Don't you want to ask why you want to go? Gu Yue was a little surprised.

"It shouldn't be difficult to sneak out?" Gu Yue said.

"Luoyang City is surrounded by city walls on all sides, and the wartime alert is of the highest standard." Gu Xu explained, "The river channel of the moat, the drainage holes left in the city wall, and even the exit of the underground water network are all guarded."

Gu Yue exclaimed, "If we go out through the city gate... we will have to check the pass. We were brought in by Zhen Suhang, so that will be difficult to deal with."

Nowadays we have our own anti-counterfeiting technology, and with the technological level of Northern Qin, it is not easy to forge.

"Just stay in Luoyang honestly, and I will take people to Ganzhou." Gu Xu said.

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment.

Did Wu Fei mention Ganzhou just now?

"I'll go too." Gu Yue said, "Don't abandon me."

"I will hand you over to the Luoyang Wumen headquarters for care." Gu Xu stood up and didn't listen to him at all. "There are many people who want to kill you now."

Gu Yue paused. This was the truth, he was really afraid of death.

But he felt that he would die faster if he didn't follow Gu Xu.

Moreover, he was needed as a clue to investigate the incident involving the Black Gold Paste, etc. Gu Xu knew nothing and it would be difficult for him to make the connection. When the poisoning of the Northern Qin army was discovered, he did not have the support of the prince as in the original text, so it would be very difficult to investigate.

"No, I have to go." Seeing Gu Xu walking out the door, Gu Yue immediately lifted the thin blanket covering him and jumped out of bed, "Don't leave, how are you going to get out of the city?"

Gu Xucai didn't tell him.

"Don't ignore me!" Gu Yue grabbed his wrist at the door, "I want to go with you."

"No." Gu Xu looked stern.

"I can help you." Gu Yue shook him, "I'm very good."

"War is no joke." Gu Xu frowned, "Do you think you can get away with it just by talking? Swords have no eyes, and they will do anything to win. There's no way I'll let you go."

"We are not going to the battlefield. We are just going to... take a look at Ganzhou." Gu Yue said.

"Then let's wait until the war is over." Gu Xu said.

"How can that be done?" Gu Yue thought of a solution in a hurry. "The war in Ganzhou is a good time to gain merit. We will watch from the outside and take advantage of any loopholes, such as catching a few Xidi spies... Didn't we agree that I will be the cover outside and you will investigate the affairs of King Shen in secret? What's the point of leaving me to hide in Luoyang now?"

"I've changed my mind. From now on, you stay behind the scenes and are not allowed to attract attention alone." Gu Xu said.

"Why?!"

"You have a leg disease and you don't know how to fight, so it's easy for you to be captured or killed. It would be more suitable for me to play as a forward." Gu Xu lowered his eyes and looked at him.

Meeting that gaze looking down at him, Gu Yue was speechless.

Gu Xu is going to be eighteen years old this year. According to some people in the Wumen sect, his martial arts are progressing rapidly and he currently has no rivals in the sect.

Shi San also admitted that he was very skilled.

Besides, he said that he got the Chaozhen Army Tiger Tally... Doesn't that mean he is the complete male protagonist in the original text?

There have been huge changes in the past two years. Gu Xu is no longer the kid who was a head shorter than him.

Am I of no use?

"Then tell me, what are you going to do in Ganzhou?" Gu Yue held him tightly and asked stubbornly.

"The Chaozhen army is in Ganzhou." Gu Xu said.

"Then? You want to lead the Chaozhen Army to help Northern Qin fight against Western Di?" Gu Yue thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. "The emperor will be scared to death first! They will definitely not let you enter the court with military forces that you cannot control!"

"...How is that possible?" Gu Xu said, "I just went to make the handover."

"Since you're not going to the front line to fight, then take me with you," Gu Yue said.

“……”Gu Xu looked at him.

The fox spirit has not shown any ability to protect itself so far. The leg disease is also real, not a magic used to disguise it.

Of course, it would be a better idea to keep him in Luoyang, but...

"Isn't there a traitor in Wumen who has not been caught yet? Is it really safe if you hand me over to them?" Gu Yue thought of another reason.

Gu Xu frowned and thought.

"Right! And the people of the Su family and King Yin might all be in Luoyang. What if something happens..."

"Okay. We'll set off the day after tomorrow." Gu Xu glanced at him.

Yeah! Gu Yue clenched his fist. He won!

With Shi San here, there will be no problem as long as he doesn't take the initiative to go to the center of danger.

……

Inside the Taiji Hall of the Imperial City.

The court meeting had lasted for the entire morning since the important ministers were urgently summoned to the palace in the early morning.

"Your Majesty, I think that the Western Di are showing contempt for the power of Northern Qin. They have repeatedly invaded our borders over the years. This is not something that happened overnight. They have long had the intention of rebelling!"

"Lord Liu is right, but a rash war would only cost the people money and resources, and unrest on the border would not benefit us, Northern Qin. Your Majesty, peace is the most important thing!"

"Those barbarians have already reached the gates of Ganzhou, but you are still saying that peace is the most valuable thing. It's simply ridiculous! Your Majesty, since Lord Zhang is so insistent, I think we should send him to negotiate peace!"

"Your Majesty, this matter..."

The ministers in the palace were arguing fiercely, and the emperor was listening on the dragon throne with a frown on his face.

"Okay." He said suddenly.

The noisy court officials below immediately fell silent. Some of them had red faces and thick necks, and it was obvious that they had not yet recovered.

"We in Northern Qin have strong soldiers and horses, and our military commanders are also talented. The Western Di are not a big threat." The emperor said, "But the Western Di are not completely unaware of the prosperity of Northern Qin. It is really strange that they rashly raised an army this time."

Qin Zhaoyue stepped out and said, "Father, I think this matter should not be underestimated and should be handled with extreme caution."

The emperor said: "That's right. This time we have to fight."

Immediately, two military generals stepped out one after another, saying that they were willing to lead the troops to Ganzhou. Seeing this, the civil officials stepped out one after another to make suggestions, and a quarrel broke out, arguing endlessly over the selection of people to go to the front line.

The emperor listened quietly, thinking in his mind.

Qin Zhaoyue said again: "I am also willing to lead the army to Ganzhou."

"Oh?" The emperor's gaze fell on Qin Zhaoyue.

The Minister of Finance Zhou Yongsi immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is absolutely impossible! Your Highness the Crown Prince is the foundation of the country, how can you go to a dangerous place in person?"

Imperial Censor Xue Duan said: "Your Highness is willing to risk his life for Northern Qin and to help his king and father solve their problems. This is truly a display of loyalty and filial piety."

General Xiao Jingzhi said, "Your Highness is so precious, how can you go to such a hard place at the border?"

Jing Shu said: "After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the head of the nation, so I hope Your Majesty will consider this carefully."

General Mu You said: "Your Highness has always been intelligent and talented in military tactics. The Grand Tutor often praises you. The Western Di are weak and lack of troops, and the Western Hu never go along with them. This is a good opportunity to hone your skills."

Jing Shu smiled: "A good opportunity to hone your skills? I think the fifth prince is old enough to be a governor, why not send him there?"

Mu You: "The fifth prince is only fourteen years old."

"Are we veterans no longer useful? It is absurd to ask Your Highness to take such risks!"

The quarrel broke out in the hall again.
