Sure enough, the next moment Gu Linchao said calmly, "Tingyun, although you won the top prize in this martial arts competition and were appointed as a military officer by the Emperor, you have no military merit. Recently, the court received a memorial from local officials that bandits are rampant in the Kunhu Mountain area and requested the court to send troops to suppress them."
I am now giving you this opportunity to wipe them out. Tomorrow, you will select one hundred men and head to Kunhu Mountain to suppress the bandits.
Wen Tingyun felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water from head to toe, leaving her feeling chilled to the bone.
He had just been appointed as a military commander, and now he was about to lead troops to suppress the bandits. Gu Linchao was definitely doing this on purpose, just because that brat Wen Nongnong complained to him.
Wen Tingyun had a toothache, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, "Yes, this subordinate guarantees to complete the mission."
Gu Linchao said gently, "Yes. I have high hopes for you. When you return to the capital after suppressing the bandits, I will hold a grand banquet for you at the Ministry of War."
Wen Tingyun was not happy at all, so why did he come to the Regent's Palace today?
Wen Nong Nong's original intention was to mess with Wen Ting Yun, but she never expected that the court would actually take such a serious action.
Thinking that her second brother would be sent to suppress bandits tomorrow, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She seems to have gone too far.
She glanced at Gu Linchao, about to plead for mercy, but he gave her a reassuring look.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong shut her mouth.
Gu Linchao is not the kind of person who acts on a whim or recklessly. Since he has made this arrangement, he must have his reasons.
With that thought, she felt relieved.
It was already noon, and Gu Linchao asked Wen Tingyun to stay at the Prince's residence for lunch.
Wen Tingyun did not refuse this time.
After lunch, Gu Linchao summoned Wen Tingyun to his study.
The two talked in the study for a long time, and their conversation had just ended when Wen Nongnong brought in tea and snacks.
However, she vaguely heard Gu Linchao talking to her about strategy.
Wen Tingyun sat for a while longer before getting up to take her leave.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong said to Gu Linchao, "Your Highness, I'll go see my second brother off."
Gu Linchao glanced at her, stood up, and said gently, "Let's go together."
Wen Nong Nong glanced at him in surprise.
He actually wants to accompany me to see my second brother off?
If it were an ordinary family, it wouldn't be a problem, but he was the regent of the current dynasty, with a noble status and countless affairs to attend to every day. In addition, he was not a very warm-hearted person.
Therefore, Wen Nongnong was quite surprised when he suggested that they go together to see Wen Tingyun off.
Wen Tingyun was equally flattered; at this moment, he finally understood how Gu Linchao's brother-in-law felt.
Unexpectedly, one day Gu Linchao would actually give it to him.
Wen Tingyun felt a little lightheaded, as if she were dreaming.
Once outside the mansion gate, taking advantage of Gu Linchao's inattention, he slipped a letter into Wen Nongnong's hand.
Wen Nongnong calmly put away the letter, then instructed, "Second Brother, you must be careful when you go to suppress the bandits this time, and pay attention to your safety."
"I know." Wen Tingyun felt a warmth in her heart.
However, the warmth in his heart did not last long before he heard Wen Nongnong say again, "Second brother, if you can't beat them, run away. Don't try to fight them head-on. Your life is more important."
Wen Tingyun's lips twitched. Was this girl really not here to humiliate him?
The fight hasn't even started yet, and you're talking as if he's bound to lose.
Fearing she might say something unlucky, he quickly waved his hand, "Alright, I'm going back now, you can go in too." With that, he hurriedly mounted his horse and rode away.
Watching him walk away, Wen Nongnong followed Gu Linchao inside.
Although she had just said some unpleasant things, she was actually still a little worried.
