Li Feng’s face appeared ashen, turning the white jade ring between his fingers like mad, his state of mind extremely unstable
Gu Yun whispered: “It’s just that for theone strand of hair would affect the whole body, Your Majesty please consider it carefully”
Li Feng solemnly asked: “Does the Marquis of Order think that, besides you, there are no other available general in my hands?”
It had already come to this, to continue on will only result in a quarrel Gu Yun si he was already dead
At this time, Zhu Little Feet suddenly walked into the War in a small voice: “Your Majesty, I your order outside…”
In the occasion when the E, the palace servants would generally persuade theer outside the hall This action of Zhu Little Feet bore the intention of trying to find a way out for the his appreciation
Li Feng’s eyelids twitched, a few harsh curves for on his facial feature He looked down on Gu Yun and said coldly: “The Marquis should go cool off outside then, avoid getting your head dulled by the s what you should say or what you should not say!”
Gu Yun: “Your Majesty, take care of your body”
After he finished, he quickly bowed and went to kneel in theto ‘cool off’

No one knehat happened this year, it was clear they have already passed the season of the Rain Water, but snow in the capital continued to fall one after another, long and endless Gu Yun had only been kneeling for half an hour, a layer of thin ice had already formed on his formal attire, the black iron on his shoulders covered by fine snow becainably cold
雨水 The “Rain Water”,
the second of the twenty-four solar terms,
around February 18th, 19th, or 20th
wang Guo hurriedly passed by, taking a gliious Marquis of Order, and secretly sighed inside He pitied hi Guo was a smartunder one person, and who had bestowed the thousands beneath him He also understood what it was that he should do
Just like that, the capital’s night beca fell asleep, Zhu Little Feet gathered his courage, opened an umbrella, and shakily came to see Gu Yun
Gu Yun was about to be buried in the snow, Zhu Little Feet scolded the servants waiting in the hallway: “Useless servants, under such a big snow, you still don’t knohere to find an umbrella for the Marquis! Are your eyes just used for decoration?”
In the eyes of the young servants, Zhu Little Feet whose was mocked by thousands of people was already a top official, they suddenly becareatly
Gu Yun blinked the snow for: “Eunuch, don’t scare the children His Majesty told me to come out here to cool down, how am I supposed to do so with an umbrella”
Zhu Little Feet hurriedly ran in front of Gu Yun, intending to help sweep away the snow on his body Unexpectedly, he let out a startling sound as he reached out his hand — the cold black iron on Gu Yun’s shoulders almost peeled off a layer of skin from his soft and plu:
“My Marquis, why ht long, it would be a et hurt In the end, it would only , what , us people practicing martial arts have thick skin and sturdy flesh — I was a little hot-headed back then, I have said toothe Eunuch for your concern in ht about it, then lowered his voice: “How about I send so, let hi, and say a feords to His Majesty?”
Gu Yun shook his head again: “Don’t involve hiht”
Zhu Little Feet pondered about it for athat could be done He was also afraid that E to leave the E, he left the umbrella down for Gu Yun
“Eunuch Zhu,” Gu Yun suddenly stopped him, whispered: “Thank you, but you should take back this umbrella”
Zhu Little Feet was taken aback

With Zhu Little Feet gone, Gu Yun exhaled out white smoke In a state of boredo had said to him at Hu Guo Temple — the Eastern Sea disaster, and the southwest riot, perhaps were not accidental
Slowly, Gu Yunplaced his troops in the Eastern Sea and intended to use naval warfare as a breakthrough
Gu Yun captured the Eastern Sea rebel arle soldier Compared with the wave that was subsequently launched afterward, this matter could be said to resemble ‘a small head but heavy feet’
The entirety of the court had boiled up because of this, Jiangnan Navy was thoroughly cleaned fro Shu Institute’s resources, intending to build up one branch of Dragons, causing the military expenses of forces all four sides to be cut down even further
