The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 112 Gu Xuanxuan has a dream of becoming a general

Fuguogongfu

In the hall, Old Duke Gu and Gu Jingxuan were discussing the current situation in Fengyao City.

They discussed what arrangements should be made after Gu Jingxuan rushed to the southwest border.

When Duke Gu first heard that his grandson wanted to go to the southwest border,

I was also shocked and even tried to stop it.

But after listening to Gu Jingxuan's reasons, he understood that his grandson seemed to be avoiding the entanglement of the royal princess.

In fact, he had planned this a long time ago, but it just happened that the incident caused by Princess Mingyu became an opportunity for him to leave.

For Duke Gu, marrying into the royal family would only add to the troubles, compared to marrying a prince consort.

He would rather his grandson leave him and go to the battlefield.

They are family-oriented, have been generals for generations, and have protected Qianyao. They have never married into the royal family, nor do they need to marry into the royal family.

The two were discussing something.

Then, a hurried female voice was heard coming from outside the door.

"Brother, I want to go to the southwest too, take me with you!"

Gu Xuanxuan rushed in from outside the door.

Today, Gu Xuanxuan was still in Prince Qi's mansion, accompanying Qi Siyuan who was about to get married.

Suddenly, I heard the eldest brother of the Qi family mention that his elder brother had volunteered to garrison the southwest border and would leave soon.

Gu Xuanxuan hurriedly said hello to Qi Siyuan and rushed back to the mansion.

"Brother, when are you going to the southwest? I'll go with you!"

Gu Xuanxuan ran to Gu Jingxuan and said excitedly.

"Xuanxuan..."

"Ahem..." The old Duke, who was sitting on the throne, frowned, coughed violently, and shouted, "No rules!"

Gu Xuanxuan was no longer afraid, and turned to the old Duke and said, "Grandfather! Why didn't you tell me that my eldest brother was going to the southwest?

I want to prepare in advance, but it’s okay, I don’t have anything to prepare.

Brother, when are we leaving?"

Gu Xuanxuan asked excitedly with bright eyes.

Gu Jingxuan looked at Gu Xuanxuan with some embarrassment, then turned to the old Duke.

I didn't know how to explain to my little sister that I had no intention of taking her away.

Fortunately, Duke Gu took over the conversation and explained it in a simple and straightforward way.

He slammed the table and shouted, "What's the matter? Who said I would take you there?

Just stay home and don't cause trouble with your brother!"

Gu Xuanxuan was a little confused. Stay at home? Why not take me with you?

Gu Xuanxuan turned to Gu Jingxuan in disbelief and blankness.

Pointing at himself, he asked, "You're not taking me with you? Brother, didn't you say you would take me with you when you go to the battlefield in the future?"

Although that was promised when I was a child, it was still promised!

Gu Jingxuan felt a little guilty because his parents died on the battlefield when he and his younger sister were still young.

The two of them were raised by their grandfather, and their little sister has been sticking to them since she was little.

He practiced martial arts himself and his younger sister also followed him. He and his grandfather would not take care of girls.

As a result, my younger sister developed such a carefree personality, which doesn't look like a lady from the boudoir at all.

"Xuanxuan, this is also my first time going to the southwest border, and I don't know much about the situation there."

Gu Jingxuan was thinking about how to explain it tactfully so that his sister could accept it.

"It's okay, big brother. I'm not afraid of hardship. The sons of the Gu family are going to the battlefield, not to enjoy life."

Gu Xuanxuan spoke with great passion.

"Xuanxuan, it's enough for the Gu family to have the eldest brother go to the battlefield." Gu Jingxuan said.

"Brother, what do you mean by this? Do you look down on me? Or do you look down on the female general?

Fengyao has produced more than one female general! Even our mother was a general who was feared throughout the Western Territory.

I believe in my own abilities. One day, I will become a famous female general like my mother."

Gu Xuanxuan said proudly.

Gu Jingxuan thought of his mother, his expression filled with nostalgia and pride.

"Xuanxuan, Big Brother doesn't look down on the female general, and he doesn't look down on you either.

However, this was also the first time that Big Brother went to the battlefield, and the situation on the southwestern border changed rapidly.

If anything happens, even your elder brother can’t protect you.”

As a member of a family of military generals, Gu Jingxuan has never actually been on the battlefield since he was a child.

On the one hand, in recent years, all countries have been recuperating and the borders are relatively stable.

Apart from some minor frictions, local wars were also two-way.

There was no large-scale battlefield.

Even in the early years, the most violent people were the nomadic peoples in the north.

The country became much safer because of the presence of Prince Sheng.

On the other hand, it was because of the deliberate obstruction of Duke Gu.

The old man was getting older, and he was reluctant to send his only two children to the battlefield.

How could Gu Jingxuan not understand what his grandfather was thinking?

Therefore, no matter how much Gu Jingxuan longed for the frontier, he did not suggest leaving.

But now, it's time to leave.

Gu Xuanxuan's eyes were red. She realized that her elder brother had no intention of taking her with him at all.

He shouted anxiously: "I don't want big brother to protect me, and mother didn't ask father to protect her at that time.

Mom can do it, so can I!"

"Nonsense!"

The old Duke was so angry at Gu Xuanxuan that he glared and yelled, "Your mother is your mother, and you are you!

Don't even think about following your brother and becoming a female general.

The battlefield is not a place for playing house. Do you think going to the battlefield is such a simple thing?

During this time, you stay at home obediently.

Isn't that little girl from the Qi family going to get married soon?

You should learn from me, and after some time, the old man will find someone for you to marry!"

"I don't want to! I don't want to get married. Grandfather, you are going too far!"

Gu Xuanxuan ran out crying.

"Xuanxuan...Xuanxuan..." Gu Jingxuan hurriedly stood up and shouted.

"Let her go! You little girl! You don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is." The old Duke said in a deep voice.

"Grandfather, please don't be angry with your sister. Xuanxuan has been like this since she was young, you know."

Gu Jingxuan was worried that his grandfather would get sick from anger, so he comforted him in a gentle voice.

The old Duke sighed, looked at his proudest grandson, and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Gu Jingxuan couldn't bear it, and whispered, "We will set off early tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow..."

The old Duke murmured something, and his eyes, which were still sharp, seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

Looked at Gu Jingxuan for a long time.

He said helplessly, "Okay, Xuan'er, go and clean up."

"grandfather"

Gu Jingxuan stammered, feeling a little regretful, and even wanted to say that he would not leave.

However, the old Duke Gu lowered his eyes, waved his hand, and motioned Gu Jingxuan to go down.

Gu Jingxuan bowed to the seat of honor with difficulty, then stepped back.
