The old emperor had said before that he would send a group of people to Sun Jian to plant potatoes on the nearby imperial estates!
So, the group of people sent to farm were them?
Holy crap!
After all that, I finally understand!
At that moment, Sun Jian wanted to curse and even hit someone.
These brainless idiots are even less intelligent than Tie Dan.
If you're here to report to me, then report properly. Why are you acting like you're going to raid my house?
That almost scared the hell out of me!
"You just said you were sent by His Majesty?" Sun Jianqiang asked, suppressing his anger.
"yes!"
The guard captain remained kneeling on one knee.
"Your name is Gu Hu?"
Sun Jian rolled his eyes at him, annoyed.
"Yes, sir."
Gu Hu answered Sun Jian's question with utmost respect.
"Then you're really something else!"
Gu Hu was clearly unaware of the double entendre in Sun Jian's words, and thought it was a compliment.
"Thank you for your praise, sir. My name was bestowed upon me by the late general."
have to!
The diagnosis is confirmed: he's mentally challenged.
Sun Jian glanced at the densely packed, kneeling armored soldiers inside the courtyard and at the main gate, and asked Gu Hu again, "What? How long do you plan to kneel?"
"Reporting to you, sir, the imperial edict clearly states that after reporting to you, this humble general and his five hundred guards are all under your command!"
“Sir, your words are military orders. We cannot rise unless you command us to do so.”
"oh?"
Sun Jian jokingly repeated, "So, does that mean I've become your lord? My words are military orders?"
"Yes, sir!"
"interesting."
Sun Jian nodded meaningfully.
This emperor is really shrewd.
So many days have passed since the potato planting incident, and he hasn't sent anyone during that time.
These subordinates had to come at just the right time—just when I had become the deputy captain of the Tiger Legion and was about to take up my post the next day.
She really wanted to nurse, so her mother came.
When she missed her family, her son's uncle arrived.
The emperor not only wanted these people to protect him, but he also knew that he had just taken office and was struggling to manage the situation alone, and might be short-handed...
Perhaps, this was already planned from the very beginning when they agreed to send people to farm for them.
There's a lot more to this than meets the eye...
At that moment, Sun Jian's anger subsided considerably.
"Alright, everyone get up."
Sun Jian waved.
The five hundred armored soldiers rose in unison and shouted once again, "Thank you, sir!"
At this moment, the three women hid in the room, constantly worried about Sun Jian's situation.
After hearing their husbands' conversation with the other party several times, they finally felt relieved.
However, Gu Zijian, one of the three women, reacted very strongly.
When she heard that familiar voice and saw that familiar person through the window, Gu Zijian trembled all over.
She walked blankly toward the door, as if she had lost her soul.
This unusual reaction quickly caught the attention of Chu Qingcheng and Zhou Wan'er.
"Sister Purple Sword? What's wrong with you?"
"Little sister, are you going out?"
Gu Zijian ignored the two women's concerned words and walked out of the house on his own.
When she appeared in the front yard and saw Gu Hu, she was so excited that she couldn't express it, and her eyes filled with tears.
"Gu...Gu...Hu?"
Gu Zijian's voice was somewhat hoarse.
When Sun Jian saw Gu Zijian's appearance, he immediately understood.
When Gu Hu saw Gu Zijian, he was also very excited, and there was even a sense of disbelief in his eyes.
"Young...Young Miss!"
"You're...you're still alive!"
"You... what are you doing here?"
After repeatedly confirming that there was no doubt about it, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately knelt on one knee.
"This humble general, Gu Hu, greets Miss!"
When Gu Hu knelt down, the five hundred armored soldiers behind him also knelt down in excitement.
"Greetings, Miss!"
With tears welling in his eyes, Gu Zijian glanced at the armored soldiers, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
At this moment, Chu Qingcheng and Zhou Wan'er also walked in, and when they saw this scene, they understood the general idea.
Sun Jian stepped forward and pulled Gu Zijian into his arms, asking softly, "Zijian, are you alright?"
"My husband, I'm alright..."
Gu Zijian sighed softly and wiped away her tears with her fingers.
“They are all… all my father’s former subordinates, and some of them were even servants and retainers of the Gu family.”
"I see!"
Sun Jian gently patted Gu Zijian to comfort him.
Sun Jian could completely understand Gu Zijian's feelings.
A woman who has experienced such a major family upheaval, with all her relatives dead, suddenly encounters her father's former subordinate. Who wouldn't be moved?
"Alright, get up, you don't need to kneel forever."
"Tiedan, go to the backyard and tell Lao Jiang and the others that everything is normal in the front hall, it was all a misunderstanding, and tell them to continue working."
"Yes, sir."
Seeing Tie Dan run quickly to the backyard, Sun Jian said to Gu Hu, "Gu Hu, let the brothers rest for a while, and you come with me into the hall."
"yes!"
Gu Hu wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the relationship between Sun Jian and Gu Zijian.
After arranging the armored soldiers, he followed Sun Jian into the front hall.
Inside the lobby.
Sun Jian sat high in the center, with Chu Qingcheng, Gu Zijian, and Zhou Wan'er standing on either side, while Gu Hu once again knelt on one knee to kowtow to them.
"Alright, alright, stop kneeling around, it hurts my head."
Sun Jian rubbed the bridge of his nose, gesturing for Gu Hu to find a place to sit.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Hu said sincerely, "This humble general dares not! The young lady is still standing, how can this humble general sit?"
Sun Jian had no choice but to gesture for the three women standing behind him to sit down as well.
The three women were all very well-behaved and sat in the row to Sun Jian's left, while Gu Hu remained kneeling.
Sun Jian was too lazy to persuade him any further, and turned to the three women, saying, "I'm sorry that you three ladies were frightened by what happened today. It was just a false alarm. It's all that idiot Tiedan's fault for reporting the situation so carelessly."
"Let me introduce you. This is Gu Hu, the Captain of the Left Guard of the Capital City. He has brought five hundred armored soldiers with him today on imperial orders. From now on, they will obey my orders."
Chu Qingcheng and Zhou Wan'er nodded and stood up to bow to Gu Hu.
The two women's greeting was insignificant, but it startled Gu Hu, who quickly turned around, knelt down, and kowtowed in return.
"This humble general pays his respects to the two ladies!"
"Lieutenant Gu, there's no need for such formalities. You will be my husband's subordinate in the future, so it is only right that I show you respect."
Chu Qingcheng said softly.
Seeing this, Sun Jian raised his hand and said to Gu Hu, "Alright, Gu Hu, it's not good to be too polite. Get up and find a place to sit down and talk."
"Your humble servant obeys!"
Gu Hu stood up and sat down on the right.
Everyone knows about Gu Zijian's background, and they are also aware that Gu Hu and Gu Zijian have a past relationship.
"I never thought I would see Miss again in my lifetime!"
