Seeing the beard die in front of her, Ling Hanjing was so frightened that she said, "Ah!"
She screamed and ran towards Yiye Guhong. Yiye Guhong was a little wary, thinking that this woman was trying to play another trick, but when she saw Ling Hanjing throwing herself into his arms, she burst into tears.
A woman's tears can soften a man's heart. Yiye Guhong stared at her for a long time, finally calmed down and coaxed: "Okay, it's okay. Don't be afraid. The bad guys are all dead. Don't be afraid." While coaxing.
While caressing her trembling back.
Hearing the man's deep voice coming from his chest, Ling Hanjing suddenly woke up from her trance and pulled away from his embrace as if she was electrocuted.
Then, she took a few steps back and said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm just, I'm just too scared."
Yiye Guhong looked around nervously and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, don't worry about it." It was probably the first time for the girl in the boudoir to see a dead person! She also watched him kill people.
"Brother Hong!"
At this time, a familiar figure in the distance caught the attention of two people. They turned around at the same time and saw Aki running towards them.
Yiye Guhong raised his hand and called: "Aji!"
Aji came to him and asked doubtfully: "Brother Hong, what's the matter with you? Why didn't you go to the appointment?"
Hearing this, Yiye Guhong glanced at the flustered Ling Hanjing, who lowered her eyes in shame and remained silent.
Yiye Guhong turned his head, looked at Aji, and said apologetically: "It's a long story, and it's hard to explain to you. You can make another trip!"
"What? Are you fooling around with me?! Do you really think I'm an errand boy?" Aki complained dissatisfied.
Yiye Guhong patted his thin shoulder apologetically and said in a deep voice: "Go quickly! I will tell you the whole story when I have the chance."
Just when he came back and wanted to go again, Aji gave him a sad look, turned around, and walked listlessly towards the city.
As soon as Aji left, the two of them fell into embarrassment again.
Ling Hanjing walked a few steps by herself and asked cautiously: "Can you tell me why you have a grudge against the Gu family? Of course, you don't have to tell me. I don't mean to force you."
After this incident, the relationship between the two was somewhat relieved, Yiye Guhong also relaxed his mind, and Ling Hanjing changed from being afraid to being cautious.
She was less wary and suddenly came up with the idea of reconciling the grudges between the two families!
Perhaps, she can resolve the misunderstanding between the two families.
Yiye Guhong followed Ling Hanjing's footsteps, lowered his eyes and thought deeply for a while, and said calmly:
"Ten years ago, several days of heavy rain in Licheng caused floods, causing farmland to be flooded, houses to be destroyed, and many people drowned. The people in Licheng were displaced and miserable..."
"Later, the imperial court sent Jiedu envoy Gu Changwu to take charge of disaster relief and water conservancy projects. However, this dog official was so proud of his achievements that he issued a military order in front of the emperor. It was obvious that the water conservancy project would take six to seven years or even longer to be completed, but he boasted in front of the emperor.
The water conservancy construction was completed in two or three years, and a military order was issued."
"However, when we came to the actual site inspection, the manpower, material resources, and financial resources for the construction were all a big problem. Later, because the project was huge and there was not much time left before the deadline given by the emperor, they moved several surrounding counties to meet the deadline.
All the men were captured and the people were forced to work..."
"At that time, my father was a staff member of the river governor specializing in special skills in this project. He also made some achievements in building water conservancy. In order to solve the problems, my father made many suggestions..."
"However, instead of adopting it, Gu Changwu forced the labor force to work day and night, without food, and often beat and scolded him, which is inhumane..."
"This incident resulted in the death of many people. In order to cover up the fact, they buried the bodies secretly. My father couldn't stand it and wanted to report Gu Changwu's crime to the police. Who would have expected that he knew about it in advance and had my father killed?
Killing in secret..."
Ling Han listened quietly to him recounting this cruel fact, and couldn't help but sigh: "The time that originally took six or seven years has been shortened by half. This has nothing but brought endless disasters to the lives of the people."
"I didn't expect...it turns out that you and the Gu family have such a bloody feud."
Yiye Guhong stopped and looked at her steadily, saying: "So, I must avenge this blood feud."
Hearing this, Ling Hanjing raised her eyes and met his gaze, "But with your own strength and weakness, how can you fight against such a powerful force as the Gu family with your own strength?"
"Yes! Every time this dog officer goes out, he is always surrounded by people. He is very careful and can't find an opportunity several times. I also tried to send him a battle message, but he ignored it and instead chased him everywhere.
To me."
"That's why I thought of kidnapping you on the Gu family's wedding day and using you..."
Speaking of this, Yiye Guhong couldn't help but feel ashamed, "I'm really sorry, you have suffered a lot during this period, but I will definitely send you back, you don't have to be afraid."
