In the end, despite the ever-changing situation, Gu's position as lord was not preserved.
Gu Xing naturally didn't need to flatter Gu Yan anymore. He killed Gu Yan immediately. Although Gu Yan was the lord's legitimate son, he was the lord's only son.
However, he was also one of the three murderers who killed his lord. In order to avenge his lord, Gu Xing did not care about his identity at all.
He was even capable of patricide, yet he couldn't be killed just because he was the lord's son? How could that be possible? It didn't make sense!
Sure enough, Gu Xing quickly killed Gu Yan.
Wu Zheng thought about this and laughed, "Gu Xing is a ruthless, narrow-minded man with no sense of the bigger picture. His only strength is his die-hard loyalty. He's barely qualified to be the captain of the secret guards, but he's nowhere near the patriarch of the Gu family!"
Wu Hong said worriedly, "But, he is now the head of the Gu family. Moreover, he hates us to the core. He is the one who caused this turmoil. Brother, you can't be careless."
Wu Zheng wasn't worried at all.
"Don't worry. Gu Xing can't get past Jin Mao's five fingers! Do you think he's just our enemy? Jin Mao's defense against him is only more than ours, not less. Jin Mao has already calculated him to death. Otherwise, how could he have received him into the management of the council?"
"It's fine if he doesn't move, but once he moves, that's his death!"
Jin Mao is no less ruthless than him, but he is good at taking advantage of the situation and likes win-win situations. His enemies either become his allies or are destroyed by the trend of the times.
In the end, he died without a good end, but Jin Mao did not leave behind any bad reputation, but was praised by everyone.
This is the strength of Jinmao.
Just look at Jinmao’s current power and reputation and you will understand how powerful he is.
Gu Xing, jumping out this time is simply an act of seeking death.
Seeing his elder brother's confidence, Wu Hong felt relieved. However, he still planned to use his hidden man just in case. If anything went wrong, he would just kill him and put an end to it.
Wu Hong really didn't understand why his eldest brother knew that Gu Xing hated both of them and was their mortal enemy.
They could have killed Gu Xing at any time, but they kept him alive and helped him become the head of the Gu family.
Since he was a child, Wu Hong has always done things according to Wu Zheng's orders, rarely thinking about the reasons and never asking why.
It was not until recently, after Wu Zheng's failed attempt to usurp the throne, that Wu Hong began to learn to think.
Wu Hong is a straightforward person, especially when facing Wu Zheng. He was confused and asked directly.
"Gu Xing is very powerful, a high-ranking warrior, and he also has a secret guard team directly under him. He is currently the most powerful in the Gu family. After Gu Yan stepped down, no one in the Gu family could compete with him for the position of head of the family. It was natural for him to take the throne."
"In addition, Jin Mao is also willing to let Gu Xing take the stage. This is because the Gu family is still too powerful, whether in terms of strength, power, or influence. They are too strong, and they need to be weakened."
"At this time, Gu Xing, who is unfit to be the head of the Gu family, is the best choice. He will continue to weaken the Gu family. If he makes a mistake, a wrong decision, the Gu family may suffer a great loss of strength and vitality!"
"For example, this time, he made a wrong decision. He actually teamed up with Jiang Jie! Haha... and used the Gu Qing case as a breakthrough. He's really courting death! The Gu family will be seriously damaged this time."
"Gu Xing's actions during Gu Yan's resignation and the establishment of the parliament were remarkable. He was recognized by the nobles and became the new representative of the Gu family. After Gu Yan's death, he became the head of the Gu family, so no one opposed him."
"Gu Xing's ascension to the position of Patriarch of the Gu Family was due to his strength, popular support, and the general trend of the times. How can we stop him? We can only help him ascend to the throne and gain some benefits for ourselves."
For example, make Anzi more trusted by Gu Xing and have more power in the Gu family, etc.
"Brother, you keep saying that in the Gu Qing case, Gu Xing would fail miserably, or even die. What exactly happened?"
Wu Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "How should I know? Just like Jin Mao didn't know we had a hidden agent next to Gu Xing, I don't know what specific arrangements Jin Mao has made. We'll know only when the time comes."
Wu Hong wanted to say, "Brother, you are so bold. You don't know, but you are so confident that Jinmao can handle it. You are not afraid that if someone fails to handle it well, they will be affected."
…
After Gu Xing sent Lin Yu away again, he returned to the living room. When he faced his teammates, the smile on his face disappeared.
"Captain, isn't it wrong for us to do this? This is colluding with foreign enemies!" A team member stood up and said, with unwillingness in his eyes.
Collaborating with foreign enemies! Before the Corpse Demon Disaster, this was a very serious crime.
Gu Xing remained silent. A team member defended him, saying, "Things are different now. Now is the era of corpse demons. Our main enemy is the corpse demons. We should unite all forces to eliminate the corpse demons. All humans are our allies. The Jiang Principality is naturally our ally. To ally with them is indeed treason."
A team member scoffed and said, "You're so careless. Our Gu family is no longer a lord family. Issues like this are no longer something we need to consider. Our main mission now is to avenge our lord, revive the Gu family, and regain power. As for the means? When did our secret guards ever need to limit their methods? Naturally, completing the mission and achieving the goal are our top priorities. Who cares if there are any means involved?!"
Gu Xing glared at the team member who had just spoken and said, "Nonsense, why don't we need it anymore? We used to be the secret guards, but now we are the ones in charge of the Gu family. Our status is different, so of course we have to be cautious! Don't go out and say such lawless things in the future."
Although he reprimanded the team member just now, from Gu Xing's words and tone, you can tell that he was defending him.
Gu Xing glanced at everyone and said, "This matter is now a foregone conclusion. I don't care what opinions you have, you must let them go. The main thing is to complete the mission. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Captain."
The members of the Secret Guard answered in unison.
Gu Xing looked at his teammates, feeling a surge of emotion. Because of them, he could easily control the Gu family; they were his greatest strength.
After Gu Xing arranged the tasks, all the team members withdrew.
In the huge living room, Gu Xing was the only one left.
"Finally, I will avenge my lord. My lord, please wait a moment. The Wu brothers will be sent to you soon!"
Gu Xing's eyes were filled with hatred, and a powerful aura flashed across his body.
