The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 327 Returning to the General's Mansion?
Yonghe Palace.

Concubine Shu pushed back the court ladies and eunuchs, and Lin Langtian came out from the secret passage behind the screen.

When Concubine Shu saw him, she said anxiously: "Langtian, today Duan Fei asked the emperor to thoroughly investigate what happened back then in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, does he already know something?"

Lin Langtian comforted: "Don't worry, maybe Duan Fei knows something, but he must not have found us, otherwise he wouldn't just ask the emperor to continue to thoroughly investigate the matter of the year."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Langtian's expression became more serious.

He said: "Now it seems that Gu Changgeng and Duan Fei have been in contact in private for a long time. The people we sent to the bottom of the cliff in Yanshan were probably killed by the people Duan Fei sent to protect Gu Changgeng. Gu Changgeng...will It's a big problem."

To this day, Gu Changgeng who knows martial arts, Gu Changgeng who was secretly protected, and the people who suddenly disappeared... These seemingly coincidental events, now thinking about them, Lin Lang was surprised that Gu Changgeng was no longer The brat he didn't care about.

Concubine Shu said with a sullen face, "Now he is in your prime minister's mansion, let's kill him as soon as possible!"

Lin Langtian smiled wryly, and said: "If I can do it, I really want to do it, but I can't do it now. The emperor agreed to Duan Fei in front of all civil and military officials. Both the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are staring at what happened in the past. If we do it now, the risk is too high." It's too big, and Duan Fei lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so our chances of success are unlikely."

Concubine Shu was in a hurry, "This won't work, that won't work, so what should we do? I blame you. I said earlier that Gu Changgeng is a problem. If you solve him earlier, you must listen!"

"I'll figure it out."

"Think of it, what else can you think of! The last time I had such a good opportunity in Yanshan, Gu Changgeng escaped unharmed..."

Lin Langtian's eyes flickered slightly, and after a while, he said, "Since we can't kill Gu Changgeng for the time being, we can't let him stay in the Imperial Forest Army, otherwise, sooner or later, great things will be ruined."

Concubine Shu nodded in agreement.

After all, the biggest trump card in their hands now is the military power of 20 Imperial Forest Army in Jiang Yunting's hands.

"Langtian, what are your plans?"

Lin Langtian gave Concubine Shu a look, she blinked suspiciously, leaned over, Lin Langtian whispered something to her, her eyes lit up, and said: "The emperor is always afraid of death, you Method...he will definitely agree without saying a word."

Lin Langtian nodded, and said in a low voice: "Yes, it's really thanks to Gu Changgeng's serious injury this time, he couldn't recover without recuperation for more than a month..."

……

In the evening, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lin Langtian ordered people to clean up the best yard for Duan Fei to live in. Duan Fei refused to go, so he said to Gu Bo: "Just clean up any house in Liyuan, as long as it can accommodate people. I'm in the Prime Minister's Mansion for the past two days, so I'll live here .”

Uncle Gu said anxiously: "General Duan, except for the young master's bedroom, the other bedrooms are not big, and the furnishings are simple. I'm afraid I will wrong you. Why don't you go and live in the yard that Xiangye ordered someone to tidy up?"

"Don't bother, just have a place to lie down and sleep."

"This……"

Uncle Gu looked at Gu Changgeng uncertainly, seeing him nodding his head, he responded and went down to clean up.

But Duan Fei's soldiers said with a bitter face, "General, you live here with the little general... What about us? I'm afraid we won't be able to live here?"

Duan Fei yelled angrily: "You're such an adult, don't you know how to find a place to sleep by yourself! Go, go, go... Do you like to stay in an inn or just find a treetop general? Find it yourself..."

A soldier said: "General, the subordinates need to follow you to ensure your safety."

Duan Fei said disgustedly: "Now in the capital, it's not a frontier, do you need your protection? Worry about it, fuck off... I'll go find a place to sleep!"

The officer hesitated to speak, Gu Changgeng saw through his thoughts and said, "Don't worry, this is in the prime minister's residence, nothing will happen."

Only then did the soldiers say in unison: "Yes, general, little general, the subordinates should step down first."

More than ten people left Liyuan, Duan Fei was still muttering, "This group of people will not let me worry on the way back, they are all nervous, and they are still the same now in the capital..."

Gu Changgeng lowered his eyes slightly, knowing in his heart that his father was killed on the way back to the capital.

"By the way, Chang Geng, how is your injury? What does the imperial doctor say?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Duan, the imperial doctor said that he will recover after a month of recuperation."

"That's good." Duan Fei heaved a sigh of relief.

For some reason, he looked at Gu Changgeng with self-blame, "Chang Geng, I have made you suffer in the capital all these years. When the general had an accident, I should have rushed back to the capital as soon as possible. But when the barbarians heard about the general's accident, they immediately To send troops to attack, I..."

"Uncle Duan doesn't need to blame himself. Dad once said that it is his wish to put the country first, put state affairs before family affairs, and protect the frontier for a hundred years of peace."

Duan Fei pursed his lips tightly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

In vain, General Fei was utterly loyal and devoted himself to serving the country and the people, yet he ended up like this. Before his death, he was suspected by others, his death was unknown, and no one said a word for him after his death.

Gu Changgeng changed the subject and asked: "Uncle Duan, the Bada tribe and the Xuanjiaying have been stalemate in the frontier for more than ten years. The strength of the two is equal. Why did they attack the Bada tribe so quickly this time? Is it true that the Bada tribe is as good as the rumors say? In order to fight for the position of leader, my vitality was seriously injured, so I..."

Duan Fei said sternly: "No, although the civil strife of the Bada tribe has indeed damaged their strength, but the Bada people are brave and good at fighting, with strong soldiers and horses. It is not easy to defeat them. This time it is God's help. The Bada people are closer. Years, snow disasters every year, last year was a rare snow disaster in a hundred years, the grain harvest was almost zero, not to mention the lack of food and grass in the army, and the ordinary people were also hungry. Under such circumstances of internal and external troubles, We can take advantage of it."

Duan Fei paused, then continued: "After several cities were destroyed, the Bada tribe proposed a peace agreement. The Bada tribe can become a subsidiary state of the Beiming Kingdom and pay tribute to horses and weapons every year. But the Beiming Kingdom has to agree. Da buys food from Beiming Kingdom."

Beiming and Bada are neighboring countries. If they want food, they can only buy it from Beiming.

Duan Fei let out a long sigh, and said rather worryingly: "But this Bada tribe has always been ambitious, who knows how long he can surrender..."

But the horses and weapons that are paid in tribute every year are enough to make Beiming stronger and make the emperor's heart flutter.

Gu Changgeng said: "In the future, we need to guard against the Bada tribe."

"Forget it, let's not talk about that for now. The emperor sent someone to repair the General's Mansion, and he will be able to return to the General's Mansion in two days. You and I can move back together, so as not to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and suffer Lin Qingyuan's anger."

When mentioning Lin Qingyuan, Duan Fei didn't get angry, he only regretted that he didn't whip him a few more times before Lin Langtian came that day.

Gu Changgeng was startled, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I'll stay in the prime minister's residence."

Duan Fei was puzzled: "Why? Don't you want to go back to the General's Mansion?"

Lin Qingqian's figure flashed in Gu Changgeng's mind.

"I……"
