The news that the prince was going to propose marriage to the general's mansion was really shocking. Because the examination in the academy was so important, these people planned to discuss this matter after the examination.

When General Shen received the visiting card, he looked at the red card and thought it was just because the New Year was coming and the red color was festive, so he didn't think much about it.

The day before the exam, Gu Changfeng still asked Zhao Si to pass on a message.

As it involved the private matters of the exam, he didn't dare leave any evidence, and he didn't really want to see Wen Heng, so he felt embarrassed and had to ask Zhao Si for help.

Because of the "empty ears" incident last time, Zhao Si was unwilling to go, and he was terrified when he thought about it. But Gu Changfeng was the master and he was the servant, so this matter could not be known to outsiders, so he had to go.

Zhao Si got goose bumps when he saw Wen Heng. The shadow of their last meeting was still lingering in his mind. "Master Wen, I will only say two words and then I will leave."

Wen Heng nodded: "You go ahead."

"..."

“???” Wen Heng saw him open his mouth, but no sound came out.

"Did you say that?"

Zhao Si sneered, "Of course. The exam is tomorrow, Master Wen, you'd better wish you good luck." He had long wanted to avenge the "trick" he suffered at the hands of Wen Heng that day.

But Wen Heng didn't think so. He felt that this was what the prince meant. He had helped him so much, and it would be unfair if he really revealed the question to him. The answer was already in his mind. These two silent words were probably "come on".

Wen Heng, who had figured it out, went back happily, leaving Zhao Si standing there with a look of astonishment.

"What's going on? Am I the only one who can't hear? But I didn't say anything!" Zhao Si was so scared that he felt that he must be incompatible with Wen Heng. In a few days, he would drag his son to Tianxiang Mountain to pay homage! Get rid of the bad luck!

The envoys who went to the frontier rushed back to the capital on the day the assessment ended.

While people in the Suixia Academy were chattering about the Crown Prince's upcoming marriage with the General's Mansion, the court was in chaos.

The envoys accused the barbaric crimes of the Hu people. The looted cities were already in ruins. Young men were captured and sent to serve as soldiers. Those who violated the rules were beheaded and hung on the city walls. After beheading four or five people, they all surrendered. Beautiful women were offered to the Hu leader, and the remaining old, weak, women and children barely managed to survive. This was the case in three cities in a row.

He went to negotiate peace with the leader of the Hu people, but the other side demanded three more cities, otherwise they would continue to fight.

There are only six cities in the border area of ​​Da Qi. If they were all given to the Hu people, it would be strange if the war could be stopped.

Moreover, the Hu people are not the ones who keep their word. They do not take the agreements signed in previous years seriously at all. It is impossible to reason with such people, and the only option is to fight violence with violence.

The Hu people's move was to force them to fight.

"Are there any of you who are willing to take the initiative to go to the frontier to fight? I can reward their families with a thousand taels of silver, a hundred acres of fertile land, and three mansions."

In silence, only the prince and General Shen took a step forward.

General Shen is no longer young, and the emperor did not want him to go, but there was simply no suitable candidate.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will bring the young general with me. The men of my Shen family are born to fight on the battlefield. They have lost their spirit in the capital." General Shen was straightforward. When he talked about the years he lived in the frontier, his smile became even bigger. "We have the best soldiers and generals in the Great Qi. We will definitely win this battle and repel the Hu people!"

Gu Changli was very touched.

The day for the expedition was set for three days later.
