Chapter 124
It was heard that Duke Huai had spoken, and no matter who it was, no matter who it was, no matter who it was.

Duke Huai's face must be given.

No matter what, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all in awe of King Huai.

Soon, the early dynasty ended, and all civil and military officials retreated one by one.

In the early court, there were no people from the Jingtian Division and the Der Spiegel Division. After all, these two institutions are relatively special. To be honest, there are no official positions in the court. Will not go up.

Among them, Uncle Dingyuan, Uncle Wu, Weibo and several nobles walked together, their faces were very gloomy.

Because, in the battle of Xun'an County, several of their sons died, how could they look good?
After retreating from the imperial court, Uncle Dingyuan gathered together, each of them looked extremely ugly.

"Huang Xiu is a waste!" Uncle Dingyuan said angrily.

Although he had many wives and concubines, he only had one son, Liang Xu. Just like Ping Xihou had for Cao Zhen, he had high hopes for Liang Xu.

Now that Liang Xu is dead, Uncle Dingyuan feels that his life is gloomy. Can the huge family property be left to his daughter?
Wu Weibo's complexion is not much better, although he not only has Zhuo Zhibin as his heir, but Zhuo Zhibin is his eldest son, who has been trained for so many years, if he says nothing, he will be gone, how could he feel better?

The same is true for the rest of the nobles, they all hated Huang Xiu very much.

For Cao Zhen, they felt nothing. Although Cao Zhen proposed this experience, but after all, Cao Zhen himself died, so what else could they blame?
What's more, behind Cao Zhen is the Marquis of Pingxi, such a powerful Marquis, is not something that Uncle Dingyuan can afford to offend.

Even Duke Liang couldn't afford to offend Marquis Pingxi.

"When Huang Xiu comes back, I must kill that bastard!" Wu Weibo said bitterly.

"Huang Xiu is such a waste, he can't do such a thing well, and that Chen Yu really doesn't pay attention to us, and dares to let our sons rush to the front line!" The group of nobles started Chen Yu was accused.

Of course, they could only talk, and they would never do this in front of Chen Yu.

At this time, a servant suddenly came to report that it was Cao Zhen's guard who came to visit.

Uncle Dingyuan and the others looked at each other, but still asked his servants to bring him in.

The person who came was Cao Zhen's personal bodyguard, Cao Ying.

After Cao Ying heard the news of Cao Zhen's death, he was terrified and immediately sent the news to Marquis Pingxi. After learning about the situation, he rushed back to Tiandu as quickly as possible. In a rage, he planned to kill Gu The Shen family was buried with Cao Zhen.

But later, Ping Xihou's summons stopped him, so he found Uncle Dingyuan and the others, intending to join forces with them to deal with Gu Chen.

"Your Excellency?" Uncle Dingyuan and the others looked at Cao Ying suspiciously, they had never seen Cao Ying before.

"I'm the personal guard of the Young Lord." Cao Ying said sullenly.

"I don't know what is your Excellency coming here?" After Cao Ying showed his token to prove his identity, Uncle Ding Yuan and the others asked.

"I'm here to tell you that the deaths of Young Master, Liang Xu, and Zhuo Zhibin are related to Gu Chen!" Cao Ying said in a deep voice.

"what?!"

Hearing this, Uncle Dingyuan and Uncle Wuwei immediately changed their expressions.

The two frowned, looked at Cao Ying, and said, "Your Excellency's words are true. Don't deceive us. Our descendant was killed by a Demon Sect warrior. Why did your Excellency say that it was related to Gu Chen?"

Cao Ying said with a cold face: "Little Marquis, Liang Xu and Zhuo Zhibin once conspired to kill Gu Chen. You must know the grievances between them."

Uncle Dingyuan and Uncle Wuwei nodded, they could tell when they were in Liangguo's mansion.

"But it's not enough to explain that Gu Chen killed them?" Ding Yuanbo asked with a frown.

The news came back very clearly that Cao Zhen, Liang Xu, and Zhuo Zhibin were all beheaded by Demon Sect warriors. Many people saw it under the eyes of everyone. This cannot be faked, after all, Huang Xiu was there at the time.

Cao Ying said with a dark face: "But, you know, they asked Gu Chen for help at that time. With Gu Chen's strength, if he was willing to save people, how could they die?"

