Su Qi glanced at the two people who were still competing in the field. He only saw their figures flashing and could not see the specific moves clearly.
Only the guards nearby stared with their eyes wide open, muttering in a low voice that he was indeed the War King's son.
Watching Gu Beiheng compete, although his health is not good, his kung fu is not weak.
"The famous General Gu is no exaggeration." A guard said with a smile.
Someone beside him nodded, "That's not right. It should be the young prince."
"Based on our master's strength, he is more than just the little prince."
The guards nearby were not afraid of being embarrassed by being overheard by Su Qi, and focused on the discussion.
"That's right. Dashun will soon be in the hands of the Gu family army. It's only a matter of time before our Dongqi is defeated."
"I also want to join the Gu family army to show my ambitions."
"They are all his subordinates."
The old butler, feeling somewhat embarrassed, coughed twice to warn them. The guards stood up straight, not daring to say another word.
Su Qi touched the teacup in her hand and smiled without saying anything.
It's hard to tell if the guard didn't say this on purpose. "This tea is good. Send some to our yard later."
The housekeeper agreed with a humble attitude, and then suggested to Su Qi: "Madam, we don't have a mistress in the Zhan Palace. Everything is decided by the old servants, so the affairs of the palace should be handled by Madam."
"Are you not afraid that I will sell out Prince Zhan's Mansion?"
The housekeeper laughed and said, "The prince said that it is also the family property of the master and the mistress."
"Our family business is in Dashun, so let's not do anything that's not legitimate." Su Qi reached out and touched the pearls and jade on her head and said, "If Prince Long Xuancheng comes, do you think he will hide or we will hide?"
Su Qi didn't finish her words.
A servant came over quickly and came to the butler, seeming to say something but stopping himself.
The housekeeper glared at them and said, "If you have something to say, just say it." He had received an order to let Su Qi and Gu Beiheng treat Prince Zhan's Mansion as their own home.
"Butler, Prince Long is here. He said he came to see the prince." The servant's face was covered in sweat, and he didn't dare to wipe his sweat off with his hands folded in front of him.
The housekeeper was stunned.
Is it so effective that it came as soon as Su Qi finished speaking?
Su Qi raised the corner of her mouth and smiled sarcastically: "Let's hide. Don't make things difficult for the main person."
Zhan Wang and Gu Beiheng walked over side by side, seemingly exchanging techniques on the Fang Tian Hua Ji.
As the War King spoke, he patted Gu Beiheng's shoulder and said, "Rest assured and recuperate during this period. When you are better, we can talk again as father and son."
"All the forces in my hands are at your disposal."
The War King didn't care about Gu Beiheng's cold expression and just said that he would take them to the Dongqi Imperial Mausoleum in a few days.
"If you go there rashly, you'll easily be targeted. I have a secret passage that can help you avoid those people."
Gu Beiheng snorted coldly. "Prince Zhan, your son has come to show his filial piety. Qiqi and I should step aside for now."
The War King's beard fluttered in anger, "Hmph. Am I the coward?"
"You are my son, so naturally you should come with me to meet the guests." The War King glanced at Su Qi who was watching the fun and felt a little headache. His daughter-in-law was born with a rebellious nature.
"Su Qi. As the hostess of Prince Zhan's Mansion, you will meet the guests together with Bei Heng."
Su Qi put down the teacup in her hand, stood up, and chuckled softly. "How can I be the mistress of Prince Zhan's mansion without any proper title? My husband's last name is Gu, not Long."
"Let's meet Long Xuancheng first today to make things clear. I will bring Beiheng into the palace later." King Zhan knew what Su Qi meant.
He looked up at Su Qi and Gu Beiheng again, and finally stroked his beard and said:
"Just think carefully about the pressure that's coming. Some people in the Dongqi royal family might not let you go. And what will happen if the Gu family army knows you're from Dongqi?"
Dongqi and Dashun are from different countries. Will the people of Gu's army accept this?
"Dongqi and Dashun were originally part of the same nation, but wars and conflicts later led to the creation of these separate nations." Gu Beiheng lowered his eyes, but when he raised them, his ambition was clear. "Perhaps there will no longer be a Dongqi and Dashun in the future."
