Chapter 353 This decision is correct
Yue Lingzhi thought for a while, and Gu Zheng's guess was quite reasonable.

"So, the person who told General Ouyang the secret was not sent by Longyan, but someone pretended to be a disciple of Longtang?"

Gu Zheng nodded. He couldn't figure out who it was.

"Could it be the lord? He can hide himself better by revealing your identities."

Gu Zheng shook his head: "I can't be sure, and I can't rule it out."

"It's a bit complicated, I'm afraid it will hurt you."

Gu Zheng struggled in his heart for a long time before he said the latter sentence.

He looked at Yue Lingzhi worriedly, afraid that she would nod and say that she would leave them, and he was also worried that the development of the matter would be out of his control.

Yue Lingzhi looked at him firmly: "You said that as long as you are here, you can protect us."

At this moment, she knew to cheer him up.

He is still a young man with no foundation, let alone the power to fight against the imperial court, so he is definitely worried.

Even grown men dare not say that they are 100% sure to protect them when encountering such a thing.

Besides, when he said that, there was no fear in his expression, he was just worried that she would be hurt.

Gu Zheng's eyes sparkled, and he was instantly full of confidence. He gently pulled Yue Lingzhi into his arms and hugged her.

"You are right! I will definitely protect you!"

He knew that Yue Lingzhi had space, and she could hide there if she had to, but he swore that she would never go to that point!

He wouldn't let Yue Lingzhi be a coward, neither would he and his siblings!

Yue Lingzhi didn't push Gu Zheng away, but asked him: "Then what are you going to do?"

Protecting them well is not just a matter of saying a word, nor is it a last resort to hide them all in her space.

If Gu Zheng only hoped to hide in her space for refuge, she might look down on him.

Gu Zheng let her go, and said his plan seriously.

"First, regardless of who wants to expose our life experience and what the purpose is, we must first determine that our great-grandfather was not guilty of crimes when he left the palace. After he left the palace, he lived in seclusion in Gujia Village. We have never done anything illegal, so we are not guilty!"

"Secondly, I will find a way to let the world know that our family is not guilty, and use the pressure of public opinion to make the imperial court have no reason to send troops to kill us."

"Thirdly, the grandfather of the present emperor forced the palace back then, and claimed that the imperial decree he read must be false. We have the last emperor's decree in our hands, and the throne was passed on to my great-grandfather."

"I can also threaten the emperor with the imperial edict. If he insists on sending people to kill us, I will make the contents of the imperial edict public."

Yue Lingzhi asked strangely: "Aren't you going to use those tokens?"

Gu Zheng said: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want to take them out. Even if I take them out, I only want to protect your lives, and I will never ask those people to help me snatch the throne!"

These words moved Yue Lingzhi.

Gu Zheng is by no means a cowardly and incompetent person. He decided not to snatch the throne. He must have been influenced by his great-grandfather. He didn't want to see so many innocent people die for the sake of the throne, and even flow into rivers of blood.

"You have already thought about it from the beginning, we don't want the gold mine in Luokang Mountain, we would rather give it to the imperial court. This can show that you don't know your own background, and you don't have any intention of snatching the throne?"

Gu Zheng nodded: "Well, in fact, this is also your decision. Even without the secret of my life experience, this decision is correct."
