From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

What happened...?

Everyone was taken aback. Gu Tingshu frowned, looked at Zhang Henian, and said in a deep voice again.

"Zhang Henian, I order you to take these people down."

Zhang Henian remained standing still.

"Zhang Henian! You..."

"Uncle, don't waste your energy."

Gu Tingshu was about to reprimand him sternly again when Feng Lin suddenly smiled and said something.

Gu Tingshu's face instantly darkened, and he looked at Feng Lin with a gloomy gaze.

Feng Lin raised his head slightly, a smug look on his face, then let out a soft chuckle.

Zhang Henian

"Your subordinate is here!"

Zhang Henian responded loudly and turned to bow respectfully to Feng Lin.

This is!

Although they had a premonition, everyone was still taken aback when they saw what happened.

Zhang Henian submitted to Feng Lin, but he actually betrayed him and sided with the Marquis of Dingyuan!

"Zhang Henian!"

Gu Tingshu's eyes widened, bloodshot with rage, as he glared at Zhang Henian and roared.

"The Marquis of Jing'an's mansion has treated you well, yet you dare to rebel!"

"Not thin?"

Zhang Henian lowered his head and sneered, then turned to Gu Tingshu, a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"I once risked my life for the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, but I offended a member of the Gu family, and was thus transferred to guard this remote mountain area. Is this what you call treating me well?"

"In terms of martial arts skills and talent, in what way am I inferior to others? Everyone else has risen step by step, while I have remained stuck at the rank of Qianzong, wasting my years here on Yongqiu Mountain. Is this what you call treating me well?"

"I have submitted memorials to Your Excellency several times, hoping to achieve merit and establish a career, but Your Excellency has ignored them all. This shows that Your Excellency has treated me well!"

By the end, Zhang Henian was practically screaming, and the resentment in his eyes turned into anger.

Upon hearing Zhang Henian's accusations, Gu Tingshu's face darkened, and he was speechless for a moment.

After a moment, Gu Tingshu took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Henian.

"I am usually very busy with official duties, and I may inevitably overlook some things. If you have any complaints or opinions, you are welcome to tell me. My Jing'an Marquis's Mansion has always been based on merit."

Gu Tingshu's voice softened considerably as he continued.

"You have served under the Marquis of Jing'an for many years. Even if you haven't made any great contributions, you have certainly worked hard. So, once this matter is settled, I will petition the court to promote your rank and position and give you another important post."

"Even if you didn't achieve anything, you still put in the effort? Ha, Your Excellency certainly knows how to talk."

Zhang Henian shook his head, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

"No need. I have already decided to follow Marquis Dingyuan from now on."

"you!"

"Uncle, you can't force a relationship to be happy. Don't you even understand that?"

Feng Lin spoke again, a smug smile on his face.

"Now that Zhang Henian has joined my ranks, I will take care of his future."

"Feng Lin, how dare you!"

"Haha! I've always been very bold, but you and my father were both wrong about me before."

Feng Lin's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he stared at Gu Tingshu with a sinister expression.

"Uncle, today I will show you the real me."

"...What are you going to do?"

"What else could we be doing? Didn't we come to Yongqiu Mountain to capture the Qilin?"

Feng Ji remained calm, then turned to Zhang Henian and gave a cold shout.

"Take down everyone in the Jing'an Marquis's residence."

"yes!"

Zhang Henian responded and led his men to approach the group from the Marquis of Jing'an's residence.

"You bastard!"

Gu Tingshu cursed loudly, his brows furrowed, and then suddenly turned to Fufeng Society.

"The Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion is currently very powerful; only by joining forces can we possibly seize the Qilin!"

"Join forces?"

The elder of the Fufeng Association looked at Gu Tingshu, smiled, and nodded.

"What Marquis Jing'an said is absolutely right."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elders of the Fufeng Association led their men to rush up, but instead of heading towards the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence, they went straight for Gu Tingshu!

"What do you want?"

Gu Tingshu's eyes widened, and he revealed his true form with a loud shout.

"The Qilin can be spared, but the Marquis of Jing'an must be killed."

The elder of the Fufeng Association let out a cold shout and struck directly with his palm.

Gu Tingshu's expression changed drastically once again.

Could it be that Fu Feng's claim of capturing the Qilin was a ruse, and his real target was actually him?

The Fufeng Society members besieged Gu Tingshu, and the Jing'an Marquis's troops were about to come to his aid.

"Zhang Henian, what are you standing there for? Quickly take down all of these people."

Just then, Feng Lin shouted again.

Zhang Henian was taken aback and looked at Feng Lin in surprise.

In the current situation, if the people from the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion were captured, wouldn't Gu Tingshu be in danger?

Knowing this, Feng Lin still gave the order.

Thinking of this, Zhang Henian's expression changed drastically once again.

"Zhang Henian, didn't you hear my order?"

Feng Lin gave a stern rebuke, his voice leaving no room for argument.

"...This subordinate obeys."

Zhang Henian hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and accepted the order.

He then led his men to block the troops of the Marquis of Jing'an's residence.

Although he was unaware of this beforehand, he had already gone this far and there was no turning back.

"Feng Lin!"

Gu Tingshu, who was facing an attack from the Fufeng Society, finally showed a hint of panic on his face.

"How dare you conspire with the evil people of the Fufeng Society to harm me!"

"Uncle, what are you saying? I'm just here to capture the Qilin. If anything happens to you, Uncle, or if you're harmed by some thief, it has nothing to do with me."

Feng Lin smiled slightly, looking completely unconcerned.

On the other side, Feng Ji, who was limp from the side effects of the medication, sat on the ground, staring in disbelief at the scene before him.

In his mind, his third brother was a good-for-nothing, yet this good-for-nothing actually inherited the title. Even so, he never took Feng Lin seriously.

But to everyone's surprise, Feng Lin had this side to him; he actually wanted to kill Marquis Jing'an!

Even if Feng Ji considered himself crazy, he would never dare to do such a thing.

For a moment, Feng Ji looked at Feng Lin and couldn't help but feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

Feng Lin glanced at Feng Ji, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips, and ignored him.

"How could this happen!"

Meanwhile, Chen Shi, who had been watching silently from the sidelines, was also filled with shock.

Seeing Zhang Henian arrive with his men, they thought the matter was settled, but they never expected the situation to take such a dramatic turn.

"Oops!"

Judging from the situation on the field, it is clear that Feng Lin and Fu Feng are secretly colluding to kill Gu Tingshu!

As for how they colluded and why they were determined to kill Gu Tingshu, there was no time to think about that now.

Chen Shi frowned deeply, his expression extremely grave.

He didn't care whether Gu Tingshu lived or died, but if Gu Tingshu died, his situation would be dangerous.

After Gu Tingshu's death, it is very likely that Gu Chenglie will inherit the title.

Given the grudge between Gu Chenglie and Chen Shi, how could he possibly let Chen Shi go!

Even if it wasn't Gu Chenglie, but Gu Chengxun who inherited the title of Marquis of Jing'an.

As the saying goes, a new emperor brings a new court, and Chen Shi, this former "minister," will inevitably have to step down. At that time, without the protection of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion, Gu Chenglie, Feng Lin, or even Feng Ji could easily put him to death.

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.

With Gu Tingshu dead, Chen Shi was like a bird egg that had fallen to the ground and shattered.

"No, Gu Tingshu absolutely cannot die."

Thinking of this, Chen Shi's gaze darkened; at the very least, Gu Tingshu could not die now.

But given his abilities, how could he possibly save Gu Tingshu under these circumstances?
