"Brother, we can't go on like this. "Gu Mansion, Gu Xiangrong is discussing the future of their family in Gu Haoran's study, the oppression of the little king is getting heavier and heavier, and if it continues to be passive like this, it is not just as simple as losing power and power, their Gu family may be completely eradicated.

"What are you going to do?" General Gu Haoran took a sip of tea and glanced at his younger brother, while Zhao Muyun redistributed the power, the proportion of Dengyun's people in the court was getting heavier and heavier, the marriage between the king and the Dengyu Kingdom a few years ago, the three princes and the king had completely formed an alliance, and the three princes had become one of the most powerful contenders in the Dengyu Kingdom, but the ambitions of the three princes seemed to be more than that.

"Locke has not been at war for many years, and the rights of the generals have been greatly reduced, but once the war resumes, won't the king and the people rely on you as the protector general? Gu Xiangrong lowered his voice and discussed with his brother the feasibility of this counter-case, the border between the French Alliance and Locke has been in constant friction, as long as you use snacks, it is easy to provoke a war, and then it is a matter of escalating the war, it will be simpler, in short, there will be people who will ask Gu Haoran to lead the army again.

"Raising bandits for self-respect, no, this is a big rebellion, I won't do it, besides, I don't think that kid Mu Yun will do this to our Gu family, you know, I watched him grow up, and his father planned to make me Mu Yun's stepfather, he was just taking power, he wouldn't do it." "Even now, Gu Haoran doesn't have anything wrong with Zhao Muyun's behavior, he is just a little impatient, but the new king ascends the throne, isn't this normal?

"Brother, what you think is too simple, Zhao Muyun is no longer a child, he is still wanted by his sister, he has changed, you have to think clearly. Gu Xiangrong was still persuading, but his brother couldn't listen anymore.

"That's enough, don't think too badly of him, after all, he is also my nephew, and instead of using this dangerous method, we should find a suitable place outside Locke to see if there is a country that can accept us, you can arrange for Roujie to go out for a walk, after all, she is not a child anymore, it is time to go out for a walk." ”

"Yes. With a sigh, Gu Xiangrong left the study.

On a rainy day with lightning and thunder, in Gu Haoran's study, a candle emitting a faint light illuminated the two heads of the Gu family.

"Brother, do you understand now, that king didn't mean to let our Gu family go at all, I said it a long time ago. Gu Xiangrong was pacing in this study, and the enemy's knife was about to add to his neck, but at this time, his brother found out who the enemy was, and it was too late. "I said before that we were going to fight back, and you still didn't listen, now ...... The situation is already very bad for us, but we still have a chance. At this time, Gu Xiangrong sat down, approached Gu Haoran, and whispered in his ear.

"Last time, I kept an extra hand and began to gather people, and now there are more than 100 dead soldiers, enough, these 100 can provoke a war in secret, brother, we still have a chance, but you can't hesitate this time, if this continues, Pengfei will not only fall into a crisis, but die directly in the army, our Gu family can't just be slaughtered by others!" Who would have thought that in a seemingly ordinary military training, Gu Pengfei, the eldest son of General Gu Haoran, would be assassinated on the way? was also seriously injured because of this, if it weren't for the fact that Gu Haoran still had a certain prestige in the army and a certain amount of energy, I am afraid that this assassination would really be unclear, but in the end it was found out, and all the evidence pointed to the master of this country, the current king, so there was this conversation between the two brothers.

"Brother, agree, we are just protecting ourselves, this war will end soon under your leadership, we just let everyone, let the king understand that this family still needs you, you are still the invincible god of war, you are still the hole card of our Rock Kingdom, only in this way, the king will be a little more restrained, and we can also regain a certain right to protect the safety of our Gu family, otherwise, if this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before we are all assassinated in our own beds, or executed in prison." ”

"Besides, Roujie hasn't written back for more than a month, and I'm still a little worried about her, if the king does something to Pengfei, he may not do anything to Roujie, brother, we're not safe now. ”

"I ......" Gu Haoran closed his eyes in pain, does he still have to make this decision in the end?" "I understand, you can do it, it's just ...... We only want to protect ourselves, and besides, we have to do this in such a way that we must not let anyone else know about it. In the end, Gu Haoran still opened his eyes, and decisively made this decision that might change the future of the Rock Kingdom.

