Thanks to the secret room's ventilation system and abundant food, Gu stayed in the secret room for about three or four days.

Seeing the air blown in through the vent finally clear of ash, he knew it was time to get out.

But now that the situation outside is unclear, he has to be careful, otherwise he might just leave the tiger's den and go to the wolf's den.

Gu Fang gently pushed open the door of the secret room, walked up the long stairs, and he came to the place where the main hall of the ancestral hall was originally.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Gu Fang could clearly see the tragedy of the ancestral hall.The general framework of the ancestral hall is still there, but it is only the framework.Those tablets that were originally enshrined in high places have disappeared.

Carefully avoiding the scorched beams that fell from the top, he stepped on a thick layer of ash and approached the entrance of the ancestral hall.

The door of the ancestral hall was burnt to a dilapidated state, and the black wooden supports were lying there, which caused a little trouble for Gu Fang's actions.

"Squeak—" a toothache sound came from under his feet, and he had to hold on to the unstable wood beside him to barely maintain his balance.

To be honest, it's hard to walk on these logs with bare feet.

When Gu Fang finally walked out of the ruins, he was exposed in front of dozens of soldiers.As soon as they saw me, they immediately became vigilant, and each of them raised their sharp long swords to face the suspicious figure who came out of the ruins. .

This kind of scene is not something Gu Fang, who has never seen any big scenes, can bear. He subconsciously wants to back up, but after taking a few deep breaths, he finally endured it.

"Are you the arsonists?" With the experience of losing people but not losing battles, Gu Fang didn't care that he didn't even have a pair of shoes and looked very embarrassed, so he preemptively drank.

"Who are you?" A man in dark brown armor walked out of the sword array, who looked like the commander of these soldiers.

"Gu Fang." Gu Fang didn't hide anything.

"The Gu family?" The man squinted his eyes and asked again.

"Yes, but he is already a "dead person"." Gu Fang thought of the scene of the past few days again, and it took a lot of effort to swallow the sneer that reached his throat.

"You are a guardian." To his surprise, the general guessed Gu Fang's identity, "Come with us."

"Okay." He had no choice.

I don't know if it was Gu Fang's illusion, but he felt that the general's attitude towards me was much better after he learned that he was the guardian of the spirit, and the soldiers under him were not as nervous as before.

Gu Fang obediently asked a soldier to put shackles on his hands, and then walked quietly among the soldiers.

On the road from the ancestral hall to the gate of An Guogong's mansion, he deeply realized that the Gu family was really doomed this time from the sight of broken walls and ruins everywhere.

Gu Fang was not reconciled.

In the first 18 years of his life, the Anguo government did not give him a little bit of benefits, but this time he will spend the rest of his life with Gu Yan and the others to bear the evil consequences of these man-made crimes.

Gu Fang sincerely hoped that the person who came to settle accounts with the Gu family this time was a sensible person.But he frowned and swept around the soldiers around me, and suddenly felt that he was in danger.

He didn't pay attention just now, but now it seems that these people have a lot of evil spirits.

When I arrived at the gate of the once magnificent Duke An's Mansion, the general actually took me to a carriage that was already waiting there.

"You have such a good attitude towards the enemy?" Gu Fang taunted in a vague mood.

The general ignored him, let alone him, not even one of the soldiers under him changed his face because of Gu Fang's words.

If Gu Fang hadn't been able to protect himself now, at any other time, he would have looked up to these soldiers.

"Yo, it's true that someone hasn't been found." But the coachman was noisy, "I didn't believe the marshal said that there were still people who weren't found."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Fang carefully, rubbed his chin and wondered what he was thinking.

Gu Fang really hated the way he looked at me, and his feet were already bled.So he didn't wait for the general to speak, he climbed directly into the carriage, then lifted the curtain with his shackled hands and sat in.

"It looks a little arrogant." Before Gu Fang could sit still, he heard the annoying coachman and the previous general say.

"Okay, let's go." The general's voice sounded a little helpless.

