Gu Chunyuan snorted coldly, and his gaze fell on Shangguan Xiu's face for a long time, and then he turned his gaze and said to Gu Qingling and Gu Qingfang: "Qingling Qingfang, you two go back to the room first, if you have some words, you have to talk to Lord Shangguan alone for your father."

"Daddy......" Gu Qingling was about to speak, Gu Chunyuan slapped the table suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you hear the words of your father?"

Gu Qingling and Gu Qingfang's bodies were shocked, seeing that their father's face was ugly, they didn't dare to go against his will again, the second daughter walked out of the hall step by step, and the eyes that Gu Qingling cast at Shangguan Xiu were full of concern and worry, as well as guilt.

After the second daughter left, Gu Chunyuan's tense expression eased a little, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and said: "Lord Shangguan, the marriage between Qingling and Jing Gongzi is a foregone conclusion, and it will not be canceled no matter what, and please don't come to entangle Qingling in the future." As for the mutual affection, it only applies to ordinary people, and a family with a big business like the Gu family, a far-sighted marriage is better than everything. ”

Gu Chunyuan finally revealed his true heart. Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "I know that the reason why Mr. Gu is in a hurry to promote the marriage with the Jing family is just to let the Gu family's business have better development prospects in Anjun, but the Gu family's business has already done a lot in Anjun, and it is not easy to further grow bigger. ”

"Zhenjun?" Gu Chunyuan looked up and smiled, and asked rhetorically: "What does Zhenjun have? Except for barrenness, backwardness and barbarism, Zhenjun has nothing!"

Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and his fists clenched consciously.

Gu Chunyuan didn't care about his reaction at all, and continued: "What's more, how can you guarantee that your power in Zhenjun will last for a long time? Lord Shangguan, don't forget, you only have the title of battalion captain on your head, the so-called commander of the Zhenjun army, which has not yet been recognized by the imperial court. When the court needs you, it can tolerate your existence, and when the court no longer needs you one day, it can deprive you of everything you have now with just one word, isn't it?"

This is the truth, Gu Chunyuan has seen things very thoroughly. Shangguan Xiu's clenched fist slowly loosened, the corners of his mouth rose, and he said with a deep gaze: "I will do my best to make that day never appear." ”

Gu Chunyuan waved his hand and said meaningfully: "Compared with the imperial court, you and I are just a drop in the ocean, and there are very few things that can really be decided by ourselves, and most of the things are not controlled by our own will." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled indifferently, sighed softly, and continued: "Lord Shangguan, I am not an unkind father, if you can sit in my position one day, you will be able to understand everything I have done. By marrying with the Jing family, the Gu family will immediately get tangible benefits, and the interests of the Gu family in Anjun can be further protected and consolidated, and if they repent of marrying to the Jing family, the Gu family's business in Anjun will immediately become difficult to move an inch. Only when the Gu family is here, Qingling will be happy, if the Gu family is gone, what happiness can Qingling have? Qingling's happiness, Lord Shangguan can't give it, just relying on the sentence of mutual affection, obsessed, entangled, is misleading others and misunderstanding himself, so please let Shangguan let go. ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded and said: "Maybe from the position of the Gu family, Mr. Gu's words are very reasonable, but I will not give up, it is mine, I will definitely fight for it, even if it is a fight for a head and bloodshed, I will not care." As for whether I can give Qingling happiness, this is not something that Mr. Gu can say, but it depends on my own efforts. Speaking of this, Shangguan Xiu stood up, put on his entire body, and said conclusively: "The marriage between Qingling and Jinghong can't be done, as long as Qingling's heart is still on me." That's it, Mr. Gu, I'm saying goodbye!" After speaking, he turned around and walked out.

"Wait!" Gu Chunyuan stopped Shangguan Xiu with an ugly face, and said word by word: "The old man reminds Lord Shangguan again, on the day of the engagement, His Majesty will come to my Gu Mansion in person, if Lord Shangguan wants to make a hindrance at the wedding banquet, I am afraid that you will not be able to pass the pass of His Majesty's level......"

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu had already laughed on his back, and before his laughter had dissipated, the person had already floated into the courtyard outside the hall, and after another shake, the person had disappeared. Gu Chunyuan looked at the empty courtyard outside, his face was solemn, and his brows were tightly locked.

He is not afraid that Shangguan Xiu will be able to play any tricks at the wedding banquet, after all, with His Majesty present, even if Shangguan Xiu is bold, he will be somewhat restrained, he is worried that once Shangguan Xiu comes to make trouble during the wedding banquet, it will not only make the Gu family lose face, but also make the Gu family a laughing stock after dinner.

Let's talk about Shangguan Xiu, after he left the Gu Mansion, he bought a rare set of new clothes in a ready-to-wear store, found an inn to live in, freshened up, changed into new clothes, came out of the inn, and went to the palace in Yuzhen City. Tang Ling is now living in the Imperial Palace.

