Chapter 2326: Leaving in 2 Days
Not to mention Yehu, even Guo Xiaoke and his son were puzzled. Prince Ji was much more powerful than the Prince of Wei at that time.
It is completely possible to compete for the throne.
Apart from his status as a bastard's son, Prince Ji is more powerful than the Crown Prince.
But why isn't the Crown Prince worried? This isn't something that can be achieved simply by promising not to fight for the throne.
The prince must have so much trust in Prince Ji that he is so reckless.
"Thank you, General Guo, for clearing up my doubts today. I will not delay your recuperation. When you recover, I will host a banquet for you. I hope you will not refuse."
The matter had been discussed and all the questions had been asked. Ye Hu stood up and said goodbye.
Today’s harvest was good, and the things I gave away were at least half worth.
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty. Guo is deeply grateful."
Guo Xiaoke replied with a smile.
Afterwards, Ye Hu left, and Guo Daizhao sent Ye Hu out of the house before returning to Guo Xiaoke's room.
"Aye, look."
Coming to the box, Guo Daizhao opened it and suddenly a thousand rays of light shone everywhere.
Except for a few boxes, the whole thing was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, sparkling brightly.
"Ye Hu is so generous." Guo Xiaoke couldn't help but sigh when he saw a box of jewelry.
This box of jewels is worth at least several thousand strings of cash.
"Yes, it seems that he is really interested in Prince Ji. I think Ye Hu came here specifically to find out the news about Prince Ji.
I think Prince Ji said something to Ye Hu that made Ye Hu very excited."
Guo Daizhao picked up a gem and looked at it carefully before his eyes.
"Of course, what King Ji said concerns the fate of the entire Kucha nation. If I am not mistaken,
Prince Ji must have said something more valuable than money to tempt Ye Hu.
Guo Xiaoke also thought so.
"Then father, is Yehu going to suffer a loss?" Guo Daizhao put down the gem in his hand and looked at Guo Xiaoke.
"Suffer a loss? It's not that simple. The entire Kucha Kingdom will be caught in it.
Our young prince is no simple man. How can a mere country like Kucha, a barbarian land, be compared with King Ji?
What my father said about being rich enough to rival a country was not empty talk. The wealth of Prince Ji’s Mansion is indeed more than that of these small countries.
Prince Ji's plans are too great for you to comprehend. You will only need to slowly comprehend them."
Guo Xiaoke didn't tell his son too much. The fewer people knew about such a big thing, the better. He still knew what kind of person his son was.
If his son were to let the secret slip, the Guo family would not be able to withstand the wrath of His Majesty.
"Prince Ji actually has other plans?" Guo Daizhao asked in confusion after hearing this.
"You don't need to ask this anymore, you will know it in the future, but what Prince Ji did is of great benefit to my father.
That's why as a father I just now persuaded Ye Hu to be at ease.
You should stay by your father's side these days and don't go out. Tell others that your father's condition is unstable and he needs your care.
Wait until Prince Ji leaves before you go out and leave the matter to Cao Jishu." Guo Xiaoke looked at his son with some worry.
"Father, I won't go to see Prince Ji. I can do other things. This is also an opportunity to gain experience."
Guo Daizhao was somewhat reluctant. If Prince Ji didn't leave, wouldn't he have to stay here forever?
"Asshole, I did this for your own good. If Prince Ji finds out about what you've done, the Guo family will be doomed along with you.
What do you think King Ji came here for? Your father is afraid that you will reveal your true identity in front of King Ji.
Don't worry, Prince Ji won't stay here for too long."
Guo Xiaoke scolded that compared with Prince Ji, his son was still not mature enough.
"Yes, Master, please calm down. I will follow your instructions."
Seeing that his father was angry, Guo Daizhao quickly bowed and apologized.

"Your Highness, Ye Hu just went to Guo Xiaoke's residence, saying he was there to check on Guo Xiaoke's injuries."
In the yamen, Li Shen was basking in the sun in the garden, and Zhao Tiejun was standing beside him reporting.
"Bullshit, Guo Xiaoke was injured because of his incompetence, why would he go to visit Guo Xiaoke?"
Li Shen lay on the Hu bed and cursed.
Since there was no rocking chair, Li Shen asked the guards to bring out a Hu bed.
"Your Highness, I believe Ye Hu went to Guo Xiaoke to gather information. He is interested in what Your Highness has learned."
Wang Xuance on the side guessed.
“Well, this king thinks so too. Even if he wants to win over Guo Xiaoke, Guo Xiaoke won’t dare to accept the money.
Guo Xiaoke only dared to accept it after getting some information, and this information was not a secret of the court.
Guo Xiaoke is not a fool and will not give anyone any handle.”
Li Shen nodded, he also felt that Wang Xuance was right.
"Could it be that he wants to find out about you, Your Highness?" Wang Xuance thought for a moment and asked.
"It is very likely that the only one who has a relationship with him now is me." Li Shen thought so.
"Your Majesty, Ye Hu brought a box in, but when he came out, the box was gone. Two people were carrying one box, so I guess it wasn't just some simple medicinal herbs.
It's very likely some treasure." Zhao Tiejun repeated his intelligence.
"Treasure?" Li Shen sat up instantly. "A box of treasures, what a huge expense. Is this so valuable to me?"
"Your Highness, two days have passed. What should we do next?" Wang Xuance ignored Li Shen's narcissism.
Instead, he changed the subject.
“The reinforcements haven’t arrived yet. We are waiting for two days. I will not be willing to return empty-handed.
This Ye Hu really doesn't understand the ways of the world. I hinted so clearly last time, but he didn't understand at all.
If you want to be blessed, isn't it just a matter of a word from this king?"
Li Shen became angry when he thought of this. Yehu wanted to ask Li Shen for help and find a way to avoid revenge from the Western Turks.
Li Shen said that he would go back to discuss the matter, which gave Ye Hu an opportunity to bribe him.
But this Ye Hu was so stubborn and didn't show any reaction at all. Did he really have to make himself speak so bluntly?
"Your Highness, what if the reinforcements haven't arrived yet? We can't spend the winter here."
Wang Xuance said again. He now understood that when Prince Ji complained, he should ignore him and just talk about the matter.
Otherwise he will never stop.
"If reinforcements don't arrive in two days, we'll leave. I don't want to spend the winter here. I don't even have winter clothes."
Li Shen patted his clothes.
"Then I will go and prepare." Wang Xuance stood up.
"Well, go ahead. By the way, tell Ye Hu that I'm leaving.
If you don’t send me a gift, I’ll leave. Then he won’t have the chance to send me one anymore.”
Li Shen looked unhappy.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Wang Xuance took the order and retreated.
(It’s July, and the Ghost Festival is coming soon.)
