Gu Jingzhi thought for a moment and said, "The military orders and military pay must never be made known to anyone else!"

"Ok!"

Gu Yunzhi and the other two nodded.

"This batch of military pay is hidden in the basement of the Ningzhou government office. Only my second brother and I know about this! In addition, military orders are never given to others. Jin Lehuang must have just guessed about these two things!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded slightly: "Then I'm relieved! I will secretly investigate the matter of military pay. No matter where you are, you must never mention it unless I mention it. The military pay and weapons must not be known to others, otherwise we will not be able to bear these charges!"

"Okay! We'll listen to Third Brother!" The two nodded.

Then, Gu Jingzhi continued, "From what I understand, Jin Lehuang's ability to interfere in world affairs has only been a thing of the past five years, but according to reports from Ningzhou officials..."

"The Ningzhou incident only arose after the 12th year of Jianwu. Do you know the reason?"

“We don’t know about that!”

The two frowned and said, "We suspected it before, but we never asked. We just thought it was all arranged by the princess of the fallen country!"

"Is that so?"

Gu Jingzhi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any way to contact Jin Lehuang now?"

"no!"

Gu Yunzhi shook his head and said, "I was the one who contacted her about this matter, but she always took the initiative to contact us!"

"When was the last time you two were in touch?"

"It's after the New Year!"

Gu Yunzhi said: "She contacted me once after the New Year and told me that she would be away for a while, at most a year, at least half a year!"

"Half a year..."

Gu Jingzhi tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How do you usually contact each other?"

"There's a secret location in Lianyun Village within Ningzhou Prefecture. Usually, someone would take the initiative to contact us, but this time, it was strange that she came here on her own!"

"Oh?"

Gu Jingzhi was slightly stunned. He remembered that when he first met Qu Feiyan, didn’t she just return from Ningzhou?

So, the person who contacted Gu Yunzhi before... was Qu Feiyan?

Gu Jingzhi thought for a moment and said, "Stay at that spot and notify me promptly if you have any news! Also, I'll send you another person, and she'll be with you from now on!"

"people?"

Gu Yunzhi was slightly curious.

Gu Jingzhi wouldn't distrust her, right?

Seeing her like this, Gu Jingzhi immediately said, "This person used to follow Jin Lehuang. She's good at operating in secret. With her help, it will be easier for you to deal with Jin Lehuang!"

He didn't know much about Jin Lehuang, or rather, not many people he knew knew Jin Lehuang.

However, it is not that simple for this woman to cause so many troubles. Either she is very resourceful or she has no bottom line in doing things.

If such a person were to succeed once, there might be a big mess.

Because of what happened before, Qu Feiyan no longer has any loyalty to Jin Lehuang, and is now placed in the dark by Gu Jingzhi.

Now it’s just right for Gu Yunzhi!

He told Gu Yunzhi and the other two what had happened in the capital, and then said, "Everything that Jin Lehuang planned in the capital has been shattered. I tell you this just to make you understand that the Gu family also has its status in Daxia."

"The Yun Nation has always been surviving in the cracks. The world is constantly changing. Now that Daxia is unified and powerful, anyone who wants to make any moves behind the scenes will be crushed in the end!"

"The Gu family was indeed a vassal of the Yun Kingdom in their early years, but the Yun Kingdom has now surrendered to Daxia. If the Gu family joins the remnants of the Yun Kingdom in a rebellion, that would be rebellion!"

"It is not easy for the world to enjoy peace. I hope you will remember the Gu family's rules and teachings and not help others disrupt the world!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunzhi and Gu Huanzhi quickly assured him, "Don't worry, third brother. We will listen to you from now on!"

Gu Huanzhi said, "Before, the future was uncertain, and my elder sister and I couldn't find the right direction, so we went astray. Now that my Gu family has a bright future, my elder sister and I will naturally not go astray again!"

"Ok!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded slightly, then as if he had thought of something, he smiled and said, "Come with me to meet your sister-in-law later, and have dinner at home tonight!"

"correct!"

"I haven't asked my elder sister and second brother yet, are you married yet?"

"Ok!"

Gu Yunzhi nodded silently: "I already have a son and a daughter, and my second brother has two sons!"

"That's a good feeling!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "Brother-in-law and second sister-in-law are now..."

Gu Yunzhi's eyes dimmed when he heard this.

Gu Huanzhi said in a deep voice, "Eight years ago, we were surrounded by government troops and my brother-in-law was seriously injured. He passed away within two years! Your second sister-in-law is currently in the mountain stronghold with her children!"

"..."

After hearing this, Gu Jingzhi didn't know what to say for a moment!

He sighed softly and said, "Once the current affairs are dealt with, I will bring my second sister-in-law down the mountain, and the children will be raised in my house. If they want to learn literature, I will hire a teacher for them. If they want to learn martial arts, I will personally teach them martial arts!"

The two of them were moved by what they heard. Gu Yunzhi said excitedly: "Third brother, your second brother and I have been convicted of serious crimes. How could you really do this?"

"Ok!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded and said with a smile: "I am a marquis after all, I can still handle the affairs of these children!"

Speaking of Gu Yunzhi and Gu Huanzhi...

Their crimes, whether they were bandits or colluding with Jin Lehuang... each one was considered a serious crime.

Even if Gu Jingzhi had all the power in the world, he couldn't help with the cleansing. Firstly, it went against his original intention, and secondly, he was unwilling to do so.

If the Gu family wants to stand upright in front of the world, they must do so clearly.

Although Gu Huanzhi and others became bandits, they were young at the time and had no choice in some of their paths. Gu Huanzhi was sent into exile and served as a death squad. He could atone for his sins if he survived ten battles!

It is to allow him to stand upright in front of outsiders so that he will not be attacked in the future.

After the three of them finished their discussion, Gu Jingzhi took the two of them out.

As soon as I went out, I saw Xian'er and Yue'er walking towards me.

"Master, Madam asked me to ask you when dinner is served at your residence?"

After hearing this, Gu Jingzhi turned around and looked at Gu Yunzhi and Gu Huanzhi, saying, "Sister and brother, follow these two girls and take a bath first. You can have dinner soon!"

"Okay! If you have something to do, go ahead, Third Brother. Second Brother and I will be here soon!"

"Ok!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded slightly, then left first.

The two maids were a little surprised. They had been in the Marquis' Mansion for some time and knew that Gu Jingzhi had relatives from his uncle's family, but they had never heard that he had brothers and sisters from his own family.

However, the two knew not to ask questions, so they just bowed slightly and said, "Miss and Young Master, please follow us!"
