Gu Cheng came back in the afternoon.

At that time, he was very excited, his face was full of dust, and he walked all the way, and when he saw Gu Zijiu, he even burst into tears of excitement. And his clothes were even more muddy, because after a long time, they had dried out, plus the beard that had grown from the overnight journey, and the tired dark circles under his eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he was completely embarrassed.

Coupled with this pair of mountains and rivers, desperate just to be able to take a look at Gu Zijiu's eyes, it really makes people feel compassion in their hearts.

Even the subordinates of the Gu family who were standing on the side were almost shocked by Gu Cheng's actor-level acting skills.

Among these people, Gu Xiang and Gu Feibai were the calmest, they put their hands around their chests, the corners of their mouths almost provoked an exact arc, looking at Gu Cheng's expression, they stayed out of the matter as if they were strangers.

They grew up with Gu Cheng since they were children, so they naturally knew what was hidden under Gu Cheng's appearance, and because they didn't care about it before, they never thought that Gu Cheng would be so ungrateful. Now that Gu Zijiu has returned, all the facts have been revealed, so it is no wonder that the two people who didn't like Gu Cheng showed disgusted expressions.

For the sake of status, he was able to kill his teacher's daughter with his own hands, and people couldn't help but get angry when they thought about it.

But Gu Zijiu is very calm.

It was the first time she had seen Gu Cheng, but the memories in her mind were not. At the moment when Gu Cheng suddenly approached him, the instinctive reaction from his body was to run away, and the second was to cry.

But they were all forcibly pressed down by Gu Zijiu.

She calmly ignored the weakness in her heart, and instead took the short crossbow handed over by the person next to her, and after resetting it, the short arrow was instantly released, almost in the blink of an eye, piercing the target a hundred meters away.

This is not a short crossbow she brought from the palace, but a strong crossbow that has been transformed by Gu Xiang in battle frenzy and is specially used for life and death struggles, and its weight is by no means comparable to that of ordinary short crossbows, not to mention that its elasticity is so great that ordinary people can't control it at all.

It was only a morning since Gu Zijiu got this crossbow, and most of the time she spent hanging out, but Rao was like this, she still miraculously only took half an hour to master the operation principle of this strong crossbow.

Gu Cheng originally wanted to say something more, but seeing that Gu Zijiu's expression remained unchanged and he had achieved a hundred steps through Yang's skill, he subconsciously took two steps back.

But soon, he regained his emotions and said, "Why does the head of the house suddenly like to fiddle with these rough things? Haven't you always liked the fashionable things made in Gangnam? I heard that you came back safely, so I went around to Jiangnan to buy a lot of things for you. ”

Gu Cheng said, ordered someone to bring in a large box, opened it and saw that it was indeed as Gu Cheng said, they were all some gadgets that had been fashionable recently, and most of them looked good.

It's really the easiest thing to please girls.

Then, Gu Cheng flatteringly handed over another box, the box was very small, but it looked very delicate, Gu Zijiu didn't know what was in it, but he could vaguely smell the faint aroma.

It's about something like a perfume.

Gu Zijiu couldn't help but roll his eyes where Gu Cheng couldn't see.

"Gu Cheng, who told you that I like these things?"

"The head of the house?"

Gu Zijiu gave him a sneer: "You still know that I am the head of the family?" As she spoke, she reopened the crossbow with great momentum, facing the target in the distance, with a murderous look, "If you really put me in your eyes, you should buy all the famous restaurants when you go to Jiangnan this time!" ”

"Anyway, I'm also the world-famous head of the Gu family, I don't want to go to Jiangnan and have to pay for my own food!" Gu Zijiu obviously really attached importance to this issue, because the more she spoke, the more angry she became, and she even skipped the time to prepare, and pointed the crossbow at the target again.

Listening to the "snap", the new short arrow has covered the original short arrow, and a straight line has been split from the middle to hit the bullseye again.

"But look at what you bought when you went to Jiangnan this time, you wasted so many things in vain......" Gu Zijiu said as he suddenly pinched his nose, "Go somewhere else to be chic, right?" As the head of the Gu family, not only did he not take me seriously, but he also wasted the Gu family's money, do you think you are doing the right thing for Gu Feibai to pay for his hard work? ”

Gu Zijiu was filled with righteous indignation, and pointed to Gu Feibai, who had been standing on the side for a long time without speaking: "Look at how thin he has become!" A dignified eight-foot man, but he is tired of making a living! How distressing! ”

Gu Cheng glanced at Gu Feibai, who had obviously gained a little weight recently: "......"

