Chapter 87: An Unquiet Night
"I know it's wrong, brother, I really know it's wrong, don't say it" Yun Jin said regretfully, "I don't say some things, you will never understand, both of us must remember that no matter how great our ability and ability are in the future, Dad He will always be our father, and there is absolutely no room for the slightest contempt and offense, remember" Yunlang said solemnly. "Brother, I remember, I remember, don't worry, I won't be like this in the future" Yun Jin said with a straight face, "Okay, you go and rest too, we will continue to play chess tomorrow morning" Yun Lang waved his hand.
"Ah, really go on?" Yun Jin said with a painful face, "Of course, I think it's okay for you to go down, I still have an important task for you?" Yun Lang said as a matter of course, "Ah, I really have a task, brother, can you reveal a little bit in advance" Yun Jin saw that he really had a task, and immediately said with a hippie smile. "Go, go to sleep, think about what I just said, otherwise, you will never come up with the door of this hotel" Yun Lang said, "Well, okay, I'll go to sleep right away, and then repeat what you told me" Yun Jin left with a grin.
Yun Jin finally left, and Yun Jiu, who was attracted by the roar of Yun Lang and listened to the root of the wall in the crack of the door, had mixed feelings in his heart, and secretly said, "Yun Lang, this bear child, has really grown up, and I am about to shed tears when I hear this, but I really don't have such a deep mind when I teach Yun Jin, a stinky monkey, to kill boredom, how did he quote it so deeply, this is the real demon."
If Yun Lang knew that Yun Jiu inside the crack in the door was thinking like this, he would probably be killed by a head-on.
Yun Lang was training Yun Jin in the hotel, Gu Liang was also training Gu Pinghai in the City Lord's Mansion, and the disheveled Gu Pinghai and his eighth wife Ye Mei'er, who was also disheveled and trembling, knelt in the Gu family's Heroic Hall. At this moment, Gu Liang, who had been reprimanded for more than an hour, pressed his swollen forehead, closed his eyes and waited for the final investigation report. It didn't take long for Fan Hai, the captain of the internal guard, to report the voice, "You get up, Hai'er, go open the door and let Fan Hai in" Gu Liang closed his eyes weakly and said, Gu Pinghai got up slowly, rubbing his numb knees, and Ye Mei'er, who was also kneeling uncomfortably, threw a pleading look at him, hoping that he would help him talk, Gu Pinghai shook his head in pain and tiptoed towards the gate.
Fan Hai saw that it was the city lord who opened the door, and saluted respectfully, "City lord's ......", Gu Pinghai waved his hand and pointed at Gu Liang, which means that you don't have to think about me to report, just report to him, Fan Hai smiled awkwardly, came to Gu Liang's side, and respectfully reported, "General Qiyu, my subordinates have verified the missing items in the city lord's study, this is the investigation report", "I don't want to see it, you just say it" Gu Liang said coldly.
"Yes, my lord, in this theft incident, a total of fifty-three pieces of gold and silverware, five precious jade items, and three antique items were lost, the most precious of which was ......" Fan Hainian stuttered here, "What are you afraid of?" Say it directly," Gu Liang coldly urged. Fan Hai gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, the most precious of them is the adult's identity brand emerald starry sky jade", as soon as his words fell, a storm suddenly blew in the entire hall, and with a "boom", Fan Hai was directly knocked into the pillar of the hall, the corners of his mouth were bloody, his breath was weak, his expression was scattered, and his vitality was completely shattered at this moment.
The sudden scene suddenly made Gu Pinghai's teeth tremble, and he didn't know what to do, Ye Mei'er, who was too frightened, screamed directly, and passed out, Gu Liang stood up slowly and automatically without wind, and walked towards Fan Haidao step by step, "As the captain of the internal guard, the mansion lord has stolen the treasure, your crime is unforgivable, the mansion master has been plotted, and the ugly behavior is in the world, you are not careless in the first place, and the matter is not hindered, the same capital crime, so, you rest in peace."