Gu Fang didn't care about these, he let out a breath, and then leaned gently on the carriage.

He naturally knew that his actions were reckless, but he was about to die, couldn't he just do whatever he wanted?

After setting off on the road, the driver didn't say anything, which made Gu Fang feel a lot more relaxed, and he had time to sort out his thoughts.Then he discovered what he had overlooked just now.

The entire An Guogong Mansion is terribly "clean". Does this mean that the Gu family is not dead?Or is it not dead yet?

The carriage drove out of the city at a moderate speed.After about half an hour, he felt the carriage stop.

"Please." The coachman raised the curtain and gestured "please" to Gu Fang.

Gu Fang looked at the driver quietly for a while, and then got out of the carriage expressionlessly.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he was dazzled by the overwhelming evil spirit.Why is there such a big evil spirit in this camp?Who are they?

"I'm afraid now?" The driver leaned over to Gu Fang and said gloatingly.

"Thank you for your concern." Gu Fang was still unmoved, he walked past the coachman without squinting, and followed behind the previous general.

The general brought Gu Fang to the largest tent in the camp, and asked Gu Fang to wait outside first, and then he said respectfully inside: "Marshal, we found a missing Gu family."

"Bring him in."

From the voice, it sounds like their marshal is not a ruthless one. Why is this tent the most evil spirit?

The general lifted the curtain of the tent, and walked in with Gu Fang.

The coachman went in with them without hesitation.

Entering the tent, Gu Fang saw the man with a gentle voice, but just one glance made Gu Fang know that his previous judgment was wrong.

What is it not to be a ruthless person? The evil aura on this marshal sitting not far away is so heavy that it is already black!

"It's just in time." The Marshal glanced at them calmly, then stood up from his seat.

He walked slowly in front of Gu Fang, the gleam in his eyes made Gu Fang feel like he was the prey being stared at by the hunter, and he couldn't avoid it if he couldn't move.

"Click." Gu Fang's shackles fell off.

"The execution of Gu's family is about to begin. Come too." The marshal said in a soft tone that made Gu Fang feel uneasy.

He couldn't hold on any longer, and couldn't help taking a few steps back to distance himself from the marshal: "I'm also from the Gu family."

"But I don't want to kill you now." The marshal said with a smile, "I remember you."

Gu Da was shocked, and suddenly realized that the marshal should be the person sitting on the horse he saw the day Gu's house was on fire.

It turned out that it was not his illusion at that time!

"Let's go, take him to see his relatives." The marshal strode out.

loved ones?Not anymore.

Gu Fang thought that the marshal must have miscalculated his feelings for the Gu family.

This is probably a scene that only appears in his dreams.

A total of 120 members of the Gu clan in the Duke of Anguo's mansion were tied up from behind and knelt there "in a neat line".

Gu Fang took a quick look, and found that An Guogong Gu Yan, An Guogong's wife, and their children were all in the front row.

And he, the abandoned son who was never looked down upon by them and was pronounced "dead" by them when he arrived, looked at them condescendingly from the stage.

Although I can't see their faces and expressions clearly, Gu Fang still feels very happy from the bottom of his heart!But after the joyful mood, unspeakable sorrow surged in his heart.

"Lian Zong! Don't be complacent!"

Suddenly, Gu Yan, who was tied up and looked very disheveled, rubbed his knees on the ground a little bit forward, he raised his head with difficulty, and laughed loudly in the direction of Gu Fang and the others.

Since there was still a distance between the platform where Gu Fang was standing and the execution place below, he couldn't hear most of Gu Yan's words, only a few tearing and exhausted roars reached his ears.

Lianzong?Isn't that the first prince's name?Could it be that the marshal standing in front of him now is the eldest prince who was demoted to the frontier ten years ago?

If this is the case, Gu Fang can understand why this group of people has such a strong evil spirit.

