When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 172 Chapter 171 The Villa is Besieged, Gu Hua is Threatened
Running fast all the way.

As soon as Gu Hua and Xiao Junlin arrived at the foot of the mountain on horseback, they discovered something was wrong.

Even now, it was already evening.

The newly built Shulin Village at the foot of the mountain shouldn't be so quiet.

Gu Hua and Xiao Junlin looked at each other, as if they sensed something was happening, and ran towards the villa at the same time.

"You are finally back." At this time, the people at the gate of the villa seemed to be waiting for Gu Hua and the others to come back. Seeing them, they smiled sinisterly and said, "Our young master has been waiting for you two for a long time."

After Gu Hua recognized this person, his heart calmed down.

I believe that since I came here, except for a small conflict during the last hunting trip, I have not had any irreconcilable grudges with the people of Laoshan Village in other areas.

"Young Master?!" Gu Hua's cold eyes flashed with doubt, and then he realized in an instant, "Hu Hai is your Young Master."

No wonder when she went hunting that day, she saw the young man surrounded by everyone in front, and the middle-aged man counting beside him. She could tell at a glance that they were not working villagers.

The person at the door smiled and did not deny it.

After Gu Hua figured it out, he said, "So that's it!"

Xiao Junlin didn't know who the Hu Hai that Gu Hua mentioned was, but he guessed that this person was definitely not a gentleman, otherwise he would not have taken advantage of the host's absence and done something so unethical.

Gu Hua glanced at his surrounded villa, his eyes flashed with a cold light, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if everything in front of him was normal.

He was wearing a tight-fitting fur-collared robe and a green cloak with cloud patterns. He flicked the cloak lightly and walked towards the villa swiftly.

She wanted to see what abilities and purposes this Hu Hai had. He dared to bring people to forcibly control the villa while she was away. It seemed that she was too kind, allowing some people to think that they could control her at will.

When I walked into the villa, I saw many fierce-looking strangers standing in the courtyard in groups of three or five.

These people found that Gu Hua and Xiao Junlin were whispering to each other, and they didn't know what they were talking about, and occasionally they would laugh lewdly.

Looking at these people behaving indecently, Gu Hua's eyes became even colder. They really treated her newly built villa as their own.

Xiao Junlin glanced at those people coldly. He sensed a bloody aura from them. His thick dark brows furrowed, he nodded in secret, and continued to follow Gu Hua's footsteps into the lobby of the villa.

Hu Hai, dressed in brocade, sat at the first seat in the main hall, while the village chief Hu, whom he called father, stood below in a polite manner with the shrewd middle-aged man.

"Prince Li, long time no see. Do you still recognize me?" As soon as Gu Hua and Xiao Junlin stepped in, Village Chief Hu and the middle-aged man bowed to him with an unnatural smile.

Xiao Junlin narrowed his deep eyes, glanced at the two of them, and said coldly: "I didn't expect it to be you."

"When the crown prince was deposed, one of you was a relative of the emperor and the other was a counselor. The late emperor was merciful and did not kill you but only sentenced you to exile."

Xiao Junlin looked at the young man Hu Hai who was sitting at the head with an expression full of arrogance, as if he was superior to others, and shook his head, "It seems that you instigated the crown prince to force the emperor to rebellion, but you still haven't given up after all these years."

When the two heard Xiao Junlin mention that many years ago, before they took any action, they were reported by an internal spy, the prince was deposed, and those who followed them were either killed or exiled, their faces became complicated and resentful.

Xiao Junlin raised his chin and said to the leader, "He is the child you swapped out back then, right?"

Hu Kun, the village chief and Hu Hai's maternal uncle, felt a pain in his heart when he thought about how he had swapped his eldest grandson for the youngest son of his Crown Princess's sister.

The eldest son and his wife lost their beloved son and could not understand why he was trying to plan for the future of the family. They died with hatred in that catastrophe. Hu Kun looked at his nephew Xiao Hai with a complicated expression in his wrinkled old eyes.

"Yes! It's him." The middle-aged man, Kong Daosheng, the former prince's counselor, said with a hypocritical smile, "We should thank Prince Li back then. If you hadn't passed by, the young master wouldn't have been so easily replaced by us and taken out of the prince's mansion." Xiao Junlin nodded without being polite, "You are a grateful person. You haven't forgotten that I stopped the guards from searching you."

Kong Daosheng was stunned.

Seeing the hint of sarcasm on Xiao Junlin's lips, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face.

Gu Hua was worried about the children and the other people, so he interrupted their reminiscing and looked at Hu Hai and the others. He said briefly, "This is my home. What is the purpose of your coming here?"

Gu Hua did not ask where the child and other people were now. It was obvious that these people came with a purpose. If they did not achieve their purpose, they would probably not let her see the child and other people in the family easily.

Hu Hai and others were confused by Gu Hua's directness. She shouldn't have been so anxious to ask them to release the person, or ask to see the person she cared about the most and wanted to see the most.

"Speak." Xiao Junlin said coldly, "I also want to hear what your purpose is in disregarding the kindness we showed you in the past and bringing people to surround this place that I am protecting."

When the others saw Prince Li Xiao Junlin's cold face, they all looked embarrassed. Only Xiao Hai, who changed his surname to Hu Hai, was used to being praised by everyone in this small place because he was the blood of the former crown prince.

Although he looked gentle on the outside, he was actually arrogant on the inside. He thought he had grasped the weaknesses of Gu Hua and Xiao Junlin, so he spoke without any hesitation.

He said, "This young master has seen that Master Gu is a capable person, and would like to recruit him to work for me. What do you think?"

Gu Hua looked calm and said calmly, "What else do you want me to do? Tell me everything at once, so I can consider whether I am qualified to join you."

Hu Kun was very dissatisfied that his nephew did not do as they had agreed.

They now need money to expand their power.

Moreover, Gu Hua's children and subordinates were captured by them and used as bargaining chips to threaten her. How could she truly surrender?

Kong Daosheng also knew that it was a bit difficult to get other people's money and make them surrender at the same time.

At first, they wanted their young master to use his charm to win over Gu Hua, so that he would voluntarily follow and support him in his career.

However, they discovered from the last hunt that Gu Hua was very capable and was simply not someone their young master, a young boy, could conquer, so they resorted to this desperate measure.

Kong Daosheng smiled dignifiedly and said, "I heard that Mr. Gu was originally a famous wealthy businessman in Jiangzhou City. I wonder if he can give money to support the young master to raise some people. When the uprising succeeds, the young master will also benefit from Mr. Gu's benefits."

Gu Hua sneered, “If there wasn’t such murderous intent in your eyes, I would have believed what you said.”

Hu Haiqing was very cautious and not only wanted her to help him with things, but also wanted to use her money to recruit soldiers.

However, the people who followed him were all insidious and shrewd. They knew that after they paid the money, the other party would never be willing to submit to them sincerely. Therefore, they painted a big pie for themselves but never thought about keeping themselves alive to work for them.

"..."

It's true that young people are too ambitious but lack experience. Even if he were to sit on the throne, he would still be a puppet emperor.

Gu Hua did not pretend to say that he had no money, because since these people had already made their move, they would not allow him to say that he had no money.

Gu Hua still smiled and said calmly: "What if I don't want to be someone's subordinate and don't want to take the money?"

"It's not up to you." Hu Kun sneered, "Don't forget that your child and everyone in this village are in our hands. If you want them to live, you'd better tell us where you hid the money."