Fan Hai stretched out his hand unwillingly, and finally died without blinking.
Gu Liang, who looked cold and his heart was as heavy as iron, said to Gu Pinghai, who was standing stupidly, "You personally dispose of this woman, the theft of the starry sky jade must not be known to the third person, otherwise, our Gu family will usher in a catastrophe, do you understand?" "Uncle, is she from the Ye family? Guping Haikou reminded dryly. No matter who she is, she must die, and when the time comes, it is a big deal to bring something from the ancestral treasury to accompany them, what is her death compared to the safety of our ancient family's foundation? You drag her to the back now, and Valhalla should see blood," Gu Liang said coldly.
Facing Gu Liang at this moment, Gu Pinghai didn't dare to disobey in the slightest, and dragged the unconscious Ye Mei'er to the back of the hall, and then Ye Mei'er's unwilling miserable cry came. The first time he killed someone, and he also killed the person he loved the most, shame, fright, fear, holding a blood-dripping blade, and his eyes were glazed, Gu Pinghai laughed nervously, "Haha, I finally killed someone, haha, I killed someone, ah, no, Mei'er, what's wrong with you, ah no, Mei'er, wake up." Gu Pinghai, who was in a hurry, still dropped the knife in his hand in horror, jumped up in shock and fear, and rushed out, "Kill that, kill that", as soon as he saw Gu Liang, he immediately flew over and said in horror with blood on his hands, "Kill that, my charmer, be killed, quick, call the guards, where are you all dead, come on, kill people."
Gu Liang looked at the crazy Gu Pinghai, he was dumbfounded for a while, he was speechless and had a splitting headache, at this time the guards who heard the cry slammed open the door and rushed in nervously, Gu Lianghai raised his palm, knocked Gu Pinghai unconscious, and forcibly calmed down to everyone, "You send the city lord back to the room, let him rest well, and at the same time go and invite Guo Xiao, the doctor in the north of the city, to me."
Dead in the hall, crazy and crazy, Gu Liang walked towards his general's mansion dejectedly, when he went out, looking at his projected back, he felt that he was so thin and powerless, Gu Ya'an Gu family, the former iron-blooded pillars are really going to come to an end? He has worked hard to maintain the status of the ancient family for more than 30 years, and now he really feels tired, and his heart is full of desolation and unwillingness.
The theft of the starry sky jade and the city lord's madness are absolutely secret, so the city lord's mansion, which had been noisy in the middle of the night, still returned to calm as usual, but since the Valhalla has seen blood, then this blood color will not stop easily, so a series of arrangements began to unfold in the general's mansion one after another.
However, everything is fulfilled what the Heavenly Dao said, if you want you to perish, let you go crazy first, when the long bloodstains in the Heroic Spirit Point, the cloak scattered, like a ghost-like Ye Mei'er crawled out of the hall from the dead, it was decided that the secret that Gu Liang wanted to keep was no longer a secret, and the turmoil and iron blood that Gu Ya City was about to last for ten years finally slowly kicked off.
Hou Zhan, who was training in the Beishan base, had not appeared on the training ground since the morning, and at this moment when night came, the generals he had just gathered outside the door, Gu Pinghai, the honorary eldest brother in the brotherhood, he had long ignored it, but he had to pay attention to the order of Gu Liang, the patriarch of the Gu family. He is a member of the Brotherhood and an old retainer of the Gu family, since he was fortunate enough to pass the test and enter the Templar Academy, he really wants to achieve a commendable career, but it is a pity that the ancient and decaying Gu family does not give him the slightest trust and opportunity at all, and also tries to suppress him in every way.
It wasn't until ten years ago that Gu Pinghai, the little brother of Fa, took over the government, and he didn't get a chance to show his role, but over the years, especially since Gu Pinghai was in charge, he quickly showed his greedy and lustful nature. For a time, in the name of the Brotherhood, he exploited the people, fished the people, and did everything he could, he had repeatedly prevented and persuaded him, but Gu Pinghai agreed on the surface, but he still did his own thing behind his back, and did not take his words seriously.
