When the old men and women who were waiting for their sons, husbands and families to return looked up at the sky, spots of light flew out of their bodies that were difficult for the human eye to detect.
After this concerted effort, the border soldiers' concepts have also changed at this moment, turning into merits and flying into the blue sky and white clouds...
In the court.
Pei Changying's expression completely lost control after receiving the victory news from the border.
"Is the Guan family army planning a rebellion?!"
"I understand their difficulties and have not punished them for their delay in capturing Plague City. Yet, they dared to mobilize without my approval!"
"What makes me even more disheartened is that they actually collaborated with the traitors!"
"Are they planning a rebellion? Humph, come, go to the Guan family immediately—"
Before he could even say anything about confiscation of property and imprisonment, dozens of ministers spoke out in unison to persuade him to stop.
Crash!
The ministers were kneeling on the ground in the hall.
Even the prime minister knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Your Majesty, General Guan has been serving his duty faithfully at the border. If we arrest General Guan and his family based solely on this incident, I'm afraid it will cause public outrage!"
"Your Majesty, General Guan commands an army of 200,000! If we capture General Guan's family, I'm afraid he'll rebel in a rage!"
"Your Majesty, no!"
"emperor......"
Under the pleadings of civil and military officials in the court, Pei Changying gradually regained his sanity.
He also knew that General Guan had a large army under his command and had been guarding the bitterly cold border for decades. Now was not the best time to punish General Guan.
First of all, if this matter were to get out, the people would be the first to be dissatisfied.
Although Pei Changying was persuaded by the ministers not to attack the Guan family, he had already planted the seeds of killing General Guan in his heart.
Plague city.
Merchants who came to Plague City to do business had already told the people of Plague City about the great victory at the border.
The eldest princess's frown suddenly relaxed.
Since all the merchants knew about this, it meant that several days had passed.
Maybe Zhou Qichen and the others are already on their way back!
After the imperial army left, the plague city entered a state of preparation and defense.
Fortunately, Pei Changying has not reacted for such a long time, so he did not send a large army to attack the Plague City.
certainly.
This also involved the general's contribution. He suppressed all imperial decrees to send troops and did not tell Pei Changying the actual situation.
So Pei Changying didn't know that the large army of Plague City had gone to the border, and what was left here was just an empty city with little combat power.
Opportunity cannot be missed, Pei Changying missed this chance.
By the time he reacted, the Plague City’s large army had returned. By then, Plague City wouldn’t have to worry about being wiped out by the imperial court.
"Beep."
"Connection open."
"Judging from your expression, I already know about the great victory at the border!"
When the princess heard Gu Sang's voice, she looked up at the open screen.
I saw Gu Sang sitting on the sofa, eating a bag of potato chips with a crunching sound.
The eldest princess's eyes inadvertently swept across the colorfully packaged potato chip bags, and envy flashed in her eyes. She had heard from Gu Sang that these potato chips were snacks made from potatoes.
Look at how delicious the food is!
"Zhou Qichen and the others have already set off. They will probably reach Plague City in a few days."
"General Guan is an admirable hero. He has a broad mind and has no intention of stopping the Plague City soldiers from leaving."
"By the way, let me tell you some good news."
Seeing the princess's puzzled and anxious gaze, Gu Sang pursed his lips before saying, "General Guan has clearly told me that he will not participate in any internal strife."
"His duty from now on is to guard the border and prevent the Xiongnu from setting foot into the Central Plains."
The princess was deeply moved after hearing this, and she was in awe of General Guan's vision. At the same time, she proudly and domineeringly declared:
"Our Central Plains has never lacked warriors or patriotic talents!"
"It's just that the current emperor is a fool, selfish, and will only do what he wants. Even if a talented person were to come to him, he wouldn't use him."
"When I ascend the throne, I will make this country even more powerful."
"I will make the Xiongnu tremble in fear at the mere mention of the Central Plains. They will never be as helpless as they are now!"
Gu Sang agreed and clapped his hands, "Well said, I believe you can do it!"
"As long as the border troops don't intervene, there won't be many troops left in the Central Plains. Wei Qi, it's our turn to seize the throne!"
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Next.
The two began to discuss the next step, how to expand the territory, and how to break into the capital step by step.
After the two discussed for half an hour, they had almost come to an end.
All that remains is to implement it according to the plan. This is a process that cannot be rushed and must be taken step by step.
"Merit increased by 500,000!"
"The merit increases by one million!"
"Merit increased by three million!"
During the connection with the eldest princess, the merit prompts kept increasing.
And it is increasing rapidly.
"bite!"
"The total merit has reached 30 million!"
After hearing that the merit had reached the standard, Gu Sang's heart suddenly shook.
Thirty million!
This number means that grandma can come back!
Her grandmother...
"Wei Qi, that's all for today. Bye!"
