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

"It's not time yet!" Gu Qi said softly.

On the day of the libation after the funeral, many people came as usual, almost filling up the grassy area on the hillside outside the city. The custom in the northern part of Dongzhou is slightly different from that in Zhongzhou. After the libation, the guests should be treated to a meal. There were so many guests that people in the yard almost squeezed out to the street, filling up many streets.

In the main house, the young men of the family should take care of relatives and friends as usual. Due to the fierce war that year, the lineage of Zhenbei Marquis only had two children left. Although he had many children, in the end, only Gu Qi was left; and Zhenbei Marquis's sister went to the palace early in her life and gave birth to only one son, Lou Junze; the Yang family, the maiden family of Zhenbei Marquis's wife, only had Young Master Yang; the eldest young master of the Gu family's in-laws were wiped out; the second young master's in-laws moved out of the northern border because their unmarried daughter committed suicide for love; the third young master has not yet started to discuss marriage,

Xiyan held the thick family tree and checked it again and again. In the end, the only ones who could be called the Seventh Master's real relatives were his cousin from his aunt's side and his cousin from his uncle's side.

There was a crowd of people outside the main house, but there were only three people inside.

Such a great family with a history of hundreds of years, but the last table was not full. How sad it was.

The three of them sat opposite each other, and no one could speak.

Lou Junze couldn't sit still, so he stood up with red eyes and stood in the corridor.

Young Master Yang looked left and right, looked right and left, not knowing what to say, so he simply went out to entertain the guests.

Gu Qi was the only one left in the room, and he finally burst into tears.

"what…………"

Late at night, I continued to get drunk. This time I passed out by the river. The skinny and wretched man came to ask again:

"Seventh Master, why haven't you made a move yet?"

"You don't believe me, do you?"

"You can actually trust me. Think about it, if it weren't for Lou Junze, how could Sixth Master die? How could the Gu family be reduced to such a state of decline..."

Gu Qi took out the dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it into his heart: "Believe? I don't believe anyone!"

"If he wanted to escape from the villa, he could pretend to be anyone else. Why did he have to kill someone to pretend to be the Sixth Brother? Wouldn't it be easier to be discovered if he pretended to be a servant who no one paid attention to..."

Countless secret guards rushed out and fought with the people who had been following Gu Qi.

How could Master Gu Qi be deceived?

He is no longer a child who can be easily deceived.

I have been dragging my feet these days just to find out the details of these people.

The young man wiped away his tears for the last time, threw away the wine jug, and helped the guards to clear out the spies who were following them and to tie up the captured people. When they were all done, he spurred his horse and rode away.

……

He finally came to Wucheng again, and dug out the sword belonging to the Seventh Master of the Gu family from under an exquisite bridge in a winding alley on Yangqiao Street.

This sword is thick and simple, with no decoration on it. Only the word "Liang" is engraved in small characters on the sword spine. This is the sword that Zhenbei Hou asked the most powerful swordsmith in Dongzhou to make for his seven sons.

The materials are extremely fine.

After being buried in the mud for so many years, it still shines brightly when it is pulled out.

Gu Qi sat under the bridge, at the place where he had cried that year, and slowly wiped the sword.

The straps on the sword stem were broken, and the rings on the scabbard were full of sand. He carefully removed the straps, washed them in the stream, tied them up again bit by bit, and then scrubbed the scabbard bit by bit.

When everything was done, he sat silently, watching the clouds and the sunset in the sky.

"What is Master Qi thinking about?"

A hoarse and old voice sounded. Gu Qi turned around and saw that it was his fifth uncle from Xishui Village.

"Fifth Uncle!" Everyone in Xishui Village likes to call him Fifth Uncle, because his generation is so high, from the old man in his sixties to the toddler.

Gu Qi had lived in Xishui Village for a while, and had followed suit for a while, and now he could say it out loud.

"Yeah!" When Fifth Uncle heard the shout, he nodded happily, jumped down from the little lion that was supporting the bridge head, and sat on the stone next to Gu Qi under the bridge with nimbleness.

“This is a great location to watch the sunset!”

In fact, it is not good, how can the view from the bridge be as good? But as people get older, their mood may be different. They think that being able to sit next to the young master and watch the sunset is particularly good.

"I don't have much ability. I have followed the Marquis for so many years, but I don't understand the art of war, I haven't learned the military formation, and I haven't found the essence of leading troops. I am just a warrior.

Fortunately, I still have some kung fu skills. When I was young, I also led horses and guarded him for many years. Although I am now just an idle man who spends money to travel in the mountains, I have also experienced everything that the Marquis has experienced. If there is anything that the Seventh Master wants to know, I can answer your questions!"

The Seventh Master was not polite, he asked about all the doubts from that year.

Fifth uncle: "...When you were nine years old, you were accompanied by the imperial envoy. Walls have ears. The tyrant emperor has long been afraid of the northern border. If the marquis doesn't beat you, how can he protect you? If he beats me, it will hurt him too..."

Gu Qi lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

The fifth uncle didn't wait for him to ask again, and calmly told the story of the past according to the timeline:

"...When we kept you in Kyoto, there was really no way to change your mind. The Sixth Master went there on the way to the capital. The year he was born, there happened to be bandits. His wife was born prematurely, and he had been in poor health since childhood. His greatest wish was to see the Kyoto described in poems by literati and poets, but unfortunately he never saw it in the end. However, he had seen Zhongzhou and the Qishan where the knights had sword fights, and finally said that he had no regrets. Your aunt was actually as brave as a man and was a female general. The year she went to the capital, she had actually been engaged. Unfortunately, fate played tricks on her. The late emperor issued an imperial decree, and she gave up her martial arts and was willing to be imprisoned in the inner palace for the rest of her life, using the best years of her life to protect the Zhenbei Marquisate through the difficulties... Your nickname was given by her, the word "An", which means she hopes you will be safe..."

I wish you peace!

The once stunningly beautiful girl from the Gu family used a trick to send the only capable eunuch by her side back to the palace, protecting the infant Seventh Master as he grew up safely, until she died silently for him during the Dragon Pen Case. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Queen to jump off the city wall in her gorgeous attire in the end.

Fifth Uncle calmly talked about the past, about the predecessors who had to do this in the past, and the love and hate that could not be easily expressed!

It turns out that everyone has always cared about themselves and has always loved themselves.

He exhaled lightly, and the boy felt warm in his heart.

This child who had lived in a pile of conspiracies since birth, this twisted, arrogant, cold-hearted, angry, and unruly child, for the first time calmly looked at the clouds in the sky.

The clouds roll in and out,

He tied up the sword in his arms and put it on his back. This was the birthday gift his father gave him three years ago when he was still alive. He was disdainful at the time, thinking that the person who had treated him like a hostage since childhood and abandoned him was not worthy of being a father.

But now, he sat under the bridge and wiped it clean carefully.

The boy was only twelve years old.

He felt that he could grow up.

Midnight,

He picked up a report order from Kuishan, an ordinary soldier, and went out with his sword in hand, heading towards the reporting office of the barracks at the northern border, and slowly disappeared into the night.

His name is Gu Anliang, the Anliang that means fighting against violence and upholding justice.

……

Miss Xia has been very busy lately, so busy that her feet can't touch the ground, and her feet are so busy that they hit her head.

There are not many relatives in the Gu family who are closely related, but there are a lot of relatives who are not closely related.
