Chapter 638 Dumbfounded
The Gu family of the Northern Dynasty was in deep trouble due to the leak of the horseshoe. In order to escape the dilemma, they had to marry their daughter to the Yuwen family in advance.
The news quickly spread from Pingcheng to the riverside.
Then Chen Duan knew.
"I have caused trouble for the Gu family!"
Even though Chen Duan was a cunning and suspicious superior with a heart as hard as stone, he still felt a little guilty when he heard such news.
Aqing had deep feelings for him, so even though she knew her parents and relatives were in the Northern Dynasty, she still told him the secret of the horseshoe.
Chen Duan was only concerned about his own benefit and did not help the Gu family to conceal the truth.
Horseshoes instantly became popular along the entire riverside.
With such a "big fanfare", how could the Northern Dynasty not hear about it?
Although it was not leaked by Gu's family, it is still related to the Gu family.
Therefore, the Gu family in the north became the target of public criticism.
If you don’t handle it properly, your life may be in danger!
"Aqing was so sincere to me, but I caused her parents to be imprisoned!"
Chen Duan stood by the river, looking at the military camp on the opposite bank and further to the north, feeling more and more guilty.
Because he was holding a letter in his hand, written by Aqing.
In the letter, Aqing told him in detail about the development and current situation of Guangcheng.
In Guangcheng, she prospered shipping and trade, reclaimed wasteland, produced salt and sugar, and built bridges and roads...
She was really managing the territory well for him.
She also really tried hard to raise food, wages and logistical needs for him.
As for her parents, she only mentioned briefly: "My father and mother miss their homeland and want to return to the south soon!"
"Silly Ah Qing! Why are you so stupid?"
"I'm in Jiangling, and across from me are the Northern Dynasty troops. I know the 'truth' better than you do."
"How can you say 'missing your homeland'? It's obvious that you are being dragged down by me and can't gain a foothold in the Northern Dynasty!"
"...Aqing! You are so stupid!"
It's so stupid that it makes people feel sad.
Report good news but not bad news! Be considerate and understanding of the other party's mistakes without complaining at all! Stupid! Really stupid!
But she is so cute and respectable, which makes him feel distressed!
"Ah Qing! Don't worry! This matter is caused by me. I will never let your parents or family be harmed in the slightest!"
Chen Duan held the letter tightly and his eyes became determined.
As the second-in-command of the Southern Dynasty, Liang Wang Chen Duan not only had tens of thousands of troops, he also had many secret agents planted in the Northern Dynasty.
Although Chen Duan is a military general, he appears rough on the outside but is actually very cunning and scheming.
The Northern Dynasty's secret agents were only used to collect intelligence or do some very important things.
Chen Duan rarely uses it unless necessary.
It will not be used on a large scale.
And this time, for his silly Aqing, Chen Duan tried his best!
He sent a secret letter to gather all the spies operating in Pingcheng.
A rescue plan was specified, and it was stated that all members of the Gu family must be brought out of the Northern Dynasty safely at all costs!
…
In Gu Yi's study, a man in black Hu clothing stood with his back bent.
Gu Yi looked at him carefully and asked softly, "You said you were the King of Liang's man?"
"Yes! Slave Shadow Eleven is the shadow guard of His Royal Highness Prince Liang."
"When the King of Liang heard that Mr. Gu wanted to return to his homeland, he ordered me to lead my men to escort him."
Shadow eleven?
Hearing such a unique name, Gu Yi knew that this should be a very secret force of King Liang - Shadow Guard! Most of these guards were trained from childhood and named according to numbers.
They are not independent persons, but tools of their masters.
Shadow 11 and the like should not be fixed.
When this Shadow Eleven dies, a new Shadow Eleven will take his place.
"Shadow Guard, how many of you are there?"
"Also, our Gu family has a total population of 37 people, and some valuables. If we leave Pingcheng, it will definitely attract attention."
Gu Yi knew that his daughter had already made arrangements.
In fact, even the two brothers Gu Yi and Gu Ji had prepared a "retreat".
But, since King Liang’s men have already arrived, it’s better not to waste their resources.
However, Gu Yi must confirm whether King Liang’s men are reliable.
"Don't worry, my lord. We have forty people in total."
Ying Shiyi felt a little sad when he said this.
Alas, after operating in Pingcheng for more than ten years, this is the situation.
And this time, I guess I have to give it all up.
In addition to people, there are also——
"In addition, we have a secret passage. You can leave through it!"
The secret passage leads directly to the outside of the city, and is the result of more than ten years of hard work by the shadow guards.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although it doesn't necessarily have to be discarded after using it once.
However, when the Shadow Guard does anything, he always has to anticipate the worst possible scenario beforehand.
If the Northern Dynasties’ suspicion was aroused during the retreat, this secret passage would become unusable.
And these shadow guards, once their identities are exposed, they will never be able to return to Pingcheng!
They could only return to the Southern Dynasty or continue to hide in other remote cities.
However, Pingcheng, as the capital of the Northern Dynasty, had to be abandoned! This was a huge loss for both the Shadow Guard and the King of Liang.
"Okay! I'll trouble you all then!"
Upon hearing that there was a secret passage, Gu Yi was quite surprised.
He also gained confidence in these shadow guards.
So the Gu family started to get busy.
On the surface, it was for the wedding ceremony of Gu Youyi and Yuwen Heng.
In fact, it was for the whole family to retreat.
April 6th is a good day to get married!
Gu Youyi, wearing her wedding dress and holding a round fan, slowly walked out of the Gu family.
The 128 loads of dowry had already been sent to the general's mansion.
As the female family, the Gu family also has to invite guests.
It was a noisy night with bright lights.
On the second day, the Gu family fell into silence.
The neighbors around didn't suspect anything.
The wedding ceremony is over, so we can’t continue to rejoice.
But soon, someone discovered something was wrong——
Three days later, when they returned home, Gu Youyi and Yuwen Heng saw the door of the Gu family locked!
When I opened the door, it was empty.
The person is gone!
Not only masters like Gu Yi, but also some loyal servants brought from the Southern Dynasty.
The study is empty! The Gu family's collection of books was brought from the Southern Dynasty to the Northern Dynasty.
Now, he was taken away again! "This, this——"
Looking at the empty house again and again, Gu Youyi was dumbfounded.
Even Yuwen Heng feels absurd.
Gu Jia, what are you doing? Are you scared by the rumors? This shouldn't be the case!
The Gu family has already married into the Yuwen family, so they are now family.
Those rumors outside can't hurt them at all.
There are also rumors that the rumors are not false, and Gu Shi does have "disloyal intentions"? But, but before they left, why did they marry Gu Youyi to him? For a real family, daughters are also very precious, okay?
Unless, they abandoned Gu Youyi from the very beginning!
What he thought was a treasure was actually Gu's abandoned child! Yuwen Heng couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, and Gu Youyi was completely confused: What's going on? It's fine that my father doesn't want me, but why does he also want my mother?
Xie family?
Ahem, she had already been drugged...
