Fairy, I really have control over you!

Gu Hexuan shook his head sadly: "After spending time with her yesterday, I always felt that Miss Pei was not close to me, and I was even a little bit humble in front of her."

Han Jinniang sneered and said, "Gu Hexuan, aren't you humble in front of me?"

"."

The pale face of the second young master Gu turned red, "Madam, how can this be the same!?"

Just when the couple was arguing.

The door was pushed open.

A leisurely young man's voice came:

"Well, second brother and second sister-in-law, you don't have to go to the birthday banquet of the king of Tianfeng Kingdom."

"I'm going with my mother, Fairy."

Gu Hexuan was startled, and he looked at his wife, then they both looked towards the door.

Then I saw a handsome young man in a green Confucian robe walking in with a smile on his face.

"Fourth brother, why are you here?" Gu Hexuan quickly forced a smile and went over to greet him: "Did you sleep well with Fairy Pei last night?"

"what?"

Gu Zhinan was stunned: "Brother, how did you know that Fairy Pei and I were together last night?"

Han Jinniang, who was standing by, quickly winked at her husband and changed the subject, "Old Four, Second Sister-in-law only has one question for you, answer me first."

"Excuse me, sister-in-law."

"What we heard along the way, about the killing of the Jinyang County Governor and the destruction of the Xiao Family Buddhist Kingdom, were all done by my nephew Pei and you together?"

Han Jinniang asked.

"Yes."

Gu Zhinan said solemnly: "Wanyu and I both have the same ambition - to slay demons and uphold justice!"

"Okay, that's great."

Han Jinniang turned to look at her husband: "Gu Hexuan, I think your fourth brother is more suitable to go to Tianfeng Country than you."

"Yes." Gu Zhinan agreed.

"You are a woman, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Gu Hexuan also stood up and shouted angrily at his wife.

"Gu Hexuan, I just want to ask you one question."

Han Jinniang looked at her husband coldly and said, "If you don't use that damned Burning Life Sword Technique, can you and I defeat the combination of the Fourth Brother and Miss Pei?"

"You are not a Taoist swordsman, so you can't even imagine how strong that girl's swordsmanship is right now. Moreover, she is getting stronger every day, visibly."

"What the second sister-in-law said is only one of the reasons."

Gu Zhinan continued, "In fact, the more you and your staff clean up the three southwestern states in the rear, the more prestige and popularity of the Gu family will increase, and the safer I will be in Tianfeng Country."

"At least, the King of Tianfeng, Ji Shixun, would never dare to harm me openly."

"Are you so sure, kid?" Gu Hexuan frowned.

"Of course." Gu Zhinan said, "Before I go to the banquet this time, I plan to spread the news everywhere, and then go with great fanfare and splendor."

"In addition, there will be a fairy from Miaoyin Pavilion who is worshipped by all Tianfeng citizens and regarded as the savior of the world. She will personally greet me at the ferry."

"With so many people gathered here, if something happens to me, the son of a noble family that protects the country, can Ji Shixun escape responsibility?"

"Second brother, you should know that no matter how much Ji Shixun has done in recent years, he would not dare to challenge the upper echelons of the dynasty openly."

"What's more, Tianfeng Country is his base. While he is conducting demon experiments in the southwest, he is still acting quite wisely in front of the people of Tianfeng, especially the major sects in the country."

"To sum up, I am the best candidate to attend the banquet!"

Finished talking.

The couple next to them looked at each other, both with shocked expressions.

Could it be that after the fourth brother suffered a setback when he went south, his mind has become clearer?

"Fourth brother, this is just your analysis."

Gu Hexuan gritted his teeth and said, "If Ji Shixun really takes the risk."

"Will not."

Gu Zhinan said, "From a certain perspective, the support of the people is more powerful than Miss Pei's protection. I already had a reputation for being a virtuous person in this southwest land. Now I am going to the meeting openly and honestly, and I can be said to have the best of both worlds. If Ji Shixun wants to touch me, he will have to think hard."

"This conclusion does make sense, Fourth Brother. Is it because of the training of my nephew Pei?"

Han Jinniang smiled and looked at her husband beside her: "You are here under the Emperor's order to monitor the southwest. You should do your duty well and accumulate momentum for the Gu family in the court. Only then can we better defeat the mastermind behind the disaster in the southwest. As for the banquet, just leave it to the fourth brother. With you in the rear, holding some leverage over them, Ji Shixun will not dare to act rashly."

"On the contrary, if you brothers go together, that will cause big problems."

"Madam, I understand the truth, but my fourth brother really can't go."

Gu Hexuan shook his head, walked up to his brother, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, fourth brother, let me tell you something."

