When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 284 282 Borrowing troops is blocked
A group of people were galloping on the road towards the northern border.

Leading the way were two men on horseback, standing tall like pine trees and cypresses, dressed in generals' uniforms.

The woman riding a horse behind them had a beautiful and resolute face, like the cold moon shining on the snow, cold and proud. In front of them sat a little boy of eight or nine years old with fair skin, delicate features, clear eyes, and full of curiosity and exploration about what he saw and heard on the road.

His appearance is full of youthful vigor, and despite his young age he has a mature and steady demeanor that makes people respect him.

Protecting the mother and son was a young female general wearing a black robe, with her hair tied up in a simple bun, her face was firm and deep, and her black eyes were as calm as an ancient well, exuding fearlessness and determination.

There are also hundreds of elite soldiers...

-

"Master, there is a teahouse in front. Shall we go in and take a rest?" Han Jinyan had her black hair tied up, and her stern face was full of sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. She saw a simple teahouse on the roadside in front of her from afar, pursed her dry lips, and asked.

Gu Hua lowered his head to take a look at An An, whose lips were already chapped, and replied crisply, "Okay, let's rest here for a while and eat something."

They had been on the road since early morning and had not stopped. It was already noon and it was time to find a place to stop, eat something and rest for a while.

Gu Hua finally decided to go to Saibei.

Of the four children, only An An was with Gu Hua this time.

The other three reluctant ones, Kang Kang, Huan Huan, and the weak Le Le, were secretly sent to the Valley of Divine Doctors for their safety under the orders of Long Yi, Long Er, Long Wu, and Long Qi.

Ordinary people can't enter there, so now I can only feel at ease leaving the child with the genius doctor Gu Hua.

……

The owner of the teahouse saw that there were customers coming and came over to greet them warmly. He bowed and said respectfully, "Dear guests, please come to the shed to rest for a while. Da Hu and your wife will serve tea to you."

Han Jinyan walked into the tea shed and looked around but didn't find anything unusual. There were more than a dozen tables in the simple teahouse. He raised his hand and touched it, and there was no dust, which showed that this family was quite diligent and clean.

Before Gu Hua brought An An into the teahouse, she looked up at the fifty elite soldiers from the palace who had dismounted behind them, as well as the one hundred special female soldiers of the Red Blood Phoenix that she had specially recruited this time.

Their faces were covered in dust, the corners of their mouths were cracked by the scorching sun and wind, and beads of sweat were rolling down their heads...

Gu Hua withdrew his gaze and said nothing.

An An's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

The mother and son walked in silently and just sat down. The owner of the teahouse was also a considerate person. He bowed slightly and asked attentively: "What would you like to eat, Madam and Young Master?"

"No hurry." Gu Hua raised her hand, then looked at the teahouse and realized that it couldn't accommodate the people she brought. So she told Du Tianlin and Shen Hongling, "Go out and tell the people who followed us to find a place under the shade of the trees to rest."

"Yes." Du Tianlin and Shen Hongling took the order and left.

Gu Hua turned to the teahouse owner and said, "Don't worry about us not paying. There will be plenty of tea for those people outside. Also, if you have any meat here, send it to the team outside..."

The elite soldiers of the palace guarding outside the teahouse and the special female soldiers of the Red Blood Phoenix brought by Gu Hua heard Gu Hua's intermittent instructions to the teahouse owner from inside, and found that her master did not care about her own food and drink, but thought about them first, and they were moved. An An saw that his mother did not think that she was superior because she was the master, and she took care of the hard work of her subordinates. At such a young age, he seemed to have realized something.

Gu Hua, An An, Shen Hongling, Du Tianlin, Han Jinyan and others had the same lunch as the other team, adding a few slices of meat to the meat patties and having a full meal with tea, and then they continued on their way.

After all, their base camp in Xiongzhou, Yiyang County was still under enemy attack, and they urgently needed to borrow troops to rescue it.

If their base camp is lost, they will inevitably be hunted down by the imperial court and other forces, and instantly become lost dogs.

Gu Hua understood this truth, and the people under her knew even better that if the rebellion failed, neither she nor the people under her would have a good ending.

Therefore, they dared not rest for too long on the road and could only move forward desperately...

The journey that originally took half a month on horseback was shortened by half by the team led by Gu Hua.

When Xiao Junlin's trusted generals who stayed in the northern border, the third-rank General Xue Changhui and the fifth-rank General Dao Luo of Huaihua, saw Gu Hua and her son showing the dragon-patterned pendants that represented Xiao Junlin's identity.

When they were leading more than a hundred people standing outside the military camp and demanding to see them, two people came out. From their initial suspicion, to seeing that An An looked so familiar, the two generals almost knelt on the spot.

"Didn't they say that our prince can't have children?" Dao Luo quietly approached his acquaintance Du Tianlin and asked, "How come the young master has grown so big all of a sudden?"

Du Tianlin tilted his head and said to the generals who had fought together in the northern frontier, "Haven't you long wanted the prince to have his own army and rebel against the damn emperor?"

Dao Luo: "Your Highness was very devoted to Buddhism at that time, wouldn't you be unwilling?"

Du Tianlin nodded forward with his chin, and Dao Luo looked over. Gu Hua and An An, who were led by Xue Changhui in front, said in a faint voice, "Look, they agree now."

Dao Luo's eyes widened instantly, and his tone was no longer tentative, "That boy is really our prince's child, our little master."

They have followed their own prince for so many years, only a fool would believe that he is unwilling to rebel for the sake of the interests of his country and the people of the world. It is because their prince is narrow-minded and does not want the kingdom he has fought so hard to conquer to be given to other people's children in the end.

……

The atmosphere in the military tent was depressing.

Gu Hua looked at the third-rank Tiger-Power General Xue Changhui, who was hesitant and kept talking about other things, intentionally avoiding the question and trying to evade the issue with other words. His eyes darkened and his expression began to look bad.

"General Xue, I don't need too many soldiers this time, and it's not for nothing..."

"Miss Gu... let's not talk about this for now. You just arrived, so you should take a rest first." Xue Changhui saw Gu Hua bringing up the topic again, his eyes flickered, and he said, "We'll discuss what you said later."

Dao Luo, the fifth-rank general of Huaihua, stared at Xue Changhui with an unknown look in his eyes: "What are you still discussing? Our prince is under siege, don't you want to borrow troops to rescue him?"

"I don't think so." General Xue was like someone stepped on his tail, and hurriedly defended himself: "The deployment of troops is related to the safety of Saibei. It is not something I can decide alone. I have to discuss it with other generals before making a decision."

Gu Hua's eyes flickered. She had never expected that she had secretly supported Xiao Junlin and provided for the Saibei Army for several years, but she would be blocked when she came to borrow some soldiers...
