Chapter 41: The helplessness of the head of the family

The direct members of the Desolate Ancient Clan, unless they sneak out of the mansion, they will inevitably have overt or covert guards around them, as the first family of the empire, the Gu family has a perfect bodyguard system, which is not inferior to the royal family in the slightest.

Gu Dixuan's four palanquin men killed people in the street, scaring the guards of the ancient mansion hidden in the shadows, and the battle was so fast that they didn't even have time to react, and the battle was over. Although they greatly despised the Xie family's seventh-level fighting spirits and magic wizards in their hearts, they still had to quickly notify the head of the family in order to take action, after all, they killed people in the streets of the imperial capital, and the only heir of the Xie family also fell in a pool of blood.

Ancient mansion, the study of the head of the house. Gu Aotian quietly listened to the guard's report, and after a while, the guard told the whole story, Gu Aotian pinched the bridge of his nose and waved the guard out.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Gu Aotian said to Mr. Zhuge next to him: "How do you think this matter is handled, is it a coincidence?"

Mr. Zhuge also felt a deep headache, the relationship between the two of them had just improved, and there was such a tricky thing, why didn't he find out before, the ancient emperor Xuan's ability to cause trouble was so strong. "The head of the family, it seems that the only way to send someone to find the fourth young master quickly is to get it back, as long as the person is in the ancient mansion, then even the emperor will not dare to forcibly arrest people. ”

Gu Aotian smiled bitterly, "I'm sure that at this time, Xuan'er is already in his other courtyard. This matter itself is not difficult to do, that is, Xie Tianhong told His Majesty the Imperial Palace, what can he do with the Gu family? It's just that this matter makes me a little worried, Xuan'er has grown up slowly, can some things still be tolerated and accommodated?"

Mr. Zhuge thoughtfully, "Family Master, you mean ......?"

Gu Aotian took out a mold that looked like it was made of mud from the mahogany partition behind him, and handed it to Mr. Zhuge beside him, "Look at this, you will know what I am worried about." ”

"Magic Transformation" Mr. Zhuge flashed the incident of the blood thief group in his heart, there were two clear footprints on the mold in his hand, and after observing it carefully for a moment, he exclaimed, "This is ......"

Gu Aotian smiled bitterly, "This magic transformation was sent to me before Xuan'er went to Xi Luo Shimu Forest. All the services of the ancient family are custom-made, although there are many styles and patterns, but there is always a detail that represents the identity of the master. At that time, when I saw the unique sole pattern of Xuan'er on this complex, I really thought I was dazzled. ”

Mr. Zhuge put the mold in his hand on the table, and also said with a wry smile: "I said how can the family master rest assured that the fourth young master will go to Xi Luo Shimu Forest alone, for those who can kill the fifty blood thieves in a short time, they do have the qualifications to go to Xi Luo Shi Forest." ”

A trace of deep worry flashed in Gu Aotian's eyes, "You personally went to the scene to examine the bodies of those thieves, do you think that is a child's method?"

"Ruthless, decisive, and seems to be a little cas......ual," Mr. Zhuge said more and more to his disbelief, this is a child's method.

Gu Aotian, who was a little tired in his heart, slumped in his chair, "A few days ago, Nameless passed the test of the Elder Pavilion, and now the seven elders of the Elder Pavilion fully support him, but I don't know about this matter, and it is impossible for the Elder Pavilion and I to tell him." ”

Mr. Zhuge understood the meaning of Gu Aotian's words, and after thinking about it for a while, "The only way to avoid a possible brotherly fight is to let the fourth young master fade out of people's sight first." However, I am afraid that this will hurt the heart of the fourth young master, and I think that the fourth young master is more suitable to take over the position of the head of the family than the eldest young master. ”

Gu Aotian closed his eyes, and his voice was full of exhaustion, "Being born in a big family is not necessarily happy, and it is not up to me to decide who will be the head of the family. What I can do is to avoid family tragedies as much as possible, and the power of one hand may not be able to make a sound, but if both hands have strength, the sound will definitely be earth-shattering. ”

Mr. Zhuge let out a deep sigh in his heart, looked at Gu Aotian, who seemed to be much older in front of him, and comforted: "Maybe after the fourth young master disappears for a while, things will pass." ”

At this time, Wang Jun entered the study and said to Gu Aotian: "Family master, Kanak is here, waiting outside." Gu Aotian and Mr. Zhuge glanced at each other, and had the same idea in their hearts, but was it really appropriate to do this?

