Chapter 16: Father-in-law

Gu Du smiled but said nothing. Dongfang Buwen thought for a while and asked, "Am I wrong?"

Gu Du said: "I don't know how to use the grain store to collect a lot of grain. I only use the grain store to store some grain, and then I send people to buy grain everywhere and store it in the camp. The excess grain will be burned. If there is less grain in the world, the grain in the grain store can be sold at a high price, so that my capital for buying grain will be back."

Dongfang Buyin suddenly realized it, but he frowned and said, "If you do this, it may cause the people of Ling to live in poverty. It will be a disaster for the heavens. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Gu Du said: "I have been retribution. Jin Lan and his son died tragically. Isn't this retribution? I don't know what evil things I did, maybe it's because I know that the Ling Emperor is unkind, but I still want to help Lingguo attack Zeguo."

Dongfang Buwen sighed, and Gu Du said again: "There is no one who can't die in war. Either they die or we die."

Dongfang Xia Lan ran in again and said, "Swallow named her son Feng Chengqiu?"

Gu Du and Dongfang Buwen were stunned at the same time, and Gu Du asked, "What two words?"

Dongfang Xia Lan replied: "Successful success, hatred."

Dongfang Buwen frowned and said, "Why is this kid crazy? Why did you get such a name?"

Dongfang Xia Lan said with a smile: "Guess."

Dongfang Buwen looked after Gu Du. Gu Du thought for a while and said, "Swallow was originally the daughter of a salt merchant. He was framed by Guo Youfu and his family was destroyed. Therefore, she became enemies with Lingguo. He named this name, probably to let his son remember that their family had enemies with Lingguo."

"It's really boring." Dongfang Xia Lan turned around and left with an unhappy look on her face.

Gu Du smiled, Dongfang Buwen laughed, and said, "You have become your master."

Gu Du was stunned and said, "Yes, I'm only twenty-five years old, and I'm the master."

Dongfang Buwen said, "Congratulations, that... you and Xia Lan should have a child earlier. I still want to see it with my own eyes when I am alive."

Gu Du stared at him, and after a while, he asked softly: "Jin Lan is your daughter, right?"

Dongfang Buyin shivered and scolded: "What are you talking nonsense? Is this kind of thing easy to be funny?"

Gu Du said: "Every time you look at Xia Lan, you have sadness mixed in your eyes. When Lixia and I fled to Jiehe, you asked me to kill you, relieve your anger, and then help Zeguo to strengthen the country and avenge Jin Lan."

"I was heartbroken at that time and didn't think much about it. Looking back now, you were also sad about Jin Lan's death, almost in pain. Also, when we met for the first time, you said something, saying that I was the husband chosen by Jin Lan, and you came to see what kind of person I am."

Dongfang Buwen's face was extremely strange, and Gu Du said again: "No matter how poor Zeguo is, he will not even have any palace walls or guards. Jin Lan's biological mother is the imperial concubine. Apart from the guards, there are probably only you, the emperor's uncle."

"And the late emperor suspected that Concubine Jin was unfaithful. Even if Concubine Jin hanged herself, the late emperor did not forgive Jin Lan, who was still in her infancy, and even took away the surname of her royal family. It can be seen that it is not just as simple as suspicion."

"And this matter is so secretive in the palace. It must be that the late emperor does not want to pursue that person. Apart from you, the uncle, who else can let the late emperor swallow this anger?"

Dongfang Buwen suddenly shouted: "He swallowed this anger? Jian Rong was already childhood sweetheart with me! It was him..."

Dongfang Buwen stopped and gritted his teeth.

Gu Du stood up, bowed to Dongfang Buwen to the end, and called softly: "My father-in-law."

The East does not hear the old tears.

Dongfang Xialan ran in again. Dongfang Buwen quickly stood up and turned around. Dongfang Xialan asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Gu Du, have you hit him?"

Gu Du laughed and asked, "What are you doing this trip?"

Dongfang Xia Lan replied: "It's okay, I can't always stay with Yan Zi, I'm back."

After saying that, he approached Gu Du and asked with his eyes.

Gu Du whispered softly: "He is Jin Lan's biological father."

Dongfang Xia Lan opened her eyes in an instant, Gu Du made a ban on voice gesture and said, "Master Priest, let's talk about this today."

"Okay." Dongfang Buwen agreed and bypassed the two of them.

Dongfang Xia Lan whispered: "I said that, I always feel that his eyes look at me are strange."

Gu Du smiled and said, "This is strange. He doesn't look like your father, but the daughter he gave birth to looks so similar."

Dongfang Xia Lan said: "I have to write a letter to my mother and tell her about this."

Gu Du frowned, Dongfang Xia Lan said, "Mom suspected that Jin Lan was her father's illegitimate daughter."

Gu Du smiled, he had to be suspicious and said, "Go and write."

The family letter was sent back to Mount Danyuan, and the wife asked Dongfang Xinghao: "Husband, can you recognize the main priest of Zeguo? Dongfang has not heard of it?"

Dongfang Xinghao replied, "I know that he is the younger brother of the old emperor of Zeguo. That man is so good at drinking. I met him when I was in the Ice Field. I often drink and chat with him. I also taught him how to practice meditation. What's wrong with him?"

The lady smiled and asked, "Did you ever mention the rami of Danyuan Mountain to him?"

Dongfang Xinghao was silent for a moment, and asked with a cold face: "Is he Jin Lan's biological father?"

The lady came over and held his hand with a smile. Dongfang Xinghao snorted coldly and threw her hand away.

The lady scolded: "Dare you dare to dump me? Stay in your study! Don't come back tonight!"

Dongfang Xinghao glared and said, "Why are you still so unreasonable?"

The lady scolded: "You knew I was like this when you married me!"

Tang Yue, the weather turned cold. The Emperor of Ling summoned the high priest Zhong Qi and said, "After half a year, the team transporting grain had never encountered robbery. What do you think?"

Zhong Qi replied: "Maybe the intention of seducing the enemy is too obvious, so Gu Du dared not move lightly."

The Spirit Emperor asked, "Will you be helpless with him?"

Zhong Qi thought for a while and replied: "Maybe you can set fire to the mountains, then surround them without fighting, cut off their food and grass, and force them to go to war. However, the consumption will inevitably be huge, and it will take a long time, which will be too much of a loss."

The Spirit Emperor asked, "What does it mean to be worth the loss?"

Zhong Qi replied: "No matter what, you cannot kill Gu Du. Just to eliminate thousands of enemy troops, you have to use tens of thousands of troops and provide sufficient food and grass. This is not worth the loss."

The Spirit Emperor was silent for a while and said, "I want to make peace with Zeguo."

Zhong Qi was stunned, and the Spirit Emperor said, "I have been fighting for more than three hundred years, and no one can destroy anyone. I only end up suffering from people's livelihood and complaints. It is better to discuss peace and open and trade. So what can I do if I have the ability?"

Zhong Qi's face was a little strange and he said, "I'm afraid Zeguo will not make peace with the emperor."

The Emperor Ling said, "Then let's wait and see. I will send envoys to Zeguo to negotiate peace soon."

Zhong Qi said: "I wish the emperor a smooth peace agreement."
