"Are we ready to go?"

"yes."

"That's good. In that case, we should wait for the Jin envoy to arrive and then set off for Sui'an City the day after. It would be ridiculous to wait for them every day!"

Hearing this, Shao Shengming and Luo Yuan looked at each other and realized that this was the end of their general's patience. Originally, the envoys from the Great Jin could have had a few days to rest, but now they arrived on the first day and left on the second. To put it bluntly, this was a loss of face for them.

Gu Shaoyu would not allow a vassal country to take advantage of him.

Summer nights are always filled with twinkling stars, which do not compete for glory or dazzle the eye, but gather together so well that one cannot take their eyes away. However, at this moment, the envoys of the Great Jin had no intention of appreciating this beautiful night view.

Inside the tent of the marching commander, the figures of two brothers were cast on the tent cloth, one standing and the other sitting, in a state of confrontation.

"Brother, you are the prince of our Great Jin Dynasty. If you are so weak, aren't you afraid that you will be scared to death by Gu Shaoyu in Cezhou?"

The one who opened his mouth in a sarcastic tone was the ninth prince of the Great Jin Dynasty. He was young, strong and full of blood. Now he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Naturally, he would not submit to others and pay tribute.

Therefore, he was so rude when speaking to his elder brother, who did not have the same mother as him, and his expression was so smug that he wanted everyone to know his dissatisfaction.

Unfortunately, the eldest prince sitting in front of him remained unmoved.

He just picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip, then spoke.

"Gu Shaoyu is not the person you say he is. Back then, we jointly planned to bury the entire Gu family in Bailan Valley. We thought that the defense of the northwest of Daxing would be unstoppable, but look, it has only been a short time, and the defense of Cezhou has become as solid as a rock. It's okay for you to be arrogant at a young age, but you should know that this person is much more terrifying than the old Marshal Gu back then. Moreover, all the generals who participated in the Battle of Jince were killed by him in front of the battlefield. This is a private revenge, and people can't find any fault with it. You want to show off in front of him, which is wrong in itself."

The eldest prince is now about the same age as Gu Shaoyu, and the two of them have been rivals on the battlefield for many years. To a certain extent, they may be the ones who know each other best. With 400,000 against 700,000, they are obviously the weaker side, but they were able to fight back and beat them without any resistance.

So, he looked at his ninth brother who was shouting here as if he was a fool, and was waiting for Gu Shaoyu to come and put out the fire for his brother.

Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince was a man who would not listen to advice. Even though their father had repeatedly told him not to provoke Gu Shaoyu before he came, he just wouldn't accept it, so he spoke with a provocative look in his eyes.

"My father is old, so he is very timid. I can understand that. But my eldest brother is now at the age when he should be in glory, but he always encourages others to be ambitious and destroys his own prestige. I don't believe how much ability a 30-year-old man can have? Even if we compete in strength, can my two hammers not cripple him? Just wait and see, my eldest brother, I will definitely avenge those soldiers who died in our Great Jin."

After saying this, the Ninth Prince strode away. His hurried manner as he left made the First Prince look at him with disdain.

What an idiot! He dares to compete with me for the throne with such a few tricks.

The reason why he agreed to bring the Ninth Prince along was to let him anger Gu Shaoyu or the nobles of the Daxing Dynasty. It would be best if they died in Daxing. This would not only save him from having to take action, but also give him an excuse to stir up the dispute.

Therefore, along the way, he told the Ninth Prince many times about how powerful Gu Shaoyu was. His purpose was to provoke his fighting spirit against Gu Shaoyu and make him do something shameful. There was a hint of pride on his face, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with his act of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

The moon set and the sun rose, and two days passed quickly.

By the time the envoys from the Great Jin slowly entered the north gate of Cezhou with their tribute, Gu Shaoyu had obviously been waiting there for a long time.

He stood there with his hands behind his back. Although he was not wearing armor, the awe-inspiring aura he exuded made the people from the Great Jin who followed him feel a little scared.

After all, the ceasefire between the two sides had only been in place for one or two years, and they were still quite wary of Gu Shaoyu's reputation. Therefore, among the group, there was the smiling eldest prince, fearful followers, and naturally the arrogant ninth prince.

Luo Yuan followed behind Gu Shaoyu and saw the Ninth Prince with his nose in the air from a distance. With some disdain in his eyes, he whispered in front of his general.

"Look at that Ninth Prince who looks like a fool. He might think he is the King of the Great Jin. Please give me a chance. I will beat him until he begs for mercy!"

He said this completely from the heart, and Zheng Deli, who was standing next to Luo Yuan, meant the same thing. He touched his beard and said this.

"Add me in. What I hate most is this kind of immature brat who is so arrogant that he thinks he is the only man of blood in the world. Humph, I must beat him until his teeth are all on the ground."

After hearing this, Ni Yang and Wei Lun, who were still calm, offered some advice.

"They are here to pay tribute and to fight. You two are good at making arrangements. Be careful not to destroy our peace alliance."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After hearing this, the two of them quieted down after cursing.

Compared to dealing with the unpleasant Ninth Prince, the safety of the people is indeed more important, but the two of them looked at each other and had other ideas. If it doesn't work openly, then they will do it secretly. After all, not all the people in their Tiger Guards are gentlemen.

For example, Luo Yuan and Zheng Deli love to use those evil methods, which are perfect for them to deal with these people.

Gu Shaoyu stood in front, but didn't say much. He just looked at the eldest prince who rode in. After not seeing him for so many days, the cunning in his eyes had not diminished at all.

When the eldest prince saw Gu Shaoyu, he dismounted from his horse, took a few quick steps over and said with a laugh.

"General Gu, thank you for keeping me waiting. I had a small accident on the way, so I was delayed for some time. I hope you can forgive me."

They lowered their posture as soon as they came up and gave a serious explanation. Such an attitude made it difficult to say anything to them, so Gu Shaoyu said something with a wry smile.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. Shao Yu is just the guard who is responsible for sending you to Sui'an City. You don't deserve such words. I can understand it, but I am not sure that His Majesty of our dynasty can accept it. So I am afraid that Your Highness will have to speed up his journey from now on. Otherwise, if you delay the time, I am afraid there will be more troubles here."