"You usurped the imperial power like this! The emperor and the prince will not let you go!" Gu Yan was still yelling at the execution ground, seeing his appearance as a loyal subject being framed by treacherous officials, Gu Fang suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

"Imperial power? The emperor and the prince?" Faced with Gu Yan's accusation, Lian Zong was still very calm. It could even be said that there was a hint of a smile in his voice, "Since Anguo Gong's mansion was breached by me, your Gu family was defeated by us." It has been four days since I took you, do you see that my great father is in charge of you?"

Lian Zong's voice is not loud enough to shake people's hearts.

"What do you mean?" Gu Yan breathed unevenly, and he stared at Lian Zong who was aloof.

"It means that the person you are loyal to is already in danger!" Lian Zong's mood seemed more cheerful, and he even laughed in front of Gu Fang with great interest.

The elusiveness of Lian Zong's character was beyond Gu Fang's expectation.This made him involuntarily put away all distracting thoughts and concentrate on dealing with everything that might happen next.

Under the stage, Gu Yan was still scolding Lian Zong for his evil deeds, and his wives and children were also crying bitterly.

No matter how you look at this scene, how miserable it is.But it didn't affect Lian Zong.

When Gu Fang saw that Lian Zong pulled out the saber at his waist and raised it high, and then dropped it quickly, he knew that the fate of the Gu family had come to an end on this day.Sure enough, those executioners who originally held the giant blade came to the execution ground one after another.

At this time, Gu Fang was once again stimulated by Lian Zong, because he clearly heard Lian Zong say to him: "Let the Gu family come and see the Gu family off."

Gu Fang only felt that the clothes on his back were soaked in cold sweat. If it weren't for his strong willpower, he should have knelt down before the avenger Lian Zong at this moment.

I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, but Gu Fang still didn't see the scene where the members of the Gu family were beheaded.

One of Lian Zong's subordinates suddenly broke in and stopped the execution.After reading the documents brought by his subordinates, Lian Zong asked Gu to put him down with a gentle expression, and recalled all the executioners.

Gu Fang was quietly and obediently brought into a cage by Lian Zong's men.He didn't worry about anything, but entered the cage very readily.

This caused his guards to give him a high look.

Gu stayed in the cage for three days.During this period, he saw that although the soldiers in the barracks came and went in a hurry, they did not intend to start a war. He thought the situation in the capital was fairly stable.

Thinking of this, Gu Fang looked coldly at the guard who had been chattering at him for three days——the coachman.

He seemed to be particularly keen to tell Gu Fang what happened back then, as if he wanted to use this method to make Gu Fang feel guilty about Lian Zong.

What a joke.

"If it wasn't for the fact that the marshal was so lucky, he would have been killed by your father long ago!" the guard said, spitting all over the place.

"Yeah." Gu Fang changed his position and lay down, not listening at all.

However, Gu Fang still learned something about the true face of his father, Gu Yan.Gu Yan is a treacherous minister with wolfish ambitions.Otherwise, how could he have colluded with the concubine and the prince to kill the former queen and framed the exiled prince?

Judging from the guard's narration, Lian Zong used the fact that Gu Yan colluded with the former princess to treason and cooperate with the enemy as a raft to arrest Gu's family.And this was also the first thing this great prince did after returning to Beijing.

After that, Lian Zong led an army to surround the capital.

"The former princess?" Gu Fang rolled his eyes and sat upright.

"It's your aunt, she was the former princess. Didn't expect that?" The guard sat on the side, shaking his leg slightly, looking a little careless.

Gu Fang smiled disdainfully.It has been so many years since the previous dynasty perished, this "princess" title was probably given to his aunt by Lian Zong himself.

"What do you Marshal want you to tell me so many things?" Even if Gu Fang hadn't received any political education because he wasn't favored, by this time, he could still hear the intention of the guard telling him these things.

Lian Zong must need his help somewhere.

Facing Gu Fang's straightforward question, the guard left a sentence, "Marshal likes smart people." Then he got up suddenly and left.

The guard's last words bothered Gu Fang like a puzzle.

Until the next day, Gu Fang saw Lian Zong walking slowly towards him alone in the dazzling sunlight.
