The old butler was quite frightened and quickly tugged at Gu Huai's collar:
"My lord, you must hurry and follow him! What if the general loses his temper and beheads the Imperial Advisor?"
"Fine, I'll cut it then." Gu Huai's pupils flickered with anticipation.
"This man surnamed Yun has been bullying us in the imperial court for many years."
Half a year ago, he tricked the young emperor into sending me and the general to the northern frontier. You have no idea what the yellow sand and strong winds of the northern frontier are like; it's not a place for humans to live!
I think killing him wouldn't be too much of a deal!
The old steward continued to persuade him, "But His Majesty values him highly!"
Gu Huai paused slightly, then thought back to the day the rebellion was quelled, when the boy, sitting on the dragon throne, propped his head up with one hand, revealing two small tiger teeth, asked his general for a hug.
With a wave of his hand, he exuded confidence:
"I believe His Majesty values the General more!"
After saying that, he hurriedly followed, ready to watch the "grand spectacle of his own general beheading people".
housekeeper:……
Am I confused, or are you all confused?
… …
In the main hall, as soon as Gu Linyuan entered, Yun Munian immediately went to greet him "enthusiastically":
"General Gu is still practicing his sword late at night, he's really diligent!"
Gu Linyuan tightened his grip on the silver wrist guard.
The next moment, he suddenly raised his hand and accurately shot the longsword into the scabbard behind the main seat.
The sword's edge was sharp, severing the wisp of flamboyant white hair that Yun Mu Nian often kept on her forehead.
The silver threads drifted down.
At the same time, the general walked to the main seat and sat down, replying:
"Yes, I am no match for the Imperial Advisor."
He carries a compass all day long and uses his mouth to swindle and cheat.
This general has a sense of shame.
"You..." Yun Munian was so angry that she almost cursed out loud.
He took a deep breath, remembering that he had come to show off, and barely managed to suppress the anger in his heart.
With a slight smile, he opened the brocade box, revealing a nearly dried-out human head that had been taken from the city wall, and said smugly:
"Does the general still remember this?"
This afternoon, after some deduction, I realized that such actions would hinder the fortunes of our dynasty, so I came here specifically on the Empress Dowager's orders to return it.”
As she spoke, she placed the brocade box on the table next to Gu Linyuan.
A human head, a symbol of great misfortune, was placed on the main table in the main hall of a household.
This is a tremendous humiliation for the homeowner!
The moment he put down the brocade box, Gu Linyuan immediately raised his hand and knocked it over.
Before the head hit the ground, he suddenly drew the long sword from behind him.
Swords dance in silver light.
In just a few swift movements, he chopped the man's head into pieces.
Then, with incredible speed, he slapped all the shattered pieces back onto Yun Munian.
Yun Munian's white clothes were stained with blood.
The stench of the broken pieces made me feel nauseous.
He quickly reached out and brushed it away.
However, before she could make a move, Gu Linyuan lifted up a layer of her clothes.
He wrapped all the blood clots inside his pristine white imperial advisor robe.
Seeing the other person's pale, greenish face, Gu Linyuan's suppressed emotions finally eased a little:
"Since this thing is inauspicious, let's destroy it."
Please, Imperial Preceptor, take this back to the palace to report to the Empress Dowager and record this as a meritorious deed.
After saying that, he tied a knot in Yun Munian's robe to prevent the pieces from falling off.
Then, he instructed Gu Huai, who was watching the show through the window:
"Gu Huai, see the guests out!"
"Yes!" Gu Huai immediately walked in and excitedly gestured for Yun Mu Nian to enter.
"It's getting dark, Your Excellency, please take care."
"Fine! Gu Linyuan! Very well!" Yun Munian was so angry she was almost delirious.
"Wait until I report to His Majesty tomorrow!"
Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away, his body reeking of stench.
He thought: He must tell Jinjin about this when he gets back, and let her teach this unruly madman a lesson!
… …
The palace, late at night.
Yun Munian took a two-hour bath before changing her clothes and entering the Taiji Hall to meet the Emperor.
He stood before Si Jin and embellished his account of Gu Linyuan's crimes.
They were just waiting for his youth to erupt in fury and stand up for him.
To everyone's surprise, Si Jin simply leaned back lazily on the dragon throne and casually replied:
"In my opinion, General Gu did the right thing. Why are you so petty, my dear minister, clinging to such a trivial matter?"
