Hearing that King Huai had spoken, above the court, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, no matter who it was, did not speak again.

King Huai's face must be given.

In any case, the Manchu civil and military were full of awe for the Huai king.

Soon, the early dynasty ended, and the civil and military officials retreated in turn.

In the early dynasty, there were no people from the Jingtian Division and the Mingjing Division, after all, these two institutions were relatively special, and to be honest, there was no official position in the court, unless necessary, the deputy commander of the Jingtian Division and the four major supervision envoys of the Mingjing Division would not go to the court.

Among them, Dingyuan Bowu Weibo and several other nobles walked together, and their faces were very gloomy.

Because, in the battle of Xun'an County, a few of them died in their sons, how could their faces be good-looking?

After retreating, Uncle Dingyuan and several people got together, and each of them looked extremely ugly.

"Huang Xiu, this waste!" Uncle Dingyuan said angrily.

Although he has a lot of wives and concubines, he only has a son like Liang Xu, and he has high hopes for Liang Xu, just like Pingxi Hou to Cao Zhen.

Now that Liang Xu is dead, Uncle Ding Yuan feels that his life is gloomy, can the huge family property only be left to his daughter?

Wu Weibo's face is not much better, although he is not only Zhuo Zhibin one heir, but Zhuo Zhibin is his eldest son, has been cultivated for so many years, if he says no, it will be gone, how can he feel better?

The rest of the nobles were the same, and they all hated Huang Xiu very much.

For Cao Zhen, they don't think it's anything, although it was Cao Zhen who proposed this experience, but after all, even Cao Zhen himself died, what else could they blame?

What's more, behind Cao Zhen is Pingxi Hou, such a powerful Hou Ye is not something that Dingyuan Bo can afford to offend.

Even if he is the Duke of Liangguo, he can't afford to offend Pingxihou.

"When Huang Xiu comes back, I must slaughter that crumb!" Wu Weibo said hatefully.

"Huang Xiu is really a waste, he can't do anything like this, and that Chen Yu really doesn't take us seriously, and he dares to let our heirs rush to the front line!" A group of nobles began to accuse Chen Yu.

Of course, they can only say that in front of Chen Yu, they will never do this.

At this time, someone suddenly came to report, saying that Cao Zhen's guards were visiting.

Uncle Dingyuan and the others looked at each other, but they still let their subordinates bring them in.

The person who came was Cao Zhen's personal guard, Cao Ying.

After Cao Ying learned of Cao Zhen's death, he was terrified and at the same time, he immediately sent the news to Pingxi Hou, and at the same time, after learning about the relevant situation, he rushed back to Tiandu as quickly as possible, and in a fit of anger, he was ready to kill Gu Shen's family to bury Cao Zhen.

But later, Pingxi Hou's summons stopped him, and he found Dingyuan Bo and them, wanting to join forces with them to deal with Gu Shen.

"Your Excellency?" Uncle Dingyuan and the others looked at Cao Ying with a puzzled expression, they had never seen Cao Ying.

"I'm the personal guard of the little marquis." Cao Ying said with a tense face.

"I wonder what happened when Your Excellency came?" After Cao Ying showed the token to prove his identity, Ding Yuanbo asked.

"I'm here to tell you that the deaths of Little Marquis, Liang Xu, and Zhuo Zhibin are related to Gu Shen!" Cao Ying said in a deep voice.

"What?!"

Hearing this, Ding Yuanbo and Wu Weibo's faces immediately changed.

The two frowned, looked at Cao Ying, and said, "Your Excellency's words are true, don't deceive us, our heir was obviously killed by the Demon Sect martial artist, why did Your Excellency say that it was related to Gu Shen?" ”

Cao Ying said with a cold face: "Little Hou Ye, Liang Xu and Zhuo Zhibin once conspired to kill Gu Shen, and you must know about the grievances of several of them." ”

Ding Yuanbo and Wu Weibo nodded, and when they were in the Liangguo Mansion, they could see it.

"But this is not enough to show that Gu Shen killed them, right?" Ding Yuanbo frowned and asked.

The news came back very clearly, Cao Zhen, Liang Xu and Zhuo Zhibin were all killed by the Demon Sect martial artists, and many people saw it in front of everyone, which cannot be faked, after all, Huang Xiu was also present at the time.

Cao Ying said with a gloomy face: "But, do you know that they asked Gu Shen for help at that time, with Gu Shen's strength, if they were willing to save people, how could they die?" ”

Hearing this, Ding Yuanbo and Wu Weibo suddenly looked at each other, they didn't know this news, it seemed that Chen Yu deliberately concealed it.

