I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

Gu Nancheng was silent for a long time and then sighed!

“My Gu family has been loyal for generations! But in the end we have ended up in such a situation!!” Gu Nancheng’s eyes were filled with sorrow. If they rebelled, the Gu family, who had been loyal for generations, would become traitors.

In this dynasty with such clear hierarchies, Gu Nancheng's hair turned gray and his eyes became cloudy in an instant.

"Dad!" Gu Dingze clenched his fists. He was the youngest son of the old princess and had been the most favored since childhood. The palace was supported by the old prince and his elder brother. Even Gu Dinglian, because he was a concubine's son and had extraordinary strength, became a famous general on the battlefield in the northern border.

Only he has neither achieved success nor fame. He just likes to tinker with strange things. He is smart but has never thought about making achievements.

Now, the palace is in a precarious situation, the eldest brother is in danger, and the third brother can help his father to fight the enemy. Only he seems to be unable to do anything except being furious.

Gu Dingze's nails dug into his flesh. He wanted his father to fight back and save his elder brother, but he didn't know how to lead troops. The embarrassment at this moment made him determined to stop being a playboy and become a pillar of the family like his elder brother.

"Father, we still have some food left by my sister-in-law in the mountain village, enough to last for a month. The weather is getting warmer, the grass on the mountain is greener, and we can dig wild vegetables. The army will hold on and we will eventually be able to wait for a good harvest." Gu Dinglian narrowed his eyes slightly, with murderous aura emanating from him.

"If we attack Kyoto, I'd like to be the vanguard! With those good-for-nothings in Kyoto, I'm confident that we can take it down in half a month!"

Gu Nancheng closed his eyes, as if making a difficult decision.

Just then, the soldier outside the door reported.

"Report! Your Majesty, there is news about the general. The general and his wife were exiled to the Yellow Sand Land, heading north, and now they have reached Shanhaiguan. The general's family is safe and sound, and they are not in any trouble."

"Report! Urgently rush from 800 miles from Kyoto, the imperial edict has arrived!!"

Gu Nancheng was slightly shocked! Both parties received the news almost at the same time. The emperor was really quick. Let's see what he says.

Gu Nancheng snorted coldly. Chuan Zhibing saw that Gu Nancheng and his men had no intention of kneeling down to receive the order, so he swallowed his saliva and dared not say anything more.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has issued an oral order. The Northern Frontier has won a great victory, and the Zhenbei Palace has made a great contribution. General Dingbei was misjudged due to inaccurate intelligence! The messenger at the time has been imprisoned and will be executed in the afternoon! The order is now revoked, and General Dingbei will be promoted to the first-class marquis. The Zhenbei Palace is loyal and brave, and is unparalleled in bravery. Your Highness will be promoted to the first-class duke!!"

Gu Nancheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and the messenger immediately showed a flattering smile, "Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty the Duke!! Congratulations!! The Zhenbei Palace has reached another level!!"

The Zhenbei Palace has long been second only to one person and above ten thousand people! ! These empty titles, no matter how much they are rewarded, are just for show.

The old emperor’s reward came just in time. Gu Nancheng clenched his fists, feeling like he was punching cotton, which was very uncomfortable.

"My Lord, His Majesty has already sent people to chase after General Dingbei. He will soon take them back to Kyoto to continue enjoying their life!!"

Enjoy life? Or continue to be imprisoned?

Seeing that Gu Nancheng looked unhappy, the messenger hurriedly said goodbye, "Now that the order has been delivered, I will take my leave now!!"

This is an old killer. The grudges between him and the emperor are not something that a small character like him can influence. Don't let him kill you again! ! You should run away as soon as possible.

Gu Nancheng ignored him.

After the people left, Gu Dinglian sighed heavily.

He knew Gu Nancheng too well. He kept his promise and devoted himself to assisting the emperor. He would not have rebelled unless he had reached the end of his rope.

The Zhenbei Army had been irritated by the imperial court. This time the old emperor dared to touch Gu Dingbei, which was Gu Nancheng's last bottom line. He thought he could take this opportunity to rebel, but the emperor's edict came too quickly.

"That's it!! That's all!" Gu Nancheng's tone was full of helplessness and bitterness.

The generals of the Zhenbei Army also sighed! !

No one wants to be a traitor, but there is no hope in this court.

Even if Hu Meng's army was driven out of the border, they were still confused about the future and could not see any light!

Gu Dinglian turned around and left!

"Third brother!" Gu Dingze tried to keep him.

"Forget it! Let him be!" Gu Nancheng's old voice came from behind.

His Gu family might rebel one day, but in the end, it would not be something that Gu Nancheng would be able to see!

Outside Shanhaiguan, the exiled team is getting more and more tired! !

Fragrance of the Rainbow Qiuxiang and Dongxiang supported each other, the little girls were all covered in dust and dirt, the weather was getting warmer, the closer they were to the yellow sand, the hotter they felt.

She had already taken off all the clothes that Shen Lianxin had given her and was only wearing a warm suit.

After traveling day and night for several days, everyone was very tired.

"We're about 100 miles ahead to the pass. After entering Shanhai City, we can resupply!" Zhang San said.

"Boss, I can't stand it anymore. It's okay if I don't have food, but if I don't have water, I'm dying of thirst!!"

After walking for four days and four nights, there was no city in sight. Everyone's water was all gone, and there was little food left.

Shen Lianxin secretly gave everyone water. The situation here was fine, but it couldn't be too obvious.

So, they only gave it in small sips, and the little girls' lips became chapped.

Princess Chaoyang had already lost all her strength. She lay on the cart, and Gu Dingbei pulled her.

"Brother Dingbei, let me go! Let Chaoyang fend for itself!" Without city supplies, everyone had long since despaired.

Gu Dingbei glanced at the weak Princess Chaoyang and said, "Don't worry, we are only 100 miles away from Shanhai City. We can buy water and food there. You will be fine."

Princess Chaoyang's tears fell down. Even on the road of exile, she was still a burden to Gu Dingbei. At this moment, she finally understood that she could never stand shoulder to shoulder with him in this life, no matter she was a princess or just a woman.

Shen Lianxin saw the despair in Princess Chaoyang's heart and handed her the water bag, "Drink some water!"

In fact, she did have water, but because Zhang San and a few other officials were around, she secretly gave it to them to drink every day.

But the long journey was still too much for the princesses and maids who had been pampered for years.

Coupled with the despair in her heart, Princess Chaoyang even had the idea of ​​giving up.

Shen Lianxin was speechless. How could this be any further? A princess is a princess. She is too fragile inside. She has thoughts of committing suicide after suffering a little bit of suffering.

"Once we get to Shanhai City, we'll have supplies. If we can hold on until we get to the Yellow Sands, we can start a new life. You gave up your wealth and glory to go into exile, don't you just want to follow Dingbei and start a new life?"

Hearing Shen Lianxin's words, Princess Chaoyang's eyes welled up with tears, "If, if Shanhaiguan also closes the gates, what should we do?"