Halfway through, Shangguan Xiu saw a fan seller on the side of the road, so he bought another folding fan. Now Shangguan Xiu is wearing a white brocade robe, holding a folding fan, with a graceful demeanor, both elegant and delicate on his body, and strong masculinity, especially the silver hair on his temples, which makes him feel a little more elegant, walking on the street, passers-by can't help but look at him twice.

Shangguan Xiu came to the front of the palace, looking at the Praetorian Guards standing like a forest at the gate of the palace, he secretly wondered whether he wanted to see Tang Ling.

After seeing Tang Ling, what should I say to her. Tell her bluntly not to attend the engagement banquet of the Jinggu family, because the assassins of Ning Nannan are likely to mix in with the guests of the banquet?

I'm afraid that if I say this, Tang Ling may not believe it, after all, he doesn't have any real evidence in his hands, and everything is his own speculation.

He sighed softly and stood in front of the gate of the palace, wandering back and forth, considering whether he wanted to see Tang Ling or not.

Just as Shangguan Xiu was hesitating, two Praetorian Guards strode towards him, and at the same time shouted and asked, "Who are you, why are you sneaking around outside the palace?"

Shangguan Xiu looked at the two Praetorian Guards, smiled indifferently, and said, "I'm just passing by." ”

"Passing by, I think you're planning something wrong!" a Praetorian Guard sneered, looking at him with a cold gaze.

Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly, snorted, opened his folding fan, and with a slight shake, the person had already floated back a few meters away, and said: "Don't misunderstand, you two are indeed passing by, say goodbye." With that, he shook the fan again, and the man floated a few meters away, only a few swayed, and the other person disappeared from the sight of the Praetorian Guard.

The two Praetorian Guards stared blankly at the direction in which Shangguan Xiu disappeared, both of them didn't quite believe their eyes, whether the other party was a human or a ghost, looking at him walking, it didn't look like he was walking, it was more like he was floating.

The two glanced at each other, shook their heads in unison, and with doubts in their hearts, they both retreated to their respective posts.

Shangguan Xiu pondered again and again, and finally gave up the idea of asking to see Tang Ling.

To make a long story short, two days later, it was a big day for the Gu family and the Jing family to get married. According to the tradition of the Wind Country, the engagement ceremony is held at the woman's house, and the marriage ceremony is held at the man's house.

The family affairs of the Jing Gu family is a big deal in Yuzhen, the lord of the Jing family is the county guard of Anjun, and the lord of the Gu family is the leading wealthy businessman in Anjun, one has the right and the other has money, this marriage is a typical combination of power and money.

In Yuzhen, and even in the entire Anjun, people with heads and faces came to attend the wedding banquet, especially Tang Ling's personal attendance, which gave the two families enough face and made the engagement banquet ceremony more grand.

Since the morning, the Gu Mansion is full of lights, the traffic in front of the door, and the guests are like clouds.

Shangguan Xiu mingled among the guests and entered the Gu Mansion. The vestibule of the Gu Mansion had been turned into a banquet hall, full of tables and chairs, and Shangguan Xiu chose the most inconspicuous corner and found a place to sit.

By midnight, the Gu Mansion was already overcrowded, with thousands of men and women in the guests, and the congratulatory gifts sent by the guests alone filled the three or four rooms of the Gu Mansion.

After a while, a large number of Praetorian Guards poured in outside the gate of the Gu Mansion, and the Janissaries stood in two rows in the vestibule, isolating the guests present, and then, from the outside, a general with a golden helmet and golden armor walked in, this person was burly and tall, holding a ribbed sword, after entering the Gu Mansion, his face sank like water, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked around.

Seeing this Jinjia general, Gu Chunyuan and Jingping, who were sitting in the hall, hurriedly greeted him, and when the Jinjia general approached, the two of them bowed their hands and said with a smile on their faces: "General Zuo is coming, there is a loss of welcome, disrespect and disrespect!"

Jingping is Jinghong's father, the county guard of Anjun. He is the same age as Gu Chunyuan, but his appearance is really flattering, he was born with a roe deer, short and thin, and when he speaks, his eyes are rolling around, and his gaze is erratic.

This Jinjia general is the leader of the Praetorian Guard, named Zuotu, and is Tang Ling's confidant. This time, Tang Ling was able to escape back to the Wind Country from Ningnan, thanks to the escort of Zuo Tu's birth and death.

The left picture had a sharp gaze, swept over Jing Ping and Gu Chunyuan, and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Gu, Lord Jing, don't be polite. Today, there are a lot of guests from the Gu Mansion!" As he spoke, the left figure squinted his eyes and scanned the surroundings.

Gu Chunyuan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty's personal visit has made the Gu Mansion shine, officials and squires from near and far, who doesn't want to see Your Majesty's demeanor, it is reasonable for guests to gather today." ”

Zuotu glanced at him and asked, "Have the identities of the guests been carefully screened?"

General Zuo rest assured, the villain has already asked the family members in the mansion to check one by one. ”

"Well, it's better to be fine, otherwise, everyone here won't be able to eat and walk around!" After speaking, Zuo Tu threw off his robe, turned around and walked out.
