They are really not NPCs, please stop it, lady.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like what my mother-in-law said was right.

After all, this female general's appearance and figure are really too good.

Different from Wu Ningdong's gentleness, and also different from Wu Chunmu's strong feeling.

What Gu Nian saw in this female general was heroism, a heroism that was no less than that of men.

Perhaps because her cultivation level was not very high, there were still some traces of training on her body.

Although her hands are not as delicate and exquisite as others, they have their own unique beauty.

Especially her figure, which is different from others. She is slender and tall, but also has a somewhat muscular look.

It really pokes some people's XP.

"Who is this…"

Gu Nian pretended to have just seen the female general and asked curiously.

"This is the commander of the imperial guards of my Daqian Dynasty. He was also a general who fought on the battlefield before."

"Her name is Yun Fei, and she is also considered as my close guard."

After introducing Yun Fei's identity, Wu Chunmu continued,

"Master Gu is unfamiliar with this place, and Ningdong rarely goes out before, so she's not familiar with anywhere."

"And I, Qiyun, am also a little busy and can't accompany Master Gu all the time, so I want to send someone here to help Master Gu."

"Master Gu, please don't be polite to her. This girl is very capable and will definitely satisfy Master Gu."

Listening to Wu Ningdong's very familiar excuse and those highly suggestive words, Gu Nian said, did he really let his mother-in-law guess it?

You have such a good female general in your Daqian Dynasty, and you just throw her to me and give her to me?

No wonder no one is willing to work for you. There is always the risk of being betrayed. Who would work for you?

Gu Nian felt a little emotional in his heart, but he didn't say much. He just nodded and gestured to Yun Fei to sit down.

See this.

Wu Chunmu hurriedly said,

"Master Gu, just eat by yourself. Don't worry about Yun Fei. I asked her to come here to serve Master Gu."

Serve me?

If you want to serve me, why do you need a female general?

Wouldn't it be better if you sent a maid?

Really... You don't even bother to hide it...

Yun Fei, on the other hand, looked very respectful. He quickly bowed and said to Gu Nian,

"Master Gu, you don't need to be polite to me. This general... Yun Fei is here to serve you. We cannot confuse the priorities."

Her words were very resolute, giving off a feeling of a heroic female general.

If Gu Nian hadn't seen a blush on her face, he would have really thought that she was simply staying by his side for no other reason.

You obviously received orders from your queen mother, right?

Isn't this nonsense?

After looking at Yun Fei helplessly, Gu Nian casually waved his hand, stopped talking, and concentrated on eating.

I have to say that although what Wu Chunmu did was not very good, the things she asked others to do were still very good.

It was the first time she ate it, and Gu Nian actually liked it quite a lot.

See this.

Wu Chunmu gave Yun Fei a look and asked Yun Fei to go down first.

As for herself, she sat directly next to Gu Nian.

"That girl has never served anyone before. I'm afraid she won't be able to do a good job serving Master Gu."

"But if Lord Gu needs any errands, it's no problem to let her do it."

After a pause, Wu Chunmu said softly,

"I know Ningdong very well. She is very weak and may not be liked by Master Gu."

"If Ningdong is really not up to the task, it's not impossible for Master Gu to let Yunfei take over."

This is no longer a hint, it's a direct reveal.

Gu Nian glanced at Wu Chunmu and just shook his head and said,

"Don't call me Master Gu anymore. It sounds awkward."

"Then I'll call you Mr. Gu."

Wu Chunmu thought about it and changed the name to a more intimate one.

But in his heart, Wu Chunmu felt a little happier.

This even made me change my address. It seems that this big shot from the Su family has changed his impression of me a lot.

At least, he has developed some feelings towards me!

It seems that it was a good idea to let Yun Fei come.

I didn’t expect that this Dongjun’s husband actually liked this, and that Dongjun could actually tolerate it. It was really unexpected.

But what the heck.

This was a matter between the two of them, and what he had to do was to please this young man, to keep his position, and to keep Daqian.

And if that could make him happy.

Then next time, I have to send someone more important.

After thinking carefully, Wu Chunmu already had an idea in his mind.

However, this matter still needs to be discussed with her.

After all, I have a special status, so I can't go too far.

immediately.

