Chapter 233 General Rong
Chapter 233 General Rong
"Dad, don't worry. I will work hard and won't fall behind." Gu Dahai said.
"My grandson will also work hard." Gu Ji also said.
"We will all work hard. We will work together and rely on each other," everyone said in unison.
Grandpa Gu looked at his children and grandchildren with satisfaction, and nodded with a smile. "Good! Good! They are all good children."
No matter what will happen in the future, the children's hearts are very close at this moment. They are considering each other and don't want the other to suffer.
The problem of money distribution was solved and it was already evening.
Next, Gu Dajiang said to the smart housekeeper: "Zhixing, take your companions, money, and account books, and distribute the money to the people in the valley."
“Yes,” Ji-sung responded.
Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Old Man Gu who said, "Zhixing, let me inform everyone that we will have a banquet tomorrow night. Please come to the banquet tomorrow night."
"Yes, old man." Zhixing replied.
The Gu family had been busy for a while, so they asked the four of them to go back and rest first, and the other members of the Gu family also dispersed.
Everyone had left, only Gu Fu and Song Renjing were still at Grandpa Gu's place.
The three of them got together again and talked about cooperation with the court.
Song Renjing was still thinking about the missing General Rong, so he asked, "Grandpa, how is the man who was rescued by Shasha Daidai now?"
"The man's external injuries have healed, but his internal injuries will take some time to heal. Why are you suddenly asking about him?" asked Mr. Gu.
"This time when I left the valley and heard King Li talk about the battle situation, I learned that General Rong fought with the rebel army near Weng County in order to stop the rebel army's military advisor from looking for me. As a result, he was seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown. I suspect that the person who was rescued was General Rong."
After a brief thought, Mr. Gu said, "He is a very polite man. He usually stays in the courtyard and rarely comes out. He doesn't talk much, so we didn't ask him about his identity. If you're not tired, we can go and see him. You should know whether he is the real one or not."
"Yes, grandpa, let's go see him." Song Renjing said.
"Okay!" Mr. Gu responded.
"Grandpa, I'm with you." Gu Fu said.
"Okay!" Grandpa Gu smiled and picked up his granddaughter, and took Song Renjing to the guest room next to the kitchen.
Zhisheng went forward and knocked on the door: "Sir, are you awake? Our old master, young master and young lady are here to see you."
As Zhisheng finished speaking, the man in the room said, "That's convenient. I'll open the door right away."
After a while, the door opened from the inside.
The man in the room first bowed and greeted Mr. Gu and Gu Fu.
Then he met Song Renjing's eyes. The man was shocked for a moment and was about to kneel down. Song Renjing stopped him in one step, "It's you, let's talk inside."
After the three of them sat down in the room, the man kowtowed to Song Renjing respectfully, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to His Majesty the Crown Prince. I am guilty, please punish me."
"What crime have you committed?" Song Renjing asked in a deep voice, looking solemn as he faced General Rong. The aura of the Crown Prince was fully revealed.
General Rong's forehead was already sweating, but he didn't dare to wipe it off. "As the commander-in-chief, I should not leave the barracks without reason. I should not have put myself in danger and abandoned tens of thousands of soldiers when the enemy's help had arrived, even though I knew I was no match for them. I have not only violated military law, but also betrayed your majesty's trust. I deserve to be punished."
After General Rong finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and waited for Song Renjing's decision.
Song Renjing was silent for four or five breaths, then he slowly said, "I heard from Uncle Li about your matter. Considering that you are devoted to me, I will not pursue it this time, but remember there must not be a next time."
General Rong, who was lying on the ground, finally dared to raise his head. He looked at Song Renjing with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your forgiveness. I will never do it again!"
"Okay, Uncle Rong is still injured, so please get up and answer." Song Renjing said in a gentle tone.
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness." General Rong said.
"Who hurt you?" Song Renjing asked.
General Rong thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I have never seen him on the battlefield.
But this person has extremely high martial arts skills and strong internal strength.
Originally, I was confronting the military advisor and his men. I was about to win!
This man suddenly appeared, his martial arts skills were extremely vicious, and every move was deadly to me.
I fought several people, but was defeated and fell off the cliff. When I woke up, I found that I had been rescued by the Gu family. "At this point, General Rong bowed to Mr. Gu and thanked him silently.
"The people fighting with you are named Chen and Lu." Song Renjing asked.
"Your Highness, that's right," said General Rong.
"Very good, I guess they are the two people who joined forces to kidnap me. One has strategy, the other has force, but instead of charging into the battlefield, they have the leisure to confirm the life or death of me, the emperor's grandson. Haha, it seems that this rebel army has many cards up its sleeve." Song Renjing said.
"Your Highness, please allow me to leave the valley as soon as possible and lead the army to resist the rebels." General Rong said.
"No hurry, I just came back from outside, and now the army has been handed over to General Xu.
Moreover, the news of the commander's disappearance must have already been passed back to Longcheng where the rebel army was.
However, the rebel army has not yet launched a war. You should stay here and recover. When you are fully recovered, tell him about the valley. "Song Renjing told him the news outside the valley.
"Yes, I obey your order." said General Rong.
"General Rong, you need to remove the restrictions to enter the valley, and I am no exception. Grandpa Gu, please remove the restrictions." Song Renjing said.
General Rong also obeyed and said to Mr. Gu: "Sorry for bothering you, old sir. Rong is willing to follow the rules of the valley."
Old Master Gu had already seen his granddaughter's hint, so he smiled and said, "Haha, General Rong, please don't blame me. I have already given it when you were unconscious. There is a restriction in your body now."
General Rong did not find anything wrong with his body. Moreover, his own grandson had been abdicated, so what did he have to be afraid of?
"As I should. We should always be on guard against others. From now on, I will definitely follow the rules of the valley." General Rong clasped his fists towards Mr. Gu.
"Okay. General Rong, while you are recovering from your injury, you can also go for a walk around the valley instead of staying indoors all the time. The scenery in our valley is quite pleasant.
The servants at home will also report back the news from outside. If there is any news about the war, I will send someone to inform the general, and the general can rest assured and recover from his injuries. "Mr. Gu said.
They didn't know the man's identity before, and since he didn't want to go out, they didn't force him.
Now that we know he is the general and that his granddaughter has placed him under restrictions, there is nothing to worry about.
"Yes, thank you, old sir." said General Rong.
He had no idea where this place was before, and he saw strange furnishings in the house. He was also guarded by wild beasts several times when he went out, so he did not dare to act rashly. Now that the master had spoken, he had no scruples.
Beasts (Big Orange, Big White, and a group of wolves): Bah, you shameless fellow, who is watching over you? I am very busy, okay? That is called a chance encounter! Understand?
