King Lang's life can also be considered a tragedy.
As he was making arrangements to take all his direct descendants to Langge Kingdom and replace them one by one, the Qu Royal Palace was completely destroyed.
Twenty years ago, he finally had a healthy son at Lange Palace, but then the queen and son were murdered.
Fortunately, after he returned to the Great Zhou from Langge Kingdom via the underground passage, he met a village girl in the forest who gave birth to his son and preserved his bloodline. In other words, Peng Mu is now his only son.
If Peng Mu is in trouble, what's the point of him seizing the throne? He can't possibly let his daughter inherit it, can he?
daughter?
King Lang suddenly thought of his daughters, who were all married and had children. If Peng Mu really had an accident, then he would have to choose his nephew. In short, his nephew also had his blood, and if he changed his surname, it would still be his family's domain.
We can just kill the son-in-law's whole family when the time comes.
Lange was pondering what to do if Peng Mu got into trouble, but since it would take more than a month of sea travel to return from the Fuzhou coast, he decided to wait.
...
In Fuzhou, General Peng and his men arrived at the inn at the hour of Yin (3-5 AM) the next day. Gu Hui woke up as soon as they arrived.
She is a light sleeper at night, and when she hears noises outside, she opens the door to check.
“We’re here!” Gu Hui said, frowning.
She had a bad feeling. Peng Mu had disappeared, and apart from the fact that someone had followed their carriage earlier, no one had looked for him.
Uncle Peng only brought a team of a hundred men, but he brought two people and He Sanniang back with him when he entered the city.
Uncle Peng asked for a room and hurried upstairs.
"Where is he?" he asked Gu Hui.
"Inside." Gu Hui turned around and led Uncle Peng inside.
Peng Mu was also awake at this moment. When he heard Uncle Peng's voice, he was filled with tears and made a sobbing sound.
Uncle Peng wanted to hit him, but remembering that he had been weak since childhood, he silently put down the foot he had raised.
He squatted down and pulled open Peng Mu's swaddled cloth.
"Dad," Peng Mu called out pitifully.
"Hmph! You still acknowledge me as your father? What have you done? Do you know that this is treason?" General Peng Si said sternly.
"I was wrong, Father. I know I was wrong," Peng Mu said in a hoarse voice, shaking his head.
"Don't apologize to me. When you get back, apologize to your grandfather and your Uncle Gu! I can't stop them from fighting or killing. I'm only responsible for taking you back!" General Peng said ruthlessly.
After saying that, he gagged Peng Mu, stood up and said to Gu Hui, "I'll take this boy back to his room. You girls should rest for an hour. We'll leave the city at dawn!"
Gu Hui pursed her lips: "Fourth Uncle, if you have anything to say to Peng Mu, let's talk about it after we leave the city! It's safer for him to stay with me."
General Peng frowned and looked at Gu Hui: "You don't trust me?"
Gu Hui remained silent.
"Ha!" General Peng Si laughed angrily. "You little brat, although I am his father, I am also the garrison commander of Kuncheng. You can question my love for his son, but you cannot question my patriotism! While I was fighting on the battlefield, you were still playing in the mud!"
Princess Jinghe was furious and stood next to Gu Hui: "General Peng Si, what do you mean by this? Do you look down on us because we weren't born like you? You are his father. Doubting your compassion for him is not the same as questioning your patriotism."
