Bai Yanxiao looked for an exit, and walked into a courtyard by mistake, but saw a familiar figure.

Gu Beiyu stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, the moonlight stretched the handsome figure, a dark blue robe with a bit of lonely and cold taste, and a drooping shadow fell between his eyebrows, not knowing what to think.

Bai Yanxiao's heart was sour, and he was about to call him, when he heard a call from behind Gu Beiyu: "Ayu." ”

Gu Beiyu turned around to look at Gu Yannian, but did not speak.

"Ah Yu, are you blaming the old man for not letting you save the white girl?" Gu Yannian asked.

Bai Yan smiled and was startled, at that time, he didn't realize who had rescued him.

"Don't dare." Gu Beiyu said calmly, his tone was so cold that he couldn't hear any emotion.

"She is the woman Fu An fancies, do you think you are qualified to dare." Gu Yannian narrowed his eyes and said dangerously.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Gu Beiyu Road.

Bai Yanxiao hid in the corner gloomily, it turned out to be Fu An.

"Don't know?" Gu Yannian raised his eyebrows, "You dare to say that you don't have the slightest thought about that white girl?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Yanxiao looked at Gu Beiyu with bated breath.

Gu Beiyu didn't speak, his eyes seemed to be as cold as mist, and some shadows hung down.

"If not, then why did you refuse Princess Ling today?" Obviously, Gu Yannian knew everything.

"She's still young." Gu Beiyu Road.

"Hehe" Gu Yannian smiled disdainfully, "But if you get her, it is equivalent to having half of Fu Guo's troops, isn't this comparable to Gu's grand cause?" You are the son-in-law of the General's Mansion, if you can get a great cause, the world is all yours, Ayu, when will you be so indecisive? Or did this white girl really influence your plans? Well? Ah Yu? Gu Yannian's tone gradually became dangerous.

Gu Beiyu was stunned, noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly denied it: "No." ”

Bai Yanxiao staggered back, startled on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning, and sure enough, sure enough, Gu Beiyu knew about the Gu family's conspiracy and was also involved.

"Is it that Ah Yu is older, so he won't listen to my uncle, and now he won't even tell me the truth?" Gu Yannian pressed forward step by step.

"Then I don't know what I say, will Ah Yu listen to it......" A voice that seemed to be older but full of confidence appeared, shocking everyone present.

Gu Beiyu froze, slowly raised his head, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he called out for a while: "Great-grandfather." ”

An old man with a cane staggered slowly with the support of his personal guard, as if he was about to fall down in the next moment, and the crutches he carried with him fell to the ground, making a slow and orderly sound.

"Why are you here?" Gu Beiyu hurriedly stepped forward to help.

The old man who was called his great-grandfather waved his hand and didn't let Gu Beiyu support him, sighed and said: "There are not many Gu family disciples, if I don't come again, will you wait for your uncle and nephew to fall out of this West Courtyard, and the East Courtyard will not be cheaper?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Beiyu was silent and stopped talking, and Gu Yannian turned away slightly, and his face was a little unbearable.

Gu Beiyu called his great-grandfather is the founding father Gu Xun, who is nearly 100 years old, assisted the emperors of the three dynasties, and laid down the country for Xin, it can be said that without him, there would be no today's Gu family. After the death of the first emperor, Gu Xun lived in a simple place to live for a long time, and Gu's family affairs were handed over to Gu Yannian and several other Gu old people, that is, Gu Beiyu's uncles. Few people in the entire family can see the figure of this founding father, but as we all know, no news can escape his control, and every Gu family disciple is both respectful and afraid of Gu Xunnian. So when Gu Xun appeared, no one couldn't help but be shocked.

Gu Xun straightened up slightly: "I'm really old, I can't live, but if I live one more day, I won't see a gap in the Gu family's disciples." Ah Yu's parents went early, and the entire East Courtyard relied on him to support him alone, prolonging his life, don't embarrass him too much. ”

Gu Yannian lowered his head and bowed his head respectfully: "It's me who is anxious." ”

"Ayu," Gu Xun said slowly, "What is the Gu family's motto?" ”

Gu Beiyu looked at it: "Kuang Fu Xinguo Foundation and protect my Gu family's century-old glory." ”

"Then what you did today does make my Gu family a little glorious?" Gu Xun asked.

