The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 299 The strange Lin Chong!

After saying goodbye to the Qiao family, **, the capable eunuch, said goodbye to Gu Jingzhi happily. In the slightly reluctant look of Qiao Shuwan, Gu Jingzhi smiled and raised his hand and waved.

The carriage started slowly and drove away from Ningzhou City until no one could be seen. Gu Jingzhi smiled and was about to return home, but he saw two people not far away looking at him with a smile.

Gu Jingzhi's eyes lit up when he saw the two of them: "Cousin, second brother, you two are back this time too?"

"Ha ha!"

The two people were Lin Chong and Gu Huanzhi, who walked towards them with smiles on their faces.

"The border war has come to an end, and my second brother Gu and I have been given home leave. Isn't it just the right time to come back with the angel?"

After hearing this, Gu Huanzhi nodded.

Gu Jingzhi reached out and punched the two men on the chest: "That's great, your family is thinking about you, now we can finally rest assured!"

Although Gu Jingzhi repeatedly told his family that Lin Chong and Gu Huanzhi were doing well at the border, his family was still worried. Now that the two of them are back, they can finally feel relieved!

"Second brother, now that the crisis in Ningzhou City has been resolved, my eldest sister and her children are all living in the mansion. If you miss them, why not go and see them first?"

Lin Chong laughed after hearing this and said, "Compared to me, Second Brother Gu has suffered a lot in the army. He should really go see Second Sister Gu first to stop her from worrying!"

Gu Huanzhi heard what the two said, and without delay, he said, "Then I'll go back to the mansion to see the children first. Brother Lin, please come over when you have time. We can have a good drink then!"

"That's natural!"

Lin Chong replied with a chuckle. After watching Gu Huanzhi leave, he looked at everything in Ningzhou City and sighed, "Ningzhou has changed so much in the past year! If the main streets and alleys hadn't been changed, I wouldn't be able to find my way home!"

"Uh……"

Gu Jingzhi smiled bitterly and said, "It's only been a year. Even if there were big changes, it shouldn't be this serious, right?"

"hehe!"

Lin Chong smiled indifferently.

His words were indeed exaggerated, but the changes in Ningzhou were also real. He sighed, "Our Lin family has lived in Ningzhou for generations. We have seen Ningzhou's prosperity and its decline... But now Ningzhou is finally getting better!"

Gu Jingzhi was silent.

He could hear the emotion in Lin Chong's tone. How could there be a wanderer in this world who doesn't love his hometown?

At the beginning, he obeyed the orders of his elders and took Lin Feng to the capital. He had no choice. After all, Gu Jingzhi was their aunt's only blood relative, and he was alone and helpless in the capital.

He took Lin Feng, left his wife and children, and went to the capital, and finally asked Gu Jingzhi to arrange him in the border army. Now he has been promoted to the fifth rank general for his military achievements.

Although his rank was not high, he had already crossed the barrier between low-level and middle-level generals. If he had military merits in the future, he could even reach the level of high-level generals.

Gu Jingzhi looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry about Ningzhou anymore. You finally made it home, so spend more time with your family! I don't think you two can stay for too long, so don't think too much about anything else!"

"Ok!"

Lin Chong nodded and said calmly, "I'll be returning to camp after the busy farming season. This year, I can join my father and the others for the Qingming Festival to pay respects to our ancestors!"

"Alright!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded and said, "After this visit to your family, you should be returning to the northern border army, right?"

"That's right! We were originally seconded to the northwest. Now that the war is over, trade will soon be open on the western border. In a few years, the northwest will be able to train a cavalry capable of handling all kinds of warfare!"

"We are indeed going back!"

Lin Chong smiled, then looked at Gu Jingzhi: "Do you remember Nangong Shouyi?"

"he?"

Gu Jingzhi was slightly stunned and asked, "Why are you suddenly mentioning him?"

"hehe!"

Lin Chong laughed and said, "That old fellow allowed the Beili Dynasty to fall into their northeastern defense line to resist Wu Tianyao! When he was transferred from the north, he even came to find General Li and said that he would one day get revenge!"

"what……"

Gu Jingzhi smiled upon hearing this and said, "That's great! But we have to wait until they deal with Liyue before we can discuss this matter! Although Liyue's national strength isn't that strong, it can still hold them back for a few decades. By then, I wonder if Bei Lihai will be able to help him realize his dream!"

"You really are..."

Lin Chong laughed in silence, then asked silently, "Do you still remember that old man Baili Gongshu?"

"..."

Gu Jingzhi rolled his eyes.

This guy was the stepping stone for his promotion, how could he not remember him?

But Lin Chong kept asking, what does it mean?

Seeing Gu Jingzhi's helpless expression, Lin Chong sighed, "After returning to Beili, Baili Gongshu was subjected to a lot of criticism. Not long after, he fell ill. Add to that the stalemate in the war between Beili and Liyue, and he passed away within a few months!"

"..."

died?

Gu Jingzhi opened his mouth and finally said helplessly: "It can only be said that he was born at the wrong time! If he could be born in a powerful country, perhaps he would become a famous prime minister!"

"Yeah, that's what I thought too!"

Lin Chong nodded silently and said, "Jingzhi, you know what? The death of Baili Gongshu was a huge shock to me. It's really sad that such a great prime minister died in such a pathetic way!"

"At the time, I thought, since I've become a general of Daxia, even if I die, I will defend the country's defenses. I will never let Daxia face such a fate..."

this……

Gu Jingzhi actually didn't quite understand. He felt that what Lin Chong said was a bit nonsensical.

However, Lin Chong had been in the army for more than a year, and perhaps something had happened that changed his mind!

Gu Jingzhi didn't ask any more questions, but simply patted his shoulder and said, "We all don't want Daxia to become a weak country. Therefore, whether we are civil officials or military generals, we will do our best to protect this land and its people! That way, our service as officials will be well worthwhile!"

"Brother, if there's something you want to do, just go for it. If you can accomplish a few things you want to do in your life, then your life will not be in vain!"

"Go home first! Grandpa and the children are waiting for you!"

"it is good!"

Lin Chong smiled and said, "What I said today is because I saw the changes in Ningzhou, which made me feel emotional. But you are right, those are still far away. I really should go home first and have a good meal!"

"Haha! It's great that my cousin thinks so!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled, and then the two said goodbye.

After watching Lin Chong go away, Gu Jingzhi also returned to his own mansion.

As he was about to reach the door, he suddenly frowned...
