Chapter 35: Jealousy
The next day, in the main study of the family, Gu Dixuan handed over a box of demon cores from under the seven amethyst pillars to Gu Aotian. He was ruthless enough, completely deducted the essence, and only divided the "garbage" that came with him and his grandfather fifty-fifty, which made Gu Aotian's eyes widen.
Gu Aotian stroked the crystal magic cores in the box, feeling the pure elements surging around them, "Xuan'er, it seems that this time there is a great harvest, it is indeed the treasure of the Roman Dynasty, otherwise it would be impossible for so many top-grade demon cores to appear." ”
Although he despised his grandfather's greedy expression at this time and secretly scolded him for not being knowledgeable, Gu Dixuan still laughed and said: "Yes, the Roman Dynasty is worthy of being the first empire on the mainland, and any treasure is so amazing." ”
Gu Aotian put away his gaze staring at the demon core and sighed slightly, "It's just that the loss of a Dou King-level master for these demon core families is still a loss, and the Xi Luo Shimu Forest is indeed not a good place." ”
Gu Dixuan was a little surprised, "Grandpa, these are the best demon cores, and the wealth contained in them can probably buy half of the family." If these magic cores are made into weapons or staffs, their value will be even more amazing, how can they not be compared to a Dou King-level master?"
Gu Aotian's eyes widened, "What do you know, do you know how long and how much energy it takes for a family to cultivate a Dou King-level master, and how much financial resources it takes? What is even more difficult is loyalty to the family, which cannot be bought by wealth." At the level of the king of fighting, people's hearts have already been sublimated to a very high level, and they like to do things as they want, and it is difficult to be loyal to individuals or families. ”
Gu Aotian sat down in the chair next to him, his eyes were a little confused, "It's just strange, Yuntian doesn't seem to be particularly sad about Ali's death. They have been in a team since they were children, how many years of friendship, how many times they have been born and died, which is a bit abnormal. ”
Gu Dixuan heard his grandfather's self-talk, and smiled bitterly in his heart, "Puppets are puppets, although they have independent wisdom, but compared to Dao slaves and Dao servants, they lack the most important thing, which is spirituality. ”
While Gu Dixuan and his grandfather were sharing the spoils, in the palace of the Great Emperor Yu, in the luxurious living room. Gu Wuming is drinking stuffy wine.
Yu Wenwen turned his wine glass, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone, "Without me, your brother has really found the treasure of the Roman Dynasty?"
Gu Wuming swallowed the wine in the cup in one gulp, "I don't know what luck the kid had, he was able to cross the Xiluo Shimu Forest and really find treasures." ”
Yu Wenwen's words were pointed, "This time, Lord Duke and your mother must value your youngest brother even more. ”
Gu Wuming snorted, "What's the use of Grandpa Guang and his mother spoiling him, the Elder Pavilion is very dissatisfied with him." ”
"Oh, is it?" Yu Wen became a little interested.
Gu Nameless said hatefully: "The most dissatisfied thing about the Elder Pavilion is that he keeps his cultivation method secret, he thinks that he is very smart and can hide it from everyone. I don't want to think about how long it has been since I followed him and the four orcs to improve their strength so quickly, did he think that the people in the Elder Pavilion were all blind? I don't know what method he used, this is incredible. ”
Raising his hand and putting another glass of wine into his stomach, "This time it's okay, tossing a Dou King-level master in the Elder Pavilion to death, and getting back some demon cores, the Elder Pavilion is even more dissatisfied with him." The most hateful thing is that he refuses to disclose his cultivation method, otherwise my 'Ancient Fighting Qi' may break through to the sixth layer. ”
Luodes, who was standing next to Yu Wenwen, smiled, "Nameless Commander, you don't have to be arrogant. Your brother's secrecy of his cultivation is a blessing rather than a curse for you. ”
Gu Wuming raised his head and glanced at the cronies beside the eldest prince, "Oh, what do you mean by Lord Earl?"
"Nameless Commander, you think, the reason why Gu Dixuan is favored by the Duke and your mother now is completely by emotion. And emotion is the most unreliable thing in this world, and the position of the head of the ancient family cannot be ascended by virtue of emotion. ”
Gu Wuming, who was a little interested, said: "Go on." ”
Luodes smiled slightly and continued: "Let's come to see you again, you have cultivated the 'Ancient Fighting Qi' to the fifth layer at such a young age, and you have made outstanding achievements in the army for three years, and now you are the commander of the palace guard. These are real feats, unmatched by your brother's half-grown son. But if he hands over any special cultivation method that the whole family can benefit from, then is your merit still comparable to his? Therefore, he is hiding a blessing rather than a curse for you. ”
Gu Wuming's eyes lit up, and he got up and bowed to the two, "Thank you for your highness's good wine and Lord Luodes's explanation, my heart is much more comfortable now." I still have some official business to deal with, so I will leave first. ”
Yu Wenwen patted Sikong Wume on the shoulder, "Nameless, if you have any worries in the future, just come to me." This king has nothing else, and the wine is absolutely enough. ”
Looking at the back of Gu Wuming who walked out of the mansion, Yu Wen said: "Luodes, what do you think of Gu Wuming?"
Rodes showed a look of disdain, "Too jealous, too attached to the position of the head of the family. I am afraid that it will become a scourge to their family. ”
Yu Wenwen laughed "haha", "If he is not jealous, how can I win such an important figure as the Gu family." ”
Rodes nodded in agreement, "The Gu family has always been monolithic, and no one has ever been able to break into its family, although they now support His Highness, it would be more reassuring to have such a person." ”
Yu Wenwen looked at the palace from afar, "It seems that we need to help him, it would be more perfect if he could ascend to the position of head of the family soon." ”
Luodes thought for a moment, "Gu Tianji has been his eldest brother's follower since he was a child, and his relationship is very good, although he is a genius, he is also a person who is swayed by emotions. The most incomprehensible thing is the ancient emperor Xuan, the Roman treasure is only some superb magic cores, which is simply impossible. Either the treasure is fake at all, and the demon core is just the face given to by the Gu family, or this treasure is huge and amazing. ”
A gleam flashed in Yu Wenwen's eyes, "Then let's clear this obstacle for Gu Wuming first, and see what treasures and artifacts he brought out from his self-study in the Luo Shimu Forest?"
Rodes touched his three-inch-long beard, "Your Highness, what do you think, what do you hate the Duke of......?"
"It's a good way, it's just how to get Gu Emperor Xuan into the trap, he has rarely gone out of the mansion in the past few years, and his age is okay?"
Fallers smiled weirdly, "If you don't try, how do you know?" If there is someone around him who can be used by us now, it must be Gu Yue." ”
Yu Wenwen was very satisfied with Luodes's analysis, and laughed: "Okay, then let's carefully arrange a little program for Lord Aotian to see." Now let's go and meet the secret messenger of the Saxon Empire, who has been hanging for a few days, and see what good news he will bring us. ”