What's more, the two of them thought about it for a while, with Gu Shen's strength, they could resist nearly a thousand martial artists of the Demon Sect, and there were only four Demon Sect martial artists at that time, how could they not save Cao Zhen and them?

"What do you mean by this, Gu Shen relied on his previous grievances, deliberately stood by and watched, and deliberately murdered my son?" Ding Yuanbo's eyes were cold.

"Yes, I was ordered by the Hou Ye to investigate the cause of the death of the little Hou Ye, I am sure that this must have something to do with Gu Shen!" Cao Ying said categorically.

There was a coldness in the eyes of Ding Yuanbo and Wu Weibo, if this was the case, then they would definitely not let go of Gu Shen.

They felt that Gu Shen's mind was too gloomy, and because of some grievances, they actually used this method to murder their heirs.

These two people didn't think about it at all, all the causes had nothing to do with Gu Shen, it was Cao Zhen and the three of them who first troubled Gu Shen, and it was they who first had murderous intent towards Gu Shen.

There was a saying that Cao Zhen and the three of them wanted to kill Gu Shen, but they were automatically ignored by Ding Yuanbo and the others.

What's more, even if that's the case, Liang Xu and Zhuo Zhibin are their sons, can they not be inclined to Gu Shen instead of their own sons?

This is obviously impossible.

At this time, a noble frowned and said: "However, King Huai and the crown prince have just decided to make Gu Shen a viscount today, and he is now famous because of the battle of Xun'an County, at this juncture, we are afraid that it is not easy to deal with him, right?" ”

"What, he was also made a viscount?!" When Cao Ying heard this, a thick jealousy flashed in his eyes.

It's all Gu Shen who caused Cao Zhen to die, and Cao Ying knows that even if he can return to the border alive, he will not be reused in this life.

Even, in the end, he couldn't escape a death, and Pingxi Hou had a great chance of making him kill himself.

Regardless of whether Cao Zhen's death was related to Gu Shen or not, Cao Ying decided so, he couldn't let Pingxihou think that it was his defense that was disadvantageous, he had to put most of the responsibility on Gu Shen, so that Pingxihou had a place to vent.

Otherwise, it was Cao Ying himself who would bear the anger of Pingxihou, and he knew Pingxihou's horror very well.

Even if he died, Cao Ying would have to pull Gu Shen as a backstop, after all, if it weren't for Gu Shen, he wouldn't have left Cao Zhen's side.

Therefore, Cao Ying blamed everything on Gu Shen's head.

When Uncle Ding Yuan and Wu Weibo heard Cao Ying's words, they were also suspicious, they had a grudge against Chen Yu and Gu Shen, but now that they are famous in Tiandu, and Gu Shen has been knighted again, they didn't say anything in the court.

Uncle Ding Yuan said with a cold face: "After this little miscellaneous is knighted, he is no longer a commoner, and his identity has become as noble as ours." ”

Wu Weibo said: "In this way, it will not be so easy to deal with him again, otherwise, we will prevent him from being knighted, and now find King Huai and the crown prince and tell them the situation?" ”

"No." Ding Yuanbo stopped Wu Weibo and said: "After all, the two of us were not at the scene, what we said is nothing, and King Huai and the crown prince have already ordered, we can't refute His Highness's face, wait until Huang Xiu comes back, I will personally ask him, if it is really that Gu Shen is not saved when he sees death, even if I don't want to fight for this title, I have to let him accompany my son to the funeral!" ”

Wu Weibo nodded, for Cao Ying's words, they believed seven points and left three points, who knows if Cao Ying wants to use them as knives.

The specific situation, as Uncle Ding Yuan said, still needs to wait for Huang Xiu to come back and inquire before making a decision.

Then they discussed the situation again for a long time.

……

Seven days later, Chen Yu's three commanders returned to Tiandu with Gu Shen and other people.

The reason why they returned to Tiandu so late was because after repelling the Demon Sect warriors, in order to prevent them from coming back, everyone repaired in the county city for a few days, and only after the army arrived with the new county guard, Chen Yufang took Gu Shen and them away.

After returning to Tiandu, the group first returned to Jingtiansi, and Chen Yu, Deng Zi'an, and Cui Yu personally reported the relevant situation to Jingtiansi and the high-level officials of the imperial court.

