The long and distant Liesun bell was heavily resounded by the soldiers on the drum tower. It was a large bell used to tell the time in the Heian period, and it was used to sound the alarm in times of war.

The man sat on top of the chairperson in the main hall, blew away the heat from the teacup, and took a sip slowly.

"Why did the drum tower ring at this time?" He let out a long breath, and his body was warmed by the infusion of good tea, but there was something strange in his heart.

"Gu Xun, it's late." In the inner door, an old man with a straight waist walked out, picked up the hot tea on the table, and slowly took a sip.

"Maybe it's too late...... Gu Xun looked out the open door.

"You mean...... Maybe there's something else going on? The old man was stunned for a moment and put down the teacup.

"If the key can live...... Gu Xun said in a low voice.

"Hanging."

"I know."

"Gu Xun, you won't know, you're just doing it." The old man stared at the man in front of him.

"Uncle Nie, after so many years, how am I, don't you understand?" Gu Xun also looked at the old man.

"Maybe you've changed?" Gu Nie narrowed, "Maybe it's the Gu Key, maybe it's the girl." It's just that what I didn't expect was that a girl who picked it up would make you love it so much, which shouldn't have been. ”

"Perhaps...... Perhaps, where is there so much maybe? ”

"Then it must be." Gu Nie suddenly laughed, "This kid has learned to contradict me!" Your son must have been spoiled by you! ”

"Bad! It's all taught by Uncle Nie! Gu Xun laughed along.

"Head of the house!" A sparse footstep stopped outside the door, and the maidservant was half-kneeling on the ground, her eyes dodging.

"What's wrong? Panicked! Gu Xun looked at the maid who was half-kneeling in front of the door strangely, "Stand up and talk about it!" ”

"The head of the house! Miss, she hadn't eaten anything since morning, and blasted the servants out. Now the servants are very anxious, worried that the young lady will do something stupid, so go and see it, the master of the house! The little maid's face was covered with hot sweat.

"This girl!" Gu Xun frowned and stood up, "What else did Miss do?" ”

"Miss...... She. The little maid was hesitant and didn't dare to continue.

"Are you deaf!?"

"No...... No, the servants didn't dare to say. ”

"What would you not dare? Say it! Gu Nie couldn't bear it anymore and roared.

"Head of the house...... The feather silk dress made for Miss was burned by Miss! The little maidservant bowed deeply, and did not dare to raise her head.

"Burn...... Go up in flames? Gu Xun was stunned for a long time, and finally was shocked, and ran towards the door like crazy, without any grace at all, "Don't hurry up and get out!" If something happens to you, I'll blame you! ”

"Yes...... Be! The little maid hurried to follow.

"It's messed up...... It's a mess. Gu Nie sighed deeply and slowly followed.

……

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The little maid crossed the threshold with a short body, and Gu Xun ran into the courtyard in one step, scattering the helpless servants in the courtyard.

"Ah...... It's the head of the house who is coming! A little guy shouted in a low voice.

"Be quiet! Something that is not rude! The old woman standing beside him slapped him hard and hurriedly caught up with Gu Xun, who was following closely behind.

"Master, you're finally here......

"How's the young lady doing?" Gu Xun anxiously clenched the ring in his big sleeve, and his eyes moved with the little maids who scattered the servants.

"The head of the house, Miss, she is fine for the time being, but Miss has been muttering something in her mouth. Because of the door, the old slave spent a lot of effort, but he really couldn't hear clearly, it was the incompetence of the old slave, and the beggar master was guilty. The old woman pressed the little girl beside her and bowed deeply at Gu Xun's feet with herself.

"That's it! Get up first! Gu Xun waved his hand impatiently and walked into the courtyard from the side.

The servants who stood with their heads bowed in the courtyard hid towards the corner where there was no way to retreat, and the afterglow of their eyebrows secretly glanced at Gu Xun who was standing in front of the door.

"Grandma, what the young lady is talking about, I seem to hear some ......" The little maid pounced on the dirt on her body and stood behind the old woman.

"Shut up! What do hairy children know! The old woman glared at the little girl.

"But I heard it...... Grandma, you don't let me say anything, and you beat me! The little guy flattened his mouth helplessly.

"You kid!" The old woman was stunned for a moment, and raised her dustpan-sized palm in her hand again, but finally stopped in mid-air and softened, "Alas! ”

The little girl knew that her mouth was about to make Grandma unhappy again, so she hurriedly closed her mouth and lowered her head deeply.

"Ji'er, it's for the father, open the door! Tell your father about anything on your mind! Gu Xun tentatively knocked on the door twice.

After a long silence, Gu Xun coughed dryly, and glanced back at the servants who were standing with their hands down. Then he slammed the door twice.

This Nizi...... You can't do anything stupid, right? Gu Xun asked himself in a low voice, a little afraid.

"Come here!" Gu Xun pointed to the two nearest old women and asked them to come over.

"What does the head of the house command?" The two old women bowed down and asked in unison.

"I ask you, there's nothing sharp in Miss's room, right?" Gu Xun pressed the wooden door, and his palms were full of sweat.

"The head of the house, the villain knows what you are worried about, you are worried about the safety of the young lady, right?" An old woman stood up and whispered.

"That's right."

