Gu Ling'er obviously didn't know what husband she had, so she was shy about hiding into her father's arms. Gu Shouye looked careless and held her in his arms.

Hou Xuanyan rolled his eyes and pursed his lips and said, "Old Gu, the situation is urgent, why are you still free to joke here?"

Gu Youde raised his head and looked at him, and said leisurely: "Who said I was joking?"

Hou Xuanyan frowned and said anxiously: "To be honest, the boy is twenty-one this year, so his granddaughter is just a girl... How can he talk about marriage?"

Gu Youde picked up the tea, took a sip, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Hou Xuanyan's hatred for this old lewd stick continued to soar. He really had no time to spend here, and there were still a few major things waiting for him to do. Capturing Suzhou was only the first step, and there were too many things to do to take it completely in his own hands.

"I am nearly 70 years old. The newly-acquisitioned concubine a few days ago is only sixteen years old. I am a 70-year-old man. You and Ling'er are only a teenager apart, so why not?"

It was indeed a lust. Hou Xuanyan secretly complained a few words, clapped his hands and said hurriedly: "Can this be the same?"

Gu Shouye has given birth to many sons, but only one daughter, and he is usually regarded as the pearl in his hand.

When he saw Hou Xuanyan's attitude, he boldly said, "Dad, since you are the young master..."

"Shut up! I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to take power in this family."

Gu Shouye did not dare to disobey his father, and hugged Gu Ling'er tightly. When the latter saw his grandfather who had always been afraid roaring at his father, he was so scared that he hugged in Gu Shouzheng's arms and did not dare to show his head.

"Among my husband's granddaughter, Ling'er has not betrothed to others yet. Xuanyan, if the bright people don't say secret words, you and I are both smart people, and I may be relatives in the future, so I will just say it.

You have a special status, neither from the Ming army in Taihu Lake nor from Suzhou. Jiading City is broken, your whole family dies for the country. Looking at the world, you have no foundation and want to make a difference in Suzhou alone. You need the support of us local tyrants, right?"

"right."

Gu Youde said his heartfelt words without reservation. Seeing that he admitted generously, he nodded with satisfaction. If he had to hide it at this time and dare not expose his ambitions, such a person would be a waste to support him.

"Our Gu family has been operating Suzhou for generations. I am not bragging about it. Half of the gentry in Suzhou City is headed by me. Even if the governor wants to attack us, they will come out to support us. Being the son-in-law of the Gu family, it will be beneficial to you in control of Xuzhou. Can you admit it?"

Hou Xuanyan nodded and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Gu Youde.

"Don't worry, after listening to me, the young man is a little patient."

Hou Xuanyan sued him and spread his hands to signal him to continue.

"Then how do you guarantee that after you take Suzhou, you won't attack us like the national treasure? How can you make us believe your guarantee? Haha, can you rely on the oath?"

Hou Xuan was embarrassed. He always liked to swear to the sky with his fists, and if he violated his family and died. Especially when he took Suzhou this time, it can be said that no strategy would be insidious.

After touching his nose, Hou Xuanyan was speechless. He glanced at the little girl who was sticking her butt, placing her head in her father's arms, and regulating her head regardless of her ass. Hou Xuanyan sighed in his heart and thought she had raised a sister...

However, from this starting point, I will have to play this Loli-grown app for ten years before I can pass the level...

Without further ado, since Hou Xuanyan decided on this matter, he refused to waste another second. He raised the teacup and bent down and said, "My father-in-law is here, and the son-in-law is polite."

Gu Youde touched his beard and felt more satisfied the more he looked at it. This kid was determined and courageous, and he looked like he was doing big things.

Gu Shouye felt miserable and felt that some of his treasures had been taken away by someone. He could not like this so-called son-in-law.

Gu Youde said with a smile: "There is a villa next to the Suzhou Prefectural Office, which is the property of our Gu family. No one lives in it all year round, and only a few servants clean up the yard on weekdays. You just came to Suzhou and had no place to settle down, so just treat it as Ling'er's dowry."

Hou Xuanyan thought to himself that I finally got a house in the city center, and I finally got married to a phoenix woman and become a peacock man.

After thanking again, Hou Xuanyan looked serious. He leaned close to Gu Youde and whispered: "Now there are street fighting in Suzhou, and the remnants of Qinggou have not been eliminated. If the war ceases, there will be five thousand troops coming to Taihu Lake, and it is more than enough to control Suzhou."

Gu Youde frowned and asked, "What are your plans?"

"Force them out of Suzhou and attack Hangzhou. I need a rebel army. You must know that power comes from swords, guns, feathers and arrows."

Gu Youde breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although there are swords, guns, feathers and arrows, where do the rebels come from?"

Hou Xuanyan took out a flag from his arms, put it on the table, and opened it and saw that it was the well-known "Jiading Huiyi Master". He folded it gently, hid the word Jiading, dipped it in tea, and wrote the word Jiangsu and Zhejiang on the table.

Gu Youde's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Suijiang and Zhejiang Suppression of Huiyi Master?" He was so big, so big, he had a big appetite. It seems that this cheap son-in-law from home has a big appetite. Suzhou is his dish, but it is just an appetizer.

Gu Youde blushed excitedly at Gu Shouye, and said, "Go and build such a flag and stand it at our doorstep. Then send his servants to invite the big families to the mansion to gather." After that, he glanced at Hou Xuanyan, who nodded secretly and agreed.

"The son-in-law has something important to do, so I won't stay here for a long time. See you tomorrow."

"Go, let me leave the matter here, so you can rest assured."

Hou Xuanyan only felt that he was transparent and working with a wise man was relieved. Among the characters he saw after coming to the Ming Dynasty, Gu Youde, the old lewd stick, was considered the first smart person.
