"Yan Zheng is the commander of the Imperial Guards and is responsible for the guard arrangements for the Qiushan Patrol. If he is here, I'm afraid he will hinder your majesty's revenge plan.
I have a plan. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, I can replace a team of guards under Yan Zheng with my own people.
At the banquet after the tour, Your Majesty will throw the cup as a signal, and we will be able to catch the Queen Mother and her followers by surprise!"
Yan Ning did not speak, his expression became a little strange, staring into Li Zhengqing's eyes, and said word by word:
"How dare you... raise private soldiers?"
Li Zhengqing looked righteous and dignified, and kowtowed and said:
"Extraordinary situations call for extraordinary measures. I am not raising a private army, but am accumulating strength for Your Majesty.
Otherwise, Your Majesty, this palace is surrounded by enemies. How long will it take for you to take revenge?"
"Haha, hahaha..." Yan Ning laughed and clapped his hands.
The next moment, the smile on his face disappeared, and suddenly a dark cloud appeared on his face. He stared into Li Zhengqing's eyes and asked:
"I let your people in. What if they want to harm me?!"
Li Zhengqing said calmly:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. My men are only one in ten and are definitely no match for the Imperial Guards.
Besides, Commander Yan Zheng will be by your side at all times, so your Majesty's safety will not be a problem."
Li Zhengqing raised his head and looked at Yu Yanning, his tone carrying a hint of temptation.
"Your Majesty, once you are married, you will be in charge of government affairs and no longer have to look at the Queen Mother's face.
Most importantly, the late Empress Dowager’s spirit can finally rest in peace.”
Li Zhengqing's words hit Yan Ning's heart with incredible accuracy.
He hesitated for a moment and made a decision.
"Someone, call Yan Zheng to see me."
…
There are only seven days left until the Autumn Mountain Tour.
Capital city, Imperial Fragrance Pavilion.
Gu Chaoyang pushed open the door of the last private room, and the people inside looked at him at the same time.
"Sorry for the wait!"
Gu Chaoyang smiled brightly at his classmates whom he hadn't seen for a long time, just like the high-spirited look he had when he chose to join the army.
"My brother!!!" Zhao Si came up and gave him a big hug.
Xu Shiming pointed at Gu Chaoyang's tanned cheeks and laughed, and jokingly asked him to ask Xiang Lai'er to buy two bottles of "skin rejuvenating cream" to apply on him.
Gu Chaoyang was completely relaxed in front of them. He immediately rolled up his sleeves, showing off the strong muscles on his bronze arms, and raised his eyebrows at Xu Shiming in a show-off manner.
Xu Shiming took off his sunglasses and said vaguely, "It turns out to be General Gu. Congratulations!"
Gu Chaoyang is currently the deputy commander of the Potian Army. He received news from Zhu Lan half a month ago and secretly rushed back to the capital.
After a few jokes, everyone got down to business.
Zhu Lan stepped forward and said to him:
"Chaoyang, now outsiders don't know where we are. How many people did you bring with you when you returned to Beijing this time?"
Gu Chaoyang said:
“The Potian Army is a border guard and cannot leave their post without permission. Besides, I am returning to the capital secretly, so I only brought 30 of my own guards with me this time.
Although there are not many people, they are all elite. I have arranged them near Qiushan in advance."
Gu Chaoyang said, and suddenly thought of something:
"But I found something strange."
