Chapter 379: Bad News After

Zheng Deli realized what was happening, he wanted to beat up Luo Yuan, but Luo Yuan was also very fast and ran away without a trace.

As a result, the entire training ground was filled with Zheng Deli's voice scolding Luo Yuan. When Wei Lun and Ni Yang, who were patrolling the camp, heard it, they shook their heads and said.

"Luo Yuan is such a troublesome kid, he always has to tease Old Zheng and make him quarrel."

"The general is a calm person. How come Luo Yuan has been with the general for many years but still has this annoying personality?"

"I think it's because he doesn't have a wife. If he were to marry a teacher who is strict and strict, or one who is strict with rules, I'm afraid that three months of training would produce better results than our three years of hard training."

As soon as Wei Lun said this, Ni Yang also laughed.

Life in the military camp can be said to be boring, after all, there is not much to do except training soldiers and learning various battle formations. But it can also be said to be interesting, with hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, there are all kinds of scenes to be seen!

Especially in the army, there are a lot of funny people like Luo Yuan, so the days go by quickly.

Little did they know that the simple days they spent here would soon be gone with the passing of Old Madam Gu.

The Crown Prince and Prime Minister Guo both came to the commander-in-chief's tent.

Both of them looked unhappy, especially Prime Minister Guo. His eyes were red and he looked very dusty. It was obvious that he had just received the news and sent it over immediately, not wanting to pass it on to others.

When Gu Shaoyu heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief.

But the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Guo were not crazy and would not deceive people with such news. Therefore, it only took a moment for them to go from disbelief to belief and then to disbelief.

Then he collapsed halfway and sat on the ground, looking very pitiful. Seeing this, the prince sighed and said.

"Shao Yu, if you can't help crying, just cry a little. Grandfather and I will go out. If you hold it in like this, it will make us worried."

The prince had good intentions, but sometimes when he was extremely heartbroken he just couldn't cry. He felt depressed, as if he had been hit by a wake-up call.

When Old Madam Gu was around, she was the pillar of support in Gu Shaoyu's heart!

For so many years, he had been trying to take care of her, but he never expected that the tragedy of "a son wanting to take care of his parents but their parents are no longer around" would happen to him. When he left, his grandmother looked very angry, but now, they are gone forever?

He didn't know how to express the powerlessness and sadness in his heart, so he could only remain silent, his eyes becoming red.

By the time Prime Minister Guo and the prince saw him, there was already a mist in front of him, but he didn't even utter a single cry. Such silent tears are truly something to sigh at.

After a long while, Gu Shaoyu calmed down. After he stood up, his face and expression had calmed down. Then he spoke to the two people in front of him.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Guo, my grandmother passed away suddenly, and I must return to Jinling City to attend the funeral. I don't know when I will be able to return. According to the rules, I have to mourn for a year after my ancestors passed away. The affairs of the court are easy to handle, but I am afraid that the Fourth Prince and his party will learn that I am leaving and will be ready to make a move."

His words were exactly what the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Guo were worried about.

Although the guards of the Eastern Palace were carefully selected, being able to protect the Eastern Palace does not mean that they can protect all the forces that have defected to the Eastern Palace. Apart from anything else, a few thousand guards of the prince cannot stop tens of thousands of iron hooves.

Therefore, the three of them had to put aside the death of Madam Gu and discuss countermeasures before they could leave.

"This time when I go back, I will take 5,000 with me, as well as Luo Yuan and Ni Yang. The rest can be led by Zheng Deli and Wei Lun, and they will obey orders."

"The twelve lieutenants in the Tiger Guards are all capable men. With the prince's decree, it will be no problem to mobilize 50,000 men. During the time I'm in Jinling City, they will also protect the peace of Sui'an City. However, the two-hour journey is a bit far. If something really happens, I'm afraid that distant water cannot quench nearby fires, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Guo Xiang understood what he meant, and said to Gu Shaoyu with admiration.

"I understand what Shao Yu means. If something really happens, we will just abandon Sui'an City and lead the Tiger Guards south."

The prince was not stupid. If he still didn't understand after hearing this, then his role as regent for so many years was fake, so he opened his mouth and spoke.

"But Sui'an City is the capital of our Daxing. If we give it up like this, wouldn't it be a waste of money for them?"

"Your Highness, you don't know that Sui'an City was just a remote place back then. If Emperor Kaizong hadn't wanted to intimidate those scattered soldiers in the northern border, he wouldn't have settled here. Jinling City is our root, so it's only natural for us to turn back."

"And with Shao Yu making arrangements over there, we will be able to get there more smoothly."

Guo Xiang spoke passionately, because his ancestors had been from Jinling City for generations, so there was nothing wrong with going back.

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

But the prince had grown up in Sui'an City since he could remember, so naturally he found it difficult to leave this place. In the end, Gu Shaoyu spoke up.

"Your Highness and Prime Minister Guo, don't think too much. It doesn't have to be this way. It's just a path. A year is not a long time, and we don't necessarily have to go that far! If it is legitimate, no one would choose to go down the path of the underworld, right?"

He was not in Sui'an City for most of the year, but the Fourth Prince has been very prominent. With the support of Wei Taiwei's family, he now seems to have deployed many people in the court.

That's why Gu Shaoyu made these arrangements.

His words made the prince feel much more relieved, and he then said to Gu Shaoyu.

"Shao Yu has made a very good arrangement. Five thousand is too few. I will report to my father and order him to send fifty thousand to Jinling City. The reason is that these Tiger Soldiers need to learn the skills of the navy. It's only a year, and the political situation will not change much."

Although he didn't want to leave, he couldn't ignore the concerns of Guo Xiang and Gu Shaoyu, so he decided to prepare for both situations.

After hearing the prince's arrangement, Prime Minister Guo felt very relieved, so he said to the prince.

"It's not necessarily legitimate to learn about the navy's skills. It would be better to use the excuse of thoroughly investigating the tax evasion of sea and canal shipping when telling His Majesty. Once His Majesty agrees, we can use this excuse to announce it to the public. In this way, even if someone wants to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty in the future, we will have a way out."
