Zhao Chengmo first scooped him a bowl of hot soup, and Gu Tianhua asked someone to bring in the freshly roasted meat from outside.

After a while, a man came with a plate full of meat and placed it in front of him.

Gu Lingze couldn't help but look up at the man. How could someone from the military camp not even be able to hold a plate steadily?

It would have been fine if he didn't look up, but as soon as he looked up, he scared the man and the cup on the table fell to the ground with a bang.

The man bowed and apologized repeatedly with a look of despair, then ran out without looking back.

Gu Lingze: ???

"Do I look so scary? Why does he look like he's seen a ghost?"

Zhao Chengmo picked up a piece of barbecue and put it on his plate, then raised the corners of his lips and shook his head.

When Gu Feirui heard what he said, he laughed so hard that he almost slipped off his chair.

Gu Lingze looked over with a puzzled look on his face. What was wrong with his second brother this time?

However, Gu Feirui usually has a low sense of humor, so he just took it as a matter of course, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

After laughing for a long time, Gu Feirui held his stomach and sat up, "Lingze, he doesn't think you are a ghost, he thinks you are a god!"

It turned out that they stayed behind to clean up the battlefield during the day, and those Qianhan soldiers who were bewitched by the Mirage Pearl were shouting "Lei, Xian" after they woke up.

When they found one that could express itself clearly, what came out of their mouths surprised everyone.

The man said that Gu Lingze first conjured up dozens of fire dragons that emerged from the ground and blew the vanguard troops directly into the sky.

Then he summoned thunder, lightning and strong winds, and in an instant the sky and the earth lost their color.

When they thought they were doomed, the most amazing scene happened.

Their family members and loved ones, whom they valued most in their hearts, floated down from the red clouds in the sky and told them that they must save their lives. Their families were looking forward to their return and reunion.

No wonder even after the Qianhan Army regained consciousness, they were all depressed and unwilling to take up arms again.

After all, wars are weapons of the rulers. Which of these ordinary soldiers is really willing to fight?

These rumors quickly spread in the military camp, and all the soldiers of Qianyuan believed them without a doubt. If he didn't have supernatural powers, how could he defeat 250,000 enemy troops by himself?

When Gu Feirui was saying this, everyone in the tent except Zhao Chengmo and the Gu family looked at him intently, their eyes full of admiration.

The resistance in my heart before has now disappeared into thin air.

Gu Lingze opened his mouth but didn't know where to start. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably think that being able to call the wind and rain was something magical.

Not to mention that this is ancient times, and people are already full of awe for such mysterious things.

At this time, Gu Tianhua raised the wine glass in his hand and pointed it towards the two people, "Lingze, Chengmo, your father would like to thank you on behalf of the Qianyuan soldiers for this battle in the northern border!"

After Qianyuan won a great victory, they counted the soldiers and the number of casualties reported by each unit made these generals almost cry for joy.

Everybody thought it was a losing battle, but in the end, not only was it a victory, it was a great victory. Among the 250,000-man army, there were only a few thousand casualties, and most of them were wounded.

If this had happened in the past, I wouldn't even have dared to dream about it.

If it weren't for Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo's Black Cloth Army, the people here would have probably died on the battlefield by now, and the people in this northern border town would definitely be living in dire straits.

Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo also stood up with their glasses, clinked their glasses with Gu Tianhua from a distance, and then the three of them drank it all in one gulp.

"We would also like to offer a toast to Master Gu and Commander Zhao."

Ye Zhixue bravely stood up, and the other deputy generals and six guards also raised their wine glasses, looking very excited.

Gu Lingze wanted to explain, but he didn't want to spoil everyone's fun in this situation, so he decided to drink the glass of wine first.

After everyone sat down, Gu Lingze looked at them and said, "In fact, I am not a deity at all. You must not call me a deity master in the future."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. "I also get hungry and thirsty, and I am afraid of cold and heat, just like you."

The others looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

Gu Lingze smiled helplessly, "I have been learning esoteric arts since I was young, and I also know a little bit about the formations of Qimen Dunjia, so those techniques of calling the wind and rain and floating in the air are just..."

He looked across at a group of open-mouthed wooden sculptures and decided to forgo further explanation.

Gu Lingze took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, I am still far from being a true immortal. I hope everyone will just call me by my name from now on."

Gu Feirui's wooden sculpture blinked his eyes and said, "Lingze, if you say so, have you seen a real immortal?"

When the others heard this, their eyes suddenly brightened, and they stretched their necks as if they were afraid of missing a word.

Gu Lingze felt his temple twitching slightly, and was full of admiration for his second brother's way of grasping the key points.

After taking a few deep breaths, Gu Lingze looked at him softly and said, "Of course I haven't seen that."

If I had seen it, I would definitely ask the gods for a magic weapon to shut your mouth at this time.

When Gu Feirui heard this, a trace of disappointment appeared on his face, and he murmured, "I thought you must have seen it."

After the meal, Gu Lingze felt as if he had attended a press conference, and he even had indigestion.

But what he didn't know was that no matter how he explained, his "great" image had already been established in everyone's mind.

Even if it is not a real god descending to earth, it is still the national treasure that protects their Qianyuan country. Anyone who dares to steal it will be fought to the death.

Ten days later, an urgent military intelligence message with an express journey of 800 miles arrived at the capital at full speed.

Two days ago, Emperor Jingdi had received news that the Chongning Iron Cavalry and the Five Capital Guard Camps had disobeyed his orders and refused to provide assistance.

Although the excuses in the memorial of apology submitted to the capital were more plausible than the last, Qi Yuanjing kicked over the imperial desk at that moment, his eyes red with anger.

There were only 400,000 soldiers and horses, but Shi Yangzhuo and Li Weide dared to do this. They were simply going to put the northern army in an irretrievable situation.

What made Qi Yuanjing most frustrated was that at this moment he could not order the execution of the two old guys. He could only persuade them with kind words and let them go to the northern border as soon as possible.

When Prince Gong and Deng Binyu and their group heard the news, they were ecstatic, but they still had to pretend to be sad.

Qi Yuanjing went to court every day, looking at those hypocritical faces, and he only regretted that he had not asked Gu Lingze to skin these people alive that day.

When the report was delivered to the palace, Qi Yuanjing and other ministers were in court.

Dai Zhengqi was guarding in front of the hall. When he saw that it was a report from the Northern Territory, he didn't care about anything else and asked for permission to send it in.

Qi Yuanjing held the battle report in his hand, took several deep breaths, tried hard to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart, and slowly opened the memorial in his hand.
