Chapter 918

....
918 All’s fair in war, I understand!
“Good!” Old general Peng clapped his hands. Good! Good! She really wasn’t inferior to men! I’ve never seen such wonderful Kung Fu other than from the Peng family’s daughter! Very good! Hahahahahaha!”
Gu Hui sheathed her sword and cupped her fists at old general Peng. She then turned around and bowed to the Emperor and Empress.
“Be careful, sister Huihui!”
Just as Gu Hui’s back was facing Princess Xing Nan, Gu Xin loudly reminded her.
Gu Hui’s movements paused. She threw away her sword and bent over. With both hands on the ground, she did a 360-degree spin and landed a punch on Princess Xing Nan who was attacking her.
Princess Xing Nan dodged.
Gu Hui smiled at Princess Xing Nan.”All’s fair in war, I understand!”
……
Everyone from the great Zhou was very satisfied with this banquet for the Southern Star diplomatic mission, except for Li Shan. However, she was no longer important.
After losing a few rounds in a row, the people of Xing Nan country felt that they had lost face and were not in the mood to discuss a deal with the Emperor, so they returned to the Posthouse.
The Emperor asked everyone to go home and asked the four members of the Gu family to wait alone.
In the Imperial study, the Emperor laughed wildly.”Zhen knew it, I knew you two little girls could do it! Huihui, I thought you were going to throw her out directly! It seems that you didn’t stand on the plum blossom pillars for nothing and you didn’t wear the sandbag for nothing!”
“Thank you for your praise, Emperor!” Gu Hui replied.
Her attitude was neither warm nor cold, and the Emperor also understood it. Moreover, he could not argue with a little girl who had just won him a thousand war horses.
“The Imperial court wants those one thousand warhorses. I’ll give you whatever you want,” he continued.
Gu Hui looked at Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian hesitantly.
The Emperor was unhappy,”you’re not allowed to give the things you want to others!” So, what do you want?”
Gu Hui took a deep breath, got up and knelt down. “Your Majesty, I want to go to kun city and join the Peng family’s Army!”
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Xin looked at Gu Hui in disbelief.
Gu shouxin raised his eyebrows. This was within his expectations. His eldest niece seemed to yearn for the Army. Even if she followed the other sisters to make fragrant things for the girls ‘family, it could not change the passion in her bones.
The Emperor was stunned. He looked at Gu shouxin with a troubled expression.
Gu shouxin lowered his head and did not look at the Emperor.
The Emperor was furious. He looked at Gu Hui, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked her to get up first.”Your parents, grandparents, are not here. I can’t promise you that. It’s fine if you’re a man, but you’re a girl. It’s not easy for this one to handle you!”
Gu Hui looked at the Emperor. Your Majesty, I have a question. I’m not sure if I should say it.
“Speak!” The Emperor said.
“I was born in the countryside and can’t speak,” Gu Hui said. Second Shu is an official in the court and this official’s daughter is worried that if she spoke incorrectly, she would anger the Emperor and implicate second Shu.”
The Emperor was unhappy again,”am I that kind of person?” Besides, your second uncle is your second uncle. You’re still a little girl, so I won’t stoop to your level. Speak, let this one hear, this one will definitely not blame you.”
Gu Hui said,”I’ve heard that all the women in Xing Nan country can March.” A girl from the Peng family could also lead an Army, and eldest Madam Peng had also made a contribution in the past. So, why didn’t the Emperor encourage women to March? Old general Peng had just said that women would not lose to men! This official’s daughter has a body of good strength since young. In the past two years, I’ve learned some martial arts from second uncle. This official’s daughter believes that she can compare to the lowest level of soldiers in the Army! So, Emperor, why don’t you give women a chance to go to the battlefield? The women of our great Zhou Dynasty also have the heart to protect our country!”
