After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

I’m afraid it won’t be defeated in a few years.

But Zhaohua said that with the appearance of this item, the conquest of Nanzhao and the recovery of the four counties would be just around the corner?

Those four counties are now in the hands of Beidi!

Beidi is currently the country with the strongest military strength, and even Dayong can only retreat a little.

If Zhao Hua had not dragged the Northern Di and Western Rong into the conflict last time, the attack on Nanzhao would not have been so smooth.

At least the two countries have not made any comments on this for the time being.

But according to reports from the front line, Nanzhao spies have already gone to the two countries to seek help with valuable gifts.

In military and national affairs, interests always come first.

There are no eternal allies, only eternal interests.

Therefore, Emperor Yong could not guarantee whether the two countries would interfere?

If the two countries intervene in this matter, it will be extremely difficult to conquer Nanzhao and resolve the threats from Dayong.

"What kind of treasure is this? How could it have such an effect?" Emperor Yong was a little impatient. If it could really help him to defeat Nanzhao and recover the four counties, then this would truly be the greatest achievement during his reign.

When people in the future judge him, he will surely be listed among the wise rulers of that generation!

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you go and see it."

Zhong Ning was confident and determined. No emperor could remain calm after seeing firearms.

Except for a certain dynasty that always emphasized that it conquered the country on horseback, there was another dynasty that had known about firearms for a long time but was able to stand still for two hundred years.

When Emperor Yong heard Zhong Ning's affirmation, he could no longer sit still.

He was about to set off immediately, but was stopped by Zhong Ning. He said setting off was too ostentatious, so he could just go on a secret tour in clothes.

So Emperor Yong had no choice but to order the commander of the imperial guards, Qin Mo, to personally lead a group of imperial guards, dressed lightly and with a small entourage, to provide escort.

Prime Minister Gu had received the emperor's approval and knew that the matter of the prince consort was a done deal, so he was relieved about the future of his son.

But the marriage has not been arranged yet, and this incident has suddenly happened, so I can only wait until I return from the farm to discuss the marriage.

Although marrying the princess may not bring about a bright future as expected, at least one can live a prosperous life by following the princess.

The most important thing now is what exactly is the surprise that Princess Zhaohua mentioned?

In front of the palace gate, Prime Minister Gu smiled sincerely, and under the scrutiny of Emperor Yong, he got into the carriage with a sad face.

Zhong Ning also got into his carriage as promised.

Under the escort of the Black Dragon Guards, they headed towards the imperial farm.

.......

At the same time, in the princess's mansion.

Gu Mingzhe drank a bowl of bitter juice and once again asked about the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness the Princess. When he learned that she had entered the palace, he thought that it might be about his father's request for an imperial decree to appoint a prince consort.

How would she see herself?

Should he be shameless and insist on it, or should he take the initiative to stand on the side of the Black Dragon Guard Chief.

The sentence "He is my man" already shows the position of Qi Yu in her heart.

If I enter the house so rashly, will it make her feel disgusted?

But I really have no other choice.

He admitted that he was a selfish person, and he had already started to go crazy when he confirmed his feelings.

From childhood to adulthood, there has never been a moment like this when he would disobey his father's orders. He is not a suitable heir to the family, but just an ordinary person with his own selfish desires.

In fact, he couldn't figure out whether he did this because he wanted to control his own life or because he really liked Princess Zhaohua.

But it must be said that it was not confirmed before the Autumn Hunt, but after the Autumn Hunt, it was clear that he really liked it.

But on top of this liking, there were also some factors similar to resistance. After being beaten and put in solitary confinement by his father last time, he felt as if he was desperately trying to break free from the shackles of family and responsibility.

Those things were so heavy that they often made it difficult for him to breathe.

He also wanted to be like Fang Ping and Princess Zhaohua, to be able to sing without restraint and laugh freely.

Instead of being like it is now, even a smile has a prescribed arc.

Gu Mingzhe lay on the bed with his eyes blank, thinking about what he had done during this period, and then he couldn't help but chuckle.

He was grateful to the man in black for giving him two swords, which allowed him to take many things lightly between life and death. He was even more grateful to the person who came to save him, who was his beloved whom he had been thinking about day and night.

Now that he has entered the family, he will definitely work hard to take good care of his health. What Qi Yu can give her, he can also give her.

Only I am the most suitable man to stand by her side.

Gu Mingzhe was thinking this when he heard a commotion outside the door. It turned out that his good friend Zhang Mingxuan came to visit him.

His Highness must have given the order long ago, so that he could enter the palace smoothly.

Thinking of this, Gu Mingzhe's heart softened a little.

As soon as Zhang Mingxuan entered the room, he saw his friend's perverted smile, which made him speechless.

"Are you so happy that you successfully entered Princess Zhaohua's mansion?" Zhang Mingxuan asked with a pout and his arms crossed.

"Yeah, I'm glad!"

After receiving the response, Zhang Mingxuan silently rolled his eyes, "But you clearly know that she is not a traditional woman. She even openly said that she wants to keep a lover. As far as I know, there is already one in the mansion."

Gu Mingzhe paused, his voice hoarse, "I know!"

"You know, then why are you still..." Zhang Mingxuan was disappointed. "You, Gu Mingzhe, the most outstanding young master in the capital, with top-notch looks, character, and family background? Why do you have to be so humble?"

Gu Mingzhe said calmly, "I should repay your life-saving grace with my own body!"

"Oh, if you say so, Princess Zhaohua also saved the three of us. Then Fang Ping, Chen Yan, and I... shouldn't we all pledge our love to her?"

Gu Mingzhe:.........

Gu Mingzhe sat up straight, his thin lips pressed tightly into a straight line, his eyes cold and expressionless as he looked over.

"I was just joking..." Zhang Mingxuan scratched his head uncomfortably, then looked accusingly at him, "You've changed... You're not Gu Mingzhe!"

Gu Mingzhe glanced over calmly, his voice neither sad nor happy: "I'm just too tired... I want to give myself a break..."

Zhang Mingxuan:........

Zhang Mingxuan walked up and touched Gu Mingzhe's forehead, then touched his own, and then muttered: "He doesn't have a fever..."

Gu Mingzhe: "I don't have a fever. I just suddenly realized one thing: except for death, nothing else matters in life. Everything else is just a passing cloud!"

Zhang Mingxuan: "So, you mean to say that after experiencing life and death, you just want to make your life easier?"

Gu Mingzhe: “Yeah!”

Zhang Mingxuan: "You don't want fame, responsibility, or a future anymore. Do you also not want your parents and family?"

Gu Mingzhe: "No, how can I give up my blood relatives? I will go back home to visit them often, but I am an adult now, and I want to live my life on my own..."

Zhang Mingxuan: "But it's not right for you to live in the princess's mansion like this..."

Gu Mingzhe: "Just staying for a while, not long..."

Having said that, Gu Mingzhe looked up at Zhang Mingxuan and said, "You talk too much today. I should rest now."

Zhang Mingxuan: "Okay, you take a rest, I won't disturb you. Where's your little princess? Why isn't she here?"