"But the head of the house, you used to like these things the most."

Gu Zijiu sneered: "In this capital, who doesn't know that my Gu Zijiu's favorite thing is only food, but you say that I like these childish things the most, Gu Xiang, did he think so before?" ”

Gu Xiang nodded with a smile: "Little dove is really a noble person, your room has long been filled with these things." ”

Gu Zijiu looked at Gu Xiang, but in his actions, he suddenly aimed the crossbow at Gu Cheng, and said with a smile: "Gu Cheng, you are hiding others tightly." ”

"What is the head of the house talking about?"

"What do you think I'm talking about? Gu Cheng, his IQ has not grown over the years, but his acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds. ”

"Head of ......"

Gu Zijiu glanced at Gu Feibai, Gu Feibai immediately nodded slightly, and brought the man who had always been an important witness.

This man has been locked up for several days, and has been in a dark and damp place, and now he was suddenly pushed out, and the whole person was a little stunned, but after seeing Gu Zijiu, he suddenly screamed in fear.

Gu Feibai frowned, grabbed the man's shoulder with his hand, and the force was so great that he could almost directly crush his shoulder blade.

The man was dragged back to his senses in a trembling state, but he didn't dare to look at Gu Zijiu anymore, but kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Family master, I was wrong, I shouldn't have listened to the words of the eldest young master to harm you!" ”

“！！！” The dozens of guards of the Gu family standing here at this time all looked at this man who was constantly kowtowing in surprise.

"I don't dare! Give me the courage to hurt the head of the family! It's just that the eldest young master threatened my family's life, and I had to do it! Family master, spare me, everything is the idea of the eldest young master! ”

Gu Zijiu laughed: "Really? So you didn't want to drug me and throw me into a mass grave? ”

"yes, yes! The little ones are also forced! It's the poison that the eldest young master ordered someone to buy! It's the eldest young master who has been trying to harm you! ”

Hearing this, Gu Xiang, who had been smiling, moved his wrist, and then, more than a dozen men standing behind him showed murderous expressions on their faces at the same time and drew their long swords.

"Oh, so you remember how you killed me?" Gu Zijiu looked at Gu Cheng's suddenly ugly face with a smile, "I thought you all forgot, so you dare to provoke even those who came back from hell." ”

Gu Cheng's expression changed, looking at Gu Xiang and Gu Feibai, who suddenly walked in front of Gu Zijiu, and subconsciously looked around.

He had already realized that when he returned home this time, Gu Zijiu was determined to eradicate him, so he used such a tough attitude from the beginning.

Gu Cheng scolded secretly, and was about to find a reason to leave first, but the door behind him was suddenly closed, and immediately after, Gu Cheng was suddenly surrounded by the angry Gu family's subordinates.

"Family master, don't listen to his nonsense, I have expelled him from the Gu Mansion a few days ago, he must have deliberately framed me because he hated me, family master! Head of the family, I have watched you grow up since I was a child, and I swore to protect you all the time, how could I want to harm you! ”

Gu Zijiu let out an "oh" and looked at the man who was still kowtowing: "But doesn't this product already recognize you as a big brother?" A while ago, I was thinking about going to the mass grave to find my jade pendant, didn't I? Why didn't you find him? ”

Gu Zijiu said, stabbing Gu Feibai who was standing aside.

Gu Feibai, who had been silent, glanced at Gu Zijiu, and finally took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, looked at Gu Cheng, and said, "This is the reward you promised him after the matter was completed." He said, looking at the paper that had been folded several times with disgust, "Fortunately, there were other things to do at the time, and I didn't rush to kill him, otherwise, today would be really troublesome." ”

Gu Zijiu patted Gu Feibai's shoulder with relief.

"Gu Cheng, since you're back, why don't we settle an account."

