Long Xuancheng flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly. "My foster father probably sent out the barely trained Secret Guards. He has the all-powerful Tiger Guards, but he's holding on to them tightly and won't let me use them."
Long Xuancheng slammed his fist on the table.
He had a hunch that nothing happened to Gu Beiheng.
"With those omnipotent tiger guards, why should we be afraid of Gu Beiheng?" Long Xuancheng's ferocious face burst into anger, and he gritted his teeth and wished he could kill them.
The men under him stood hunched over and trembling. Long Xuancheng had been very violent recently.
The gentleman who used to be as gentle as jade and elegant now looks like a wild beast that can go crazy at any time.
"Prince, I heard that Prince Zhan is back. Do you want to join him?" A Qingke boldly suggested.
"Don't be in a hurry, let me think about it."
Long Xuancheng waved his hand and told everyone to leave. "Make sure to ambush the Gu family army with all your strength. Send people to search for Gu Beiheng's family along the way. Kill any suspicious characters you encounter."
The followers below resisted in their hearts but did not show it on their faces.
How many people will this kill?
"Yes." The follower agreed and walked out together.
Long Xuancheng sat in his chair, constantly repeating to himself that he was the adopted son of Prince Zhan and the heir to all the wealth in Prince Zhan's mansion, while Gu Beiheng was nothing more than a bastard.
How can the bastard compete with him?
He is the emperor's adopted son.
After giving himself this hint several times, he gradually calmed down.
Long Xuancheng changed his clothes and came to the yard in the suburbs.
Still knocking on the door.
After the visitor opened the door and saw Long Xuancheng, he looked around cautiously and let him in.
The two secret guards, hidden far away in the trees, exchanged glances. One of them nodded and stayed, while the other used his Qinggong to leave and return to Prince Zhan's mansion.
He told Long Xuancheng what he had heard at his house and what happened when Long Xuancheng went to the courtyard in the suburbs.
Prince Zhan sat on a chair, stroking the jade pendant in his hand. His expression grew increasingly gloomy, and after a while, he waved his hand to let the secret guards leave.
He sat in a chair with his eyes closed. After a moment, he coughed into the air. "Leader of the Tiger Guards, come out."
A figure landed silently before the War King and knelt on one leg in salute. "Your Majesty, I obey your command."
"Send someone to investigate the courtyard outside the city, and then tell Gu Beiheng and his wife what you just heard. And show your loyalty, because they will be your real masters from now on." King Zhan touched the jade pendant in his hand. Otherwise, he had to stabilize the situation in the capital.
He also had to hold the person in the palace back, he really wanted to go out and find Qin Wan.
Zhan Wang knew that Su Qi and the others must know where Qin Wan was. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so anxious after hearing that Qin Wan was missing.
The Tiger Guard leader, who was about thirty years old, looked up at the War King, bent down and kowtowed three times, then stood up and left.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng felt very comfortable staying in the yard.
Reasonable use of the manpower in the Zhanwang Mansion can also allow Ying Yi and others to enter and exit freely.
Even when dealing with the Gu family army, he also contacted Mo Junshi and others. Gu Beiheng was looking at the map, stroking his chin and thinking about the next deployment.
A figure landed silently in front of them, lifted up his robe and knelt on one knee without saying a word.
"Tiger Guard leader Long Tianyi pays homage to the master."
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi were startled and shocked that this person came in so silently.
Gu Beiheng had amazing hearing, and Su Qi was very sensitive to smells. However, they only noticed Long Tianyi after he knelt down.
"You're kneeling to the wrong person, aren't you?"
Long Tianyi cupped his fists and said, "The prince asked me to assist the master in the future and obey his arrangements in everything."
Gu Beiheng was surprised by his ability and walked over to help him up. "What else did the War King ask you to come here for?"
Long Tianyi didn't expect Gu Beiheng to be so perceptive. He was completely different from the two-faced Long Xuancheng.
He repeated what the War King had said.
Gu Beiheng's mind moved. It seemed that there was something strange about the courtyard outside the city. Or perhaps the person inside was the one who guided Long Xuancheng to do things.
