The Gu family has a history of thousands of years, and there are countless strange and strange things.
The secret about Gu Yuncong's death is considered a taboo topic in the clan.
Except for a few people from the older generation, no one dared to discuss this matter.
Even those old antiques could only whisper a few words in private and did not dare to go deeper.
How could a young man like Gu Liuyun know such a secret?
"My father was drunk last time and missed a few words. As for the specific situation, I have no way of knowing."
Gu Liuyun shook his head and sighed.
In fact, Qin Mo didn't hold out much hope, so it was no surprise to get this answer.
"According to my inference, the curse on you is probably related to Gu Yuncong. If you want to explore further, you must enter the ancestral temple."
Qin Mo began to test the opponent's bottom line.
It would be great if Gu Liuyun agreed to enter the ancestral temple.
"Enter the ancestral temple? I'm afraid this is impossible. Unless there is a clan order from my father, no one can enter."
Gu Liuyun smiled bitterly.
Qin Mo was not disappointed. He just nodded and said, "It's a very important matter. If possible, you and your son can communicate. Maybe he will make an exception."
As the eldest son, people had high hopes for Gu Liuyun since he was born.
If there was no curse, the Gu family would be even more prosperous.
For Gu Qingyuan, it can also add a little more confidence.
Although he was the Taiwei and the head of the military attachés of the dynasty, there were still several people whose status was not below him.
For example, Han Changjun and several big guys from Long Island.
As for the Yanjing Wu family, they even ignored him.
The reason is very simple. The glory of the Gu family in this life is likely to be ruined by Gu Qingyuan's generation.
Gu Qingyuan had many heirs, all of whom were talented in literature and military skills, but none of them could be considered true geniuses and could not achieve great success.
Once Gu Qingyuan dies, who will be able to support the Gu family?
It took a lot of effort to create Gu Liuyun, but he died early before he had time to bloom.
The Gu family has no offspring, which is Gu Qingyuan's biggest pain point.
Although many people in the court are afraid of him, in a few years, when Gu Qingyuan is old and weak, those people will intensify their revenge on the Gu family.
Behind the splendor of the Taiwei Mansion, there is a suffocating crisis.
But if Gu Liuyun's curse can be broken, all hidden dangers and worries will be solved.
For the future of the Gu family, Gu Qingyuan would risk his life, let alone enter the Gu family's ancestral temple?
Therefore, Qin Mo is not worried about this matter, he just needs to wait patiently.
When the Gu family's ancestral temple reopens, it will be the time for him to return to the Taiwei Mansion.
This was the agreement Qin Mo and Gu Liuyun made before leaving.
…
When Qin Mo returned to Zhulu Pavilion, the people in the palace had been waiting for a long time.
The person responsible for receiving Qin Mo was a young prince, similar in age to Qin Mo, with extraordinary appearance and elegant temperament.
However, there are only eight guards around him, and they are all in the early stage of Tongxuan, so they have no deterrent effect.
These guards put together are not as intimidating as them carrying the royal flag.
Not to mention comparing with other princes, even compared with a playboy like Gu Hanxing, this battle is very down to earth.
It can be seen that the prince who greeted Qin Mo was not highly regarded.
"I am the Fourteenth Prince, and I have been ordered to welcome you to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit."
The young man cupped his fists and saluted, looking extremely respectful.
He grew up in the palace and was not popular since he was a child. If he wants to survive well, he must learn to restrain his sharpness and keep a low profile.
Facing the high disciple of Fulong Sect in front of him, he naturally did not dare to be disrespectful at all.
In fact, he asked for this job.
From the perspective of other princes, how could someone of the emperor's blood descend to meet a mountain monk?
What about the disciples of Fulong Sect?
Qin Mo is just a person in the Tongxuan realm and not a big shot. Is he still worthy of their presence?
There are many talented people around those princes, and they don't even bother to do this kind of thing.
But the fate of the fourteenth prince was not so good. His mother's clan had long since perished. He was helpless in the high walls and deep palace. He could only fight for all opportunities by himself.
In his opinion, Qin Mo is his connection.
Therefore, he begged to do things that other princes did not bother to do.
Because of this incident, he was ridiculed a lot.
However, the Fourteenth Prince didn't care, he had long been used to it.
certainly.
Qin Mo didn't know the inside story, but he just felt that the young prince in front of him was extremely respectful and polite, which left a good impression on him.
On the way to the palace, the fourteenth prince told Qin Mo all the taboos in the palace, which was very considerate.
Qin Mo was not very interested in the rules and regulations in the palace.
The only thing he was interested in was naturally the Wu family in Yanjing.
"There are inexplicably more children of the Wu family on the battle merit list. What do you think of this?"
Qin Mo suddenly asked.
The fourteenth prince kept walking, his expression remained unchanged, and he just said cautiously: "Father, please let us not talk about the Wu family."
"How many people are here from the Wu family?"
Qin Mo continued to ask.
"There are more than ten people."
The Fourteenth Prince said again.
"How many days have they been here? Have they been in the palace the whole time?"
"They only arrived at the palace yesterday, so I don't know anything else."
When it comes to Wu family matters, the Fourteenth Prince appears to be very cautious, for fear of saying something wrong.
Seeing that the Fourteenth Prince was sitting on pins and needles, Qin Mo didn't find it difficult to help him.
However, it is not difficult to infer from the reaction of the fourteenth prince that after the Wu family entered the palace, the atmosphere became much tense.
The pressure that the Wu family has brought to the royal family is already visible to the naked eye.
"According to the procedure, I have to take you to the Royal Academy to wait for you. When the morning court begins, we will all go to the palace together to meet the saint."
Under the leadership of the Fourteenth Prince, Qin Mo passed through the palace gates and arrived at the Royal Academy.
The Royal Academy is extremely large, no less than a small sect.
The main hall of the Academy is even more grand and solemn.
In the Academy Square, there stands a huge stone statue, which is an image of a heroic man holding a war spear.
"Who is this stone statue?"
Qin Mo stopped and glanced at the Fourteenth Prince in confusion.
"The patron saint of the empire, the strongest man on Dragon Island, senior Cangyu."
The fourteenth prince looked up at the stone statue, his eyes full of respect.
"The strongest person on Dragon Island?"
Qin Mo's expression changed.
"Meng Feixue is known as the 'King of Spears' and was taught by Senior Cang Yu."
The Fourteenth Prince added another sentence.
"Meng Feixue's master? He is indeed quite capable."
Qin Mo was secretly surprised.
To be Meng Feixue's master, one must be at least in the late stage of killing one's life, or even a master in the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
More importantly, the most powerful man on Dragon Island has been protecting the royal family for hundreds of years and has won the support of the royal family's children.
Every member of the royal family will be in awe when they see this stone statue.
"Haha, our ancestors said that Cangyu is just a defeated general under him and has no real ability. It's a shame that your royal family still treats him like a father."
At this moment, a playful sneer came over.
"who?"
The fourteenth prince frowned instantly.
But when he turned around and saw several figures strolling towards him, he immediately lowered his head and lost his temper.
"The number one master on Dragon Island will be replaced by my Wu family sooner or later."
The young man in purple clothes at the head glanced at the stone statue with disdain.
