Chapter 108: Ruthless Kendo
"You careless rebellious son! In the past three years, I have asked you to travel and increase your knowledge. Fortunately, you have become more capable! Not only have you become a hero, you have also learned how to find women! What you are looking for is the Blood Emperor's..."
The old general couldn't say those two words. He gritted his teeth in anger and raised his ruler again to strike.
In fact, the old general didn't hit him hard this time. It's not because I can't use my strength because I'm older, but because I see the helplessness behind the matter.
The old general also knew that the situation was inevitable. Who knew that the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion usually stayed in the remote Lotus Pier like a country girl?
Even if they knew she was the prime minister's daughter, who knew she would suddenly become a beautiful woman?
The old general couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart when he looked at his grandson who was kneeling on the ground and being beaten quietly without saying a word.
Originally, he was the most optimistic about this fifth grandson, but it's a pity, it's a pity.
It would be fine if the Blood Emperor was just an ordinary emperor, but the one sitting on the dragon throne now knew how to peer into the heart and search the soul. When the beautiful lady enters the palace, all the secrets will no longer be secrets.
"That's all," the old general sighed deeply, and slowly sat down while holding on to the steps. He waved to Gu Ziyu and said, "There's no point in kneeling here. Go back. The Prime Minister has already ran away overnight. The palace, I hope everything goes well with him and Shui Nanfeng can cancel Shui Nanfeng's quota as a show girl."
"Grandpa!" The candlelight in the ancestral hall swayed on the traces of Gu Ziyu's tears, "It is the grandson who is unfilial. The grandson promises that he will not cause any trouble to the family. The grandson is responsible for his own work. When the grandson dies, he will use it. Let’s use my grandson’s body to make up for this sin!”
A short knife appeared in Gu Ziyu's hand at some point. With years of experience in fighting in the arena and the strength of a hero, the old general stabbed him in the chest before he could stop him.
The old general's hand hung in the air.
Gu Zizhu and several other brothers pushed the door in and were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
At this time, a powerful force enveloped the general's mansion, and Gu Ziyu's hand holding the knife crooked, avoiding his heart. After the old general saw the person clearly, he knelt on the ground with a cane and kowtowed: "Old minister, pay homage to the Holy One!"
The person who came was none other than the current Saint, the Blood Emperor.
Seeing that Gu Ziyu was already lying in a pool of blood, the Blood Emperor stepped forward and injected his inner strength into his body to protect his vitals. He said to Gu Ziyu's brothers: "Put him on the bed quickly and find him." The doctor is here to treat you. I have something to talk with the old general, so I don’t need to wait here.”
After being nursed back to health by the Blood Emperor, Gu Ziyu's consciousness still remained clear. He stretched out his hand to stop the brothers who came to help him, slowly adjusted his body, knelt down and said to the Blood Emperor: "I am guilty, please punish me."
"I already know about your affairs." The Blood Emperor said solemnly, "As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, and you and Shui Nanfeng both abide by their duties and have never exceeded the rules, so why are you guilty? You go down and recover. .After recovering from the injury, you can go to the palace and take up the post of imperial guard."
Everyone present was in disbelief after hearing what the Blood Emperor said. The old general laughed loudly and scolded Gu Ziyu: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? You still don't thank me!"
Gu Ziyu raised her head and looked up at the solemn and solemn Blood Emperor, with waves of heat welling up in her heart. He kowtowed heavily to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Gu Ziyu, thank you!"
…………
That night, Gu Ziyu's bedroom.
"Doctor, how is my fifth brother?"
"Third Young Master, don't be anxious. Fortunately, the Fifth Young Master is physically strong, and the general is very powerful. He used his inner strength to protect his heart in time. The Fifth Young Master will recover soon."
"That's good, that's good. Doctor, hurry up and prescribe the medicine. I'll order someone to get the medicine right now."
The old general came to the bed and looked at Gu Ziyu, whose face was pale and whose chest was wrapped in blood-stained gauze. He couldn't help but reach out and touch his face.
The old general also had the strength from the Holy Realm when he was young. When he followed the late emperor on the battlefield, he achieved unparalleled glory. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured and his skills were greatly reduced. From then on, he withdrew from the court and devoted his attention to his son.
To his disappointment, none of his seven sons entered the Chongsheng Realm, and the one with the highest strength was only a minor hero.
As for the many grandchildren, the fifth child has the highest talent, and even he is not as talented as himself back then. From time to time, he would think that one day Lao Wu could even go one step further, surpass himself in one fell swoop, enter the twelfth level, and fulfill his lifelong martial arts dream for himself.
But things went counterproductive. He sighed heavily. Although His Majesty does not have to pursue this matter, as ministers, they must make a statement. He whispered to the sleeping Gu Ziyu: "My grandson, your life is given by His Majesty. You must assist the Emperor well in the future and don't let His Majesty down."
Three days later, Towering Cloud Tower.
Towering Cloud Tower is the tallest building in the downtown area. The top three floors overlook the entire downtown area. On this big day when the emperor chooses his concubine, many wealthy and wealthy children paid high prices to come to the first three floors, where they watched the convoy of beautiful ladies and talked loudly amidst the aroma of fine wine.
This is probably the time when they are closest to the emperor in their lives, because the woman they are talking about may become the emperor's woman.
"The women this time are pretty, but I feel like they are far worse than the last time." One person said.
"Last term? Last term, you were still a five- or six-year-old shit baby, right? Can you still remember what happened at that time?"
Others hooted.
"Hahahaha! When you were five or six years old, you came to see the emperor choose his concubine. You, a boy, have learned to be sensible very early! I seriously doubt that you saw something that you shouldn't have seen that day!"
"I heard from my uncle that there are some top beauties here this time. Their appearance and fame are top-notch in all time and space. Please open your donkey eyes! Open them wide. Yes! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not reminding you idiots if you missed it.”
This is also the freedom that the Blood Emperor rarely lets go, because in the Blood Emperor's view, no matter how cheerful the people discuss, she is his woman. Immaculately clean and enviable.
And on the roof of Towering Cloud Tower, in the place most easily overlooked by everyone, there were two young men standing right now. The two of them, one handsome and tall, the other as gentle as jade, are the third son Gu Zizhu and the fifth son Gu Ziyu of the General's Mansion.
"Fifth brother, this meeting is our last."
Gu Ziyu was silent. At this moment, he was wearing a black bamboo hat, and his eyes hidden under the bamboo hat were red and swollen with tears.
Yes, this meeting is the last. It was the last time I didn’t have time to say goodbye.
