Gongxi Qiu's sworn brother's lover was originally a girl from the royal family.
Before she got married, she had a good reputation.
After she reached the age of 15, she married a young man from a noble family. The couple lived in harmony and happiness for a while. But this life did not last long. Because she did not get pregnant for two years, her husband gradually got tired of her and abandoned her in the backyard.
Her husband was a playboy, and she was not to be outdone.
Afterwards, her husband died in a coup, and she had to become a nun in Chengkang Temple according to the laws of Geng State, and her life was no longer as free and easy as before. She was about to give up and spend the rest of her life in seclusion, but she didn't expect the Pig King to do something stupid.
The silent heart becomes lively again.
The women who lived in Chengkang Temple for a long time, to put it nicely, were praying for the country, but to put it bluntly, they were a group of poor widows whose freedom was restricted and whose lives were hard. She had been living a life of luxury since she was a child, so how could she afford these? So she had other thoughts.
The fact that the Pig King led his men to commit adultery in Chengkang Temple could not be hidden, and would sooner or later be revealed to the outside world.
If the Prince of Zhui still wanted to redeem his reputation, he had only two options. Either he burned down Chengkang Temple, which would be a "confession without being asked" and a bad idea, or he could find a reason to show mercy and allow the widows in Chengkang Temple to choose good husbands to remarry.
She wanted to get out of this hellhole by remarrying.
For a person who remarries, her status and position cannot be too low.
They then set their sights on Tang and Guo’s son.
In fact, from the perspective of appearance and ability, she preferred Tang Guo's adopted son, but unfortunately the adopted son was a barbarian from a foreign race, and was the knife that fought for Tang Guo's family. So, with her intentional show of goodwill, Tang Guo's biological son naturally took the bait.
But today—
She looked at the two brothers who were walking towards her arm in arm, her expression froze for a moment, but she still stepped forward and clasped her hands together in a salute.
"No need to be polite. I haven't seen you for a long time."
The brother took her hand skillfully.
Turning his head, he said, "This is my sworn brother Gong Xichou."
Before the woman could speak, she was dragged into the wing room. The furnishings inside the wing room were exquisite and luxurious, completely at the level of a noble lady, and had nothing to do with the Buddhists who believed in the emptiness of the four elements. Gong Xichou also followed her into the room.
The strong scent of powder in the air made him frown. The Buddhist shrine in the side room was also covered, and there was not a single speck of sandalwood in the incense burner. Gong Xichou complained in his heart, turned around and closed the door, picked a place with a good view, sat cross-legged, and watched with interest as his impatient brother tried to pull the silk belt. The latter looked embarrassed and pushed with both hands and refused to cooperate.
The brother-in-law was angry: "What are you doing?"
The woman glanced in Gong Xichou's direction in embarrassment.
The latter even leisurely poured himself a cup of tea.
The brother understood: "He will be here later."
The woman's expression turned pale: "..."
It's not that she couldn't accept it. In terms of quality, Gong Xichou was much better than the male concubines she had played with before, but at that time she was the one in a higher position playing with the one in a lower position, and she took the initiative. Even if she had an affair with Gong Xichou's brother, she also had the intention of taming this wild boar, and the initiative was still in her hands. But today's words were nakedly making her a plaything of the two brothers!
The woman changed her attitude and took advantage of the other party's unpreparedness to break free, which completely annoyed the other party.
He was so angry that he pushed the woman onto the bed, making a dull thud. "Don't you know what your reputation was like before? Why are you trying to be so noble with me at this time? I think I am respecting you by letting you serve me!"
"roll!"
The woman's reply was just one word.
The two of them pushed and struggled.
The brother laughed instead of getting angry, and leaned over to tear off her clothes in the face of the woman's horrified gaze. Although he had neglected training and his muscles had become one, he was still a man in his prime, and his strength should not be underestimated.
There was a sound of cloth tearing, revealing an exquisite, close-fitting peach-colored mandarin duck bellyband and a large area of snow-white neck.
It was accompanied by sharp screams of fear.
but-
But it was not because of the torn clothes.
The woman was still in shock as she looked at Gong Xichou who had appeared behind her brother. He stretched out his hand with lightning speed and easily twisted the neck of the man who was pressing on her. The sound of the bone cracking was easily covered by her scream.
woman:"… "
She stared blankly at Gong Xichou who was standing in front of her bed.
Fear rushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
He suppressed the cry in his throat.
Gong Xichou looked indifferent: "Madam, do you know what to do to save your life? Get up and run out to call for help, or-"
His unfinished words were like a death warrant from the King of Hell to the woman's ears. Although she didn't know why Gong Xichou suddenly killed her brother, she was sure that it was definitely not because of her, and it was not a righteous act. Her life was dispensable.
