The Wu family of Yanjing was the king of the country, controlling half of the southern region, and even the royal family did not look down upon it.
In this battle for the merit list, the Wu family forced a dozen of their disciples into the competition, and their arrogance was staggering.
"This list is a battlefield for fighting. There is no room for the Wu family to cover the sky with just one hand."
Gu Liuyun's expression was solemn, and his pale finger crossed the list of Wu family disciples one by one.
Killing the Wu family's arrogance is what he wants to do.
The Gu family is enveloped by the emperor's favor, so they naturally have to solve problems for the royal family.
"So, the Gu family is not competing for military glory, but is trying to check and balance the Wu family?"
Qin Mo understood what the other party meant.
The status of the Taiwei Mansion is already invincible under the royal family.
Why do they need to compete for military glory?
Even if we fight for it, we can't go any further.
If you go one step further, the nine clans will be implicated and will be doomed.
Gu Qingyuan is not that stupid yet.
Being on the battle merit list is purely to check the Wu family and kill the Wu family's spirit for the royal family.
"But even so, there's no need for you to come forward in person, right?"
Qin Mo looked at the other party in confusion.
Gu Qingyuan had many descendants, many of whom were outstanding in their literary and military skills.
If it was just to check and balance the Wu family, sending these people to come forward would be enough.
On the contrary, Gu Liuyun was cursed, like a candle in the wind or a flat boat on the sea, he could be destroyed at any time.
When the time comes to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, there will inevitably be a fight.
How could Gu Liuyun's body withstand such pressure?
"Have you ever heard about the prince's southern tour?"
Gu Liuyun did not answer the question.
Qin Mo nodded and said: "The prince went south to Yanjing and suffered great humiliation from the Wu family. This incident spread to the royal family and caused a storm in the city."
"I also heard that some people in the royal family were not convinced and secretly sent many experts to teach the Wu family a lesson. However, they were all killed by the ancestors of the Wu family and their bodies were violently buried in the city."
Hearing this place, Gu Liuyun's pale face took on a hint of death.
There was a rare hint of ferocity in his clear eyes.
"Among those masters, there are thirteen members of my Gu family."
Gu Liuyun spoke indifferently.
Then, his whole body began to tremble, and he said in great pain: "Including my mother."
understood!
This time, Qin Mo understood everything.
Gu Liuyun is so persistent, not only for the overall situation, but also for personal revenge.
In that battle a few years ago, all the masters of the Gu family showed up.
Gu Liuyun's biological mother was a powerful person in the life-threatening realm.
Unexpectedly, they were shot dead by the ancestor of the Wu family before they even stepped through the gate of the Wu family.
The next day, the bad news came back to the royal city, and everyone in the Taiwei's mansion burst into mourning.
Gu Liuyun dragged his sick body and rushed to Yanjing all night just to see his mother for the last time.
But when he arrived at Yanjing, what he saw were tragic corpses on top of the city.
The blood stained the city wall red, which was shocking.
That scene haunted Gu Liuyun like a nightmare, keeping him awake at night.
What is even more tragic is that to this day, those corpses are still in a foreign land, and even returning to their roots after fallen leaves is a luxury.
Gu Liuyun's hatred for the Wu family can be said to be as deep as the sea.
This makes it easy to understand why he came forward in person to fight with the Wu family disciple.
"Doesn't your Majesty have an imperial edict to ask the Wu family to return the body?"
Qin Mo asked subconsciously.
"Will the Wu family accept such an imperial edict?"
Gu Liuyun shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"The Wu family dares to refuse even the imperial edict? Are they so arrogant? Can the royal family really endure it?"
Qin Mo couldn't understand.
"You are from the Immortal Sect, so you probably don't know much about the structure of the secular world. The relationship between the Wu family and the royal family is extremely mysterious, and it is not easy to cut it off."
Gu Liuyun sighed, this was also his helplessness.
The stability and prosperity of Yu's kingdom were inseparable from two major forces.
