Jin Mao, Wu Zheng, Jiang Jie and other superiors all knew that Gu Xing's departure was the prelude to this political struggle.
Wu Hong asked, "Brother, do you want to..." Wu Hong made an obscure gesture of beheading.
Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "No need, Jin Mao will take care of it."
He would never take on such a thankless task.
"Jinmao will definitely take care of it."
Even if it is not handled properly, it is Jinmao's fault. Why should he stop it?
However, in order to control the development of the situation, he still whispered: "Our hidden forces, mobilize with all your strength, but do not take action, ensure that the information is clear and follow my orders."
Wu Hong immediately went down to make arrangements.
…
"My lord, Gu has taken action!" Lin Yu said excitedly.
Jiang Jie, who was paying close attention to Gu Xing, naturally saw it as well and said with a smile, "Looks like there's going to be something interesting to watch soon."
"My lord, what do you think is Gu Xing's trump card?" Lin Yu asked.
The foundation of each lord's family is very strong. They are families supported by an entire territory and are the rulers of the world. Some of them have been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
It’s really hard to say what the hidden cards are.
"Nothing more than elixirs, secret techniques, and weapons. It's just a matter of seeing the difference in effect. I hope Gu Xing won't let me down!"
In fact, Jiang Jie didn't care whether Gu Xing succeeded or not. As long as they started fighting internally, it would be best if both sides were hurt. It would be best if he could reap the benefits!
"It's about to begin, and everything should proceed according to plan. We must protect Gu Xing's operation and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Understood, my lord."
…
"Father, Gu Xing, left?!"
This public trial was organized by Gu Xing through Jiang Jie, but now it is completely different from what they imagined.
However, Gu Xing did not make any unnecessary movements, which surprised Jin Chen.
Now seeing Gu Xing leave halfway, he immediately understood that Gu Xing was going to make a move.
What Jin Chen can understand, Jin Mao will naturally understand as well.
Jinmao had anticipated this.
In fact, he has already guessed what the trump card is!
As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is your enemy.
The Jin family had long harbored ulterior motives and had never stopped spying on the Gu family.
In the great battle against the corpse demon, the Gu family played all their cards.
The Gu family's hidden cards had already been explored by the Jin family.
In that great battle, all of Gu's trump cards were used up. Now, the only trump cards Gu's family had were obtained after the establishment of the water fort.
In this way, the means are limited. According to his analysis, he already understands what Gu's trump card is.
Originally, he had already prepared to kill Gu Xing by force, but this would leave a stain on him, which would be detrimental to his future actions.
However, after receiving the news that Fang Yuan had advanced in time, Jin Mao immediately changed his plan.
At least until now, everything has gone according to his plan.
"Don't worry about it, we'll know the answer in a moment."
Seeing his father calm and miserable, Jin Chen managed to calm down.
Jin Mao looked at his heir and shook his head. He was far inferior to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan, that is the true talent of a lord!
I don’t know how a declining warrior family could cultivate such a talented person.
If he had not planned ahead and established a parliamentary system, and if Fang Yuan had not had the desire to be in power, the territory would have been ruled by someone else by now.
However, Fang Yuan is smart, and that’s where his cleverness lies.
Although he is not in power, everything in the territory will definitely be to his liking because of his strength and influence!
Let him just decide whether it is agreeable or not. Naturally, he does not need to interfere in the specific actions.
Fang Yuan is the uncrowned king!
Was it right for me to keep Jin Chen by my side and let him learn these political tactics?!
Jin Mao glanced at Jiang Jie and shook his head. This man had also fallen into the machinations and had fallen behind! He didn't have the pure heart of a warrior to practice.
Thinking of this, he immediately gave King Wu, who had founded the parliamentary system, great praise. He understood that he was the one who truly understood the rules of this world!
So he murmured to himself: "King Wu, you are the real genius!"
"Father, what did you say?" Although Jin Chen was close, he couldn't hear clearly because Jin Mao's voice was too soft. He thought he had something to tell him, so he asked.
Jin Mao shook his head and said nothing.
…
Ruan Qi was surprised and said, "Hey, at this critical moment, Patriarch Gu actually left the table?"
The Gu family was utterly disgraced this time. Unexpectedly, the Gu family didn't even come out to refute a single word, allowing these negative stories about the Gu family to continue to be exposed.
It’s so quiet!
Even a newcomer in the aristocratic circle like Ruan Qi noticed something was wrong.
Fang Yuan glanced around and saw that Jin Mao, Wu Zheng, and the others were all calm and composed. He said nonchalantly, "It's okay. He can't cause any trouble."
Ruan Qi asked: "Why?!"
Fang Yuan was too calm, as if he knew something secret that he didn't know.
"Do you know... any inside information?" Ruan Qi asked in a low voice.
Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "How would I know any inside information? I only spoke a little bit because I saw that Uncle Jin and Wu Zheng were confident and calm."
"Besides, don't I still have you? Don't worry, Gu Xing can't turn the tables."
After hearing the previous few sentences, Ruan Qi looked at Jin Mao and Wu Zheng. They were indeed calm and composed. They understood everything and were no longer worried.
After hearing the last sentence, Fang Yuan's domineering words, the last trace of worry disappeared.
Yes! Fang Yuan has been promoted to the combat school!
He jokingly said, "Brother Yuan, you are becoming more and more domineering now."
Fang Yuan shook his head and didn't respond, continuing to follow the progress of the public trial.
…
Among the nobles
"Gu Xing left, it's time to start!"
"I don't know who will win or lose in the end?!"
"What's going on? Why haven't any of the Jin and Wu family left the table?"
"Has it been arranged? After all, Gu Xing is a high-ranking warrior. There's no need to mobilize those captains to intercept him."
"Gu Xing hasn't even been promoted to War Captain, yet he dares to launch a restoration? I heard that he exchanged a lot of medicine from Lord Zheng Yuan. I'm afraid he has been promoted to War Captain now?!"
"Master Zheng Yuan is aiding the enemy like this, Master Wu, won't you say anything about him?"
"I heard that Patriarch Fang Wu not only doesn't oppose Lord Zheng Yuan's career, but is also very supportive. He offers advice, money, and effort."
"Because of Lord Zheng Yuan's business, in addition to corpse hunters, there's now a profession called corpse catcher. I heard it's even more popular than corpse hunters."
"What is it that Lord Zheng Yuan is offering? They are all top-tier elixirs and weapons, most of which are recorded in history. We are thankful that we have the channels to buy them, and we will naturally actively patronize Lord Zheng Yuan's business."
