Chapter 345 I am the Ageless Goddess (I)
As the best parents, Gu Yi and Xiao believed in Gu Heng's judgment and made a choice quickly.
"Ah Qing actually has such an ambition, so we should help him."
Gu Yi came to his senses from his daze, thought seriously, and said slowly, "On the Northern Dynasty side, I originally wanted to support Yu Wensong——"
Gu Yi has always been clear and lucid about his "career" planning.
The moment he embarked on the journey to flee to the Northern Dynasty, Gu Yi had a simple plan.
The appearance of Yuwensong gave Gu Yi a clear target for support.
Gu Qingcheng's inventions of purified rock salt and horseshoes gave Gu Yi the capital to support others.
The Gu family successfully established themselves in the Northern Dynasty and were highly regarded by the emperor of the Northern Dynasty.
Under Gu Yi's planning, his younger brother Gu Ji, eldest son Gu Yong, second son Gu An, and nephews either entered the court as officials or served as assistants under the command of some of the great generals.
The Gu family spread out a network in the Northern Dynasty at the fastest speed.
Perhaps it cannot yet enter the center of power, but it has achieved stable and powerful development.
Oh, by the way, there is also Gu Youyi from the second house. Although she is young, she seems to have great wisdom.
She thought her relationship with Yuwen Heng was very secret, but she didn't know that it had already been known by the brothers Gu Heng and Gu Ji.
Not to mention anything else, just the letters between her and Yuwen Heng would be reviewed by the elders before being delivered to her.
Come to think of it, the Gu family is a noble family, a prestigious family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Even if they had to be exiled to the Northern Dynasties, it was not something that ordinary officials could compare to.
The little girl of the Gu family has countless people serving her openly and secretly.
The Gu family’s “access control” also has layer upon layer of security.
Without the tacit consent of the elders, even if they are "old friends", it is impossible to break through these blocks and easily interact with the little girl in the family.
For various considerations, Gu Yi agreed to Gu Youyi and Yuwen Heng's "relationship".
He and Gu Ji also became more optimistic about the marriage of their young children.
But, that was before—
"At that time, I wanted to enter the power center of the Northern Dynasty as soon as possible."
"Yuwensong is a member of the royal family. Marrying into their family is definitely the most convenient way for the Gu family."
"... Ah Qing has such ambitions, so I need to make new plans."
Compared with pushing the son-in-law of the Gu family to the position and fully supporting their own daughter, not to mention Gu Yi, even Gu Ji would choose the latter without hesitation.
No matter how close the son-in-law is, he is still a stranger to the other family.
And Gu Qing, her last name is Gu! For true nobles like Gu Yi and Gu Ji, there is a difference between sons and daughters, but it is not that different.
A daughter is also one's own flesh and blood and a member of the family.
If you train them well, you can still bring honor to your family.
The most important point is that Gu Yi owes his youngest daughter.
As parents, we always hope to give our children the best we have.
Gu Yi and Xiao had two sons and two daughters. The other three children were either Xiao’s father or Xiao’s mother, and they were basically all handsome men and beautiful women.
Only the youngest daughter inherited all the shortcomings of both of them.
Alas, when they thought of the little girl with dark yellow skin and sparse hair in their memory, Gu Yi and Xiao couldn't help but feel distressed and guilty.
Although in the past three years, when Gu Heng mentioned Gu Qing in the letters he wrote, he would always say things like "Maybe you have grown up, Aqing has become more beautiful."
But Gu Yi and Xiao couldn't imagine it.
In other words, for them, they don’t think that an ugly little girl will become a beautiful girl when she grows up.
Ugly people will only get uglier when they grow up! The little daughter is diligent and studious, and she will definitely leave her name in this era with her talent in the future.
But, but——
Everyone knows that Zhuge Wuhou's wife was a woman as talented as her husband, but the mark she left in history was the word "ugly".
There is also the more famous Queen Xuan of Qi! For a truly powerful person, appearance is not important.
They don't care about worldly opinions.
But, as relatives, they care.
If, Gu Yi meant if, his daughter could achieve unprecedented merit and perform epoch-making feats, then would she leave more marks in history?
People will pay attention to her gender and discuss her merits and demerits, instead of just focusing on her appearance!
For example, some people would scold Empress Lü for her cruelty, some would scold her for turning the world upside down, but few people discussed her appearance.
If one's daughter achieved more brilliant achievements than Empress Lu, her appearance would really not matter.
"My dear, you are right. We must rethink this matter!"
Xiao and Gu Yi are in tune with each other, and Xiao has also thought about the issues that Gu Yi has considered.
Now that you have decided to help your daughter, you have to change your strategy.
The family's resources will also be tilted in a different direction.
