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

Chapter 505: A lot of saliva
Yelu Xianyong stood up quickly, as if he wanted to chase after him, but then he realized that something was wrong and sat down again.

Lord Gu said, "It doesn't matter. With Sixteen and the others here, they can't run away."

Yelu Xianyong frowned and asked, "Who could it be?"

Lord Gu smiled but said nothing, just urged him to drink.

Yelu Xianyong sighed.

"My Lord, you have great self-control!"

Lord Gu said, "These things are not as important as drinking with you. We drink less and less each time, you can't stay here longer."

Yelu Xianyong widened his eyes.

"Could it be that the Marquis is willing to let me go back?"

Lord Gu also widened his eyes.

"Could it be that my dear brother would rather stay here with me?"

Yelu Xianyong's eyes welled up with tears, and he sighed, "The Marquis is indeed a true hero."

Lord Gu said with a smile, "Why should we be like this? Although I am reluctant to let you go, you are in Cao's camp but your heart is with Han. If I keep you, it will only add to your troubles."

Yelu Xianyong wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and held the wine with trembling hands: "I won't say anything, everything is in this bowl of wine. The Marquis treated me like this, and I, Yelu Xianyong, am not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for me. I will definitely be rewarded in the future."

Lord Gu also picked up the wine.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

Yelu Xianyong said: "I have something to say from the bottom of my heart, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"It's fine between you and me."

Yelu Xianyong said sternly, "I know that the Marquis loves and respects my sister-in-law, so we must protect her even more. It's okay in the mansion, but we must add more people to protect her outside. In order to prevent someone from getting on bad terms with the Marquis and having no chance to do anything, they turn around and kill the person the Marquis loves."

Lord Gu's pupils shrank slightly, and he said solemnly: "I have remembered everything you said, my dear brother."

As they were talking, Gu Shiliu came to report: "My Lord, a member of the Yelu clan escaped."

Lord Gu's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He asked, "What happened? How could someone escape from the dungeon? How did you do it?"

Gu Shiliu immediately knelt down and said, "My Lord, it's all my fault. The guards in the dungeon secretly brought in strong liquor today and got drunk. We neglected to check. The two Yelu clan members took the opportunity to escape in two different groups. One was taken back, and the other took advantage of the chaos and hid in the cart that delivered food every day."

Lord Gu threw the wine bowl to the ground and said angrily, "Go down and accept the punishment."

"Yes," Gu Shiliu hurriedly lowered his hands.

Lord Gu looked at Yelu Xianyong and said apologetically, "Brother, I wanted to keep you for a few more days, but now someone has escaped, I'm afraid it will be bad for you."

Yelu Xianyong asked: "Why do you say so, Lord?"

Lord Gu said, "I treat you with courtesy here. I'm afraid they will become suspicious when they see you. They will report you to Yelu Guzha when they return."

"But I have never betrayed my master."

Yelu Xianyong was half-believing and half-doubting.

Lord Gu sighed, "People who go back will naturally exaggerate the situation in order to reduce the punishment. I just hope Yelu Guzha is a wise leader and will not listen to slander. I had good intentions, but I didn't expect to get you into trouble."

Yelu Xianyong stood up and bowed.

"Thank you for considering me, Lord. I believe that the young master knows my character and will not doubt me."

Gu Jinghui hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, “Since you insist on doing this, I will fulfill your wish. Someone come.”

Gu Shiba walked in upon hearing the sound.

"Release Yelu Xianyong."

Lord Gu ordered. Gu Shiba frowned and glanced at Yelu Xianyong who looked grateful, and hurriedly advised: "Lord, this man cannot be released. He is a brave general under Yelu Guzha and is very difficult to catch. This time, it was Madam who used a trick to catch him. Letting the tiger go back to the mountains will cause endless troubles, and he will definitely harm us in the future."

Gu Jinghui waved his hand.

"My dear brother, you are not that kind of person. I believe him. Please don't say anything more."

Yelu Xianyong was so moved that tears were about to come out.

Gu Shiba glared at Yelu Xianyong and dragged him out of the study.

Yelu Xianyong turned around and said goodbye: "My Lord, we will meet again later."

Lord Gu was reluctant to leave: "My dear brother, we will meet again later."

Gu Shiba was leading Yelu Xianyong outside mumbling something, when he ran into Gu Shiliu who was limping inside with a pale face.

"What happened?" Gu Shiba asked.

"A man from the Yelu clan ran away, and the master asked me to go and accept the punishment. I have just received half of the punishment, and I will receive the other half tomorrow."

Gu Shiliu was not happy.

Gu Shiba complained, "Master is going to let this fellow go!"

Gu Shiliu became even more annoyed. He glared at Yelu Xianyong and said, "I really don't know what kind of drug this guy fed to the Marquis. He treats him like a guest of honor every day. He wants to punish me for escaping an unknown person, but he wants to let him go."

"That's what I said, too," Gu Shiba followed up, "Sometimes I really don't understand what the master is thinking."

"Since the master came back from the northern frontier, things have changed. We are no longer the brothers who followed the master through thick and thin. The master is the master, and we are the servants. Let's be more open-minded."

Gu Shiba said: "Even you said so!"

He turned around and glared at Yelu Xianyong fiercely, and shouted, "Let's go."

Perhaps he was unhappy, so he took Yelu Xianyong to the gate of the mansion before removing the shackles from his feet.

Butler Han came over and asked, "Eighteen, what are you doing?"

Gu Shiba said in a muffled voice: "The master has said that he wants to release him."

Butler Han looked sternly at Yelu Xianyong and said, "Let him go. What if he comes to harm us again in the future?"

Yelu Xianyong couldn't help but say, "I, Yelu Xianyong, am not that kind of villain."

Butler Han sneered.

"Would I believe you? We are all slaves, and you can't write the four words 'no choice'? Yelu Guzha ordered you to harm us, and you dare to go against his will?"

Yelu Xianyong shouted, "I, Yelu Xianyong, swear here that I will never harm anyone in Dingbei Marquis's Mansion in this lifetime."

Butler Han thought for a moment and said, "I just hope you can keep your word and do what you say."

Gu Shiba lifted up his shackles, looked at Yelu Xianyong with disdain, and scolded, "Why don't you hurry up? Do you want us to line up to see you off? Haven't you had enough good food and wine these past few days?!"

Yelu Xianyong then seemed to wake up from a dream and tentatively walked out of the mansion.

Seeing that no one was stopping him, he couldn't help but take bigger and bigger steps and walk faster and faster.

Gu Shiba crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "I said that the Marquis had good intentions but gave them to the dogs. Do you think he is reluctant at all?"

Butler Han smiled and said, "If it were you, I'm afraid you would run faster than him."

Gu Eighteen said, "Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about this unlucky thing. I don't know if Seventeen has replied. We should just collect the pepper and make money."

Yelu Xianyong walked out of the house, turned around and bowed to them earnestly, saying: "Please ask Brother Eighteen to pass on a message to the Marquis for me. In the future, we will be together forever. Please take care of yourself. I, Yelu Xianyong, will never forget your kindness."

After Yelu Xianyong left, Gu Shibafang said, "This guy really cost me a lot of saliva."