The War King looked at Gu Beiheng seriously without saying anything. He was calculating the troops he had, thinking that he owed Gu Beiheng too much and deserved compensation.
The three of them stopped talking and went to the front yard together.
Long Xuancheng was waiting for the War King in the front yard.
He drank his tea with a feeling of uncertainty. This time, the servants were as enthusiastic as ever, but Long Xuancheng was very thoughtful and could see at a glance that these people were only agreeing on the surface.
It lacks the sincerity of the past.
He asked about the War King's itinerary in recent days, but all the servants seemed to have their mouths locked.
He was worried, wondering if the War King knew something.
The Third Prince was plotted against by his father, and now he is in danger and has no chance of finding the War King.
"Xuancheng. Godfather has something very good to tell you." The War King came in first and pretended not to notice Long Xuancheng's absent-minded look.
He laughed and shared his joy, "I found my biological son."
Long Xuancheng had just stood up when he heard these thunderbolt words and was stunned.
Finally, he managed a smile and said, "Congratulations, godfather. Congratulations, godfather. But I haven't heard that you have a child outside. Is there anything wrong?"
Long Xuancheng clenched his back teeth, thinking to himself that it best not to be Gu Beiheng.
"Nothing will go wrong. I have to thank you." The War King laughed heartily, and his hand stroking his beard paused. "You also know General Gu Beiheng, with whom you have a misunderstanding."
"I said General Gu is a lone and courageous man, much like me fighting on the battlefield back then."
Long Xuancheng was shocked to see Gu Beiheng and Su Qi coming in. That woman looked a bit like the one he had seen at the city gate that day.
He was secretly upset that he had not thoroughly investigated the matter that day.
Trying hard not to lose his composure, Long Xuancheng wanted to maintain a gentle appearance.
"I think we also have a misunderstanding." Long Xuancheng's calves felt weak and his palms were sweaty.
I had to hold on to the table to prevent myself from falling down.
"Misunderstanding? I don't know what misunderstanding there is with Prince Long?" Su Qi walked forward and sneered, "Since the incident at the black market, he has been relentlessly hunting down our family."
"Just because my husband looks like Prince Zhan?"
"Nonsense. Madam Gu, please don't say that. I'm glad my adoptive father has found his biological son." Long Xuancheng's gentle expression was about to falter. "As long as he's not being used by others, that's fine."
He was so upset. Why wasn't he the War King's child? What did this bastard want to do back home?
"Alright. Just get it out of the way." The War King gestured for Gu Beiheng and Su Qi to sit down. "Xuancheng. Now that Beiheng is back, I have to make up for the fatherly love he's been missing all these years."
After a pause, the War King put his hand on his forehead.
"I heard that I have two grandsons and two granddaughters. This way, I have even more to compensate. Bei Heng said that Prince Zhan's mansion is small, and he plans to have six, seven, or eight more children."
Su Qi looked at Zhan Wang talking nonsense in shock.
I already have four children, why not six, seven, or eight more?
She glared at Gu Beiheng, and Gu Beiheng shrugged slightly to indicate that he didn't say that.
"You're still childless at your age, and it's uncertain whether you'll ever have children in the future. Hand back all the properties I asked you to manage and let Su Qi manage them. Raising children is very expensive, and the profits from these properties must be saved for my precious grandchildren."
Thinking of the grandchildren he had never met, the War King's heart melted.
Long Xuancheng never expected that he could get back the property he was given to manage.
"You still have to return three years' earnings. But the farm and shop in Lingnan are still yours, and you don't have to return the output income there." The War King continued to ask for what he had given away.
Long Xuancheng felt as if the blood was stuck in his throat and blocked.
"Godfather. I have almost spent all that money." He has been spending money like an emperor in recent years, and hiring assassins is not free.
The War King frowned and said unhappily:
"All spent? I'll send someone to reconcile your account. You can't spend all this money in three lifetimes."
Su Qi couldn't help laughing when she saw Long Xuancheng looking as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
I didn't expect that the War King had this trick.
"Prince Zhan, it's really not easy for Beiheng and I to raise several children. The world is difficult nowadays, and what the children eat and use cannot be compared with what Dongqi's children use." Su Qi gently wiped the corners of her eyes, trying to squeeze out a few crocodile tears.
