Volume 10 Chapter 8 The Ancient Family (I)
Gao Chenghong was a guest at the Gu family tonight, and it was Gu Yutang who entertained him.
Because of the incident in the Hushan camp, Gu Yutang has changed from "the most promising young ......" to "one" at home, but there are still many people who are optimistic about him, but they just feel that he is unlucky and meets Hong Yu, a strange opponent.
There are some things that the second prince is inconvenient to come forward, so Gao Chenghong will do it. But tonight, Gu Tielei, the head of the Gu family, did not set up a banquet to entertain Gao Chenghong, he just came forward to say hello to Gao Chenghong, and then confessed and left. It has always been Gu Yutang who came forward to receive Gao Chenghong.
During the banquet, Gao Chenghong tried several times, Gu Yutang wanted to speak and stopped, and when the banquet was over, Gu Yutang invited him to his courtyard and put the idle people away, and then sighed slightly: "Brother Gao, please understand my difficulties." ”
Gao Chenghong's handsome face, which haunted countless women, showed a disdainful smile: "What, does the Gu family really want to consider Hong Yu?"
Gao Chenghong's purpose for coming today is actually similar to Hong Yu. The second prince promised to help the Gu family reach the top of the six treasure towers, and the Gu family would repay the favor and be loyal to the second prince.
Even Gu Yutang felt that his father was more optimistic about Hong Yu, which made him very dissatisfied.
"There are some things in the family that are still decided by the older generation, and I ...... But don't worry, brother, I will try my best to lobby my father!"
Gao Chenghong raised the teacup and smiled slightly: "I believe in the ancient brother, your vision is second to none in the ancient family!"
After Gu Yutang sent Gao Chenghong away, he rushed directly to his father's study. In addition to his father, there are two uncles who hold real power in the study. Gu Yutang -- After seeing the ceremony, he asked with some incomprehension: "Father, are you really optimistic about Hong Yu? The Hong family is the one with the most shallow background among the four heavenly pillars. And Hong Yu is a fool again, it's okay to fool around, and it is impossible for him to be of any use to decide that the top of the list of the six treasures belongs to this kind of thing.
In this matter, I still think it is best to cooperate with the second prince, the second prince can help us persuade bixia, as long as bixia opens his mouth, the top position must be our ......"
Gu Tielei looked at him and asked rhetorically: "Then Weishenme can't cooperate with Hong Yu? Hong Yu can also ask His Highness." ”
Gu Yutang shook his head: "There is a layer in between, it's not so convenient." And I always feel that the means of the Second Highness are better than the means of the Great Highness, and the future will ......"
"Say no more. Gu Tielei interrupted him: "That's the problem with my disagreement. Gu Yutang was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "Father?" Gu Tielei sighed: "Bixia is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, at least he can reign for twenty years, and several His Highnesses are fighting now, what do you think Bixia will think?"
Gu Yutang suddenly understood that his father was not optimistic about Hong Yu, but he didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two highnesses.
"Bixia and the two highnesses are father and son, even if they are unhappy, just reprimand them. But if we get involved, we'll be scapegoats!"
Gu Yutang was in a cold sweat: "My son is confused!"
Gu Tielei nodded: "You can understand so quickly, it is in vain what I have taught over the years." I'm not optimistic about Hong Yu either, but it's even more impossible for us to cooperate with His Royal Highness. And the lessons of the Bai family are there, if we don't cooperate with Hong Yu, we will also suffer huge losses, and the gains outweigh the losses, so it is better to join forces with Hong Yu, let him not make trouble for us, and give him some benefits. Maybe, he can also make trouble for the Wei family. ”
Gu Yutang was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"I know about your holiday with Hong Yu, but the eldest husband can bend and stretch, what is the point of this matter?"
"My son understood. ”
After Gu Yutang withdrew, he swept away the obedient posture in the study just now, grinning with disdain.
The old man was too cautious.
What he said was right, Bixia didn't like the two highnesses to start fighting for that position so early, and it was extremely risky to get involved now. But now if you join the camp of the Second Highness, you will be a confidant and a powerful minister! When the Second Highness ascends the throne in the future, not to mention the top of the list of the six great treasures, the four heavenly pillars are just around the corner!
If there is no risk, where is the benefit?
The old man is really old, looking ahead and looking backwards, and stopping! He shook his head, and had other thoughts of his own.
The people from the Wei family came in the afternoon, but they went back when they saw that Hong Yu was not there.
But early the next morning, Gu Tielei's third brother Gu Tiexiong came and rushed in front of the Wei family.
Gu Tiexiong talked with Hong Yu at Hong's house for two full hours, and then returned satisfied. As for the matter of Gu Yutang, when Gu Tiexiong took out a manor title deed outside Wudu City to express his "apology", Hong Yu also said that he did not take it to heart with "generosity".
In the afternoon, the people of the Wei family came again, but Hong Yu avoided it.
Everyone thought that Hong Yu must still be that method, and found an excuse to go to the Wei family to make a big fuss, so that the Wei family would lose face and withdraw from the battle for the top spot.
