Jimo Qiao came out of the room after delivering things to his mother. Just as he was passing by the study, he suddenly heard his father's voice that was different from before.
"Brother Zhengbang, how could you do such a thing? I...you..."
Jimoshu's voice seemed very angry and anxious, which immediately aroused Jimo Qiao's curiosity.
It's strange, why is dad angry with Commander Gu? Aren't they always very friendly and friendly? Jimo Qiao thought to himself.
Driven by curiosity, Jimo Qiao tiptoed to a window in the study room and quietly eavesdropped on what was going on.
In the study, Jimoshu was so angry that he walked around. From time to time he would stop and look angrily at Gu Zhengbang, then point at him and say "You, you, you..."
Jimo Qiao was very puzzled and secretly wondered, what could make his father so angry? Could it be that something big happened in the court?
As soon as he thought of this, Jimo Qiao shook his head, thinking that was wrong, his father had already resigned, so there was no reason for Commander Gu to talk to his father about court affairs again?
At this moment, Gu Zhengbang's voice came from the study.
"Brother Shu, don't be angry first. Just listen to me and explain to you slowly, okay..."
Gu Zhengbang was unwilling to listen, and interrupted loudly: "Brother Zhengbang, you have already sent Chai Yan to the front line of Muyue Kingdom. Do you think I can stop being angry? Can you?"
Jimo Qiao was immediately frightened and quickly covered his mouth with his hands, fearing that he might accidentally scream.
What's going on? Is my brother-in-law going to the front line of Muyue Kingdom?
But didn’t the emperor’s imperial edict come out very early in the morning? Why is this happening?
Also, why did dad say that Commander Gu sent his brother-in-law there?
Doesn’t Commander Gu like and trust his brother-in-law the most?
At this time, Jimo Qiao had questions one after another, but none of them could be answered.
With all kinds of questions, Jimo Qiao continued to stand under the study window, wanting to hear what the two people in the room would say next.
Soon, I heard Gu Zhengbang say: "Brother Shu, you should know very well that no one except Chai Yan can complete this matter, so the emperor has no choice but to do it!"
"You have no choice but to do so? Is there such a last resort?" Jimoshu said angrily: "Since the emperor wants Chai Yan to go to Qingyuan Pass, why do you still want to marry You'er? How dangerous is Qingyuan Pass?
Don't you have any idea in your mind? Gu Zhengbang, if something happens to Chai Yan, how should you explain it to my daughter, how should I explain it to my daughter? How will my daughter feel? Have you not considered it at all?
?”
After saying these words, Jimoshu began to walk back and forth in the study again.
Although Jimo Qiao didn't know where Qingyuan Pass was, she judged from the words and her father's fierce reaction that this matter must be very dangerous.
Gu Zhengbang advised: "Brother Shu, why don't you sit down and calm down for a while? You're walking around like this, and I'm even dizzy from you."
"Have a faint! Hurry up and I won't be able to hold you back until I knock you out!" Jimoshu said angrily.
When Gu Zhengbang heard this, he stood up, opened his arms slightly, and said calmly: "Come on, brother Shu, you can do it. If I knock you out, I can relieve your anger and calm you down. I am willing to accept this."
You're guilty! Come on, fight..."
Jimoshu was made to laugh and cry. He was so angry that he pointed at Gu Zhengbang, shook his head helplessly and said: "You, you, you... you are just a scoundrel!"
Seeing that Jimo Shu didn't take action, Gu Zhengbang sat down again and said, "Brother Shu, since you don't take action, just listen to what I have to say..."
Jimoshu stopped talking and stood with his back facing Gu Zhengbang, his chest rising and falling.
Gu Zhengbang said: "Brother Shu, you should still remember the miraculous effects of those green beans that Chai Yan gave you, right?"
Jimoshu naturally remembered very clearly that as long as ordinary people take the green beans, they will instantly become extremely powerful and indestructible. It is no exaggeration to say that one person can withstand thousands of troops!
