The people called in for the discussion all knew the seriousness of the situation, and each of them was in a heavy mood. So, the moment Qi Jingyun walked into the command tent, he immediately sensed the atmosphere of resentment and gravity. Of course, he himself was not relaxed either, especially since he had once personally witnessed his subordinates being ripped apart by those Medicinal Soldiers.

Even now, Yun Yang hasn’t been found, likely facing a grim fate, and Yun Zhan’s one arm is practically useless.

When everyone saw Qi Jingyun enter, they stood up, and Gu Qingheng, who was originally seated in the main seat, stepped out to clasp his fists in salute, "Greetings, King Yun."

Qi Jingyun looked at Gu Qingheng with a somewhat complex gaze. After he was captured, he hoped someone would rescue him, but among everyone, the one he least wanted to rescue him was Gu Qingheng. Unfortunately, in the end, it was indeed this person who saved him.

"Please take the main seat!" Gu Qingheng gestured invitingly.

Although Qi Jingyi didn’t speak, his mouth was obviously curled in disdain.

Qi Jingrong glared at him, but sadly he ignored her.

"General Gu." Qi Jingyun didn’t even glance at his two brothers, but directly shook his head at Gu Qingheng, "Now the commander is General Gu. How could I overstep my authority? Moreover, it was a disgrace that I was kidnapped, making me unfit to hold the command seal. Nonetheless, when I return to the capital, I will personally ask of my father to resign, but at this moment, I still request to assist General Gu in fighting the enemy."

"This..." Gu Qingheng hesitated. This person’s ability is unquestionable, but would he willingly submit to his command? He could relinquish merits but also avoid trouble. If possible, he’d rather hand over military command and go back to accompany his wife; wouldn’t that be nice?

Zhou Jiang’s glance flickered slightly, even though King Yun spoke sincerely, he is still a prince; would he truly follow a general’s orders? When he left his child in the Yang Family, he stood in the same camp as Gu Qingheng. Of course, privately, he was convinced of Gu Qingheng’s capabilities as a young man, so the last thing he wanted was for Gu Qingheng to be troubled.

"Rest assured, General Gu. I’ve already submitted an official request to the capital to hand over the command seal. I’m willing to become General Gu’s deputy, just like the eighth and the eleventh prince. You can instruct me as you wish in the future." Qi Jingyun certainly knew what Gu Qingheng was concerned about. Since he is willing to relinquish the command seal, he definitely wouldn’t play smart tricks anymore.

Zhou Jiang looked towards Gu Qingheng, only to find Gu Qingheng staring at Qi Jingyun with a complex expression, while King Yun was also looking at him, suddenly feeling somewhat... eerie.

"General Gu, the way you’re looking at me makes me think you might have plans for me." Qi Jingyun squinted slightly, his expression very serious.

"Rest assured, you’re not even as handsome as me; I won’t be interested in someone less appealing than myself." Gu Qingheng, similarly serious and earnest, yet the words he spoke...

"You two, enough!" Ran Lei, who was always a member outside the loop, suddenly fumbled his arm, "My goosebumps have dropped all over the place."

The rest also wore constipated expressions and tacitly walked outside, obviously there was something going on between these two.

Gu Qingheng then calmly retracted his gaze, "I accept your proposal."

Qi Jingyun’s lips curled slightly, then glanced at Ran Lei before calmly shifting his gaze away.

Ran Lei instantly shuddered and hurriedly followed out; his skills were unmatched by anyone.
