I should marry the traitor

Chapter 57: I will definitely live up to Yuliang Gong's trust

Obviously, Yuan didn't suspect anything.

After all, whether in name or in reality, the Northern Di Army is now an ally that follows An Xinlin into the capital to purge the emperor and punish traitors.

Which good guy would turn his friendly forces into rations before going out to fight? Even the war criminals of Paradox would not turn their allies into canned food before going out.

The Origami King naturally thought that An Xinlin had probably massacred a village of Qian people, looted the food and grass but felt it was not enough, so he turned these people into military rations.

Of course, An Xinlin took the opportunity to admit the Origami King's guess, and put the blame for Yuan's conjecture on the Northern Di people.

Of course, this approach would cause Yuan to be angry to a certain extent, but they were all minor matters.

An Xinlin and Yuan have been rivals for many years. Even if they are cooperating now, there is only a simple exchange of interests between them.

After all, this is not a certain type of novel where people who have been killing each other for years can inexplicably develop feelings other than hatred.

The mixed-bloods have cold feelings, so they can calculate their interests more clearly.

If it was just a simple attempt to put the blame on someone, this would not make Yuan give up her cooperation with An Xinlin. On the contrary, it would make her feel more at ease.

It's like if you ask someone if he would be willing to run naked in a square if you give him 5 million. If you really give him the money without adding the condition of live streaming on the entire network, he would be afraid that you are giving him the currency of Tiandi Bank.

Although this blame will make Yuan angry for a while, it also gives her peace of mind.

Although many people in the army recognized the specialness of this dried meat, this was a battlefield and they would starve to death if they did not eat military rations.

What's more, whether it is the Qian people or the Beidi people, the bottom line of most people is actually not that high, especially under the influence of herd mentality.

The special nature of the food and fodder did not cause much unrest in the army.

After receiving sufficient supplies of food and fodder, the army marched to the edge of Zhongshan County in a mighty manner.

As the sun set, smoke rose from the camp where the army had set up camp. Scouts in the distance quickly fled after discovering the army's whereabouts.

……

Guo Tu is a man who is good at business.

He was not from Jizhou. He was born into a noble family in Yingchuan. However, the fact that he was able to gain a foothold in Jizhou, where there were many noble families, was enough to show that he was a talented person who was good at networking.

Maybe this cleverness can be harmful to others sometimes, but sometimes it can be really useful.

What no one knew was that as Yuan Shao's adviser, he actually had a very deep relationship with the Gao family of Bohai.

For various reasons, the illegitimate son of the head of the Bohai Gao family was fostered under the name of Guo Tu's illegitimate son.

Because of this matter, Guo Tu was often troubled by his wife, and even encountered many embarrassing things, but he still kept his mouth shut and never revealed a word to anyone.

Including his wife who was born into a noble family.

It’s not that his wife is untrustworthy, but because Guo Tu wants to maximize the benefits of this favor.

After all, if you help the boss raise an illegitimate child and create more well-known family conflicts, the boss will be more considerate of you.

For this reason, Guo Tu would rather suffer more in order to maximize this rare favor.

This is Guo Tu's underwear. Although the Bohai Gao family is not as prominent as the Yuan family, it is also one of the few prominent families in Jizhou.

The person who was talking with Guo Tu at this moment was Gao Pei, the head of the Gao family, Gao Yuliang.

"Gongze, are you sure you want to do this for the Yuan family?" "I have made up my mind. I beg Gong Yuliang to help me."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang stood up and paced back and forth in the Gao family's hall, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Jizhou was in a very delicate situation at this time, so the aristocratic families were all waiting and watching. Whoever stepped forward to help first would become an absolute loyalist of the Yuan family.

If Yuan Shao wins, everyone will be happy. As the first person to provide timely help, she will be handsomely rewarded.

But if Yuan Shao lost and An Xinlin entered Jizhou, there would inevitably be a certain degree of purge of the Jizhou aristocratic families.

Most of the noble families would probably just bleed a little and let it go, but if they became the Yuan family's staunchest ally at this moment, they would probably be made an example of once the Beishuo Army invaded.

For such an important matter, even if Yuan Shao came to ask in person, Gao Yuliang would probably just play Tai Chi and get away with it.

But the person who came to ask for help was Guo Gongze, and Gao Yuliang had no choice but to do his job.

Gao Yuliang saw how much grievance Guo Tu had suffered in the past few years in order to help him raise his son, and he never revealed a word even when the family was in serious discord.

These are all things that Gao Yuliang must repay.

Of course the most important thing is that Gao Yuliang had only a sickly daughter at home who had not yet inherited his bloodline. However, the jealous woman that Gao Yuliang married was of noble status and did not allow him to take a concubine. She even killed the two illegitimate children that Gao Yuliang had raised outside.

That is to say, Gao Yuliang's only son is still living in Guo Tu's mansion. As the head of a wealthy family, he can ignore Yuan Shao's request to cross the line, but he absolutely cannot ignore Guo Tu.

Gao Yuliang is already very old and he knows it will be difficult for him to have another child.

So, should he give up his only son and continue to protect the family, or protect his son and gamble the entire Gao family.

Gao Yuliang must make a choice at this time.

Of course... take a gamble!

Gao Yuliang is undoubtedly a selfish person. If the next head of the Gao family cannot be his child, he would rather the Gao family be destroyed.

Not only was his legitimate daughter a sickly girl, but most importantly, she only inherited the bloodline of her mother's family and had no possibility of inheriting the Gao family.

If his only remaining son died again, the Gao family would be doomed to be taken over by other branches. How could Gao Yuliang accept this?

Instead of doing this, it would be better to put the Gao family on the gambling table and take another gamble. If they win, everyone will be happy. If they lose, they will just destroy something that will no longer belong to their children in the future.

"Gong Ze, I still have 17 sets of the full body armor you requested in the Gao family's warehouse."

"I will always be grateful for Lord Yuliang's kindness!"

Guo Tu stood up and was about to thank him, but Gao Yuliang stopped him: "Wait, I haven't finished yet."

Guo Tu frowned slightly when he heard this: "Does Lord Yuliang have any other requests?"

"There are only 17 sets of full-body iron armor left in my storehouse, but I still have 120 sets of mixed iron armor, more than 500 sets of leather armor, and three crossbows. You can take them all."

"Mr. Yuliang!"

Guo Tu understood in an instant that Gao Yuliang was going to go all in. After taking out these things, Gao's warehouse would probably be really empty.

"Tell the role model of the Yuan family that I made a bet. Don't let me down."

"I will definitely bring back everything that Lord Yuliang entrusted me with!"