The next moment, Gu Zhengbang said again: "Brother Shu, the Amohahar Mountains divide Muyue Kingdom into north and south parts. Only the Qingyuan Pass in the middle can pass through. At present, most of the northern part of Muyue Kingdom has been occupied by Piz.
The country was engulfed, only near the Qingyuan Pass
A very small number of lands are still resisting tenaciously, but you and I both know that these lands will soon be invaded by the Pitz Kingdom! Then next, the Pitz Army will attack the Qingyuan Pass, and then further expand their invasion
act........"
When Gu Zhengbang said this, he deliberately paused, his tone fell, and he said very seriously: "Then, the people of Piz will rely on the protection of Qingyuan Pass and send their troops southward, directly towards the border of our Sheng Kingdom!"
These words made Jimoshu tremble and his body immediately turned around. He wanted to refute Gu Zhengbang, but he could not speak because Jimosu knew very well in his heart that these were facts and he had no way to refute!
Gu Zhengbang stood up slowly, walked slowly towards Jimosu, looked into his eyes and said: "Brother Shu, let me ask you, if you were me, how would you make a decision? Let thousands of innocent people in the north wait.
Should we be ravaged by the Pitz Kingdom's cavalry, or should we block the Pitz Kingdom's invasion earlier?"
Jimo Shu had no way to refute, and he knew very well in his heart that Gu Zhengbang was right. If the Muyue people did not hold the Qingyuan Pass, then the northern border of the Sheng Kingdom in the future would be the northern border of the Muyue Kingdom today.
"But... But since you want Chai Yan to go to Qingyuan Pass, why do you still ask the emperor to marry them at this time? Are you worried about something?" Jimoshu couldn't help but think more.
Gu Zhengbang solemnly said: "Brother Shu, I know what you are thinking? But things are not what you think. The emperor and I definitely did not plan it. In fact, the emperor had already written the imperial edict of marriage, but it was never revealed to anyone.
As for the purpose of delivering the order today, it’s just that two things collided...Brother Shu, please believe me!"
Jimoshu didn't answer and kept frowning.
Gu Zhengbang continued: "Brother Shu, you should know better than anyone else what kind of person I am. My life was saved by Chai Yan, so it is impossible for me to harm him, just without dispatching Shengguo's army."
Next time we have to defend the Qingyuan Pass, we have no other choice but Chai Yan!"
"Having said that, what should my daughter do if something happens? Also, how should I explain to my daughter about Chai Yan's trip to Muyue Kingdom?" Jimoshu felt very conflicted.
Gu Zhengbang said with great confidence: "Brother Zhengbang, I have great confidence in Chai Yan, so you must also believe in Chai Yan. With Chai Yan's ability, he will definitely be able to return safely this time and help Mu Yue Kingdom defend Qingyuan."
Pass, to protect the peaceful life of the people in the north."
"Alas!" Jimoshu sighed heavily, shook his head and said, "I can't explain the truth to you. I'm just worried now. How will You'er react after knowing this?"
Gu Zhengbang said: "Brother Shu, I know you are in a difficult situation. Why don't you let me speak for you? I believe Miss You will understand the righteousness and express her understanding!"
"No, please give me some time to think carefully about how to talk to You'er." Jimoshu shook his head and refused.
Gu Zhengbang nodded slowly and said nothing more.
Seeing that the study became quiet, Jimo Qiao quickly left quietly. After walking far away, he ran all the way to his sister's yard.
After running to Yuanyuan's yard, Jimo Qiao rushed into Yuanyuan's room in a hurry.
"What's wrong, Qiaoer, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Yuan Yuan asked, not knowing why.
Jimo Qiao didn't answer, but closed and bolted the door first, and then pulled the confused Yuan into the inner room of the house.
"What are you doing, Qiaoer? You're so flustered, as if you've lost your soul..." Yuan said again.
Jimo Qiao swallowed his breath and said anxiously in a suppressed voice: "Sorry, sister, just now I secretly heard Commander Gu telling his father that the emperor wanted... to send his brother-in-law to Muyue Kingdom.
Go and guard that Qingyuan Pass!"
Yuan Yuan was shocked when he heard the news and froze on the spot.
