Please, marry a white snake wife. It’s super cool.

Lan Tai’s idea was indeed good when facing the Yan Wang’s troops that surrounded him.

Only by holding Gu Gaoxu, whose martial arts skills have been completely disabled, hostage can he use this as a threat to escape safely.

Little did they know that although Gu Gaoxu no longer had martial arts skills, he still had hot weapons.

Gu Gaoxu held a pistol that looked like a musket but was more refined than it, and pointed the gun at Lan Tai's forehead.

This pistol is called a Browning pistol, which was given to Gu Gaoxu by Lu Yuan when he left the Lu Mansion.

Lu Yuan had already told him how to use it specifically.

This Browning pistol is small in size, can fire bullets continuously, and can be hidden at the waist without anyone knowing.

Although Lan Tai had never seen one, he knew about muskets.

Lan Tai lifted the door curtain with his gun and said motionlessly: "Prince Gu, how could you have such a thing?"

Muskets, armor, and red cannons are all weapons controlled by the imperial court, and carrying them without permission is a serious crime!
As for the fact that Prince Yan's troops were equipped with guns and artillery, it was with the permission of the emperor. Prince Yan Gu Di specially requested the emperor to mobilize them when he attacked the northern orcs.

Later, these guns and cannons remained in the hands of Prince of Yan, Gu Di, and Emperor Gu Yuanzhang tacitly allowed Prince of Yan's army to be equipped with these firearms.

In addition, Lu Yuan and Gu Gaoxu opened a factory in Yandu, one of the workshops of which secretly produced guns and cannons, which were then equipped in the Yanwang army.

The troops of Prince Yan were not only brave in battle, but also had strict military discipline and were never ostentatious.

Even the Embroidered Uniform Guards were unable to find out how many firearms the Prince of Yan's troops were equipped with.

Gu Gaoxu said disdainfully: "It's for saving your life, do I need to tell you?"

"It seems that Prince Gu doesn't believe us!" Lan Tai continued speaking while picking up the door curtain.

"Trust you? I will die miserably!" Gu Gaoxu felt extremely satisfied.

Lan Tai lowered the curtain, jumped sideways, and jumped out of the carriage.

Gu Gaoxu fired three shots at the car curtain, leaving only three bullet holes.

Gu Gaoxu slapped his thigh with the Browning pistol in his hand and cursed: "Damn it, I was careless!"

With a "bang", the Browning pistol went off and the bullet pierced the carriage.

There were no casualties.

Gu Gaoxu quickly turned off the safety of the Browning pistol and said with luck: "Fortunately, the muzzle of the gun was not pointed at me, otherwise what would I do if it shot my bird away?"

Gu Gaoxu was still counting on it to carry on the family line.

Lan Tai jumped onto the military horse and commanded the cavalry to break out to the rear.

Lan Tai led the cavalry into the next encirclement.

Dozens of people who had been standing not far in front of the carriage and had not moved for a long time began to walk towards Gu Gaoxu.

The remaining three Jinyiwei leaned against the carriage and said, "Back off! Everyone, back off!"

Gu Gaoxu's voice came from the carriage: "Let them come over!"

Dozens of people put away their weapons and came to the carriage.

A burly man shouted, "Brother Liu Wu, the guard of the Lu Mansion in Taining City, greets Prince Gu!"

"Come in and answer the question!" Gu Gaoxu said while hiding in the carriage.

Gu Gaoxu, who had lost all his martial arts skills, stayed in the carriage and refused to go out. How unlucky it would be if he was hit by a stray arrow!
Just as Liu Wu Ge took a step forward, three embroidered spring swords appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

Brother Liu Wu understood what he meant and smiled.

Liu Wu Ge took off the big sword from his waist and handed it to another guard, then got on Gu Gaoxu's carriage.

"Sit down! You're welcome!" Gu Gaoxu pointed to the empty seat on the other side of the carriage.

