The cannon fodder fake prince at the beginning, I won by hugging thighs

Guo Xi suddenly stood up from his chair, not caring that the military book in his hand was specially found for him by his father, and threw it directly at Guo Chuan.

"What's wrong with the rain? My father is guarding the border and fighting against the tribesmen. Does it depend on the weather?

Is it true that every time it rains or snows, we just need to tell the tribesmen and they will call it a day and come back another day?

I think you've really been spoiled by your mother!"

Guo Chuan didn't realize his problem at all, and even argued: "How to fight the tribe is already discussed by my father and the tribe. Can't we do it another day?"

"You!" Guo Xi was almost mad at Guo Chuan's words.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Urgutu. Why would he tell Guo Chuan such a confidential matter?

"Lü Shan! Go out and guard the door. Don't let anyone get close!"

When Lu Shan closed the study door, Guo Xi said coldly, "Kneel down!"

Guo Chuan was not convinced, but among the three adult men in the family, he had the weakest martial arts skills. If they came to a fight, he would definitely not be a match for his second brother.

In order to avoid being beaten twice, he could only kneel on the cold black gold brick floor.

If you ignore the drooping corners of his mouth, he looks quite submissive.

Guo Xi looked down at him and didn't notice the dissatisfaction on his face.

“It was Dad’s idea to keep this from you.

You always like to drink with all kinds of people, and Dad is worried that you might accidentally tell others about it."

"Daddy, how do you know I will tell others if you don't try?"

"Do we need to try this again? Didn't Tong get the clue from you and almost discovered the truth?"

Talking about this, Guo Chuan felt a little guilty.

"Later, we also tested her for many years. When we drugged her and treated Guo Ze harshly, we didn't find anyone secretly helping them."

"If it weren't for this, do you think Dad would let you go so easily?"

"I've already told you that you're worrying too much and you don't believe me!

If you ask me, you should have married that woman in the first place.

Fang'er and I are obviously in love with each other, and my mother and my grandparents are also willing to strengthen our relationship.

It’s all my father’s fault. He used Fang’er’s marriage to force me to marry that woman.

My legitimate son has to be registered under the name of a concubine, and Fang'er has to change her name before she can marry me."

Guo Xi sneered: "So that's what you think, no wonder you have been trying every way to make money from the government over the years.

I will convey your opinion to Dad and see what he says."

"My second brother only knows how to use my father to pressure me. I want to write a letter to my mother too!"

However, after Guo Chuan had a tantrum, he calmed down at this time.

If my second brother really tells my father, his good days will be over even if my mother subsidizes him.

He racked his brains, thinking of how to turn the situation around, but heard Guo Xi say, "Okay, I know you've made a lot of sacrifices for the Guo family's cause.

Don’t say such things in the future, because there may be ears behind the walls.”

As soon as Guo Chuan heard this, he knew that his second brother had let him go.

He quickly backed down and repeatedly promised that he would never say anything wrong.

He left in a hurry after saying "Brother, I'm going to Dongtaicang!"

Lu Shan watched Guo Chuan walk out of the gate of the general's mansion before returning to the study.

"Master, the Third Master has already left."

"Ah."

Guo Xi just lowered his head and responded faintly, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

He didn't say anything, so Lu Shan could only hunch his body and dare not look up.

After a while, Lu Shan felt that his waist was about to break, and then he heard a voice from above his head: "Stand up."

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say goodbye when he heard Guo Xi say, "You have been by my side for ten years, right?"

Lu Shan's heart trembled, and he clasped his fists and said, "By the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, it will be ten years."

"Ten years is neither long nor short.

How many decades does a person have? What do you think?

Lu Shan's legs softened and he knelt on the ground: "Second Master, I have been with you for so long, and I have never had any second thoughts about you!"

Guo Xi came over from behind the desk and personally helped Lu Shan up.

"What are you afraid of? I was thinking, you've been with me for so many years, and your home seems to be in the outer city, right?"

Lu Shan understood that he had truly become Guo Xi's confidant.

At the same time, his life and property were completely tied to the Guo family's boat, and he rose and fell with it.

"In reply to Second Master, my wife and children have rented a small courtyard in the outer city. Every ten days during the rest period, they will go back and stay for two days."

Guo Xi slowly walked back to the armchair and said, "Tell the butler to find you a house in the back alley of the general's mansion.

From now on, the whole family will live in the back alley, and commuting won’t be as hard as before.”

"Thank you for your kindness, Master!"

Just like the second and third sons of the Guo family stayed in the capital and were not allowed to leave easily, Lu Shan was regarded as a hostage left behind, so Guo Xi could feel free to use him as a counselor.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked briskly towards the accounting office.

Guo Xi looked at the sunlight coming in through the carved wooden door, the colors in his eyes flickering.

After careful consideration, Guo Xi turned the vase on the antique shelf next to him and took out a wooden box from the secret compartment.

Lu Jiao lay on the beam and changed the angle so that he could see clearly the words Guo Xi wrote on the small piece of paper.

As the ink dried, the words gradually disappeared. It seemed that special treatment methods were needed to make the words visible again.

Guo Xi wrote the negotiation results of both parties in the note, and also mentioned that Urgutu revealed the cooperation between the Guo family and the tribe to Guo Chuan.

He highly suspected that Urgutu wanted to alienate the relationship between the brothers, and even had deeper considerations.

But he couldn't figure it out for the moment, so he could only tell Guo Zhongjiang, hoping that his father could help him solve the problem.

At the same time, it also made his father more alert.

Since Urgutu could reveal this to Guo Chuan, there is no guarantee that he would not reveal it to others.

Guo Xi rolled up the note, walked to the back window, took out a special whistle from his lapel, and called a big bird.

It turned out to be a goshawk!

He placed the note between the leather straps tied around the hawk's feet and patted its back.

The goshawk flapped its wings a few times and flew high into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Lu Jiao was not in a hurry to leave. She came today to collect the principal.

Guo Chuan went out now, which was a good opportunity.

Since the Guo family has begun to suspect Urgutu, let him take the blame later.

Lu Jiao didn't intend to cover up the truth by leaving something like a paper roll.

Although Lu Jiao did not reveal his whereabouts these days, out of the instinct of a strong man, Urgutu still felt something was wrong.

So he was quite anxious and wanted to reach an agreement as soon as possible so that he could take the food and leave this place of trouble.

I don’t know what happened in the capital before, but the East City has already experienced several waves of searches.

He also received complaints from many tribal merchants saying that their warehouses had been searched several times by soldiers and officers and that they had suffered considerable losses.

Urgutu could only comfort them and told them that when he returned, he would definitely get the money back from the border cities of Jiang State.
