Jiangnan Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall belongs to one of the thirty-two sects, and its influence around Jiangnan County is very large, but it is limited to the land of Jiangnan.But the Thunderbolt Hall is still very ambitious and wants to go further, so it has been seeking external expansion.Zhang's maiden brother is actually not a high status in the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall, he is only an outer deacon, and he is regarded as an art investment teacher, and he is valued by the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall because of his excellent business ability.It was precisely because the Divine Thunderbolt Hall was seeking to expand, and the three princes could not find too powerful reinforcements on the side of the imperial court, so they turned their attention to the rivers and lakes, so the two hit it off, and it didn't matter how much Gu Yuanzhong said to reach an agreement.It can be said that Gu Yuanzhong's luck is really good, he just did this by building a bridge on the front line, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was he Gu Yuanzhong who joined forces in it, helping the three princes to pull a big boost, and at the same time, it also made the three princes value it, and was also grateful by the Thunderbolt Hall.Pulling Senior Brother Liu to say a few words, the housekeeper came to report that some princes and nobles around the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion had also made an appointment to come together and send gifts to congratulate Gu Yuanzhong on his promotion to the Praetorian Guard.When the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion fell before, these people wouldn't even look at the people of the Loyal and Brave Mansion.But the news in the capital is transmitted extremely fast, and big and small things can spread throughout the capital in one day.Gu Yuanzhong had just returned from Western Xinjiang a few days ago, and he only went to report to the Praetorian Guard yesterday, and they got the news today and came to give gifts.For their group of aristocratic princes, the ancestral tomb of the Gu family in the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion is smoking and clinging to the three princes, I am afraid that they are really going to turn over, and they will not lose money if they make a good investment at this time.Of course, Gu Yuanzhong, who was proud of the spring breeze at this time, didn't care about this, he had never been so beautiful and proud since he was a child.He immediately had a feast prepared to welcome the guests, and then went out to entertain them himself."
Congratulations to Brother Gu on being promoted to the Praetorian Guard and joining the army, and he has finally returned from the bitter cold land of Western Xinjiang.""
Haha, Brother Gu is valued by the three princes now, and his progress is just around the corner.""
At the beginning, I thought that Brother Gu was not an ordinary person, but now after several years of training in Western Xinjiang, he can finally soar to the sky."
Gu Yuanzhong stood in the crowd, welcomed everyone in one by one, and said modestly while arching his hand: "Where is it, it's just to do things for the third prince and get a job." ”At this time, a subordinate walked up to Gu Yuanzhong and said something, Gu Yuanzhong was proud at this time, and he didn't hear it too clearly, he couldn't help frowning: "What did you say?"
Louder, haven't you eaten?
”The subordinate hurriedly said loudly: "The eldest prince is back!"
”For a moment, Gu Yuanzhong and Zhang were stunned, and the expressions of the other people present also became a little playful.Although they didn't think much of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion before, they still knew something about the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.The matter about Gu Cheng is actually one of the reasons why they look down on the Marquis of Zhongyong.It is normal for the noble family to compete for power and profit, and some of the great families of the rivers and lakes are even more ruthless, not to mention the royal family, and each generation of heirs is stepping on the blood of the same brothers.The stronger the family, the more serious the competition will be, unless someone as strong as Murong Hou is too perverted, which directly makes the disciples in the family disheartened, and they don't even have the courage to compete with it.There are only two or three cats of this size left in the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and the price is dropped for the sake of an empty title brother cannibalism.And the most important thing is that you Gu Yuanzhong have no conscience.The last capable cultivator in the entire Zhongyong Marquis Mansion was Gu Cheng's father, who was quite famous in the army, but unfortunately died young, and in the end, he did not let the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion rise again.Gu Yuanzhong's position as a general is still thanks to Gu Cheng's father's merits, but now you are doing this to your eldest brother's only heir, which is inevitably too inferior.Although they are not good things, they still look down on Gu Yuanzhong's actions, and the pattern is a little smaller.At this time, Gu Lao Taijun was seriously ill but not dead, but Gu Cheng came back at such a time, and it seemed that he had a good show.The princes present glanced at each other, with no expression on their faces, but there was a hint of good show in their eyes.Gu Yuanzhong also glanced at the subordinate with hatred at this time, it's good to say this kind of thing secretly, why are you yelling so loudly?
The subordinate also felt a little aggrieved when he met Gu Yuanzhong's gaze, did you dislike me for being quiet, and now you dislike me for being loud?
With a light snort, Gu Yuanzhong couldn't care about the strange gazes of the others, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure it's Gu Cheng who is back?"
Did you read that right?
”The subordinate hurriedly said: "Although the eldest prince has been gone for two years, and his appearance has changed a little now, but the villain used to guard the door in the Hou Mansion every day, how could he be wrong?"
