Chapter 413 People from the Previous Dynasty

"I had originally planned to lead people to meet up with the general that day. I thought it would be faster, so I took a different route. I had walked that route many times before. Who knew that day I would miss a step and fall into a corridor."

"After falling, my ribs were broken and my legs were injured. I didn't have any suitable tools, so I couldn't climb out. I could only rest for a while and then walk deeper. After walking around for about half an hour, I saw a place where an altar was set up. After careful counting, there were twelve bronze tripods surrounding the large gilded tripod in the middle. I knew at a glance that they were performing a ritual."

Luo Yuan spoke carefully and Gu Shaoyu listened attentively.

"I was worried that someone might be trying to harm the general, so I waited there and waited. Sure enough, on the fourth day, someone showed up. I had never seen them before, but they didn't look like people from Daxing. They were dark-skinned and not very tall. They also had something on their faces that looked weird."

"Southeast Asians?"

Gu Shaoyu's words made Luo Yuan feel a little embarrassed. He had never seen a Nanyang person, so he couldn't judge.

"There are wizards in Nanyang. I saw one once. He exuded some evil spirit all over his body. It was obvious that he was not a good person."

"Yes, yes, that's right. I felt the same way at the time. Plus, I didn't understand a word they said, but the pronunciation of the Gu family appeared several times, so I had a rough guess in my mind."

"In order not to alert the enemy, I waited until the next day after they left before I went to take a look. Sure enough, the birth dates of Marshal Gu and his companions were written on it, and there were also some inexplicable talismans and red strings. Only then did I understand that they stole the bones of Marshal Gu and his companions in order to set up a formation."

The more Gu Shaoyu listened, the more uneasy he felt.

"What formation?"

"In the middle of the formation are the tablets of Emperor Renzhao and Dayu's national destiny."

Dayu was the previous dynasty overthrown by the Daxing Dynasty, and Emperor Renzhao was the last emperor of Dayu. These two things appeared in the underground of Qingshui Town, and Gu Shaoyu had countless thoughts.

But the most direct thing is that someone is planning a rebellion.

The Daxing Dynasty has been established for several decades and can be said to be stable, but it cannot be said to be completely stable. After all, the war in the northwest has only been temporarily suspended, and who knows where the remnants of the former Dayu are still hiding.

When he thought of this, his face became even uglier.

"Are there any other clues?"

"I left a mark when I came out, so I can find it back later. But General, are you ready to do it now?"

Luo Yuan's words were very direct. For them, finding this place was not difficult, but the difficult part was how to find out the person behind it.

There are certainly remnants of the previous dynasty, but there are also many traitors in this dynasty.

Although there is no solid evidence, Gu Shaoyu has a hunch that it must be related to the people of the seventh branch of the Gu family. Otherwise, in Jinling City, in the Gu family's ancestral hall, how could someone steal the bones of his grandfather and others without anyone noticing and make this stupid formation? He doesn't believe it!

However, the seventh branch of the Gu family is at most a gatekeeper, and the real big shot must be still behind, so Gu Shaoyu naturally wants to catch the big fish.

So, after a moment's silence, he spoke to Luo Yuan.

"Just take good care of your injuries first, I will take care of this matter myself."

"General, the remains of the old marshal and his men..."

"It's easy to destroy the altar, but it will cut off the clues. If my grandfather were still alive, he would not allow such a person who brings disaster to the country and the people to stay. So let's not do anything for now. I want to find those Nanyang people first."

"Yes, General."

No one would feel good about having their relatives and the person they respect the most treated like this, and Gu Shaoyu was no exception. However, as long as he kept the altar, he would surely be able to accomplish great things in the future, so Gu Shaoyu had to calm himself down and remember not to act impulsively.

After chatting with Luo Yuan here, he returned to Qiwuyuan.

It was already dark at this moment, and Du Jingyi had been waiting for him to have dinner for a while.

Seeing him walk in with a serious look on his face, Du Jingyi went forward to pull him. If he hadn't pulled him, he wouldn't have known how cold his palms were.

Since Du Jingyi had physical contact with him, she had never seen him like this, so she said with heartache.

"What's wrong with you, General? Are you cold?"

Then he asked Yingtao to bring a bowl of ginger soup. After drinking the warm soup, Gu Shaoyu recovered a lot. Then he told Du Jingyi everything Luo Yuan said.

Du Jingyi was surprised, but also admired her husband very much.

If the matter did not fall on his shoulders, he would not feel the responsibility was too heavy to bear. However, it was indeed a heart-wrenching pain for him to insist on not taking back the remains of his beloved grandfather, uncle and brothers even though he knew that the others had evil intentions.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Therefore, Du Jingyi didn't know how to comfort him to make him feel better. He could only stay by his side silently, without saying much, but giving him some warmth.

After a moment of relaxation, Gu Shaoyu's mood finally calmed down.

Now that the decision has been made, he must stick to it no matter how difficult it is. Moreover, there are still many things to do now. Gu Shaoyu doesn't know how many people are weaving the big net behind the scenes, but what he is sure of is that he will tear the big net apart with his own hands to comfort the spirits of his grandfather and others in heaven.

"The Su family's shipping business is so prosperous, so they must have had dealings with people from Southeast Asia. The general can ask his great uncle."

"No, Luo Yuan was just found, and I asked the Su family to investigate the matter of the Nanyang people. With the caution of my seventh cousin, he will definitely notice something. So, can I borrow Madam Yan Zhiqing's identity to secretly investigate it?"

"Of course you can, but I haven't had much experience with people from Southeast Asia before, so it might take some time."

"It doesn't matter. When things calm down, the other party will be more easily investigated."

Du Jingyi nodded, saying that this was not difficult, and then he found Lizhu.

"Lizhu, go find Mr. Leng tomorrow and tell him that there are goods from the south that need to be shipped to the north. Ask him to prepare the money for two trucks."

This was the codeword between Du Jingyi and Mr. Leng. Once this was mentioned, it would mean that Yan Zhiqing's power would be mobilized. Li Zhu was well aware of this.

But she didn't quite understand why Yan Zhiqing had to be involved for no reason. However, she never questioned the lady's orders, so she nodded in agreement and walked out.

After she left, Du Jingyi explained to Gu Shaoyu.

"Mr. Leng is my father's confidant. He is secretly handling most of the Yan family's business for me."
