General's Mansion.

The entire general's mansion was like two divided worlds. Outside, both the host and the guests were having a great time, from the princes and nobles to the servants and maids, all had happy smiles on their faces. In the backyard, the sky was full of flames and black smoke, and guards kept going in and out of the side door to put out the fire.

"How is it? Is the concubine dead?"

While Zhou was welcoming the guests with a smile, she answered the old general calmly.

"General, rest assured. I have already sent away all the servants around. Now there will be no one to put out the fire. We just need to keep the guests at bay."

The old general nodded, his face beaming with joy. He had finally been waiting for this day.

The General's Mansion and the Grand Tutor's Mansion are combined, and the Grand Tutor promises that after the marriage he will ask His Majesty to let Gu Wen garrison the border. There is no war in the border now, and Gu Wen holds the military power.

Although he was said to be stationed there, he could actually be considered to have declared himself king.

By then, the Gu family will surely be at its peak and won't have to hide in the capital. Thinking of this, old General Gu smiled so hard that his teeth couldn't see his eyes.

If one could become a local tyrant, who would be willing to walk on thin ice in the capital and be cautious in everything they say and do?

I was afraid of being attacked by the censors.

Speaking of which, when Gu Wen agreed to the marriage, he had already thought about letting the concubine go, but the eldest daughter of the Ming family didn't want to, so as a father-in-law, he naturally had to do his part.

She's just a concubine. His son is already married, so why would he care?

He just let go and did this thing. He knew Gu Wen well. He was loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Although he was cold and seemed to be carefree, he was actually not the kind of person who would do anything to avoid everything when faced with a big event. He would weigh things carefully.

That's why he deliberately chose the wedding day, as he was sure that Gu Wen would not save the concubine in front of so many people.

As for the fire in the general's mansion on the day of the wedding, he could have spread a rumor saying it was a good omen.

So this matter will be over.

The old general had a perfect idea.

Unexpectedly, the next moment he saw Gu Wen, dressed in red as a groom, riding a horse wildly on the street, his eyes bloodshot and his face ferocious and painful.

The horse neighed and the man whipped the reins.

When the old general saw that there was no wedding sedan behind him, his face changed drastically and he took a few steps forward.

"Gu Wen, what are you doing? What about tomorrow night? Where is the wedding sedan? There are so many people here, don't you have any shame? Go back quickly!"

The old general walked up to Gu Wen, raised his head and spoke in a low voice.

Seeing Gu Wen acting like a madman from behind, Zhou was really frightened and quickly asked the guests to take their seats.

Gu Wen looked at the old general coldly and sneered.

"You did it? If she dies, you guys won't have an easy life either. I will torture you!"

After saying this, under the incredulous gaze of the old general, Gu Wen hurriedly ran to the backyard. His whole body was shaking and he could not maintain his Qinggong skills at all. He tried to climb over the high wall which he had easily climbed before, but this time it took him two or three times to climb over it.

Black smoke billowed and his heart sank.

The old general reacted and his heart trembled slightly. He couldn't believe that Gu Wen would speak to him like that.

He even suspected that he had never understood this son.

Isn't he the one who cares most about appearance like him? Shouldn't he get married first?

After realizing what was happening, he quickly called out, "Quick, go stop him! Go!"

The old general also ran to the most remote and largest Shaoguangyuan at the back.

The entire general's mansion was in complete chaos.

The guests looked at each other, and finally pretended not to know what was going on.

It's not a good thing after all.

When Zhou saw the old general and his men chasing after him, her heart sank. Gu Wen was crazy, really crazy. He actually dared to leave so many princes and ministers aside and even leave the daughter of the Grand Tutor behind.