”Gu Yuanzhong's face was a little gloomy, although he had told Zhang before that he didn't care about Gu Cheng coming back, but at this time, when he was proud, Gu Cheng came back, but don't spoil his good deeds.At this time, Senior Brother Liu of the Divine Thunderbolt Hall said a little strangely in the back: "Senior Brother Gu, the eldest prince they are talking about is your brother?"
Your brother is back, why are they so strange?
”Because Gu Zheng's uncle is the deacon of Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall, this Senior Brother Liu and Gu Zheng have always been called senior brothers.Gu Zheng's eyes rolled, and he suddenly sighed: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, my uncle died young, so the entire Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is only supported by my father.Therefore, many people in the Hou Mansion said that this title should be inherited by my father and then passed on to me.But my eldest brother was not convinced, thinking that he was the eldest son and he was qualified to inherit the title, so he ran out to join the Jingye Division, and he had to compete with me for this title.In fact, I don't care about the title of the so-called Marquis of Zhongyong for a long time, and after worshipping in the White Cloud Temple, I know that the so-called fame and fortune are just a passing cloud, but unfortunately my brother thinks that I still have to fight with him. ”Senior Brother Liu snorted coldly when he heard this: "I don't know how to lift!"
Senior Brother Gu didn't say you, what should be yours is yours, why don't you fight?
Although even the Daqian royal family has said nonsense such as establishing a long man or not establishing a virtuous person, which one of the people who can really hold the throne over the years is not a truly capable emperor?
Even those big families on the rivers and lakes pay attention to the capable first.Don't worry, wait for me to help you out, you are half a disciple of my Divine Thunderbolt Hall, and the people of my Divine Thunderbolt Hall can't be bullied like this!
”As a person with the relationship of the Zhang family, and Gu Yuanzhong's matchmaking, Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall naturally thinks that the Gu family's father and son are their own people.Just when Gu Yuanzhong was frowning, thinking about how to face Gu Cheng later, Gu Cheng had already pushed the door in.The moment they saw Gu Cheng, everyone present was stunned for a moment.In fact, Gu Cheng rarely went out of the Hou Mansion before, so everyone present didn't remember what Gu Cheng looked like before.But right now, the demeanor shown by this young man wearing the Jingye Si Xuanjia and the double swords at his waist is extremely inconsistent with the people of the Gu family.The momentum is high-spirited and sharp, and the spirit is displayed at the same time, but there is a sense of restraint.The Gu Cheng in front of you is like a sword, you know that he may be a sword, but it is hidden in the sheath, before it is unsheathed, no one knows how sharp this sword is.Even Gu Cheng has a kind of superior's temperament, and wherever he looks, even some princes who have no real power can't help but turn their heads away.After stepping into Nanling County, Gu Cheng held an important position under Fang Zhenhai, a great thief, and then managed a county, fighting with a strong man at the grandmaster level, what he experienced and the power he once held were far beyond the ability of these idle princes, at this time, even if he did not deliberately show his momentum, it was enough to shock people's hearts.Even Gu Yuanzhong was a little afraid to admit Gu Cheng at this time.He had been in Xijiang for a few years before, and then Gu Cheng had been gone for another two years, and the Gu Cheng in front of him and the Gu Cheng in his memory were like two people.If it weren't for the appearance he looked very similar to his eldest brother when he was young, he wouldn't be sure that the person in front of him was the Gu Cheng in his memory.After being stunned for a moment, Gu Yuanzhong suddenly snorted coldly: "Gu Cheng, after being away from home for a few years, don't you even bother to call the second uncle?"
If you are not in the Hou Mansion, have you lost all your courtesies?
”Gu Cheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said directly: "Get out of the way, I'm here to see grandma today, and I don't have time to tell you this nonsense!"
”Before Gu Yuanzhong could speak, Zhang screamed angrily: "Gu Cheng!
Are you going to rebel?
Do you still have rules, do you have any of us elders?
That's how you talked to your second uncle?
”Gu Cheng's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "The rules, the rules are that you intercept all the letters that my grandmother gave me, and I don't even know that her old man is terminally ill?"
Now that my grandmother is seriously ill, I don't want to kill anyone, so get out of the way!
”Everyone present was surprised in their hearts, Gu Yuanzhong and they would still do such a thing?
That's a bit of a stretch.At this time, Gu Cheng's cold gaze looked at Zhang Shi fiercely, which made Zhang's heart, who still wanted to scold Gu Cheng, suddenly burst into his heart, and his heartbeat was extremely fast, as if he was about to jump out.She had a feeling that if she said one more word, Gu Cheng might really kill her!
Gu Cheng's evil aura has been cultivated in countless battles in the rivers and lakes, how can an ordinary woman in the Zhang family stop it?"
Sonorous!"
A sword roar sounded, Gu Zheng stopped in front of Gu Cheng with a sword, and said coldly: "Big brother, you have been away from home for so long, are you coming back now to show your majesty?"
I know you want to compete with me for the title of Marquis of Zhongyong, but you shouldn't be so presumptuous with your mother!
