Chapter 599 Departure
"Could it be to plead for Gu Xiuming?"

Gu Xiuyuan touched his chin and muttered to himself.

To everyone's surprise, the next day the emperor ordered Gu Xiuming to enfeoff the land, but Gu Xiuming accepted the order calmly.

When Zheng Guogong and his wife heard the news, they were very surprised.

"I didn't expect King Cheng to agree to go to the fiefdom. It's really surprising."

"Yeah, Gu Xiuming planned to deal with me and Le'er before, and I don't know what the Li family said to him, so that Gu Xiuming changed his mind."

As Gu Xiuyuan said, he remembered the actions of the Li family before, "The Li family sent people to watch me last time, but my people found out, and the Li family didn't send people over after that, I still can't figure it out."

"Last time? When?"

"It was when Gu Xiuming had an accident, right? I remember that time when the Li family sent people to watch me, and I even checked, but I only knew that it was Li Song's order, and I didn't know anything else."

After Zheng Guogong heard this, he also began to feel strange: "Is there something wrong?"

"That's not clear. In addition, the border gate is about to move around recently, and it seems to want to invade. What the father means is to leave it to your father-in-law. This way, it will be logical to come back to everyone's attention."

Gu Xiuyuan explained the emperor's plan, and Zheng Guogong and his wife were very satisfied.

In fact, it doesn't matter if they don't come back, Zheng Guogong and his wife don't care about these, as long as the two children are well.

Ye Leyi said from the side: "Father, why don't you take Zi'an along with you? Zi'an has been practicing martial arts recently, but he has never experienced actual combat. He looks a bit ostentatious."

Zheng Guogong thought for a while, and then agreed: "Alright, Zi'an is getting older now, so it's time to go to the border for some experience."

Originally, I thought I would go to the border again after a while, but I didn't expect other countries to invade in the middle of the night. The emperor got the news and summoned Gu Xiuyuan and Zheng Guogong into the palace overnight.

"You know what's going on now, right? Other countries took advantage of the night to attack and suffered heavy losses at the border. Many of them were too late to react. You quickly went to the border with reinforcements."

The emperor did not expect that the neighboring country would choose to sneak attack, and it was still in the middle of the night.

It is also because in the middle of the night, they are all asleep, and there is no way to react quickly, so that the neighboring countries have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Gu Xiuyuan and Zheng Guogong were ordered to gather and set off quickly, and they couldn't even say goodbye to their families.

Ye Leyi and Zheng Guogong's wife only found out about it when the emperor issued a decree in the early morning of the next day, and Ye Zi'an was also taken to the border by Zheng Guogong.

A large number of hidden guards were also taken away, and the palace, which was originally not crowded, was even more empty now.

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Mrs. Zheng Guogong was worried. Although she knew that there might be a war, she didn't expect it to start so soon.

Ye Leyi didn't know what happened, but considering the emperor was in such a hurry, something big must have happened.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll send someone to inquire later."

After speaking, Ye Leyi asked the secret guard to go out to inquire. After hearing the news, Mrs. Zheng Guogong was relieved.

"It turned out that there was a war at the border. No wonder he walked so fast. I don't know if Zi'an can get used to it at the border."

Ye Zi'an grew up in the capital since she was a child, and she doesn't know many things about the border. The border is bitter and cold.
