Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

Naturally, he opened his mouth to the maximum, boasting a lot: "Back then, I was able to knock down the martial arts champion of our county government with just a spear..."

"Humph, that's because I don't want to go. If I wanted to go, it would be the turn of those people to make achievements. I guess the girls in this glamorous world can't leave me..."

"That's because my grandfather didn't want me to take charge. If I were the Third Master in charge of the businesses in Wucheng, I would have expanded my business all over the country..."

Gu Qi: “…”

He had said similar things before, like he was invincible in the Imperial Guards and would do such and such if he were allowed to go on an expedition.

I said it with great pride back then, but now I can’t think about it. I feel embarrassed when I think about it.

Even listening to others bragging makes me feel embarrassed and I can't hold my face!

The playboys were still joking about something, and Master Gu Qi couldn't stand it anymore, so he got up and left.

"Hey? What are you doing, Master Qi?"

"Is this a change of scene?"

"..."

Gu Qi was too lazy to bother with the subject anymore, so he just said, "I'm tired, don't follow me!"

He went downstairs, wrapped his cloak tightly around him, and disappeared into the night.

He wanted to continue to Yangqiaodongzi,

Walking along Yangqiao Street, there were brothels and theaters along the way, with lanterns hanging all over the street. The noise was endless, and the voices of those playboys just now were still ringing in the ears.

Even if I was several blocks away, I could still hear it clearly.

"Humph, isn't he just the Seventh Master of the Gu Family? He just got lucky and got the title. Otherwise, with his character, how could he have such a glorious life? He would have been beaten up long ago."

"If you ask me, this is a disgrace to the first six masters of the Gu family!"

"That's right, what the hell is this? He is just a nobody. The famous scholars in Wucheng only invited him because of the Gu family and His Highness..."

"What can he do? He is neither good at literature nor martial arts!"

"Poor Zhenbei Hou, the hero, a tiger father and a dog son, his students are everywhere, but only bitter melons are left at home!"

"Don't say anything. If the Zhenbei Marquis knew about this, he would be sad too."

"That's right. The Marquis' prestige is untouchable. He has passed away, so we should not make any rash comments!"

"Humph! If it weren't for the sake of the Marquis of Zhenbei and His Highness..."

"..."

……

"Ah!"

Gu Qi irritably pulled off the pearl hanging from her hairband.

That was a gift Xia Shi gave him. It was said to be some kind of magical artifact that could hear any sound he wanted to hear within a two-mile radius, and could also control the volume of the sound so as not to hurt his ears.

He initially thought it was fun, listening to this and that; later he was surprised to find that so many people were insincere, saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs;

Now, I just feel irritated.

I feel so confused and at a loss.

When he was in the palace, if the tyrant emperor led the imperial concubine to cover up everyone in the palace to deceive a child and drown him, how old would the child have to be before he realized it?

He actually realized something was wrong.

He has just been deceived since he was a child, he is not really stupid.

It started when the other study companions in Jingyang Palace laughed at him for being a proton. They asked him if he knew what a proton was. A proton means that if your father rebels, you will die first, hahahahahahahahaha…

He was only nine years old at the time, and he didn't know who to trust or what to do. So he started to study hard, hoping to find the answer in books.

Find the stories about protons in the previous dynasties, the dynasties before that, and the dynasties before that, and look for some answers from them.

I began to spend all day in the library studying hard.

But he was inexplicably involved in the Longbi case.

The nine-year-old boy was sent back to the North with a heart full of confusion, and of course, with a lot of expectations.

Because he could finally go home.

He excitedly brought several carts of gifts for his brothers and a Fanggu Inkstone for his father. He went to find him with some trepidation and asked him why he was abandoned in Kyoto since he was born. Was he held hostage as others said?

Also, are you worried about your own life or death?

At that time, the Marquis of Zhenbei angrily rebuked him for his nonsense, and accused him of being a benevolent emperor, and how could he have such evil thoughts in his mind, and then punished him with a cane.

The nine-year-old boy knelt in the snow, reciting the family rules of loyalty to the emperor over and over again, being beaten as he recited until he passed out.

This was the first time the father and son met.

later,

When he was able to get up, he ran away from home, and came to the Yangqiao tunnel, where he hugged his knees and cried all night, and threw away his sword.

Since then,

The nine-year-old was heartbroken and became a reckless teenager.

When the Marquis of Zhenbei got rid of the imperial envoy who was monitoring him and tried to find the child to explain, he could only have a big quarrel and watch his youngest son run out of the house shouting that he would never come back.

He couldn't be persuaded to come back, he couldn't explain it clearly, and he would never believe it again. What the Marquis of Zhenbei owed to this child was a knot in his heart for his whole life.

Of course, Gu Qi didn’t know everything behind this.

just,

Having seen too many people saying one thing in public and doing another in private recently, and having come into contact with many power struggles, the kindness hidden deep in his heart began to persuade him to think and recall whether there were some hidden stories behind what happened in the past.

As I was thinking, I walked to Yang Bridge. This bridge is not big, and the reason why it is famous is mostly due to its location and elegance.

But for me three years ago, it was still very big.

He remembered that he had a fever at the time and rolled down from the side of the bridge. He cried for a long time where he fell, then he got up and buried the sword.

Where did it roll from? How many steps did it take? Gu Qi thought seriously, taking steps to measure.

"Seventh Master!" someone called him.

Gu Qi: "Go away, I'm busy!" Master Gu Qi just had some signs of awakening, it was not a sudden enlightenment, and he did not change the habits of doing things and speaking formed since childhood, and he was still arrogant.

"Seventh Master is wandering alone late at night. I guess he knows the cause of your sixth brother's death, right?"

This person was not angry, but said this slowly.

"What did you say? Wasn't he fine just now?" Gu Qi looked back at the thin man beside the bridge in confusion.

He thought the person was talking about Lou Junze,

Although the generals of the Gu Family Army were very protective and caring towards Master Gu Qi,

However, Qi Ye was unreliable in his daily life, so none of the generals of the Gu family army dared to tell him any military secrets. Just like no one would talk about important work and business secrets with a naughty child, everyone was consciously on guard against him.

This results in Mr. Gu Qi often being delayed in receiving information.

Fortunately, Gu's army was used to calling Lou Junze "Sir" or "Master" in daily life, so Gu Qi didn't notice even after following the team on a forced march for two days.

“Hahahahahahaha…” The thin man laughed and sneered, “Seventh Master, how pitiful! Your sixth brother died a long time ago. The one in front of you is Prince Junze of the Lou family.”

"The son of the tyrant who confiscated your family and exterminated your clan."

"He lives as your sixth brother, but your real sixth brother died long ago!"

"He was able to escape from the palace where he was imprisoned because he used his identity to kill your sixth brother."

"If you don't believe it, why not go ask him."

"The hatred of having your family confiscated and your brother killed, can you bear it, Master Qi?"

"Anyway, I can't stand it. I am the Sixth Master's servant, and I saw him committing crimes and impersonating others."

"Seventh Master, I'll lend you this knife. Why don't you go and find out the truth of what happened back then!"

……

"Girl, I've connected with the leader, there's movement!"

Xia Shi jumped up when she heard the ding dong message in her ear. Her professionalism made her wipe her face and run out.
