"What's going on?!" Deputy General Gu Hai and others who went to get some wind secretly noticed something was wrong before they even reached the north gate of Fuming Town.

Wang Buxi narrowed his eyes and put his hands on his eyebrows to make a canopy: "It's definitely not right!"

"drive!"

Gu's army, along with Wang Buxishi and others, quickened their pace back to the city.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Deputy General Gu Hai knew where the uneasiness in his heart came from.

Ever since the great general vigorously developed Yunzhou, Fuming Town has become much more lively from morning to night. But today, although it was almost noon, the streets of the entire Fuming Town were deserted!

Gu Hai's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Tartars had raided Fuming Town?

But that shouldn’t be the case. I only took away Gu’s army, and Fuming Town is still defended by Boss Li!

Even if the Tartars launched a surprise attack, there would be no trace of fighting!

"What's going on?!" Gu Hai's eyes shot towards the soldiers guarding the city like an eagle.

When the other party saw the deputy general coming back, he looked away guiltily.

In fact, he should have stopped the people from entering the city, but he didn't dare to, nor did he want to.

If it wasn't his turn to be on duty today, he would definitely join that group.

“Speak!” Deputy General Gu Hai shouted, like a tiger’s roar, making people’s hearts tremble.

The soldiers guarding the city lowered their heads and whispered, "The teachers of Baichuan Academy are sitting in front of the governor's mansion, and the people have also gone to the governor's mansion to petition!"

Deputy General Gu Hai's face turned pale in an instant. Damn it! Is there going to be a civil uprising in Fuming Town? !

Isn't the general in danger? !

Gu Hai whipped his horse whip violently, ignoring the ban on riding horses in Fuming Town, and led the entire Gu family army straight to the governor's mansion.

Wang Buxi and others followed closely behind, sweating profusely.

If someone steals my home and causes any harm to the general, I will be held responsible even if I die!

When they were three streets away from the governor's mansion, they could no longer move.

Gu Shisan climbed up onto the roofs of the surrounding shops, stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance. His heart suddenly stopped. He saw that these three streets were crowded with people.

They said nothing and just stood there like puppets.

This strange scene shocked even the knowledgeable Gu Shisan!

Immediately, there was some commotion at the governor's mansion.

Then, like a huge rock, it was suddenly thrown into the calm lake, causing layers of waves.

The commotion spread out in all directions like waves.

The people, who had been like wooden men, suddenly erupted like a calm volcano, and started shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Can't retreat!"

"The Yunzhou boundary marker cannot be retreated!"

The overwhelming roar hit the eardrums of Gu Shisan and others.

Everyone then understood what this group of people were trying to do in front of the governor's mansion.

Deputy General Gu Hai couldn't explain how he felt. After serving in the army for decades, this was the first time he saw the people volunteering to fight.

Even when God of War Gu was around, the people would at most help lead the way for them and do what they could, but there had never been such a strong demand to fight!

Wang Buxi took a deep breath, worried that these people would get angry and rush to the governor's mansion, so he quickly dismounted his horse, shouting as he squeezed into the crowd.

"Everyone, please make way. I am Wang Bushi, the county magistrate of Woye Town! I have come to report to the governor!"

Gu Hai and the others also reacted and rushed into the crowd anxiously.

“Make way! Everyone, make way! I’m Gu Hai, and I want to report to the governor!”

"Stop shouting! Let me in!"

It took Wang Buxi and others a long time to squeeze to the door of the governor's mansion. At this moment, their clothes were disheveled and their hair was messy.

Wang Buxi panted heavily, knelt on his knees in front of everyone, and deliberately raised his voice and said, "Your Excellency, a south wind blew last night, blowing the Yunzhou boundary marker a hundred miles north! Please give us instructions!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.

The wind blew the boundary marker a hundred miles north? !

What does this mean? Why can't I understand?

After a long while, the crowd exploded.

"Lord Wang means that we moved the boundary marker a hundred miles north?"

"So are we going to retreat?"

“We should retreat.”

"Hehe, even so, I still feel very depressed."

Everyone's mood was extremely complicated, and the anger was stuck in their throats, neither going up nor down!

The general took action, and although this comforted everyone, the result was not what everyone wanted.

It's like throwing a punch and hitting the opponent, but only touching the hem of his clothes!

It's so uncomfortable!

"Master, are we still sitting in meditation?" Xia Lezhi asked Niu Jinyi softly.

Niu Jinyi sighed lightly, stood up, bowed respectfully to Gu Nanxi, and prepared to leave.

"Master?"

Although Niu Jinyi's voice was soft, it was heard clearly by everyone around him: "Let's go, don't make things difficult for the general."

Despite disobeying the imperial order and facing the pressure of criticism from all over the world, the general was able to move the boundary marker north by a hundred miles. It was already very good!

At the very least, she told the whole world that Yunzhou was not a soft persimmon, and that Yunzhou was not incapable of protecting the five hundred miles. It was just for the sake of world peace and stability that it chose to give in!

"Master, why do I still feel uncomfortable?!" Xia Lezhi's tears rolled in his eyes.

Niu Jin touched his head, and he felt even more upset: "This is called powerlessness."

When someone presses your head down, you have to swallow the grievance!

This was something the people of Yunzhou often encountered before, but since the general came, the people of Yunzhou have straightened their backs up little by little!

They hadn't felt this way for a long time.

They can endure darkness if they have never seen the light.

They can tolerate groveling if they have never stood up straight.

However, General Gu Nanxi brought them light, and even pulled the floor to straighten their backs!

Now, this belief is shattered!

The great general who brought them light had to bow his noble head before the imperial power!

Since when, everyone in Yunzhou has become accustomed to the upright figure of General Gu Nanxi!

In their hearts, General Gu Nanxi can kneel to heaven and earth, but he will not kneel to anyone!

Now, this perception has also been broken!

The boundary marker was moved back 501 miles, making all the people in Yunzhou feel humiliated!

Although General Gu Nanxi tried his best to save Baili, this was even more frustrating! This was a frustration that could not be vented! This was a frustration that even faith had to succumb to imperial power!

Why? !

Why should we listen to the little emperor? !

What did he do for Yunzhou? !

He used the people of Yunzhou as cannon fodder to stop the Tartars from advancing southward.

He failed to fulfill his duty as a monarch to protect his people!

He did not take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and even had to cede 500 miles of Yunzhou!

Why should such a monarch ask the general to submit?

No! The entire Yunzhou is not convinced!
