Volume 2 The Puppet Son of Heaven Chapter 99 Guo Dashao (II)
Sun Ning had really turned to this issue before, but he didn't study it deeply.
But now, at last, something has been smacked.
Yes, why did Guo Chong pretend to be like this?
In order to hide the clumsy Tao?
Is it necessary?
It's not a royal family where fathers, sons and brothers can kill each other for the sake of power, for the Guo family, if one of his eldest sons is outstanding, it's a good thing, why bother?
Guo Yan doesn't look like such a jealous and jealous character, and he can't even tolerate his son's excellence. Otherwise, Guo Han would not have the achievements and status he has today.
After thinking about it for a while, there was still no definite answer, Sun Ning could only ask the other party: "Why are you doing this?" But is there any unavoidable suffering? β
Guo Chong smiled bitterly: "I have three out of twenty this year, and if I think about it carefully, I have been pretending to be like this for six or seven years." Honestly, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have been going to be a lifetime of shit......
"And that's why I did it because of an accident back then, because I discovered a secret about my father!"
Sun Ning raised his eyebrows, is this still an old-fashioned family conflict?
However, he knew what a good listener should do, so he did not say anything at this time, and continued to listen silently.
Guo Chong seemed to have fallen into memory, and paused for half a cup of tea before speaking again:
"I remember it was a winter night, and I went out hunting with a few friends, because I had gone far to track a prey, and I came back a little late, and I didn't return home until after the second watch.
"I thought that when I came back, my father would be angry and rectify me, and my mother would definitely nag and complain, so I sneaked into the backyard.
As a result, when I passed by my father's study, I saw an amazing scene that I will never forgetβmy father, he was actually kneeling at the feet of a fellow, looking obedient and frightened, and my mother fell to the ground, covered with blood.
"She was stabbed to death by my father's sword, because it was dripping with blood......
Although many years have passed, Guo Chong can still clearly recall the impactful scene at that time, making him feel as if he was back at the scene of the incident again.
This made his voice a little quiet and hollow: "Then I heard my father kowtowing, kowtowing, and said, 'The villain knows that he is wrong, and please forgive me.'" I have already killed this ignorant woman, and please spare my family and let me go of the people of Liangzhou......
"I saw his frightened and humble appearance to the extreme, and even made me wonder if this man was the father I was familiar with.
"The father I am familiar with is a powerful man in his hands, the majestic Liangzhou is too guarded, even if someone comes to the court, he can deal with it calmly, when did he behave so humble? Not to mention giving my mother to ...... because of them Killed......
"I'm full of questions, and I'm even going to rush in at once to ask for an explanation, and I want to use my sword to slaughter that guy who looks like an ordinary businessman!
"But no sooner had I stepped forward than a force took me under control, and I was pushed into the house.
"At this time, my father suddenly let out a miserable howl: 'Please spare my son, he doesn't know anything, and he won't spread anything......
"When I heard this, I felt a blow to the back of the head, and I fainted......"
No matter how calm Sun Ning was, he was also moved at this time, because this matter sounded too weird.
Guo Yanna is a real feudal official in the Dayue Dynasty, not only has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, but also has a deep foundation in Liangzhou, how can he be so humble to an existence other than a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and even kill his wife in order to protect himself?
If it weren't for what Guo Chong said, he would never have believed it.
"Incredible, right? I thought it was so false that when I woke up again, I thought it was a nightmare.
As a result, when I woke up, I heard my father whispering beside me, of course, he didn't say it to me, he should be self-explanatory.
"He said: 'Chong'er, don't blame Dad, Dad has no choice but to do this. Those people are not what we can fight against at all, my Guo family is looking at the scenery in Liangzhou, but in fact, they are just a puppet with a string. Everything we have is given by others, and they can take it back at any time, including our lives! β
He also mentioned that my mother had to die because she did something wrong and killed an eyeliner they had planted in the house. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have been the only one to die......
He then babbled on something else before leaving. It was only then that I was convinced that what I had seen last night and what I had heard the next day was real, not a nightmare.
"And I know more about the fact that our life and death have always been manipulated by those guys, my dad is a puppet, so am I, and all of us are......
"What shocked me even more was that after that, my father actually announced that my mother suddenly fell ill and died, and he didn't dare to let people know the truth about it......
"Since even my father is afraid of them, what am I worth?
So in order to save my life, in order to prevent those people from really finding me, I could only choose to hide my true emotions. I even pretended to have amnesia, having no memory of what happened that night, and had no objection to what they said that my mother had died of a sudden illness.
After that, he took the opportunity to get sick first, and then his personality changed greatly, and he became the Guo Dashao who was not angry, only knew how to indulge in wine, and didn't want to care about anything.
And this outfit is seven or eight years, until today. If it weren't for your constant design and persecution, I'm afraid I would have pretended to be for the rest of my life. As you said, if you keep your waste for a long time, you really think you're a waste! β
It wasn't until he finished saying everything that Sun Ning let out a long breath: "So, until today, you don't know who those people who manipulate everything behind their backs?" β
Guo Chong nodded and smiled bitterly: "I've even begun to wonder if this is a scene I imagined myself." It was because of my mother's death that I had a conjecture that I felt that there was some terrible force behind her that killed her......
"Anyway, in the past few years, I haven't been aware of the existence of other forces, and my father is in Liangzhou, and he has always said that there is no other. Only by remembering what I heard when I woke up that day can I confirm that it is true! β
Speaking of this, Guo Chong's eyes became sharp again: "So Your Majesty, if you really want to take Liangzhou, you have to deal with not only my father and them, but also more terrible opponents behind you." Do you really want to take a chance? Once you fail, it's hard to say. β
Sun Ning looked back at him and suddenly grinned: "I'm not Guo Yan, for me, as long as there is a chance, it's worth a try." What's more, this time the certainty is more than fifty percent! β
