Su Qi and Gu Beiheng decided not to go to Dongqi Kingdom for the time being. If they went to Dongqi Kingdom first, it might attract the attention of the Dongqi royal family.
What happened back then represented a fierce fight for the throne, even though the late emperor intended Prince Zhan to inherit the throne.
There are still many people who support others in fighting for the throne.
Who knows if the hands of the Emperor Dongqi are now stained with blood? The small marginal countries that are attached to Dongqi are not strong, but they can still stare at you like a fly.
The jade pendant can be their last trump card.
Gu Beiheng planned to first conquer the Dashun Kingdom and expand his sphere of influence to the point where he did not need support from outsiders.
At that time, he also had a say in facing the Dongqi Kingdom. The worst that could happen was that he would just declare war directly.
The two of them ignored all this for the time being and focused on doing their own things.
Unexpectedly, some people in Dongqi Country were worried.
The more Long Xuancheng thought about it, the more frightened he became. Gu Beiheng had escaped his several assassination attempts.
Instead, he was assassinated by an unknown person. After investigation, he found that the person who hired the assassin was Gu Beiheng.
In a rage.
He almost used the secret guards left to him by the War King.
It was his confidant who persuaded him, and after thinking it over, he finally suppressed his restless heart.
Long Xuancheng came alone to a quiet courtyard at the foot of a mountain outside Beijing and knocked on the door.
Two short tones and three long tones.
The small door next to it opened.
Seeing it was him, she quickly made way for him to enter.
"Where's the old man?"
The doorman bowed and said, "The old master is practicing calligraphy inside."
Long Xuancheng went straight into a magnificent room without saying a word.
The thin old man who was writing calligraphy looked up at the hem of his robe and his face changed. "What happened? Didn't you say to try not to come here?"
"Father. My adoptive father might have a biological son."
The thin old man put down his brush. "Impossible. He has only had Qin Wan in his life, and Qin Wan is married to the owner of Wanjian Villa. How could he have a son?"
He had followed the Emperor and accompanied the War King to look for Qin Wan, only to find Qin Wan and Manor Master Shen together. He had given him a heartless letter, telling him that the former Qin Wan was dead.
The War King also thought that Qin Wan was dead.
Long Xuancheng told him about his encounter with Gu Beiheng in the black market.
The lean old man pondered for a moment, wondering if there had been a mistake. "You must firmly deny this matter. Your adoptive father must not know about it. This must be resolved before he is released from confinement."
"The Third Prince wrote a secret letter and sent it over. Fortunately, I sent someone to intercept the secret letter before it arrived." Long Xuancheng's deep eyes flashed. He felt a barrier in his heart regarding the Third Prince's matter.
The thin old man muttered to himself and whispered this in the other's ear.
Long Xuancheng nodded continuously, "Father. Just as you say."
"The Emperor said he would marry Princess Mingyue to you. You should spend more time with her." The thin old man said coldly, "The Emperor loves his niece, Princess Mingyue, very much."
"Yes, I understand." Long Xuancheng asked about Gu Beiheng again.
The skinny old man didn't expect that the Northwest General of Dashun Kingdom actually looked like the War King. No one had mentioned his similar appearance to the War King in recent years.
"Otherwise, we could use public opinion, but I don't want my adoptive father to know about this."
"That's not appropriate. We can only solve this matter secretly and write a letter to Tianshan quietly. Just say that you have offended Gu Beiheng of the Dashun Dynasty and asked for peace many times, but the other party refused to give in." The thin old man knew that the King of War was protecting his son, so he explained everything.
This is how they described the arrogant Gu Beiheng who bullied Dongqi Kingdom and interfered in the affairs of the royal family.
"Father, is this okay?" Long Xuancheng wrote out the contents, took another look, and said, "It's not direct enough."
A slap in the face landed on Long Xuancheng's head. "Being too direct is not good. Take care of the villagers at the foot of Tianshan Mountain and spread the word appropriately."
"I understand." Long Xuancheng breathed a sigh of relief.
His wealth and glory cannot be taken away by a bastard with no background.
