By the end of February, the Gu family was starting to panic, as they hadn't received a letter from Gu Xin for a month.
Queen Dugu reassured them, saying that with her brother there, there would be no problem. Perhaps the eagle was sick.
Even so, the Gu family was still very worried about Gu Xin.
Moreover, two months have passed, and there is still no news from Lu Zheng, Peng Ze, and Xue Qianyu. Not only is the Gu family anxious, but even the emperor is worried.
These three are the emperor's chosen ministers and generals who will assist his son in the future!
The emperor recalled the generals of the Great Zhou who were guarding the four directions, and prepared to discuss how to reinforce Kuncheng. He also asked General Peng to bring Gu Nian's creation back to the capital, intending to broaden everyone's horizons and boost their confidence.
In early March, the four generals arrived in the capital. They were General Peng, who guarded the west; General Yi, who guarded the north; General Shi, who guarded the south; and General Ying, who guarded the east.
These four were all generals who were loyal to the royal family and devoted to the country. Some of them might be a little stubborn, but they would never betray the Great Zhou.
The emperor had General Peng demonstrate what Gu Nian had made, and the other three generals were all shocked by the destructive power of the weapon.
General Shi was a burly man with a thick beard, big eyebrows, and large eyes. He stroked his beard and asked, "Brother Peng, how much of this stuff can you produce in a month?"
General Yi exclaimed, "With this, our Great Zhou can traverse the entire country, from east to west and north to south!"
The Great Zhou Dynasty borders the sea to the east, and General Ying, like General Shi, is responsible for guarding the coast. However, his question was different: "May I ask Brother Peng, does this thing have such power in the water?"
The emperor said, "You all come one by one, asking questions one after another. Who should General Peng answer first?"
After speaking, the emperor glanced at General Peng.
General Peng, with a stern face, said, "Because of lax family discipline, a good-for-nothing has emerged in the family. The Gu family girl doesn't want our people to work with her. And this thing is extremely dangerous. With just the two Gu family girls and the Huo family girl working together, they can only make five in a month."
After Gu Xin's accident, Gu Si took on all of Gu Xin's usual responsibilities, with Xie Zhiyi providing some assistance. Meanwhile, Huo Yanyu and Gu Yingxue continued to help Gu Nian.
They don't have enough people at their disposal.
The main reason is that the risk factor is too high, so Gu Nian only trusts Huo Yanyu and Gu Yingxue to operate it.
General Shi scoffed, "Your fourth son was ruined by his son. I told him long ago that even though that kid isn't healthy, he should still be kept in the camp and pampered. He might not be healthy, but he'll be smarter!"
General Ying nodded in agreement.
General Yi patted General Peng on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "With Peng Mu in the Peng family, it is indeed difficult to get rid of the spies in your family. However, I believe your father can handle them one by one."
General Peng smirked, "You'd be better off not offering any comfort at all. You're making it sound like I can't live without my father."
The Emperor waved his hand: "Stop talking. You've all seen the power of this thing. I summoned you all back to the capital to ask how many people you can currently deploy to Kunzhou. Also, do you have any skilled individuals, like those who can help the Gu family girl and aren't afraid of death?"
Apart from General Peng, the other three exchanged glances, but before they could figure out what was going on, the emperor scolded them: "Do you think I'm dead? That I don't exist? You're plotting to deceive me right under my nose?"
