Gu Nian meant to ask the Peng family to bury it, while the Peng brothers meant to have the Gu family send someone to bury it, or Lu Zheng's men could do it.
Gu Nian was speechless. You let Lu Zheng's men bury it? Aren't you afraid that he'll pick on the men who buried the flag?
In the end, Gu Xin suggested that they find someone who was not familiar with either of them to bury the body alone.
Who is it?
Gu Xin chose Hu Liang, the county magistrate.
This Hu Liang was one of the imperial guards, specially selected by the emperor to serve Gu Shouxin. He was a man of few words, similar in personality to Xue Qianyu. He was not close to the siblings and always carried out the tasks assigned by Gu Shouxin.
Hu Liang is quite skilled in martial arts. It is said that he was originally promoted to the position of commander of the imperial guards after Xue Qianyu left.
Upon hearing this, the Peng brothers thought it was a good idea. People who served the emperor were naturally meticulous in their work and would probably have a knack for hiding things, so it should be challenging.
Then came the selection of referees and patrol team members.
That's easy. We can just pick a group of people to take charge. There's no fighting recently, and the soldiers don't have anything else to do besides training. We can just pick people who are off duty that day to do this.
As for the candidates on both sides, the women's camp had ninety-nine women. Apart from Madam Peng, the second wife, and the third wife, there were ninety-six women left, which were divided into two teams.
To ensure that their strengths were evenly matched, the Peng brothers suggested dividing the Gu sisters into two teams as well, making a total of four people.
Gu Nian didn't care; it was just a game, not a real conflict, so she brought Huo Yanyu to join the Peng family's camp.
Peng Sanlang: We want Xinxin!
Gu Nian understood perfectly well, but she wouldn't give him the chance. "Xin Xin and you guys, do you want Xin Xin to lead your team in a rebellion?"
As for Gu En, she naturally followed Lu Zheng's side.
Peng Sanlang felt that he was getting the better deal, so he insisted on bringing Huo Junhao along. He hadn't met Gu En much and assumed that the Gu family all followed the path of the imperial examinations. He thought Gu En was a bookworm, and since the other side had a bookworm, they should have one too, otherwise they would be bullying the other side.
Gu En: I feel like you're insulting me. Just for that reason, I'll take Brother Yuan as my third brother-in-law!
How dare you compare me to Huo the prodigy?
He's better at studying than me, but his kung fu skills are really not as good as mine!
Gu En was absolutely right about this. Huo Junhao only knew rudimentary martial arts skills. He couldn't even beat the two younger siblings of the Gu family, let alone the two older ones.
Perhaps God gave him all the talent in his brain, but not in his body. He's really bad at martial arts, even worse than Huo Yanyu.
Huo Yanyu has been practicing martial arts with the Gu siblings for a year, and now she can beat her brother.
Since the other party insisted on Huo Junhao, Lu Zheng had nothing to say. That kid might not be good at fighting, but he was smart!
After it was decided, and the Peng family left, Gu Xin pulled Gu Si aside and whispered, "Sisi, Huo Shentong is more familiar with Hu Liang than we are, so he probably knows Hu Liang's habits. And he's so smart, when Huo Shentong gets the flag, we'll just snatch it from him."
Gu Si nodded, thinking it was a great idea: "Mm!"
Gu Nian and Huo Yanyu were speechless. Did these two girls no longer consider them to be on the same side from now on?
Why don't they try to curry favor with them and win them over?
Fine, if you won't try to win us over, we'll see what happens on the mountain.
When the Gu family members gathered in the evening and learned about the event, they were all very supportive. Since the sisters were on opposing sides, they couldn't just wish them victory; they only said that participation was the most important thing!
