However, Guard Qi didn't shy away from the topic, and specifically mentioned some interesting things that happened during training, or jokes that some people in the military camp had made. Gu Yuzhi laughed non-stop, bending over backwards, and was extremely happy.
The two engaged in a question-and-answer session, creating a harmonious and warm atmosphere, and chatted for quite some time.
When General Lu, who was in the next room, saw Mr. Huo after the door closed, he stood there stunned for a long time, unable to come to his senses.
Although the major general had said that the marshal was still alive and working by the young prince's side, he never expected that the marshal would appear in Quanzhou so openly this time.
His eyes reddened, his lips trembled slightly, and after a long while, he knelt down on one knee with a thud: "Marshal!"
Upon seeing the ancient man, Mr. Huo couldn't help but tear up. He stepped forward, helped him up, and patted his shoulder hard: "Good lad, you can stand on your own now."
General Lu sighed deeply: "It's all thanks to your excellent guidance, Marshal."
Mr. Huo smiled with a complicated expression, pointed to the chair next to him and gestured for him to sit down, then said, "Don't call me Marshal anymore, or someone might hear you."
The whole state seems to be of one mind now, but who knows if the people around us are truly dedicated?
Seeing General Lu nod, Mr. Huo continued, "His Highness and Chief Secretary Xie both call me Mr. Huo now, so you can call me that from now on too."
General Lu nodded repeatedly, holding Mr. Huo's hand tightly and asking him about his situation over the years. When he learned that the collapse of the Xinliang Iron Mine was man-made, General Lu suddenly let go of Mr. Huo's hand, clenched his fist tightly, and his veins bulged.
"Bai Jiwu deserves to die!"
He was in the capital, which was already far removed from this place, and since he was also in the Divine Might Camp, he had even less access to information.
It's fair to say that everyone was a bit down when they received the transfer order.
They only stopped catching up when they heard the young prince's cheers.
Xie Changshi, who had been silent until now, began to change his tone. General Lu thought about it for a moment and understood. He secretly listened to the corner of the wall several times and found that the conversation inside had never stopped. So he went back with his head down.
Seeing him like this, Xie Changshi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "General Lu is now experiencing the feeling of loss."
He and Mr. Huo exchanged a glance, their eyes both conveying the same message: "Serves them right!"
Who told him to be so arrogant, sending Guard Qi to join the army without even a word?
General Lu gave an awkward smile, feeling helpless, but he didn't explain to them. He just nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."
Although General Lu's handling of the matter was not very skillful, this person's attitude was consistently good after entering the room.
Most importantly, with Guard Qi here, His Highness's resentment must have subsided considerably. If General Lu's apology is even more sincere, His Highness will surely forgive him.
Knowing that General Lu had promised Guard Qi four days off, Chief Secretary Xie and Mr. Huo decided not to waste any more time and continued their discussion with General Lu.
Only after the last rays of sunlight had completely faded and the hawking outside the window had subsided considerably did Gu Yuzhi's door receive another knock.
It was General Lu.
After Guard Qi opened the door, General Lu gave him a wink, and Guard Qi nodded slightly. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, walk in with a smile, and respectfully bow: "Your Highness!"
Upon seeing it was him, Gu Yuzhi's smile vanished instantly. She tilted her head and snorted, determined not to speak to General Lu unless he admitted his mistake.
In fact, when Guard Qi reported to the military camp, General Lu had already realized that something was wrong.
I haven't even mentioned this to the young prince yet, so how could the young prince agree to let Guard Qi come to the army to report for duty?
After careful questioning, it was discovered that Guard Qi had actually told the young prince about this matter!
General Lu felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
Now look what's happened! The young prince must think I disrespected him and poached people without even asking!
God is my witness, he really was just testing Guard Qi. After all, with his martial arts skills, it would be a waste for him to be a guard!
If Guard Qi also has this idea, then once Xinliang is successfully built, this matter will naturally be discussed between him and the young prince.
If not, then forget it.
But he never expected that Guard Qi would bring up this matter with the young prince!
If it weren't for the busy affairs of the military, he would have come to explain things to the young prince long ago!
So when he received news from Prefect Ke that the young prince had come to Quanzhou, he came over immediately, thinking he should first explain the matter to the young prince.
But who knew that after arriving, they couldn't even see the young prince!
When he arrived at Mr. Huo's room, Mr. Huo and Xie Changshi and others kept saying that he should apologize to the young prince, which made him both laugh and cry!
If it weren't for Guard Qi's arrival, General Lu would have considered coming over then and there.
After General Lu stood up, seeing that the young prince still had no intention of paying attention to him, he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I know I was wrong!"
Gu Yuzhi's eyes darted around, and he raised his chin even higher: "Hmph! What did you do wrong?"
This was originally a very normal question, but unexpectedly, Shu Xiaohan burst out laughing after hearing it.
There's nothing inherently wrong with this sentence, but it seems to have become a phrase specifically used by girlfriends.
So when Shu Xiaohan suddenly heard the young prince say that, she really couldn't hold back.
Gu Yuzhi had a stern face, determined to let General Lu know that he was very, very angry.
But when Shu Xiaohan smiled, he couldn't hold back anymore.
He smiled slightly, then forced it back down, and hummed again.
General Lu knew that no matter what his original intention was, or what he had said to Guard Qi at the beginning, all he had to do at this moment was to sincerely admit his mistake.
He bowed to Gu Yuzhi and apologized: "I shouldn't have failed to inform you about Guard Qi's matter beforehand. I was already deeply aware of my mistake when Guard Qi arrived, and I beg Your Highness's forgiveness."
Gu Yuzhi pouted and glanced at him.
Actually, he wasn't so angry anymore when Teacher Shu smiled: "Since you know you're wrong, then sit down."
General Lu dared not sit down and stood obediently: "I have done something wrong and should be punished. I will just stand."
Because of General Lu's words, Gu Yuzhi's last bit of reluctance disappeared completely, and he said with a smile, "Now I'm asking you to sit, so just sit. Why think so much?"
The innkeeper, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation, finally found an opportunity to sneak up for dinner.
Because he met Guard Qi, Gu Yuzhi felt not only satisfied with the taste of the meal, but also very happy.
After dinner, it was already quite late. Although Gu Yuzhi wanted to chat with Guard Qi a little longer, he couldn't resist the call of sleep. His little head bobbed up and down, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
