Invincible son

Chapter 424 423 [Westbound]

"Hahahahahaha!"

A burst of hearty laughter startled the fallen leaves on the eaves.

Gu Fan, who left in the morning, unexpectedly returned to the main store of Xiangyun Company, and before entering the door, Gu Zhen and Tao Hua's laughter pierced through the eardrums of Gu Zhen and Tao Hua.The two were worried for a long time, and neither of them were good at regulating emotions, so the atmosphere in the hall was naturally very sad.

Gu Zhen frowned, and immediately after Gu Fan entered the door, she said with a straight face: "Brother, what makes you so happy?"

Seeing this, Gu Fan knew that the little girl had misunderstood, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, brother, I have good news for you."

Gu Zhen raised her brows with joy, and no longer minded Gu Fan's rashness before, she asked nervously and expectantly: "But the news about Brother Yue?"

Gu Fan went to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, poured it down, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, listen to Brother Wei and tell you slowly. I went to the Xiangguo Mansion in the morning, although our father and The Marquis of Xiangcheng doesn't have a deep friendship, but the old family's love is still there, so Xiao Jin's elder brother agreed to contact some family friends to help Pei Yue support the situation. When you hear the news, guess what?"

Gu Zhen gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that it was because Sister Ye was not here, otherwise she would have to beat up this incomprehensible fourth brother.

Gu Fan understood her character and knew that she was really in a hurry, so he quickly said: "Pei Yue is safe and sound! Don't worry! Today in the court, the old firecracker Liu Daxia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is responsible for the unfavorable war in the western region. Push it on Pei Yue, asking His Majesty to dismiss him and ask him for his crimes. Do you think this old Pao Zong took the wrong medicine? He has nothing to do with our Wu Xun, when will it be his turn to discuss Wu Xun's official position?"

"Huh? Minister of the Ministry of War?" Tao Hua was startled and opened her mouth wide.

In her perception, Shang Shu is an indomitable official, not to mention Shang Shu of the Ministry of War, even such a person has to embarrass the young master, this is really...

She silently clenched her small fists, as if she wanted to fight that old man and official.

Since Gu Zhen knew that Pei Yue was fine, she naturally wouldn't worry too much, and she also asked Shen Danmo to learn about the court structure in the past two years, and she knew that the Minister of the Ministry of War was just bluffing, but in fact he didn't have much power.She rolled Gu Fan's eyes and said: "Brother, my little sister didn't know that you have the ability to tell stories."

Gu Fan laughed, sat down and said: "Old Liu Pao Zhan's proposal was blocked by Wei Guogong on the spot. This is not over yet, that old man of Fengcheng Marquis actually jumped out and said that Pei Yue has no talent, and asked His Majesty to dismiss him from the military post." , and asked Pei Yue to defend the city at the most dangerous Nanshan Army Stronghold. I think this old guy is really tired of working, and sooner or later I will cut off his head with my own hands!"

Gu Zhen said helplessly: "Brother, can you say these words indiscriminately? You can't bring trouble on Daddy."

"That's all, let's let his head stay on his neck for a while. At that time, apart from Li Bingzhong, more than a dozen ministers jumped out, and they all wanted to attack Pei Yue and force His Majesty to dismiss him from the military." The more Gu Fan talked, the angrier he became, and he slapped the table with his palm.

Taohua asked miserably: "Master Gu, why did they treat my young master like this?"

Gu Fan sighed lightly: "Your young master is indeed too capable. He already has many enemies, and he is in charge of Zang Fengwei, the emperor's personal guard. Can you not make people jealous?"

Tao Hua didn't quite understand, she just thought those people were too hateful, the young master suffered so much to achieve today's achievement, what has it to do with them?
Gu Zhen asked: "Then what happened later? But His Majesty refuted their opinion?"

At this time, Gu Fan showed a touch of respect, straightened his body and said: "It's not Your Majesty, it's Mo Haoli, who is in charge of the left, scolding these people in court, and calling them a bunch of bastards, scolding them happily! Then the Hongling messenger directly entered Gong Zou reported that the northern line of the western region had achieved a great victory in Xishan! Pei Yue led the Tibetan front guards, and together with Tang Youzhi, the commander of the Longbow Camp, Ji Ning Hou, fought against General Xie Lin of Xiwu Town near Xishan Military Village. Back and forth Afterwards, more than 6 enemies were wiped out! Then Xie Lin claimed to be the third most famous general of Western Wu, but he was beaten to death, and returned to Western Wu with tens of thousands of defeated soldiers! Hahahahaha!"

Tao Hua cheered for joy when she heard the words, and a bright smile appeared on her face instantly.

Gu Zhen doesn't show her heart like she does, but the worry that has been pent up for a long time is swept away in her eyes, her hands that have been tightly clenched all the time unknowingly let go, she exhales lightly, and her face becomes peaceful and gentle .

She remembered something, and asked again: "Why didn't these two battle reports come at the same time?"

Gu Fan replied: "The two battles did not start at the same time. Lu Min, the Marquis of Cheng'an, fought with the Western Wu people first, and after he was defeated, he sent the battle report back to the capital, and even implicated Pei Yue in the battle report. This guy is not a good guy. The war on the northern line broke out two days late, and then the news was sent back to Kyoto as soon as possible, but the journey to the north is longer, so it was so late."

"I see."

Gu Zhen nodded slightly, and the skin on her face became more radiant. She thought of the young man far away in the western region, and his funny face involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Gu Fan continued: "You don't know that the officials who attacked Pei Yue before were all terrified after hearing the news. If it weren't for the adults in the two houses who were too lazy to deal with them, I'm afraid they would have let them go. Out of court."

"Why?" Peach Blossom asked puzzled.

These people obviously have bad intentions and maliciously attack their young master. Can such people continue to be high officials?

Facing Taohua's suspicious eyes, Gu Fan shook his head and said: "You don't understand, some things in this world are just like this, not everyone is as happy as your young master, even His Majesty just reprimanded them severely and punished them." It’s just half a year’s salary. Leaving aside this matter for the time being, that Marquis of Jining will probably be promoted again this time, even if your young master returns to Beijing now, at least an earl is waiting for him.”

"Will there still be wars in the western region? When will Brother Yue come back?" Gu Zhen asked.

Gu Fan frowned slightly, he didn't know how to answer this question.

"I still want to fight."

A peaceful voice suddenly came from outside, and then a middle-aged man walked into the main hall.

The three juniors in the hall got up quickly, and Gu Fan, who was always wanton, saluted respectfully: "Mr. Xi, why are you here?"

Mr. Xi waved his hand to signal them not to be too polite, and said to Gu Fan: "Wang Yong is watching over Shouyang Mountain, Qi Min is watching over the mansion, and several other young people are also very capable. You need to pay attention, Sun Qi's powerful children and the three chief shopkeepers have no problem doing things, but the overall situation cannot be left in the hands of others."

Gu Fan heard what he meant, and said in surprise, "Sir, are you leaving?"

Mr. Xi nodded slightly, with a deeper meaning in his eyes than they could understand, and said calmly, "I'm going to the west."

Gu Zhen knew the importance of Mr. Xi to Pei Yue, but for some reason, she consciously told her that something terrible might happen to this unfathomable gentleman going to the west this time.

Mr. Xi looked at Gu Zhen, seeing her transparent eyes, he couldn't help being slightly surprised, and then said softly: "You don't have to worry, I'm going to help Pei Yue this time, and I still have some private matters to deal with. You stay at ease in the capital, he Will definitely return safely."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Gu Fan again, nodded slightly at him, then turned and left.
