Chapter 173 It seems that they have finally become smart.
Gu Changfeng was excited. He admitted that for a moment he put the mission behind his mind, thinking that the war that had lasted for almost a year was finally over.
General Shen's brows relaxed a little, as if he would say something in agreement in the next second.
Just then, a soldier suddenly rushed in: "Report!"
Gu Changfeng felt that something bad was going to happen when he heard this word. Sure enough, the next moment, the man said, "It's an imperial edict, General. The imperial edict has arrived."
"Show it to me." They were the only ones here, so there was no need for anyone to read it out. General Shen took the imperial edict, and Gu Changfeng also leaned over to take a look. It read:
"I heard that the general's battle was going well and the prince was brave in killing the enemy. I am very pleased. I have granted the general the title of the ever-victorious general, a mansion in the city, and 1,000 taels of silver as a token of my satisfaction. The prince will return to the capital and be granted the title. I hope he will inherit his father's legacy and serve the Great Qi with all his heart. Deputy General Xue Ming has made great contributions, so I will give him a yellow jacket and 100 taels of silver. His son is brave and resourceful, so I will grant him the post of guarding the pass. The junior general is still as brave as before, so I will give him 100 taels of silver and promote him to Zuoling......
In addition, the Hu people have sent a letter of surrender, and I have considered a thousand things, and for the sake of the people living in the border areas, I have decided to cease fire for three years. I hope you will protect the border security for my Great Qi."
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Finally, it was Vice General Xue who spoke up: "It seems that they have finally become smart for once."
Xue Zhong was originally quite happy, as that was a fifth-rank position, and it was not easy for him to achieve such an advancement at such a young age. However, when he thought that three years later, the Hu people would gather their strength and make a comeback, it would not be as easy to fight them now.
"I don't know who gave them the idea." Xue Zhong snorted and told the truth, and everyone's faces became even uglier.
Gu Changfeng: "It seems that they reconciled faster than we thought."
General Shen rolled up the imperial edict and put it back in the cabinet in front of the bed. "Since we are not going to fight anymore, let's do it the same way as before. We will train in the morning and help build the city and the nearby people in the afternoon. Let's all go."
Gu Changfeng went back dejectedly and complained to Xiao Wo, "I'm really impressed. If we had stopped fighting at this time, we could have wiped out the whole thing."
Xiaowo: [Hmm~ Why not? Please, host, this instance took five years to complete, and only one year has passed. What do you want to do? It's because you completed it too quickly and too well. How can it be done without some external help? ]
"If nothing else, I just want to know what the Hu people said to my brother? Why must we stop the war at this time?"
[They offered ten beauties as tribute, and your brother took a fancy to two of them.]
Gu Changfeng: "Oh, a reverse marriage, huh?"
[Of course it wasn't all about the beauty. It was mainly because someone observed the celestial phenomena at night and found that as long as there was a war on the border, people would definitely die. So your brother was worried about your safety, so he simply took the person in and wrote an imperial edict.]
"Isn't that nonsense? There will definitely be casualties in a war!"
[What I mean is that the person who died was one of you, Shen Mingjue, Shen Furong, Xue Ming, and Xue Zhong.] Xiao Wo said with some regret: [Even if it is delayed for three years, what is going to happen will still happen, so it is actually useless.]
"Is it Shen Mingjue?" Gu Changfeng asked subconsciously. At this moment, he didn't know that the other party was the real protagonist of the book. He thought he was an NPC without the aura of the protagonist and might disappear at any time due to an accident.
Xiaowo said: [No, don’t ask. You can’t use the process of elimination to spoil the story. ]
Gu Changfeng finally shut up.
