"Does Li Luo agree to let you go to the seedling field?" Jing Mo asked.
Jiang Zhuojun nodded. Li Luo owed Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang such a big favor. Did he have any reason to refuse?
Jing Mo said to Gu Xinglang, "Then let Zhuo Jun go with you. The Miao land is dangerous, and if you stay together, you can take care of each other."
Gu Xinglang was still hesitating.
Jing Mo said: "Yan Ruo's safety is the most important thing now."
Speaking of his elder brother, Gu Xinglang had no reason to refuse.
Jiang Zhuojun stood up and said, "I will go back to the palace to report to His Majesty and gather all the troops. This Lin..."
Yu Xiao: "Xiao Linzi."
Jiang Zhuojun said: "Xiao Linzi, can you set off tomorrow morning?"
Yu Xiao: "Once the fever is gone, we can go on the road."
Jiang Zhuojun looked at Gu Xinglang, then at Jing Mo, and said, "I'll go back and prepare. I'll come back tomorrow morning."
General Xiao Jiang came and went in a hurry, and soon only the unconscious Gu Lin and Yu Xiaoxiao were left in the room.
Jing Mo was lost in thought as he stared at the flickering candlelight opposite him. Then he lowered his voice and said to Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang, "Yan Ruo would not enter the Miao land for no reason. When he was in the Temple of Eternal Life, he was valued by Mo Wen. Now that Mo Wen is seriously injured, he has also entered the Miao land. It seems that this Miao land is not what we thought it was. It is just barbarian slaves."
Gu Xinglang asked, "What else do you think is in the seedling field?"
Jing Mo shook his head and said, "I can't think of it, but the reason why your elder brother went to Miaodi should be related to the Eternal Life Temple, and he must have a reason to go."
"What's the reason?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked. She couldn't think of anything.
Jing Mo looked at Gu Xinglang and said, "When your elder brother could have been appointed as prime minister, he claimed to be sick and left the capital. Now your elder brother is in Miaodi, which means that he claimed to be sick to deceive the emperor."
"Hey, hey!"
When Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang heard Jing Mo say that their elder brother was bullying the king, they were about to jump.
Jing Mo raised his hand and made a downward gesture, saying: "I am talking about the facts. Think about it yourself, what is worthy of Yan Ruo going to Miaodi even if it means deceiving the king?"
How could Yu Xiaoxiao know this? It couldn't be because Brother Gu had a lover in Miaodi? This lover even gave Brother Gu a son? Glancing at Gu Xinglang, Yu Xiaoxiao was smart enough not to voice her suspicions.
Gu Xinglang whispered, "Is there anyone in Miaodi who can help my eldest brother kill Mo Wen?"
Jing Mo said: "That's possible, but it's also possible that someone was harmed by Mo Wen, and your elder brother went to Miaodi to seek medical treatment."
Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xinglang: "Is my elder brother sick?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head.
Jing Mo said: "Mo Wen came to Miao land with injuries. There must be someone with superb medical skills in Miao land. I think if Yan was seeking medical treatment from someone, this possibility is greater."
"Is grandpa sick?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked again.
Gu Xinglang said, "Princess, no one in the family is sick, you say..." Gu Xinglang was stunned halfway through his words. If someone in the family was sick, wouldn't that person be him? Unexplained headache, inexplicable coma, was his elder brother doing this for him?
Jing Mo said: "In short, you have to be careful, this trip to Miao land is very dangerous."
Gu Xinglang clenched his fists. He and Yu Xiaoxiao discovered that something was wrong with his body in Taichang Mountain. Did his elder brother know that something was wrong with his body before that? The imperial doctors all said that he was fine. How did his elder brother know that something was wrong with his body and go to Miaodi to seek medical treatment?
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't have any ideas, she nodded to Jing Mo and said, "Don't worry, we will be careful, and nothing will happen to us and Big Brother."
Jing Mo smiled and said, "I will wait for you in Taichang City. If you don't arrive in Taichang City after a month, I will go to Miaodi to look for you."
"Okay," Yu Xiao: "It's decided."
Jing Mo joked, "Isn't this a happy decision?"
Yu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "I'm very happy right now."
After Jing Mo and Yu Xiaoxiao joked, he looked at Gu Xinglang who remained silent and said, "Qinghui, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Xinglang raised his eyes to look at Jing Mo and said reluctantly, "Nothing, I was just thinking about my elder brother."
Jing Mo comforted Gu Xinglang, "Yan Ruo is not an easy person to deal with. He will be fine this time."
"Yes," Yu Xiaoxiao put her hand on the back of Gu Xinglang's hand and said, "Xiao Gu, big brother will be fine!"
Gu Xinglang nodded to Yu Xiaoxiao. He would rather his elder brother went to find a way to kill Mo Wen. If Mo Wen's illness had really reached the point where his elder brother had to risk his life and go deep into the Miao area to seek medical treatment, Gu Xinglang looked at Yu Xiaoxiao. He didn't want to die. As long as Yu Xiaoxiao was around, Young Master Gu couldn't bear to die.
Jiang Zhuojun returned to the imperial palace and asked Li Luo for permission to go to Miaodi.
Li Luo was still reading the memorial under the light. After hearing what Jiang Zhuojun said, Li Luo was startled. He put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at Jiang Zhuojun. The new Lord of Suzaku asked, "Did the princess and the prince consort ask you to do this?"
Jiang Zhuojun shook his head and said, "I want to go to Miaodi with them."
"Zhuo Jun..."
"Your Majesty," Jiang Zhuojun said before Li Luo could finish his words, "The Miao land is dangerous. I can't let them rush into the Miao land like this. They are from Fengtian and they have never been to the Miao land."
Li Luo said, "Aren't there guards who escaped from Miaodi?"
Jiang Zhuojun said: "The guard was seriously injured. When I went to see him, he was still unconscious. Even if the guard was awake, I would not trust him to lead the way."
"Then you can lead the way for them?" Li Luo stood up and walked to Jiang Zhuojun and said, "You have only been to Miao land once, and it was on the edge of the land."
"Yes," Jiang Zhuojun whispered, "Our Jiang family army was defeated that time."
Li Luo said: "What should we do if something happens to you in Miaodi?"
Jiang Zhuojun was silent for a moment, then said to Li Luo: "I owe the princess and Qinghui for saving my life several times."
"Are you doing this to repay the life-saving favor, or for the princess?" Li Luo asked Jiang Zhuojun.
Jiang Zhuojun was surprised by Li Luo's question.
"Mr. Zhuo," Li Luo said solemnly to his military commander, "You grew up with me, and I can see what you are thinking."
Jiang Zhuojun bit his lip, bowed to Li Luo and said, "I beg Your Majesty to grant me this."
"You," Li Luo looked at Jiang Zhuojun.
Jiang Zhuojun kept bowing and waiting.
Li Luo put his hand on Jiang Zhuojun's shoulder and said, "I see that Princess Linglong and Gu Xinglang are deeply in love. Have you thought it through?"
Jiang Zhuojun shook his head and said coldly, "I didn't think about that. I just hope that they are safe. I will be at peace if they can return to Fengtian safely."
Li Luo said: "Then can you promise me that you will come back alive?"
Jiang Zhuojun said: "I will do my best."
Try your best, that means you can't guarantee it. Li Luo patted Jiang Zhuojun on the shoulder, turned around and walked back to the imperial desk and sat down, saying, "Go ahead, I will always fulfill your wish."
