Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Minister of War, who was in charge of distributing the rations, applied for the first batch of food that the commoners paid as tax to be sent to the various military camps first.

Gu Yihan lowered his eyes and looked at his daughter.

The child’s brows didn’t move at all and she slept soundly and obediently.

He nodded. “Alright, the Ministry of Revenue’s Minister Shang can take note of this. Follow the secretary later to draft an imperial edict.”

The Minister of Revenue lowered his head and agreed, but he secretly looked at the Minister of War.

His Majesty rejected his suggestion.

The Minister of War requested for food for the soldiers and His Majesty agreed.

What kind of logic was this?!

From there, each time an official said bring up political suggestions to discuss on their feasibility, Gu Yihan’s first reaction would be to go and see his daughter’s reaction.

Although Gu Nuo’er was young, she could actually predict whether some things will turn out good or bad.

If his daughter was unhappy, he wouldn’t agree!

At this moment, the city patrol officer in charge of patrolling the vicinity and the suburbs of the capital stepped out of the group.

He cupped his hands and reported with a serious expression.

“Your Majesty, this subordinate has received many letters from our scouts recently. Many people with strange whereabouts and unknown identities are approaching the capital from the east, west, and south roads in the suburbs of the capital.

“This subordinate has already sent people to investigate, but to no avail. The capital is the hinterland of Great Qi and is also where the emperor lives. It’s extremely important.

“This subordinate is afraid that bad people will take advantage of the situation to enter. Therefore, this subordinate requests Your Majesty to mobilize the army to help. We’ll definitely investigate the matter thoroughly!”

This was a serious matter and Gu Yihan pondered for a moment.

This time, he didn’t look at his daughter’s expression.

Instead, he looked around at the other officials.

Bai Yi took the initiative to puff out his chest and wait for Gu Yihan’s instructions.

“Marquis Yongye.” Unexpectedly, the moment Gu Yihan spoke, he called out Ye Siming’s name!

Bai Yi was stunned and turned to look at the youth beside him.

Ye Siming was calm and walked out of the ranks of military officials with a calm expression.

Gu Yihan said, “You’re skilled in martial arts and are smart and decisive. I’ll send you to assist the city patrol to find this group of people with sneaky whereabouts.

“Marquis Yongye, you must ensure the safety of the capital. You mustn’t slack off in the slightest.”

Ye Siming nodded. “Alright.”

Bai Yi couldn’t help but step forward. He cupped his hands and asked firmly, “Your Majesty, this subject also requests to follow Marquis Yongye to investigate this matter thoroughly!”

Gu Yihan waved his hand. “Ye Siming alone is enough. Why are you joining in the fun?

“Moreover, he’s fast. He might be back in seven to eight days. Bai Yi, don’t act like an old father who can’t live without his son.

“Marquis Yongye’s ability is obvious to both you and me. What’s there to worry about?”

Bai Yi was stunned. “This subject…”

He wasn’t worried!

It had been a long time since he last fought. He wanted to hold a saber and sword!

Gu Yihan interrupted him. “Alright, this matter is decided. Marquis Yongye, set off as soon as possible. The safety of the capital can’t be neglected.”

Ye Siming couldn’t help but look at the child in Gu Yihan’s arms.

Gu Nuo’er was still sleeping soundly, not knowing that he was about to leave for a while.

It seemed that there was no time to say goodbye.

Ye Siming looked up with a cold gaze and said firmly, “Only four days.”

“What?” Gu Yihan didn’t understand.

“I’m saying that it won’t take seven to eight days. In four days, I’ll be able to capture all these people and bring them to the Jinluan Hall.”

As soon as he said this, the court officials fell silent.

To catch everyone in four days…

Only Marquis Yongye was the only person in the world who would dare to say such things!

After all, he hadn’t even taken a look, let alone started the investigation!

He didn’t even know how many people the other party had, but he set a deadline for himself.

What a ruthless person.

Gu Yihan trusted Ye Siming’s ability very much and nodded. “Alright, I’ll wait for your good news.”