Hearing this, Ding Yuanbo and Wu Weibo's eyes froze immediately. They didn't know this news, and it seemed that Chen Yu deliberately concealed it.

What's more, the two of them thought it was the same. With Gu Chen's strength, he could resist nearly a thousand warriors from the Demon Cult. At that time, there were only four warriors from the Demon Cult. How could they not be able to save Cao Zhen and the others?

"Your Excellency, you mean that Gu Chen, relying on the previous grievances, deliberately stood by and tried to murder my son?" Ding Yuanbo's eyes turned cold.

"That's right. I was ordered by the Marquis to investigate the cause of the young Marquis' death. I'm sure Gu Chen must be involved!" Cao Ying said firmly.

There was coldness in the eyes of Uncle Dingyuan and Uncle Wuwei, if that was the case, then they would definitely not let Gu Chen go.

They felt that Gu Chen's mind was too gloomy, because of some grievances, he actually used this method to murder their heirs.

The two of them never thought that all the causes had nothing to do with Gu Chen, it was Cao Zhen and the others who first troubled Gu Chen, and they were also the ones who first wanted to kill Gu Chen.

The words about Cao Zhen and the others trying to kill Gu Chen were automatically ignored by Uncle Dingyuan and the others.

What's more, even if that's the case, Liang Xu and Zhuo Zhibin are their sons, can they lean towards Gu Chen instead of their own son?
This is obviously impossible.

At this time, a nobleman frowned and said, "However, Duke Huai and the crown prince just decided to make Gu Chen a viscount today, and he is now famous because of the battle in Xun'an County. Are you ready to deal with him?"

"What, he was also made a viscount?!" Cao Ying heard that, a strong jealousy flashed in his eyes.

It was all Gu Chen's fault that caused Cao Zhen's death. Cao Ying knew that even if he could return to the border alive, he would not be reused in this life.

Even, in the end, he couldn't escape death, and Ping Xihou had a great possibility to make him commit suicide.

Regardless of whether Cao Zhen's death was related to Gu Chen, Cao Ying decided so. He couldn't make Ping Xihou think that his guards were unfavorable. He had to put most of the responsibility on Gu Chen and let Ping Xihou have a catharsis. The place.

Otherwise, it would be Cao Ying himself who bears Marquis Pingxi's anger. He is well aware of Marquis Pingxi's horror.

Even if he died, Cao Ying would hold Gu Chen as his back. After all, if it wasn't for Gu Chen, he wouldn't have left Cao Zhen's side.

Therefore, Cao Ying blamed everything on Gu Chen.

When Uncle Dingyuan and Uncle Wuwei heard Cao Ying's remarks, they also became suspicious. They originally had resentment towards Chen Yu and Gu Chen, but now they are famous in Tiandu, and Gu Chen has been conferred a title , They didn't say anything in court.

Uncle Dingyuan said with a cold face: "After this little bastard is made a noble, he is no longer a commoner, and his status has become as honorable as us."

Wu Weibo said: "In this way, it will not be so easy to deal with him. How about we prevent him from being ennobled, find Duke Huai and the crown prince now, and tell them the situation?"

"Impossible." Uncle Dingyuan stopped Uncle Wu Wei, and said: "After all, the two of us were not at the scene, what we said was nothing, and Duke Huai and the crown prince have already ordered, so we can't refute His Highness's face until Huang Xiu comes back. , I'll ask him personally, if it's really that Gu Chen is dying, even if I don't want this title, I will let him be buried with my son!"

Wu Weibo nodded. Regarding Cao Ying's words, they believed seven points and kept three points. Who knows if Cao Ying wants to use them as a knife.

As for the specific situation, as Ding Yuanbo said, we still need to wait for Huang Xiu to come back and inquire about it before making a decision.

After that, they discussed the situation again for a long time.

……

Seven days later, Chen Yu's three commanders returned to Tiandu with Gu Chen and the others.

The reason why they returned to Tiandu so late was that after repelling the Demon Sect warriors, in order to prevent them from making a comeback, everyone spent a few days resting in the county. Watching Gu Chen and the others leave.

After returning to Tiandu, a group of people first returned to Jingtiansi. Chen Yu, Deng Zian and Cui Yu personally reported the relevant situation to Jingtiansi and the high-level officials of the imperial court.