In the carriage, Gu Gaoxu, with a smile on his face, leaned over to look at Brother Liu Wu and praised him repeatedly:
"Fifth brother, your master is really amazing. How did Brother Lu know that Lan Tai would rebel and even arranged for you to wait here?"

"Could it be that Brother Lu is really good at fortune-telling? Is he better than the official from the Imperial Observatory?"

Brother Liu Wu said respectfully: "Prince Gu, I don't know, I am just following your orders!"

Gu Gaoxu sat up and asked, "Brother Lu, do you have any other plans?"

"The boss said to bring Doctor Li from Taining City and ask you to be taken back to the imperial city for interrogation!" said Liu Wu Ge.

"Boss?" Gu Gaoxu asked.

"Yeah!" Brother Liu Wu nodded seriously.

"That's a fresh word. Isn't this Doctor Li the one who treats us? Okay! Take it with you!" Gu Gaoxu put away the Browning pistol.

Doctor Li from Taining City is also one of the witnesses, keep him!

Gu Gaoxu opened the curtains, took a look at the fight outside, and said, "Brother Lu actually hid this from us and even transferred the three guards of Yanshan here."

This is what Lu Yuan meant by reassurance!

The Three Guards of Yanshan that Gu Gaoxu mentioned were none other than his father Gu Di’s personal soldiers.

The Three Guards of Yanshan were Yanshan Vanguard, Yanshan Left Guard and Yanshan Right Guard, and they were the most powerful troops under the command of Yan Wang Gu Di.

The total number of the Three Guards of Yanshan is about 10,000. The number of people dispatched this time is estimated to be several hundred, and they are the elite among the elite.

Gu Gaoxu was also very curious about how Lu Yuan was able to mobilize his father's three Yanshan guards.

You know, let alone Gu Gaoxu, even without the order from Prince of Yan Gu Di, even Prince of Yan's son Gu Gaochi could not mobilize a single soldier from the Three Guards of Yanshan.

What Gu Gaoxu couldn't understand the most was how his father managed to lead the Three Guards of Yanshan through the fiefs of the King of Jin and the King of Lu and straight to this place.

All troop movements were under the supervision of the Imperial Guard.

Prince of Yan, Gu Di, was a strict father, not a mediocre man.

After Lu Yuan made a phone call, Prince of Yan Gu Di, after careful consideration, decided to follow Lu Yuan's instructions and dispatched the three guards of Yanshan to ambush here.

In order to avoid alerting the rebels in the court, Prince of Yan, Gu Di, used all his skills to ambush the Three Guards of Yanshan here silently.

In the carriage, Gu Gaoxu chatted with Liu Wuge, the guard of Lu Mansion, for a while and heard the noise outside the carriage.

"Wang Ping, deputy commander of the Yanshan Vanguard."

"Zhang Deyi, deputy commander of the Yanshan Left Guard."

"Li Xiao, Deputy Commander of the Yanshan Right Guard"

The soldiers of the Three Guards of Yanshan followed the three generals and shouted loudly, "Greetings to the second son of the King of Yan!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Gaoxu lifted the carriage curtain, jumped off the carriage, and quickly pulled up the deputy commander of the Yanshan Three Guards, saying, "Three generals, thank you for your rescue!"

Liu Wu Ge followed Gu Gaoxu closely, quietly got off the carriage and stood behind him.

"Prince, what are you talking about? This is what we should do." The three generals answered in unison.

Gu Gaoxu knew in his heart that the three commanders initially called him "the second son of Prince of Yan" instead of "Prince of the County".

It's all for my dad's sake.

Gu Gaoxu's respect for his father increased a little bit. He didn't expect that all the deputy commanders of the three guards of Yanshan were transferred here.

The deputy commander is always the second in command!
My dad values ​​me so much!
Could it be that "The prince is often ill, you should encourage him"?
"Three generals, please get up quickly." Gu Gaoxu pulled them up.

The three deputy commanders stood up in unison.

