"good."

Uncle Fu understood and stepped back.

Gu Yuan hadn't visited Ning Que since he arrived in Linzi. As the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition, Ning Que was undoubtedly Gu Yuan's superior. But Gu Yuan actually had military authority, commanding the fleet entrusted to him by the King of Qi. By then, he would have at least 100,000 men under his command!

Therefore, Gu Yuan was not really afraid of him.

A moment later the door was pushed open.

Gu Yuan walked into the study with a stern face.

He suppressed his anger and raised his hand.

"Meet the prince."

"No need to be polite." Ning Que slowly put down his teacup and said calmly, "General Gu, why is he coming to my palace instead of training with the fleet?"

"I just want to ask Your Majesty, are you still going to march east?"

"Of course."

"If that's the case, why is there no one?" Gu Yuan stared. "The Prince of Qi's fleet has arrived in Linzi, and I've been training the troops these past two days. But the prince hasn't given me any troops. How can we fight? With so many fleets training, they must be paid, right?"

Ning Que narrowed his eyes slightly.

Looking at Gu Yuan.

I knew this guy wouldn't say anything good.

"Gu Yuan, you don't have to pretend in front of this king."

"I have my own plan for how to conquer Goguryeo."

"Just train your soldiers well and don't worry about anything else."

"As for the military pay?"

"Hehe, do you think I'm a fool?" Ning Que almost laughed out loud. "Back then, Tian Zhongxun said he would provide money and manpower for the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo. So, are you going back on your word now?"

"You mean you won't pay?"

"Whoever has the soldiers pays for it."

Ning Que won't be fooled.

Let him pay for Tian Zhongxun's soldiers?

Do you think he's a fool?!