What pained him the most was that the headquarters of the Brotherhood not only turned a blind eye to these and still acted recklessly, but instead praised his so-called "contributions", gave the privilege of the foreign deacon in the eastern region, and also gave the Brotherhood the status and status symbol of the starry sky jade, and had the right to mobilize the troops of the three western cities.
With the outer deacon and the starry sky jade, the city lord's mansion can finally expand its armaments with great fanfare, and even more harshly exploit the desolate people, and he was heartbroken, and he was depressed, and he hiberned for a few more years, and finally under the guidance of Lei Hu and some old brothers, he began to create his own small gang, Haoyuantang. In just two years, Haoyuantang has begun to take shape, although the number is only more than a hundred, but these people are all disciplined, righteous heroes, and most of them are experienced to high-level hunters and hunters.
Gu Liang also saw Hou Zhan's training skills, so he officially activated him and asked him to act as an agent for the training of the new army, and Hou Zhan also hoped to find a suitable background for his brothers, and at the same time alleviate his stretched financial resources.
Today, from the first order to transfer troops in the morning, to now it is an emergency order to transfer troops, he doesn't know what happened to Guya City, why Gu Liang, who has always been calm, is so anxious, but as a king-hunting general who is super sensitive to everything, he can still smell the unusualness contained in it, but now is not wartime after all, and there is no need for the army to march in a hurry.
30,000 troops, 20,000 left behind in the fortress camp, continue to drill and protect the machinery factory and the war readiness material warehouse, the order received in the morning, the mechanical brigade has already set off at noon, it should be able to arrive after dark, and he led the mixed Chinese army of 10,000 plus a flying squadron, which can also arrive before dawn. He also had a useful intention in arranging it this way, most of these 10,000 people are descendants of the Gu family, if something really happened to Guya City, then these people are just used by Gu Liang, and they also avoid Gu Liang's suspicion, and at the same time, according to the strength of the various gangs in Gu Ya City, these 10,000 people just maintain a balance. At the same time, from a certain point of view, it also allows his true strength to be preserved, of course, he will not be so obvious, at least some of these ten thousand people are people on his bright side. The dawn of Gu Ya'an has finally come, for many people who have not slept all night, it is said that such a night is not ordinary pain and hardship, Gu Liang put a towel on his head, pressed his painful forehead, and asked the chief guard beside him, "Has Hou Zhan arrived?" "Tell your lordship, General Hou has arrived, and is entering the city at this moment, and the three generals Gu Jun, Gu Shan, and Gu Yuan have already entered the three city gates according to your orders, and they are waiting outside to report to you at this moment," the guard replied.
"These three things that are not successful, they don't stay in the army, what are they doing here, what else is there to report to guarding the city gate, I think what they are thinking about is whether I, an old immortal, is still alive" Gu Liang hated iron and steel, in this case, the young guard commander didn't know how to answer, and was speechless for a while.
Gu Liang took off the towel on his head in annoyance and said, "You go and let them in, the old pestle is at the door, I don't know, I think they are guarding my spirit", the guards responded, and after a while, the three middle-aged generals came to Gu Liang's room with a dragon and a tiger step, and came to Gu Liang's room with great momentum, and saw Gu Liang bowing down and saying "Nephew, Gu Jun, Gu Shan, Gu Yuan, and Gu Yuan to see my uncle."
When Gu Liang saw it, he immediately said with a spring breeze on his face, "Oh, hehe, you three little guys, it's really a casual recitation, just now I also told Xiao Lizi, the people of the Gu family are still the people of the Gu family, as soon as they received my order, they came so quickly, thank you for your hard work, come, come and get up, how troublesome it is for the family to kneel around, I am here just like your home, all of them are casually." Gu Liang's words, the spring breeze blowing on the face, heartwarming, if there are three fledgling young men kneeling here, I am sure to be grateful in an instant, and forget about death.
