After sending a few people back, Zhuge Xuan rushed over to report.

"Your Highness, it's all done."

Seeing that he was so happy, Qin Hao deliberately kept a straight face and said angrily, "This time, I will be a bad person if I listen to you."

"If it weren't for Your Highness, it would not be easy to capture them this time." Without Qin Hao's help, Zhuge Xuan would not be sure he could capture them.

"Don't make things too simple."

Qin Hao threw the stone he had been playing with for a long time into the distance, turned around and looked at Zhuge Xuan: "What if someone objects?"

Zhuge Xuan thought for a moment and said one word without emotion, "kill."

Whoever dares to block His Highness's steps must be prepared for blood to be spilled on the spot.

"I hope no one will do anything wrong."

In his heart, Qin Hao was actually very unwilling to cause unnecessary killings. It was not easy for these people to fight to survive, and it was not worth losing their lives because of it.

But even if Qin Hao is willing to think about these people, there are still some people who are unwilling.

Gujiazhuang

A group of people were sitting around the redwood chairs in the ancestral hall, and fierce quarrels broke out from time to time over the letters sent by Zhuge Xuan.

"Clang"

Suddenly, the middle-aged man sitting on the left side of the main seat waved the tea cup next to him to the ground, made a dull voice, and shouted angrily, "If it doesn't work, it won't work. Our Gujiazhuang must not move."

Everyone was startled. They seemed to be afraid of him and stopped speaking. They just looked at the old man sitting on the main seat, hoping that he would stand up and say a few words.

When the maid next to her saw Gu Qing smashing the tea cup, she hurriedly ran over and squatted on the ground, packing it up carefully. The depressing atmosphere made her a little breathless, so she hastily packed up and left.

"Gu Qing, sit down."

After the maid left, the old man banged the crutch in his hand on the ground, making a crackling sound, and shouted loudly: "This is in the clan ancestral hall, not a place for you to act wild."

Hearing the old man's scolding, Gu Qing's veins were exposed, and he suppressed his anger and sat down. The one who scolded him was his father, so there was nothing he could do about it.

But he would never agree to the relocation, and he was already prepared for a fight if the worst happened.

"Can you send someone to discuss with that gentleman? Our Gujiazhuang is willing to give up another level of grain tax. We just hope that the children of our Gu family will not be scattered." The old man at the table slowly faced the audience. The person who came to report the news said.

"Mr. Gu, I'm just a messenger. I don't even know what's written in this letter." The messenger shook his head.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The young man next to Gu Qing stood up and thanked him.

Then he asked his servants to take a few pieces of broken silver and hand them to the person who delivered the message: "It's just a small thing, but it's not respectful. I also prepare a bag of grain. Take it with you when you leave. It can be regarded as the reward for delivering the message."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu." The messenger played with the money in his hand, smiled brightly, and carefully stuffed it into his trouser legs.

Then he looked up at everyone in the hall and said, "Master Gu, it's better to make plans early. I think that adult is very resolute and not an easy person to talk to. Most of the nearby villages have agreed."

After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, seemingly for the sake of food, and then said something flattering: "But Gujiazhuang is a big village, and it has been protecting us all these years. If I were given a choice, I would not listen to the village chief. Just follow the Gu family."

"Okay okay"

The young man laughed twice and sent him outside the door before walking back to the ancestral hall.

"Gu Cheng, what do you think about this matter?"

Mr. Gu rubbed the Minghua wooden crutch in his hand and looked at the young man walking towards him and asked.

"Reply to dad."

Gu Cheng bowed his hands to the banquet and analyzed in a low voice: "Judging from the recent news, Blind Liu's group on the mountain has been wiped out by that adult.

Dad, you also know that the forces on the mountain are not so easy to mess with. Since they can kill Blind Liu in a few days, I think..."

"I know what you mean." Mr. Gu closed his eyes and said, "Sit down first."

Gu Qing, who was sitting on the chair, was always impatient. After half a cup of tea, he saw that his father still had this ambiguous attitude, so he couldn't control his temper and wanted to get up.

"Be calm." Mr. Gu opened his eyes and looked at Gu Qing sharply.

"The people do not fight against the officials. This is the principle passed down from our ancestors. The same thing happened to Gujiazhuang today."

After a moment of silence, he said: "That's all, I will listen to that adult in everything."

"Fart!" Gu Qing roared and stood up to retort.

He was so angry after being scolded by Mr. Gu just now, and now he said such words, he couldn't help it anymore.

"Dad, you said that the people will not fight against the officials, but don't forget that our family is also an official, and we are a hundred households in the eighth-level town of the Ming Dynasty.

Those who just came are just a group of bandits. They are nothing, but they dare to bark at our family.

Dad, don't say anything else. You are just as timid as my younger brother. If I hadn't insisted on it, how could our family have come back here and acquired a piece of property? If you hadn't listened to me, the Gu family would have starved to death. . "

Now that it was said, Gu Qing didn't care at all and poured out the past memories of adulthood like beans.

At the beginning, just because he could not survive in the Ming Dynasty, he and several brothers bribed the patrol guards at the time and let them go to sea to find a life.

Later, when they happened to come to Taiwan Island, Gu Qing also had a good vision and took a fancy to this place at first sight. After returning home, he tried his best to persuade his father to move the whole family.

As expected, life here was better than that in the Ming Dynasty, and many children in the family were grateful to Gu Qing.

Later, bandits appeared, and he and his family members also beat back the bandits. In addition, he was the young clan leader and had a superior status. At this time, he was not at all nervous when he argued with Mr. Gu.

Gu Qing looked at the group of clan elders around him arrogantly with a look of disdain. If he hadn't been there, they wouldn't know where they were.

Then he looked at the stage, with a rather arrogant tone: "Dad, you are old and lack the spirit of forging ahead. I think the group of new bandits are not very good. Leave it to me. You just sit in the hall and watch how your son kills them without leaving any armor and running away."

After that, he walked out of the ancestral hall without looking back.

"Ahem"

Old Master Gu was very angry at Gu Qing's remarks. He pointed his cane at his back and cursed, "Rebellious son, rebellious son."

The elders in the hall saw that today's discussion was like this, and they all walked out of the ancestral hall with their backs drooped and sighed.

Gu Qing was right. They were old. Although they had a clan in this place, their majesty was not as great as before. I thought that Old Master Gu could still suppress him, but he didn't expect that he would turn his face today.

He was also full of worries about the future of the Gu family. He didn't ask for rapid success but for peace and safety.

Seeing that everyone except the youngest son had left, Old Master Gu showed a relieved smile on his face. He had worked hard for the family all his life and he was tired.

And his eldest son had grown up and had his own ideas. He had restrained himself against him before. Today he could resist to the end, and he was actually very happy in his heart.

"Let's see where he can lead the Gu family in the future. However, I still have one last thing to do for the Gu family."

Old Man Gu sighed, called Gu Qing over, and whispered a few words in his ear.