"Under the constraints of the Human Emperor Covenant, the eight great national guardian families take turns in ruling the country, every six hundred years. Almost every family tries their best to clear the power of other families out of the court, and goes to great lengths to prove their own family's ability to govern the country."

"However, this time, the emperor issued an edict, inviting our Gu family to take over the imperial court. This is the first time in history. Do you know what this means?"

Gu Zhinan pondered and said nothing.

"I'll tell you."

Gu Hexuan narrowed his eyes: "This means that although there are still 20 years before the regime change, the current Bai family emperor, Emperor Wenyuan, seems to want to hand over power to our Gu family in advance, and my father is old, which means..."

"You may very well become—"

"stop!"

Gu Zhinan waved his hands quickly: "Don't talk about this, second brother! I've always been used to living a carefree life. Even if there is a throne, it should be your turn, big brother."

Gu Hexuan smiled and said, "Fourth brother, our Gu family is different from other families. The legitimate sons of other families fight for power, but here your eldest brother and I don't want to get even a little bit of power. We wish you..."

"Me too."

Gu Zhinan smiled bitterly and said, "Besides, what if the Bai family continues to rule the country for another 600 years?"

"No way!"

Gu Hexuan said coldly: "Daxia has been established for more than 2,000 years. All along, everyone has been acting according to the rules set by the Emperor. Of course, the Xiao family, which was extremely powerful 700 years ago, also wanted to win the throne again, and even proposed the absurd proposal of "two emperors". What was the result? All the noble families united to conquer the Xiao family, so that the Xiao family became so desolate. "

"The Xiao family's patriarch you killed in the Buddhist country was in collusion with the demons. If the family had not declined, he probably wouldn't have gone that far."

At this point, Gu Hexuan quickly added: "Of course, since you have done this, don't worry about it. I, your second brother, will take the responsibility for you."

"Brother, you really think too much."

Gu Zhinan shook his head and said, "What is the Human Emperor Convention? The reason why everyone is still willing to abide by it is only because there are no truly powerful people emerging in this era."

What he said was really true.

In the main storyline of the game, Pei Wanyu's biological mother, Luo Wuyan, later became the Empress Dowager Luo, who ruled the country from behind the scenes, won over the eight great families, dominated the world, and forced the Bai family to extend their ruling period for another 30 years.

Later, Sister Pei surpassed her predecessor and directly wiped out my mother and the eight great families. I was the only one in the world and I would be the emperor forever.

Not only that, she also erected a towering stone tablet on the top of a mountain to the north of the Imperial Palace, now close to the Gu family's Beihai clan territory, and ordered all the people in the world to worship it every day.

"By the way, the game didn't say who Sister Pei erected this stone tablet for."

"She was completely heartless and bloodthirsty after that. Who else would she still be obsessed with?"

Thinking of this, Gu Zhinan couldn't help but become curious.

"Okay, second brother."

Putting aside his daydreams, Gu Zhinan looked at his worried second brother with his eyes piercing: "If you really love me as your brother, then please believe me once, and believe Miss Pei once, okay?"

"Besides, there is——"

He went straight to the desk.

He was extremely sharp-eyed and took the birthday card from Tianfeng Kingdom, which was sealed with gold brocade on the table, and put it into his arms.

"I know that among the people of the Imperial Capital, and even within the Gu family, there has always been a so-called ominous omen—"

"And in that prophecy, all four sons of my Gu family were killed, and all the loyal and brave people in the family were executed."

"And now, what I want to tell my second brother and second sister-in-law is."

"In this life, I am invincible."

"Evil cannot prevail over good!"

"Will win!"

He turned his back to his brother and sister-in-law and made an "OK" gesture. While the two were still in a daze, Master Gu pushed the door and ran away with the birthday invitation in his hand!

"My fourth brother looks much better than me."

Looking at his brother's free and resolute back, Gu Hexuan's pale and handsome face showed a loving and gratified smile of an elder brother, "Isn't it, ma'am?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Han Jinniang raised her eyebrows slightly: "My nephew Pei has much better vision than me. He chose such a husband."

"what?"

Gu Hexuan was startled for a moment, and then he realized something belatedly: "Madam, you!"

Tianfeng Kingdom, Miaoyin Pavilion, and the Holy Maiden Palace.

Two days later, seeing that there was only one day left before the king's birthday banquet, Pavilion Master Liu Nanyin once again came to the room of his most beloved disciple.

As always.

Her makeup was applied in an almost seductive way, totally unlike the beauty and seduction of a Taoist leader, and her round oval face was full of anxiety.

The plump, white cleavage of the well-tailored low-cut skirt rose and fell, appearing and disappearing, with the faint smell of sweet sweat steaming from it.

"That's really unreasonable. As a master, why should I have to look at the face of my disciple?"

"Oh, if only Caiwei had a lively mind like me and wasn't so rigid."
