Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

"Your Highness, I have already inquired about the situation of the people in the village. Please take a look."

Gu Xu picked up the stack of papers and spent more than a month to get a thorough understanding of this group of people. Now, after reading it, he really didn't know whether to say that his sister was lucky or carefree.

They are all desperadoes.

He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Go and call the princess over."

Gu Xu held one of the pieces of paper, his eyes falling on the two words "Lin Fei". This wanted poster had been posted in Qizhou for some time, and the face could no longer be seen due to wind and sun, but the boy's sharp eyebrows and eyes, like a knife out of its sheath, could be vaguely seen.

At the age of sixteen, he dared to sneak into a brothel alone, and killed five enemies with his own hands, with each kill hitting the vital points.

Courage and means are both indispensable.

He was able to hide right under the nose of the Qizhou prefect and live in peace with this group of people, which shows that he knows some strategies.

If he had not committed murder, he would indeed be a promising talent.

The remaining seven men each had a murder or important case on their hands. As a superior, Gu Xu naturally knew that this might be beyond his control, but the law is the law and it is unforgivable.

When Gu Zhen arrived, Gu Xu was already handling official business with an expressionless face.

Her heart skipped a beat and she looked at the pile of wanted posters on the desk. However, there was no way to hide this matter, so Gu Zhen leaned forward and massaged her brother's shoulders in a flattering manner.

"Brother, you've worked hard, you need to rest. I'll rub your shoulders and help you relax!"

My father's body was damaged by overwork in his early years, and Gu Xu has been helping to handle government affairs in recent years.

Gu Xu remained calm: "It's nothing but courtesy."

Gu Zhen curled her lips and asked the question even though she knew the answer.

"Royal brother, you already know everything, but you are still playing dumb with me. It's better to kill me or keep me alive."

"Killing someone means paying with one's life. How can I, as a prince, condone this?"

Gu Zhen picked up Lin Fei's wanted order and said, "Brother, the governor of Qizhou allowed his nephews to commit crimes. These people have nowhere to turn and are forced into a desperate situation. I don't believe you don't know that there are many ordinary people in this world who are at the mercy of others."

"If everyone can pick up a knife and kill people for revenge when they are bullied, wouldn't the world be in chaos? What's the use of the government? I am the prince, but I can't know everything. Every year, I investigate and punish some officials who don't do their job, which is my best effort to restore peace to the people. Zhen'er, the law protects everyone, not just individual cases."

"If this man named Lin Fei is willing to wait a little longer, he can wait until I order a search and seizure of the Qizhou prefecture." Gu Xu had originally intended to take action against this person.

Gu Zhen knew that he was right, but Your Highness, in the original plot, you were so angry for your sister that you destroyed the entire village.

How innocent are those old, weak, women and children?

So this time, privilege must be exercised.

"Royal brother, Lin Fei and his eight companions have gone to the northern frontier under disguise. They plan to join the army, kill the northern barbarians, and use military merit to wash away their sins. He is really a promising talent. If you kill him, you will definitely regret it."

Gu Zhen tapped Gu Xu's shoulder hard, very diligently.

"Nowadays, the military talents are declining, and the civil officials are suppressed everywhere. Even the martial arts schools can't be opened. There are so many nonsense everywhere. My royal brother, look, no matter what the young men are from, they are like the powerless women and children. Is this the situation you want to see?"

"Brother, if you show us your kindness, Lin Fei and the others will swear allegiance to you. I don't say that all of them are worthy of being generals, but they will definitely have no problem charging into battle for you."

Gu Xu was silent. His men were training military generals, but the more they selected, the more powerless they felt. The gap was too serious. Not to mention compared with the mighty old generals, even compared with the new generals who were fighting in Lingnan, they were far inferior.

Is Lin Fei really so brave?

"Brother, I have thought about this and I still feel uneasy. It's all my fault for being willful. If one day the Second Prince of Saibei finds out that his wife is an imposter, what should we do if he gets angry and attacks our Great Yan? Therefore, the right thing to do is to train military generals in these two years."

Gu Xu sighed and pulled his sister to sit aside: "Zhen'er has grown up and knows how to share the worries of her father and brother, but this is not so easy. It is unknown what Lin Fei will become."

Gu Zhenzheng took advantage of this time to sort out a set of rules.

"I'm in Qizhou, and I often see children playing with homemade firecrackers. In the capital, there are also fireworks during festivals. One day, I was idle and thought, if these things can be used on the battlefield, how amazing will their power be?"

There are often people injured by fireworks and firecrackers, and fire incidents caused by them are not uncommon every year. Gu Xu understood it almost as soon as he heard it.

"Brother, Lin Fei told me that if fireworks can be used with iron tools to create an explosion effect, the lethality will be amazing. We have asked merchants who specialize in fireworks and firecrackers, and they said that this thing is actually not difficult, but it requires manpower, financial resources and time to research. Our court has sulfur mines and saltpeter. If we follow my idea, we will definitely succeed."

Gu Xu seemed to have opened up a line of thought that he had never imagined before. No matter how powerful the Northern Frontier Cavalry was, they were not as powerful as firepower. Fireworks could fly into the sky, so why couldn't weapons kill people from a distance?

"Very good, very good! Zhen'er's words have enlightened me! I think I understand!"

Gu Zhen stopped there, she believed that Gu Xu would not let her down.

With good generals and firepower, what are the mere Northern Frontier Cavalry?

How can flesh and blood compete with hot weapons?

Gu Xu was very excited. He had discussed with Gu Zhen for a long time but still felt unsatisfied. He just thought that his sister did not understand these things and must have learned them from Lin Fei.

It seems that Lin Fei is indeed a promising talent!

Now Gu Xu is in need of a good general who is loyal to him, and Lin Fei is just the right person. He has no complicated involvement with the capital, and he is trying to clear his name because he committed a murder. With a combination of kindness and force, he can indeed be his confidant.

But isn't my sister paying too much attention to him?

Gu Xu suddenly came back to his senses: "Zhen'er, you and Lin Fei..."

Gu Zhen was shy for a moment: "My brother has guessed it, right?"

"......" No wonder she spoke so well of him, it turns out she is his sweetheart!

"Have you ever secretly decided to spend your lives together? Have you ever done anything out of the ordinary? Did that kid bully you?"

Gu Zhen quickly waved her hand: "Brother, Lin Fei is a gentleman and has never been frivolous with me. He promised to come back and marry me after he has made military achievements!"

Gu Xu frowned, and after a while he snorted coldly: "Then I have to examine him carefully. If he can't make it on his own, how can he marry you?"

"He didn't know you were a princess?"

Gu Zhen shook her head: "No, I just thought I was the daughter of an ordinary teacher."

"Before I approve of him, you are not allowed to contact this person again," Gu Xu glanced at her calmly, "Whatever I do, you are not allowed to beg for mercy, otherwise I will punish those people according to the law."

Gu Zhen smiled with her eyes curved: "I understand, my royal brother."

Gu Xu had made up his mind and asked Gu Zhen to go back first. He still needed to discuss the next steps with his father.