But who are these three people, this is the famous Gu family three fritters in Guya City, before entering the army, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, two years ago it was Gu Liang who escorted them to the new army camp, and at the same time gave them these Gu family brothers, if they left, they left their posts without orders, and they were punished by military law, which allowed these sons and brothers who wanted to die to stay in peace and began to plague the fortress base.
After two years of military polishing, although they look a lot calmer, the oil and gas in their bones have not decreased at all, but have become thicker, but at this moment they still put on a military demeanor.
Especially as soon as he heard that he could go back to Guya City, he drove the locomotives fast one by one, so they were faster than Hou Zhan expected, last night Gu Liang just arranged it, and their troops entered the city, and he didn't see them at that time, so he ordered them to take over the city defense, stick to the city gate, and the three people who held back all night couldn't bear it anymore, so they hurried to come early in the morning to ask for peace, hoping to "go home" to see.
Of course, the three of them knew that this was the old patriarch being polite, but the play still had to be done, and they insisted on kneeling and saying, "For the honor of the Gu family, I am willing to be born and die", this is the family motto of the Gu family, and there is no need to use it at this time. "Okay, you finally let the old man see a little hope, get up, don't go home first, wait for two days when Guya City is calm, just stay" Gu Liang didn't want to grind his teeth with them anymore.
"Uncle, my mother came with a letter last night, let me go home and have a look, you also know that his old man has been bedridden, and his nephew has not fulfilled his filial piety for the past two years, please allow me to go home and take a look, just a glance, I will return to the team immediately" Gu Shan took the lead in crying and praying with a sad face, "Uncle, my nephew and grandson haven't been home for two years, your little great-grandson is almost not remembering his father's appearance, you can do it, let me go home" Gu Jun immediately followed up and begged, "Uncle, it's okay if I don't go back, But please allow your granddaughter-in-law to come and see me, she is already guarding the gate of the barracks, and you also know that our family has not been around, so you can be accommodating" Gu Yuan also pleaded.
Where are the three generals who were in high spirits just now, it was completely three dead skins and splashed skins, Gu Liang suddenly felt his qi and blood surge, and a wave of dizziness came, and he grabbed the armrest to prevent himself from falling on the chair. It is not okay to not let them go back to loosen their pines, otherwise he doesn't know what jokes will be made, he waved his hand like chasing flies and said, "Go, go, before noon, I will go to patrol the city, if I can't see you, you can go directly to the city defense military justice department."
The three of them immediately got up to thank them, and then left happily, after the three of them left, Gu Liang's face instantly fell, and he coldly ordered the chief of the guard, Li Qing, to "Qing'er, no matter who the saboteur is this time, as long as the first day passes safely, I see what kind of means he has, you arrange the dock gang to secretly monitor every move of the major gangs for me, especially Beilongtang, that Ye Xian has kept a low profile for so many years, I always feel that this time I have an inseparable relationship with them."
Hearing Gu Liang mention the wharf gang, a secret force that is mixed in the market, Li Qing immediately reported, "My lord, there was such news from the dock yesterday, saying that Beilongtang received a big person, who was personally picked up by Beifeng, accompanied by three black war tigers, and it is certain that the fighters formed by the army are very uniform, because their radar signals are very uniform."
Gu Liang was stunned when he heard this, and said, "When did this happen?" Li Qing immediately found the report that he threw aside and Gou Biao sent and handed it over. Gou Biao? This name seems to be a little familiar" Gu Liang looked at Gou Biao's scribbled signature and said, "He is the eldest lady's brother-in-law, I came to you a few years ago, and you only saw him at that time" Li Qing explained, "I can't imagine that a person with a foreign surname is so attentive, well, it's very good" Gu Liang looked at the detailed record inside.
