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

Chapter 502 Attacking the Heart
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Are you talking about the story of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty Zhu Houzhao conferring a title on his beloved dog? It's just a rumor, which can only be found in folk unofficial history. People also say that Duke Ling of Wei conferred a title on a crane as a scholar-official, and Emperor Huizong of Song conferred a title on a stone lion as a marquis, which led to the fall of the country. But there is no such thing in official history."

Lord Gu immediately refuted: "Mr. Songshan said that the unofficial history is not necessarily all false, and the official history is not necessarily all true. It doesn't matter whether it is true or false, as long as I can use it for my own benefit. It is possible that some things that the official history dare not record have been passed down through unofficial history notes, and of course it is not ruled out that there are rumors and exaggerations to attract attention."

After hearing this, Qin Yuan looked at Lord Gu again and again.

Lord Gu was panicked by being looked at, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong?"

"People say that when a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes. You make me look at you with new eyes every day."

Lord Gu was somewhat pleased with himself.

"It feels like three years since we last met. How many days have passed in three years? Just count... I know, you are like this because you think about me every day."

Qin Yuan was both angry and amused.

Lord Gu stopped while he was ahead.

"Hurry up and hide behind the screen. Don't make any noise. He's almost here."

Qin Yuan sat behind the screen holding the puppy.

Soon, heavy footsteps were heard, accompanied by the clinking of shackles hitting the blue brick floor.

Qin Yuan knew that it was Yelu Xianyong who was brought in.

Through the gap in the screen, I could see that the man's hair was wet and scattered on his shoulders. The water droplets soaked the fabric on his shoulders, making him look a little shabby.

Without the scarf that had been wrapped around his head that day, a charred and rugged face was exposed without any cover.

It's really ugly.

A hoarse, rough voice sounded.

"What does Lord Gu mean?"

Lord Gu smiled and said, "Sit down. I heard that you didn't eat or drink in the dungeon. I guess the food in the Central Plains doesn't suit your taste. I specially invite you to the study to have a drink. This is the food from the northern frontier, specially prepared by the chef in the mansion."

Yelu Xianyong sneered.

Gu Shiliu shouted from the side: "You are in Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, why are you still acting like a master? Our Marquis invites you to drink, don't be ungrateful."

Lord Gu smiled and said, "No, maybe he is scared."

Yelu Xianyong boasted that he was a man who could be counted on the list of heroes in the world, but he was just unlucky and had no chance to show his talents. How could he stand being provoked by others? He immediately raised his head and said, "I, Yelu Xianyong, am an upright hero. How could I be afraid of you?"

Gu Shiliu sneered and said, "I think it's just a big bear."

Lord Gu just looked at Yelu Xianyong with an amused expression.

Yelu Xianyong's blood boiled, so he took a step forward, sat opposite Lord Gu with a big horse and a golden sword, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Gu."

Gu Shiliu laughed twice and said sarcastically, "Now you don't have to worry about the food and wine being poisonous."

"Sixteen, be careful with your words. Yelu Xianyong is a real hero." Lord Gu picked up the wine bowl again and raised it to Yelu Xianyong, saying, "I have heard of your great name on the battlefield for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you. Today is a coincidence. Let's put everything else aside and drink to our heart's content."

Yelu Xianyong stared at Lord Gu for a while, and finally picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. "Dingbei Hou is known as the God of War. I have long wanted to meet him, but I just don't know how."

"Haha, God of War?" Lord Gu sighed, "Now that the battle is over, let's not talk about it anymore. I should also let my horse go to Nanshan and live a life of leisure and wealth."

Yelu Xianyong looked incredulous: "Your Majesty is now in your prime, and I heard that the emperor has placed great importance on you. I wonder why you would say such things in front of a captive like me?"

"What do you mean you were captured? You were just brought in by my wife." Lord Gu said with a smile, "We men can't help but look down on weak women. It's normal for you to be tricked. You don't have to take it to heart."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yelu Xianyong's arrogance and stubbornness suddenly eased a lot.

Lord Gu filled another bowl, and without trying to persuade him, he drank it all by himself, saying, "There will be no more wars in the future, and the court will be the world of civil officials. As for military generals, they just need to guard the borders. Why would they need me? No matter how heroic you are, you have to have a place to use your skills, right? For example, you are also one of the best heroes in the Yelu clan, but you have to stay here."

Qin Yuan nodded secretly behind the screen.

Lord Gu's words were extremely offensive.

Yelu Xianyong did not answer, but poured himself a bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Wiping his lips, Fang said, "This is really in line with the saying, if the rabbit is gone, the Saker Falcon should rest. If the prey is gone, the bow and arrow will be put in the warehouse to gather dust. We are all eager to make achievements and work hard for our masters. The good ones are like the Marquis who let the horse go to Nanshan and leave it unused. The bad ones are like those who died on the battlefield without leaving any bones."

Qin Yuan couldn't see clearly through the screen, but Lord Gu could tell that Yelu Xianyong was already a little drunk.

I guess this person didn't eat or drink, as he drank two bowls of Shaodaozi right away. His mood was so up and down that he soon got drunk.

Lord Gu smiled and said, "What can we do? There are so many things in this world that are not satisfactory, and we can only go with the flow. For example, you, although you are a brave general, have to attack women and children for your master. If this happened in Saibei, you would not even think highly of yourself."

Lord Gu's words made Yelu Xianyong's mood churn again. He poured himself another bowl of wine, drank it in one gulp, put down the bowl heavily, and said, "Dingbei Marquis, your wife is really amazing. Until now, I still don't understand how she gave me away. I thought in the dungeon that I, Yelu Xianyong, am really useless! I couldn't beat you in the battle, and I accept the loss. You are a martial arts expert, and the Gu family has been guarding the northern frontier for many years, making the country rich and the people strong. It is normal that we can't beat you. But I didn't expect that even your little wife could trick me into the marquis' mansion and make a dog behind the door."

Gu Shiliu stood aside and couldn't help but smile.

Qin Yuan also chuckled.

Lord Gu smiled and said, "You can't envy me for that. I'm telling you, I don't know how many people envy me for having a good wife. My wife's appearance is needless to say, she has countless good qualities, and she treats me well, and her heart and eyes are full of me. We are husband and wife, a match made in heaven."

After saying that, he couldn't help but glance towards the screen.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "How disgusting."

Yelu Xianyong was greatly excited.

Talking about this marriage, it is also a pain in his heart.

So he poured another bowl of wine into his stomach.

He was really a little dizzy now, and he burped: "Lord Gu, you must keep a close eye on your little wife. If such a good wife is snatched away by someone else and cheated on you, would you be willing to kill her? What if the one cheating on you is the Crown Prince Jin Wang, what would you do? You Daxing people value loyalty to the emperor, are you going to put up with this?"

He poured bowl after bowl of wine down his throat.

It's like pouring water.

He didn't notice at all that the man in front of him had a gloomy face and murderous eyes.
