Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 987 Loyal

Seeing the man's face clearly, Gu Ruizhou was surprised:

"Young Master Cheng? How could it be you?"

Cheng Qi smiled slightly, apologized, invited Gu Ruizhou to sit down, and poured tea for him himself.

Gu Ruizhou stared at Cheng Qi closely. He thought about countless possibilities, but he didn't want to meet Cheng Qi.

The next head of this declining old family made a deep impression on him when they first met. He was still a few years younger than himself, but he already had the aura of an elk wandering to the left without blinking an eye.

After reading the confession I sent, I didn't appear offended, nor did I listen to any biased beliefs, nor was I timid in the slightest.

Immediately send someone to find the person involved to verify the matter, and say that if the matter is true, he will not tolerate it. If he is framed, he will seek an explanation for his family.

After verification, Advance and Retreat Youdu dealt with the erring cousin neatly, frankly thanked and apologized to Gu Ruizhou, and accepted Gu Ruizhou's kindness without any grudge.

"I don't want to invite the general to meet like this, but I don't want to bring unnecessary suspicion to you and my family. Please don't blame me, general."

Gu Ruizhou smiled:
"Young Master Cheng, Fei Zhouzhang, met me because he had important matters to discuss. He acted out of good intentions and thoughtful consideration, so why should I blame him?"

"The general is indeed a cheerful and generous man. I have important business to see you. Have Ming Yue and her daughter died suddenly?"

Gu Ruizhou's smile faltered, and his guard and vigilance quickly grew:
It took less than two hours for the mother and daughter to die suddenly in the military camp, plus the time it took to find someone to send a message to them... It was just after the death that Cheng Qi received the news, which was incredibly fast. Is this the heritage of an established family? It turns out that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

"Young Master Cheng is really a master of the sky. He was able to find out the news about the Dingbei Army camp so quickly. From this point of view, it seems that the Cheng family is not retreating from the world as rumored by the outside world."

Cheng Qi's eyes flashed slightly, then his face showed a hint of satisfaction:

"Although the Cheng family has lost its former glory, it has been rooted in Kyoto for more than a hundred years. There are many people who have benefited from my Cheng family. It is not difficult to check the news."

Cheng Qi's tone was arrogant as he revealed the power of the Cheng family in Kyoto. He also said that the royal family suppressed the family at every turn. If the Cheng family had no ambition, Tianchu would have changed hands long ago.

He mentioned what happened to the eldest princess many years ago, which prevented Gu Ruizhou from getting married, and listed all the injustices the royal family had done to the Gu family.

He also said that the Gu family had the most military support, and the emperor would definitely be wary of it. Rather than being on guard at all times, it was better to make the decision himself.

They admire Gu Ruizhou's noble character. If the Gu family wants that position, the Cheng family will use the strength of the whole family to help the Gu family succeed. I just want the Gu family to take care of the Cheng family after they ascend the throne.

Gu Ruizhou listened without saying a word, his face getting colder and colder, and when he finally heard it, he slapped the table angrily and stood up:
"That's enough! There is no need for Young Master Cheng to promote him. The Gu family are all warriors with no talent for governing the country and no desire to climb to the top. They only want to join the battlefield to ensure the stability of Tianchu and the health of the people!"

"When I was young, I often heard my grandfather praising the Cheng family. I have always respected the Cheng family. I didn't expect to hear such words from the young master of the Cheng family today. Out of respect for the Cheng family, I will not report today's words to Your Majesty, but Young Master Cheng, please calm down and do what you want. If you really harm the people for your own selfish desires, the Gu family will be the first to draw out the sword!"

After Gu Ruizhou warned him and said goodbye, he was about to leave the room, but he saw that Cheng Qi, who had looked proud just now, had returned to his first appearance. Not only was there no trace of displeasure in his expression, but there was also bright appreciation in his eyes:
"As expected of a descendant of the Gu family who is loyal and dedicated to the country and the people."
