"Gu Wei, there is no one here. If you dare to leave, I will say you are disrespecting me. Then you will have to accept me, otherwise you will lose your reputation."

The man shouted at Gu Wei's back in a hurried tone.

Upon hearing this, Gu Wei actually curled his lips and smiled, his narrow peach blossom eyes full of coldness.

He had already given her a chance.

Gu Wei turned around and played with the short blade in his hand: "Why do you think I have to marry you just because you take off your clothes without any self-respect?"

Liu Rouhan swallowed her saliva and her tone became gentle, "My Lord, I only ask for a concubine, even if it's a maid, as long as I can be by your side, I am willing. I voluntarily follow the second branch of the Gu family into exile, all for you..."

Gu Wei interrupted her impatiently, "Who are you? I have never seen you before."

Liu Rouhan's eyes were filled with shock. "I am the second cousin. Two months ago, I went to the Duke's Mansion with my aunt. Don't you remember me?"

Gu Wei didn't answer. He stabbed the short blade in his hand straight forward, scraping Liu Rouhan's face and stopping on the tree behind her.

The long hair on the side of Liu Rouhan's face was cut off, leaving a deep blood mark on her face.

She screamed and immediately covered her face, tears streaming down her face from the pain, but she was even more afraid of her appearance being ruined.

Gu Wei's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty coldness, "I only remember your voice. It seems like you had a quarrel with my Xie Ling, right?"

The mountain wind was blowing noisily, blowing Gu Wei's red brocade robe embroidered with gold patterns. Occasionally, a leaf fell and was stepped on by his brocade boots.

He said casually, "There's no one around here. If I kill you, who would notice? Even if someone does, who can do anything to me?"

Liu Rouhan covered her face, as if she was looking at a devil, and stumbled away, fearing that Gu Wei would get angry and kill her the next second.

The light pink corners of the clothes disappeared into the dense forest.

Gu Wei's dark eyes were half closed, but the murderous intent in them was still there.

He walked forward, took out the short blade that was deeply engraved in the tree, and wiped the blood off it with disgust.

He was really murderous.

How could a man who has been accustomed to fighting on the battlefield since childhood and is called a cold-faced god of war by foreign enemies allow himself to be easily controlled by others?

He is only gentle and kind to his family.

When he walked under a birch tree, two men in black suddenly appeared, knelt on the ground and called him "master" in a low voice.

Gu Wei was somewhat surprised that the two showed up at this time, and asked, "Have you discovered anything recently?"

A man stepped forward and handed Gu Wei a white carrier pigeon, saying, "It was sent by Gu Shiyu from the side branch."

Another person handed Gu Wei a military token and said, "General, Military Advisor Ren sent a letter saying that General Gu is still in Saibei and asked when you will recall him?"

After Gu Wei took the letter off the dove and read it, his eyes were cold, "Gu Shiyu will find a chance to deal with it. As for the Gu family generals, we will talk about it after we reach Lingnan, otherwise it will be too conspicuous along the way. Here is a letter, give it to the military advisor and let him read it when the crisis comes."

The two answered: "Yes."

It quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests, leaving no trace.

-

After Liu Rouhan ran back to the territory of the second branch of the Gu family, she collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, sweating coldly with fear.

She covered her face, her eyes full of hatred.

Her face, the face she valued most.

How could Gu Wei be so cruel?

Liu Rouhan looked towards the Gu family's territory with a cold gaze.

Xie Ling was wearing her hair in a bun and playing with Ru Jie'er.

She carried Ru Jie'er high on her shoulders and ran around, her smile lively and unrestrained, as bright as the morning sun, touching the heart.

Liu Rouhan grabbed the hem of her clothes fiercely. Why did Xie Ling get such a handsome and good husband?

Why does Gu Wei dote on her so much?

And she was hurt like this by Gu Wei?

When Gu Dong saw Liu Rouhan running back, a hint of lust appeared in his eyes. He walked over and pinched her waist.

