"Report—"
"An urgent decree from the Emperor!"
"Order Prince Ning to return to the capital immediately!"
The messenger's message resounded throughout Shuofang City.
The faces of many soldiers changed.
They all came forward one by one.
Ning Que came forward to take over the imperial edict.
When opened, it was covered with the national seal.
There are only two words on it.
【go home! 】
Ning Que couldn't help but smile.
Emperor Feng can really give him some fancy tricks.
Ning Que put the imperial edict away silently, feeling a sore nose.
Yes, I have to go home too.
"My Lord, are you leaving?"
"Yeah." Ning Que looked at the young generals, "It's almost time to go back. You must guard Shuofang well and don't let the Liao Kingdom take it back. If the weather is suitable, continue exploring north. Try to drive the Liao Kingdom back to Mobei and capture more fat sheep to replenish your bodies. Don't treat yourselves badly."
"It's very cold in the winter in Shuofang, so you can have a little drink every day to warm yourself up. However, although this strong liquor is good, you must avoid drinking too much. After all, military affairs are more important and cannot be delayed."
Ning Que looked at them.
He was eloquent but suddenly he didn't know what to say.
"Anyway, thank you for your hard work in guarding the Shuofang area."
"Your Majesty!"
Song Ci wiped away his tears.
As soldiers, we all have a unique sense of comradeship.
They didn't spend much time with Ning Que.
But they are brothers who share life and death on the battlefield!
You can trust your back to the other person without worry!
They knew that Ning Que would return to Chang'an sooner or later.
But they didn't expect it to happen so soon.
This is actually very simple.
Emperor Feng was also very curious about the battle situation in Shuofang.
The key point is Gu Yuan’s death, which is also related to Samur.
Since this is a matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries, he will be ordered to return to Beijing.
After all, it was he who negotiated with Samuel.
After all, the Gu family is one of the Eight Great Families in Chang'an.
Gu Mingzhi was the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, holding a high position and great power.
It is still a chess piece to deal with the King of Qi.
No matter what, this matter needs an explanation.
"Okay, we are all grown men."
"I'm returning to Beijing to report on my work, not to die."
“…”
Song Ci and the others were all a little confused.
Feng Wuze glanced at them.
"Why are you crying for no reason?"
"Come on, form a formation!"
"Arrangement—"
The drums of war sounded in due time.
Generals such as Song Ci led their troops into formation.
"Farewell, Prince Ning!"
"Farewell, Prince Ning!"
"Farewell, Prince Ning!"
"Uncle, you are exaggerating..."
"You've made great contributions, and you deserve this honor." Feng Wuze patted Ning Que's shoulder. "When you return to Chang'an, you'll definitely encounter some trouble. Don't be afraid, just fight back. Now you are my Prince Ning of Dafeng, the only prince! The great achievements you have made this time are enough."
"Um."
"Also, be good to Qinghe." Feng Wuze sighed with a hint of regret, "As your uncle, I'm also half a father. It's a pity that I have to guard Shuofang and can't return to Beijing to attend your wedding. Feng Jie, you can go back with Xiao Ning'er."
"promise!"
"You are a smart man, and you know the ins and outs of officialdom. With the title of Prince on your head, you are destined to become a target of public criticism. The Ning princes of all generations have been highly valued, yet also guarded against. You must understand the reasoning. Sometimes revealing weakness is actually a good thing."
"clear."
Ning Que nodded in understanding.
He remembered his father had told him.
Emperors of all dynasties used Prince Ning to check and balance the kings of other surnames.
It's actually a balance.
Let Prince Ning and the king of another surname fight among themselves.
Take the fiefdom for example, Prince Ning, as a prince, only had the small Jingyang County, while the kings of different surnames all had three counties, that is, thirty counties!
In addition, Jingyang is right next to Chang'an.
It is said to be protecting Chang'an, but isn't it also surveillance?
As a prince, if he is not greedy for money and lustful, and he has contacts with ministers in the court, what does he want to do in the eyes of the emperor?!
To defile oneself is also the way of a minister...
"Okay, go ahead."
Ning Que turned around.
At this moment, the three guards have gathered.
He bowed deeply to Song Ci and other generals.
Get on the horse.
"Everyone, take care!"
"Farewell, Prince Ning!"
"Farewell, Prince Ning!"
“…”
Ning Que smiled.
As they left the city, there were cheers of farewell.
…
The three guards were like dragons, stretching for miles.
But there was a carriage at the end of the team.
It was none other than Gu Yuan.
His tendons were now severed, making it impossible for him to ride a horse. As a military commander, this was undoubtedly fatal. Gu Yuan was also very concerned about his reputation and had not shown up until now.
Feng Jie rode his horse to Ning Que's side.
"Xiao Ning'er, why do we need to bring Gu Yuan with us?"
"no way."
"This guy is truly disgusting." Feng Jie's face was filled with disgust, and then he smirked, "But he's really become famous this time. A dignified general, actually having an affair with a ewe... Tsk tsk tsk tsk! If word of this gets to Chang'an City, I bet he'll never leave the Gu family again."
"He brought this upon himself."
"hey-hey."
Feng Jie grinned evilly.
He had never had a good impression of Gu Yuan.
When I learned what Gu Yuan had done, I felt even more disgusted.
Isn't this time going to give the fallen dog a good beating?
"Ignore him."
“We just do our own thing.”
Ning Que looked calm.
He turned to look at the rearmost carriage.
I also thought of what Samuel said before.
The marching route that Xiliang used to obtain Dafeng.
