Gu Yun said helplessly: "How come you're already cocky after just a small battle? You should think of a way to return to the Grand Council."

Chang Geng bent down: "If I succeed, how would you reward me?"

Gu Yun said generously, "What do you want?"

Chang Geng thought about it and said something in a low voice near Gu Yun's ear.

No one knew how shameless His Royal Highness Yan Wang was being indiscreet that even Gu Yun, as a half-deaf man, could not listen to him anymore. He laughed and scolded: "Go away!"

This sentence hit Master Yao who came to report the postwar situation head-on. Yao Zhen said in confusion, "Where does the Marshal want me to go?"

Chang Geng, with his hands behind his back, straightened his waist with an unfathomable expression, and stood up as a noble and reserved flower.

However, when Gu Yun concentrated on talking with Yao Zhen, he retracted the complacent smile he deliberately feigned, his face became heavier and heavier.

I'm running out of time, Chang Geng thought silently.

In the end, Gu Yun lingered until the next day, accompanying Chang Geng to light General Zhong Chan an incense, eating a bowl of hot porridge cooked by Yan Wang himself in the tent. As usual, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the green contents inside and implicitly declared his ambition of 'not wanting to be a sheep', that was also ignored as usual. In order not to become a sheep, he had to eat them without chewing.

He set off early the next morning for the Northern Frontier.

When Gu Yun arrived in the Northern Frontier, he was glad to find that Shen Yi was not yet done for, he really was able to hold back the crazy barbarians, protecting the northern area.

The crazier Jia Lai was, the nearer the end of the Eighteen Tribes was. As Gu Yun expected, after four or five days of fierce fighting, the offensive from the Barbarians slowed down significantly. A stronghold was razed to the ground by the over-excited young General Cai on his pursuit. They found that there was only a bit of Ziliujin left inside. The people had retreated.

Cao Chun Hua said with his arms and legs flailing, saliva splattering: "Jia Lai can make a move, which means that the previous rebel forces have been eliminated or at least suppressed by him, but he still needs to fight and employ people, it is impossible for him to kill all the subordinate forces of the other major tribes. At most, he would deal with several leaders and make an example of them. The rebel forces may still be able to revive."

Shen Yi: "We have to have an opportunity."
