The Fu brothers and sisters were not at ease on the way to the royal family of Xinguo, and there were not a few people who were waiting for an opportunity to destroy the friendship between the two along the way. From the moment he stepped into the country of Xin, he ambushed killers from time to time. Fu Guo and Xin Guo are not fools, if something happens to the Fu brothers and sisters in Xin State, then the friendship between the two countries will not be enough, a big war is inevitable, and Xiao Guo is the first to benefit from this fisherman.

The sound of ruts turning echoed through the woods, and a group of men and horses drove slowly, a few willow leaves spun down from the air, and a dangerous smell came from the air.

Sensing the approaching danger, the horse began to agitate. The team gradually stopped advancing, and many guards watched nervously. Gu Beiyuan reined in his horse, his thumb stroked the hilt of the knife, and with a little force, the blade of the knife that flashed with cold light was slightly unsheathed.

With a few "booms", countless arrows flew from the shadows, instantly shooting down most of the soldiers in the team.

"There are assassins! Protect the Lord! A soldier was shouting loudly, but an arrow pierced his chest, and blood splattered.

Several men in black descended out of thin air, and everyone responded one after another. Several black-clothed people rushed towards Fu An's carriage, Gu Beiyuan narrowed his eyes, and an evil aura emanated from his body.

"Protect Your Highness!" The guards stepped forward one after another to surround the carriage and fight with the man in black.

A cold sword broke through the air, approaching Fu An's frame with a chill from Sensen, sensing a powerful murderous aura, Gu Beiyuan stepped on his horse and flew up to prepare to block this sword.

said that it was too late, and then quickly, with a sound of "huh-", a golden figure shot faster than Gu Beiyuan, blocking the comer, but it was Fu An himself.

Qing Han's sword is menacing, like a stormy wave, but Fu An is like a calm and powerful pool of water, at first it is plain but the sword has a hidden edge, making it difficult for people to get close.

Gu Beiyuan hesitated to step forward, and at this time, a neighing horse roared through the forest, and Fu Ling's horse on the side was obviously frightened, and ran away after crashing into everyone.

"Not good! The princess's car is gone! The soldier reacted just in time.

Gu Beiyuan picked up his sword and rode his horse to chase after him quickly. Fu Ling shouted in panic from the car: "Help! ”

The horse lost control, and the frame was driven and staggered, as if it was about to break at any moment. Gu Beiyuan rode his horse to catch up and shouted, "Princess! Fu An wanted to chase after him, but he was blocked by the man in black and died, unable to withdraw, and the guards behind him chased after him.

Fu Ling shook his head out of the car, and his voice was crying: "Help me!" Brother Beiyuan! ”

"Don't be afraid, hand me your hand!" Gu Beiyuan soothed, approached Fu Ling with the horse, and reached out to pull her, Fu Ling stretched out his hand, and when he saw that he was about to meet, Fu Ling's carriage was pressed against a stone, and the body was completely oblique, Fu Ling flew out under the huge impact, Gu Beiyuan saw the opportunity, flew and stepped on, and grabbed Fu Ling in mid-air, Fu Ling threw himself into Gu Beiyuan's arms, looking at each other, as if there were waves. Gu Beiyuan took Fu Ling around and slowly landed. Time seems to stand still. Fu Ling gasped for breath and couldn't react for a while.

"It's okay," Gu Beiyuan reassured.

Fu Ling slowly raised his head, his red little face looked at Gu Beiyuan in a daze as if it was dyed with mist, his tearful eyes flashed pitifully, Gu Beiyuan reached out and touched Fu Ling's head, Fu Ling came back to his senses, and threw himself into Gu Beiyuan's arms, burying his head and crying.

Gu Beiyuan was stunned, and his heart was touched like ripples.

"Princess! Princess! "From afar, Gu's reinforcements came in. Gu Beiyuan appeased Fu Ling and took her over on the horse.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, everyone looked back and saw Gu Beiyuan coming back with Fu Ling, and they were relieved.

A leader of the Gu clan knelt on the ground: "The subordinates are late to save the car, please forgive the princess and the general!" ”

Fu Ling was still a little afraid, and nested softly on Gu Beiyuan's chest, until Fu An called: "Ling'er! How are you! ”

Fu Ling shook his head, and just wanted to lean forward, but his body was soft and almost covered from the horse, Gu Beiyuan hurriedly held on, and simply hugged Fu Ling and got off the horse, Fu An frowned slightly when he saw this.

"What about the Assassins?" Gu Beiyuan asked.

"General Hui, the people led by him fled after fighting with His Royal Highness the Prince, and the rest of the people did not survive." The guard said.

"Waste." Gu Beiyuan frowned, his face gloomy.

"Ling'er, come here" Fu An said unhappily when he saw that Fu Ling was still leaning on Gu Beiyuan.

Fu Ling walked over in a huff, and was held by Fu An in his hand and walked forward, Fu Ling turned his head and glanced at Gu Beiyuan with some reluctance, Fu An frowned even deeper when he saw this.

The carriage and horses set off again, but Gu Beiyuan cautiously stood outside Fu Ling's car, not leaving an inch. Fu Ling hid in the car, peeking outside the car from time to time, and gradually blushed, like a careful daughter's family.

In the city of Yanfen.

"Kneel!" A treacherous and high-pitched voice slipped by, adding a bit of gloom to the oppressive atmosphere.

A group of people slowly knelt down, the solemn atmosphere made people breathless, suddenly there was a loud wail from the crowd, everyone was affected and suddenly cried uncontrollably, the sad breath continued to come, several old men in the front row covered their faces in pain, their expressions were decayed like walking corpses followed Gu Yannian's coffin, Gu Beiyu led by Gu Beiyu raised his eyes to look at the gray-white sky, his dignified face was full of mourning, and a pair of gray-blue eyes were as deep as a pool, as if frozen.

