My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 407: Almost Being Stabbed into a Hedgehog

Soon all kinds of rumors spread throughout the camp.

Lord Gu was completely unaware of this and rode back excitedly, whipping his horse.

Tixue Wuzhui was a horse that could run a thousand miles a day, and soon he had left Gu Shiba far behind. When passing Hengjie Avenue, a golden dog suddenly jumped out from the side, and Tixue Wuzhui had no time to retract his hoof, and kicked the dog into the air.

With a "bang", the dog fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Oh," Lord Gu quickly turned around, jumped off his horse and took a closer look.

It is a Dali Shar-Pei dog. Its whole body is limp, its eyes are half-open and half-closed, and it makes a faint whimper. I am afraid that all its bones are broken.

"Whose hound is this?"

Lord Gu asked as he stood nearby.

There were many people around watching the fun, but no one said anything.

The families who can afford to keep a Dali Shar-Pei are either rich or noble. This kind of dog usually runs in the front to explore the way during hunting, and has the ability to save its life. When bitten by a wild beast, its fur will all stand up, making it difficult to swallow and it can only spit it out.

They usually appear in groups, and it is hard to tell where this Dali Shar-Pei dog that suddenly appeared came from.

After waiting and waiting, the hound's owner still did not show up.

Lord Gu had no choice but to instruct the vendors around him: "I am taking this injured dog to see a doctor. If the dog's owner comes, please ask him to go to Renhe Hall to look for it. If he is not in Renhe Hall, please ask him to go to Dingbei Marquis Mansion to look for it."

The vendors hurriedly said, "We will definitely pass on the message, Lord, you can leave now."

Lord Gu picked up the injured dog and laid it horizontally on his horse, then walked towards Renhe Hall not far away.

Gu Shiba had just stepped onto Hengjie Avenue at this time, and saw from afar a group of people blocking the middle of the street, making it impossible to get through, so he had to slow down his horse.

"What's going on here?"

Gu Shiba came closer and asked.

"Marquis Dingbei rode his horse across the street and injured a hunting dog," the passerby replied.

Gu Shiba was startled, "Where is the Dingbei Marquis?"

The passerby said, "He said he went to Renhe Hall to find a doctor to look after his dog. I don't know whose hound it is. The Marquis even left a message for the dog's owner to pass on."

Gu Shiba threw a piece of silver to a passerby and said, "Thank you." Then he turned his horse around to look for his master.

But before they had gone far, they were stopped by a group of men who were delivering betrothal gifts with music and drums.

"What a coincidence?"

No matter how anxious Gu Shiba was, he had to wait for the men to pass by carrying the betrothal gifts.

The horse under him also felt his master's anxiety and moved its hooves restlessly.

The betrothal gifts from the other party seemed endless.

If you want to change lanes, this is a unique lane.

It took a full quarter of an hour to wait like this.

Gu Shiba held his temper and drove his horse through the crowd. He finally arrived at Renhe Hall, dismounted, and tied the horse to the hitching post in front of the hall. Before he entered the door, Xiaodong, who heard the noise, came out to greet him. When he saw it was him, he asked, "Why are you here so late?"

Gu Shiba asked hurriedly: "Where is the Marquis?"

Xiaodong looked unhappy and said, "The Marquis was almost stabbed on the way to deliver the dog, and he is gone now."

Gu Shiba's legs suddenly went limp.

"Who is so bold as to assassinate the Marquis in the capital? Is the Marquis injured?" Xiaodong only said, "The Marquis said that if you come here, he will let you go back to the mansion to find Sixteenth Brother."

Gu Shiba hurried back.

The more anxious they were, the slower they went. There were many delays on the way back home, and it was an hour later when they found Gu Shiliu.

"sixteen!"

Gu Shiba was about to cry.

As soon as Gu Shiliu saw him, he asked, "Why did you come back just now, you idiot?"

Gu Eighteen: “…”

Gu Shiliu said: "What a great opportunity to make a contribution is gone."

Gu Shiba's heart returned to his stomach.

"What happened? Is the Marquis all right?"

Gu Shiliu said with regret, "The Marquis is naturally fine. He was almost assassinated near Hengjie Avenue today. You were not around and he lost the chance to make a contribution. The Marquis came back just in time to see the commotion next door. Several people from the Yelu clan were arrested, and you were not there either."

Gu Shiba suddenly pulled off the scarf on his head and threw it on the ground.

"I can't help it. On the way back, I was stuck in traffic everywhere. It was like someone was watching me. Isn't that weird?"

"I'm afraid someone deliberately arranged it. The Marquis felt something was wrong, so he left the horse directly at Renhe Hall and climbed over the eaves and walls to come back."

Gu Shiliu patted Gu Shiba's shoulder and said soothingly, "It seems that this group of people originally wanted to hold you and the Marquis back, but unexpectedly, they only held you back."

Gu Shiba came to his senses and said, "The Yelu clan's people wanted to assassinate the Marquis and cause chaos, and then take the twins away?"

"Not stupid at all," Gu Shiliu said, "After the marquis was stabbed, he felt something was wrong and came back from the back door of Renhe Hall. He hurried over to catch up. Actually..."

"Actually what?"

Gu Shiliu said, "In fact, Old Lady Qi has already discovered something is wrong and quietly passed the news to me. However, the people on Master Cheng's side only knew that someone would take them away today in the chaos, but they didn't know that Zhao had the ability to instruct Yelu's people to assassinate the Marquis."

Gu Shiba asked: "So that Zhao really has connections with Yelu?"

Gu Shiliu nodded heavily.

Gu Shiba said: "How can the Marquis bear it?"

Gu Shiliu smiled and said, "The current Marquis no longer takes these things to heart."

Wutong Court.

Lord Gu was lying on his back in the tub, soaking in a medicinal bath. His long neck leaned against the wall of the tub, revealing his jagged Adam's apple. A few strands of black hair stuck to the hollow of his collarbone, and his handsome, sharp eyebrows were softened by the wisp of white mist that filled the room.

"Yuan'er, this medicinal bath is really hot. I'm not afraid of cold or heat, but I can't stand this heat."

Qin Yuan said through the door, "Doctor Li said that this is the only way to nourish your husband's body and drive away the cold. Now that the weather has not completely turned cold, it is a good time for a medicinal bath. Hasn't your husband heard of treating cold diseases in summer? Although it is late summer and early autumn now, it is still appropriate. Your husband must soak for at least an hour before coming out. If the water gets cold, call someone to add more."

Lord Gu was soaking in the bath to an unbearable degree, and sweat slid down his forehead and soaked into the dark brown potion along his exposed chest.

If it weren't for the strong bitter smell of the medicine, the scene would have been quite erotic.

Lord Gu resigned himself to his fate and said, "Okay, but you have to stay with me outside and chat with me for a while. Otherwise, I really can't stay here."

Qin Yuan: “…”

Is this the famous Marquis Gu?
Why are you so clingy?
Lord Gu, who was unaware that his young wife disliked him, coughed twice before saying weakly, "On the way back today, I was almost assassinated. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been stabbed into a hedgehog by the Yelu clan."

The precious book given by Admiral Jin said that men should learn to play the victim and show weakness so that women will feel sorry for them. Lord Gu plans to put this into practice. As long as his wife softens her heart, she will no longer ask him what the punishment is if he commits the same crime again.
