Gu Hui smiled bitterly, "Xue De was not the one who killed your second uncle back then, he just refused to save him."

"Back then, your second uncle was a member of the Gu family and was the number one genius in the entire Feng Kingdom. He was very successful at a young age and was in the limelight. He reached the peak of the Middle Spirit Realm at a young age."

"That is a state that many people cannot reach in their entire lives."

"At that time, many people came to him to challenge him. Once, he competed with others and defeated them. But that person was too arrogant, how could he be willing to lose at the hands of a young man."

"Therefore, I called in the masters from the family to surround and kill your second uncle."

When he said this, Gu Hui's fists clenched involuntarily, and his eyes were full of deep hatred.

"No matter how talented your second uncle is, he is just a talented young man. How can he survive the siege of many masters?"

"But he still managed to escape! When he crawled home covered in blood, I went to the palace to beg the royal doctors to save him."

"But they were all stopped by that old guy Xue De. Even if I knelt down and begged them, no one was willing to come to my rescue!"

Initially, he did not want Gu Zhengchu to fake his death, so he kept begging the doctors in the palace to save his child.

Finally, the method of suspended animation was proposed by Gu Zhengchu himself.

Because no one is willing to save him, if those powerful people still know that he is alive, they will definitely continue to hunt him down, even the Gu family.

The Gu family is indeed very powerful in the secular world and has a lot of troops. Gu Hui is also a master, but compared with those powerful people, they are nothing worth mentioning!

"Xue De has a grudge against the Gu family?"

This is what Gu Qingge wants to ask the most.

Gu Hui nodded: "Xue De is related to Prime Minister Yuan's Mansion. He is the granddaughter of that thief Yuan Zhuoqiu and the master of Yuan Xiangying."

After hearing this, Gu Qingge became somewhat clear. In fact, he was the original owner of this body. He only thought about the prince every day and didn't care about other things at all.

"Where is the emperor?" Gu Qingge asked doubtfully: "Grandpa, you are a general of the Feng Kingdom. You have fought for the country all your life. My parents even sacrificed their lives for the country."

"Could it be that when something like this happened, the emperor didn't express anything?"

Gu Hui's eyes suddenly darkened and he didn't say a word.

Seeing Gu Hui like this, Gu Qingge guessed it. She couldn't help but sneered, "Why does the Gu family still fight for such an emperor?"

Gu Hui smiled bitterly, but also smiled tolerantly: "Ge'er, you are wrong."

"My Gu family is not fighting for the person on the throne. The Gu family is fighting for the thousands of people in Feng Kingdom."

"People?" Gu Qingge's expression was a little cold, "For the sake of the people, grandpa, you can give up avenging my parents and let the murderer go unpunished, even domineering under your nose?"

The girl's eyebrows were full of fierceness and arrogance, and Gu Hui's eyes widened in fright, as if he was getting to know his granddaughter all over again.

"Of course I know the righteousness of the Gu family, but if anyone dares to touch my relatives, even if I abandon this righteousness and bear the infamy of the world, I will avenge my relatives!"

Gu Hui fell silent. He knew that Gu Qingge was right. He had paid a lot for Feng Guo, but when he needed help the most, no one stood up to speak for him.

"Grandpa, you are a hard-working and meritorious minister. Your son and daughter-in-law both died in battle. But when your younger son needs the royal family's help the most, he obviously only needs an imperial edict to save his second uncle."

"But he didn't! Such an emperor is not worthy of the Gu family's loyalty!"

"You're right." Gu Hui couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I've been working hard on the border all these years, and he didn't even take care of you."

"I have lost your father and your mother, and I can no longer protect you. If your second uncle can recover, maybe you can still live well under the protection of your second uncle when I am gone in the future."

Gu Hui simply didn't dare to think that if he ran out of fuel or died on the battlefield like Ge'er's parents, how would this girl survive in this world?

"Grandpa, what did you just say? What about recovery?"

For a moment, Gu Qingge felt that her ears were broken?

She asked again, "You mean my second uncle? Is he still alive?"

"Ge'er, you were too young at the time. There are some things that I didn't let you know about, but it would do no harm to you or your second uncle."

Gu Hui sighed, "Actually, your second uncle didn't die back then. He has always been alive."

"After your second uncle was seriously injured and returned to the Gu family, those powerful people have been keeping a close eye on the Gu family. It was not until a few years ago that they evacuated everyone."

"Even if this is the case, I don't dare to let your second uncle appear in the eyes of the world. If someone from that force finds out, they will definitely come to kill your second uncle again, and even implicate the Gu family."

What happened back then has always been a pain in the hearts of the entire Gu family, and it is a pain that will never diminish in his heart!

If it hadn't been for Gu Zhengchu's accident, the Gu family wouldn't have fallen to the point where even their own granddaughter would be bullied!

Even though he holds a lot of troops now, those soldiers and those powers were all given by the emperor.

If the emperor did not need to rely on him to guard the border, the withdrawal of this authority and the army would be nothing more than a matter of imperial edict.

"Grandpa, you said that the second uncle is still alive, is it true?" Gu Qingge thought of something, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a light flashed.

If the original Gu Qingge was still alive, he would definitely be very happy to hear that his second uncle was always here.

"Your second uncle is indeed not dead, but he was injured too much and his body has become disabled. Now his Dantian has been destroyed, he can't walk, and he can no longer practice."

"Grandpa, I want to see my second uncle!"

Gu Qingge raised his face, his eyes full of determination.

Now that she has taken over Gu Qingge's body and enjoyed the care of her relatives, she must protect this hard-won family.

Moreover, she has the Qingxuan Medical Code in hand, so she is sure to cure any difficult or complicated disease.

Before that, she had to take a look at Gu Zhengchu's condition before she could prescribe the right medicine!

——

The two of them walked down the tunnel. In the dark tunnel, a cold and damp air hit their faces.

"Over the years, in order to avoid the search by that force, your second uncle has been living here, and his confidants will come to deliver meals every day."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them walked to the end of the passage.