"I understand, I will let Youjie take charge of this matter himself, he can stand alone now, and we have already made an idea that the war will definitely burn out within three months at the latest. You just wait for the king to order you to take command of the expedition, and then the prestige of our Gu family will once again sweep the entire Southern Regions. After deciding on it, Gu Xiangrong hurriedly left here to find his son's plan, this decision is bound to save the Gu family from fire and water, which Gu Xiangrong firmly believes.

Gu Haoran looked at the constantly beating candle flame in the study alone, and sighed, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden, "Lao Zhao, don't blame me, your son forced me too hard, I can't hold it." You say, how the hell did he become like this?"

————————————————

It's still Gu Haoran's study, but this time it's not just the two of them, Gu Pengcheng is also involved, the three of them have grief and anger on their faces, they are wearing white clothes, they look like they have just participated in the funeral, and their Gu family is still broken after all.

"I'm sorry about Youjie, but they were too careless and were caught by the king. Gu Haoran whispered to his younger brother that this time they suffered heavy losses, although the matter has not been exposed, but Gu Xiangrong's son and nephew have lost their lives because of this, and only one corpse has returned.

"Brother, this son can't stay, this son can't stay!" Gu Xiangrong, whose eyes were red, couldn't say anything, he was already rational before he brought someone into the palace at this time, after all, he was his only son.

"Brother, our purpose is not for the king......" Gu Haoran didn't know what to say, he was just a courtier after all, and he did so much just to save his own life.

"Yes, I understand. "Gu Xiangrong quickly wiped away the tears left from the corners of his eyes, now is not the time to be sad," Although Youjie is dead, but the matter has been almost done, according to my estimate, in half a month, the Fran alliance will start, then I will arrange for our border army to be in danger, and then I will wait for the eldest brother to save them, I have also arranged the mobilization of reinforcements, there are not a few troops loyal to our Gu family, the only thing is a little difficult, at this time, most of the kingdom's army is in the hands of Dengyu's people, plus the relationship between the king and the three princes is so close at this time, I suspect that the three princes will take this opportunity to send troops into Locke, then the king will lead the wolf into the house。 ”

"At that time, our situation will be very passive, and it will be a big challenge to our plan, and, brother, you need to write to Pengfei as soon as possible, so that he can pay attention to protecting himself, especially the king's assassins, I don't want the matter of You'er to happen again, and our Gu family can't afford to lose any more. Also, Peng Cheng, you have to protect your father in Xingcheng, this is no longer a good place, except for the General's Mansion, it is best not to go anywhere, I will arrange other things, brother, you can rest assured. ”

"Thank you, Pengfei, I have already written to him, and he should receive it in two days, and at this time I can only hope that he will survive this crisis safely. By the way, does Rou'er have any news?"

As soon as he talked about his daughter, Gu Xiangrong's face became gloomy again, "There is no news at all, and I don't know what is going on with her now, I hope I just think too much, brother, don't be careless, the king can be said to hate our Gu family to the core, although I don't know what is going on with this kid, but we must not take it lightly, our Gu family can't afford to lose." After speaking, Gu Xiangrong left the study slowly, although it was noon at this time, but you could see the infinite sadness from this physically and mentally exhausted general.

"Father, what the second uncle said is very right, we can't take it lightly, the king is completely different from your impression when you were a child, he is now brutal, suspicious, unpredictable and moody, and the people of the third prince of Dengyu have already controlled half of Locke's power openly and secretly, if you don't stop it, father, this country will really be annexed by the Dengyu Kingdom, this is what you have fought all your life to avoid such a thing, so ......"

"So you have to be prepared, this country can do without the current king, but it must not be without you, the protector general, you and the old king have fought for the goal of their lives, you won't watch this country be destroyed at the hands of the current king, right?" Gu Pengcheng did not have a deep friendship with the king, so he saw it more clearly than his father, since a long time ago, the general and the new king are incompatible, and the Gu family and the king can only exist one.

"You, are you planning to make me rebel?" Gu Haoran's heart was undoubtedly deeply shocked at this time, even his own son saw it this way?" ”

"Since the king is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust, father, I will arrange for someone to prepare, haven't you educated me, isn't it taboo to be kind to women on the battlefield? ”
