”I can't be sure right now. We'll talk about the situation when the time comes. I do not want the Guo Family Army to be sacrificed in the hands of bandit groups like the Sea Clan. ” Guo Nan smiled sinisterly, like a cunning fox.

Dugu Hong had a premonition that some people were going to suffer great misfortune …

Guo Nan grabbed the ponytail of the general who did not check the rations and cursed loudly. The other generals watched on helplessly, taking joy in his misfortune, but at the same time, felt the same way!

The fangirl had been wronged to the point that Tian Tian shouldn't have been called 'doorless'. The flour was transported out of the Mayor's mansion by the Young Prince, and it was arranged by them. Who would have thought that it would be powdered stone? Who would check the things brought by the Young Prince when they had nothing better to do?

Guo Nan's excuse was that they must check the rations before marching. It didn't matter who was in charge of the organization, it would be the same. He ”framed” the general of the return army and used his name to test his ability to do things. He did not inspect the grain and did not pass. He cut off the position of the main general and made him ”wear the crime to gain merits”.

The rest of the main generals were sympathetic, and they swore that when they worked under the Young Prince in the future, they would be careful and not disobey or fight back, and that they would be willing to listen to anything they said or do like a ”dog”.

As long as they could win the battle, it didn't matter anymore.

Guo Nan called Huang Bo to his own carriage.

After Huang Bo entered the carriage, he was extremely nervous. He hurriedly tried to recall if he had done something wrong as cold sweat ran down his forehead.

Guo Nan leaned on the reclining chair, his expression cold as he stared at Huang Bo.

After a few minutes, Huang Bo felt as if he had lived for several lifetimes.

He had never been so afraid of a person before, not even Guo Qian, who had single-handedly promoted him to be a main general.

Guo Qian was violent and lecherous, but as long as he was willing, and dealt with the matters that came out of his mouth, and stabilized the hearts of Guo Ziyi's original troop, and tried his best not to offend him, he could stay in Fenyang City very well.

But, Guo Nan was different.

Huang Bo did not find any obvious weakness within Guo Nan. He was unable to judge what Guo Nan would do in the next moment.

Huang Bo was in a bad mood as he knelt on the carpet with both knees, with his head lowered deeply.

”Huang Bo, get up and sit down. This king has something to ask you.” Guo Nan said indifferently.

”Yes.” Huang Bo crawled up. Seeing that he had nowhere to sit, he sat cross-legged on the blanket.

”You are now the general of the Guo Family Army, so you have to take responsibility for a lot of things, don't just randomly ask me anything. My energy is limited, so I can't care so much. ”

”Yes.”

”You are someone that Guo Qian promoted. Logically speaking, I shouldn't have chosen you as a general. But the person I admire the most is someone who has the courage to do so. You are not as simple as a scholar on the surface, are you? ” Guo Nan stared at the thick layer of cocoon around Huang Bo's right palm.

Huang Bo nodded: ”This general has been practicing the sword, training the metal elemental energy, and has been stuck at the ninth level of the Condensing Yuan Stage for a long time, unable to advance at all.”

”Then that's it. You are not weak, you can be said to be courageous and scheming. It is most appropriate for you to be the general.” You have always been a suspicious person, so there is no need for me to doubt you. You have always been a suspicious person, and you have always been a suspicious person. When I am here, I will naturally trust you, but if I am not here any longer, who knows if you will become the second Guo Qian due to the heavy burden of your troops? ” Guo Nan's eyes were gloomy and cold, staring straight at Huang Bo.

Hearing Guo Nan's words, Huang Bo's entire body was drenched in cold sweat, and his clothes were instantly soaked.

”Go back and slowly think about it. I'm going to the Tianwu Academy in the early spring next year, so before that, you can tell me the answer. If I am satisfied, I will raise you to the rank of Marshal. If it is the other way around, I will not spare your life. ”

Guo Nan waved his hand and left.

As he got out of the carriage, Huang Bo's vision darkened as he staggered and fell onto the ground …

Returning to the Fenyang City, the Guo Family Army began to rest and prepare for the defense of the city. If the Sea Clan wanted to attack Li Tangguo, the Fenyang City was a land that they had to pass through. The other routes they could take were either the boundless desert or dangerous peaks that blocked them. The Fenyang City Fortress was an artificial natural moat that couldn't be crossed.