…
Gu Qingcheng found that he seemed to be getting things done more and more smoothly.
The troops under her command have rapidly expanded from less than two hundred to five hundred.
In addition, a lot of refined iron, ore and other materials were continuously transported from the Northern Dynasties.
Gu Qingcheng had served as both regent empress dowager and emperor.
Her intuition and sharpness are in no way inferior to her grandfather Gu Heng.
"... Grandfather, Father, Mother~~"
Gu Qingcheng felt the love of her family, and knew that they knew her ambitions and were doing their best to support her.
It is her great honor to have such relatives.
Gu Qingcheng's heart felt sour and warm. It felt so good to be understood, supported and protected!
"Your Majesty, please stop being moved! The system is almost frozen into a lump of ice!"
He endured the misfortune for a long time, but finally he couldn't bear it anymore.
Wow, half a year is about to pass, but Her Majesty the Queen doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of completing the mission.
Huoshui watched her diligently practicing martial arts, training troops vigorously, and working diligently on infrastructure every day, and he felt both admiration and anxiety.
Gu Qingcheng in this world is indeed positive and passionate.
But the novel world also needs the Queen to complete tasks and earn points.
"...Well, Your Majesty, I have a special mission here, and the rewards are very generous."
"Do you want to give it a try? Besides, this time it's definitely not a top-notch villain."
Huoshui spent a lot of money to seduce Gu Qingcheng.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This time it didn't say "random task", but instead selected a "special task" for her.
Gu Qingcheng was not sure whether she was touched by Huoshui's words, and asked curiously, "Special mission? What special mission?"
When Huoshui heard the tone, he felt that there was a way, and he quickly said, "It's the task that other executors haven't completed."
Gu Qingcheng: ...
She had thought before that the mission world couldn't always be easy and safe.
It is impossible for an executor to always be smooth and successful.
There are always times when tasks cannot be completed.
Now, Huoshui has been given a "special mission".
Gu Qingcheng asked suddenly, "What kind of punishment will there be if the executor fails to complete the task?"
Huoshui didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "Deduct the corresponding points!"
"What if you are a newbie, or if all your points are deducted for various reasons?"
Gu Qingcheng continued to ask.
How can I deduct points if they are zero? "Then just contact and bind them directly, and erase the executor's related memories!"
Huoshui answered as if it was a matter of course.
After saying this, it finally reacted and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, not everyone is as 'desireless' as you."
Other executors attach great importance to and rely on the system.
Obtaining the system is the greatest adventure in their ordinary lives.
And for them, the greatest punishment is to “gain and then lose”! “Will it not affect the executor himself?”
Gu Qingcheng ignored Huoshui's "accusation" and continued to ask questions that concerned her.
"No! We are a regular army, not a wild army!"
Using electric shocks or wiping out people at every turn is something that irregular wild systems would do.
When Huoshui mentioned the "wild army", his tone was full of the regular army's contempt for the ragtag army.
Gu Qingcheng nodded, temporarily accepting Huoshui's words.
"You just said that this special mission has rich rewards?"
Gu Qingcheng brought the topic back.
"Yes! Because it has failed once, the wisher is very dissatisfied."
"In order to appease the wisher, the system increased the reward to motivate the executor to complete the task well."
"As long as the executor can complete the task, the original reward points can be doubled."
Speaking of this, Huoshui became excited.
It fiddled with its imaginary fingers, "Hey, Your Majesty, look!"
"Normally, if you complete a task rated 'Perfect', you will receive 4 points."
"But for this special mission, if you complete it 'perfectly', you will get 8 points."
Just by doing a task, you can get so many points. How generous!
Thinking of Gu Qingcheng's obsession, Huoshui hurriedly added, "Your Majesty, your current appearance is 69, which is above the average person."
"If you add 8 more points, it will be 77 points, which makes her a beauty."
If she puts on some makeup and combines it with Gu Qingcheng's natural temperament, it's no problem to call her a great beauty.
Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows, "This reward is indeed generous!"
"But what if we fail? Will the points deducted also be doubled?"
Gu Qingcheng never only listens to the good side, she will think of the worst possible scenario.
"……Well!"
Huoshui was choked, and after a long while he said guiltily, "Yes! Double reward, naturally there will be double punishment!"
Gu Qingcheng sneered, she knew this would happen.
"Your Majesty, I believe in you! A task that others cannot complete is nothing to you!"
"Just give it a try! You're so good! There will definitely be no problem!"
The troublemaker began to act like a spoiled child.
Gu Qingcheng was unmoved, so Huoshui had to use his trump card, "Your Majesty, if you complete a few more 'special tasks', you will be able to remove the 'blockade' that the system has placed on you."
"several times?"
"Uh, at least three times!"
"Okay! I'll take this 'special mission'!"