"Send someone to investigate carefully, and don't alert the enemy. Tell me when you come back." Gu Beiheng paused and asked about the number of Tiger Guards.
I learned that the Tiger Guards were divided into the Heaven and Earth Group.
Each group consists of fifty people, including ten women.
"The members of the Earth Group are now scattered in the imperial palace and various armies." Long Tianyi told everything he knew. Since Gu Beiheng was his master, he had to ensure that his master had a deep understanding of Dong Qi.
"Tiger Guard is Dongqi's most powerful secret guard?"
Long Tianyi hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head.
"The Emperor also has a Dragon Guard. It's said that this Dragon Guard is even larger in number. The people in it are every bit as good as our Tiger Guards. My Lord, you must be most careful with the Dragon Guards from now on."
"Okay, you can go down." Gu Beiheng asked Long Tianyi to leave.
He circled two cities on the map and asked Yingyi to write a secret letter to Military Advisor Mo and Li Tianfang.
"Qiqi, let's go find him." Gu Beiheng thought about it and decided to go find the King of War first.
He knew that the War King had come to the yard several times in the past few days.
"good."
Su Qi dressed up a bit, changing into a purple brocade dress. She also changed her hairstyle from her usual simple style to a headpiece with purple gemstones.
Standing next to Gu Beiheng, who was wearing a brocade robe of the same color, they were truly a perfect match.
The two held hands tightly and walked out of the yard to the main courtyard of the War King.
Along the way, everyone in the palace started whispering.
The maids and servants in the palace were naturally tight-lipped. When the housekeeper heard that Gu Beiheng and Su Qi had left the yard, he trotted after them and introduced the affairs of the palace.
"Master, our palace is the largest mansion in the capital. Right now, Your Majesty is practicing martial arts in the martial arts training ground next to it. How about you go over to the training ground and take a look?" The steward smiled flatteringly.
Su Qi couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
The servants in Prince Zhan's mansion all had fawning looks on their faces, making Su Qi unable to look directly at them.
"You lead the way." Seeing that Gu Beiheng didn't speak, Su Qi turned around and gave instructions.
"yes."
The two followed the steward to the martial arts training ground. The War King was dressed in a tight outfit, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and dancing with great vigor.
Gu Beiheng let go of Su Qi's hand and saw a Fang Tian Hua Ji on the weapon rack next to him.
He walked over, took it in his hand, and jumped towards the War King.
The War King noticed Gu Beiheng coming, but he didn't stop. Seeing Gu Beiheng walk to the weapon rack and pick up the Fang Tian Hua Ji, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
After all, he is his son. Even though he didn't grow up around him, they have many similarities.
The two began to compete.
The steward ordered someone to bring a chair for Su Qi to sit down, and someone stood next to her, fanning her. A maid brought her some fragrant and delicious Biluochun tea, and a servant placed a table next to where Su Qi was sitting.
The maid was very tactful and placed a few plates of delicious cakes on the table.
And two plates of fruit.
Everything was done quickly and in an orderly manner, worthy of being a maid in Prince Zhan's mansion. Su Qi suddenly felt that the maids and servants in her mansion might not be up to standard in their eyes. These people moved quickly and silently.
The housekeeper kindly introduced the cakes to Su Qi. After talking for a while and seeing that Su Qi was not displeased, he slowly said:
"Madam, we have two maids in our house. They are very efficient and have some experience. Would you like to take them?"
"Okay, let them come and serve me." Su Qi could see that the people in Prince Zhan's Mansion were very loyal.
But how did Long Xuancheng take advantage of that loophole?
When Su Qi asked about Long Xuancheng, the housekeeper told her everything he knew.
Long Xuancheng's father grew up with Prince Zhan and the current emperor, who was five years older. After Prince Zhan decided not to marry, Long Xuancheng often visited Prince Zhan's mansion.
At the emperor's suggestion, he was adopted as his son and Quan Jie was left alone.
At that time, Long Xuancheng was indeed cute, considerate, intelligent, and good at studying. He was very much liked by the War King.
"Bah, who knew his wolfish ambitions. He's not even worthy of carrying our master's shoes." The housekeeper couldn't help but spit when he heard that Long Xuancheng had set up a plan to assassinate Gu Beiheng.
