Invincible son

Chapter 559 558

Kyoto, Guangping Hou Mansion.

In the Xinuang Pavilion of Zhao's courtyard, Gu Zhen sat beside her mother, and softly comforted her: "Mother, since Brother Pei specially sent someone to come over, Fourth Brother will be fine, don't worry too much."

"How can you not worry?"

Mrs. Zhao sighed, and said disappointedly: "Your father and three elder brothers are in the army. There are always many risks on the battlefield. No one knows what kind of accidents will happen. I thought your fourth brother was a peace of mind. Even if your father feels disappointed occasionally, our family doesn't need him to gain fame immediately, as long as he is safe and sound, he is better than anything else, I didn't expect that now... Sigh."

Gu Zhen thought for a while and tried to persuade: "Mother, although fourth brother has a carefree temperament, he has always been reliable in major matters. My daughter doesn't know what he wants to do, but since brother Pei agrees, even if you don't trust fourth brother, You should always trust Brother Pei."

Zhao couldn't help laughing and said: "You child, you know how to speak for your husband before you get married."

"Mother—" Gu Zhen grabbed her hand and said coquettishly with a drawn out tone.

Mrs. Zhao patted the back of her hand, and said gently: "My mother and son talk comfortably, don't be so nervous. Zhen'er, it's not that mother doesn't believe your fourth brother. He made a fuss about marrying that woman, but mother didn't agree at first. Agreed, but there was really nothing I could do about him later, so I had to let go temporarily. If I had known today, even if my mother was hated by him, I would have to let that woman leave the capital."

Gu Zhen was slightly startled, of course she knew what kind of danger was hidden in these seemingly calm words, so she quickly shook her head and said, "Mother, you can't do this, I'm afraid there will be big troubles with Fourth Brother's temper."

Mrs. Zhao sighed: "Even if mother wants to do this, it's too late. Forget it, with Brother Yue watching, nothing will happen. Mother only hopes that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise I will wait for you When dad comes back, he will have to make a fuss again."

Gu Zhen also had a headache when she heard the words, even without this accident, it is basically impossible for Nanqin to marry into the Guangping Marquis's residence, and her father would definitely not agree.Now that she has been robbed by thieves, this matter has caused a stir in the capital, and even the palace has known about it, which means completely cutting off the possibility of her marrying Gu Fan.

While worrying about this matter, Mrs. Zhao was also worried about Gu Fan's safety.The day before yesterday, the palace sent an internal supervisor to pass the decree. Emperor Kaiping was furious about this matter, and he reassured the whole Hou Mansion that Taishitai Pavilion would definitely catch the culprit as soon as possible.However, Mrs. Zhao is not an ordinary woman without knowledge. Gu Zhen can't be fooled by the pirate's talk, but she can't be fooled by it. She has seen many conspiracies and tricks with Gu Liang these years, and she was aware of it almost the moment she learned about it. It has an unusual meaning.

A few days ago, Gu Liang sent someone to send a letter, saying that he set off from the southern border in early February, and he will return to Beijing soon after calculation. It would be great if he could arrive a few days earlier.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao said to Gu Zhen: "Zhen'er, go to Zhongshan Marquis Mansion and see if you can help Brother Yue."

Gu Zhen shook her head and said: "Mother, brother Pei is going out of the city to redeem someone today, how could Brother Pei stay in the city? In fact, my daughter doesn't know where he is."

Zhao Shi nodded, and couldn't help but fell into worry.

……

Xicheng, Qingyangfang, in an ordinary-looking residential house.

In the clean and tidy main room, four men in their 40s and [-]s were discussing in secret. If Geng Yi was here, he would be able to recognize the middle-aged man sitting on the north side at a glance. He was the one who set Geng Yi up. Lu Fang, a merchant from Qinzhou.

This person's real name is Fang Qi, and he is a descendant of the Fang family in Pingjiang in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Sitting across from him is his younger brother Fang Zhen.

"Brother, I think the news that person sent is mostly false. I'm afraid the 1 taels of silver are in vain." Fang Zhen has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks younger than her actual age.

Fang Qi frowned and said, "My lord will judge the truth by himself. What we have to do is to send the news. You don't need to worry about other things."

Fang Zhen clicked her tongue and said, "That's 1 taels of silver, enough to buy a five-family mansion in our capital."

The man from Dongshou said with a smile: "Second son, the young master won't feel sorry for you. It's really ridiculous that you want to act like a girl."

Fang Zhen didn't care, and laughed and scolded: "You know what, big brother is too loyal, he is all about serving the king, and never considers his own safety. Of course, the son will not say anything right now, but when we go back, If one day he thinks about it, the eldest brother will probably die."

Fang Qi said in a deep voice, "Okay, just stop talking."

Fang Zhen curled her lips, but out of respect for her elder brother, she did not continue this topic after all.

The man at Dongshou looked at Fang Qi and asked, "Brother Fang, what should we do next?"

Fang Qi looked up at the sky outside the door, and said slowly: "The people over there are all gone outside the city right now, and they will definitely not be able to come back tonight. After nightfall, we will go to Dongcheng and kill the Guangping Hou Mansion completely. , set a fire and escape overnight."

The man sitting on the west head was in his early 30s, and looked ordinary, but at the moment there was a violent look in his eyes, and he said ferociously: "I heard that the daughter of Marquis Guangping is a beautiful woman."

Fang Zhen squinted at him and said, "That's not your turn. It is said that the little girl is Pei Yue's sweetheart, so I have to give it a try."

The man smiled strangely: "It's okay, you go first."

Fang Qi frowned, but didn't say anything to reprimand him.

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in everyone's ears: "Oh, it's hard for you to even think about dying now."

The four of them were terrified, and immediately picked up the weapons at hand, then got up and leaned against each other.

A middle-aged man with a gentle face appeared three feet outside the door.

Fang Qi said coldly: "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man said indifferently: "Taishi Taige, Jingchu."

"Shoulder to shoulder!" Fang Qi shouted, and jumped out first, slashing at the opponent's head with a long knife in his hand.The other three moved quickly and cooperated with him very tacitly. Immediately, the four knives slashed at Jing Chu from different directions.

The middle-aged man was calm, pointing his toes to the ground, and his body floated backwards like a floating cloud.

At the same time, seven or eight figures flew from the side, holding Taige's special iron rods in their hands, piercing the blade light with ease.In less than half a stick of incense, all four of them were knocked down to the ground, and then tied up.

Jing Chu ordered his subordinates to set up the four of them, turned to look at the two young men in the distance, and asked one of them, "Is that him?"

Geng Yi and Deng Zai stepped forward, he stared at Fang Qi who had just met this morning, nodded solemnly and said, "It's him."

Fang Qi's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and the image of a wealthy businessman who was graceful and luxurious in the past was gone forever. He stared at Geng Yi viciously and said, "Don't forget, it was you who told me Pei Yue's secret back then!"

Geng Yi lowered his head slightly, his expression gloomy.
