Chapter 199: Border emergency, Gu Nanxiao betrays the country
Gu Lingshuang really couldn't persuade Xiao Ziming, and everything returned to calm only when the candlelight went out.
Gu Lingshuang was sleeping very soundly. Xiao Ziming, who was lying beside her, looked at her sleeping face and felt that everything was so beautiful.
He stroked her smooth belly and thought: When will I get pregnant?
Gu Lingshuang moved towards him, and Xiao Ziming held her in his arms.
Nothing happened that night and the next day soon arrived.
When Gu Lingshuang woke up, Xiao Ziming was gone.
She knew that he would be very busy recently. First of all, he had to hold the emperor's funeral, and after the funeral, he would have to face the ascension of the new emperor to the throne. There were many things to do later.
Gu Lingshuang believed that with Xiao Ziming's ability, he would be able to get everything done.
She just needs to pursue her own career and support him.
From this day on, the entire city of Shengjing seemed very busy.
Xiao Ziming goes out early and comes back late every day. He deals with the affairs of the palace during the day, and at night he still has the energy to be intimate with Gu Lingshuang.
Gu Lingshuang is very busy during the day.
In the blink of an eye, it’s only three days until the New Year.
The funeral of the emperor and others was finally over, and the next thing was the matter of succession to the throne, but this was a big event and it happened to coincide with the New Year, so the issue of who would be the emperor was temporarily put on hold.
Just before the New Year, a large-scale war broke out on the border between the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom.
The Great Xia Kingdom had muskets in their hands, so there was nothing to be afraid of. However, what was unexpected was that the soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom also had muskets in their hands.
A gunfight broke out between the two countries, resulting in heavy casualties.
After the news came back, the first person everyone thought of was Gu Lingshuang's biological father, Gu Nanxiao, and there was no doubt that he was the one who did it.
Because when he broke into the prison, he was holding a musket in his hand. After taking Li Jingjing and Qiao Jiaojiao away, he went directly to the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom and became a traitor to the Great Xia Kingdom.
He has a musket in his hand, and he can make it if he shows it to a professional.
I think after he arrived in southern Xinjiang, he ordered his men to work non-stop to make muskets.
Moreover, the news that came in stated that the general who led the troops to attack the Great Xia Kingdom this time was Gu Nanxiao.
This made the ministers in the court panic, because they knew that Gu Nanxiao was very experienced in leading troops and fighting.
He is a god of war and has never been defeated in a battle.
Moreover, he was a native of Daxia and was very familiar with Daxia's military deployment and terrain.
People's concerns were correct, and soon news came from the border that a city in southern Xinjiang had been captured.
When the officials of the Great Xia Kingdom heard the news, they were all panicked. Now that the country was in danger, they didn't care who would be the emperor.
Only with a country can there be a home. If the Great Xia Kingdom is destroyed, all of them will be doomed.
The ministers began to discuss the matter and all agreed that Gu Lingshuang was the culprit for today's outcome, because it was her repeated pressure that forced her own father into a desperate situation and finally took refuge in the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom.
"Tie up Gu Lingshuang and send her to southern Xinjiang."
"No, if we do this, it means that Daxia is afraid of Nanjiang. If Daxia shows weakness, Nanjiang will realize that we cannot resist their attacks, and they will become even more unscrupulous."
"Then what should we do? Should we execute Gu Lingshuang first?"
"That won't work either. Don't forget that Shengjing is now under the control of King Xiaoyao. Who dares to touch his princess?"
"This is not okay, and that is not okay. Are we going to watch the Great Xia Kingdom fall?"
"How can the small country in southern Xinjiang compare to the great country of Great Xia?"
"As long as we can come up with a weapon more powerful than a firearm, we will definitely be able to defeat the Southern Border Kingdom."
"Is there a weapon in this world more powerful than a musket?"
Everyone had different opinions, and finally the old prime minister said: "The fire gun was made by Princess Xiaoyao. She is a woman with many wonderful ideas. I believe she can make a weapon more powerful than the fire gun."
"I hope so."
The old prime minister found Gu Nanyu and Gu Qinghan, father and son.
In the original Pingyang Marquis Mansion, only the third branch's family was still safe, while the first and second branches were completely ruined.
"Master Gu, you are the third uncle of Princess Xiaoyao. You still need to come forward to persuade her on this matter."
Gu Nanyu and Gu Qinghan looked at each other, feeling unsure. However, at this point, they had no other choice but to bite the bullet and go to Xiaoyao Palace.
The first and second wives offended Gu Lingshuang and were tortured badly by her. Only the third wife was spared.
From this point, it can be seen that Gu Lingshuang is a person who hates evil.
However, although she is cruel, she will not deal with others without reason.
For example, Gu Lingshuang had never done anything to their third room.
If they go to her, she probably won't make things difficult for them.
With this thought in mind, the father and son appeared in the living room of Xiaoyao Palace.
When Gu Lingshuang heard that her third uncle and second brother had arrived, she immediately understood what was going on.
She brought Xia He to the living room and saw Gu Nanyu and his son Gu Qinghan at a glance.
The two people also saw Gu Lingshuang and hurriedly stood up from their seats.
Gu Lingshuang smiled and said, "Uncle San, Brother Er, please sit down."
Both father and son felt a little uncomfortable. In fact, they were not very familiar with Gu Lingshuang. When they were in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion before, they knew that the eldest wife had bad intentions. She took care of her on the surface, but secretly had dirty intentions to harm her. In order to protect themselves, the second wife did nothing.
Who would have thought that in the end Gu Lingshuang, the most useless one, would become the most promising one.
After Gu Nanyu sat down, he exchanged a few words with Gu Lingshuang.
Gu Lingshuang picked up the teacup and took a sip, then got straight to the point and said, "Uncle San came to see me this time, probably because of something at the border, right?"
Gu Nanyu looked at her with approval. Gu Lingshuang was no longer the fool she used to be. Before he said anything, she had already guessed his purpose.
He nodded and said, "Yes, you should have heard that the border war is tense. The Southern Xinjiang Kingdom also has fire guns and has captured a city in Daxia. If things continue like this, Daxia may end up being destroyed. So Uncle San came here this time to ask you if you can design a weapon that is more powerful than the fire gun?"
Gu Qinghan echoed, "As long as we have more powerful weapons, we can defeat the Southern Frontier Kingdom. You know, your father is a famous general. With him leading the soldiers of the Southern Frontier Kingdom, they are simply invincible. Our Great Xia Kingdom can no longer resist, so we have no choice but to come to you for help."
Gu Lingshuang smiled: "Don't worry, I know what I am doing. As for more advanced weapons, I have already designed them and they are waiting to be shipped to the border for use."
The father and son's eyes lit up. Gu Lingshuang was truly amazing.
"What's that thing called?"
"cannon."
"Cannon? More powerful than musket?"
"Of course, one shell destroyed the gate."
When the father and son heard this, they were completely stunned.