"Since even the northern madman who has always been above the top is so well-behaved, it seems that this person is not small, and the time is such a coincidence, first there was an accident in the casino, and then there was the theft of the city lord's mansion, interesting" Gu Liang said coldly, "My lord, do you want it?" Li Qing said, "No, now these gangs are staring at us, once we have something to do, they will inevitably endanger themselves, and then attack them in groups, and then the entire Guya City will not be so easy to clean up" Gu Liang interrupted.
Gu Liang pondered for a while and said decisively, "You go and convey my order to Hou Zhan immediately, I have already handwritten a letter to him, so that he will not come to me to ask for peace, and directly take over the garrison of Gu Ya City on my behalf, and by the way, bring all this news to him, I want to rest" Li Qing took the letter handed to him by Gu Liang, a little unable to believe what Gu Liang said just now.
What does it mean to take over the garrison, this means that the old man's later affairs, he didn't care about the preparations, but gave full authority to Hou Zhan, which not only includes all the troops, but also everyone's net worth and lives.
Gu Liang looked at Li Qingdao, who was a little stupid, "Don't rub it off, old man, my old illness has recurred, and I can't hold on anymore, so be it, you take my sword and give it to him, if you dare to disobey, let him not ask for instructions, deal with it directly, and you will say that this is what I mean when I get there", Gu Liang seemed to remember something after speaking, and added, "Inform the guards, from now on, I won't see anyone, I don't care about anything, go ahead."
Li Qing knelt down with a painful face and said, "What about me?" Master", "I don't see anyone except you, since the storm is coming, then let everyone jump out, you are also smart, silly boy, this is the last trick that your master and I taught you, to retreat as advance, and the water will come out" Gu Liang said lovingly. Gu Liang had no children in his life, and there was only this apprentice Li Qing, who he had always regarded as his son, so he still couldn't bear to see him feel uncomfortable, and told him his strategy, who made him worry the most, it can be said that it was neither the low-key Beilong Tang Yexian, nor those rabble gangs that were mixed in the market, but Hou Zhan, who was stable and had a good eye for things.
The arrangement of Hou Zhan this time can be said to be impeccable, most of the children of the Gu family have been brought back, and several famous hunters in Haoyuan Hall have also returned, the number is not much, there are just 13,000 people, which can not only stabilize the overall situation of Guya City, but also not delay the training of the new army. There are three and a half hunting kings in Guya City, one of him, one of Hou Zhan, one of Ye Xian, and half of them are the two hunters of the Wharf Gang and the Guping Gang, the fifth-order gang leader, as for the Haiya Gang, forget it, after all, it is just a rabble formed by a group of low-level fishermen.
Over the years, he has pressed and pulled Hou Zhan, just hoping to control him, but after all, he is already a person with half of his body in the soil, and there is another group of moths and squirts in the clan, and even Gu Pinghai, who he has spent countless efforts to support, is now half crazy and half stupid, and he is not human.
In such a situation, he must finally confirm what Hou Zhan's mind is, if he just wants to be a regent like himself, then give him a good job, at least he can hope that the future heirs of the Gu family will have hope, and the Yin Spirit Hall of the most unfortunate Gu family can be preserved, and the Gu family will not be poisoned by others, which is also Gu Liang's bottom line.
If he wants to rebel and completely replace the Gu family, then he will also fight for his last life and die with Hou Zhan, so that at least he can alert the Gu family's wrecks, and they still have a large army in their hands, and they can also survive for a while.
Hou Zhan had already led the army into the city at this moment, according to the rules, he could not leave his troops until the order of the city lord or the general was delivered, and he meticulously began to arrange the city defense while waiting for the general's order. It wasn't until he met Li Qing that he understood that something really happened in the city lord's mansion, and after reading the handwritten letter that Gu Liang gave him, Hou Zhan was unfazed, and he was concerned about Gu Liang's physical condition, and then he began to exercise the power in his hands, but he never took the sword in Li Qing's hand.