One is Han Changjun's Northern Border Army.
The second one is the Wu family in Yanjing.
Han Changjun guarded the northern border and blocked the enemy from the ice sheet.
The Wu family in Yanjing also had the effect of intimidating the southern countries.
To the south of Yanjing is the Wanli Southern Frontier, where they are all barbarians who drink hair and blood.
Without the Wu family, the Kingdom of Yu would not be so stable.
Therefore, the royal family and the Wu family are closely linked to each other, like grasshoppers on a rope.
On the one hand, the royal family is afraid of the Wu family, but on the other hand, it relies on the Wu family to frighten the Southern Region. This is the contradiction.
The Wu family is like a thorn in the heart of the royal family. If it is forcibly removed, it will definitely break the muscles and bones.
But if you don't pull it out, it will get stuck deeper and deeper.
Of course, although the Wu family is arrogant, they do not dare to truly become enemies of the royal family.
It is impossible for the Wu family to suppress the countries in southern Xinjiang with their own strength.
If the Wu family completely breaks away from the Kingdom of Yu, they will immediately fall into a situation of being attacked from both sides. Not only will they have to bear the wrath of the royal family, but they will also be attacked by the countries in the southern Xinjiang.
Therefore, the Wu family only dares to be tyrannical in Yanjing. If they get to the royal city, they have to behave accordingly.
"The royal family and the Wu family are mutual checks and balances. The royal family cultivated our Taiwei Mansion just to suppress the Wu family and break the balance."
Gu Liuyun said unhurriedly.
At this point, Qin Mo finally understood.
After all, he is only a teenager and has grown up in a small place like Cangyuan City. How could he know this?
After entering Fulong Sect, he devoted himself to cultivation and had no time to worry about worldly battles.
It was only at this moment that Qin Mo truly understood the situation of Dayu Kingdom.
"There is the threat of the Blood Cloud Sect in the north, and there are barbarian countries in the south. It turns out that the peaceful and prosperous age we saw has always been silently guarded by people."
Qin Mo couldn't help but sigh.
Although the Wu family is hateful, it is not without merit. Without the Wu family to shock southern Xinjiang, how could Dayu's country be so stable?
These worldly struggles involve the fate of the country.
The rise and fall of national destiny will also affect the change of Qi in the cultivation world.
However, if the sect gets too involved, it will trigger a sect war and further intensify the conflict.
It's like a domino, one move affects the whole body.
"Now I finally understand why those cultivating sects are still involved in worldly struggles."
Qin Mo murmured to himself.
No matter in the secular world or in the immortal sect, who can be immune to the struggle of fate if they are involved in it?
It does not mean that after entering the Immortal Sect, you can ignore worldly affairs and focus on seeking the Tao.
Wherever there are people, there will be fights.
And the fight is never-ending.
"I invited you here just to deal with the Wu family. I know your record in Tianqian City. Only you can suppress the Wu family's children."
Gu Liuyun finally told his purpose of coming.
He claimed that Qin Mo was his distinguished guest, and it turned out to be because of this incident.
However, even without him, Qin Mo would still suppress the Wu family's arrogance. After all, this is the sect's mission.
"Maybe it's not my turn yet. That senior brother of mine is more hateful and hateful than me. Those children of the Wu family will probably die miserably if they encounter him."
Qin Mo shook his head and chuckled.
With Yu Tianzheng around, he most likely wouldn't have a chance to take action.
"Although Yu Tianzheng is very powerful, he cannot represent the Taiwei Mansion. I want Brother Qin to represent the Taiwei Mansion. Only in this way can we truly defeat the Wu family."
Gu Liuyun spoke frankly.
Yu Tianzheng represents the Fulong Sect. Even if he suppresses the Wu family's children, it will not hurt the Wu family's dignity.
But the Taiwei Mansion is different.
All fools know that the Taiwei Mansion is appointed by the emperor and represents the royal family.
To defeat the Wu family as a Taiwei Mansion is to make the Wu family bow their heads before the emperor.
