On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

"Wait!" Liu Hanyang interrupted abruptly, "You mean, you want to personally submit a petition? Humph, how can you, a servant and steward, be qualified to offer advice to His Majesty?"

"Oh, considering the current situation, the Gu family won't have much better luck for a few days. Lin Zhen is no longer the playboy he once was. He has never stopped targeting the Gu family. That Gu Beichen is simply an incredibly foolish idiot. He's been defeated time and time again, yet he still thinks highly of himself, is conceited, and self-righteous. Oh, I won't associate with someone who is doomed to fail like this."

"You mean, the Gu family is finished?"

"Within two months, they will surely be finished! How dare those utterly foolish individuals seize Liaodong disaster relief funds and grain at such a sensitive time? Don't they know that Lin Zhen has already begun his investigation? Once the evidence is irrefutable, the Gu family empire will crumble. With the help of the Grand Protector, I will return to the court and resume my official duties. By then, I will naturally be qualified to advise Your Majesty."

Gu Nanshan continued, "Lin Zhenxian will surely be defeated and killed. Daqian will be in imminent danger by then, and Your Majesty will not miss even the slightest glimmer of hope. At that time, I will have the Zoroastrians take command of Lin Zhenxian's soldiers again, and recruit Zoroastrians from the public to fight against Nanchu. Even though many of them are ordinary people, they are truly fearless of death!"

Even if faced with a bottomless abyss, a mountain of swords, or a sea of ​​fire, as long as Ahura's oracle descends, they will forge ahead without hesitation. Furthermore, there are many Zoroastrians in Southern Chu. When the war breaks out, the Zoroastrians of Southern Chu will assassinate their generals and ministers, plunging Southern Chu into civil strife. We'll seize the opportunity to defeat the Southern Chu army and then turn around and take the imperial city! "Hmph, that hairless little emperor can't stop this massive army."

At this point, Gu Nanshan once again leaned back in his chair, his fingertips gently stirring the tea leaves floating in the bowl, his tone filled with a sense of leisure and confidence: "When I ascend to the throne, you, a founding hero, will naturally enjoy an unparalleled position of prominence. By then, you can ask for anything you want."

After hearing this, Liu Hanyang's brows didn't relax, but instead tightened. He pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask worriedly, "But once you ascend the throne, what will happen to the Zoroastrians? Will they watch you seize power?"

"Then the Zoroastrian Church will become the state religion."

"You're courting your own death! Those Zoroastrians are incredibly ambitious and will not be easily tamed. I'm afraid it won't be long before they rise up against you!"

"Hahahaha, I'm not panicking, so why should you? Once everything is settled, I'll naturally find a way to wipe out Zoroastrianism and leave no future troubles. But a mere religious organization actually dares to share the world with me. What gives them the right? Humph."

Gu Nanshan sneered, leisurely picking up the teacup and taking a sip, his demeanor revealing a calm and confident demeanor. He then fixed his gaze on Liu Hanyang.

Liu Hanyang was secretly calculating in his mind.

Choosing to cooperate with Gu Nanshan would be a serious crime of treason. But Lin Zhen clearly wanted to kill him, and since he was already in a desperate situation with no way out, he might as well give it a try.

If I succeed, I will be a founding hero. If not, I will live in the mountains with my family and become a rich man!

As for Lin Zhen’s revenge, I will take it another day.

"Okay, I agree to cooperate, but you have to ensure the safety of me and my family!"

"No problem! Sir Liu, without further delay, you need to pack up all your valuables in your home before tonight, organize all your valuables, and leave the capital with your family as soon as possible."

"Ah? Why? You have to give me some time to prepare?" Liu Hanyang looked stunned, and his words were a little hesitant.

Gu Nanshan cast a hint of disdain, and said in a cold tone, "Ready? Sir Liu, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave tomorrow."

"What do you mean?" Liu Hanyang broke out in a cold sweat.

Gu Nanshan said, "Lin Zhen not only killed your daughter, but he also openly let you know. It's obvious that he has murderous intentions towards you as well. He will definitely take action tomorrow at the latest, or tonight at the earliest. If you don't want to die, leave now!"

When Liu Hanyang heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He took a deep breath and said, "Hiss...Okay, I'll go and have them pack up now, but...what about this house and all the belongings? There are so many things that can't be moved away just like that."

"It's all right. Leave me a written receipt, and I'll take care of the rest of the sale. I'll make sure the money I earn is safely delivered to Hejian, the Zoroastrian base. You can stay here for a while and come back when the war between Nanchu and Daqian begins."

"Okay, I'll trust you this time."

After he finished speaking, he slowly stood up, walked out of the study with heavy steps, instructed the maids and servants, and began to pack his bags.

However, Gu Nanshan looked at his back and smiled coldly.

......

The afterglow of summer seemed to linger on the sky, leaving Liu Hanyang ample time to get everything in order. As night fell quietly over the earth like a veil, he dismissed his servants and left the city with his wife, concubine, Liu Shuyao's sister Liu Yuying, and their newborn son.

Outside the city, on the winding country roads of Fengqi Village, several carriages were waiting silently. The two sides exchanged secret codes, confirmed each other's identities, and then left the capital.

In this quietness caressed by the moonlight, Gu Nanshan slowly walked out from a hidden forest. His steps were light, as if he didn't want to disturb the tranquility of the night.

Accompanying him into the Moonlight Land was a mysterious man whose appearance was unlike that of a person from the Central Plains. He was wearing a robe as white as snow, with a blazing flame pattern on the chest, and a pure white hat on his head.

Gu Nanshan's eyes were deep as he whispered to the dark-skinned, burly foreigner beside him, "Tell your elders that I've already taken care of things. Send me what I want as soon as possible, or we'll both be destroyed."

Upon hearing this, the foreigner's lips curled up into a smile that looked particularly eerie in the night. That smile contained both playfulness and a chilling chill that made one's heart tremble. "Haha, don't worry, Mr. Gu. I've seen that little girl, and she's truly a beauty. I think our elders will really like this furnace tripod."

"I said what I want!"

The man looked around and said something else: "Liu Hanyang's concubines are not bad either. It seems that the people at the branch temple can have a good time again."

Gu Nanshan's expression was cold. He waved his hand gently, and a shadow suddenly appeared behind him. Then, a sharp dagger was silently pressed against the man's lower back.

The man raised his hands above his head and laughed dryly, his voice a mixture of embarrassment and flattery. "Uh... hehe, Brother Gu, why are you so angry? It was just a joke. Don't worry, once our elders have spoken, they can't be retracted. Those five hundred suits of light armor will be delivered within twenty days."

"That's better, hum." Gu Nanshan snorted coldly, his eyes as cold as ice. He turned and strode towards the city gate, muttering to himself, "Liu Hanyang, don't blame me. If you have to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being too stupid."

After saying this, his figure gradually merged into the shadow of the city gate, leaving only a trace of determination and coldness.
