Chapter 214

The Wei family put all their efforts into entrusting him to the throne, and the girl from the Wei family naturally became the queen.

But the good times didn't last long, and he was especially dissatisfied after becoming the emperor. He was jealous of the military power in the hands of the Wei family, and gradually showed his fangs.

He united with the Ning family to suppress the Wei family, not to mention, he also designed to frame the Wei family for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and finally ransacked the whole family of the Wei family!

A generation of gods will perish.

Seeing his sad face, Gu Yao couldn't bear to ask more questions, so he told Xu Shun to move a marching chair, and asked Murong Qing, who was hunched over, to sit down.

Murong Qing didn't refuse either, the two sat together and chatted like old friends.

"It's been more than ten years since the farewell back then, and General Gu's demeanor remains the same as before!"

Murong Qing sighed very much, remembering that when he was on an envoy to Jianan with the general, after meeting Gu Yao, he felt very congenial, and he also talked at night at the post station while holding candles.

Gu Yao also sighed, he laughed at himself, and waved at Murong Qing.

"It can't be done, Gu Yao is getting old."

He glanced in the direction of the camp surrounded by guns and live ammunition, and looked away after a while.

"Nowadays it is the world of young people. If my granddaughter hadn't been for this old bone of mine, I'm afraid it would have been buried in the northwest months ago."

Gu Yao chuckled, with pride in his words, which made Murong Qing very curious.

"But the little girl just now?" he asked.

"Martial arts are indeed extraordinary, surpassing that of General Wei back then." He sincerely praised.

Although he could only see a black figure from a distance, looking at Ning Zongyuan who was lying half dead on the ground at this time, he knew that this girl's martial arts was definitely above the general's.

"The Gu family is full of talents, the general is blessed!"

When Gu Yao heard that he compared his granddaughter with Old General Wei, he didn't even dare to say it, but he was happy in his heart.

"She is still young and still needs some setbacks to grow up. Brother Murong, please don't let her hear your words, otherwise this girl will become even more lawless in the future."

Having said that, Gu Yao's tone was full of indulgence, as if showing off, and he explained in detail how she subdued Xihu in the northwest.

Murong Qing was a little dazed when he heard the words, he didn't know what he thought of, his eyes showed nostalgia.

"Your girl looks quite like an old general Wei." He sighed.

I think back when the general was in charge of the Weiyang Army, he also had the same defensive temperament that would not take any losses. If someone hurt someone or something he cared about, he would definitely hit him with his fist.

On the battlefield, he was just like Gu Nanyan, who never knew what fear was, if he could beat him, he would fight, if he couldn't beat him, he would fight hard!

"According to what you said, the old man is becoming more and more curious about your granddaughter. I wonder if there is a chance to meet her this time."

Murong Qing looked at the quiet tent with a smile, as if yearning very much.

Gu Yao paused when he heard the words, but for some reason he didn't answer him.

Murong Qing didn't care, and chatted with him about the situation in Anyang Kingdom.

"Now the emperor is seriously ill and has not shown up for nearly two months. The fourth prince is acting as the agent of the government."

Murong Qing looked at Ning Zongyuan who was lying unconscious on the ground, and smiled mockingly.

"This thief has controlled Weiyang's army for many years without any achievements. This time, he persuaded the fourth prince to send him to the expedition. He wanted to make a great contribution to stabilize his position. Who would want to fall into your hands? When the news comes back, many people may fall asleep. It's not stable anymore."

The fourth prince's biggest reliance is Ning Zongyuan, if he knows that he has been captured, he will be upset.

Murong Qing was very happy in his heart.

He is a native of Anyang, and he was once a famous General Weiyuan.

But his loyalty to the emperor died more than ten years ago.

Now that he is still alive, he just wants to see with his own eyes what kind of retribution the person who killed the general will get.

"Fourth prince?"

Gu Yao frowned. He had long heard that the prince's identity existed in name only, and he had been imprisoned in the East Palace and hadn't shown up for many years.

"I don't know something about this old man." He asked doubtfully.

"Since Emperor Anyang didn't like the crown prince so much, why didn't he just abolish the crown prince and send him away from afar, and just keep him locked up all year round, it's really puzzling."

