Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 142 Your Highness, Let Me Ask You!

At this moment, Gu Chen had arrived at the General's Mansion and was chatting with Zhao Tai.

"How come Prince Zhuang has time to come and sit in my house today?"

Looking at Gu Chen in front of him, Zhao Tai smiled slightly and asked curiously.

Since the last morning meeting, when Gu Chen proposed to lead troops to attack Mobei, his impression of the Ninth Prince has improved a lot, and he no longer looks down upon him as before.

Gu Chen smiled and asked: "General Zhao, I wonder if Prince Jin has been in contact with you recently?"

Zhao Tai's expression changed slightly and he couldn't help but ask: "What does Prince Zhuang mean by this?"

"It's nothing. Jin Wang's people are in the north and know the situation in Mobei better than we do. So, I just mentioned it a little more to see if I can get some news about Mobei." Gu Chen explained.

Knowing that Gu Chen was asking about the situation in Mobei, Zhao Tai's expression softened a little, and he also put down his original guard, and said casually: "The King of Jin has written to me several times, but they only talked about trivial things, nothing serious. A place worthy of Prince Zhuang’s attention.”

Seeing that Zhao Tai was unwilling to confess to him, Gu Chen stopped asking questions and changed the subject with a smile, "General Zhao, what do you think of the current situation between the two countries?"

Zhao Tai was stunned and asked: "Prince Zhuang, if you have something to say, speak directly. There is no need to beat around the bush with Zhao."

Gu Chen said: "This time the third prince of Mobei died on my territory of Da Zhou. Even if Mobei is not held accountable, do you think they can bear this tone?"

Zhao Tai asked: "What does Prince Zhuang mean?"

"Mobei has been harassing the people in the northern border of my Great Zhou for these years. This is already provoking the majesty of my Great Zhou. Even if the third prince of Mobei is not killed this time, and Great Zhou does not have strong means to teach them some lessons, they will still He will act recklessly in the northern region and cover the sky with one hand. Now what happened to the third prince of Mobei will give Mobei an excuse to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Zhao Tai frowned and whispered: "What King Zhuang means is that Mobei has been coveting Da Zhou for a long time. They will probably use the death of the third prince to attack Da Zhou!"

"That's right."

Gu Chen nodded, and then continued: "So, I think I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, should also be on guard and not be prepared until the enemy comes to the city. It's a pity that my father is too conservative now and doesn't want to fight with Mobei and waste the country's strength. .”

Zhao Tai fell into silence and did not answer for a long time.

The other party is actually pretty much what he thinks.

In recent years, Mobei has harassed the border. He has seen it all, and he has long had the intention of going north to crusade. However, His Majesty seems reluctant to go to war, and it is not easy for him to give too much advice.

But now after listening to King Zhuang's remarks, he felt that if Mobei was allowed to continue to run rampant, it would definitely become a big problem in the future.

After a brief thought, Zhao Tai looked up at Gu Chen and said, "Prince Zhuang, what do you think now?"

Gu Chen said calmly: "Train troops in advance, gather food and fodder, and be ready to go. I have a hunch that it won't be long before Mobei will go south!"

Seeing Gu Chen's cautious tone, Zhao Tai also became serious and couldn't help but say: "It seems that Prince Zhuang is more worried about this wild wolf in Mobei than me!"

Gu Chen lamented: "As a prince, I have to consider carefully when it comes to the rise and fall of a country. My father lacks decisiveness now and is becoming more conservative in doing things. When the army comes to the city, it will be my great Zhou Dynasty's crisis."

Mobei is indeed a strong enemy. In the original play, Mobei took advantage of the famine in Huzhou during the Great Zhou Dynasty and went south on a large scale. Six cities were destroyed in one month, the people were displaced, the women were reduced to livestock, prostitutes...

After that, they fought for a year before they were completely forced out of the Zhou border and became vassal for generations.

After listening to Gu Chen's remarks, even Zhao Tai's eyes flashed with admiration.

It seems that he was blind before. The Ninth Prince is not as unbearable as he thought. At least he can see more clearly than ordinary people when it comes to big things, and he does not lack the bloodiness and bravery of the Zhou people.

After a moment of silence, Gu Chen slowly stood up and planned to leave, "Okay, it's getting late, so I won't bother the general at home. But please take the matter in Mobei into your heart, general." .”

"Zhao understands."

Zhao Tai stood up slowly and said: "Prince Zhuang, I want you to stay for a casual meal tonight, and you and I will have a good talk about Mobei."

"If not next time, I didn't inform my family when I went out this time, so as not to prevent my princess from worrying about me."

"Haha, I didn't expect Prince Zhuang to be so affectionate. If that's the case, then Zhao won't stay any longer. We will talk about the matter in Mobei when we have a chance."

"Can."

Immediately, Zhao Tai personally sent Gu Chen out of the general's mansion.

....

Back at Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Jiang Heyan had been waiting inside the house for a long time.

Seeing Gu Chen return, Jiang Heyan's eyes lit up in the room and she hurried forward, "Your Highness, where are you going? Why are you back so late?"

Gu Chen chuckled and asked softly: "What's wrong? Miss me?!"

"You, you are kidding me again!"

Jiang Heyan's mouth bulged, but knowing that now was not the time for flirting, she quickly calmed down her emotions and said, "Your Highness, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Jiang Heyan's serious expression, Gu Chen became serious and asked curiously: "What do you want to tell me?"

Jiang Heyan asked back: "Tell me first, were the gold and silver jewelry brought back last night from Xiankeju?"

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I got it from there."

"I knew it!"

Jiang Heyan pouted, and then said: "When I was sending An Ran there today, I happened to bump into Nangong Yue on the road. She wanted to see what was in my car."

"Did you show it to her?"

Nangong Yue explained: "I saw it! But she didn't see any clues, but I feel like she was still a little suspicious of the gold and silver in my car, and then she sent someone to follow me all the way to Tianyi Guo."

"Does she know that you sent the gold and silver to Tianyi Pot?!"

"You should know. But I specially left someone to stand guard there. They shouldn't dare to mess around." Jiang Heyan said confidently.

"How many people did you send?"

Jiang Heyan said: "Six."

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes and fell silent for a moment.

Six silver sword guards is indeed a lot.

But she had stolen all of the other party's belongings, would she really not mess around? !

After thinking for a few seconds, Gu Chen said: "I'll go out first and come back later!"

Jiang Heyan was wary of Nangong Yue so she sent someone to watch in the store, but she obviously underestimated Nangong Yue's ambition.

Now that this woman has lost such a large sum of gold and silver, she will definitely find a way to make up for it. Even if there were guards watching over the whole world, she would probably find a way to move.

Jiang Heyan's eyelashes trembled, "Your Highness, do you think Nangong Yue will go to hell!"

Gu Chen nodded, "Just wait at home! I'll be right back."