Gu Beiyu raised his head and looked directly into Gu Xun's eyes: "A gentleman has something to do and something not to do, if he uses a woman to get military power, it is not a gentleman's doing." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yannian frowned and interjected: "The hegemony of the king is originally built on the bones, if we are all as indecisive as you, how do you think the Gu family is standing here in the whirlpool of officialdom?!" ”

"Longevity!" Gu Xun stopped, there was undoubted power in his calm voice, and Gu Yannian snorted coldly with some hatred.

"Ayu, a lot of things, when you get to my position, you will understand, if you want to preserve something, you have to sacrifice something, this choice and sacrifice is for the overall situation. You were born to be the son-in-law of the Eastern Courtyard, the future ruler of the Gu family, and if you make a mistake, you will give others a chance, and even cause an uproar in the court. The Gu family gives you a piece of heaven and earth, and you should repay it with full glory. You don't argue, Ah Yuan, as the heir of the Western Courtyard, the power will only fall on him, even if he is not the biological son of the house, but he also bears the surname given by the emperor himself, this child is also the one I saw with my own eyes, and he is very ambitious, do you want to watch the power of the Gu family come to sunset on a person who is not my relative? Since you were born in the Gu family, you should know the rules of the Gu family, and you can't have feelings that you shouldn't have, otherwise you know what the price is......" Gu Xun paused, "Ah Yu, now, you come and answer me seriously, have you ever thought about that white girl?" I'll answer after thinking about it. Gu Xun gasped and finished this paragraph, as if he had exhausted the strength of his life.

Gu Beiyu froze, Gu Xunyan had come to this point, if he dared to have the slightest thought, then Bai Yanxiao's life would not be saved. Thinking of Jiang Rin's words that day, a trace of sorrow emerged, his fingers clenched into fists, and he closed his eyes fiercely, as if he had suppressed the turbulent waves in his chest, and a feeling that had not yet taken shape was annihilated in his heart with his own hands. Gu Beiyu took a hard breath, and after a long time, he opened his eyes, and his gray-blue eyes were already cold: "Never." ”

Bai Yanxiao took a step back, and suddenly felt a little sad. No wonder he refused to admit himself, because he was afraid that his past with himself would affect his path.

"And what if one day, this woman affects your path?" Gu Xun said.

"Then I'll do it myself." Gu Beiyu raised his head and looked at Gu Xun, his cold eyes without any emotion.

Bai Yanxiao's legs went weak, and he fell to the ground, and the small stick on his leg poked into the ground and made a sound, alarming several people, and the guard next to Gu Xun immediately poked out: "Who is it?" ”

Bai Yanxiao struggled to get up but couldn't get up, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, and the guard who came from nowhere pulled Bai Yanxiao and hid behind the tree, and at the same time, a guard in the other direction released a wild cat, the wild cat "meowed" and jumped in front of Gu Xun's guard, Gu Xun's guard breathed a sigh of relief and walked back: "It's a wild cat." ”

Gu Xun put away his expression and looked at Gu Beiyu with a satisfied smile.

Bai Yanxiao looked at Gu Beiyu stubbornly, as if he had never known him, his eyes were full of hatred and coldness. What Bai Yanxiao didn't see was that Gu Beiyu's curled fingers were clenched, and the green tendons on his wrists were bulging, because his nails had sunk into the flesh because he had worked too hard.

The movement alarmed the patrolling guards, and more and more footsteps approached Bai Yanxiao.

"White girl, I'll send you out!" Bai Yanxiao was picked up by the guards behind him.

Bai Yanxiao was a little dazed: "Who are you?" ”

"Someone who can save you." The guard was unquestioning, and nodded to the other guard who was letting the cat go. The guard who let the cat run out of the outer courtyard, and after a short time he heard the patrol guard of the outer courtyard shouting, "What a person! The patrolling guards chased after each other, and the voices faded away.

"Let's go." After hesitating, Bai Yanxiao quietly left with the guards behind him.

