Gu Sang replied coldly, "I help Pei Weiqi only because of her as a person, not because she is from the Pei family."
"It doesn't matter to me who owns this country, as long as it benefits the people."
"Also, even though the child born by Pei Weiqi is not a descendant of the Pei family, it is Pei Weiqi's child."
"As for your Pei family, after so many generations of prosperity, it's time for you to step down from the stage of history."
"Why do you think you can just sit back and reap the rewards without putting in any effort? Is it because you have no shame?"
Every word Gu Sang said made the middle-aged man want to kill Gu Sang, but he couldn't kill Gu Sang. He needed Gu Sang to help him persuade Pei Weiqi.
Only Gu Sang can convince Pei Weiqi.
"Just because Pei Weiqi is a descendant of the Pei family, she should serve the Pei family."
"All descendants born into the Pei family must not be selfish and only think about themselves."
“The reason why a family endures for a long time is because it is the result of the unity and hard work of all its members.”
"If everyone is not united, the Pei family would have fallen into disgrace like other families long ago."
"And without the support of the Pei family, how can the Pei family sit on the throne securely?"
"The reason you have complaints against me and are unwilling to help me is because I didn't help when Pei Changying and Pei Weiqi were fighting each other."
"To me, the fight between the two of them is an internal fight within the Pei family. As the head of the Pei family, I cannot take sides."
"Besides, no matter which of them becomes emperor, the world will ultimately belong to the Pei family."
"But Pei Weiqi betrayed my trust. She disregarded the glory of the Pei family. She didn't even consider that her father's faction was able to sit on the throne because of our Pei family's contribution. Without our Pei family, there would be no Pei Weiqi!"
Gu Sang was amused by the shamelessness of the man in front of him. They had done nothing, but he felt that they were indebted to him.
If Pei Weiqi died in the palace fight, it would be what she deserved. Otherwise, if Pei Weiqi won, it would be the credit of the Pei family.
It is better to cut off ties with a family as soon as possible that stands idly by in times of crisis and demands to share the fruits of victory in times of victory.
The reason why Gu Sang did not scold the middle-aged man was that he was concerned that Madam Li was in their hands.
Gu Sang kept his composure, but a look of contempt still appeared on his face.
"I'm here for Madam Li. If you don't let Madam Li go, I refuse to negotiate any terms with you."
"Besides, everyone here is yours. Do you think I can escape without Madam Li holding me back?"
The middle-aged man looked at Lord Li, and when he saw Gu Sang's unquestionable look, he had to compromise.
After being released, Mrs. Li refused to leave. She wanted to wait for Gu Sang.
Gu Sang smiled calmly at Madam Li and said:
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"Don't report it to the police. Go home and get some sleep. Tomorrow is a new day."
Gu Sang's calmness and composure always give people a sense of security, making people trust her infinitely.
Mrs. Li knew that her presence here would not only be of no help to Gu Sang, but might even drag Gu Sang down.
So, Mrs. Li left resolutely.
After seeing Madam Li leave, the middle-aged man said to Gu Sang:
"Looks like we need to change the place where we talk."
Gu Sang was calm and composed, "It's all right."
Seeing Gu Sang's cooperation, the middle-aged man became secretly alert.
But no matter how hard he thought about it, he could never have imagined that Gu Sang would have a trick up his sleeve.
They guessed that Gu Sang might have already informed Pei Weiqi before coming.
But it was a bit unreasonable that Gu Sang was willing to cooperate with them in leaving.
Looking at the huge Pei Mansion at the door, Gu Sang realized that she had walked into a tiger's den, but she was not panicked at all. Instead, she looked around the Pei Mansion leisurely.
Standing in Pei Mansion and looking towards the southeast, you can actually see the imperial palace.
"Is this your Pei family's territory? It's quite close to the imperial palace."
"I'm a little curious, can you tell me why your Pei family has so many killers?"
"In fact, as someone in power, you have long wanted to become emperor."
Seeing that Gu Sang had arrived at the Pei Mansion's territory, the middle-aged man's vigilance suddenly dropped. Perhaps he thought that Gu Sang had no way to escape and would be forced to rebel against him.
Therefore, the middle-aged man answered all of Gu Sang's questions.
"Since we are already on the same page, I won't hide it from you."
"We are all descendants of the Pei family, so why can't I be the emperor?"
"That loser Pei Changying, without your help, how could he possibly sit firmly on the throne?"
"And Pei Weiqi, it was with your help that she was able to become the empress."
"Then why can't I?"
Gu Sang nodded in understanding, and asked indirectly about many things that had happened.
The middle-aged man gradually became impatient and asked doubtfully:
"Why are you asking so many questions? Are you planning to tip off Pei Weiqi?"
Gu Sang snapped his fingers happily.
It happened in a flash. Without waiting for any reaction from them, Gu Sang suddenly turned on the high-intensity flashlight and shone it towards the sky.
In an instant, the sky within a radius of dozens of miles centered on Pei Mansion suddenly lit up.
This phenomenon naturally attracted the attention of Zhou Qichen, who led troops to search Li's mansion.
“Gu Sang is there!!!”
Zhou Qichen hurriedly led his troops to the direction where the light beam was shining.
"W-what is this!?"
The assassins sent by Lord Li all died in the Temple of Heaven in the southern suburbs, and they had no idea that Gu Sang had this weapon in his hand that could emit light in the dark.
