Chapter 544: Arrogant soldiers will be defeated
Lord Gu couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "What a coincidence, you and your third brother like to eat similar things, but your sixth brother likes to eat different things. Is it because you two both practice martial arts?"

Gu Baozhu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. Maybe it's because of what my third sister-in-law said."

Lord Gu's brows relaxed and he said with a smile, "Yuan'er really understands my preferences. I've been hungry for two days, so I need to have a good meal."

Qin Yuan hurriedly asked someone to serve the rice.

Lord Gu took the food and started eating. Gu Baozhu was also very hungry.

The brother and sister said nothing as they finished the food on the table like whirlwind.

Qin Yuan, who had just picked up a few dishes with chopsticks, said: "...Ask the kitchen to bring up some more dishes."

Gu Baozhu said, "Third sister-in-law, give me some more of those meat rolls. I can still eat three or four."

Lord Gu looked over.

Gu Baozhu glared: "I just ate a few of your meals, and you're so reluctant to part with them."

Lord Gu said, "I want that meat roll, too. Give me ten."

Gu Baozhu snorted and said nothing more.

Looking at the two siblings, Qin Yuan just felt a headache.

Later, when Gu Baozhu wanted to drink another bowl of soup, Lord Gu took the bowl and drank it all up.

Gu Baozhu said angrily, "Will drinking the soup make Third Brother poor or what?"

Lord Gu said, "I just don't want to give you a drink. You stay out all day and hang out outside. Don't think I don't know what you do just because I'm outside. Why did you dress up as a boy and go out today?"

Gu Baozhu said: "I am not doing this for my third sister-in-law."

Qin Yuan was a little amused, "Why for me?"

Gu Baozhu argued: "The Xu family has bullied me to the point of being bullied. I must avenge my third sister-in-law. Moreover, Heng Ge'er is my third sister-in-law's younger brother. In order to protect Mr. Qin, he has gone deep into the tiger's den. I can't just stand by and watch. I can only lend a hand."

Gu Jinghui said: “Don’t worry about it. I arranged for someone to watch over the Qin family. When they saw you come forward, they didn’t show up.”

Gu Baozhu begged, "I'm leaving soon anyway. Besides, they don't know who I am. I'm walking around as Master Qi Gu. People think I'm the favored son of a wealthy businessman who doesn't do his job and just likes playing Cuju. Just let me play for a while."

Qin Yuan asked, "You said you promised Heng Ge'er that you would play football on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Is this the identity you will use?"

Gu Baozhu nodded: "Yes, with me here, Heng Ge'er can't suffer any injustice. Besides, I also want to meet Xu Tang. Didn't Xiaodong say last time that his tricks were very insidious, and the shoes he wore had iron plates on his feet, which hurt the tendons of the person's feet. I plan to teach him a lesson."

Teach Xu Tang a lesson?!

Gu Jinghui thought it was possible, so he immediately changed his mind and said, “Your martial arts skills are better now than before, but you still have to be careful. You must not be careless and lose Jingzhou.”

Gu Baozhu said, "I know they can't beat me today, so we are planning to fight again tomorrow. I think we should ask Xu Tang to come and let him see my ability when the time comes."

Lord Gu was relieved: "You decide."

Seeing that her third brother no longer rejected her, Gu Baozhu was very happy. She talked for a while longer before going to her sixth brother to report the good news.

As soon as she left, Lord Gu said, "Finally she left."

Qin Yuan chuckled and said, "You are so annoying right now. I'm afraid she will think about it again when she goes to study at Baihe Academy."

"Oh, who would miss her? It would be quieter without her." Lord Gu disagreed.

Qin Yuan asked, "Why would you send her to Baihe Academy for no reason?"

Lord Gu was beaming with joy, "You are also worried about the scholars at the White Crane Academy, right?"

Qin Yuan laughed: "How can you treat someone else's brother like this? How can you say this about your own sister?"

“What I said is still light. She won’t suffer any loss. Otherwise, I would never let her go,” Gu Jinghui said, “That’s why mother agreed.”

Whenever trouble arises, someone always has to clean up the mess.

Qin Yuan said: "Although Baozhu is reckless, she is not without a plan. Maybe after two years of being outside, she will gain more experience and change her personality. She said that you and mother must have something to do, so you hurriedly sent her out to study."

Lord Gu sighed and said, "I didn't expect she still has some brains."

Qin Yuan frowned, and said with amusement and anger: "Don't always look down on others. Arrogance leads to failure, understand?"

This touched Lord Gu, and after a while he said, "You are right. At the beginning, I thought Zhao was a weak and helpless widow..."

Qin Yuan asked hurriedly: "Have you found any trace of Zhao?"

Lord Gu shook his head slowly.

Qin Yuan frowned and hesitated before speaking. Lord Gu continued, "I suddenly thought of the Crown Prince just now. Before, I only thought that he was sick and sick, and it was lucky that he lived to succeed to the throne. It was better to keep out of each other's way. Who would have thought that Queen Lin and the Crown Prince would be so troublesome."

Qin Yuan remained silent.

Lord Gu added, "Back then, Queen Lin was never taken seriously by His Royal Highness the late Crown Prince and others... As the ancients said, arrogance leads to failure. I need to remind myself from time to time that I must never underestimate anyone."

Qin Yuan asked cautiously, "Baozhu was sent to study, was it because of the prince?"

Lord Gu nodded and said, "We have heard from the King of Qi that there is no progress in the selection of the Crown Prince's concubine. Queen Lin pointed Princess Fuyun to Zhang Hanlin in order to suppress the King of Qi. However, she did not expect that the King of Qi would take this opportunity to get along with his Jiangxi cousins. Therefore, Queen Lin set her sights on Baozhu."

Qin Yuan sighed, "A centipede is still alive even after death. Your Highness the Prince of Qi still has capable people in the palace."

Lord Gu nodded and whispered, "Old Wang, Dai Sheng and others are all people of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."

Seeing his confident words, Qin Yuan knew that the King of Qi and Lord Gu had revealed their true colors. Lord Gu no longer tried to distance himself from the King of Qi, but instead formed an alliance with him.

After thinking for a while, Qin Yuan felt that this was the best solution at the moment, so she said, "My husband can always keep this in mind, and your chances of winning will be higher in the future."

Lord Gu stood up and stretched, his voice full of fatigue: "Yuan'er, your husband has been running around for two days without closing his eyes. Now that you have eaten and drunk enough, you are feeling sleepy. You must have a good sleep, so I won't talk to you anymore."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Go to sleep quickly. I have asked Mo Zhu to make the bed."

Lord Gu lowered his head and gently scratched the tip of Qin Yuan's delicate nose, saying, "I know you have a lot to ask. I will tell you slowly when I wake up."

Qin Yuan hurriedly pushed him and said, "Go and have a rest."

Lord Gu remained motionless and asked again, "When will you sleep?"

Qin Yuan blushed and said, "Of course I will go to bed at the same time as usual. You go to bed first and I will come after I am done with my work."

Lord Gu then got on the bed, and not long after he lay down, soft snoring sounds were heard from inside the tent.

Qin Yuan was stunned for a while and was about to call for help when she heard soft sobbing coming from outside the window.
