After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

This time, Emperor Jingyou and his ministers waited outside the city of Kyoto early in the morning, watching the smoke and dust rising in front of them and the sound of galloping horses coming from far away. Two armored generals in the front of the army pulled the reins not far in front of Emperor Jingyou's ceremonial guard in a heroic manner. The tall horses raised their front hooves and stopped. The young general sitting on the horse had a solemn and arrogant look on his handsome face.

He jumped off his horse, took a few steps forward, saluted, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "General Gu Tingyuan greets His Majesty. Long live His Majesty."

The older general beside him also saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I am honored to meet you. I have fulfilled my mission and brought the Xiongnu captives to your Majesty."

The old general's high and familiar voice rang in the ears of the ministers.

Emperor Jingyou had already stepped down from his jade sedan chair. Smiling, he stepped forward and personally helped the two generals to their feet. "Thank you for your hard work, Generals. On behalf of the people of Daqing, I would like to thank you."

The two men stood up and raised their heads, and the ministers could see clearly who the man in armor was.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is my mission, so why should it be hard work? It was thanks to your Majesty's strategic planning that I was able to defeat the Xiongnu in one fell swoop. From now on, the Xiongnu can no longer threaten the safety of the northern border."

The Duke of Zhenguo's hearty voice could not conceal his pride and joy, and the glittering light in his eyes shone like the sun above his head.

The ministers stared at the Duke of Zhenguo in astonishment.

Wasn't he in the Ministry of Justice prison? Why did he appear among the troops returning from the North?

What exactly is going on?

The ministers and dignitaries who had been whispering excitedly just now were suddenly silent, with complex expressions in their eyes. Looking at the joyful expressions of the Duke of Zhenguo and Emperor Jingyou, everyone suddenly had an idea in their mind.

Shen Yanli stepped forward and congratulated him, "Duke Shen's safe return is a blessing for Daqing."

He looked at Gu Tingyuan standing beside him and said with a smile, "General Gu is the main contributor to this great victory. The Gu family is indeed a family of generals."

Gu Tingyuan looked Shen Yanli up and down, examining his future cousin-in-law very carefully.

Looking at him sitting in the wheelchair, she frowned slightly, then she relaxed her brows when she thought of the letter from the fourth brother saying that his leg could be cured.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Protecting the safety of the people is the ancestral precept of my Gu family and is also the duty of the Gu family."

The two had known each other since they were teenagers. Gu Huaizhi was Shen Yanli's study partner, so how could he not know Gu Huaizhi's elder brother? However, Gu Tingyuan followed Gu Changyun to the northern border when he was a child and could not return to Kyoto for several years. Although they knew each other, they were really not familiar with each other.

But now, this person is his future brother-in-law, so he has to take him seriously.

Emperor Jingyou happily brought the two victorious generals back to the palace amid the cheers of the people.

This time, Ye Qingyu didn't need to send someone to Wanfu Restaurant in advance to reserve a private room. Boss Wan sent someone to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion to explain that the two private rooms from last time were reserved for the Mansion, so that the nobles of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion could go to Wanfu Restaurant with peace of mind to welcome General Gu's triumphant return that day.

Faced with Boss Wan's goodwill, Ye Qingyu naturally accepted it with pleasure.

She would have to cooperate with Boss Wan in the future, so how could she refuse the goodwill he showed her right to her?

When little An An saw his father's majestic appearance, he was so happy that he kept waving his little hands at Gu Tingyuan. Guo and Jiang hugged him tightly, fearing that he would fall.

The little guy had no idea what fear and danger were. He was about to jump down with his short legs to find his daddy. Guo and Jiang slipped, and the little guy fell out of the third-floor window.

The little guy had no sense of danger at all. Instead, he opened his arms and smiled brightly, "Daddy! Daddy!"

Everyone in the room was so frightened that their hearts jumped into their throats. They shouted loudly and rushed to grab him, "An An!"

Gu Tingyuan had already seen his son and was paying close attention to him. When he noticed An An fall out, he immediately pushed off the saddle, flew up like a kite, caught An An, stepped lightly on the eaves of the second floor, turned around and was back on the horse in an instant.

The Gu family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw An An was safe.

The little guy didn't feel scared at all. Instead, he was excited in his father's arms, laughing happily, "Daddy, Daddy is flying!"

Gu Tingyuan glared at him seriously, "Fly your head! Do you know how dangerous it was just now?"

An An looked at him confusedly, and Gu Tingyuan was helpless.

The people's attention was focused on Gu Tingyuan, and few people noticed a child falling from the building.

They saw the handsome and heroic General Gu suddenly fly up, and in the blink of an eye he was holding a child in his arms.

Loud praises arose from the people.

"Wow, General Gu has great skills!"

"Whose child is this? He's so unlucky! If General Gu hadn't taken him over, something terrible would have happened."

"Didn't you hear that child call General Gu Daddy? He must be General Gu's son."

"You know what, the two look so alike. He's definitely the Gu family's child. He's so brave at such a young age, even daring to jump from such a high building. He's obviously a good candidate to become a general."

The people praised An An without hesitation. The Duke standing by was also frightened by An An and deliberately put on a stern face to teach his great-grandson a lesson.

After being lectured by his father and great-grandfather, An An realized the danger of his behavior and apologized aggrievedly.

Emperor Jingyou also heard the exclamation just now. Looking out from the jade sedan chair, he also saw Gu Tingyuan's heroic figure saving An An.

After learning the whole story, Emperor Jingyou said happily, "It is indeed Gu Qing's son. He is so brave at such a young age. Haha, it seems that the Gu family has a successor. The safety of my Daqing, the next generation also has hope."

"Don't bother, Gu Qing. Just take the little one to the palace."

Since the Emperor had spoken, the Duke couldn't say anything, so little An An was taken to the palace to attend the celebration banquet.

At this time, Shen Mingxiu and the fifth prince, who were confined to the palace, also received the news.

When they learned that the Duke of Zhenguo was also in the team returning to the court from the northern border, it didn't take them long to figure it out.

Shen Mingxiu's handsome face was distorted and gloomy.

It really is his father, he is so powerful.

Even he was kept in the dark, luring him into a trap and killing three birds with one stone!

It’s really amazing! I admire you!

He thought that he was sending his own people to negotiate with the Huns, using Pingliang City as a bargaining chip. As long as the Gu family's military power in the northern border was stripped away and his people took power, he had tampered with the Huns' border defense map of Pingliang City. As long as his people drove the Huns out of Pingliang City and back to the prairie, his people would be able to firmly control the northern army.

However, he didn't expect that everything was planned by his father and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion from beginning to end!

Not only did he fail to gain military power in the North this time, he also exposed himself!

This time I’ve failed completely!

Shen Mingxiu crushed the teacup in his hand in anger, not even noticing the blood dripping down.

"Someone, tell the teacher, I want to see him!"
