After reaching an agreement, Gu Yuzhi began to dictate. Just like in the first letter, Gu Yuzhi first expressed his gratitude and longing before talking about the bandit incident.

As His Highness recounted the story, Chief Secretary Xie paused slightly, his hand holding the pen pausing. After a moment's thought, he swallowed back his speculations about the bandits. This matter was far too complicated; he would tell His Highness everything when His Highness was a little older.

but……

Chief Secretary Xie glanced at Gu Yuzhi, thinking that perhaps when His Highness was older, he would be able to notice these things were not right.

Gu Yu was unaware of Xie Changshi's thoughts, and was enthusiastically praising Xueye's cuteness, trying to use this to dissuade his elder brother from having designs on Xueye's mother: "Now Xueye is training with Guard Qi during the day. Xie Changshi said that once we go to Xinliang, when Xueye grows up, he will have Xueye protect me closely."

As Gu Yuzhi continued, he lost his rhythm, saying whatever came to mind, knowing that Chief Secretary Xie would figure something out: "By the way, Your Majesty, Chief Secretary Xie and I discussed setting the fiefdom in Xinliang. Xinliang is located between Quanzhou and Changzhou, and it's a very large place..." He scratched his head, "but it's too desolate. There's only one very narrow and uneven road, which is difficult for even a carriage to pass through. When I was in the carriage, I felt like my bones were about to fall apart. My mood at the time was just like its name—my heart was cold."

Xie Changshi paused, unable to suppress a laugh. After receiving the prince's silent rebuke, he cleared his throat and wrote down the words verbatim.

After writing on the paper quickly, Gu Yuzhi took it aside and carefully spread it out, afraid that the ink would soak through the paper and ruin it, requiring him to rewrite it.

After rambling on for a while, it was time for the most important thing. Gu Yuzhi straightened his expression and, as agreed, recounted the events without any concealment. After Xie Changshi finished writing, Gu Yuzhi puffed out his cheeks and blew hard, thinking to himself that if his elder brother asked him to bring Xueye's mother back, he would be angry with his brother.

The next time he sent a letter, he wouldn't mention missing his elder brother, nor would he buy him any special products from the northern desert!

Chief Secretary Xie sealed the letter with wax and handed it to Eunuch Ran: "It will take two days to purchase the local specialties. Please wait two more days, Eunuch Ran."

He turned to Gu Yuzhi and said, "Your Highness, since the guard has gone missing, I would like to request the Mobei Escort Agency to escort Eunuch Ran back to the capital."

"Yes, yes!" Gu Yuzhi nodded and said, "Master Xie, remember to find the best bodyguard, preferably as good as Guard Qi."

After a moment of silence, Chief Secretary Xie said with great uncertainty, "I will do my best."

He had barely finished speaking when Manager Wen said, "Your Highness, I have something to say."

Gu Yuzhi looked at Manager Wen, his small eyes wide open: "Manager Wen, please tell me quickly."

"I've been thinking for a while now that Guard Qi's martial arts are so high, we could totally open our own escort agency." Manager Wen smiled so much that his eyes disappeared, making him look exceptionally honest, but there was a sharp glint in his eyes. "I've noticed that Guard Qi and the others don't seem to have much to do in the manor every day. Last time they said they were going to suppress bandits, they seemed very happy about it."

Is there?

Gu Yuzhi tilted his head and thought for a moment. How come he hadn't noticed?

But what about opening your own security escort agency?

Gu Yuzhi's eyes immediately lit up. The idea of ​​opening a restaurant had been rejected before because of Xu Mama's gender. Of course, the most important reason was that Xu Mama wasn't very interested. If it were Guard Qi...

Gu Yuzhi covered his mouth and chuckled. These past few days, Guard Qi had been teaching him martial arts in the afternoons, but he'd been quite unserious, always talking about things at their training ground, and even mentioning that his belly had grown bigger since they came to the Northern Desert...

He coughed twice, mimicking Chief Secretary Xie, and after everyone looked over, he made a three-pointed gesture: "However, Chief Secretary Xie and Guard Qi said that his martial arts skills rank third in Sang Kingdom. It should be very difficult to find someone more skilled than Guard Qi in the Northern Desert."

Chief Secretary Xie nodded and smiled, "Yes."

"Then why don't we have Guard Qi escort Eunuch Ran back?" Gu Yuzhi thought for a moment. He was a prince and couldn't return to the capital casually, but Guard Qi was just a guard. It should be fine, right?

"Your Highness, you mustn't," Chief Secretary Xie quickly explained. "Guard Qi is now Your Highness's first-class bodyguard. According to the law, he is the same as Your Highness and cannot return to the capital without being summoned."

Gu Yuzhi puffed out his cheeks, looking somewhat dejected. He then gestured with his chin toward Chief Secretary Xie, his meaning clear: I have something to say to you in private; you should get everyone else to leave.

Everyone could see through Gu Yuzhi's meaning, and they quickly excused themselves and left. After the council hall was completely quiet, Gu Yuzhi jumped off his chair, tilted his head back and said, "Chief Secretary Xie, Chief Secretary Xie, what do you think about us opening a security escort agency and then having Guard Qi secretly become the head of the escort agency?"

His eyes sparkled, and before Xie Changshi could answer, he continued, "I know, Guard Qi is my bodyguard because..." He tried hard to give Manager Wen and Shu Xiaohan a meaningful look in his mind, trying to recall the exact word...

Shu Xiaohan said, "It's frustrating, a waste of talent, a great talent being wasted..."

There are so many similar words, but none of them can describe the feeling of a top-ranked expert in the country becoming a bodyguard for a child.

Gu Yuzhi then added, "A waste of talent!"

This word has the most characters, so choosing this one is definitely the right choice.

"And the other guards are the same. They spend all their time guarding the mansion. The mansion is small, and there's no training ground. Why don't we open a security escort agency, with Guard Qi as the head escort and the other guards as escorts?" He chuckled. "Then we can take on business!"

He covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "In that case, next time my brother bestows a reward upon me, we can have Guard Qi escort it back as the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort).

Once Guard Qi returns to the capital as the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), he will no longer be Guard Qi, but Head镖师 Qi.

Gu Yuzhi shook his head, thinking to himself that he was truly a brilliant little genius!

Although Your Highness's words are very good, is Guard Qi willing?

The third-ranked expert of the mighty Great Sang Kingdom, becoming a镖头 (bodyguard/escort)?

This is truly a waste of talent, isn't it?

Just as Xie Changshi was about to refuse, he suddenly thought of something and changed his mind: "I think Your Highness's idea is brilliant, but we still need to see what Guard Qi thinks. I will go and discuss it with Guard Qi now."

Gu Yuzhi nodded hurriedly. He wanted to wait for Xie Changshi's good news, but then he thought that it was too late today and he was already sleepy. He also had homework assigned by Chen Dianyi that he hadn't done yet.

If Chen Dianyi is still teaching tomorrow and I haven't written any large characters, I'm afraid Chen Dianyi will complain again.

He hurriedly waved to Chief Secretary Xie: "Chief Secretary Xie, go quickly, and make sure to speak well with Guard Qi. It would be best if I could hear the good news as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning."

Chief Secretary Xie bowed slightly, turned around and walked out.

The matter of Guard Qi wanting to become the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) is far more complicated than His Highness thinks. The most important thing is not what Guard Qi thinks, but what His Majesty thinks.
