No matter how unwilling or reluctant she was, Gu Yanxi could not continue to indulge in love affairs. Fortunately, they lived not far away, so they would not have to be separated from each other in the future.
"Chief, Qu Qi sent someone to bring back a message." Seeing his master coming out, Xue Liang reported quickly, "The North Camp rebelled and was intercepted by the Central Camp at the North Gate. He has already contacted the head of the Eighth Division."
Gu Yanxi sneered, "By tripping up the Central Camp, their purpose has been achieved. It may not be that the entire North Camp has rebelled. The soldiers may have been deceived by someone. Send an order to Qu Qi to take over the North Camp with the tiger talisman. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"Yes." Xue Liang, who had been holding a lot of anger in his heart for a long time, finally felt relieved at this moment. That was why he liked to follow the leader so that he wouldn't have to endure the humiliation.
"Order the Eighth Division to catch all the rats hiding in the dark. Now is the best opportunity."
"yes."
Gu Yanxi looked at the prince who occasionally glanced in, "Azhi has fallen asleep, Your Highness, let's do business first."
The prince nodded, "Those people were captured, and none of them escaped."
"How's Grandma?"
"It looks calm."
But everyone knew that she could not be calm. When it comes to trust, the empress dowager probably trusts Yuxiang more than she trusts their descendants. But Yuxiang's stab was too fierce, and it made people feel cold to the heart.
Gu Yanxi thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, please go and invite them to Ah Zhi's room in person and tell her that we can't take care of them and ask her to help look after them."
The prince's eyes lit up, "Yes, when I have something to do, I won't have time to think too much."
Watching the prince walk away quickly, Gu Yanxi's uncertainty finally dissipated a little. He still had family affection in his heart and a soft heart. There should be something to look forward to in the future. If he became like the emperor's uncle in the future, Azhi would definitely be sad.
Putting aside these premature worries, Gu Yanxi answered the questions that came to him one by one. Then he went to the front of Fushou Palace and looked at the group of Chaoli people who were tied up by Qisusi with a special method.
Even now, they still protect the wise men among them. In some ways, the unity of the Chaoli people is terrifying.
"One is bright and the other is dark, the wise man is good at scheming."
The old wise man sat on the ground, his expression was not filled with grief or resentment, but rather a kind of indifference as if he had seen through everything. "I am not as good as Master Hua, who clearly did not reveal any flaws but still let her see through them. I originally thought that my final opponent would be Hua Yizheng, but I did not expect that I would be defeated by his granddaughter in the end. It is fate and time. I can only say that Daqing's luck is not broken."
Gu Yanxi put his hands behind his back and looked up at the dark sky. "I am a little curious. I don't know how many years have passed since I first set up this plan."
"Forty-five years."
"How old is the wise man?"
"Sixty-one."
"You are already old." Gu Yanxi looked at him. "It has always been rumored that when a wise man appears in the tribe, the tribe will prosper. The elder was so far-sighted when he was only sixteen years old. He is indeed worthy of the title of wise man. It is not unfair that Daqing suffered such a disaster."
"It's a pity that God doesn't help me."
When footsteps were heard, Gu Yanxi turned around and looked, his expression did not change at all.
Gu Yanze bowed politely, and the sharp edges that were originally visible seemed to have been smoothed away overnight. Gu Yanxi could naturally feel it. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Yes, I have something to ask you... Grandfather."
Gu Yanxi did not comment on the word "brother" and motioned him to come over.
Gu Yanze looked at the old man who was surrounded. Before he knew that he was a wise man, he only knew that his name was Xiao Chengcai, that his family ran a martial arts school, and that he knew some martial arts. Compared with the Prince Ling's Mansion, he was a real poor relative, but this poor relative had never come to ask for money, and occasionally would ask people to bring him some things. He did not dislike this relative, even if they were incompetent and could not help him like the Duke of Anguo's Mansion helped the prince, he never disliked them.
If he had known it would end up like this, he would have hated her from the beginning. He wouldn't be sad, wouldn't... wouldn't be so breathless.
He covered his mouth and coughed a few times to calm down the breath in his heart. He asked the old man who called him grandfather many times, "I was the one who was sacrificed from the beginning, right?"
The wise man sighed in appreciation, "You are a smart child. If you can be strong, we may be able to take a different path."
"So even if you succeed in conquering the Li Clan this time, I, who have half of the Gu family's blood, won't be able to survive, right?"
"The surname of Daqing is Gu. The Gu family is here and the royal family is here. The royal family is here in Daqing, so it cannot be tolerated."
"It is just as Master Ruhua said." Gu Yanze laughed bitterly, "My role in your affairs is really not small. I have hindered my father and consolidated my mother's position. You can also use my name to pass messages and finally deceive your daughter. My mother, who believes in you as if she believes in God, brought me into the game and used me thoroughly. She still believes that you will protect me and your only bloodline, but she didn't expect that Master Wise would be so selfless."
"We just have different standpoints." The wise man looked indifferent, as if he was not moved at all. "It is difficult to survive on the island. Women are weak and most of them don't live long. It is difficult to give birth to an offspring. Sometimes, even mother and child cannot survive. Compared with two hundred years ago, the Chaoli tribe has not been able to recuperate but has seen a sharp decline in population. If this continues, the only outcome is extinction. How can we just sit there and wait for death?"
"So you even gave up your own daughter." Gu Yanze turned around and looked in one direction. There, two sturdy maids were holding Xiao and standing there. She had a cloth stuffed in her mouth and her eyes were wide open, looking at her father with disbelief.
The wise man turned his head away as if that was just an insignificant person.
Looking at his mother who was struggling to rush over, Gu Yanze felt extremely happy. No one took him seriously and treated him like a fool, so no one could expect anything good!
Gu Yanxi, who was watching the show leisurely, waved his hand. Someone came forward to take Gu Yanze away. Looking at the wise man who didn't even glance over there, he curled his lips and said, "The population of the Chaoli tribe has dropped sharply, and you have sent many people to Yinshan Pass in the north, Xinyu Pass in the south, and the capital. You may even have people going to Yueshan Pass in the west. How many people are left on the island?"
The wise man immediately looked over, his pupils constricted. The man who had been calm just now was now completely tense, "What do you mean, my lord?"
"My mother was poisoned by Xiao, no, it should be said that it was you who did it." Gu Yanxi smiled coldly, "Before returning to Beijing, I took people to destroy your lair. I don't know if there are still survivors on the island now."
"Gu Yanxi!" The wise man stood up suddenly, and the others also struggled to stand up and stared at Gu Yanxi. They must have heard it wrong just now. How could it be, how could it be...
"You can invade my territory and kill my people, but I can't kill your people? Are all the rules of the world set by your Chaoli tribe?"