"Before, the villains have followed the instructions of the head of the house, and the things in the lady's room have been strictly screened, and nothing that will cause any harm to the young lady will never be left." Another old woman said, "And we all listen carefully to Miss's every move, and if Miss has any accident, it will make a loud noise." But until now, nothing has happened, and perhaps the young lady is still sulking in bed. ”

"And the other thing is...... The reason why we are so relieved is because Miss has been talking about something before you come, but the villain is old and most of his ears are deaf, so he can't hear what Miss says. The two old women said together.

Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, thinking that the old woman who was in charge of affairs before also said the same, and couldn't help but be upset.

"What have you been muttering in your mouth......" Gu Xun turned around to look at the two old women, but saw the pity for the young lady in the eyes of the old women, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Maybe they thought that what Gu Qi had been talking about would definitely be married back to Lu Chi's nephew, and they were stupid with joy. But Gu Xun, who knew the reason, didn't know what Gu Xun was talking about?

"Stand down." Gu Xun waved his hand back.

"Yes, Master." The old ladies bowed their heads and stood back in their original positions.

There was a sound of muffled footsteps outside the door, followed by a salute from several servants, and the visitor also entered the courtyard.

"Uncle Nie, you're here." After Gu Xun saw the visitor, he sighed softly.

"What? She sulked, and she was born on your head? Gu Nie quipped.

"Uncle Nie, don't make fun of me!"

"Isn't this a joke?" Gu Nie seemed to be smiling, and his eyebrows moved towards the servants behind him, "Steward Liu, there's nothing for you here, go down!" ”

"Yes!" The old woman, who was known as Steward Liu, took the lead in walking towards the door, and a group of servants behind her also followed.

"Grandma, let's just leave?" The previous little guy quietly approached Steward Liu and whispered.

"And what do you want?" Steward Liu glanced at the little guy fiercely, "Contradicted the head of the family, and then was thrown out of the ancient mansion?" When the time comes, I will kneel in front of the head of the family and beg him to open the net, but it will not work! ”

"No, Grandma, you misunderstood me!" The little guy blushed and wanted to say something.

"That's good! I'll just hear you out! Right here! Steward Liu dispersed the servants behind him, stood in front of the empty square, and looked at the little servant, "Say, I want to hear what you hairy boy can say!" ”

"This ......" The little servant crossed behind Steward Liu and went to see the servants who were busy with their own affairs, and he was a little panicked.

"Don't you have something to say?!" Steward Liu slapped the little guy's ass hard with the rattan he was carrying, causing a low roar.

"Ouch!" The little guy jumped up in pain and flashed to the rear.

"You dare to hide! Come back to me, stinky boy! Steward Liu dragged his old body and chased after him as hard as he could, and the rattan in his hand swiped in the air. It's just that no matter how hard she tries, she can't catch up with the little guy.

……

"Uncle Nie, she ......" Gu Xun looked at Gu Nie, and he didn't know how to say it.

"No need to mention it, I know all those things, what if I mention it? You kid is about to be confused, can't you even handle this little thing? Only managing things in the family, and neglecting your own small family, this is obviously not like what you used to do. Gu Nie stared at the man in front of him, who was no longer young, and sneered, "To be able to get used to such a son, should you be worthy of it?" ”

"You ......"

"Key'er, you're back?!" Gu Nie ignored Gu Xun, and suddenly looked out of the door, with a look of surprise in his eyebrows.

"Key?" Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, and also looked over, but his eyebrows touched the farthest place, but he didn't see any figure.

With a "bang", the door behind the two was slammed open, and then it was the crying pear blossom with the rain that rushed out.

"Brother Key! Brother Key! The disgraced girl looked very much under her eyes, every corner. Try to find the person who haunts her, the person who makes her look forward to it day and night, the young man who taught her lips.

"Brother Key......" The girl knelt down like a loss of strength, she had no more tears to cry about, and all that was left was the infatuation and so on all the time.

Gu Nie stepped forward and grabbed Gu Qi and dragged her up, "Ji'er, it's me, it's Uncle Nie!" ”

"Nie ...... Uncle? Gu Yu opened his dry eyes, and after a short period of distraction, he hugged Gu Nie tightly and cried even louder.

Gu Xun silently watched the daughter in front of him hugging Gu Nie and crying, but there was no effective way to stop the girl's pain, and his heart was like a thousand arrows.

"Boy, what to do, you should understand in your heart." Gu Nie's eyes sharpened.

He used to be a lover, and he couldn't see a girl crying in front of him, and now it's even more so. Gu Xun knows Gu Nie's personality very well.

"Of course I do...... Uncle Nie. Gu Xun's voice was a little hoarse, and there was a rare loneliness, "Of course I understand, but what can I do?" Rebel against Lu Chi? Rebel against the king of the city of Luxun? ”

Gu Nie gently smoothed Gu Qi's hair, and the old eyes seemed to be more profound. Of course, he knew how much pressure Gu Xun was under now. But that shouldn't be borne by a child, even if she picked it up.

"We need a moment where we can wait. And that's the time! Gu Nie slapped himself hard and forced himself to calm down, "Wolf Gu can't wait to make a move, we can only save one person now!" Pray that the Ancient Key won't die, or use all your men and strike before the soldiers roaming outside the city smell danger! Take Liesun City and keep Qi'er! ”

"Boy! You've been the head of the house for almost twenty years! Calm down! Gu Nie's empty hand pinched Gu Xun's shoulder, his strength gradually increased, and the hideousness in his eyes could no longer be controlled.
