Chapter 327 Betting
"Don't tell me, do you think that there is no one in my great achievement?"
As Shen Hechuan spoke, he raised his voice, which was quite intimidating.
The two men stared at each other from a long distance, both seeing anger in each other's eyes, and neither of them gave in at all.
Until, the trembling voice of a little eunuch came over.
"Your Majesty, Miss Gu requests an audience."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hechuan withdrew his gaze, and a smile instantly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Pass quickly."
The ministers in front looked at each other with dissatisfaction and grumbled in low voices.
"What is she doing here?"
"She is just a woman, without even a proper status, yet she dares to come to the court. Does she want to interfere in government affairs?"
"That's ridiculous!"
The ministers were discussing in a low voice, and when Shen Hechuan heard these words, his expression changed instantly.
Mo Junxing, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, snorted coldly and raised his eyebrows silently at Chen Hechuan.
Soon, Gu Jingchun came up slowly with a tray.
She walked to the middle of the crowd, slowly bent down, and before she knelt, she heard Shen Hechuan say, "No need to be polite. Miss Gu, if you have anything to say, you can just say it."
Gu Jingchun nodded immediately, raised the tray in his hand and said:
"Your Majesty, I made a few small things in my spare time. I think they could be used in our army and might be more beneficial in combat."
"So, I came here specially to present it to Your Majesty."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, all the ministers present laughed at him.
"Oh!"
"What a joke! How can something made by a woman like you be of any use in the war?"
"Do you want to sew flowers on the soldiers' armor?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Chen Hechuan looked surprised, glared at them fiercely, and scolded:
"My dear ministers, isn't it a bit premature to say this before you've even seen anything?"
However, the person who just spoke was a military general named Li Yunba, who also followed Emperor Rongcheng to conquer the world.
He is arrogant and has always respected those who speak with strength. He can't understand those who are cunning or rely on connections to get to the top.
Long before, when Chen Hechuan was defending Gu Jingchun, he was vaguely dissatisfied.
Now seeing Gu Jingchun coming over with things, he immediately guessed that this was a play between Shen Hechuan and Gu Jingchun, and that he was deliberately getting some things together to prepare a sedan chair for Gu Jingchun.
He has always disliked this kind of behavior, and even when facing Chen Hechuan, he couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.
Now, hearing Shen Hechuan's words that were clearly biased towards him, he was naturally even more dissatisfied and immediately said, "Your Majesty, your words are biased."
"Is there anything wrong with what I'm saying?"
"Since when do our Dacheng men need women's help in fighting a war?"
Such arrogant and ignorant words made Gu Jingchun instantly furious.
She turned around and looked straight at him.
"General, you keep saying that you men don't need women in war.
Then let me ask, the clothes, shoes, and armor worn by the soldiers, the repair of weapons and flags, as well as your daily food and laundry, which one does not require women?"
"I heard that during previous battles, the generals often used women to transmit intelligence and gather news."
"How come you say women are useless in war?"
"It's simply because men are naturally strong and suited to war, and women are doing their best to the best of their ability. How come the general says they're useless?"
Gu Jingchun's words instantly made the general speechless.
His face turned pale and blue, looking very ugly.
Seeing everyone around him looking at him, he couldn't help but say:
"What you said is indeed what women would do, but it's not something you would do. You can't just bring something over and point it out and claim it will be beneficial to the war."
After he finished speaking, Mo Junxing chuckled.
"You guys are really interesting!"
When he looked at what was in Gu Jingchun's hand, he had already guessed what it was. He was already dissatisfied, and now when he heard the general's words, he couldn't help but speak out.
"Luo...Gu Jingchun, look, this is the place you'd rather die to return to. The things you'd rather die to give me are not of much value to them."
"How about you just give me the things?"
After Mo Junxing finished speaking, Shen Hechuan also spoke immediately.
"Lord, my great achievements are not something you, Da Qi, can take away at will."
Mo Junxing chuckled and was about to retort.
The general snorted again and spoke.
"What a joke! Your Majesty actually put on such a show that even the monarch of Great Qi followed suit. It seems this Gu Jingchun is really quite capable!"
"However, Your Majesty, this army is not like the harem. Even if I risk being punished by you, I will never allow a woman to give me orders."
Chen Hechuan: "My dear, please wait until you have seen what Miss Gu has in her hands before making a decision."
General Li was naturally very disdainful.
"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't care about her things. If Your Majesty insists that I see them, then I'd better take my leave."
When Gu Jingchun heard this, she instantly became angry and shouted, "It seems that General Li is afraid."
General Li had a bad temper and immediately refuted what he said.
"Bullshit, I've killed countless enemies on the battlefield, how could I be afraid of a woman like you?"
Gu Jingchun chuckled.
"I think General Li is afraid that a woman like me has more stuff than your barracks, so he keeps obstructing me from taking it out."
General Li laughed when he heard this.
"Bullshit, this general clearly looks down on you!"
Gu Jingchun: "Then I might as well make a bet with the general!"
Li Yunba: "What bet?"
Gu Jingchun: "If what I offer this time can be beneficial to the war, then the general will take off his shirt, carry thorns on his back, run around Tiandu City three times, and shout, you are not as good as a woman, how about it?"
General Li chuckled when he heard this.
"What a big tone!"
"Do you know that the weapons in our camp are made by dozens, even hundreds, of craftsmen, after years of research and perfection? How can you compare with just any random thing you use?"
Gu Jingchun looked at General Li with a provocative look on his face.
"Just asking, General, do you dare to gamble?"
"good!"
General Li responded abruptly, “Today, if what you offer can really compare to what we have in the military camp.
That general would not only circle Tiandu City, but also shout, "You, Gu Jingchun, are my aunt. From now on, I, Li Yunba, will be at your disposal!"
Gu Jingchun didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain, and nodded happily.