"Kneel again!" The voice slid across the sky again, and the cart pushing the coffin slowly walked down the street, and the civilians on both sides knelt on the ground one after another to bow down, expressing their pity for the founding father, and the atmosphere in the spacious street market was solemn and depressing, and there was no superfluous sound. The prestige of the Gu clan in the Xin Kingdom can be imagined.

According to the rules of Xinguo, everyone bowed all the way to send the coffin to the city gate, and then escorted the coffin to the cemetery by the Lisi fast horse, Gu Xun is the founding father, qualified to enter the official cemetery under the royal cemetery, Gu Beiyu took part of the clan in the city to do a great job.

In the Gu Mansion, the officials who came to pay their respects came one after another.

Gu Beiyu knelt in front of the coffin for a long time without saying a word, and there was no expression on Leng Yi's face.

"Qi Ping's Lord Qi has arrived!" A high-pitched transmission resounded through the Gu Mansion, and suddenly everyone in the courtyard couldn't help but stop and turned to look in the direction of the door, only to see a man in official uniform walking in arrogantly at everyone.

Seeing this, everyone whispered: "Why is he here......"

Gu Yannian frowned slightly: "It's not good." ”

Gu Beiyu raised his eyes and calmly watched Qi Pingzhi coming.

Qi Pingzhi gave Gu Xun incense according to the rules, turned around and walked in front of Gu Yannian: "Master Gu hasn't seen you for many days, is your body okay?" ”

"The old man is still in good health, and he doesn't care about it." Gu Yannian stroked his beard.

"Hey, it's a pity, the Gu family has such a founding veteran guarding the Gu family and just leaving, the first emperor remembers the kindness of the Gu family, and even His Majesty is scruples, but I don't know if the Gu family can be as stable as Mount Tai without this blessing in the future?" Qi Pingzhi dusted off his shirt and sighed and smiled.

"Lord Qi, don't forget, Lao Yu is also a person who has assisted two generations of emperors." Gu Yannian heard the provocation and reminded unhappily.

"Oh? Yes, it's just that Lord Gu should not forget the truth that the extremes of things must be opposed, and the king's strategy lies in checks and balances. Qi Pingzhi said slowly.

"What do you want?" Gu Yannian said coldly.

"It seems that Elder Gu is more anxious, so Qi Mou said bluntly, once because the elder Xun was still alive, the Gu family was above 10,000 people under one person in the Xin Kingdom, but now it is different from the past, if you are a little careless, then the Gu Mansion will have no reliance. Qi is loved by His Majesty and can have today, and he may not be able to deal with Gu Fu in the future, and I hope that they can help each other at that time. Qi Pingzhi said.

Gu Yannian glanced at Qi Ping lightly, and snorted coldly: "The Tao is different, and I will never be in the same boat with the villain who tends to be inflammatory." ”

Hearing this, everyone present looked at Gu Yannian in unison, and the atmosphere froze for a while. However, Qi Pingzhi was not angry but laughed: "Since Elder Gu said so, then Qi will not be reluctant, if there is any change in the officialdom in the coming day, I will not show mercy." How long your Gu family can stand proudly is unknown. ”

Qi Pingzhi is not wrong, Gu Xun is a veteran who accompanied the founding emperor of Xin to create a century-old foundation, his son Gu Yang died on the battlefield in middle age, leaving Gu Luochuan and Gu Yannian two sons, and later Gu Luochuan inherited the position of general in a war and his wife both died on the battlefield, the young Gu Beiyu grew up under the teaching of his great-grandfather Gu Xun, and later became the general of Xin, and gradually fell out of harmony with his ambitious uncle Gu Yannian, but he has been bearing the responsibility of the family for the glory of Gu.

And Qi Pingzhi was born as a guard, and his sister Concubine Qi is the concubine favored by His Majesty today. Emperor Xin was not ignorant, but intended to let Qi Pingzhi and the Gu clan balance each other.

Gu Yannian narrowed his eyes and looked at Qi Pingzhi coldly.

"Now that Concubine Qi is favored, the future may not be expensive for mothers and children, if our two families are still fighting to the death in the officialdom, then our Qi family may not lose in the future, so now for the sake of the overall situation, we should also balance the relationship, less officialdom infighting is not, I advise you, it is better to cultivate more body, less work for political affairs, and it is the right way to take care of your life." Qi Pingzhi said defiantly.

"You!" Gu Yannian flicked his sleeves angrily.

"With Lord Laoqi's troubles, but with me Gu Beiyu here, the Gu family will not fall!" Gu Beiyu, who had been silent, suddenly got up and spoke, shocking everyone.

"Oh? I didn't expect General Gu to have such great ambitions at a young age, I don't know if our majesty will give you, a general with a heavy army, a chance to display his ambitions? Qi Pingzhi smiled sinisterly.

Gu Beiyu's cold gaze skimmed over Qi Pingzhi: "Come on, send off guests, if you see this person without my permission in the future, you will never let him step into Gu Mansion for half a step!" Bo Liang's voice was chilling, and there was a bit of domineering in his cold eyes.

"Yes!" Several guards with knives immediately stood in front of Qi Ping's body, "Lord Qi, please!" ”

Qi Pingzhi put away his gaze and stared at Gu Beiyu for a moment, and then walked away with his sleeves.

Until Qi Pingzhi walked away, everyone dispersed, but they couldn't help but have some respect for the new heir.