At the same time, they also learned that the rewards they personally received were nothing more than some silver and silk and satin from the imperial court, while Jing Tiansi gave them corresponding merits from within.

As for the first-tier and second-tier inspectors, the same is true, except for Gu Chen, who was not mentioned.

This suddenly made everyone a little strange, Xu Qing, Song Yu and Wang Yan looked at Chen Yu with puzzled faces, because it was Chen Yu who announced the news to them.

"Boss, where's Gu Chen's?" Song Yu asked.

Chen Yu smiled mysteriously, and said to Gu Chen, "You'll know when you get home."

When Gu Chen saw this, he was immediately confused, but he didn't say much. He had indeed been away from home for a long time, so it could be said that the whole family of the second uncle was very worried during this time.

In fact, Gu Chen really didn't care much about the imperial court's rewards. After all, to him, no amount of money was of much use. What he needed could be obtained through meritorious service in Jingtian Division.

"Okay, let's break up, you've been away from home for so long, are you all homesick?" Chen Yu gave them a complete three-day vacation with an order.

Even though they had been recuperating in the county for a few days, when they returned to Tiandu, everyone still felt tired, even Gu Chen.

Soon, everyone dispersed, and after making an appointment with Xu Qing, Song Yu and Wang Yan to find a time to drink tomorrow, Gu Chen rushed to the outer city and returned to the Gu residence.

There is still some distance between the inner city and the outer city. At this moment, Gu Chen once again had the idea of ​​buying a house in the inner city, so that he would not have to travel back and forth between the inner city and the outer city.

Back at Gu's mansion, Zhang Bo, the concierge, was overjoyed when he saw Gu Chen, and shouted loudly: "Da Lang is back, Da Lang is back!"

Hearing this, everyone in the Gu mansion rushed out, as if they knew that Gu Chen was going home today, even Gu Chengfeng was there.

"Da Lang, you're finally back!" Seeing that Gu Chen was safe and sound, Gu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He doesn't care how strong Gu Chen is, as long as Gu Chen is safe every time he goes on a mission.

"Second uncle, aunt, Qingyan, I'm back." Seeing his relatives, Gu Chen also had a deep smile on his face.

The tight string in my heart finally relaxed.

Everyone walked towards the courtyard, at this moment, the servant girl Xiaoyu suddenly asked: "Da Lang, did you really kill 10,000+ Demon Sect warriors in Xun'an County with one sword?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen was startled, what is this?
Gu Qingyan was slim and graceful, her beautiful eyes looked bright, she gave Xiaoyu a white look, and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, big brother clearly killed tens of thousands of Demon Sect warriors with one sword."

Seeing the same thing with his cousin, Gu Chen became even more confused. He was in a hurry to go home, so he never cared about the comments of the people in Tiandu, and didn't know about it.

Gu Chengfeng looked at his daughter with a dark face, and said: "Qingyan, what are you talking about, don't believe the storytellers in the restaurant, how could Dalang kill so many people by himself, he is exhausted."

When Gu Qingyan heard the words, she immediately stuck out her tongue, looking extremely delicate.

At this time, Gu Chengfeng said proudly: "Da Lang is obviously chasing souls with one sword, one person with one sword, beheading ten thousand enemies."

"???"

Gu Chen's face was full of question marks, he didn't know what his second uncle was talking about, why were they so outrageous?
At this time, a sharp voice suddenly came from the gate of Gu's residence: "The imperial decree has arrived!"

Gu Chen and his second uncle's family immediately changed their expressions, and they looked at each other in a daze, why did the imperial decree come to the Gu family?

Gu Chen belonged to Jing Tiansi, and Gu Chengfeng was the imperial sword guard. No matter how you look at it, the two of them don't seem to be able to be ordered.

"Let's go quickly." At this moment, Xu Qing'e gave them a push.

Afterwards, the members of the Gu family hurried out of the courtyard again, and saw the head of internal affairs holding a golden imperial decree, and a group of guards following behind.

Seeing that the Lord had arrived, the eunuch held the imperial decree in his hand, and walked slowly in front of Gu Chen's family, spread the imperial decree, and read aloud: "Gu Chen, the second-rank inspector of Jingtian Division, received the decree."

When everyone heard the words, they immediately turned their eyes to Gu Chen.
