"No, I'm building a tiled house for you to live in."

Li Xiaoyu explained to him softly.

She is very wealthy now, so it is not too much to build a house for her good friend to live in.

After listening to her explanation, Li Fugui took her a few steps outside, completely away from everyone, and then he smiled helplessly to his good friend.

"Xiao Yu, I am a man. I will have to support a large family in the future. I have to learn how to make money on my own."

He seriously suspected that she had been with Li Wu and the others for a long time.

Subconsciously, I feel that he is just as cowardly.

Li Xiaoyu had indeed been with Li Wu and the others for a long time and was used to having everything arranged properly, but she really didn't feel that being rich and powerful was a loss.

He blinked and pursed his lower lip.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Fugui say, "If you build the tile house, I will be relaxed and feel that I have everything. I will lose the drive to fight. If that's the case, what's the point of me coming to the northwest to learn from you?"

Li Xiaoyu's eyes paused slightly.

She didn't expect Fugui to change so drastically.

He took a deep breath, smiled and nodded: "I understand."

Seeing this, Li Fugui wanted to remind her of something, but when he leaned over, Li Xiaoyu knew what he was going to say.

With a light smile: "I know that when you are away from home, you should not let your wealth leak out."

She just thought that building a tile house would solve the problem once and for all. She knew that in a strange place, hiding her wealth was the best protection for herself.

Seeing her smile, Li Fugui also smiled.

"So you agreed?"

"Since you've said that, how can I not agree? What if you continue to be a second-rate person in the future and still say it's my fault? I won't bear the blame."

Friends joked with each other and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

I walked into the house and told the village chief about the thatched house construction and asked him to help.

Li Xiaoyu paid the bulk of the money for renovating the house. She remembered the part contributed by Li Fugui and planned to return it to him when she returned to Shu in the future.

We need to rebuild the foundation and repair the well.

A month and a half passed in a flash.

Midnight is different from the tranquility of the northwest.

At this time, far away in the imperial city of Lin'an, the doors of every household in the city were closed. Listening to the continuous sound of horse hooves on the streets, everyone held their breath and dared not even breathe.

A huge cavalry army arrived at the gates of the imperial palace.

The leading man was not wearing armor, but still in black clothes. Countless burning torches behind him illuminated the night.

A face hidden in the darkness, a handsome figure.

Make him like a leopard lurking in the night.

His figure gradually emerged in the flickering flames. His cold and solemn aura made the countless soldiers holding bows and arrows on the city wall dare not take it lightly.

Countless arrows were aimed at Gu Fei. With just one order, his heart would be pierced by thousands of arrows.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense.

Gu Fei had a cold expression and lowered her eyes to look at the little boy in her arms.

His thin lips moved: "Are you scared?"

The arrows looked extremely sharp under the firelight. Gu Lin felt that if just one arrow shot at him, he would be killed on the spot.

His little heart seemed to be about to jump out of his body.

When he heard the words of the man behind him, he suddenly stopped panicking.

Looking up at Uncle Wang's stern face, he shook his head: "As long as Uncle Wang is here, I'm not afraid."

Hearing this, Gu Fei really wanted to throw him down and scare him, but then he thought of something and didn't do it.

He stroked his hair and said something thought-provoking to him.

"Since you are not afraid, then open your eyes and watch carefully."

Gu Lin was still young after all, and didn't quite understand what he meant by this sentence. He raised his head and was about to ask further questions.

Suddenly, the situation on the city wall changed drastically.

The soldiers who had just been holding bows and arrows, almost in the blink of an eye, took out their daggers and cut the necks of those soldiers who had not put down their bows and arrows. In an instant, blood spurted down from the city wall.

Dyed the walled city red.

Drops of blood were like mist, floating in the air and sprinkling on the bodies of the people below the city.

Gu Lin watched as those soldiers died silently without even having time to fight back. His young face turned pale and colorless.

There was only fear in those beautiful eyes.

He saw with his own eyes the blood mist dripping onto Gu Fei's face, staining that delicate face from the corners of the eyes to the chin.

Like a breathing devil.

At this moment, the tightly closed, magnificent and towering vermilion gate made a creaking sound. The sound was deep and dull, as if telling the ancient past of this palace.

Sporadic firelight shone through the crack in the door.

Gu Fei lowered her eyes and looked at the frightened expression of the little guy.

Pinching his face, she gently wiped away the tiny drops of blood on his face with her thumb.

The low voice in the lonely and restless night is like the blended sandalwood, with a mellow fragrance and a hint of pine and cypress.

If you smell it carefully, you will smell a bitter taste.

"You call me Uncle Wang. You must remember the first lesson Uncle Wang teaches you carefully."

Gu Lin's whole body was stiff. He looked at his uncle and finally understood the meaning of his father's last words before he died.

My father said, "Don't go to your uncle Wang unless it's absolutely necessary, because he is a lunatic."

During the moment he was stunned, his jaw hurt.

Gu Fei stared at him expressionlessly, her tone colder: "Did you remember?"

"Remember..." Gu Lin paused, forcing himself not to tremble, took a deep breath, and endured the fear in his heart, and replied affirmatively: "Remember."

The city gates are wide open.

Then an impassioned shout of "kill" was heard behind them, and under the leadership of Gu Fei, countless soldiers rushed into the palace.

This was a coup that began to unravel from within the palace.

It was even a bit boring to Gu Fei.

He held Gu Lin in his arms and walked towards the Yangxin Palace step by step.

The palace maids, eunuchs and others who served the emperor and the dowager concubine knew best who had forced Gu Fei to this point. They fled the palace with their bags.

The end is undoubtedly death.

They rushed towards Gu Fei like crazy.

"My young prince, please let me go. I know nothing."

"We were all instructed by the Concubine. Please spare my life..."

Before he could get close, he was pulled away and killed by Gu Fei's men.

Listening to the screams and pleas for mercy, the man glanced at the fire and blood, but there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.

Outside the gate of the Yangxin Palace, a man in armor saw him approaching and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, they are all inside."

Gu Fei responded softly.

Then she looked at the child in her arms tenderly, and said in an extremely gentle voice: "Gu Lin, your grandmother is in there, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Hearing this, Gu Lin looked at the vermilion red door that was so heavy that he couldn't push it open.

His little hands were clenched tightly, his black and white eyes were filled with hatred, he looked at Gu Fei, his usually timid voice was firm and powerful.

He said, "Uncle Wang, I want to ask the Empress Dowager why she wanted to kill her own son!"

Hearing the little guy's words, Gu Fei couldn't help but laugh.

The men behind him also looked at the little guy differently for the first time.

Gu Fei's eyebrows were slightly curved, and her thin lips were raised in a slight arc. The smile did not reach her eyes, and her voice was cold and gentle.

"I want to know too, let's go in and ask."
