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

Chapter 425 The You Family

The warriors behind Yelu Guzha glared at him, as if they were about to draw the sharp knives at their waists and fight to the death.

Admiral Jin just smiled and stroked his beard.

Someone behind him laughed and said, "When the proton was in Saibei, he competed with the old student in learning. I think it shouldn't be difficult for him to write a poem...hahaha..."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

The people behind Yelu Guzha could no longer hold back.

"Don't make trouble," Yelu Guzha whispered to stop him.

Brigadier General Jin teased him a few more times, but seeing that Yelu Guzha was enduring the humiliation and would never talk back, he had to leave with his brothers in disappointment.

He walked away, leaving behind a sentence, "I thought he was so tough, and I wanted to give him another life-and-death game."

"You're a defeated general, yet you still dare to come?! Hahahaha..."

Yelu Guzha stared at their backs with a gloomy and fierce look. At this time, the person who went to get the news came back and reported: "Young Master, the Gu family's carriage has left from the main gate."

Yelu Guzha said in a hateful voice: "Gu is really cunning. In that case, let's go!"

A group of people rode their horses straight back to the hostage house.

After sending the servants away, the guards around Yelu Guzha angrily said, "These brats are too much of a bully. If they weren't unaccustomed to playing polo in the Central Plains, how could we have lost!"

Everyone was indignant.

Yelu Guzha stood with his hands behind his back, staring silently at the curl of incense coming out of the gilded brass incense burner on the table.

He knew that with Gu Jinghui around, they couldn't win no matter what.

But now is not the time to enhance the prestige of others and destroy your own ambition.

After everyone had finished their outbursts, he said leisurely, "We in the Yelu clan have a saying, the one who laughs last is the happiest. Don't look down on them now, they will cry in the future."

"Young Master is right!"

Yelu Guzha said again: "Besides, we can't win today even if we can. The emperor of Daxing is here. Will he be happy if we win? We left our hometown and came to Daxing. We should be like Wu Zixu and Gou Jian recorded in the history books of the Central Plains. We should have deep hatred in our hearts and find the right time to strike them hard. But on the surface, we should enjoy their life in the Central Plains like Liu Chan. Only in this way will they be paralyzed and ignore us."

"Yes, young master is wise!"

Everyone became excited again and vowed to hide their strength and seize the opportunity to avenge their previous humiliation.

Yelu Guzha put his hands behind his back, left the incense burner, walked to the table and sat down, and said angrily: "I originally wanted to provoke the little girl in Dingbei Marquis's mansion to do something stupid, but I didn't expect that something would change in the middle of the process, and I actually attracted Dingbei Marquis and alarmed the emperor of Daxing. I have to be more careful in my future actions, and I have to find a way to restore my reputation among the scholars."

After playing polo, he and his clansmen waited in the stands for a long time without having the chance to say a word in front of the emperor. However, Master Gu Liu won the emperor's favor and recited poems for a long time.

This was obviously a silent warning from the emperor.

Yelu Guzha was extremely upset as he failed to gain anything.

An ugly man with a burnt black face, upturned nostrils, curly yellow hair and a tall stature suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, is it that Xu Tang has turned against us?" "Yes," echoed the others.

Yelu Guzha gasped and said, "We gave him so many treasures..."

The ugly man said, "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. These people from the Central Plains are the most cunning."

Yelu Guzha frowned and thought hard.

The ugly man continued, "None of our plans today have been successful. Could it be that the man surnamed Gu got the news in advance?"

This man was Yelu Guzha's cousin's husband, named Yelu Yongxian. He was extremely ugly, but because he was good at riding and shooting, and had fought against the wolf king, he won the favor of Yelu Guzha's uncle, who betrothed his daughter to him.

It was supposed to be a good thing to get rich overnight, but Yelu Guzha's cousin had liked handsome men since she was a child. After getting married, she was depressed and died soon after.

From then on, Yelu Yongxian followed Yelu Guzha and became his indispensable confidant.

Upon hearing this, Yelu Guzha said, "Tell me about it."

Yelu Yongxian looked at the others, meaning that he wanted to talk in private.

Yelu Guzha raised his hand and ordered, "Go back and change your clothes and eat first. It's getting late and you've been tired all day."

After everyone left, Yelu Yongxian said, "We failed to intercept Gu Jinghui today, and he took the lead and returned to Dingbei Marquis Mansion and captured our people. We didn't expect the assassination to succeed, but the people responsible for intercepting him only intercepted the guards around him, which is a bit strange."

Yelu Guzha groaned and said, "You mean..."

Yelu Yongxian added, "Our people went to Gu's house, and it was a sure win. Gu Jingcheng had to report to the Wucheng Military Department every day, and his wife also went to the Marquis' Mansion to help every day. There was only an unfavored concubine in the family, and no one was in charge. We had everything we needed, but who would have thought that we would be captured?"

Yelu Guzha frowned and said, "Is it possible that Gu Jinghui is really cunning and suspicious, and when he encountered the assassination, he immediately suspected that we were going to attack him when we were holding a funeral at his home? It must be not easy for him to win all the time."

Yelu Yongxian thought about it and said, "It's not impossible. But he came to the Imperial College just in time!"

He clapped his hands and sighed, "What a great opportunity it was, but it turned out like this. Who alarmed the Emperor of Daxing?"

It feels like a trap was set for them in reverse.

If they hadn't already known Gu Baozhu's personality, and if they hadn't wanted to provoke her on a whim, Yelu Yongxian would have suspected that this was a trap set by the cunning Gu Jinghui.

Yelu Guzha raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you suspect the Prince of Jin? Or do you suspect the Crown Prince?"

Yelu Yongxian hesitated for a moment.

"Prince Jin is hiding behind the Crown Prince and the King of Qi, intending to be the one who laughs last. Can we trust such a person? The Crown Prince is sickly and incompetent, and he and Queen Lin pretend to be lenient to other brothers and sisters in front of the Emperor of Daxing, unwilling to dirty their hands. He only uses us. I think they see that the Emperor of Daxing promotes and uses Gu Jinghui, and they want to curry favor with him. It's hard to say whether it's them."

Yelu Guzha smiled helplessly and said, "Prince Qi and Gu Jinghui are trustworthy, but will they rely on us? You are one of us, so I am saying something discouraging in front of you. If these princes are all benevolent and filial sons, what chance do we have?"

Yelu Yongxian was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Yelu Guzha added: "I know you are a hero, heroes naturally appreciate heroes. I also look down on the actions of the Crown Prince and the Prince of Jin. There is an old saying in the northern frontier that when the enemy is weak, it is our opportunity. Weakening Daxing is our goal."

At this time, the carriage of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion was blocked on the Hengjie Avenue leading to the north of the city. Gu Liuye looked at the carriage of the Zhenguo Duke Mansion blocking the way in front of him and asked, "Third brother, when did we provoke the You family?"
