Chapter 794 (1/2)

The outer courtyard of Hou's residence.

Master Gu Zhiwen with his eldest son, Gu Rui, stood in front of the hospital bed.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, mixed with other flavors, a little pungent.

The elder master Gu Zhiwen repeated Gu Jiu's words again, and then said, ”my son has been thinking, is there something important happening in the imperial court, and Xiaojiu got the news in advance?”

The old Marquis thought deeply with his eyes closed.

Gu Rui said in a voice: ”no matter whether there is a big event happening or not, little nine sister specially reminds us that there must be profound meaning. From tomorrow, I will train my own bodyguards. ”

The old Marquis opened his eyes and pointed to Gu Rui, ”you are right to think so. You will start to practice bodyguards from tomorrow. One day, I will die, and the funeral period will not stop. If you don't practice for one day or three days, you may not be able to hold your weapons. ”

”Father...” Old master Gu Zhiwen is sad.

”The grandson obeys his grandfather's instructions.” Gu Rui has a resolute look and sharp eyes. He is not the eldest grandson of the Marquis, who mourned for Jia's family.

The old Marquis was very pleased, ”if I guess correctly, you will soon have a battle to fight. It's up to you to see if the Marquis can prosper again. Perhaps the title of marquis can be further inherited for several generations.

If you can't grasp the opportunity and have no ability to fight against the enemy, you can still keep a little family property if you stop thinking early and be a second generation ancestor

Old master Gu Zhiwen's face turned white. He knelt down in front of the bed and asked in a low voice, ”is it really going to be a war? With whom? ”

The old Marquis said with a smile, ”fool, who can you fight with?”

”Beirong? Or Xiliang? ” Master Gu Zhiwen is not really stupid. He just doesn't dare to believe his own judgment.

Beirong, Xiliang and Dazhou have not started fighting for more than ten years. Even if there is a conflict, it is a small one. Why is there going to be a war all of a sudden.

”Is the court ready?” he asked? Last year, the imperial court could not provide food for the disaster relief. Where did you get the food and grass for war? Do you want to use Beijing warehouse

The old Marquis said in a low voice: ”Beirong and Xiliang will not stop fighting because Dazhou is not ready. I reckon that in recent years, the life of Beirong and Xiliang is not easy, and it has reached the point where we can't do without fighting. Once a war is launched, it will be a war of overthrow. Xiao Jiu reminds you not to forget to practice during filial piety, which is to give you the opportunity to make contributions. ”

Zhou Rui knelt down directly, bowed down and said, ”my grandson will never fail to live up to his grandfather's high expectations and dare not let his ancestors be shamed.”

The old Marquis looked at Gu Rui with relief, ”take your brothers to practice together, don't give yourself too much pressure. I reckon that even if we want to fight this battle, we will have to wait another year or two.

Beirong and Xiliang need time to prepare food, grass and horses, and so does Zhou. You should always pay attention to the grain prices in Beijing. If there is abnormal price fluctuation, it means that war is coming. ”

”Grandson, remember grandfather's instruction!”

Old master Gu Zhiwen frowned, ”I'm at this age. I wonder if your majesty will point me to the border to fight.”

The old Marquis said, ”after I leave, you are the head of the Hou's house. In the war of overthrow, you must go to the border. So don't forget to practice

Master Gu Zhiwen is a little guilty, ”my son has not taken weapons for many years. I am really ashamed of my ancestors.”

The old Marquis snorted and looked very dissatisfied.

”While there is still one or two years to go, quickly pick up the martial arts, don't lose your life in the battlefield.”

The old Marquis was not polite to his son.

The elder master Gu Zhiwen nodded, ”my son will keep his father's instruction in mind, and my son will practice with Gu Rui and them. My son is just worried about how to fight this war? How long can grain and grass last? Although the household department has finally reached balance, it has little savings. I'm afraid that even if there is a salary of two years, I'm afraid it's a cup of water to prepare. If the war can not be solved within one year, the consequences will be unimaginable once the front line is extended. ”

Mr. Gu Zhiwen's words are very insightful.

In a war, we must fight for money, food and logistics.

As long as there is enough money and food, drag can drag the enemy to death.

Beirong and Xiliang can solve the problem of eating by plundering Dazhou.

Who can Zhou plunder?