Gong Xichou: "I think Madam must be a smart person."
The woman's lips and teeth trembled: "Naturally."
When Gong Xichou heard the answer, the gloom on his face disappeared and he smiled again, saying, "In that case, I will not disturb you and your wife's night of love. I will go out for a walk."
Before Gong Xichou stepped out of the room, he saw that the woman had quickly calmed down and sat on the bed, making a suppressed but suggestive groan, which became louder and louder. His brother-in-law was facing the door at a strange angle.
He exited considerately, closed the door, and sighed inwardly.
"I told you to listen to your father. If you had practiced hard, you wouldn't have died in such a miserable way."
He and his sworn brother didn't actually have any deep hatred, and the occasional disagreements were never to the point of taking someone's life. However, the Gongxi clan had no hatred or grudge against anyone, but they were still exterminated, and all 264 people in the clan did not have a good end. It shouldn't be too much for Tang Guo to lose a son, right
Gong Xichou murmured with a smile: "Well, not too much."
When he walked to the corridor, he met another guard of the Pig King who was looking for fun. He greeted the other person with a normal expression.
When asked why he was there, Gong Xichou replied, "My brother just said he would take me out to play, so I followed him. But he went to discuss sutras and doctrines with the nuns in the temple. I found it boring, so I came back."
King Zhu's personal guard: "..."
Although it's outrageous, it doesn't feel wrong.
Gong Xichou was like this all along. Even his sworn brother often mocked him privately for being incompetent and having some mental problems.
He has a lot of talent, but it's all good-looking but useless.
I asked and didn't take it to heart.
Upon hearing Gong Xichou volunteer to take over the protection of the Zhui King and his two uncles, he gave him pointers - the barbarian was willing to sacrifice the opportunity to have fun and take over the duty, which was exactly what he wanted.
As long as he is here, King Zhu and others are safe.
Gong Xichou clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much."
The guards brought by the Pig King are quite powerful, and not all of them neglect their duties or are distracted by beauty.
The overall strength should not be underestimated.
Most importantly, the royal family arranged two thousand elite soldiers outside the temple to protect the women of Chengkang Temple so that they could worship Buddha and pray for the country. There were also soldiers disguised as common people at the foot of the mountain, and the commander was Gong Xichou's adoptive father Tang Guo.
As for why Tang Guo, who was once known as the pillar of Geng State, was now doing the job of guarding the gate for the Pig King, only he himself knew the answer. Other warriors pursued strength, while Tang Guo pursued power, status, money and wealth.
He will work for whoever can satisfy his gluttonous appetite.
Why did Gong Xichou choose to take action today
Because the culprit who was responsible for planning the extermination of the Gongxi clan was all here - King Zhui had just entered the court at that time, and he didn't know where he got the news from, but he found out that the Gongxi clan was related to the Wu State's Gu disaster. He was eager to make achievements, but didn't want to be divided up by other brothers, so he united the royal power of his own faction and took the lead in launching this disaster.
Gong Xichou knew that the person behind the scenes was a member of the Geng Kingdom royal family.
But it was never clear who it was.
The relevant archival files have long been processed.
Gong Xichou survived a great disaster and escaped death. His memory was confused for a while. When he regained consciousness and remembered the cause and effect of the extermination of his clan, he had already become Tang Guo's adopted son. The other party trusted him very much, even indulged him.
It’s not that he hasn’t thought about revenge.
But the gap in strength is there.
An attack that cannot cause damage to the enemy is a meaningless act. Since you have already recognized the enemy as your father, why not lie dormant
Gong Xichou used cynicism as a protective color and played the role of an ignorant and ridiculed barbarian to the fullest.
He wants to know too.
Where is Tang Guo's bottom line towards him!
Why did they openly adopt the descendants of the Gongxi tribe
Today, there may be an answer.
"I'm here to take over, you guys go out and have some fun?"
The Prince's personal guard refused: "No."
Gong Xichou sighed when he saw this: "Why bother?"
"What?"
"Why stay and seek death!"
The moment the words came out, the red tassel on the tip of the snake spear had pierced through a man's chest, and the sonic boom blew away several people nearby.
For the first time in his life, Gong Xichou stopped suppressing his strength and allowed his martial energy to burst out crazily from his Danfu, filling his entire body. His entire set of martial armor took shape in an instant.
The gust of wind destroyed the palace with overwhelming force.
At the same time, the sound of weapons was heard outside the temple.
