The news of Gu Zhiyuan's return to the city was sent by Gu Zhiyuan to Luo Ao two days ago.
In the letter, Gu Zhiyuan truthfully reported to Luo Ao what happened in his business, and also truthfully told the casualties at Baiyun Villa, and reviewed his rashness. In fact, he did not need to review, as his Golden Summit business, although it was not completed,
The original idea was to almost completely destroy the Golden Dome Palace with only three hundred people. This achievement was by no means small. But he still had to review it. Gu Zhiyuan was a smart man, so he was naturally cautious with this principle.
It was clear, so he wrote all his mistakes, big and small, in the letter, and sincerely hoped that Luo Ao would punish him.
But who is willing to punish a subordinate who is both capable and not greedy for credit?
When Luo Ao saw what Gu Zhiyuan said, his heart was filled with joy. With the destruction of the Golden Summit Palace, the Northern Qi Dynasty would be in a situation of being attacked from both sides. The Baiyun Mountain Villa would have one less thing to worry about when attacking the Later Han Dynasty. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think: This is a big deal.
Well, it seems that the title of Baiyun King is within reach.
Taking advantage of his happiness, he immediately sent a letter to Gu Zhiyuan, appointing him as the commander of the Silver Sword Guards and controlling the Silver Sword Guards. He also held a banquet three miles outside the village to welcome Gu Zhiyuan. This was the first time in the history of Baiyun Villa that a different surname controlled the Silver Sword Guards.
, which shows Gu Zhiyuan’s honor.
Gu Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he received the flying letter from Luo Ao, and immediately decided to lead the brothers to indulge. Of course, this indulgence was also part of Gu Zhiyuan's plan. He had received such a great honor, and he no longer seemed ecstatic.
Luo Ao inevitably felt that he had any greater ambitions, so this night's indulgence was not only to reward his brothers, but also to reassure his owner, who did not want to be suspected by Luo Ao in the future.
You must know that the human heart is such a thing. Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, any gossip in the future will become fertilizer that encourages the suspicion to grow wildly.
Yuelai Restaurant.
Gu Zhiyuan booked an entire restaurant and invited all the girls from Fengxiang House to accompany him.
He held a girl in one hand, held up a wine glass with the other, and said proudly to everyone: "Thanks to all the brothers for risking their lives for your support this time, fortunately we have completed the task of being the owner of the village. Let's have a drink!"
"Thank you, Commander!" All the Silver Sword Guards shouted in unison.
After finishing one glass of wine, Gu Zhiyuan filled another glass and said: "This time everyone will be rewarded when they return to the village. Everyone has a share. We must also remember those brothers who died. We must take care of their families, young and old.
Without them, there would be no us, brothers, wouldn’t you!”
"Yes, Commander!" Everyone shouted again.
Only this time, they shouted louder and louder, because what Gu Zhiyuan said spoke to their hearts. They were all men struggling to make ends meet, and they might one day be exposed in the wilderness, leaving behind those
It would be a great kindness if someone could take care of the whole family.
After finishing the second glass of wine, Gu Zhiyuan filled up another glass and said: "This third glass of wine, we have to respect the owner of the village. If it weren't for the owner's foresight, our business would not be successful."
"Yes, respect the owner of the village!" Everyone shouted again.
But as soon as everyone finished speaking and before the wine glasses in their hands were brought to their lips, a crazy beggar suddenly broke into the restaurant and muttered something: "Gu Zhiyuan is so majestic. He became a general, sleeping with a bitch, and he has three hundred silver sword guards.
They are all racing ducks with silver swords. They kill Taoist priests and destroy relatives. They are ruthless and unrighteous. You are a real boy. Little Guzi, don't be so arrogant. You offended the master. You are too long to live. If you are drunk today, you will sleep in the grave tomorrow."
Gu Zhiyuan and all the Silver Sword Guards were itching to hear this. The one with a strong temper already raised his sword and strode up to the old beggar, swung his sword and pointed it directly at the beggar's throat.
But as soon as he swung the sword, the old beggar fell to the ground and died. A stream of black blood spilled from his mouth, obviously he died of poisoning.
The Silver Sword Guard wielding the sword was startled, staggered, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Seeing the situation, he hurriedly walked forward. He wrapped his hands with a woolen cloth and probed the old beggar's mouth and nose. He found that he was no longer breathing. He turned over the beggar's body and found that the old beggar's body was no longer breathing.
I found a piece of paper on my back, which clearly said: Your death date will be at midnight in three days.