"Rouhan is back. Why are you sitting here crying? Let your uncle pick you up."

Liu Rouhan felt so sick that she wanted to vomit. She shook his hand away and said, "I can get up by myself."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Gu Dong looked at her back with a smile, as if he was looking at a struggling mouse in a cage.

The days are long and he is not in a hurry.

Liu Rouhan will be in his hands sooner or later.

Liu Rouhan covered her face, her eyes full of hatred.

The rapist Gu Dong is becoming more and more presumptuous towards her. Her aunt is of no use to her. She must get away from the second branch of the Gu family as soon as possible!

Since Gu Wei can't do it, she can only...

Chen family territory.

Chen Daoyu, the second son of the Chen family, was currently standing under a tree, tidying up his priceless gown.

Even in exile, he remained elegant and graceful, washing his hair with warm water every day and wearing the newest clothes.

Chen Daoyu was a well-known playboy in the capital. He spent all his time in brothels and entertainment venues, enjoying the Liangyuanyue and drinking Dongjing wine.

He was born with a charming face and was quite talented. He was proficient in poetry, songs, calligraphy, chess, and painting. He was all show and no substance.

Seeing Liu Rouhan running over at this time, he curled his thin lips and put his arms around Liu Rouhan's slender waist.

"My pretty girl, where are you going today? I think someone saw you behind a rock last time."

Liu Rouhan blushed at his frivolous tone, covered her injured face, and breathed softly, "Sir, when will you carry me into the Chen family?"

Her eyes flashed and she thought, since she couldn't be with Gu Wei, Chen Daoyu was also an excellent choice.

The Chen family had a deep financial foundation, so even after being exiled, they still had plenty of food and fish to eat every day.

Although Chen Daoyu is a playboy, he is good-looking and knows how to make women happy. Few women can resist his teasing, and she is the same.

So that day, she agreed reluctantly.

When Chen Daoyu heard Liu Rouhan's words, he loosened his grip, and a cold light flashed in his phoenix eyes, "My little beauty, we are just playing around, just having some fun. Do you think it's possible for me to carry you into the Chen family?"

Liu Rouhan opened her eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "What are you talking about?"

Chen Daoyu took two steps back, moving a little further away from her, and said in a cold tone, "Our relationship ends here, and we should not have any more contact in the future."

Liu Rouhan was like a puppet whose life had been drained out. "I gave you my most precious body, and you actually said such a thing!"

Chen Daoyu had a sneer on his face, "How can it be the first time for a woman who can have sex with a man so easily?

Besides, if she slept with anyone, I would have to carry her to the Chen family, and the backyard of the Chen family would have been filled up long ago."

After saying this, Chen Daoyu turned away.

Liu Rouhan was left standing there in shock.

She covered her face, and after a while, she burst into laughter, her eyes full of madness.

Her period had not come for half a month, so she rushed to find Gu Wei, because she still loved Gu Wei the most in her heart, and more importantly, she wanted to disgust Xie Ling.

But I didn’t expect Gu Wei to be so cold-blooded, and Chen Daoyu was even more cruel!

She glanced at the Chen family's luxurious carriage.

She must go into the Chen family.

She must live better than Xie Ling!

In the Gu family's main house, Gu Wei came home tired after a day of work and found dinner was already ready.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, he then looked at his beautiful wife and warm family beside him.

Gu Wei felt that he was the happiest man in the world.

After dinner, Xu Xingzhi brought Yu Niang to visit.

Xu Xingzhi and Gu Wei hit it off immediately and had a very pleasant conversation.

The two men went into the woods while talking, plotting something unknown.

Yu Niang was left chatting with the women of the Gu family.

Yu Niang is a very gentle and honest woman. She just listens quietly when others are talking.

Even Song, who was usually taciturn, was able to talk to her.

Knowing that Song had been depressed since her husband disappeared, Yu Niang's eyes were full of pity. She held Song's hand and said that she would come to chat with her more often in the future.

