Gu Chengfeng felt like his heart had suffered a hundred thousand critical hits, and even spewing blood couldn't alleviate the symptoms. He wished he could tear himself apart, with liver and brains scattered all over!
He seriously ant it!
He wanted to rub himself against the ground to check if this was real. His sister and his grandfather had beco sworn brothers... What did that make him then?
She said she ca to the borderlands to save her sworn brother... Was she talking about his grandfather?
She really had a sworn brother!
Wait, she also ntioned so fool.
Gu Chengfeng choked. Terrified, he looked at his right arm, which he couldn't move, and then at Tang Yueshan, whose left leg was immobile.
The fool must be Tang Yueshan!
No room for argunt!
Tang Yueshan looked at Gu Chengfeng, his brows furrowed.
Why is this brat looking at so strangely?!
anwhile, in the adjacent room, Gu Changqing, witnessing the scene of the two people recognizing each other, was also on the verge of losing his composure.
He had known about this incident—when Old Marquis got completely drunk and beca sworn brothers with Gu Jiao, he and Gu Yan were in the adjacent room, and he was the one who helped the unconscious Old Marquis onto his carriage back ho.
Even so, he had thought it was just a playful act of a granddaughter. He had never expected this girl to get addicted to the play, recognizing their grandfather as her sworn brother even here in the borderlands!
Too mischievous...
Gu Changqing looked at his grandfather and Gu Jiao with a complicated expression. One dared to call and the other dared to respond.
Old Marquis was so excited to have reunited with his “little brother” that from the mont he saw Gu Jiao, there was no room for others in his eyes, and Gu Chengfeng, who was standing by, was utterly ignored!
Feeling disregarded by both his eldest brother and now his grandfather, Gu Chengfeng complained internally. He felt bitter in his heart, but he refused to say a word!
Afterward, Gu Jiao and Old Marquis chatted away as if no one else was present.
Old Marquis wiped away his tears, and then asked with contentnt and emotion, "Little brother, how did you end up here at the borderlands?"
Gu Jiao took out her notebook, found a writing brush and swiftly wrote: ‘I ca to rescue you.’
Old Marquis felt a surge of emotions, tears welling up in his eyes once again. His little brother was indeed incredibly loyal! He vowed to rember this favor forever, never to forget it!
Suddenly, a vague mory surfaced in his mind.
He rembered being thrown into a wine cellar with his limbs broken by the remnants of the previous dynasty in Lingguan City. It seed like soone had co to rescue him.
"Was it you? Little brother? Did you rescue from Lingguan City?" There seed to be sothing else, but he couldn't recall.
Nevermind, things that couldn't be rembered were usually not important!
Gu Chengfeng: Grandfather, what about ! What about ! I went to save you too! Argh! Why do you only rember that stinky girl!
Gu Chengfeng was going crazy!
"It seems like we went to soone's house? Or was it a cave?" Old Marquis tried hard to search his mory. He felt like there was sothing more in his mory, but he still couldn't recall it.
Tang Yueshan: Well, even this Supre Commander is forgotten! I even carried you from the cabin all the way into a cave, and my fingers got frostbite from carrying you!
"My injuries... were they treated by you, little brother?" Old Marquis' gratitude and excitent were indescribable. He patted Gu Jiao's hand and choked up, "One of the two things I've done right in my life was establishing the Gu Family Army, and the other was eting you, little brother."
Gu Jiao squeezed his hand, nodding affectionately and solemnly!
Sworn brothers for life!
After that, Old Marquis also inquired about Gu Jiao's injuries. Learning that Gu Jiao was unhard, he finally felt relieved.
Gu Chengfeng: Hold on, when eldest brother ca in just now, you didn't even ask if he was injured!
While Old Marquis and Gu Jiao were chatting, new injured soldiers arrived in the courtyard. One of them accidentally fell from the sickbed, causing a secondary wound.
Gu Jiao swiftly wrote in her notebook: ‘I'll go take a look. I'll co talk to you later.’
Old Marquis nodded, "Little brother, go ahead and attend to your tasks."
His little brother was truly amazing, not only skilled in martial arts but also in dicine. The true embodint of bravery, skillful hands, and compassionate heart!
Gu Jiao left the room.
Gu Chengfeng straightened up, feeling it was finally his turn!
He wanted his grandfather to see that he too was a valiant and brave lad defending the borders, and the wounds on his body were his most honorable dals!
He flashed a smile, "Grandfather!"
"Hoo~ Hoo~"
The response he received was a rhythmic series of snores.
Gu Chengfeng whose smile gradually froze: "..."
……
After the wooden wall collapsed, Advisor Hu of the Prefect's Mansion quickly arranged for a landscape screen to be brought in.
Old Marquis had fallen asleep, so he could only inform Tang Yueshan and the two brothers of the Gu Family in the other room, "Well, there's currently no carpenter available. Let’s use this screen to separate the spaces for the ti being."
Everyone was silent.
Advisor Hu: Er... Is soone not satisfied with this arrangent?
But he wasn't lying. All the carpenters in the city were conscripted to make and repair military equipnt. There really was nobody available to repair the wall!
"Place it here." Gu Changqing said.
"Yes, yes!" Advisor Hu had the floor cleaned up and personally arranged the screen, "This humble one shall take his leave then."
"Mm." Gu Changqing nodded faintly.
Advisor Hu left feeling relieved.
Was it an illusion?
Why did the atmosphere in the room feel sowhat strange?
Tang Yueshan couldn't move his leg, so he lay back on the bed. Gu Chengfeng's leg was fine, but his arm was hurt. He was ordered by Gu Changqing to lie back on his own bed as well.
It was true that the atmosphere in the room at this mont was strange, not because of Gu Jiao and Old Marquis recognizing each other as sworn brothers, but because Gu Changqing and Gu Chengfeng both realized that Tang Yueshan had witnessed and heard everything that had happened today.
Including their mother's identity as a spy.
What did this an?
It ant that if Tang Yueshan leaked the information, it would imdiately overturn the entire situation of the war.
The Gu Family Army wouldn’t fight for spies from the previous dynasty. If they find out that Gu Changqing was a descendant of a spy of the previous dynasty, they would rebel.
Gu Changqing said to Gu Chengfeng, “From now on, keep an eye on him. Don't let him have contact with anyone. I'll talk to JiaoJiao. From now on, all the physicians in this courtyard will be replaced with physicians from the Miraculous Hands Hall."
Gu Chengfeng sneered, "No need. That girl is going to mute him with poison!"
Gu Changqing paused and said, "Even if she mute him, he can still write."
Gu Chengfeng casually said, "Oh, then tell that girl later to get rid of his hands as well, in a way that’s not obvious."
Tang Yueshan's heart pounded!
How can you siblings be so ruthless?!
Also, when did I say I would leak the information?
Am I, Tang Yueshan, soone who disregards the overall situation?!
Could I shake the morale and military spirit of the soldiers on the border for a bit of credit!?
Damn it, I was planning to return triumphantly to the capital and quietly report the three of you as spies to Empress Dowager Zhuang and the Emperor!
Gu Changqing thought for a mont, then sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll handle this myself. I don't want to dirty JiaoJiao's hands."
He swiftly pulled out a dagger and approached Tang Yueshan.
Tang Yueshan's body shuddered!
Right at this mont, Gu Jiao finished the operation and returned to the room.
Tang Yueshan almost instinctively reached out to her, "Do you still need a lil’ bro?”
