"You," Young Master Gu asked the guards hoarsely while sitting on his horse, "Have you seen Gu Xinglang?"
A guard nodded hurriedly and said, "Prime Minister, the Prince Consort just returned home not long ago."
Gu Xingnuo almost rolled off the horse to the ground. If he hadn't been holding on to the reins tightly, everyone believed that Prime Minister Gu would have fallen to the ground.
Wang Fengqing rushed down the stairs, held onto Young Master Gu, and asked with concern, "Brother Gu, did something happen?"
Wang Fengqing and the second young master Gu were on good terms, so when Gu Xingnuo heard this man calling him "Brother Gu" before, he didn't feel anything. But now that he knew this man's background, when he heard him call him "Brother Gu" again, Gu Xingnuo sneered in his heart a few times, but didn't show it on his face.
Wang Fengqing carefully observed the expression of Young Master Gu. He could see that Prime Minister Gu was trying his best to hide his emotions. Gu Xingnuo was so upset, and thinking about the scene when Gu Xinglang came back just now, Wang Fengqing didn't need anyone to remind him. He had already guessed that the person Gu Xinglang killed this time was probably not a simple one.
Gu Xingnuo calmed himself down, pushed away Wang Fengqing's hand, and walked towards the stairs.
The guards did not dare to stop him and made way for him.
"What about this blood?" Young Master Gu asked Wang Fengqing who was following closely behind him.
Wang Fengqing hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, when the Prince Consort came back just now, he had a lot of blood on his body. I don't know if he was injured."
Guards... General, you are exaggerating! Is it necessary to be a good person to this extent?
Young Master Gu staggered.
"Brother Gu, be careful," Wang Fengqing quickly reached out to support Gu Xingnuo.
"Bah!" The big boss squatted behind the door and cursed: "How can this kid be so pretentious?"
The second in command said, "You can't pretend. Can he do anything for Mo Wen?"
The eldest boss secretly looked back at Gu Xinglang, and saw that the blood-colored totem on Gu Xinglang's face was still bright red. He pointed at his own face and asked Gu Xinglang in a rude manner: "Did you paint it?" He remembered that the set of tools Guining used for painting was still in the mansion.
"No," Gu Xinglang simply replied to the boss with two words.
The boss was shocked. Now that this thing appeared on the prince consort's face, could he be normal?
The second in command also thought that the bloody totem on Gu Xinglang's face was painted. When he heard Gu Xinglang say it was not, the second in command hurriedly asked Gu Xinglang carefully, "My Lord, do you still know who I am?"
Gu Xinglang did not answer the question immediately.
The boss' heart was in his throat again.
"Prince, Prince Consort?" the second in command called out in a low voice.
"I recognize him," Gu Xinglang said simply and clearly, "My eldest brother is here."
The boss breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the copper-cast and black-painted door, and suddenly laughed.
The second in command said, "Is there something wrong with your brain?"
The eldest boss said, "Our prince consort is fine even in this state, so he must have mastered the Heart Purification Mantra! So what are we afraid of?!"
The second in command's mood suddenly brightened up. Yes, the prince consort's eyes were red and there was a totem on his face. He was just like a normal person. He would definitely not be controlled by Mo Wen. So why were they still afraid of Mo Wen? !
Gu Xinglang raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. There was still a layer of blood mist in front of his eyes, but unlike before, he could clearly see the two people squatting in front of him, and he could recognize that these two people were the boss and the second in command.
Gu Xingnuo walked up the steps at this time and took a look at the halberd that served as a door bolt.
Wang Fengqing said hurriedly: "The previous door bolt was broken by the prince consort, so I had no choice but to use these halberds."
Gu Xingnuo suddenly quickened his pace, rushed to the door, raised his hand and pounded on it, shouting, "Gu Xinglang!"
Wang Fengqing chased after Young Master Gu, and became more and more certain that the person Gu Xinglang killed this time was no ordinary person.
The first and second in command held their breath.
Gu Xinglang stood behind the door expressionlessly, listening to his elder brother banging on it.
"Open the door," Gu Xingnuo knocked on the door and turned around to order Wang Fengqing.
General Wang looked embarrassed and whispered, "Brother Gu, the emperor has ordered that you are not allowed to enter without his order."
Gu Xingnuo wiped his face, and Wang Fengqing clearly saw that his eyes were a little red.
"Brother Gu, has something happened?" Wang Fengqing asked with concern.
Gu Xingnuo shook his head and said, "I have something important to discuss with Xinglang. Can you please let me go?"
The guards on the side felt that this Prime Minister Gu was being unreasonable. The imperial edict was there, how could they ask the generals to tolerate it? Those who disobeyed the edict would die. Would their generals risk their lives to tolerate you, Prime Minister?
Wang Fengqing looked embarrassed and said, "Brother Gu, if it's not because we are brothers, I won't help you. This is really..."
"If His Majesty blames me, I will take sole responsibility for this matter," Gu Xingnuo said decisively.
Wang Fengqing tied his hands together, looking like he wanted to help but was powerless, and said, "Brother Gu, what happened?"
Gu Xingnuo held the door with his hand and suddenly pulled out the halberd that served as the door bolt with great ferocity.
"Brother Gu!" Wang Fengqing shouted hurriedly and ran up to stop Young Master Gu.
When the imperial guards saw this, they hurried over and helped their general drag Young Master Gu back.
Gu Xingnuo didn't say anything at this moment. He struggled desperately, trying to get rid of the people who were dragging him.
Wang Fengqing grabbed Gu Xingnuo's hand and felt that the man's body was shaking and weak.
The guards could also sense that something was wrong with Prime Minister Gu. Some of them discussed this with Wang Fengqing and shouted, "General?"
"Let me go," Gu Xingnuo struggled for a long time and finally spoke again.
Wang Fengqing said, "Brother Gu, disobeying the order will result in death. You can't do this. What happened?"
There were tears gleaming in Mr. Gu's eyes.
Wang Fengqing signaled the guards to withdraw, and whispered to Young Master Gu: "Brother Gu, you have to give me a reason, right?"
Young Master Gu stood there for a long time before he said to Wang Fengqing, "Nothing, I just want to meet Gu Xinglang."
Gu Xinglang, Wang Fengqing glanced at Young Master Gu and called him by his name.
"I want to see him," said Mr. Gu, and then he stopped talking, as if he didn't know what to say next.
Wang Fengqing then asked Young Master Gu, "Brother Gu, do you really have something important to discuss with the Prince Consort?"
Young Master Gu nodded and clenched his hands at his sides.
Wang Fengqing turned his head to look at the gate of the Prince Consort's Mansion. Maybe it would be good to let Gu Xingnuo meet Gu Xinglang. It is said that when Gu Xinglang goes crazy, he will not recognize his relatives. If Gu Xinglang kills Gu Xingnuo in public, what will the people above have to worry about? Thinking of this, General Wang pretended to hesitate for a moment, then gritted his teeth and ordered his attendants, "Open the door."
The people who are performing the play..., open the door? If the door is opened, how can the play continue? !
