Chapter 1030: A Talent That Can Be Created

Ten years ago, Gu Weiguo was seriously injured on a mission to northern Xinjiang, and he knew that he couldn't return to the capital, so he asked the Flying Fox Dart Bureau to send the royal military talisman that had been hidden on his body back to the capital and handed it to Lu Laoguogong.

However, I didn't expect that the flying fox dart game, which had never made a mistake, even if the chief dart head Liu Yifei was dispatched, he was not able to keep the dart.

This matter is very secretive, before this dart was not robbed, there were only four people who knew about it, one was Gu Weiguo himself, one was Lu Guogong, one was Lu Qishan, and the last one was Liu Yifei.

And Lu Laoguo was in the capital, and on the first day, he received Gu Weiguo's flying pigeon message, and the next day he sent someone to answer it, and on the third day, he received the news that the imperial military talisman had been robbed.

Lu Qishan immediately sent the secret guards around her to investigate, but at this time, Gu Weiguo had been seriously injured and died, and the concubine she gave to Lu Weiguo was also killed by Lu Weiguo before he died. And Liu Yifei left a sentence for the dart board because he lost the dart, saying that he would not come back if he couldn't find it, and he suddenly disappeared.

After Zhou Changan learned of this, he also sent his cronies to investigate in the rivers and lakes, but Liu Yifei seemed to have disappeared, and no matter how many people on the rivers and lakes looked for him, there was no news. It wasn't until someone recognized him in Baifengzhai three years later that everyone finally knew Liu Yifei's whereabouts.

It's a pity that the terrain of Baifengzhai is dangerous, and even the government can't do anything about them. Zhou Changan had no choice but to secretly issue an order to the Eastern Qi army, so that the generals of the Eastern Qi army of the past dynasties would pay close attention to the movements of Baifengzhai. Lu Qishan has also been secretly sending people to keep an eye on Baifeng Village, but he doesn't dare to act rashly.

Because Zhou Changan and Lu Qishan were at a stalemate, Baifengzhai was stable for so long. However, this time, with the intervention of the two brothers Zhou Tianqi and Zhou Tiankai, with the help of the Seven Princes being held hostage by Baifeng Village, it became imperative for the Eastern Qi army to besiege Baifeng Village.

And Qiu Ming's arrival changed all that. He pushed the battle for the imperial army talisman to the front, quelled the war, and promised to help Zhou Changan find the talisman of the imperial army.

However, after a long time of side knocking, and later confronted Liu Yifei directly, the result was that the talisman of the imperial army was really lost, and it was indeed not in Liu Yifei's hands. However, after so many years of investigation, Liu Yifei also got some clues that could no longer be verified.

Liu Yifei believes that the loss of the imperial military talisman may be Gu Weiguo's ghost. Because except for Gu Weiguo, no one knew where the talisman of the imperial army was hidden, and it was impossible for anyone to steal the talisman without alerting the dart master in the dart game at all.

However, all this can no longer be proven, because, after the loss of the imperial military talisman, when Liu Yifei found Gu Weiguo, he was already dead. Moreover, later Liu Yifei went to Gu Weiguo's hometown in Jiangnan, and his wife and father, as well as dozens of Gu family members, were burned to death in a fire.

Although after the fire was extinguished, the body of Gu Weiguo's son was not found in the Gu family's mansion, but this teenage child seemed to have disappeared in the world, and Ren Liu Yifei searched all over Jiangnan and did not find his whereabouts.

Originally, the clue has been broken since then. However, because of Liu Yifei's words, Qiu Ming thought of another person, and that person was Gu Wenan.

About ten years ago, Gu Wenan came to Jiangnan Academy and begged Mr. Qiu to take him in, and Mr. Qiu saw that Gu Wenan was a talented person, so he took him in, and treated him like his own son, let him and his son study together, eat and live together.

Five years ago, before Qiu Ming and Gu Wen'an went to Beijing to take the exam, the two of them went to the temple together to pray for blessings, and Qiu Ming accidentally saw Gu Wen'an write the word "Patriotic Country" on the Buddha's sesame oil book. Qiu Ming didn't care at the time, thinking that Gu Wen'an just didn't want to leave his real name on the Buddha's sesame oil book, so he wrote a name casually.

However, now that I think about it, something is wrong. If Gu Wenan didn't want to write his real name, why didn't he use the word "expectation" given to him by Mr. Qiu? What does "defending the country" mean?

However, if Gu Wenan was the only surviving son of the Gu family back then, and the son of Gu Weiguo, then everything would make sense. Why did he look like a rich man and extremely educated, but he became an orphan? Why did he have so much hatred for the government and the royal family a long time ago, before he was imprisoned? Why did he write the words "defend the country" in the Buddha's book of sesame oil?

So, Qiu Ming started from Gu Wen'an's life experience again and confirmed his guess.

Ten years ago, when the Gu family suffered a tragedy, the old lady of the Gu family hid Gu Wen'an in the cellar. There was already plenty of food and water in the cellar, and the old lady of the Gu family told Gu Wen'an that if no one opened the door of the cellar and let him out, let him live in the cellar for a month, and then come out quietly when everything was over.

Gu Wenan was obediently in the cellar, and only after eating all the food in the cellar did he come out of the cellar. He knew that if no one let him out, it meant that there was no one in the Gu family. Sure enough, when he came out of the cellar, the Gu family's old mansion had become a ruin.

This tragic case, which claimed dozens of lives, was closed by the government as an accidental fire. Gu Wenan has been smart and pragmatic since he was a child, and of course he understands that there must be something strange in this. He didn't say anything, held back his grief, and quietly left his hometown and went to Jiangnan Academy, which he had always longed for.

Gu Wen'an only told Qiu Ming about his life tragedy, but did not say that his father was Gu Weiguo, the former commander of the imperial army.

Qiu Ming did not point out this fact on the spot, nor did he inquire about the whereabouts of the imperial military talisman, but told Gu Wenan that the imperial military talisman was very important to Zhou Changan and Lu Qishan, and it also played a vital role in the entire Great Feudal State.

Gu Wen'an is a smart person, of course he knows the meaning of Qiu Ming's words, but he didn't express his stance to Qiu Ming, and he kept silent about this matter.

Qiu Ming was not in a hurry, no longer mentioned the matter of the imperial military talisman, and continued to talk freely with Gu Wenan about national affairs and drink and play.

The lone wolf finally came to Baifeng Valley with the secret guards of Shouxi Palace, surrounded Baifeng Village, and brutally killed several brothers of Baifeng Village.

Gu Wenan, as the third master of Baifeng Village, personally went out to negotiate with the lone wolf, but almost died in the hands of the lone wolf. Fortunately, he was clever and quick, and he was able to return to the stockade safely.

However, this time when he went out, Gu Wenan had a very important gain. In the dark guard beside the lone wolf, he saw the leader of the black-clothed people who brought people to their Gu family to commit murder.