Gu Cheng looked at the men attacking around him with fear, and subconsciously asked, "What account?" ”

Gu Zijiu's face suddenly turned cold, and he raised his strong crossbow and gestured towards Gu Cheng's heart: "Dead man's account." ”

Gu Cheng chuckled in his heart, looking at Gu Zijiu, who was standing in the distance with a terrifying face like a demon, outside the siege of everyone, a guess suddenly popped up in his heart: "You are not the head of the family!" It is impossible for the head of the family to be so ruthless! ”

"Of course she wouldn't have such a ruthless heart." In the face of Gu Cheng's questioning, Gu Zijiu did not refute, but laughed even more terriblely, "It's just that she is so kind-hearted and has been dragged to hell by you, and now she is standing in front of you, she is already a ghost, you say, since she has become a ghost, where is the kindness?" ”

When Gu Cheng heard her say that, he knew that he had no more reason to justify, so he raised his head and laughed, suddenly stretched out his arms, and said, "Do you think that with the support of Gu Xiang and Gu Feibai now, you can avenge yourself?" Or do you have the confidence to be the head of the family in your father's place? Impossible! Hahaha, impossible! ”

"Brush."

Along with Gu Cheng's arrogant words, a large number of black-clothed people suddenly appeared on the eaves.

Gu Zijiu's rare brows jumped.

"What, are you scared?" Gu Cheng was almost crazy with pride, he smiled while looking at Gu Zijiu very magically, "As long as I give an order, not only the people here will die, but also the library and ancestral hall of the Gu Mansion will all be burned by the fire!" ”

"The head of the family, the Gu family without the library and the ancestral hall can be regarded as soulless, right?"

Gu Zijiu frowned.

As far as she knew, the library was full of precious secret books and unique books, the value of which was naturally incalculable, as well as the ancestral hall where the heads of the family had been placed for generations...... Nature cannot be destroyed.

Gu Zijiu looked at Gu Cheng's smug smile, hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "If you have a kind, try it." ”

Seeing that Gu Zijiu was not frightened, Gu Cheng gritted his teeth.

Don't even take this threat to heart?

He looked at the calm Gu Zijiu and snorted mockingly.

I'm still young after all.

He raised his hand and clapped it defiantly.

Then, the man in black who had been staying on the eaves suddenly threw a large amount of smoke into it, and the white smoke was so thick that it was impossible to see who it was.

Gu Cheng hooked the corners of his lips, and was about to open his mouth to laugh and mock, but he quickly realized that something was wrong.

Now his people must have taken their lives while the smoke was thick, why hasn't he heard anything until now!

Gu Cheng secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw that a heavy bloody gas suddenly came from the direction of the eaves, and the originally thick white smoke gradually turned into blood red, and this blood red color was still extending, and with the sound of the heavy object falling to the ground, it completely kicked off.

Gu Cheng's eyes widened, he took two steps back, and clapped his palms again.

The distant voice did respond, but it soon turned into a frightened shout.

A long silence followed.

The smoke was dispersed by the Gu family's men at this time, Gu Zijiu stood not far from Gu Cheng, Gu Xiang, who had been active for a long time, broke Gu Cheng's hands with a smile, and directly took out his long sword and inserted it into his legs, forcing him to kneel towards Gu Zijiu.

As the smoke dissipated, Gu Cheng discovered that the black-clothed people who were supposed to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be ruthless to them were all subdued by the Gu family's subordinates, and what was reflected in front of Gu Cheng at this time was one corpse after another.

It is conceivable that those who were supposed to set fire to the library and ancestral hall must have experienced the same experience. Gu Cheng's hands and feet were abolished in an instant, and he shouted unwillingly: "Impossible! I obviously ......"

"You arranged everything and even poisoned the kitchen, didn't you?" Gu Zijiu yawned and let Gu Xiang torture Gu Cheng, "Those tricks of yours are too old-fashioned, if you use your brain a little, you can know what you want to do." ”

"Besides, you have long been notorious in the capital, if you don't want to break the kettle once, how can it be?"

Gu Cheng saw that Gu Zijiu had already counted everything, and his eyes widened in horror.

Gu Zijiu sneered, looked at Gu Cheng's terrible face under Gu Xiang's torture, raised his foot, stepped on the long sword that Gu Xiang inserted in his leg, and said, "If you provoke me, do you really think you can sit back and relax?" ”

Gu Cheng foamed at the mouth, and he was really speechless.

"Gu Xiang, take him out, I'm hungry, you go out to eat with me after you finish handling things."

"Okay."
