In the Liu Mansion.

The raging fire spread wildly, and the once glorious Liu Mansion was now reduced to ruins bit by bit in the flames.

At this time, Liu Cheng'an was already lying on the ground, seriously injured, with a trace of blood on the corner of his lips. The servants and maids in the Liu Mansion, as well as Madam Liu and the concubines of the Liu Mansion, all hid aside, trembling in fear.

"Liu Qizhang, it's time to understand what happened in Luozhou back then."

Gu Yanqing's clothes were already stained with blood, and the long sword in his hand was pointing directly at Liu Qizhan in front of him.

"I didn't expect that you were the one who slipped through the net in Luozhou back then."

Liu Qizhan looked at Gu Yanqing viciously.

In the past, he only thought that Gu Yanqing was troublesome and a stumbling block to him, but now it seems that she is more than just a stumbling block.

It's simply a death warrant.

"I have been speculating for several years that His Majesty must have a top expert by his side, protecting him all the time. I've guessed many people, but I never thought it would be you."

Liu Qizhan still looked full of energy at this time. During the process of Emperor Jianping's fight for the throne, he had been in danger of his life many times, but in the end he resolved all of them one by one.

At that time, Liu Qizhan knew that Emperor Jianping was no ordinary person and that there must be some expert hiding around him, so he could not confront him head-on.

Therefore, at the beginning of Emperor Jianping's accession to the throne, Liu Qizhan pretended to be injured and handed over the Liu family army to Liu Cheng'an. From then on, he was in a semi-retired state, neither attending court nor participating in party struggles.

Silently behind the scenes, controlling everything.

Liu Qizhan thought he had been careful enough, but he didn't expect Gu Yanqing to be so difficult to deal with.

From the very beginning, Gu Yanqing had been madly targeting the nobles in the capital. Liu Qizhan only regarded Gu Yanqing as a reformer like Zhang Xiang, and never thought that Gu Yanqing had other intentions.

"You've been holding back for so many years, just to expose what's happening in Luozhou? You want to ruin my reputation and destroy my Liu Family Army!"

Liu Qizhan looked at Gu Yanqing with great resentment, and his voice was particularly vicious.

He knew very well that with Gu Yanqing's skills, it would be easy for him to kill him and Kong Liangzhen without anyone noticing.

But Gu Yanqing did not kill them, but waited for fifteen years!

because.

Gu Yanqing wanted the truth! He wanted all the people in the world to know what happened to the people of Luozhou City back then!

He wanted to nail Liu Qizhan and his Liu Family Army to the pillar of shame in the history of Qingyun Kingdom!

"Gu Yanqing, you are too naive. Do you think I will tell the world what happened back then?"

Liu Qizhan narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Yanqing proudly.

"Liu Qizhang, we've got evidence of your collusion with Dai Yue. We've also found all the wealth you've accumulated through years of murder and robbery, as well as... the weapons you crafted privately! Each and every one of these could kill you! If you're not thinking about yourself, don't you think about your family?"

As Gu Yanqing spoke, his eyes lingered on Liu Cheng'an and Madam Liu for a moment.

At this time, Liu Cheng'an's face was pale and his eyes were blank.

He didn't know why everything changed overnight.

His always respected father should be the patron saint of Qingyun Kingdom! Why...

He would be so crazy!

"family?"

After hearing Gu Yanqing's words, Liu Qizhan seemed to be slightly shaken.

He turned around and looked at his son, his wife, and concubines who were not far behind him.

The hand holding the long sword loosened slightly, and Liu Qizhan slowly took two steps back. He seemed to have suddenly become a little older.

"If I... tell you everything that happened back then, can you save my family's lives?" Liu Qizhan said hesitantly.

"As long as you confess everything, His Majesty will be lenient with the Liu family members because of Liu Cheng'an's meritorious service over the years. Moreover, the Liu family army is still there, and His Majesty needs to appease them."

Gu Yanqing replied coldly.

Although Liu Qizhan and Kong Liangzhen were ruthless, most of the Liu family army's soldiers were innocent, and Liu Cheng'an was a rare loyal and capable general!