Murong Qing smiled wryly: "What's so puzzling, the prince has done nothing for many years and has no faults, even if the emperor wants to abolish him, he can't find an excuse."

Back then, the founding emperor made a rule that the prince should not be abolished easily if there was no serious fault.

On the one hand, this rule guarantees the stability of the imperial court, and prevents those who have evil intentions from acting easily.

The second is to prevent the royal brothers from fighting against each other for the throne and causing chaos.

If the emperor broke the rules and insisted on abolishing the prince, he would be labeled as unfilial by the censor at any time.

How could the emperor, who had always claimed to be a wise king, allow himself to be so infamous in the history books!
"Then it can't be done like this. Waiting for the crown prince to succeed after a hundred years of Emperor Anyang, wouldn't it be counterproductive?"

Gu Yao still didn't understand, his personality was the same as Gu Nanyan's, he couldn't bear those twists and turns, so he didn't bother to think about it, so he simply asked.

"Succession?" Murong Qing sarcastically.

"I'm afraid the prince is not as long-lived as that."

When Gu Yao heard this, he instantly understood what he meant.

There have always been rumors among the people that the prince is weak and suffers from serious diseases all the year round, and he has been tried by famous doctors all over the world but has not been able to cure him.

It's just that it's hard to say whether this disease is a real disease or whether it was intentionally caused by someone with a heart.

Gu Yao seemed to feel sorry for the prince, and sighed deeply.

To say that this prince is also a pitiful person, he has never seen the outside world since he was four years old, and can only live in the East Palace, living his life in a daze.

He remembered how old General Wei had tirelessly taught him how to use troops, and he couldn't help feeling pity for this child with his blood.

"Is there no other way to release the prince?"

If his body is really so poor, maybe he won't live for a few more years.

How desolate it would be if a person could not get out of the cage until he died.

"Unless someone breaks into the palace and rescues him. Otherwise..."

Murong Qing shook his head: "Neither the Ning family nor that one will let him go."

Gu Shen responded in silence, his eyes glanced over Gu Nanyan's tent thoughtfully.

Murong Qing didn't know what he was thinking, and slowly got up while leaning on the back of the chair.

"I came here today just to catch up with you. It's getting late now. General Gu has suffered a lot of injuries and should take a good rest. I won't bother you."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands towards Gu Yao, and started to leave.

Gu Yao hurriedly asked him to stay.

"Staying in the Weiyang army is nothing more than humiliation for you now. Why don't you just stay in Jianan country. The old man will find a place for you to retire and save you from being angry in the army."

Murong Qing smiled gratefully when he heard the words, then waved his hands and said: "How can you bother the general, I have been in the Weiyang Army for most of my life, it has already become a habit, it doesn't matter if I get angry or not."

Seeing Gu Yao's face of disapproval, he smiled heartily.

"Don't worry, general, the old man still has many former colleagues in the army who have taken good care of me and won't suffer."

Military generals have always cherished each other, and he understands Gu Yao's kindness, but he still has unfinished business, so how can he leave just like that.

Seeing that he was really unwilling, Gu Yao sighed and didn't force it anymore.

Gu Yao got up, wanting to say goodbye to him, after all, after this time, I don't know if there will be a chance to see him again.

As soon as he raised his arm, before he could say the word take care, he saw the kamikaze team guarding outside the tent move.

They spread out quickly, leaving a passage at the door.

It was already late at night, Gu Nanyan wiped the sweat from his brow, took the veil handed over by Ashlan and wiped his face.

Seeing her coming out, Gu Yao hurriedly went up to her and asked nervously:

"How is your elder brother?"

Gu Nanyan took two mouthfuls of cold water, took a breath before turning to face Gu Yao.

"The current situation is stable, but it still needs to be observed for a few days. It is best not to move him during this period."

She glanced around, and was just about to say that she would camp here for a few days, when she saw an old man with a white beard staggering towards her.

Murong Qing looked at Gu Nanyan's face in shock, and pointed at her with trembling fingers as old as dead branches.

"Emperor, empress..."