Wang Ping, deputy commander of the Yanshan Vanguard, pointed sideways at the tied-up Lieutenant General of the Palace Army Lan Tai and other cavalrymen and said, "We have captured the rebel!" Li Xiao, deputy commander of the Yanshan Right Guard, clapped his hands, and a group of soldiers appeared in the woods on the official road, pushing and shoving dozens of people out.

Gu Gaoxu asked doubtfully: "What is this?"

Li Xiao, deputy commander of the Yanshan Right Guard, said: "Before we set up an ambush here, these rebels in cloth clothes hid here and wanted to do something illegal, so we have already captured them all!"

Gu Gaoxu pinched his chin and said to himself, "Lan Tai should be waiting for these commoner rebels. They mistook the Lu Mansion guards for reinforcements, and that's why they launched the attack!"

Gu Gaoxu said in high spirits: "Good, very good! Take them all to the Imperial City and hand them over to the Emperor for his decision!"

Gu Gaoxu thought to himself, "Dad, since you've given me the power to mobilize the three guards of Yanshan, I must show off my power. Who dares to touch me?"

At this moment, Gu Gaoxu was extremely angry. He was so afraid that if a dog passed by on the roadside, he would go up and slap it a few times.

However, it is counterproductive.

Li Xiao, deputy commander of the Yanshan Right Guard, bowed and said, "Prince, I'm afraid we can't follow you to the imperial capital. We have crossed the border by marching here, and we can't stay here for long."

Zhang Deyi, deputy commander of the Yanshan Left Guard, chimed in, "Yes, the crisis has been resolved. We will return to the Yandu barracks now."

After listening to the words of the two old generals, Gu Gaoxu felt disappointed and turned to look at Wang Ping, deputy commander of the Yanshan Vanguard.

Veteran General Wang Ping and Gu Gaoxu made eye contact for a moment, then immediately bowed and said, "I'll take my leave!"

"Me?" Gu Gaoxu was speechless for a moment. He had no soldiers at his disposal.

It is unrealistic to let three Jinyiwei of the imperial court escort seventy or eighty people to the imperial capital!
If these seventy or eighty tied-up soldiers and rebels suddenly attack again, they can kill the three Jinyiwei even if they just sit there!
Gu Gaoxu gave up. He was not a soldier that he was waiting to be transferred, so there was no point in keeping him by force.

Gu Gaoxu said politely: "Three generals, take care!"

"Prince, have a safe trip!" After the three deputy commanders said this, they turned around and led the soldiers to leave in an orderly manner.

Lan Tai and other soldiers and rebels were left behind.

Gu Gaoxu turned around and stared at Liu Wuge lustfully, pinched his arm and praised him, "Not bad, you have a great physique!"

Gu Gaoxu circled around Liu Wuge and said, "He's a good candidate for the military. How about joining us?"

Brother Liu Wu said respectfully, "Prince, you are joking. Do you want us to escort you to the imperial capital?"

Brother Liu Wu speaks his mind and doesn't beat around the bush.

To put it bluntly, he has a simple mind but strong limbs.

When Gu Gaoxu heard this, he nodded several times and quickly responded, "Yes, yes!"

Brother Liu Wu continued, "Prince. The boss has already ordered that if you need us to escort you to the imperial city, you must pay for the escort fee."

Gu Gaoxu pointed at himself and said, "Escort gift? Am I the escort?"

"That's right!" Brother Liu Wu said bluntly.

"Okay, okay, Brother Lu, you actually accepted my escort gift in front of a fourth-rank official of the imperial court and the prince consort." Gu Gaoxu was so angry that he paced back and forth, cursing.

Gu Gaoxu had no choice but to agree and asked, "How much silver?"

Brother Liu Wu pointed a finger.

Gu Gaoxu looked at the finger and said, "One tael? Ten taels? One hundred taels? One thousand taels?"

Brother Liu Wu kept shaking his head.

"Ten thousand taels?" This time Gu Gaoxu's tone was obviously much better. This was a blatant act of overcharging the customer.

Brother Liu Wu still shook his head and said, "My eldest brother said a golden melon seed."

