three brothers.
The horses that Tang Wenqing and his companions were riding were startled and started to get agitated. Fortunately, the brothers were all good horsemen and they quickly stopped the agitation.
