Gu An quickly lowered his head to work, and when he saw nothing, there were many people coming and going here, and carriages were used to pull stones, and some merchants and people also rode carriages. So it was not surprising that the person who came to pass the order, and no one could say anything.

The convoy stopped a hundred meters away from the Acropolis. When the guard leader went to the front to inquire, everyone stopped and waited, waiting for people to come to welcome them into the city.

Wang Si sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw that the city wall was dilapidated and many places were bright. You could see the city from outside, and there were traces of fire burning, which was pitch black.

Wang Si only glanced and withdrew his gaze. He looked at the crowd working at the city. He saw that there were more than a thousand people moving stones under the city wall, and many people were building walls in the city wall. On the side of the city wall, there were women in their thirties and forties carrying baskets and bowls to drink water for men working, and some were wiping sweat with towels, chatting and yelling to drink two drinks after work. It was not like the scene after the war, but like building a house in a country village.

It was not long, and when the guard captain came back, he pointed to Gu An and said, "Sir, that handsome man is General Gu An."

Wang Si followed the fingers of the guard guard. A man with a handsome face and a gentle appearance appeared in front of him. At this time, he was moving a stone. A stone the size of a millstone was like a toy in his hand. He picked it up and walked to the edge of the city wall and placed it under the corner of the wall that was about to be built.

The muscles on his body are hard and solid, protruding like solid pieces of stone muscles. The developed muscles shine in the sun, making people feel a rich life force.

What a "butcher" and what a "killer god", no wonder he was able to expel the barbarians from the Great Wei, no wonder he could be valued by the emperor, and this strength cannot be underestimated. Just because he can put down his figure, ignore his identity and the people, and rebuild the three border cities with millions of soldiers, he deserves these two titles.

The reason why Gu An did this was of course for those who came to pass the imperial edict. No matter who came to pass the imperial edict, he would feel moved as long as he saw his appearance. As long as he put a word on the emperor's side, his future will be more secure.

Sure enough, Gu An was right, Wang Si really looked at Gu Angao, and asked someone to ask when Gu An started working under the city wall, but he was afraid that Gu An would show him.

Wang Si walked off the carriage and walked step by step towards Gu An. Gu An pretended to find Wang Si and his party, and hurriedly found the clothes to put on them. He also pulled Gu Zhehan up. The two of them came forward and hugged their hands and fists.

"Dare you asking?"

Wang Si smiled slightly, "My name is Wang Si. I am the official to serve as the Ministry of Rites. General Gu. The emperor has an order. You can accept the order."

When Gu An heard that the imperial edict had arrived, he immediately stopped Wang Si from promulgating the edict now, "Wait a minute, let's go back to the mansion to promulgate the edict. This place... is not suitable, and my clothes are not good either. I hope the adults will move and go to the mansion to rest for a while. When the officials set up the incense table, they will make their families ready before promulgating the edict."

Wang Si knew that the emperor valued Gu An, and he might be promoted after returning to Beijing this time. As the emperor's confidant, it would be better not to offend him.

Wang Si smiled after thinking it through, "Yes, General Gu is still thoughtful. Let's go to the city and wait until the general's mansion."

Gu An smiled and invited Wang Si back to the carriage, leading everyone to the Gu Mansion in the Acropolis.

Gu An has been ready these days. After the war, he first sent Tang and Gu Yan back to the Acropolis Mansion, and then sent Tan Yue and most of his slaves out of the border and went to the village where Tang's dowry was outside the capital. Only five elderly and weak slaves were left in the family to serve Tang and Gu Yan.

So when Wang Si led more than 100 people to Gu's mansion, he stared at the scene in disbelief.

The Gu Mansion was crowded with people, all of whom were surviving the Acropolis. Everyone was so busy that they were not touching the ground. Even when they saw Gu An, the general who led them to win the battle, they just said hello in a hurry, and then did whatever they should do, leaving no time for everyone.

"What's going on?"

Wang Si pointed at the wounded and the old man in the yard and stared at Gu An.

Gu An sighed and said without falling, "These people are all people of the Acropolis. The Acropolis was destroyed in this battle and the entire city was burned out. This yard was the first to be repaired. Because it was big and the fire did not burn here, it could still be kept. It can be installed here, and the wounded people can be cooked for the soldiers and delivered food is convenient. The road in front of the door directly leads to the city gate, so they all live here."

After saying that, Gu An led Wang Si into the yard. Without pause in the front yard, he went directly into the main room where Tang and Gu Yan temporarily lived in the back yard.

"Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry, the mansion is too messy and there are too many people. I'm afraid I'll have to feel wronged tonight. I'll let someone clean up the side courtyard where Yan'er used to live. You'll be there for one night. I'll send you to Muzhou near the border town to rest tomorrow."

Gu An said while inviting people into the main courtyard. More than 100 people could not come in. Wang Si asked them to stay outside the courtyard and only brought a few close-up guards to the main courtyard.

Gu An was about to step into the room, but suddenly he thought of something again. He pulled Wang Si to the side. He bowed and said apologetically: "Mr. Wang, I have to tell you something."

Wang Si quickly returned the gift and waved his hand, "General Gu, don't be so polite. If you have something to do, you will say."

Gu An politely bowed and said, "This battle was severely injured, and no one in ten people survived. There were too many border soldiers who died in the battlefield. The barbarian army besieged the border city, and all the hundreds of cities went up to help the soldiers fight. The inner people were moved and followed. As a result..., the inner people were seriously injured and were in danger of life. They finally survived, but now they can't get out of bed, and they may not be able to accept the order. And my daughter, she..."

Speaking of this, Gu An's eyes were filled with tears, his words were sad, and his breath was unstable. He insisted: "My daughter has followed us to the battlefield since she was ten years old, and was in the rear of the barbarians with her children... I won't say this anymore, and the emperor knows it too. However, but... But this time, in order to pursue the barbarian army, he killed the barbarian general Hurzatai. The little girl and the child both went deep into the barbarian grassland until they reached the barbarian royal city and took down the head of the barbarian king. However, on the way back, unfortunately they were ambushed by the enemy and were caught in five arrows. They were lucky enough to die. However, they were hit by one arrow on their legs. Now they can't get out of bed, and they may not be able to accept the order. Lord Wang, can the official request? Please do not have to kneel down and apologize to the emperor when the official returns to the capital?"

Gu An old tears streamed down, holding his fist and bowed deeply at Wang Si again.
