sturdy landlady

Chapter 172
Feng Tianze smiled wryly when he heard the words: "There is something I haven't told you all this time."

"What's the matter?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked subconsciously.

"Actually...the three of them...Wu Liekong and Yin Changhe...have already been killed by me, so...as soon as this story spreads, Wu Liexing will definitely kill me, so...the two of us are still on the same boat. "Feng Tianze said in a low voice.

He didn't want to tell Gu Xiaoxiao at first, but now that the situation is like this, it seems that he can't hide it anymore.

"Why?" Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise.

"Because..." Feng Tianze looked at her, and said after a while: "It's just that they don't like it."

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't believe in such a bad reason from him. If he didn't like it, he would kill them and cause trouble for himself, unless he was crazy!

In fact, without thinking too much, she knew that Feng Tianze did this for her, probably because he was afraid that those people would attack her, and to help her relieve the pressure, so let's get rid of them.

I don't know if this girl regrets it now, after all... killing them is completely thankless for him.

"Don't care about these people, I'm going to go to the northwest to join you. I have an army of [-] people to support. If you don't have money by then, you have to lend it to me." Feng Tianze looked at Gu Xiaoxiao, said with a smile.

"You prince is still short of money?" Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him with a half-smile.

"It's missing, of course it's missing. You know the situation in Beining Province. Because it's close to Fengshan, many towns and villages have been attacked by strange beasts for more than a year. People's lives are difficult, and taxes can't be collected. Come up, I heard that the officials there are all poor, I can't expect them to help me raise my people." Feng Tianze said with a wry smile.

"Isn't there you, the prince, at that time, just send the people under your command to practice and help the common people deal with the strange beasts." Gu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"You girl, to put it bluntly, you don't want to borrow money. You can make a lot of money selling Lingmi!" Feng Tianze laughed.

"It's okay, we'll discuss it when we get to the northwest." Gu Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.

"En!" Feng Tianze nodded lightly when he heard the words, in fact... how could he not afford to support the people around him, he just wanted to get closer to Gu Xiaoxiao by excuse.

He wanted to say something, but Hu Yong's voice came from outside the door.

"My lord..."

"What's the matter?" Feng Tianze said with a hint of dissatisfaction. He finally had the opportunity to talk to Gu Xiaoxiao. He was not happy that these people insisted on disturbing him, even if it was an important matter.

"Reporting to the lord, the second and third masters of the Gu family are begging to see the lord." Standing outside the door, Hu Yong certainly heard that his lord was a little unhappy, so he could only bite the bullet and report.

"What is the Gu family here for?" Before Feng Tianze could say anything, Gu Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice.

"I don't know either, let me ask." Feng Tianze replied in a low voice, then cleared his throat and said, "What are they here for?"

"The servant doesn't know either!" Hu Yong shook his head and replied.

"Let them go to the main hall!" Feng Tianze said while turning his head to look at Gu Xiaoxiao: "Do you want to go together?"

"What am I going to do? People from the Haotian League offer a reward of 100 million taels of silver to arrest me. If I go to the main hall and be bumped into by those scumbags from the Gu family, they will definitely report it." Gu Xiaoxiao said with a curled lip.

"You go to the small helper room in the main hall to drink tea and listen to what they say." Feng Tianze whispered.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't refuse when she heard the words. She was actually a little curious about what the best of the Gu family came to find Feng Tianze.

……

In the main hall of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Gu Weide, Gu Weian, Gu Liyan and others sat quietly on the chairs on both sides. From their expressions, one could tell that they were a little embarrassed.

"Why hasn't the prince come yet?" Gu Liyan said impatiently, holding the silk handkerchief tightly in her hand.

"Wait obediently." Gu Weide glared at his daughter and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Although Gu Liyan was a little unconvinced, she nodded obediently.

"Second uncle, is it really better than being in the capital when we go to the northwest?" Gu Liruo asked with a worried expression.

"Sure." Gu Weide said firmly.

"My lord is here!" At this moment, a servant's announcement came from the door.

"My lord!" Gu Weide immediately brought his family members to greet him, calling Feng Tianze to salute from a distance.

"Get up!" Feng Tianze sat on the chair, gently raised his hand, motioned for them to get up, and then cut to the chase: "Master Gu came here at night, why?"

"My lord, I came here today to ask for something, and I hope for my lord's permission." Gu Weide said respectfully.

Although he has been dismissed, he used to be an official for many years, but now he refuses to call himself a "grassman".

"What's the matter?" Feng Tianze asked with a frown.

"Weichen's hometown is in Weiyang County in the northwest. It is more than 1000 miles away to the northwest. Weichen heard that the road is getting more and more uneven. Strange beasts are infested. Even if you take the official road, you will suffer great losses. The Gu family is not what it used to be. Bi, Weichen and others don't have handy escorts, so... I want to ask the prince to take our Gu family with him when he goes to the northwest." Gu Weide said hastily.

Leaving the capital was also a decision they made after a long time of deliberation.

The current capital city is no longer decided by the Feng family of the royal family, but by the people of the Haotian League. Their Gu family is nothing at all, if they stay here, I don’t know what the situation will be like in the future. It’s better to go back to my hometown in the northwest. .

At least, the Northwest Army is still there, and when Gu Yumian takes charge of the Northwest Army, they will still have a backer.

"You want to go to the northwest with me?" Feng Tianze frowned.

"Yes!" Gu Weide and others nodded quickly.

"Forgive me for being helpless and unable to agree to your request." Feng Tianze directly refused.

Gu Xiaoxiao hates the Gu family so much, and they still have to go to Weiyang County, isn't that going to cause Gu Xiaoxiao a lot of trouble?

Of course we can't let them go.

Gu Weide looked at Feng Tianze in shock when he heard the words. This prince actually refused such a simple matter?

why?
Could it be that the Fifth Prince despises them just because their family is in decline?
"Taking us to the northwest is nothing more than a little effort for the lord, please give me your permission!" Gu Liyan stood up, smiled sweetly at Feng Tianze, and said flatteringly.

"If this king says no, it's no good, you all step down!" Feng Tianze said impatiently.

Seeing them leave, Feng Tianze shook his head lightly, and was about to get up to find Gu Xiaoxiao, but Gu Liyan left and came back.

"My lord, my servants are willing to stay by my side to serve my lord, and I also ask my lord to take our Gu family to the northwest." Gu Liyan walked quickly in front of Feng Tianze, and blessed her body and said.

"Stay with me?" Feng Tianze looked at her with a sullen face, what does this woman mean?
