Chapter 251: Disadvantages

Li Chun was stunned. Seeing Yun Jincai pressing the hilt of the sword with her hand, she quickly retreated and asked in panic: "What are you going to do? Can you still dare to kill me?"

Gu Du said, "Uncle Li Guo, this girl Jincai is neither my guard nor my maid, but my wife's junior sister. My wife is the young master of Jueling Sect and the princess of Xishan, the emperor's imperial concubine. In terms of seniority, my wife is also the emperor's aunt. In this way, Jincai is also your elder. If you are rude to her, even if she slashes you with one sword, Queen Xia will have nothing to say. Do you understand?"

Li Chun was afraid and dared not stare at Yun Jincai anymore. Gu Du said again: "Tomorrow, the court will discuss and send troops to the south. This battle will directly attack the Ling Kingdom Palace and build the foundation of the country for generations. You can let the son join me and make achievements. If you succeed in the future, you will naturally not have to worry about good marriages."

Li Chun's eyes flashed and she said with a wry smile: "Okay, thank you Gu Guojiu, say goodbye."

Watching Lichun go away in the sedan chair, Yun Jincai asked, "Will he listen to you?"

Gu Du replied with a smile: "He will definitely be entitled to illness to avoid court tomorrow, so as not to mention this matter in person, and he will not come to Taiwan."

Riding on his horse and walking home, Yun Jincai looked at Gu Du and asked, "Do you really understand what I said to the Third Young Master?"

Gu Du replied: "Of course, you are nothing more than saying that the third brother likes delicate women, like delicate flowers and plants, and needs people to take care of him at all times. Only in this way can he show his true nature. Otherwise, there would be many beautiful women in Jueling Sect, how could he not get married yet?"

Yun Jincai smiled, thought for a while and asked again: "Why just give me such a treasure blade?"

Gu Du turned his face and looked at her and replied, "You have always had some rewards after you have been with us for so many years. Besides, now, except for Xia Lan, you can be willing to trust me to live and die side by side, and Xia Lan's martial arts and spiritual power are not as good as you. She is also very angry and does not want to use the sword of Jue Ling Gate for you."

Yun Jincai's face turned red and she lowered her head. It turned out that he couldn't feel it. He knew it better than anyone else.

The next morning, the public was in anger. No matter whether these civil and military officials were sincere or false, no one opposed the matter of the Southern Expedition. Gu Du took over the seal of the commander, assembled 300,000 troops, and set off to Zhenbei Pass.

The spy was sent back to the Linghuang Palace, and the Linghuang said to Zhong Chenghou with a gloomy face: "Gu Du is not dead, but he has also assembled an army of 300,000 to march towards Zhenbei Pass."

Zhong Chenghou sighed. He had long felt that Gu Du was the so-called will of the Zeguo. He wanted to comfort Gu Du on both sides and rely on his own abilities to make Gu Du old. Even if he returns to heaven, Gu Du will no longer be in the sun. When he fights again, Gu Du will be unable to do so, but Emperor Ling just couldn't stand it. Seeing a turnaround, he was anxious to get rid of Gu Du.

But then again, the mood of the Ling Emperor is understandable. The king of a country was beaten twice by defected ministers, which is an unprecedented shame. What's more, the national strength of the Zeguo is booming and has a tendency to surpass the Ling Kingdom, so the Ling Emperor is also reasonable.

The Spirit Emperor looked at him and asked coldly: "Are you still unwilling to take action?"

Zhong Chenghou sighed again, opened his eyes and looked at the Ling Emperor and replied, "Your Magistrate has made it clear. It's not that Cao Min is unwilling to take action, but that he is not sure."

The Spirit Emperor asked, "If Gu Du promoted to the throne, wouldn't you be even more confident?"

Zhong Chenghou replied: "The meaning of Caomin's life is to shock Gu Du, making him afraid to enter the palace for assassination. If Caomin kills Gu Du, even if he can kill him, he will be seriously injured. At that time, Juelingmen will gather in the palace, who can protect the emperor's full strength?"

Ling Emperor was stunned, and Zhong Chenghou said again: "Although Jingxuezhai has tens of thousands of disciples, it is far inferior to Jueling Sect. Jueling Sect is away from the world and practices, and there are many masters in the sect. If they don't come to assassinate, they are disdainful of being stingy. But if their son-in-law dies, will the emperor think they will still care about their reputation?"

Ling Emperor frowned and silent, Zhong Chenghou said again: "Shu Caomin said frankly that if Cao Min was the leader of Jue Ling Sect, once Gu Du died in assassination, I would lead people to the palace, not only to kill the emperor in throne, but also to wash the palace blood, and to destroy the royal bloodline."

The Emperor of Spirit sighed. Although these words were a bit alarmist, they were not completely unreasonable.

The Spirit Emperor asked, "Do you always think, what should you do now?"

Zhong Chenghou closed his eyes and replied: "The duty of Caomin is to protect the emperor, and governing the country and defending the enemy is the duty of the emperor."

The Spirit Emperor was silent for a long time with a blue face before he slowly said, "This battle must be endless. I really want to know why you always treat me like this. When you are old, I must be a ignorant child, right? You always believe that I am not a wise monarch?"

Zhong Chenghou replied: "When Caomin left the court, the emperor was already ten years old."

The Spirit Emperor was stunned and then said, "Impossible! If this is the case, how could I not remember the high priest of the late emperor?"

Zhong Chenghou opened his eyes and looked at him and asked, "Dare you ask the emperor, who will succeed as the high priest after Caomin left the court?"

The Emperor of Spirit blurted out: "Xu Zhao."

Zhong Chenghou shook his head and said, "It's not him. Your Majesty, you have always regarded yourself very highly since childhood. This is nothing, but you have another disadvantage, that is, except for the royal family, you treat everyone as slaves and dogs. There is no one except the royal family, you have seen Caomin, but you don't remember Caomin, because Caomin was a slave without a name or a surname in your eyes."

The Spirit Emperor frowned, he could not refute that he had this problem, but he still argued: "I am young and no longer what I used to be like in the past, otherwise the late emperor would not have passed the throne to me."

Zhong Chenghou didn't say anything and closed his eyes again.

The Spirit Emperor sighed in his heart. He was actually very clear that the late emperor's teachings were located in him, which was a last resort. On the one hand, he was the eldest son and made him safe. On the other hand, his younger brothers were not good at it. They were either greedy for pleasure or were born with limited spiritual power. Only he could support this family business.

Perhaps, the Ling Kingdom has really been exhausted. In the past ten years, Emperor Ling regretted what he did to Gu Du countless times. If he took a step to slow down, he might not force Gu Du and Li Xia to rebel.

The Spirit Emperor called out: "Come."

The eunuch walked in and replied, "Emperor."

The Spirit Emperor said, "Call Chu Qin to come."

"Yes." The eunuch responded. A quarter of an hour later, Chu Qin came in. Before he could salute, the Emperor Ling said, "There is no need to be too polite. Gu Du is not dead. He also raised an army of 300,000 and went straight to Zhenbei Pass. You and Mr. Zhong first have a plan. I am tired and want to take a break."

After saying that, the Spirit Emperor stood up and walked around the screen and left.

Zhong Chenghou opened his eyes and looked quite unhappy.