Gu Xun glanced at the moonlight, smiled bitterly, and said lightly: "What a gentleman does or does is what he can bend and stretch, not those principles that you stick to. Ayu, you have a long way to go in the future. What I can tell you, I can only go here, no matter what you think, remember what you promised me......" As he spoke, Gu Xun slowly fell.

"Great-grandfather!" Gu Beiyu looked up in amazement, and Gu Yannian was also shocked.

"Remember...... What I said...... Gu Xun put his hand down in mid-air, as if he was asleep, and he was silent.

It all came so suddenly.

"Grandfather!" Gu Yannian roared and knelt down tremblingly.

Gu Xun was gambling, exchanging the good words of his dying days for an oath that Gu Beiyu couldn't refuse, and putting the burden on him. Gu Beiyu was clear, his face was solemn, and his fingers were curled and lowered, and curled again...... After a long time, Gu Beiyu slowly knelt down and swore to the moon: "Ayu will live up to the trust of his great-grandfather and protect me from the glory of the Gu family!" ”

The oath resounded in the courtyard. Obviously, Gu Xun won the bet.

Bai Yanxiao was supported by the guards all the way to the back door.

"Don't let them run, chase!" The guards behind him followed from a distance.

The guard glanced back, grabbed Bai Yanxiao and squatted in the grass, covering Bai Yanxiao's mouth with one hand. The patrol searched the edge of the grass.

Bai Yanxiao held his breath, and he didn't dare to come out. The guards were about to discover their location.

"Come on! Something happened! A shout came from not far away, which alarmed the small local official's mansion and added a little uneasiness to the already oppressive atmosphere.

"Leader, it seems to be General Gu's courtyard."

"Let's go!" The leader of the guards waved his hand, and a group of guards quickly left.

Bai Yanxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"White girl, let's go!" The guard helped Bai Yan out the back door with a smile.

"Xiaobai?" As soon as he came out of the back door, he saw Fu Xun walking out of a corner, and hurriedly took Bai Yanxiao, "What's the matter?" How are you? ”

Bai Yanxiao glanced back: "Fu Xun, let's go quickly." ”

The guard beside him hesitated, glanced at Fu Xun faintly and said to Bai Yanxiao: "Since this is the case, then the subordinates will send the girl here, and if I leave, I will be suspicious." ”

Bai Yan smiled and looked at the guard: "Thank you, but you still refuse to tell me who you are?" ”

The guard hesitated: "The subordinates are also acting on orders, and when it is time to know, the white girl will naturally know." Be careful all the way. With that, the guards left in a hurry.

Bai Yan looked at Fu Xun with a smile: "This time, I'm afraid I'm going to affect you again." ”

Fu Xun led the horse: "What do you say, I'm here for you." At that time, I saw that the other officials had retreated, but I didn't see you and Gu Beiyu coming out, and the gate was locked, so I knew what was going to happen. It's just that I can't get in, so I'm just waiting in the corner, and I know that if something happens, you'll get out the back door. ”

Hearing this, Bai Yan paused with a smile, it turned out that Gu Xun had already come prepared.

Fu Xun helped Bai Yanxiao onto the horse and galloped all the way.

"How did you get hurt like this, what happened in the house?"

"It's a long story, Gu Yannian wants to give me to the prince of your country, I have to go."

Hearing this, Fu Xun froze for a while, and only after a while did he speak: "Xiaobai, where are we going?" ”

Bai Yanxiao looked into the distance, with a blank look in his eyes, where to go, where is not where to be.

"Let's go find my sister."

"By the way, I was about to tell you this, I went today, and according to the address you gave, I didn't find where Miss Mu was."

"How is that possible!" Bai Yanxiao looked back at Fu Xun in surprise, and rolled his eyes as he spoke, "No, my sister won't give me the wrong address, I have to go in person." ”

"Okay, let's go there!" As he spoke, Fu Xun drove his horse.

"Wait a minute." Bai Yanxiao hesitated for a moment, and pursed his lips, "You accompany me to a place first." ”

"Where?"

"Gu Beiyu's barracks."
