As soon as he finished speaking, there was a scream outside, and then something heavy seemed to fall on the door, making a huge noise.
This was followed by the servant's throbbing voice, which was both respectful and frightening, "Xiao, His Highness Prince Xiao."
The people have already been killed directly in front of us!
Then, the door of the study room was kicked open, and a handsome man with red lips and white teeth, wearing a jade crown, stepped in. He has an elegant temperament. Although his clothes are simple and elegant, if you look closely, they are all embroidered with dark patterns. It can be said that he is low-key and elegant.
Don't appear dull.
He is one of the most favorable candidates for the crown prince in the current court. The eldest prince Mo Jian, with the title "Xiao", is the first among the princes to be crowned king. He is a few years younger than Gu Yuan, but Zhou Shen's arrogance is what Gu Yuan sees.
At that moment, his back was covered in cold sweat.
"Your Highness." Gu Yuan greeted him without saying a word.
The failure this time was due to his poor performance, but it did not disturb King Xiao to come to the door. Gu Yuan guessed that the corpse hanging on the city gate probably stimulated him.
That's why he rushed straight to the Gu family's study in such an angry manner, forgetting that they usually avoid contact with each other.
Mo Jian glanced at Gu Yuan coldly and stepped into the study alone. Gu Yuan immediately closed the door tightly. What Mo Jian wanted to say to him at this moment was naturally not allowed to be heard by outsiders.
After the door was closed, Mo Jian couldn't bear it any longer. He slapped the desk hard and said angrily: "What the hell is going on! Why are my people hung on the city gate!"
After Gu Yuan asked him for instructions last time, Su Zixuan finally emerged from the Su family. Naturally, Mo Jian would not let go of such a good opportunity. Moreover, Gu Yuan repeatedly promised that he would definitely deal with Su Zixuan, so he borrowed the dead soldiers he trained.
Part of it is given to Gu Yuan.
The Gu family and Prince Xiao's palace jointly assassinated him, so it should have been absolutely foolproof.
Mo Jian was even waiting for the news of Su Zixuan's death.
However, what is waiting now is that the corpses of his dead soldiers are hanging on the city wall, and Prince Xiao's Mansion is being provoked!
The man behind the scenes was so cruel that he cut the body into a pig, hung the torso on the city wall, and stuffed all the hands and feet into his Xiaowang Mansion!
This is clearly a provocation from the person behind the scenes, telling Mo Jian that he already knows who did all this!
Seeing Mo Jian's furious look, Gu Yuan was helpless. Even if he asked him, he still didn't know what was going on. He knew about the city gate even later than Mo Jian!
Mo Jian glared at Gu Yuan fiercely, "Why would people from the patrol camp get involved in this matter? If I remember correctly, it was the patrol camp that put your good son in jail last time!"
He picked up the pen holder at hand and threw it at Gu Yuan.
Mo Jian was furious this time, and Gu Yuan didn't dare to hide even if he could, so he could only let it hit him in the face.
The pain was sharp and blood flowed out instantly.
The pen holder fell at Gu Yuan's feet. He knelt down without saying a word, "Your Highness, please calm down. It's all because of my incompetence."
"What's the use of your incompetence now? If you can't kill Su Zixuan this time, he will definitely not come out again before the celebration! Next, are you going to let him take the martial arts exam and take away the martial arts champion?!"
"Without Wu Zhuangyuan, Fengyunqi has nothing to do with you or me!"
Mo Jian stared at Gu Yuan gloomily, his voice becoming harsh as if a knife had been inserted into it.
Gu Yuan knew the urgency of the matter at this time. It was not unreasonable for Mo Jian to be so angry, but because of this, he had to seize the opportunity.
You will definitely be unable to do anything during the period before the martial arts competition, but that doesn't mean you are at the end of your rope now.
"Your Highness, we are not at the end of our rope yet. We still have another chance." Gu Yuan raised his head and met Mo Jianying's cold gaze, his voice firm.
Mo Jian paused for a moment before realizing what Gu Yuan meant.
It is true that there is still a chance, but that is the last chance. If it fails, then this martial arts champion will really be handed over to others.
"The last chance, only success, no failure, do you understand, Mr. Gu?" Mo Jian glanced at Gu Yuan coolly, and after his reminder, he was no longer as angry as before.
But although the voice was calm, the threat in the words could not be ignored.
Gu Yuan naturally understood and answered very decisively, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely not let Su Zixuan become the number one scholar in martial arts."
The only person who can be the number one scholar in martial arts is Liu Weiqing.
Mo Jian lowered his eyes and glanced at Gu Yuan, then narrowed his eyes suddenly, and his voice could not even detect any hint of joy or anger, "By the way, I have chosen the candidate to be the number one scholar in the martial arts, please do your best during this time, Mr. Hou."
Just give me some pointers."
Gu Yuan's hands tightened unconsciously, a drop of cold sweat ran across his forehead, and he hurriedly said: "Since His Highness is asking for it, I will definitely try my best to give you advice."
Back then, Gu Yuan was able to win the championship in one fell swoop, and he had been a general for so many years. It was not for nothing that he had become a military lord. His martial arts skills were indeed able to stand out among the heroes in the capital. If he could get his guidance, then the chance of winning in the martial arts competition would be much higher.
A few more points.
"Just in time, let him have more contact with Gu Changan these days." Mo Jian said, "After getting along for a while, getting engaged in the future won't be unexpected."
The study was silent for a moment before Gu Yuan responded.
"yes."
His knuckles were clenched tightly.
Mo Jian stepped forward, patted Gu Yuan on the shoulder, and said softly: "Master Gu, I know you are reluctant to let go of your precious daughter, but don't worry, I will definitely not treat you Gu family badly in the future."
There was a hint of coldness in the words, and Gu Yuan could clearly hear it. He lowered his head and said, "I understand, but now Chang'an is still deeply in love with Weiqing, so I'm afraid he won't be willing to break off the engagement. Please give me some more time, Your Highness, to persuade her."
"My patience only lasts until the martial arts competition." Mo Jian rolled up his sleeves and turned around.
This is the deadline.
Mo Jian knew that Gu Yuan would not willingly hand over Gu Changan's bargaining chip, so he gave Gu Yuan a chance to struggle. If he really had a way to send Liu Weiqing to win the championship, that would be fine.
If that doesn't work, then he has to hand over the bargaining chips.
Gu Yuan also understood this truth, "Yes."
The conversation with Gu Yuan ended here. Mo Jian came in a hurry this time, so it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, so he left soon.
By chance, when Gu Changan came back, he saw Mo Jian's carriage just leaving.
She was a little confused along the way. She had also seen the corpse at the gate of the city. Such a gesture was definitely done by Yun Heng. Gu Changan knew that Yun Heng sympathized with the people of the world, but he was also absolutely merciless.
When Yun Heng taught her the art of war, the most important thing he said was that to be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself.
Yong'an Tower was being pressed by Yun Heng step by step. Now she couldn't help but think of the past. Gu Changan was taught by Yun Heng to be a good person and do things. Her mother died early, and Gu Yuan never cared about her. Only Yun Heng
Stay with her.
If she had any dissatisfaction with Yun Heng.
Gu Changan couldn't help but despise himself.
Gu Yuan sent Mo Jian away. When he saw Gu Changan coming back from outside the house, his face suddenly darkened, "What did you do outside?"
He didn't think that this incident had something to do with Gu Changan. It was just that he was depressed now, and Mo Jian was still talking about the marriage contract. When the real owner appeared, Gu Yuan's anger naturally turned towards her.
Gu Changan was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk to him at all. He ignored him and walked towards Fanghua Garden.