After a while, Gu Wei and Xu Xingzhi came back.

Both of them looked a little solemn, but they were still in good spirits.

Xie Ling watched and based on her experience, she thought the two of them should have reached some kind of alliance.

The next day, when Xie Ling was washing vegetables, Gu Yunshu from the Gu family's side branch suddenly came to see her.

She wiped her hands and asked in confusion, "Big girl, you came to see me?"

Gu Yunshu nodded, pulled her into a dark place, and told her about Gu Shiyu.

Xie Ling frowned after hearing this, "You mean, Gu Shiyu has been passing messages to the prince and wants to harm Gu Wei?"

Gu Yunshu nodded, "Xie Xiaomei, everything I said is true, I saw Gu Shiyu and the prince by the Gu family lake with my own eyes..."

She found it difficult to speak up, so she continued, "Anyway, tell cousin Gu Wei to be careful of Gu Shiyu."

Xie Ling nodded, "I'll tell him, thank you."

During dinner in the evening, Xie Ling told Gu Wei about this matter.

Gu Wei felt a little helpless.

He had originally planned to do it to Gu Shiyu without her knowing, but now that Xie Ling knew about it, he couldn't do that anymore.

He was afraid that Xie Ling would think he was cruel and cold-blooded.

It would be bad if I scared my delicate wife.

In the middle of the night, he quietly walked into the forest and summoned his two subordinates.

"Gu Shiyu, don't move for now, just scare him."

The two were completely confused.

You said you would kill him this morning, but now you don’t want to kill him. Why?

Thinking of Xie Ling, Gu Wei's cold peach blossom eyes became gentle, "I'm afraid my wife will know. Forget it. You are not married yet, so you don't understand."

The two looked at Gu Wei's happy expression, why did they feel like he was showing off?

Gu Wei continued, "As for my eldest brother, you continue to send people to search. The body that the prince's men found is definitely not his.

As for the people in Listening Snow Tower, they are my subordinates just like you. I will not favor one over the other. You should work well together and avoid infighting. "

The two said seriously: "Yes."

---

The stream gurgles, and the flying snow bends the branches.

Xu Xingzhi and Gu Wei sat opposite each other.

Xu Xingzhi held the map of Lingnan in his hand and said with a smile, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Gu Wei lifted his robe and sat down, and got straight to the point, "Gu Shiyu from the Gu family's side branch is the prince's spy, but I think the prince should have more than one spy, and this is not his style."

Xu Xingzhi nodded, "Then the prince must have known that you have woken up, and he will definitely send someone to assassinate you. What do you plan to do?"

Gu Wei said bluntly: "I have someone."

Xu Xingzhi was very surprised by Gu Wei's frankness, and at the same time he was very touched.

In an alliance, trust is the most important thing.

He pointed at the map and said, "Lingnan has many mountains, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are also many minerals, it is convenient to smelt iron, and the place where we are exiled is close to the sea, so it is also convenient to make salt. What do you think, sir?"

Gu Wei curled his lips, "I think the same as you do, sir."

Compete for the world.

The Beijiang royal family treated him unkindly, so why should he treat them well?

My eldest brother’s disappearance must have been the work of the prince.

The emperor also played a role in the sudden death of his father on the battlefield.

He will settle these grudges one by one.

Gu Wei has never been a blindly loyal person, on the contrary, he is ambitious.

The founding emperor of Beijiang has been very kind to the ancestors of the Gu family. More than a dozen generations of the Gu family have been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and countless men have died on the battlefield. It is time to repay them.

Gu Wei has no regrets.

Xu Xingzhi's heart was filled with excitement. Among the scholars in the world, who doesn't want to make contributions to the country and achieve great things?

He suppressed his excitement and said, "Sir, there is no shortage of talents in the exile team. If we can win over these families, it will be beneficial to our cause. The Wu family is a military family, the head of the Gao family once worked in the Ministry of Households, and the Shi family..."
