Oh my god, can you play like this?

Gu Lanzhi avoided the Fifth Prince and came to the palace gate to wait for the court session. What surprised him was that he saw several familiar faces, all of whom were deputy generals and guards who had followed him in battles for several years.

"Why are you attending court if you're not in the military camp?" Gu Lanzhi asked puzzledly.

The bearded deputy general Zhang said in a loud voice: "The imperial edict was delivered to the military camp yesterday, asking us to come to court today. We don't know what's going on!"

Gu Lanzhi nodded in understanding, and soon figured out the emperor's intention. He said with a smile, "Yesterday, the envoys from Xilin arrived in Kyoto. The emperor asked you to come first to intimidate the people of Xilin, and second to let you come to accept the reward. He probably wanted to piss off the people of Xilin."

After hearing this, Deputy General Zhang laughed and said, "I see! What a great reward! Oh, by the way, General, how is your injury?"

When they heard about Gu Lanzhi's injuries, not only the left and right guards looked at Gu Lanzhi, but other court officials also pricked up their ears to listen.

"It's no big deal, just take care of it." Gu Lanzhi said indifferently.

"It is really glorious for the general to have won this victory. It can be regarded as revenge for your father and brothers. It did not really cut off the Gu family's incense. It is a cause for celebration!" A slightly sarcastic voice came.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw a middle-aged man at the end of the military attaché team, looking at Gu Lanzhi and his men with disdain.

When he saw the man, Gu Lanzhi immediately recognized who he was, the fourth-rank ceremonial officer Huang Han.

The Huang family and the Gu family have some connections. Huang Han's father and Gu Lanzhi's grandfather had fought in the battlefield together. However, during a battle, Huang Han's father made a mistake and was stripped of his position as a first-rank admiral and demoted to a second-rank general of the Zhenjun Army.

Huang Han's father knew it was his fault and had no complaints about being demoted, but his descendants were dissatisfied with the Gu family.

Because they thought that if Gu Lanzhi's grandfather could cover up for Huang Han's father, Huang Han's father would not have been demoted. After all, it was a matter of the battlefield, and if Gu's grandfather didn't say anything, the emperor wouldn't know about it.

Moreover, not long after the battle ended, Huang Han's father passed away due to a recurrence of an old injury, and the Huang family hated the Gu family even more.

Because Huang Han's father passed away, the Huang family did not produce another person who could lead troops to fight, so the Huang family was in a mediocre position both in the court and in Kyoto.

So the Huang family blamed everything on the Gu family, and they were happy to see the Gu family members dying one after another.

Every time they received news that a member of the Gu family had died on the battlefield, they would celebrate as a family.

Originally, people thought that Gu Lanzhi would not have any good ending, but unexpectedly, Gu Lanzhi not only did not die but also returned victoriously, and the emperor actually went to the city gate to greet him in person.

Everyone in the Huang family knew that the Gu family would definitely be able to take a further step forward.

So, Huang Han came to make things difficult for Gu Lanzhi! He deliberately mentioned Gu Lanzhi's father and brother in this situation, and deliberately said that Gu Lanzhi had avenged them. Isn't it just saying that there is only one person left in the Gu family who can go to the battlefield!

Everyone waiting to go to court at the palace gate is a smart person. They would be able to understand the implication of Huang Han's words.

Not to mention the ministers, even Lieutenant General Zhang understood the rough outline.

"Mr. Huang, what do you mean?" After Deputy General Zhang yelled loudly, he was ready to teach Huang Han a lesson.

Lieutenant General Zhang doesn't care where this place is. In the eyes of these people, Gu Lanzhi is someone who cannot be offended. If you dare to imply their general, I don't care who you are, I will beat you up first.

When the left and right guards saw that Lieutenant General Zhang was about to take action, they grabbed Lieutenant General Zhang in advance.

Gu Lanzhi also walked in front of Deputy General Zhang, glared at him first and then said: "Do you think this is a military camp, a place where you can do whatever you want?"

Just as Deputy General Zhang was about to speak, Gu Lanzhi scolded him again, "Shut up, you idiot!"

Deputy General Zhang listened to Gu Lanzhi very much, but after being scolded by Gu Lanzhi, he immediately became quiet and stopped talking.

Gu Lanzhi stabilized Deputy General Zhang before turning to look at Huang Han.

"Master Huang is right. I did avenge my father and brother. But unlike you, Master Huang, you are not young anymore but you don't have the glory of your father. I don't know if you will have the face to see your father when you are buried.

I remember that your father had begged for you to get this fourth-rank position, right? You haven't made any progress in all these years. Mr. Huang has a really good character and never fights for anything!"

After a few words, Huang Han's face was distorted with anger.

He is definitely not one who doesn't fight or compete. He has always wanted to move up a few steps. Over the years, in order to move up in his official position, he has found countless ways and given away countless things.

But I don’t know if it’s because of the bad feng shui of their house or what, no matter what he did, it just didn’t move.

Almost the entire Kyoto city knew that he was looking for people to use their connections. When Gu Lanzhi said this in front of so many people, he was actually slandering Huang Han!

Many court officials also looked at Huang Han with a joking smile.

"You...Gu Lanzhi..." Before Huang Han could finish his words, the palace gate opened.

Gu Lanzhi had no intention of paying any attention to Huang Han in the first place. If he hadn't deliberately jumped out to cause trouble, Gu Lanzhi wouldn't have even given him a glance. Now that the palace gate was opened, Gu Lanzhi started walking into the palace with other court officials.

Huang Han's face turned red from holding back his anger, but he didn't dare to confront Gu Lanzhi.

Huang Han knew in his heart that Gu Lanzhi would definitely be rewarded after returning victoriously, and the status of the Gu family would be even more beyond the reach of their Huang family.

But he just couldn't stand the Gu family, and couldn't bear to see the Gu family showing off in front of him. When he saw Gu Lanzhi joking with his deputy general before, Huang Han couldn't help but say those words.