"What about you?" Liu Qizhang suddenly glanced at Gu Yanqing and said in a serious tone, "Back then, it was Kong Liangzhen's men who colluded with the nobles of Luozhou and killed your entire family. Although I didn't agree with his proposal at first, I finally compromised for the sake of power and wealth."

Having said that, Liu Qizhang took another step back and came to Madam Liu and the others: "Gu Yanqing, except for your sister, your entire family is dead. Would you be so kind as to let my son and my family go? Aren't you afraid that they will seek revenge on you in the future?"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Qizhan swung the sword in his hand violently and pierced Madam Liu's chest.

"Old...Master..."

Madam Liu widened her eyes and looked at her husband in disbelief.

"It's better for you to die in my hands than in the hands of your enemies, hahahaha!"

Liu Qizhan went crazy. By the time Liu Cheng'an reacted, Liu Qizhan had already killed most of the women in the Liu family. He even spared no effort in killing the maids and servants.

"Dad, stop! Stop!" Liu Cheng'an struggled to get up, raised his spear with a furious look, and blocked Liu Qizhan's sword.

"Son, do you think Gu Yanqing will let us go? Daddy is doing this for your own good. You should come with Daddy!"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Qizhan rushed towards Liu Chengan without hesitation.

All this happened in just a moment. When Gu Yanqing came to his senses, Liu Cheng'an's spear had already pierced Liu Qizhan's chest.

The dust has settled.

The night wind was cold, and Gu Yanqing sighed softly in his heart.

This old man is still scheming even until his death.

But forget it.

The flames filled the sky, seemingly diluting the thick blood-red color in the Liu Mansion. Liu Cheng'an fell to the ground, stunned as he watched Liu Qizhang, pierced by a spear, spit out blood...

**

Although Liu Qizhan was executed, Kong Liangzhen was captured alive. The heinous crimes committed by their group in Luozhou were finally made public.

The fact that Liu Cheng'an killed Liu Qizhan with his own hands for the sake of justice was also widely circulated in the capital. Emperor Jianping pardoned Liu Cheng'an and Liu Ruyue, the brother and sister, for this.

The Liu family is gone, but Liu Cheng'an and Liu Ruyue, brother and sister, are at least still alive. After the Liu family army is appeased, the people in the team will be disbanded and incorporated into other armies.

it's all over.

On the day when the Liu Mansion was searched, it was Li Ershan who led the men.

Liu Cheng'an and Liu Ruyue took nothing with them and left the capital silently.

On the day they left Beijing, Gu Yanqing and Jiang Jiang stood at the city wall, quietly watching the two familiar figures walk out of the city gate.

"What do you think will happen to them in the future?"

Jiang Jiang spoke lightly.

The main reason why His Majesty spared the lives of Liu Cheng'an and Liu Ruyue was to appease the soldiers of the Liu family army.

The military generals who had connections with Liu Qizhan and Kong Liangzhen were thrown into prison and awaited execution, while the remaining soldiers of the Liu family army were all innocent and brave and good at fighting.

Emperor Jianping could not suppress the Liu family army all at once. He still needed the Liu family army, but he could not completely trust them.

Sparing Liu Cheng'an's life is to tell those people that Your Majesty is merciful and will treat them well in the future.

"Before Liu Qizhang died, he killed his own family with his own hands. His purpose was to force Liu Cheng'an to take action against him. He wanted to save his son's life."

Gu Yanqing seemed to recall Liu Qizhan's madness before his death.

Although he did not kill his enemy with his own hands, seeing his enemy die at the hands of his own son was a relief.

"Liu Qizhang thought he had won the bet, but he didn't know that I never intended to take Liu Chengan's life."

It is said that a son pays for his father’s debts, but what if this son is kind and innocent?

Gu Yanqing has always felt that every wrong has its perpetrator and that no innocent people should be involved, including the children of the enemy.

"That's because you are a kind-hearted person, but that old bastard Liu Qizhan is a mean-spirited person." Jiang Jiang silently took Gu Yanqing's hand.

She knew best in her heart that although Gu Yanqing looked cold-blooded and ruthless, he was actually kinder and more upright than anyone else.

[Jiang Jiang: Our Gu Xiang has a great figure and a very positive outlook!]

It’s great to meet him in this life.