Because they couldn't think of any way to help the Gu family take the throne except for this method.
The Gu family, the Bai family, and the Wei family, the difference in strength is very small, and if you want to help the Gu family reach the top through legitimate channels, you have to help the Gu family increase their strength, but does Hong Yu have the ability? He can't let the masters of the Hong family join the Gu family, right? Old man Hong was the first to refuse.
But after fighting the Bai family and then the Wei family, there are too many enemies, even if you can win the Gu family, this is also a road to self-destruction.
In the second prince's mansion, the second highness who knew the news sneered together with Gao Chenghong and Gu Yutang, waiting to see Hong Yu's joke.
However, the next day, a piece of news shocked the entire Wudu! The Gu family had discovered a Dihuo Geng gold mine in the Zangyun Mountain! According to the preliminary judgment, the reserves of this mineral deposit were more than 100,000 catties!
Earth Fire Gengjin is a very precious metal, and it is an indispensable raw material for building Xuanbing. And after adding a small amount of Earth Fire Gengjin to ordinary weapons, the durability and sharpness will also be greatly improved.
The price of this precious metal material has always been maintained at the level of 10,000 taels of silver, and it is often out of stock.
In the territory of Great Xia, the reserves of Dihuo Geng gold are scarce, and this Dihuo Geng gold mine is the largest one discovered in Daxia so far!
The Gu family was originally strong, and once they got the help of this mine, they would be able to leave the Bai family and the Wei family far behind in five years at most.
And the shocking statute of this news has not yet passed, and the Bai family announced that in the future, it can supply live beasts for a long time, and the highest grade is even as high as three grades!
Although it is necessary to rely on the buyer himself if he wants to subdue the desolate beast, this long-term supply, coupled with the sale of live bodies, has shocked the entire martial capital!
If it is said that the effect of the Earth Fire Geng Gold Mine will not be seen until five years later, then the Desolate Beast can really improve its combat power, and the effect will be immediate! The Gu family can sell it, obviously because they already have a large amount of inventory, and they may have already domesticated it in large quantities!
At this time, even a blind person can see that these two items were planned by Hong Yu. But Hong Yu, the second ancestor of waste and a stupid loser, really has this kind of generosity?
When the reputation and strength of the Gu family increased rapidly with these two news, someone released the news: Hong Yu was bragging. He doesn't have that strength at all!
There are many people who are skeptical, but many people don't dare or don't want to say it.
But now that this layer of window paper has been pierced, everyone has no scruples, so doubts have arisen. In fact, not only outsiders, but also the Gu family themselves couldn't believe it.
Gu Yutang was very worried and warned his father: "Hong Yu is messing around again, this kind of cowhide is blown out, but it is not for us to gain a good reputation, once the cowhide is punctured, our Gu family will really lose face." Don't say anything about the top of the list of the six treasures, it's good to keep the current position!"
In addition to him, the other Gu family members were also worried: "Yes, family master, what's the point of saying such big things? It's better to let Hong Yu go to the Wei family to make a big fuss." ”
They all have the same idea: Hong Yu is just boasting, and the two things he said are all false! Because this is really amazing, it is impossible!
Among those present, only Gu Tielei and Gu Tiexiong were immobile as the old god of the mountain, and everyone was noisy and shouting, but gradually quieted down, because they all saw that the face of the head of the family was flat as usual, and they looked unmoved.
"The head of the house?"
Gu Tielei said lightly: "This is a long time ago, what is there to worry about?
Everyone had questions, but they didn't dare to say any more, and gradually dispersed.
After only Gu Tielei and Gu Tiexiong were left, the original composure of the two disappeared all of a sudden, leaving only a thick sorrow.
"Third brother, I didn't say that I made such a big move......"
Gu Tiexiong was also a little uncertain: "Big brother, why don't I go to Hong Yu and ask again?"
This matter caused a lot of uproar, but after Emperor Bixia knew about it, he just sighed lightly, and his expression was a little gloomy. He had already seen Hong Yu's terrifying desolate beast cavalry regiment, and knew that there was absolutely no problem with the long-term supply of live desolate beasts. Originally, only this one was needed to be able to send the Gu family directly to the top of the list of the six treasure buildings, so why did Hong Yu add a snake and add a Dihuo Geng gold mine?
That can only mean one thing: this vein is also real.
Although it is claimed to be the Gu family, it must be in the hands of Hong Yu. The Hong family became stronger and stronger, and the emperor became more worried. Some of his arrangements for the Hong family have gradually unfolded, but there is no quick way to curb Hong Yu in the short term, so he can only wait and see what happens.
However, the resources and means that the head of a country can use are far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Those arrangements of Emperor Wuzong, once completed, would definitely be a terrible disaster for the Hong family!
Outside the Imperial City, inside the Wudu, these two pieces of news have been rapidly fermented and discussed hotly. Some people have already secretly gone to Zangyun Mountain to find the so-called "Gujia Mine", and more people have adopted a more direct method to come to the Gujia and ask for wild beasts!
At this moment, Gu Tielei was really anxious, and came to Hong Yu in person. Hong Yu sent him away in a few words.