"The Third Prince?" Long Xuancheng moved the jade ring on his hand and looked at the thin old man with fierce eyes.
"Don't worry about this. I'll take care of it. The Third Prince only wants your adoptive father's support. All his support is yours. In the future, you will develop his power and select a prince who is easy to control and support him to the throne."
Long Xuancheng really hated the identity of being an adopted son. If he were the son of the War King, he would have no chance of vying for that position.
After some planning by the father and son.
Several letters were sent out.
Long Xuancheng also returned to the capital from the suburbs to make arrangements. As for Gu Beiheng in Yunzhou City, he would not let him go.
What gave him a headache was that Gu Beiheng actually suppressed his industry.
Yue Jiushao's work was naturally instructed by Gu Beiheng.
Long Xuancheng stroked his chin, his face sinister as he pondered for a long time before waving to the secret guards. "Go get the second young master of the Yue family."
"yes."
It’s different from Long Xuancheng who is thinking about Gu Beiheng all the time.
Long Xuancheng was not involved in the matters that Gu Beiheng handled.
Several secret letters were sent out.
All of them are about the battle situation of Dashun.
And ensure the people's food planting and harvest, and try not to cause a large number of refugees.
He held one of the letters and looked at it for a long time.
"Yingyi. Please invite the lady over."
Before Ying could respond, Su Qi's voice came from outside the study door.
"Why did you invite me here?"
Su Qi walked in, took the letter from Gu Beiheng's hand, and unfolded it to read it carefully. She said with a smile, "My parents have taken their family to Jinyang Prefecture." Su Qi now regarded the Su family in the capital as her own family.
"The second, third, and fourth branches of the Su family all stayed in the capital, while my father-in-law and mother-in-law took their families to Jinyang Prefecture." Gu Beiheng pointed to another secret letter sent by the shadow guard and said, "My father-in-law disobeyed the old lady for this. He and my mother-in-law knelt in front of the old lady's courtyard for three hours before leaving."
"Grandmother is sometimes clear and sometimes confused, and she still favors her youngest son in her heart." Su Qi sighed.
"Where's my uncle?" Su Qi was talking about Liu Qingyin's brother, the old man who wanted to prepare a cart of things for them when he was in exile.
"My uncle and his family all agreed to come to Jinyang Prefecture. I plan to open two stores in Jin'an Prefecture, and my uncle and I will each hold a 50-50 share." Gu Beiheng planned to have them invest in opening the stores, and then split the profits equally with Uncle Liu.
The reason why the store was not given away was because the Liu family still had a messy debt.
"Okay. Let's do as you say." Su Qi had no doubts about these things.
She also remembered the little favor from Uncle Liu.
After considering all these things, Gu Beiheng and Su Qi wrote letters and sent them out separately.
Now the Gu Mansion has shadow guards who are specifically responsible for handling these matters.
The letters were handled by Gu Beiheng and the other person in order, and all the written letters were sent out.
Then he marked everything with simple symbols and wrote them down in a notebook for Gu Beiheng to check.
The study is equivalent to Gu Beiheng's secret room.
Hang Tieshan, along with Ying Yi, several shadow guards and Mr. Ke, turned the Gu Mansion into an impenetrable mansion.
Mr. Ke was not convinced by Hang Tieshan, but he also admired his abilities.
He happily followed Hang Tieshan and planted some herbs at key points to make them work.
At most, two people can do the work at the same time.
Now He Fan understood why Su Qi said that the people in the Gu Mansion neither caused trouble nor were afraid of trouble.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng decided to give the Yun family a surprise before the medical competition.
They want to win over the Yun family team.
It depends on how they choose between the Ban family, an in-law that the Yun family cannot control, and the Gu family, an in-law that the Yun family believes they can control.
After all, Su Qi is half a daughter of the Yun family.
"What gift?" Gu Beiheng asked.
"Let's go visit my grandfather's family first. Now that our actions are known to everyone, we don't have to worry about the Yun family not knowing about it. Then we can go visit the head of the Yun family. Give them a chance to digest and consider the gains and losses." Su Qi smiled slyly.
