Liu Zhang responded hurriedly, and as he hurried down the city wall, he saw Gu Tingzhou blocking the way at the stone stairs.
"You still want to die?" Gu Tingchen stared at him with bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent.
Gu Tingzhou covered his arrow wound and said righteously, "The northern border is unstable, and the court has exhausted all its efforts to defend against the northern invaders. Tingchen, do you still want to provoke a war in Yuezhou?"
Gu Tingchen snorted coldly: "So what if he provokes me? To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country. Sooner or later, I will tear this scoundrel Fu Mingchi into pieces."
Gu Tingzhou scoffed, feeling his brother had completely lost his mind. "With 200,000 Yuezhou troops, how confident are you that you can pacify them? You're exacerbating internal and external troubles, causing chaos under heaven. Do you want to be the eternal sinner, bringing infamy upon the Queen Mother, Father, and the entire Gu family?"
Gu Tingchen suddenly choked and clenched his fists unwillingly.
Gu Tingzhou continued, "Fu Mingchi mobilized the army without authorization today and surrounded Yuzhou City. He only needs to report the truth to the court and he will give an explanation. Wanwan would rather jump off the city wall than marry you. Why are you still forcing her?"
"Get out." Gu Tingchen yelled at Gu Tingzhou with his face flushed.
Wanwan had escaped, and Gu Tingzhou had no intention of staying here. He slowly walked out of the Pacification Office. Just thinking about the good days that the two brothers had spent with Wanwan in Tongyang, his heart ached.
He wanted to go back to the old days, but he knew that he could never go back, so he left with an extremely sad look on his face.
Seeing the eldest son finally walk out of the Pacification Commissioner's Office alive, Liu Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly, "Young Master, what should we do next?"
"Tell Xue Jiu to return home as soon as possible and conduct a thorough investigation of all levels of government offices in Yuezhou," said Gu Tingchen.
Liu Zhang frowned, "Young Master, will you obey the eldest master and immediately report to the court to impeach Prince Yongning for mobilizing the army without authorization?"
"Your brain is just like his, you've been kicked by a donkey?" Gu Tingchen said angrily, "Do you want him to thoroughly investigate the pirates or to capture the assassin?"
Thinking of the assassins disguising themselves as pirates to assassinate Fu Mingchi, Liu Zhang lowered his head quickly out of guilt.
Gu Tingchen was well aware that there was no way they could do anything to him in this matter, just like he had failed in the assassination attempt. Everyone knew it, but they did not expect that this bastard would actually turn the tables on them and use this as an excuse to mobilize troops at will.
If Xue Jiu doesn't return home soon, the Yingzhou army will probably have to stay in the territory of the Pacification Commissioner's Office for a long time.
When Gu Tingchen thought of the flirting between Wanwan and Fu Mingchi, he was so angry that his whole body trembled.
Next time, he will definitely not give Fu Mingchi another chance to turn things around.