At the same time, they also learned that the rewards they received personally were nothing more than some silver and silk satins, and the Jingtian Division gave them corresponding merits.

As for those first-order capital envoys and second-order capital envoys, they were all the same, only Gu Shen was not mentioned.

This suddenly made everyone a little strange, Xu Qing, Song Yu and Wang Yan all looked at Chen Yu with a puzzled expression, because it was Chen Yu who announced the news to them.

"Boss, what about Gu Shen?" Song Yu asked.

Chen Yu smiled mysteriously and said to Gu Shen: "You'll know when you go home." ”

Seeing this, Gu Shen was immediately confused, but he didn't say much, he had indeed been away from home for a long time, and he couldn't say that the second uncle's family was worried during this time.

In fact, Gu Shen really didn't care much about the rewards of the imperial court, after all, for him, no matter how much money he had, it was of little use, and what he needed could be obtained through meritorious service in Jingtiansi.

"Okay, it's all gone, you've been away from home for so long, you're all homesick, right?" Chen Yu gave an order and gave them three days off completely.

Although they had been repairing in the county city for a few days, as soon as they returned to Tiandu, everyone still felt a burst of exhaustion, even Gu Shen.

Soon, everyone dispersed, and after making an appointment with Xu Qing, Song Yu and Wang Yan to find a time to drink tomorrow, Gu Shen rushed to the outer city and returned to Gu's mansion.

There is still some distance between the inner city and the outer city, and at this moment, Gu Shen once again gave birth to the idea of buying a house in the inner city, so that he doesn't have to go back and forth between the inner city and the outer city.

Back at Gu's Mansion, Uncle Zhang, the porter, was overjoyed when he saw Gu Shen, and shouted loudly: "Da Lang is back, Da Lang is back!" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the Gu Mansion rushed out, as if they knew that Gu Shen was returning home today, and even Gu Chengfeng was there.

"Da Lang, you're finally back!" Gu Chengfeng saw that Gu Shen was safe and sound, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He doesn't care what Gu Shen's strength is, as long as Gu Shen can be safe every time he goes out on a mission.

"Second uncle, aunt, Qingyan, I'm back." Seeing his relatives, a thick smile also appeared on Gu Shen's face.

The string that was tight in my heart was finally relaxed.

Everyone walked towards the courtyard, and at this time, the maid Xiaoyu suddenly asked, "Da Lang, did you really kill hundreds of thousands of Demon Sect martial artists with a sword in Xun'an County?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Shen was stunned, what is this?

Gu Qingyan was slim and elegant, her beautiful eyes were shining, she glanced at Xiaoyu and said, "What nonsense, eldest brother is obviously a sword to kill tens of thousands of Demon Sect martial artists." ”

Seeing that his cousin was the same, Gu Shen suddenly became even more confused, he was in a hurry to go home, so he didn't care about the discussions of the people of Tiandu at all, and he didn't know about this.

Gu Chengfeng looked at his daughter with a dark face, and said, "Qingyan, what are you talking about, don't believe the words of those storytellers in the restaurant, how could Da Lang kill so many people by himself, he was tired to death." ”

When Gu Qingyan heard this, she immediately stuck out her tongue, and her appearance was extremely delicate.

At this time, I only heard Gu Chengfeng say proudly: "Da Lang is obviously chasing souls with one sword, one person and one sword, and killing 10,000 enemies." ”

“？？？”

Gu Shen's face was full of question marks, he didn't know what his second uncle was talking about, why were they all so outrageous?

At this time, a sharp voice suddenly came from the gate of the Gu Mansion: "The Holy Decree has arrived!" ”

Gu Shen and the second uncle's family immediately changed their complexions, and they glanced at each other, they were a little confused, how could the holy decree come to the Gu family?

Gu Shen is from Jingtiansi, and Gu Chengfeng is the Imperial Sword Guard, no matter how you look at it, the two of them don't seem to be able to be given a holy decree.

"Let's go." At this time, Xu Qing'e pushed the two of them.

Afterwards, the Gu Mansion and the others hurried to the outside of the courtyard and saw the chief of internal affairs holding the golden holy decree, as well as the guards who followed behind them.

Seeing that the main lord had arrived, the great eunuch held the holy decree in his hand, walked slowly in front of Gu Shen's family, spread out the holy decree, and read aloud: "The second-order capital of Jingtiansi has sent Gu Shen to receive the decree. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately turned their eyes and looked at Gu Shen one after another.
