Chapter 507 Brothers Recognize Each Other! (Second Update)

Tang Yueshan was so frightened he almost rolled off the bamboo bed!

Is it really necessary to be so ruthless!

They gave him another injection! And with such a thick and long needle again!

Are you sure that wasn't an injection for pigs?

Tang Yueshan wasn't afraid of being poisoned and rendered mute, but he was terrified of injections; it was an indescribable fear.

Tang Yueshan's lips twitched, and he said sarcastically, "We're comrades who fought side by side, and this is how you treat me?"

Where has the basic trust between people gone? Has it been fed to the dogs?!

Gu Jiao said without any shame, "This is already an exceptionally lenient outcome; I originally intended to poison you."

Tang Yueshan again: "...!!"

How did this girl figure out that he wanted to tattle on her?

Did he write down the words that he was going to inform on someone and claim credit for it?

Tang Yueshan glared at Gu Jiao angrily, then frowned strangely as if remembering something: "Wait, didn't you already poison me? My life is in your hands, why did you have to poison me again and make me mute?"

Gu Jiao blinked.

Tang Yueshan suddenly sat up straight: "You didn't poison me!"

Gu Jiao said seriously, "I have one!"

Tang Yueshan: "You didn't!"

Gu Jiao: "I have one!"

Tang Yueshan: "I don't believe it!"

Gu Jiao's eyes darted around: "Then I'm going to poison you and make you mute!"

Tang Yueshan: "..."

Tang Yueshan, who was neither corrupted by wealth nor subdued by power, finally succumbed to a needle and promised never to reveal what he had heard that day.

However, Gu Jiao was unconvinced: "A man's words are just lies!"

Tang Yueshan is confused. Where did he learn all this nonsense from?

Tang Yueshan was furious. Although all's fair in war, that's only on the battlefield. He wasn't that cunning in private. He wasn't like the shameless Marquis Xuanping!

Tang Yueshan, his anger rising, said sternly, "As the Grand Marshal of all the armies under heaven, I will keep my promise to keep your word. Why don't you believe me?"

"It's not impossible for me to believe you." Gu Jiao stroked her chin and looked Tang Yueshan up and down.

A sense of foreboding welled up in Tang Yueshan's heart: "What...what are you going to do?"

Gu Jiao crossed her arms, tapped her arm lightly with her fingertips, and glanced at him sideways, saying, "If you become my henchman, I will trust you and won't poison you to make you mute."

Tang Yueshan asked, puzzled, "What is a 'little henchman'?"

Gu Jiao said, "Little brother."

Tang Yueshan almost thought he'd misheard. What did this girl say? Little brother? Him?

ha!

Would a great general like him, the Grand Marshal of the Army and the People's Liberation Army, be subordinate to a mere girl?

This girl is either crazy, or she's been scared silly by the fact that the Marquis of Ding'an's mansion is keeping spies.

Indeed, although she was not born to Xiao Ling, she was still of the Marquis's bloodline. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. The Marquis of Ding'an was convicted of treason and collusion with the enemy. Where could she possibly go unscathed?

I fear I will lose favor with both His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.

Tsk tsk tsk, without the protection of these two, how will this girl get by in the future?

Gu Jiao said seriously, "You choose, either poison your muteness or become my underling."

Tang Yueshan smiled coldly: "Girl, how about I give you a suggestion? If you become my disciple, I'll consider not killing you when I return to the capital."

Tang Ming is his son, but if this girl becomes his disciple, then she can be considered half a daughter. If his daughter hurts his son, that's a family matter, and he can deal with it according to family rules. There's no need to resort to violence.

Unlike Gu Chao, who was stubborn and favored sons over daughters, he had also carefully nurtured his daughter.

Unfortunately, none of them had the talent for martial arts.

This girl is amazing.

He cherishes talent, and as long as this girl is obedient, he promises to cultivate her in the same way he cultivated Tang Ming before.

To be honest, if this hadn't happened, Tang Yueshan would never have let Gu Jiao become his apprentice. It's one thing for him to admire Gu Jiao's talent, but it's another thing for him to be unable to get over his own conscience.

However, the relationship between people is like a game of unpredictable change, and no one knows which side will gain the upper hand in the next moment.

Clearly, with him severely injured and Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing at full strength, his chances of winning are slim.

He had to make sacrifices to survive, but he was unwilling to simply sacrifice. He wanted to gain something in return for his sacrifice so that he wouldn't feel so resentful.

...I absolutely refuse to admit that I'm lusting after this little girl!

Gu Chao doesn't want it, he does!

Gu Chengfeng was completely immersed in his immense shock, utterly bewildered, and didn't hear a single word of what Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan were saying beside him.

Until... Gu Changqing came out of the next room and unexpectedly heard Tang Yueshan's voice as he passed the door.

He pushed open the door, looked at the three people inside, and exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

This time, Gu Chengfeng did react. When he saw Gu Changqing, the grievances in his heart surged up like a tide, and he pouted, "Big brother..."

With red eyes, he got out of bed, intending to rush towards his older brother, but unexpectedly, he got tangled up with Tang Yueshan's bandages.

Tang Yueshan felt a sharp pain in his leg and instinctively yanked the bandage. Gu Chengfeng was pulled back by a strong force, lost his balance, and fell straight down behind him.

His collision not only knocked Tang Yueshan down, but also collapsed the pear wood wall behind him.

The two wounded soldiers stumbled into the next room, rolling around on the floor with a clatter!

The old marquis frowned as he looked at the two people who broke through the wall and entered.

Gu Chengfeng had bandages on his arms but no legs. He endured the pain and stood up from a pile of wooden planks, looking at the old Marquis whom he hadn't seen for several days.

The old Marquis also looked in his direction, revealing a look of surprise and excitement.

Gu Chengfeng was slightly taken aback. His grandfather was so excited to see him? Was I the grandson his grandfather loved most?!

Gu Chengfeng was overjoyed, the gloom of learning that he was half a spy was swept away, and he walked towards his grandfather with tears in his eyes!

He came to the bedside!

He looked at his grandfather with tears in his eyes: "Grandfather..."

Before he could finish saying the word "father," his grandfather shoved him away with his arm, which was covered by a splint.

The old Marquis looked excitedly at Gu Chengfeng's back and exclaimed, "Little brother!"

Gu Chengfeng: Little brother?

Tang Yueshan, who was half-buried under the wooden plank and unable to get out, looked behind him.

Where did this lackey come from?

Gu Jiao had already put on a mask. She looked at the old Marquis with great excitement, strode over, sat down by the bed, and took his hand.

Big brother!

The old marquis's eyes filled with tears: "Little brother!"

Gu Jiao: Big brother!

"Little brother!"

Big brother!

The old Marquis grasped Gu Jiao's hand, tears streaming down his face: "Little brother! It really is you! I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime! To be able to see you again in my lifetime is truly wonderful!"

Gu Chengfeng and Tang Yueshan, finally realizing who that "little brother" was referring to, spat out a mouthful of blood.

Little Fengfeng: I treated you like a little sister, but you secretly became my great-uncle!!!
