Chapter 308 Found Yuezhi

"Father..."

Qin Ziyan was about to say something more, Li Taiwei gave him a look, and he shut his mouth unwillingly.

The emperor sat on top with a sullen face. After a while, he looked at Lin Langtian and asked, "What does the prime minister think?"

Lin Langtian said: "I think that Prince Hao's words are justified, and it has something to do with Beiming's national prestige, so we cannot back down."

The emperor pondered for a moment, and said sharply: "I will pass on my order to allocate 10 taels of gold as military pay, and order Duan Fei, the commander in chief, to lead 15 soldiers from the Xuanjia Battalion to crusade against the Bada tribe!"

All civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty said in unison: "The emperor is holy!"

……

Gu Changgeng was on duty in Qianqing Palace, Shen Fei ran over and whispered: "Have you heard? The emperor ordered General Duan to send troops to attack the barbarians!"

Gu Changgeng frowned slightly, "When did it happen?"

"The emperor's decree just now."

Unable to see what Gu Changgeng was thinking, Shen Fei muttered: "I think back then when General Gu was guarding the frontier, how would these barbarians dare to invade, now..."

The conversation stopped abruptly, Shen Fei glanced at Gu Changgeng secretly, quickly changed the subject, and said, "Do you think General Duan is sure to defeat these barbarians in one fell swoop this time?"

Gu Changgeng said: "Yes."

"Are you so sure?"

Gu Changgeng's eyes were determined, and he paused every word, "Xuanjia Battalion is the most elite and powerful army in Beiming!"

Shen Fei was startled, and after a while, he patted Gu Changgeng's shoulder with a smile, "Yes, you're right! That's the Xuanjia Battalion! How can the Xuanjia Battalion under General Gu be afraid of the mere Barbarians!"

There was heavy snow on the frontier, and an order aroused the passionate hearts of the soldiers. In order to defend their homes and the country, many soldiers charged into the traps and threw their heads and blood.

……

a month later.

In the palace, the barracks of the Imperial Forest Army.

Walking to the house in the cold night, he bowed to Gu Chang and bowed his hands to salute, "Young Pavilion Master."

"What's the matter?"

"Master Shaoge ordered the Sun Moon Pavilion to investigate the crown prince's side concubine Yueshi, and he has already been found."

Gu Changgeng's pupils tightened, "Have you found it? Where is the person?"

"I found it in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. I have been escorted to the capital by the people in the pavilion. I can arrive tonight. My subordinates ordered them to send me to Taohua Village first. The young master of the pavilion will go to see him tonight." See?"

Gu Changgeng said: "I'll go there tonight."

Han Ye showed hesitation, "And..."

"What else?"

"Yueshi brought a child about five or six years old, and his subordinates checked, it should be the posthumous son of the crown prince."

"Where is the child now?"

"The people from the Sun Moon Pavilion escorted him and the Yue family to the capital together."

Gu Changgeng's eyes drooped slightly, and he said, "I know, we'll talk about everything after meeting Yueshi."

"Yes."

……

In the evening, in Tiaohua Village, the thatched cottage where Feng Qingyang lived.

Han Ye and Gu Changgeng rode their horses and stopped with a "wow", and immediately two men in black clothes walked out of the small courtyard to salute Han Ye, Han Ye said: "Get up, this is the Young Pavilion Master."

The two greeted each other with fists in their hands, "Young Pavilion Master."

Gu Changgeng nodded slightly, and said in a cold voice, "Where's the person?"

"inside."

Gu Changgeng stepped into the house, and when he entered, he saw a woman in coarse clothes holding a boy, with a panic expression on her beautiful face, this person must be Yueshi.

When Gu Changgeng walked up to her, she hugged the sleeping child in her arms even tighter, and said in horror, "You... who are you? Why did you arrest us, mother and child?"

"You are the concubine of the crown prince, Yueshi?"