She came back to her senses, picked up a piece of food with a smile,

"Come, Mr. Gu, try this."

On the streets of Daqian capital.

Gu Nian took Yun Fei for a stroll here. Looking at the slightly depressed scene on the street, Gu Nian frowned slightly.

He brought Yun Fei here not to play, of course, but to observe and experience it personally.

Having just arrived in Daqian, Gu Nian just took a quick look around. He had no idea where it was prosperous and where it was deserted, so naturally he couldn't see anything.

Now, with Yun Fei, a local, accompanying him, Gu Nian naturally wanted to take a good look.

Although he had always heard about the chaos in the capital, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so Gu Nian was not quite sure how serious the situation was.

No matter what, what you see yourself is the most real.

But now it seems that this chaos is a little too unexpected.

"According to what you said, this should be the most prosperous place in the capital. Why is there no one here?"

Looking around, he saw that not many shops on the street were open, so Gu Nian asked in confusion.

It's already noon. Even if the shops here open late, they won't be closed until noon.

"this…"

Yun Fei was a little hesitant, not knowing how to tell Gu Nian.

In fact, she knew Gu Nian's background and was also very clear that as long as Gu Nian wanted to do something, he would be able to do it.

This has nothing to do with strength, it’s simply because Gu Nian’s status is too high.

Anyone here who knows Gu Nian's identity probably doesn't have the courage to attack Gu Nian.

Yun Fei naturally respected and revered this big shot from the Su family.

It’s not just because of Gu Nian’s cultivation.

Just based on the fact that Gu Nian is younger than her but has a stronger cultivation than her, he is worthy of her respect.

She knew very well that Gu Nian, who had such a high level of cultivation, was definitely not just relying on his identity.

but.

At this point, she still didn't know what Gu Nian's purpose was in coming to Daqian.

What if they are going to attack Daqian?

No matter what, Yun Fei couldn't feel at ease about Gu Nian.

"Just say it."

Gu Nian glanced at Yun Fei's hesitation, knowing what Yun Fei was struggling with, and said with a smile,

"Although I don't know what your Queen Mother told you, I have only one purpose for coming here."

As he spoke, Gu Nian's expression suddenly became serious.

"I'm really just here to help you stabilize Daqian. As for who the master of Daqian is, I don't care."

"As long as this dynasty is in the hands of a qualified and suitable person when I leave, that will be enough."

"I said the same thing to your Queen Mother, but it seems that she doesn't really believe me."

Gu Nian smiled helplessly and acted innocent.

Such consideration made Yun Fei stunned for a moment.

Could a big shot like him actually have such a pure mind?

Everything in the world is bustling with hustle and bustle, but they are all for profit. Yet he is so pure. How can people believe this?

But looking at Gu Nian's expression, he was clearly saying these words very seriously. He was definitely not trying to evade or deceive himself, nor was there any need to evade or deceive himself.

After all, she was just a female general. Even if he wanted her to serve her, she would have to serve him as long as he said a word, and she would also have to show her love and loyalty.

He really didn't care about the need for himself.

So, he's serious?

Is he really doing this purely for the good of Daqian?

For some reason, her mind clearly told her that Gu Nian was just deceiving her.

But her sensibility told her that Gu Nian had no need to deceive her.

After a moment of silence, Yun Fei let out a long breath.

She finally chose to believe Gu Nian.

"Those bigwigs are so busy fighting for power and profit that they naturally don't care about the lives of ordinary people."

Yun Fei had a sarcastic smile on his face.

"People like the Duke of Zhenguo naturally disdain to do such things to make money, but many of their subordinates and followers help them do this."

As for how to make money?

Yun Fei didn't need to explain this.

Although Gu Nian was not clear about the various methods used, he understood their thinking.

Exorbitant taxation is the lowest level of behavior, and they disdain to do it.

If they want to do it, they have plenty of ways to do it.

When the late emperor was still alive, he still had control over Daqian. Even if they had this intention, they had to do it secretly and not be discovered.

But now, the former emperor is gone, and Wu Chunmu and Ji Qiyun are simply unable to control the entire Daqian in their hands, which naturally gives them a lot more worries.

What was considered a restrained thing before can now finally be done in a big way.
