Chapter 43: The Battle of the Jinan Palace (1)

"Oh by the way, Gu Wanqing said that Bai Jue has already broken off the engagement. So even the Bai family cannot threaten me. Whether it is a marriage between the Ming Dynasty, you can go begging the Bai family with a stern face, so you can do whatever you want. If you want me to die, don't blame me for not showing mercy."

She had already hidden the general flag, and even if she completely turned against her, Gu Xi was not afraid.

"I, I...I will beat you to death!"

Gu Dongqi raised his hand and threw it towards Gu Xi's face.

Gu Xi was roaring with her ears by the slap, but she wiped the corner of her mouth and continued to straighten her body calmly.

Gu Dongqi was not satisfied and found the whip and planned to continue whipping.

Suddenly, a bunch of people came in from the Gu family. Li Che walked over from them. The people following him were all full-muscular servants holding sticks.

"My father-in-law shows mercy!"

Li Che interrupted Gu Dongqi loudly.

Gu Xi's eyes lit up, and she shouted Brother Che and ran towards him.

Gu Dongqi looked at another face that made him very disgusted, and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "This is the Gu family, not your Li family! Go out for me!"

Before the whip was pulled out, the servant behind Li Che had already pulled the whip over.

The servants of the two families were in opposition, but obviously the Gu family's posture was not as strong as this side.

"I am the one who leads the army. Do you want to die?" Gu Dongqi raised the bloody knife and threatened.

Gu Qing and Mrs. Gu were already hugging each other and whispered to remind Gu Dongqi that he would not be able to see blood in the mansion.

Although Li Che seemed to be a weak scholar, he disagreed with this threat. "Don't joke, father-in-law. Those who were lying around at the door were all soldiers from the palace. You can't protect the mansion for your father-in-law, otherwise your father-in-law would be treason. He was exiled because of abuse of military power. Have you forgotten?"

"This is still the Gu family, and you can't be too presumptuous!"

"Yes, it's right for the Gu family now, but Xier is also a member of the Gu family. My father-in-law can't favor one or the other."

Gu Dongqi did not originally object to Li Che and Gu Xi's relationship, after all, the Li family was once a wealthy family.

But after the old lady of the Li family died five years ago, she distributed a lot of property and went out. Mr. Li made a fortune and lost all the bets.

Since then, Gu Dongqi has never allowed Gu Xi and Li Che to interact.

Li Che was tactful and never ran to the Gu family openly.

Gu Dongqi sarcastically said, "Your Li family is just an empty shell and can't even bring out a decent betrothal gift. Do you dare to call me father-in-law? Get out of here!"

Li Che hugged Gu Xi in his arms and deliberately ambiguous, "Xi'er and I are in love, how can we measure it with money? Besides, who belongs to this general's mansion in the future."

Gu Xi looked up at him and admired him.

Li Che has been cowardly for so long, and he finally got tough today!

Unfortunately, what her father didn't know was that the Li family's property was far more than that. She must have obtained it quietly so that she would not give this father a chance to succeed.

"You...you guy!"

Gu Dongqi was extremely angry and really waved the knife in his hand and slashed it, which made the people around him frightened.

However, the servants brought by Li Che were not vegetarians, so they picked the stick and threw it aside.

Li Che was also prepared and expected that Gu Dongqi's move would be no less and more serious.

"Hahaha, my father-in-law, Gu Xi has been staying in the Li Mansion these days. You should live in the Gu Mansion. After General Wan Qing's affairs, you will not be able to live in this house for a few days."

Li Che hugged Gu Xi and swayed, and walked out of the Gu Mansion arrogantly.

Originally, the Gu family was still very happy about the Longcheng incident, but now they were all sitting in the lobby like eggplants made from frost.

Gu Qing shook Gu Dongqi's arm and stomped his feet anxiously, "Dad! What should we do! Gu Yuan still has injuries on his body, so we can't be kicked out of the mansion."

"I will enter the palace before Gu Xi and tell the emperor that that girl Gu Xi must not succeed! This house belongs to mine, so she can't even think about it!"

...

The next day, Jin'an Palace.

Red carpets were spread on both sides of the hall, and the ministers stood solemnly with His Royal Highness the Prince.

After the heavy rain that was contained, there was a clear sky, and two rainbows appeared in the sky.

Today is destined to be unusual.

Gu Dongqi was wearing an official robe, presented military talismans with both hands, and detailed description of the battle situation.

He knelt down and said sadly and compassionately: "Your Majesty! I deserve to die. I failed to save General Wanqing who went to the battlefield, so that she could sink into the sea of ​​fire. However, I have fought to the death and drove the Yan people out of the city!"

The emperor had his beaded crown hanging down his face, his golden dragon robe was wide and flat, and he sat at the highest point of Jin'an Hall.

After the eunuch handed over, the emperor looked through the detailed report submitted by Gu Dongqi, and Zhu Mian's uncle was indistinguishable. "General Wan Qing won the battle again and again. Although she was not good at the chief commander, she rarely suffered casualties. Is the Yan people so powerful this time?"

"It was the Yan people who were cunning. But I had already set up a trap, but I didn't expect that General Wanqing actually appeared in a flash, disrupting my plan at that time, which led to the sudden loss of Longcheng."

Gu Dongqi had already thought of a word, but Gu Wanqing gave people the usual impression that he would not be able to succeed or lose things.
