From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"Run away from the wedding!"

Although Gu Hanying is a young lady from a marquis's family, she is lively by nature and is favored by Gu Tingliang. She doesn't follow the rules and often sneaks out of the mansion, which has happened more than once.

But this time was different. Gu Hanying left a letter in the room, stating that she would not marry Feng Ji.

What else could this be but running away from a marriage?!

Although Gu Tingliang immediately issued a strict order forbidding anyone from spreading or discussing the matter, how could he possibly silence others? For a time, the entire Marquis's residence was abuzz with discussion.

Marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers; how can a daughter have the right to decide her own marriage?

In particular, the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion and the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion have been on good terms for generations. How can the two families continue to interact? Where is the master's face to be?

Everyone thinks Gu Hanying was too willful this time.

But only Chen Shi knew that Gu Hanying was not being willful, but was risking her life to fight back!

She still has hidden dangers from the dragon in her body, and if they are not resolved, she may not live past this year.

Knowing this, Gu Hanying still chose to elope, truly preferring death to marriage!

Gu Hanying's resolute decision was naturally due to her agreement with Chen Shi.

Having figured all this out, Chen Shi felt deeply ashamed and couldn't help but sigh. How could he ever repay such deep affection?

I'm afraid I'll owe Gu Hanying a debt for the rest of my life.

However, Chen Shi didn't have time to think too much for the moment. Together with the others in the mansion, he desperately searched everywhere for Gu Hanying.

But after searching for three or four days, there was still no clue.

Gu Hanying estimated that she had already left the city, and even left the territory of Yongqiu.

And indeed, more than ten days later, news of Gu Hanying arrived.

She was already in the army, having become a captain!

"When did Ying'er break through to the sixth rank?!"

Not only were the bystanders taken aback, but even Gu Tingliang, the father, was greatly surprised.

According to sources, Gu Hanying became a general not because of the power of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, but because of her status as a sixth-rank military officer!

According to the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, a sixth-rank military officer could become a general in the army.

Gu Hanying has actually broken through to the sixth rank, and you have to understand, she is not even twenty years old.

Such talent already places him among the top of the Gu family's generation.

However, there's no time to be happy right now; the most urgent task is to bring Gu Hanying back.

But I'm afraid that won't work.

Gu Hanying's appointment as a general in the army is in accordance with the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, and even the Jing'an Marquis's mansion cannot openly violate this.

As for privately, that's probably not possible either.

If it were any other army, they would more or less give Marquis Jing'an some face and send back this "temporarily willful" fourth young lady.

However, Gu Hanying joined the Azure Phoenix Army.

This is an army composed entirely of women, and the person who assembled this women's army is none other than Princess Daqian!

No matter how much influence the Marquis of Jing'an has, it can never surpass that of the imperial family.

"That rebellious daughter!"

Coming to his senses, Gu Tingliang was so angry that he slapped the table next to him so hard it broke.

Of all those troops, they chose to join the Azure Phoenix Army; it was clearly intentional, they just didn't want to come back.

However, getting angry now won't help; we must find a way to get Gu Hanying back as soon as possible.

With a long face, Gu Tingliang immediately went to see Gu Tingshu to discuss how to handle the situation.

When they arrived at the study, they saw Gu Tingshu sitting there, his face also gloomy.

"Brother, what do you think we should do about this?"

Gu Tingliang sat down and said directly.

"Do it? What's the point of doing it!"

Gu Tingshu snorted coldly and pointed to a document on the table.

Gu Tingshu leaned forward, took the item, and his face instantly turned ashen.

This is Gu Hanying's cursive calligraphy!

When the two families were discussing marriage, the Marquis of Dingyuan's family sent a preliminary letter, and the Marquis of Jing'an's family also sent a preliminary letter in return.

At this moment, the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence actually returned Gu Hanying's draft letter!

"You bastard!"

Gu Tingliang cursed loudly, nearly smashing Gu Tingshu's table in his anger.

What's the difference between this and breaking off an engagement?

The young lady of the prestigious Jing'an Marquis's mansion was actually sent back.

How dare the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence humiliate the Marquis of Jing'an's residence like this!

"I didn't expect that either."

Gu Tingshu was still able to remain calm, but his face had turned extremely gloomy.

Previously, Gu Chenglie was injured by Feng Ji, which enraged Gu Tingshu, who originally wanted to demand an explanation from the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion.

But unexpectedly, Gu Hanying ran away from the wedding shortly afterward.

In this way, they were in the more wrong, and were too embarrassed to ask for any explanation.

But to everyone's surprise, the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion returned Gu Hanying's draft letter directly!

It's true that Gu Hanying ran away from her arranged marriage, but that was ultimately just her personal action and doesn't represent the stance of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion.

The actions of the Marquis of Dingyuan are clearly a direct slap in the face to the Marquis of Jing'an!

How dare they!

Amidst his anger, Gu Tingshu was also filled with doubt.

The Jing'an Marquis's family and the Dingyuan Marquis's family have been friends for generations. Even if Gu Hanying and Feng Ji's marriage does not go through, the two families should not break off relations or become enemies.

In reality, even if Feng Ji broke Gu Chenglie's leg, Gu Tingshu only wanted an explanation from the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion; it wasn't that the two families had become enemies.

There must be some other reason behind what the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion is doing now.

"No matter what, this matter can't be left like this!"

Gu Tingliang snorted coldly, not caring about anything else.

"Um."

Gu Tingshu nodded, agreeing with that thought.

The Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion has already slapped the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion in the face. If they don't react, won't they become a laughing stock of the Great Qian Dynasty? How can the Marquis of Jing'an's lineage maintain its standing in the court?

However, how to react, how to retaliate, and how to control the intensity still need to be considered.

After pondering for a while, Gu Tingshu ordered someone to summon Chen Shi.

"Greetings, Master and Third Master."

Seeing that Gu Tingshu and Gu Tingliang were both there, and their faces were both gloomy, Chen Shi couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"What are your orders, sir?"

"That so-called gang is the one supported by the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion."

"Weak Water Gang".

"Yeah, Weak Water Gang, what a lousy name."

Gu Tingshu snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.

"Have your men uproot and completely wipe out the Weak Water Gang from Yongqiu City!"

"Yes."

Chen Shi was surprised. Why would Gu Tingshu suddenly take action against this small Weak Water Gang?

He hesitated slightly, then asked somewhat tentatively.

"The Weak Water Gang is backed by the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion. If the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion gets involved, what should I do?"

"Anyone who dares to interfere will have their hand chopped off!"

Gu Tingshu let out a heavy snort, a cold smile on his face.

"I'm afraid they won't get involved!"

"Yes, I understand. I'll go and do it."

Chen Shi nodded, then turned and left.

As Chen Shi left the study, he pondered deeply.

Judging from this, Gu Tingshu is heading towards the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence.

Did his previous divisive tactics work?

Or perhaps it was influenced by Gu Hanying's elopement.

It seems the two families have become bitter enemies!

"Very good!"

Regardless of the reason, this means Gu Hanying can no longer marry Feng Ji.

Chen Shi was overjoyed and immediately left.

Before Gu Tingshu changes his mind, wipe out the Ruoshui Gang and make this matter irreversible!