"You scared me. I thought it was ten or twenty thousand." Gu Gaoxu took out a golden melon seed from his arms and handed it to Liu Wu Ge.

Brother Liu Wu stretched out his right hand and pointed at the people not far away: "Five, ten, fifteen."

"Prince, a total of seventy-six golden melon seeds are needed. Oh, no, including Doctor Li, a total of seventy-seven golden melon seeds are needed." Liu Wu Ge said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Gu Gaoxu cursed, "I'm going to report him to the Inspectorate! It's New Year's Eve, blackmail!"

Gu Gaoxu thought for a moment, then said to the three Jinyiwei: "Come here!"

Three Jinyiwei stepped forward and asked, "Prince, what do you want?"

The Jinyiwei were directly under the imperial court and were the emperor's personal guards. No one else had the power to give orders to them.

This time, it was Mao Xiang, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who ordered to ensure that Gu Gaoxu arrived at the imperial capital safely, and that all requests that were not excessive should be met.

Gu Gaoxu pointed at the people who were tied up not far away and said, "Go! Leave a few of them, including the one with the surname Lan, and chop off the rest!"

This is to kill the prisoners!
The three Jinyiwei looked at each other, thinking that the second son of Prince Yan was quite cruel. In order to save some money, he actually ordered them to do such a thing.

When Zhang Wu Ge saw that Gu Gaoxu was about to kill the prisoners, he took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Gu Gaoxu according to the boss's instructions.

Gu Gaoxu took the letter handed to him by Brother Zhang Wu, which was written by Lu Yuan.

After reading the letter, Gu Gaoxu waved his hand and willingly took out two handfuls of golden melon seeds and stuffed them into Zhang Wu Ge's hands.

Not more, not less, exactly seventy-seven golden melon seeds.

Gu Gaoxu felt his arms and found that there was not even a single golden melon seed left. Brother Lu had really calculated that there was not a single one left!

Brother Zhang Wu took the golden melon seeds and waved towards the distance.

Dozens of small cars drove in neatly from a distant fork in the road.

Each wheel is wrapped with anti-skid chains, so the car can move steadily without slipping in the snow.

Brother Zhang Wu opened the passenger door and said, "Prince, please get in the car!"

Gu Gaoxu, who had just felt sorry for the golden melon seeds, was delighted when he saw this. He touched the car shell and said, "These golden melon seeds are worth spending!"

Under the escort of the Lu Mansion Guards, the entire convoy headed towards the Imperial City in a mighty procession.
The next morning, there was a burst of firecrackers outside the Lu family's mansion.

Gu Ziyue and Song Meiqin climbed up from the heated kang, shaking their heads.

"Aunt Song, why am I here?" Gu Ziyue drank too much last night and woke up in the morning to find herself lying naked in Aunt Song's room.

Song Meiqin covered her head, thought carefully, and said: "I can't remember clearly, I just remember that I fell on the dining table in the end."

"We don't know how?" Gu Ziyue pointed at the two men's naked upper bodies, not knowing how to say it.

"Yuer, stop thinking about it. No one in the Lu Mansion dares to do anything to us." Song Meiqi pressed there and it was still a little sore.

Gu Ziyue picked up the clothes hanging on the hanger, handed Aunt Song's clothes to her, and said, "It's the first day of the New Year, it's getting late, Aunt Song, let's get up quickly."

Only Song Meiqin and Gu Ziyue could not hold their liquor and passed out last night.

Song Meiqi and Gu Ziyue put on their clothes and hurried to the hall of the mansion. Everyone else had already arrived.

Everyone greeted each other.

The wet nurses stood on one side, each holding or hugging Lu Yuan's child.

Lu Yuan wrapped a few big red envelopes to distribute to the children and said:

"Lu Ruyan, this is yours, take it and buy something delicious!"

"Lu Huanqiao, call me daddy and this red envelope is yours~"

"Lu Zhishen, our good son, I'll give you a bigger one when we talk later!"

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, everyone was surprised:
"Lu Huanqiao? Lu Zhishen?" (End of this chapter)
