Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

General Luo tried to stop him from going berserk, "Hurry up and leave. Without His Majesty's orders, we can't move at all."

No matter what, they were all influenced by the rumors. Everyone thought that His Majesty was afraid of the Wei family and was ready to suppress the Wei and Li families with all his strength. Therefore, even though they knew that Wei Dongbi was suspected of treason, they did not dare to send troops to help.

Hong Gaoshan wiped the tears from his face, angrily mounted his horse, and rode away at full speed.

General Luo sighed as he watched his figure getting smaller and smaller, then returned to the city along the same route to the Guard House.

"Sir, are we really not going to help Wei Dongbi?" General Luo asked Lord Zhang, the guard of Rongcheng, "There is no news from the capital, maybe the general is really slandered."

Zhang Jingjing said: "If Wei Dongbi is really a rebel, then we are just inviting a dog into the village."

"But……"

"If Your Majesty felt that he was reliable, he would not be so indecisive on the export of grain and fodder, and he would not have reached an accurate conclusion until now," Zhang Jingjie said.

That’s true. It has been a few days since Chigang City was breached. If Your Majesty really believed in Wei Dongbi, you would not have done nothing today.

Hong Gaoshan returned to Paoguagou, but found that the lion of Rongdi was no longer there. There were only corpses of Tang Dynasty soldiers all over the ground, the solemn command flag fell to one side, and blood was flowing everywhere.

He knelt straight down to look for Wei Dongbi, crying, "General, General!"

There was no body of Wei Dongbi! He didn't know whether to be happy or continue crying.

"Gao Shan." On the slope of Paoguagou, several figures with their entire bodies covered in blood appeared.

The news that Wei Dongbi led his troops and died in Paoguagou was sent back to the capital. At that time, Old Master Wei was leisurely fishing. After hearing the news, his hand holding the fishing hook began to tremble violently.

The nearby green branches looked at it and called out in concern, "Old Master!"

Old Master Wei's body tilted toward the side, and he was convulsing from time to time and losing consciousness.

The news of Old Master Wei's fainting reached Wei Bingyan's ears very quickly.

She didn't have time to ask more questions and immediately went to the Wei family.

Wei Zhong, Xiao and others were already quietly waiting in the house. The skilled imperial physician was taking the pulse of Old Master Wei. Wei Bingyan and Li Yuyan walked in anxiously, "Mother, how is Grandpa?"

Xiao squeezed Wei Bingyan's hand tightly, "The old master heard about your third uncle from others, and he couldn't accept it for a while..."

Wei Bingyan said, "I'll go over and take a look."

She had been carefully taking care of the old man's health. She knew his body very well. The news of Third Uncle's death was indeed too surprising. The old man must have been unable to accept it for a while... She just hoped that he didn't have a stroke.

Wei Bingyan appeared beside the bed and saw that Old Master Wei's lips were crooked. Her heart paused and she felt an inexpressible sorrow. "Grandpa..."

The one who was meticulously taking the pulse for Old Master Wei was the skilled imperial physician Li. He had seen Wei Bingyan give the Empress Dowager acupuncture to cure her stroke before. Seeing that she was already there, he stepped aside to make way for her and said, "Mrs. Li, you should give the acupuncture."

Without any pretentious politeness, Wei Bingyan asked Bai Binghui to bring her first aid kit.

Half an hour later, Old Master Wei woke up slowly. He could not speak clearly. He moved his eyes clockwise around everyone in the room, and finally stopped at Wei Bingyan's face. He opened his mouth with difficulty, and saliva flowed from his lips.

Wei Bingyan felt sad deep down.

"Grandpa, you must take good care of yourself." Wei Bingyan said tearfully.

Wei Zhong came over with a cane in his hand and said to Old Master Wei, "Father, my third brother Hong Fuqitian may be fine. Don't worry."

Old Master Wei glanced at Li Yuyan.

Li Yuyan said: "I have reported to His Majesty that he has accepted my trip to the northern border. Don't worry, I will bring Third Uncle back, dead or alive."

Old Master Wei nodded slightly to Li Yuyan and closed his eyes sleepily.

After the emperor in the imperial palace received the news that Wei Dongbi died in Paoguagou, he sat alone in Ganlu Palace for a very long time. Wei Dongbi was different to him from others. Many years ago, he and Wei Dongbi were king and friend, and their feelings were incomparable to ordinary people. He didn't expect that he would die like this.

He couldn't tell what he felt.

The Sixth Prince requested a meeting outside.

The emperor wiped his face and asked the Sixth Prince to come in and see him.

"Your Majesty." The Sixth Prince, wearing dark blue clothes with colorful auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the sleeves and collar, walked in, stopped in front of the desk, and bowed humbly.

"What's the matter?" The emperor tilted his neck to look at his son who looked very similar to him, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The Sixth Prince's calm, dignified face was tense as he spoke in a low voice, "Your Majesty, have you agreed to Li Yuyan's request?"

"What? Do you have any other opinions?" the emperor asked with a frown.

After the news of Wei Dongbi's sacrifice reached the capital, Li Yuyan immediately volunteered to lead the northern border forces. The pawns Wei Dongbi brought were not wiped out, and there were only 150,000 of the 200,000 lions left. However, they were leaderless, and they desperately needed a majestic commander to lead the army.

Li Yuyan volunteered to lead the troops, not as an aide, but as a mighty commander.

The Sixth Prince frowned, his expression identical to that of the Emperor, "Li Yuyan is a civilian official."

"Although he is a civilian official, he has extraordinary skills and has studied Sun's Art of War carefully and can draw inferences from one instance to another. He is not a weak talent," said the emperor.

"Your Majesty..." The Sixth Prince still disagreed, "Talking about war on paper is different from truly strengthening a region. Let me send the troops."

The emperor looked at him deeply and said, "Decheng, Li Yuyan is a man of unfathomable abilities. No one knows how much he is capable of. Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to see how this man can help you in the future?"

As early as when Li Yuyan was selected as the top scholar, the emperor told him in person that he was the pillar of the country.

The pillar of the country... Li Yuyan has the ability of a prime minister, does he also have the spirit of a powerful general?

How terrifying is this person?

The Sixth Prince remained silent. He had long understood that Li Yuyan was an outstanding talent, but he had never thought that Li Yuyan would volunteer to lead the troops this time.

Since he dared to volunteer, it proved that he had the ability to command the army.

He seemed to know too little about Li Yuyan.

"Old Master Wei has fallen ill due to Wei Dongbi's illness. You go visit him on my behalf." The emperor spoke again.

Old Master Wei was once the emperor's teacher.

"I don't have the face to see him."
