Powerful

Chapter 20
When Fu Ming, Shen Du and their group returned to the inner city of Jingzhao, the sky was already dark, and street lamps had already been lit on Xuanping Avenue, and the Gu family's gate house was clearly reflected.

The Gu family looked particularly quiet in the twilight.It wasn't until the concierge saw Gu Chong'an with a dignified expression that he hurriedly opened the door, greeted the guests, and delivered newspapers. The moving candlelight, figures, and human voices continued, the whole Gu family seemed to come alive.

Gu Chong'an ordered his servants to send Fu and Gu Yan back to the backyard to settle down. Then he looked at Fu Ming and Shen Du who were following behind him, and said, "Master Shen, please! Ming'er, follow me!"

After he finished speaking, he took Shen Du and Fu Ming straight to the Pine Age Home.A group of three people only heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and the rest were silent.

After entering Jingzhao, Captain Chen Wei and a dozen Huben soldiers left with some of the dead bodies of men in black. Shen Du came to Gu's house alone.

Compared with Gu Chongan and Fu Ming's hasty pace, Shen Du's pace is much more leisurely.Although she moved quickly, she did not forget to watch the Gu family's garden layout.

Under the illumination of the lights, Shen Du didn't see it clearly, he just felt that when he moved from place to place, all he could see were stone rockery, which was very different from the rich and powerful houses he had seen.

Jingzhao's dignitaries' homes are mostly decorated with flowers, trees, pavilions, and clear water. From this point of view, the Gu family's rockery seems to be more.

However, Shen Du didn't think about the arrangement of the Gu family anymore, because Gu Chong'an and Fu Ming both stopped.It turned out that they came to a large courtyard, the courtyard was brightly lit, and the servants were waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Obviously, the owner of the courtyard was waiting for them.

At this time, Gu Zhan was already at home, and before Gu Chong'an and the others arrived, a fast-paced young man rushed to the Pine Age Court and told about the future of Gu Chong'an and Fu Ming.

Hearing the boy's report, Gu Zhan knew that something important had happened.Last night, Gu Chong'an came to the Pine Age Institute and told him that he was going to take Fu and others to Fuyuan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing this morning and spend the night in the temple, why did he come back suddenly?What happened?

When Gu Zhan saw Shen Du coming in together, his doubts deepened.Shen Du was in charge of the imperial edict in Zhongshu Province, and Gu Zhan, as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, had many official contacts with him.

However, the Gu family and Shen Du have no personal relationship, why did he come to the Gu family?Could it be related to Ann's sudden return home?
It was just during the meeting and greeting, Gu Zhan had various guesses in his mind.But he never expected that Gu Chong'an rushed back and was ambushed in Kongcui Mountain!By coincidence, Fu Ming and Shen Du rescued the Gu family in Kongcui Mountain!
After he finished listening to Gu Chongan's narration, his complexion changed.The courtier, who was usually moody and indifferent, looked solemn and cold at this moment.

Dare to kill the eldest son of the Gu family, it is tantamount to cutting off the bloodline of the Gu family's descendants. No matter how kind Gu Zhan is, he will still be filled with anger.

"Are you sure, those men in black are after you?" Gu Zhan asked restrainedly, thinking of the incident when his granddaughter Gu Yan fell off the rockery earlier.

There are various unusual things about Gu Yan falling off the rockery. Originally, Gu Zhan thought it was nothing serious, but within a short period of time, the ambushes happened.It seems that the omens from that time have been repeated again, that is, there are masters in the dark against the Gu family, and the Gu family has hidden enemies!
Yes, sworn enemy!
Gu Zhan can only think of these two words. If it is not a mortal enemy, why cut off the blood of the Gu family?
However, when did the Gu family form a deadly feud with others?As the head of the Gu family, Gu Zhan has experienced and witnessed what happened to the Gu family in recent decades. He really can't think of who the mortal enemy is.

"Father, there's nothing wrong with that. Those men in black came after me. If Ming'er and Mr. Shen hadn't arrived in time, we, the Gu family, would surely have died."

Gu Chong'an replied, thinking of the blood and dead bodies in the mountain depression, he couldn't help shivering, and his brows and eyes gradually turned cold.

No one can be calm when facing death for the first time, Gu Chong'an is not bad.Even he himself could not predict the impact and change of this ambushes on him.

"Then, Ming'er, why did you arrive in such a timely manner? Did you receive any news in advance?" Gu Zhan quickly grasped the root of the problem, and looked at Fu Ming with sharp eyes.

"My nephew got wind that there were bandits in Kongcui Mountain. I also thought that my uncle and aunt were going to Fuyuan Temple to offer incense, so I wanted to use the name of patrol to escort them secretly..."

Fu Ming braced himself and said the words he had already thought up.The facts are indeed similar, except that there is an extra cousin, Gu Yan.

It is impossible for Fu Ming to mention Gu Yan at this time, even though what happened in Kongcuishan was far beyond his expectation.But he believed that his cousin Gu Yan definitely didn't know about this incident.

Perhaps she knew that there would be danger, but she definitely did not expect to encounter such a fierce fight.

As for the potential dangers she knew, she did not confess to her close relatives, there must be a reason, and Fu Ming intends to tell her out to make a mess.

He will definitely find out the identities of those men in black and avenge their dead brothers! ——In Kongcui Mountain, the Gyeonggi Guard lost a dozen soldiers and injured a dozen others.

Thinking of the escaped man in black, Fu Ming's eyes flashed with a strong murderous intent.

At this time, Shen Du added: "Hu Ben's soldiers have been tracking down a group of Wang Yang thieves according to the order. I followed the clues to Kongcui Mountain. These men in black are related to that group of thieves. Huben will continue to investigate the details."

His words explained why the soldiers from Huben appeared in Kongcui Mountain by chance so as to clear up the confusion for Fu Ming and others.

After saying this, Shen Du looked at Fu Ming, and asked cautiously: "Vice General Fu, you fought against the leader of the man in black personally, did you find anything unusual?"

He followed Fu Ming to Gu's house just to know these details.The man in black who died in Kongcui Mountain was not his target, but the man in black who escaped was connected to the clue behind it. I don't know what Fu Ming could see?

Hearing Shen Du's question, Fu Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered the fight between the men in black before they fled.Unusual... Of course there are, but can you believe the heavyness in front of you?

Fu Ming looked at Shen Du carefully, and saw that his forehead was wide and full, his eyebrows reached into his temples, his eyes were bright and energetic, and he was sitting upright, with the whitebait bag on his waist not shaking at all.

This kind of seriousness made Fu Ming inexplicably trust him, so he said: "The man in black's move is very vicious, there is no specific way, and the move is to put the opponent in the mortal enemy. I have heard such a move before." Others said, it seems to be... a dead man!"

At the end of Fu Ming's speech, he subconsciously raised his voice.Before he went to Jingzhao, his grandfather Fu Tong and father Fu Huaide had told him various things about Jingzhao, among them was the dead man, which must be guarded against.The man in black gave him the feeling that he was a well-trained dead soldier!

Fu Ming has been in the army since he was a child, and his feelings for a person are rarely wrong.

After hearing his words, Shen Du showed an expression of "it's true". Obviously, he was prepared for this answer, and Fu Ming's words only confirmed what he thought in his heart.

Gu Zhan and Gu Chong'an, who were on the side, looked extremely stiff when they heard Fu Ming's words.