His clear watery eyes reflected her shadow, and there seemed to be an unbreakable fortitude hidden there, "I can see that you are not a vicious person, and you have a clear sense of right and wrong in your heart. This is good."
After hearing this, Yiye Guhong raised the corners of his lips slightly, walked up to Ling Hanjing, and asked in confusion: "I never thought that a smart woman like you would marry into the Gu family!"
Faced with Yiye Guhong's doubts, Ling Hanjing did not appear angry, but said patiently:
"You don't know, the reason why I married into the Gu family was not because of power and status, but because he saved my life, and he was also kind to me. What's more, this is a marriage granted by the emperor."
Yiye Guhong thought for a while and asked: "Before you married him, did you know who Gu Yan was?"
Ling Han smiled quietly and said seriously: "I think Gu Yan's nature is not bad! He is actually quite good to me."
After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something, and she said innocently: "Do you think this is a good idea? Send me back and I will arrange for you to meet Gu Yan. Maybe we can resolve the grievances between your previous generations."
Hearing this, Yiye Guhong seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. His slightly drooped eyes suddenly raised, and an indifferent smile flashed across the corner of his cold and determined mouth.
"Ha! I'm afraid, if you do this, I won't even be alive." After saying that, he took a few steps forward, leaving Ling Hanjing behind him.
Ling Hanjing knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she followed a few steps and stopped him: "Yiye Guhong."
Yiye Guhong turned around and saw her saying apologetically: "I'm sorry, maybe I was too naive."
For some reason, there was an inexplicable feeling of loss in his heart, as if even the tone of his words seemed to be filled with regret and sourness. "Miss Ling, you are not wary of others at all. You are a kind girl. Can Gu Yan marry you?"
It is his blessing to have you."
Facing his bright gaze, Ling Hanjing's eyelashes trembled, her face flushed slightly, "In the future, you will also marry a very good girl to be your wife." Immediately, her eyes flickered and she slightly
Hang your head.
Thinking of Gu Yan, Ling Hanjing couldn't help but feel a little melancholy and worried. It had been so long, why didn't he come to her for so long? Was he afraid? Did he really not care about her?
At this time, Gu Yan was sitting in the study, helpless, his thick black brows twisted into the character "Chuan". It had been a night, and he didn't know how Ling Hanjing was doing.
In his heart, he didn't even dare to think about whether she was bullied? Was she hurt?
Why didn't Yiye Guhong show up at the appointed time?
Or is something happened to them? Or is Yiye Guhong really playing tricks on them?
At this time, outside the study door, a boy came to deliver a message, "Master, here is a letter from you, and it was sent by a child."
Gu Changwu sat in front of the case and did not move, but drank tea calmly. When he heard that a child came to deliver a letter, Gu Yan stood up and walked to the boy, stretched out his hand and took the letter.
He unfolded it and took a look, his face gradually turned gray. What did Ye Guhong want to do?
Seeing his dejected look, Gu Fan was so angry that he snatched the letter away, glanced at it, and said indignantly:
"Dad, what is Ye Guhong's intention? He broke the promise the day before yesterday, and this time he issued a letter of challenge. Does he want us to work hard? He has a vicious heart, and this is obviously a conspiracy."
Gu Yan was afraid that his younger brother would make trouble in front of his father, so he quickly looked at Gu Changwu in front of the desk and said eagerly: "Dad, no matter what Yiye Guhong's intentions are, my son is willing to serve you. Please let your son go to the appointment!"
Gu Fan said angrily: "Humph, brother, you still want to be teased by him!"
Gu Yan was worried, "I'm afraid it's true this time. I'm afraid something will happen to Han Jing."
Gu Changwu leaned in front of the case with one hand and narrowed his tiger eyes, "Yan'er, don't be anxious! This time, I will fight for my father personally, but I will lead all my troops to lay a dragnet to make it impossible for him to escape. This time, I will
I will never let him go."
"Hmph! Even if he doesn't dare to come, let him know my authority."
Upon hearing this, Gu Fan looked solemn and analyzed: "But, he said he wanted to fight alone. If he knew about it, would he hide it and wait for the opportunity?"
Gu Changwu said disdainfully: "Huh! It depends on whether he has that ability!"
After hearing this, Gu Yan's expression suddenly changed, "If we do this, Han Jing will be in danger. If you drive a dog into a back alley, there will be a backlash!"
Gu Changwu glanced coldly, and seeing his son's unsatisfactory tone that he could not refuse, he said sternly:
"If you want to do big things, how can you be hesitant and timid? What does it mean to sacrifice a woman? Besides, if he is not eradicated, he will be a threat to us."
"If what happened back then is revealed, our Gu family will be in danger. Yan'er, don't let a woman get you carried away. Just follow your father's plan."
Gu Yan knew his father's temper and did not dare to say anything more. He could only accept it, take the overall situation into consideration, and act according to plan.
