The Gu family in the Northern Dynasties was deeply trapped in the secrets of the horseshoe. In order to get out of trouble, he had to marry his daughter to the Yuwen family in advance.
The news soon spread from Pingcheng to Jiangbian.
Then, Chen Duan knew.
"This, it's me who has caused trouble to the Gu family!"
Even though Chen Duan was a cunning and suspicious superior with a heart of stone, he felt a little bit guilty when he heard such news.
A Qing had a deep affection for him, so even though he knew that his parents and relatives were in the Northern Dynasty, he still told the truth about the horseshoe.
Chen Duan only cared about his own gain and did not help the Gu family hide it.
Horseshoes instantly became popular along the entire river.
With such "big fanfare", how could the Northern Dynasty not hear the news?
Although it was not leaked by the Gu family, it was related to the Gu family.
Therefore, the Gu family in the Northland became the target of public criticism.
If you don't do it right, your life will be in danger!
"Aqing is sincere to me, but I caused her parents to be imprisoned!"
Chen Duan stood by the river, looking at the military camp on the other side and the north further away, feeling increasingly guilty.
Because he was holding a letter in his hand, written by Aqing.
In the letter, Aqing told him in detail the development and current situation of Guangcheng.
In Guangcheng, she prospered maritime trade, reclaimed wasteland, made salt and sugar, built bridges and paved roads...
She was really managing the territory for him.
She also really worked hard to raise food, salary and logistical needs for him.
Regarding her parents, she only briefly mentioned: "My father and mother miss their homeland and want to return south in the near future!"
"Silly Qing! Why are you so stupid?"
"I'm in Jiangling. Opposite me are the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty. I, I know what the 'truth' is better than you."
"What's the meaning of 'missing my homeland'? It's obvious that I've been involved and cannot gain a foothold in the Northern Dynasty!"
"...Aqing! You are so stupid!"
It's so stupid that it makes people feel bad.
Report good news but not bad news!
Be considerate and considerate of the other party's mistakes without any complaints!
stupid!
How silly!
But he was so cute and respectable, which made him feel distressed!
"Aqing! Don't worry! The root cause of this matter is me, and I will never let your parents and family be harmed in the slightest!"
Chen Duan clenched the letter and his eyes became determined.
As the second-in-command in the Southern Dynasty, Liang Wang Chen Duan not only had tens of thousands of troops, he also placed many spies in the Northern Dynasty.
Although Chen Duan is a military commander, he is rough on the outside and subtle on the inside, and is very scheming.
As a spy in the Northern Dynasty, he was only used to collect intelligence or do some very important things.
Chen Duan rarely uses it unless necessary.
It will not be used on a large scale.
But this time, Chen Duan fought for his silly Aqing!
He sent a secret message to gather all the spies operating in Pingcheng.
He designated a rescue plan and said: All Gu family members must be brought out of the Northern Dynasty safely at all costs!
…
In Gu Yi's study, a man in black Hufu stood bowed.
Gu Yi looked at it carefully and asked softly: "You said you are from Prince Liang?"
"Yes! Servant Shadow Eleven is the shadow guard of His Highness Prince Liang."
"The King of Liang heard that Gu Langjun wanted to return to his homeland, so he ordered his slaves to lead his troops to escort him."
Shadow Eleven?
Hearing such a very distinctive name, Gu Yi knew that this should be a very secret force of King Liang - Shadow Guards!
Most of these guards have been trained since childhood and are known for their numerical ranking.
They are not independent people, they are just tools of their master.
Shadow Eleven and so on should not be fixed.
When this Shadow Eleven dies, a new Shadow Eleven will take over.
"Shadow Guards, how many of you are there in total?"
"Also, our Gu family has a total population of thirty-seven, and there are still some weak ones. If we leave Pingcheng, we will definitely attract attention."
Gu Yi knew that his daughter had already made arrangements.
In fact, even the two brothers Gu Yi and Gu Ji had prepared a "retreat".
However, since all the people from King Liang are here, they simply don’t waste their resources.
However, Gu Yi had to confirm whether Prince Liang's people were reliable.
"Mr. Lang, please rest assured, there are forty of us in total."
When Ying Eleven said this, he felt a little distressed.
Alas, after operating in Pingcheng for more than ten years, we have reached such a situation.
But this time, I guess I have to give it all up.
In addition to people, there are——
"In addition, we have a secret passage. You can leave through the secret passage!"
The secret passage leading directly to the outside of the city was the result of more than ten years of hard work by the shadow guards.
Although it doesn’t necessarily have to be used once and discarded.
However, when Shadow Guards do things, they always have to anticipate the worst possibilities in advance.
If the Northern Dynasties were aroused to be suspicious during the retreat, this secret passage would really be unusable.
And shadow guards like them, once their identities are exposed, they will never be able to return to Pingcheng!
They can only return to the Southern Dynasty, or go to other remote cities to continue lurking.
But Pingcheng, as the capital of the Northern Dynasties, could only be abandoned!
It was a huge loss to both Shadow Guard and King Liang.
"Okay! I'll help you all then!"
Gu Yi was quite surprised when he heard that there was a secret passage.
He also gained confidence in these shadow guards.
So, the Gu family started to get busy.
On the surface, it was for Gu Youyi and Yu Wenheng's late morning ceremony.
In fact, it was for the whole family to retreat.
The sixth day of April is a good time to get married!
Gu Youyi wore a wedding dress and slowly walked out of Gu's house with a fan in hand.
The dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight dollars had already been sent to the General's Mansion.
As the woman, the Gu family also has to invite guests.
It was noisy and brightly lit all night.
The next day, the Gu family fell into silence.
The neighbors didn't doubt it either.
The evening prayers are over, so we can't continue to rejoice.
But, soon, someone discovered something was wrong——
After returning home on the third day, Gu Youyi and Yu Wenheng saw the Gu family with the door locked!
When the door was opened, it was empty.
People are gone!
Not only Gu Yi and other masters, but also some loyal servants brought from the Southern Dynasties.
The study is empty!
The Gu family's book collection was brought from the Southern Dynasties to the Northern Dynasties.
Now, it has been taken away again!
"This this--"
Gu Youyi was dumbfounded as she watched the scenes of people leaving the house empty.
Even Yu Wenheng felt ridiculous.
Gu family, what are you doing?
Could it be that he was frightened by the rumors?
It shouldn’t be!
The Gu family has married the Yuwen family and is now one of their own.
The rumors outside can't hurt them at all.
Also, are you saying that the rumors are not false and that Mrs. Gu does have "different intentions"?
But, before they left, why did they marry Gu Youyi to him?
For a real aristocratic family, daughters are also very precious, okay?
Unless, they abandoned Gu Youyi from the beginning!
The treasure he thought was actually Gu's abandoned son!
Yu Wenheng couldn't explain what he was feeling inside, while Gu Youyi was completely confused: What's going on? It’s okay if my father doesn’t want me, why doesn’t he even want my mother?
Mr. Xie?
Ahem, she has been drugged for a long time...