"Go, call Karnak in. ”

Karnak entered the study, and after saluting Gu Aotian, his tone was a little embarrassed, "The head of the family, Duke Xie Tianhong went to the city defense to report the case, claiming that the fourth young master beat his son to cripple, and he didn't know where to get the golden arrow, I don't dare to slack off, so I came to ask the family master." ”

"It seems that this old thing is really in a hurry, the imperial golden arrow was given to him by the emperor to the Xie family, and it can only be used three times. The majesty of the golden arrow is that His Majesty does not dare to blaspheme, it seems that this is the will of heaven. Gu Aotian seemed to have made a decision in his heart.

Mr. Zhuge didn't know why, he suddenly felt very inappropriate, and people who had reached his realm could have a slight perception of the future in the underworld, "Family Master, you have to think twice about this." ”

Gu Aotian hesitated slightly after listening to Mr. Zhuge 's words, and said categorically to Karnak: "You can go and take Xuan'er back, and all interrogations will be carried out according to normal procedures." ”

"Mr. Zhuge , Anna will trouble you to go there, don't let her mess around. Gu Aotian explained to Mr. Zhuge .

Mr. Zhuge knew that things had no turning point, and went out with a sigh in his heart.

A team of city guards surrounded the Ancient Emperor Xuanbei Courtyard, and the city guards dared to be so presumptuous in the Gu family, this was the first time in history, and the people in the palace had obviously been notified, and looked at these soldiers coldly.

This team of city guards wiped their cold sweat and scolded in their hearts, "Damn, let Lao Tzu come to Gujiafu to arrest people." These officials are asking for the lives of Lao Tzu, and I don't know how the Gu family will rectify us if they miss it today. ”

These soldiers were afraid of the power of the Gu family, and the people of the Gu family on the side were notified and let the city guards arrest them. The result was a strange scene, with the arresting city guards shuddering and quietly moving forward, for fear of accidentally lighting some explosives.

Kanak said to the ancient emperor Xuan, who was already standing in front of the courtyard: "Fourth young master, the lower official has been ordered to ask you to go to the city defense mansion to investigate the case. ”

Gu Dixuan's eyes were calm and frightened, and he smiled coldly, "Lord Commander, investigate the case, don't need to investigate, I did it, you are here to arrest me." ”

Kanak didn't know why, facing the underage boy in front of him, his heart always trembled a little, "Fourth young master, the lower official is also acting on orders, please cooperate more." ”

"Tell me, let me cooperate with you. ”

"As long as you and the retinue who hurt people at the time, follow me to the city defense residence. ”

"How can you arrest people in the Gujia Mansion, who let you in. Cher's voice was a little anxious and annoyed coming from the courtyard.

Gu Dixuan pulled Xue'er who walked out to his side, and whispered in her little ear: "Xue'er, in the future, I will let the four orcs follow you, this time you may not see each other for a long time, you have to know how to take care of yourself, understand?"

In Xue'er's impression, with the power of the Gu family, there was nothing unfair in the emperor, but after listening to what the Gu Emperor Xuan said, he realized that things did not seem to be as optimistic as he imagined, and he was a little worried, "Young master, I will go and inform the family master and let him come and talk to these soldiers." ”

Gu Dixuan grabbed Xue'er, who was getting more and more walking, "Xue'er, be obedient, go back to the house, find the Styx if there is something." How can these city defenders get here without Grandpa's consent?"

"Away from hate, come with me. After Gu Dixuan finished speaking, he ignored Kanak who was on the side and walked forward.

Kanak saw that the ancient emperor Xuanken was willing to go back with him, so he still had the kung fu to investigate the orcs who really hurt people instead of leaving the hatred, if the ancient emperor Xuanzhen wanted to die and not leave, he really didn't dare to use strength in the Gu family's mansion.

Xue'er watched Gu Dixuan walk into the distance with tears in her eyes, and she seemed to feel that this time things didn't seem to be so simple.

The mood of this team of city guards when they left was completely different from the mood they felt when they entered the Gujia Mansion. In the Tiandu Empire, which team would dare to be so presumptuous in the Gu family? No matter what happens in the future, but being able to capture important personnel from the Gu family at this time has satisfied the vanity of these ordinary soldiers like never before. Gu Aotian didn't expect that such a simple arrest incident would have a far-reaching impact on the Desolate Ancient Ancient Clan, and the high-ranking First Family made people feel as if they were unattainable as they imagined.
