Chapter 17: Tension
On the tenth day, the lord of the kingdom Gref stayed awake all night, and the last moment finally came, and he had to stand up and face all that was possible.
"Report-" The guards on duty rushed to report, "Lord of the Kingdom, soldiers and horses have been found stationed around the palace! The four marquis families of Longxiang, Huyi, Xuanwu, and Vermilion Bird have sent troops to besiege the palace!"
"What!" Greif was taken aback, "is this a mutiny?"
"Impossible, things haven't reached the last step yet, and the Gu family won't be desperate. The Xiangwu family and the Gu family have always been at odds, and it is impossible to help the Gu family. "Gref is the lord of the country in the end, quickly calm down and analyze the situation, "It is even more impossible for the Baili family and the You family to use swords at this time. ”
"What's the move of the Royal Guardian Corps?" asked Greve.
"Return to the country, the strength of the outer city wall has been tripled, and it can be attacked at any time to suppress the rebellion, and all the palace guards are on duty, ready to fight!"
"Very good!" Gref said with a little relief, and said to himself: Before they can go out of the teleportation circle, they must stabilize the situation. After that, you can only act on the opportunity, even as the head of the country, there are some things that you can't do yourself.
"Is there any movement over there?" asked Greif.
"Not yet. The guard replied.
"Back to your post, I don't need you here. Gref waved his hand, took the guard, and sat there thinking to himself: it is necessary to summon the four princes into the palace, and if anything happens, he can use their power at any time.
Gref immediately sent heralds out of the palace. As soon as he finished the order, he saw the fifth prince Jerry running over with an unhappy face.
"Father, the child was going out to play, but he was stopped by the guards before he left the palace!"
Gref waved his hand irritably, "There is a big event in the palace today, first-level alert." It's useless for you to go out of the palace, and it's heavily guarded outside. ”
"However, my father had already agreed to go out of the palace to play today!" Jerry did not give up.
"It's not that my father broke his promise this time, if you want to blame, you can blame the Gu family. Speaking of which, he is all responsible for this!"
Gref was impatient to explain to Jerry, and sent him away with a word, asking the palace people to take him back.
Outside the Teleportation Array Palace, the five major families all came. The Gu family's lineup is the most prosperous, not only Gu Xiuliang and his wife are here, but the three bigwigs are also there, scanning the scene with cold eyes.
"What day is today?" said Gref, a little angrily, "do you want to rebel by sending troops to surround the palace without saying hello?"
Gu Xiuliang was the first to stand up, "Lord, today is the day when the child is out of the customs, and our family just wants to make the scene more grand." ”
Xiangwu Taiyi immediately said: "My family is worried that the Gu family will not be willing to hand over the mental method when the time comes, so they will resist with all their strength. That's why troops were sent to strengthen the momentum of the Council of Elders. ”
Baili Zhaole said: "Who doesn't know that the Gu family and the Xiangwu family have a disagreement, in order to deter the two families and prevent them from misfire, my family specially sent troops to help the lord of the country." ”
You Hui was even more desperate, and said with a smile: "They all sent troops, if I don't make any moves, wouldn't I be too unsure of the lord of the country in my eyes, and I don't know how to share my worries for the lord of the country." Therefore, my family will also send troops. ”
Gref was almost angry, "What a loyal and patriotic face! If you do this, not only will the people in the city be afraid to shut up, but even the normal activities of the palace will be greatly affected." If the ancestors are alarmed again, I will say that someone has rebelled! When the time comes, don't blame me, the head of the country, for anyone who is unlucky. ”
Xiangwu Taiyi said with pity: "Whoever resists the resolution of the Council of Elders is a rebel." What a simple truth! I raise my hands in approval. ”
Gu Xiuliang glanced at Xiangwu Taiyi and said lightly: "Xiao'er hasn't been out of the customs yet, you are arranging charges for my family now, are you too anxious." ”
Xiangwu Taiyi pointed to the three bigwigs one by one, "They were supposed to be in charge of the border pass, how did they appear here? ”
Before Gu Xiuliang could speak, Gu Yangxin said coldly: "Our three brothers came here for the Gu family's family affairs, and not to worry about others. ”
Xiang Wutai relied on the strength of the crowd and said boldly: "Don't say it so nicely." If Gu Tiancheng doesn't complete the task, what will your Gu family do?
Gu Yangxin sneered and slowly glanced around, everyone looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
"If it can't be done, I will take his life here and send it to the lord of the country to make amends. ”
"You dare!" As soon as the words fell, a female voice sounded sharply. Of course, it was Luo Gulan who was speaking out against it.
Gu Yangxin looked at Luo Gulan and said, "You have to think clearly, this is the palace, and your flames can't scare people." ”
Of course, Luo Gulan would not show weakness, "Just by virtue of your three soul ranks, are you his grandfather's opponent?"
Gu Yang smiled and said, "If we really want to fight, the three of us join forces, and we are indeed not the opponent of the boss." But don't forget, our opponent is not the boss, but your waste son! If you want to kill a natural waste soul in three soul ranks, I'm afraid that a sword saint can't stop it. ”
"If it's a sneak attack, you might have a chance. Luo Gulan was also sneering, "Now that I already know that you are going to be unfavorable to my son, I will not sit idly by." ”
After speaking, Luo Gulan took out the magic whistle and was about to blow it. Seeing this, Gref hurriedly shouted: "Wait!"
Just kidding! Can Luo Gulan's magic whistle be blown casually? As soon as the whistle sounds, the Gu family's guards will break into the palace without hesitation. The duty of the palace guards is to fight to the death, and a big war will break out!
"Mrs. Gu, this is the palace, my territory. Either way, I guarantee your son's safety. Gref hurriedly assured Luo Gulan that she would not go on a rampage and make any crazy moves.
Gu Yangxin squinted at Gref, "Lord of the country, are you sure you want to interfere in my family's housework?"
Gref took a deep breath, "Out of the palace, whatever you want." But here, please give me some face. ”
"As long as you don't want the heart method immediately, of course we are not in a hurry to ask for Gu Tiancheng's life. Gu Yangxin retreated.
Gref breathed a sigh of relief, he hadn't spoken yet, and Xiangwu Tai was not afraid of a big deal when he saw the excitement, "The three of us have worked hard to send troops to maintain the authority of the Elders' resolution. When will the Presbyterian resolution be able to bargain?"
Gu Yangxin's eyes shrank, and the essence burst out, just one glance, Xiangwu Taiyi was like being covered in ice water, and he couldn't help but shiver, and retreated again and again.
"Execute it immediately, right? It's okay, it's just the end of the business and private affairs. Whoever of you has the ability, just stand in the way. - I'll see who can stop it!"
There is no room for maneuver now, it is impossible for the Gu family to make concessions, and the resolution of the Council of Elders must be respected. Gref glanced at the chief of the guard and told him to quickly transfer someone over.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
