Chapter 226: The Minister of War’s Thoughts…
The imperial capital of Dayu Dynasty...
General Gu Yiheng, who was living in the post house, was changing his clothes. It was now five o'clock in the morning, and Gu Yiheng was going to meet General Fu Shan of the Dayu Dynasty.
He took off his moon-white robe, and Gu Yiheng directly took a navy blue robe and prepared to put it on. General Gu's back was strong and charming. His broad back and thin waist formed an "inverted triangle" with a golden ratio... At this moment, Gu Yiheng looked like a beautiful statue...
Gu Yiheng's skin as white as jade, set off by the navy blue robe, made his already beautiful face look even more extraordinary.
When the soldier who brought the meal came in, General Gu had returned to his previous state of being paralyzed and unable to move. He had become very skilled at pretending to be a patient. The secret guard Xiu Ba fed the general.
As soon as the soldier left, General Gu sat up and took the bowl from Xiu Ba's hand. Gu Yiheng chewed the stewed meat and steamed buns in the bowl with big mouthfuls. The soldier's cooking skills were not good, and while eating, Gu Yiheng missed the delicious barbecue and home-cooked dishes he had eaten with his wife.
His eyes were flashing with longing and melancholy. Last night, Gu Yiheng dreamed that he was holding his little daughters Tian'er and Ye Jiu for an outing. The whole family was happy. After waking up, Gu Yiheng looked at the empty house and pursed his lips unhappily.
Gu Yiheng didn't expect that he would stay in Dayu Dynasty for so long this time. He was looking forward to seeing General Gu returning to Southern Wilderness, and he began to fall into deep thought.
"General, Lord Fu is waiting outside."
The soldier who entered the room looked respectfully at General Gu who was slumped in the chair. The secret guard was holding a large ceramic bowl containing food in his hand.
Gu Yiheng said weakly:
"Please ask him to come in and sit down..."
The soldier said "yes" and retreated.
When he walked out, he couldn't help feeling regretful. General Gu was the former god of war of Dayu. Look at him now, slumped pitifully in the chair. General Gu couldn't even move his hands and feet. He had to rely on the secret guards to feed him with a bowl when he wanted to eat. He was really pitiful.
The soldier walked up to General Fu, bowed to the black-armored General Fu, and said:
"General Fu... General Gu invites you to come in and talk... Please..."
Fu Shan was wearing a black robe today, with a silver belt around his waist. With his wheat-colored skin and thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked quite heroic.
After listening to the report from the soldier, Fu Shan strode into the house. As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Yiheng slumped in the chair. His face still looked the same as before, but Gu Yiheng was not in good spirits, and his eyes were half open and half closed.
"General Fu is here, please take a seat..."
Gu Yiheng's words were so weak that even the white dragon in his sea of consciousness complained that his master was so hypocritical.
Fu Shan walked to the armchair opposite Gu Yiheng and sat down. He exchanged a few words with General Gu.
He fell silent for a rare moment, and Fu Shan was thinking about how to talk to Gu Yiheng about leading his troops to the Northern Wilderness.
Fu Shan felt that he could not ask a paralytic to lead troops to fight, but the Minister of War asked him to bring a message to Gu Yiheng, so he had to come.
Fu Shan's head began to hurt. He was a general with a conscience. After thinking for a while, Fu Shan reluctantly told Gu Yiheng what the Minister of War had asked him to come and talk to General Gu.
General Gu smiled...
His face with its exotic beauty made him look like a banished immortal in that smile, which almost stunned Fu Shan.
Gu Yiheng said:
"Thank you, General Fu. I will be leaving for the Northern Wasteland tomorrow. I wonder how many troops the Ministry of War wants me to take with me?"
Fu Shan thought for a moment and said:
"I heard that there were 50,000 elite soldiers. When you arrived in the Northern Wasteland, you and the besieged General Zhao worked together to break the enemy's formation..."
General Gu nodded to indicate that he understood.
Fu Shan took out a tiger talisman and handed it to Gu Yiheng. The secret guard Xiu Ba stepped forward, took the tiger talisman and put it in General Gu's arms.
Gu Yiheng smiled and said to Fu Shan:
"It's rare that you're here, don't leave yet, let's have a drink..."
Fu Shan waved his hands to refuse repeatedly. He didn't want to see Gu Yiheng being fed pitifully.
He stood up and said goodbye...
The secret guard Xiu Qi escorted him out.
After Gu Yiheng waited for him to leave, he reached out and took out the bronze tiger talisman. His eyes were cold. It was obvious that this bunch of old men in the Imperial Capital wanted him to go to the Northern Wilderness to die.
He whispered a few words to the secret guard Xiu Ba, who went out to call in two secret guards, and he left the inn...
Clear skies...
The old locust tree in the yard of the post station rustled. A local dog lay lazily under the tree, with boredom flashing in its eyes.
