"14 years old?" Murong Yan frowned, "I remember that the age of enlisting in the army ten years ago was eighteen, right? How could a general enlist at 14 years old?"

"Back to the king, I'm a farmer. My father and four brothers died in battle. If I don't enlist in the army, my mother will have no food to pay taxes, let alone fill my stomach. That's why I falsely reported my age and followed the villagers. I joined the army with my companions." Gu Ming said it was calm, but how dangerous was the situation at that time that a 14-year-old child was required to enlist in the army to relieve the mother's burden?

"Where is the general from?"

"Return to the king, the minister is from Kuaiji."

Hearing this, Murong Xun felt a little hesitant. Kuaiji is the fief of Gongshuji, and he has done a lot of things in the fief all these years to fish and meat the common people. The state of Qin has laws: At that time, if the number of enlisted people in various places was not enough, the feudal landlord could pay the tax. At the end of the year, the government would return it according to a certain percentage. A lot of children came to make up the count, and Murong Yan sneered when she thought of this, of course she knew that this kind of thing happened in basically every county fiefdom, but now Uncle Ji broke into her hands, and she didn't deal with it When do we have to wait?

"Where are the fellow villagers who joined the army with you?"

Gu Ming paused and said, "They all died in battle."

Murong Xun was startled, but didn't realize it all at once, "All... died in battle?"

Gu Ming didn't speak, Murong Yan looked at Gongsun Ju who was standing aside, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but she suddenly thought of her father and brother whom she hadn't seen for many years... The current situation is chaotic, which family is still intact What about?

"... I know." Murong Yan said to them with a heavy heart, "You guys go down first."

"Hi!"

"Hi!"

"Hi!"

After the three of them saluted, they walked out of the hall, and Murong Xun suddenly remembered something, and said, "—General Gu, stay here."

Hearing this, the young man named Gu Ming turned around, lowered his eyes, turned back, and stood still on the spot.

Murong Xun asked Gongsun Ju carefully about the battlefield, and Gongsun Ju knew everything he said, and the conversation between the two of them was probably over after a stick of incense. It was Murong Xun who called Gu Ming who was standing aside, " Where did General Gu learn from?"

Gu Ming said, "Back to the king, the subject is General Gongsun."

"Huh?" Murong Yan looked at Gongsun Ju, and said with a smile, "Ai Qing got such a high apprentice but didn't tell Gu?"

Gongsun Ju laughed loudly, "How can such an old man be a young man's teacher? I just gave him a few books and let him learn by himself."

Murong Xun nodded, and didn't ask any further questions, her own purpose was not here, so she asked again, "Does General Gu have a family?"

"Go back to the king, minister, minister...haven't married yet."

"As the saying goes, if you start a family and start a business, and a general is a good-looking talent, you still have to pay close attention to the important matter of marriage." Hearing this, Murong Yan felt a little happy, and thought about the unmarried woman who was about the same age as Gu Ming in the clan, and felt something in his heart. Concerned, he tentatively said, "Or does it mean that the general already has someone he likes? If so, I can only marry you for the general."

She said it in a calm manner, as if the gift of marriage can be given casually, but as the name suggests, her pretty face turned red in an instant after hearing these words, and she didn't feel anything at all. Just now, his demeanor was calm, and there was even a trace of panic, "Chen, Chen..."

Stuttering, do you really have a sweetheart?

On the other hand, Gongsun Ju who was on the side smiled and said, "Don't make fun of this kid, Wang Shang. How can he have a sweetheart? He blushes and stammers when he sees a girl. He is so shy. Wanting to marry a wife is difficult!"

Murong Xun was satisfied after hearing this, but he didn't know how to ask more questions, so he changed the subject and asked a few details about the capture of Ba Wang alive at that time, Gu Ming answered politely, without being coquettish or dry, and now Murong Xun was very upset. She was even more satisfied, long and short, she had talked with those two for almost an hour, if she hadn't remembered that the memorial had not been approved, she might have talked about it for a while.It's not her fault either, once Yan Wuwei left, she was full of words and didn't say anything, and finally met someone who looked pleasing to the eye and was chatty, so of course she said a few more words.

It was almost noon when Murong Xun finally let Gongsun Ji and Gu Ming go back. As soon as the two of them left, Tangtang, the court lady on the back, came with a bowl of medicinal food. Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood, this time Murong Xun obediently drank the medicinal food He didn't complain about anything, and when he was done, he told Tangtang, "Find someone to go down and check this Gu Ming carefully, to see what kind of background it is, and if there's anything messy about it, is it a real gentleman?"

Tangtang agreed, "Your Majesty wants to marry General Gu?"

Murong Xun let out an "En", put the bowl on the table, and said with his hands behind his back, "Twenty and Four dared to enter the enemy's camp alone to capture Ba Wang alive. Our Qin Kingdom has never produced such a warrior for many years."

"General Gu is young and promising, he is indeed a rare general."

Murong Xun thought for a while, and then said, "You said, betroth Princess Qinghe to him—how about it?" Naturally, Murong Xun didn't just think about it, she had a loose temper, and when she became the Queen of Qin, she worried about the country's affairs. She was already very tired, so naturally she didn't bother to pay attention to the clan, but now the clan didn't know good from bad, she wanted to let it go, but the other party wanted to ride on her head.