The woman turned pale with shock when she heard the words, and said excitedly: "I don't know what you are talking about! I am just a poor widow with no husband and a child. I have never heard of a side concubine or Yueshi. You must I found the wrong person, you guys let me go!"

Gu Changgeng frowned, and looked sideways at Han Ye.

Han Ye understood, and asked the two people: "What's going on? Did you find the wrong person?"

"Returning to Shaoge Master, the subordinates did not find the wrong person. She is indeed the crown prince's side concubine Yueshi. When she was exiled outside the customs, she was rescued by a man from the rivers and lakes who the prince had once favored. She lived incognito in a small village in the south of the Yangtze River. She gave birth to the child and raised the child by herself so far, but for some reason, she refuses to admit that she is the Yuezhi."

Gu Changgeng said: "I see, you guys go out and wait for me."

The man said: "Yes, Young Pavilion Master."

After the two went out, Gu Changgeng said again: "You go out too." This was said to Han Ye.

Han Ye looked at Gu Changgeng, then at the panicked Yueshi, turned around and retreated.

Gu Changgeng lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the child in his arms. Yueshi hugged the child tightly in fear, and couldn't help crying: "Please, please don't hurt my child, please let him go, he Just a kid who doesn't know anything..."

Gu Changgeng said: "I didn't intend to hurt your child or you, I just wanted to ask you something."

Yuezhi sobbed: "I don't know, what I don't know..."

Gu Changgeng looked calm, looked at Yueshi, and said to himself: "I am the son of Gu Yun, Gu Changgeng. After the crown prince was given to death, Sun Jiayu, the prince's counselor, fled to the border to find my father. After killing him, when he was recalled to Kyoto by the emperor, he was killed on the road, the general's mansion was bloodbathed overnight, and his family was almost wiped out... I suspect that all this has something to do with the prince's treason."

"I don't know...I don't know anything..."

Gu Changgeng: "If the prince was framed for treason, don't you want the prince to clear up his grievances? Do you want your child's father to be rehabilitated?"

Yueshi bit her bloodless lips, just crying without speaking.

"If you know something, you say it, I guarantee that you and your children will be safe, and I can protect you, otherwise, do you think that the son of a criminal minister can grow up without incident?"

Yueshi bit the blood on her lips, patted the awakened child in her arms, and said with difficulty: "It's not that I don't want to say, I really don't know anything."

Gu Changgeng asked: "Before the prince's accident, did you know who the prince offended? For example, the second highness...or what the prince is doing? Think about it carefully, is it true?"

Yueshi shook his head: "When His Highness the Crown Prince was alive, he was a gentle person, and he seldom got into disputes with the Second Highness and others. Before the Prince's accident, it seemed to me that there was no difference."

"Really not? Think again."

Yueshi thought for a while, then said: "No..."

Gu Changgeng couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.

Was his guess wrong?Or are those people hiding too deep?
Yueshi asked cautiously: "You said that you won't hurt our mother and child...is it true?"

Gu Changgeng restrained his emotions, and said: "I order you to leave the capital and find a safer place to resettle you. You are in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. I can find out, but there is no guarantee that others will not."

Yueshi looked a little surprised, he didn't expect that Gu Changgeng would really let them go.

"Thank you."

Just as Gu Changgeng was about to turn around and leave, Yueshi was shocked, some images flashed through her mind, she said suddenly: "Wait! I remembered something!"

Gu Changgeng couldn't wait to ask: "What do you think of? Tell me quickly!"

Yueshi said: "One day the prince had already rested in my room, but late at night, Mr. Sun asked him to see him urgently, the prince went to the study, and I didn't feel sleepy, so I made a cup of ginseng tea for the prince and sent it to him. When I got to the study, I heard the sound of crackling and throwing things, and the prince was talking to Mr. Sun in a rage, as if he was saying... talking..."

Gu Changgeng's heart tightened, and he stared at Yueshi closely.

Yueshi thought hard for a long time, and said: "That's right! It seems that Concubine Shu was mentioned!"
