Chapter 16: Gu Liang's Death

"Good tea!"

After drinking it all, Gu Xi praised it with a teacup.

"Haha, Brother Gu is refreshing, my Yue Hai is naturally good tea to entertain guests, and the cup of tea you just drank is worth dozens of taels of silver. Yue Hai said with a smile.

Hearing this, Gu Xi was slightly stunned, took the next cup of tea with a slight tremor in his arm, and observed it carefully.

Dozens of taels of silver......

It's enough to cover their family's expenses in the Great Wilderness for a few years, but it tastes similar to the tea he made from picking broken leaves in the mountains, how can it be so valuable?

After that, Gu Xi didn't dare to take a sip like just now, but instead learned from Yue Hai on the side, gently took a few sips on the tea surface with his mouth, and savored it carefully.

When he drank it, Gu Xi's heart was dripping blood, dozens of taels of silver, but it was gone in a few sips!

At the same time, there was still a little sour in my heart, and I couldn't help but secretly slander myself, the young master of the rich and powerful family, what he eats and drinks is different from our ordinary people.

"If Brother Gu doesn't dislike it, I still have a few packs of Qingxin tea here, which I will give to Brother Gu when I leave. Yue Hai looked at Gu Xi who was carefully drinking tea on the side, and said with a smile.

"No merit," Gu Xi smiled, and pushed away Yue Hai's tea bag without a trace, "The third prince of Yue and I have already cleared up, how can we talk about gifting?"

As the saying goes, 'The mouth of the eater is short, and the hand of the man who takes the hand of the other is soft.' Gu Xi didn't dare to take it rashly.

Yue Hai watched the tea bag being pushed back by Gu Xi, quietly placed it in front of him, and chuckled.

The night in Tianyi City is very quiet......

The bamboo forest where they are now located is separated by several streets from the downtown area, so there is almost no hustle and bustle, only the sound of the summer night and the croaking of frogs in the lake.

"Above the starry sky, the stars are like water," Yue Hai looked at the starry sky and said, "The starry sky of the Lan Kingdom is covered with dark clouds, locked by a heavy haze and fog, and you can't see the starry sky at a glance, and you can't see the starry light. ”

"A few days ago, the two suns in the Great Wilderness competed for glory, and fierce beasts emerged one after another, breaking through the century-old haze of the Lan Kingdom, it can be said that the time has come. Yue Hai poured tea and drank it himself, and said lightly.

As he spoke, a strong wind suddenly blew on the surface of the silent lake, blowing away the sparrows resting in the bamboo forest.

Suddenly, the wind gradually stopped, and Yue Hai looked back at Gu Xi with a smile on his face: "Brother Gu came out of the Great Wilderness, and he must have also enjoyed the scenery of the twin suns on the sky. ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Xi drank tea, gently put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "Of course, the grand occasion of the two yangs coming out together may not be seen by ordinary people in their lives." ”

Then, Gu Xi recalled the scene of the old people chatting in the village before, and dealt with Yue Hai at the same time.

Although he saved Yue Hai's life, and Yue Hai also knew about Entubao, Gu Xi still couldn't confirm whether Yue Hai was friend or foe, if it was really the same as what was said in the war book, he was afraid that he would be used as a gunman.

Brother Gu's speech and demeanor didn't seem to be from the Great Wilderness, but he had a bookish smell on his body. Yue Hai fiddled with the tea set on the table and said.

"There is a teacher in the village, Gu has followed Mr. since he was a child, and he has been following him for more than ten years, how can he not have the breath of a scholar?" Gu Xi calmly coped.

"Oh......"

Yue Hai suddenly realized, and then smiled: "I heard that Brother Gu is the third in the family?"

"That's true. Gu Xi smiled.

"I don't know Brother Gu, your eldest brother, where are you seeking a career now?" Yue Hai asked calmly in a low voice.

Gu Xi's eyes moved slightly, and he looked up at Yue Hai, who was sitting opposite, but Yue Hai didn't look up, and poured himself a drink on the tea table, as if chatting with him.

"The eyes and ears of the Yue family are all over the Lan country, and it is very simple to find out where my eldest brother is. Gu Xi said coldly, and as he spoke, a terrifying cold aura came out of his body.

Eldest brother......

This title is a thorn in Gu Xi's heart, and it is also a taboo that their Gu family is reluctant to mention.

It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, which is not false at all, when Gu Xi and Gu Jin were still young, their parents went to the field to do farm work, and the eldest brother Gu Liang took them at home, stayed by their side, and grew up with him and his second brother.

Compared with his parents, Gu Xi, a person who doesn't like to talk when he is young, is more willing to say a few words to his eldest brother.

Ten years ago, his eldest brother Gu Liang enlisted, and together with other people in the village, he went out of the great wilderness, and was ordered to join the army formed by Lan Guo and go to the west bank of Lan Guo to suppress bandits.

Before leaving, Gu Xi still vaguely remembered what the eldest brother said, still remembered the eldest brother's smiling face, and discussed where to play when the eldest brother came back, but he didn't want to be the last time to see the eldest brother.

Time passed like water.

Although the eldest brother has been gone for several months, Gu Xi still stands on the cliff at the top of the Great Wilderness, looking into the distance.

However, what he was waiting for was bad news......

The suppression of bandits failed, the eldest brother died tragically on the battlefield, and the Gu family only got a few silver taels subsidized by the army.

And this news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shrouded in the Gu family, Gu Xi, who was originally silent, collapsed, and spent all day with books as a companion, until he had an extra sister, and the family had more joy and less sorrow.

This is why when the second brother proposed to take him out of the Great Wilderness, his father strongly objected, because he was afraid of the old man, and he was afraid of losing another child!

I thought that time could wash away the grief of the past, but now that I think about it, Gu Xi's eyes are wet, and the anger that has been suppressed in his heart for many years still has not been vented.

"Yue Hai, if you come to make fun of me on this trip, I will not accompany you. Gu Xi got up coldly and turned his head to leave.

"Brother Gu and slow ......"

Yue Hai hurriedly shouted and blurted out: "Your eldest brother's death is not as simple as it seems. ”

Hmmm-

The sound of breaking the air sounded, and Gu Xi instantly came to Yue Hai's side, his clothes were bulging, and his blood-colored eyes were full of murderous intent, staring at Yue Hai's eyes.

Yue Hai couldn't see Gu Xi's movements clearly, looking at Gu Xi's pupils, he shuddered in his heart, and only felt that he was looking at the fierce beast of the Flood Desolation.

"Say, what do you know?" Gu Xi's cold and piercing voice rang in his ears, and Yue Hai shuddered.

"Ten years ago, the royal family's suppression of bandits on the West Bank, which wiped out 100,000 troops, was a conspiracy. Yue Hai said, frightened and took a few steps back, his face pale.

"Yue Hai, what are you talking about," Gu Xi stared at Yue Hai's eyes and said coldly, "Conspiracy, what evidence do you have to prove that the bandits on the West Coast ten years ago were a conspiracy?"

"If I wasn't completely sure, how could I call Brother Gu to come and talk about it?"

Yue Hai said indifferently, and then took off a pale cyan brand from his waist and handed it to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi took the sign, rubbed his fingers on the blurred handwriting on the sign, saw the handwriting on the sign clearly, frowned, and exclaimed: "You are from the royal family?"

"That's right, it's not just me, even the forces standing behind our Yue family are all the royal family of the Lan Kingdom!"

As soon as the words fell, Yue Hai sighed lightly: "Our Yue family can be said to have been supported by the royal family, so we have a place in the Lan Kingdom, otherwise how can we confront the Chen family with a strong foundation within a hundred years." ”
