The third prince, Gu Kai, was a carefree and romantic man who loved only beautiful women throughout his life and had no interest in governing the country.

The fourth prince, Gu Ke, had been weak and sickly since childhood and was unable to bear the burden of the throne. He was also a person of indolent and quiet character, preferring such elegant activities as playing chess, playing the piano, reciting poems and painting rather than managing family and state affairs.

Not to mention the fifth prince Gu Jian, he is a man who is bent on expanding his business throughout Tianyuan. He likes gold and silver things the most. If he were to become emperor, he might not do his job properly and abuse his power for personal gain, focusing only on business.

As for the Sixth Prince Gu Wei, he is a foodie and a naive royal. How can such a person be capable of great undertakings?

The court officials reviewed all the princes and found that none of them was capable of taking on the important task.

The key is that they themselves have no intention of becoming emperor.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Just when it seemed that the Gu family's empire was about to have no one to inherit it, a prince suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It was Gu Xi who saw the opportunity to reveal his identity.

At this time, everyone knew that the princess was actually a prince! While the power in the imperial capital was changing, the Gu Mansion in Baimiao City in the northern border was peaceful.

Gu Xueting and Shen Yizi did nothing these days but played with Qing Bao and the others, so as to make up for the days they had been separated from Qing Bao and the others when they were trapped in the Samsara Disk.

Qingbao and the other two are very happy, and their little faces are filled with smiles every day.

One day, Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting were playing Cuju (ancient football) with their three children when Xiao Xiong came to their house.

It was only when he received a letter from his father that he found out that Gu Xueting was still alive!

There was certainly a reason why Xiao Zhengyuan wrote to Xiao Xiong to tell him about this matter.

Previously, he was secretly instructed by the emperor to take action against Gu Xueting. Now that the matter has been exposed, Gu Xueting has come to him in person. Xiao Zhengyuan has been in deep worry and fear every day these days, fearing that Gu Xueting will take action against him one day.

Especially after receiving the news from the imperial capital, he became even more worried all day long.

The emperor had a stroke not earlier or later, but just shortly after Gu Xueting learned the truth. He absolutely did not believe that Gu Xueting had no hand in this.

Gu Xueting could even do things at the emperor's command, and now even the prince has been imprisoned. The more Xiao Zhengyuan thought about it, the more he felt that Gu Xueting was unfathomable.

He also wanted to take advantage of the fact that the throne was vacant and various forces in the imperial capital were shaken to stir up some trouble.

He is the Lord of the Northern Territory. He has been working in the Northern Territory for many years. He has a solid position and many confidants. He has also recruited a large number of talented people under him. If he can take advantage of the situation, it may be possible for him to rise to the top.

At the very least, we can muddy the waters and gain more benefits from it.

You can only fish in turbulent waters.

However, just as he had this thought, Gu Xueting broke into his study room again as if he was in an empty space, and forcibly left a mark in his sea of ​​consciousness. If he had any delusions, he would know immediately! Xiao Zhengyuan didn't dare to have any evil thoughts now.

Now his life depends entirely on Gu Xueting's decision.

When Xiao Zhengyuan thought about the danger he had caused before, he was terrified. Thinking about how close his third son was to Gu Xueting, he wanted him to say a few good words for him in front of Gu Xueting and play the emotional card.

This is to prevent Gu Xueting from taking his life one day when he feels unhappy about it.

In the letter, Xiao Zhengyuan recounted the whole story. Of course, when talking about hiring someone to assassinate Gu Xueting, he profoundly explained his helplessness, dilemma and torment.

After all, the emperor's order could not be disobeyed. She just tried to prove her innocence and put all the blame on the emperor who had suffered a stroke and was unable to defend himself.

Originally, this matter was caused by the emperor. When writing the letter, Xiao Zhengyuan was full of resentment towards the emperor.

Xiao Xiong received the letter, but before he finished reading it, he had already smashed the table in front of him.

He didn't expect that Gu Xueting was assassinated by his own father!

Although he repeatedly stressed his innocence in the letter, Xiao Xiong could see that these were just excuses! You actually want me to plead for you? ! How dare you be so shameless! You are so embarrassed, but I don’t have the nerve to do that! Xiao Xiong cursed his father in his heart.

But no matter what, he still had to thank him. If it weren't for his letter, he wouldn't have known that Xiao Ting was still alive!

Xiao Xiong hurried out of the military camp and rode quickly all the way. He arrived at Baimiao City in one night.

The moment he saw Gu Xueting, Xiao Xiong's eyes filled with tears. He strode forward and gave him a bear hug, "Good boy, you're still alive! I knew you wouldn't be taken away by God so easily! Hahahaha..."

Gu Xueting patted him on the back.

The two men separated, and Xiao Xiong turned around, and saw three radish-headed kids looking up at him.

Xiao Xiong was not afraid at all when facing the group of ferocious and violent monsters. However, when facing these three soft and cute little guys, our Marshal Xiao was unusually at a loss.

Shen Yizhi came forward and asked Qingbao and the other two to call out, "This is Uncle Xiao, your father's friend."

A uniform "Uncle Xiao" was heard.

"Hey!" Xiao Xiong responded loudly, and then he felt his body, only to find that he had come in too much of a hurry and had not brought anything that could serve as a gift. He couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Seeing his embarrassment, Shen Yizhi handed him the Cuju to help him out: "Brother Xiao, do you want to play a game with these little guys?"

Xiao Xiong quickly agreed: "Okay."

Xiao Xiong was also a good player of Cuju. When the army held Cuju competitions in the past, he could kick his opponents until they cried for their parents, which showed his bravery.

However, facing several small guys who were not even as tall as his thighs, he did not dare to use any extra strength and held back his power at all times, for fear of accidentally hitting anyone.

Playing football like this is much more tiring than playing with real guns and swords against the men in the army.

After a while, Xiao Xiong's forehead was covered with sweat.

In the end, his good intentions were not understood by Qing Bao and the others. Instead, they disliked him for being too stupid and unable to pass the ball properly.

But overall, the game was quite enjoyable.

After the exercise, Xiao Xiong and Qing Bao and the other two became much closer. He lifted Qing Bao up with one hand and played a high-tossing game with him.

Qingbao screamed with excitement.

After Qingbao finished, it was Yuanbao and Niannian's turn.

Soon Xiao Xiong completely subdued the three villains.

Qing Bao and the other two surrounded Uncle Xiao and called him Uncle Xiao all the time, without any sense of estrangement or unfamiliarity between them.
