Chapter 238
Yelu Luan’s heart was burning with fire as he secretly vowed that before he could stab Gu Zezhi into thousands of cuts with his sword, his anger would never be quelled.
And Yelu Luan almost knocked his head down with all his strength.
First.
Second.
Third.
At the same time, nobody knows who started it but the people outside the Yingling Temple also knelt down one after another, until all the people in the street bowed their heads.
Those people were also kowtowing in the direction of the Yingling Temple where the stele was located but they were not making amends, they kowtow to those heroic spirits that give up their lives to protect the Great Qi.
With the sacrifice of these heroic spirits, there was now peace in Great Qi, and Beiyan has now bowed before them.
Yu Fuyun who was watching everything at the back felt inexpressible joy as he looked at the blue sky.
Did father, uncle, and brothers as well as those heroes of the Yu family who died in the battle see this scene?
After Yelu Luan kowtowed, he immediately stood up from the ground, his gaze shot grimly at Gu Zezhi as if he wanted to say something, but finally said nothing.
In fact, he doesn’t need to say anything his murderous eyes have explained everything.
He gave a cold grunt and walked out of the gate of the Yingling Temple without looking back. He got on his horse and rode away at the fastest speed, leaving all the people’s comments behind.
Both Gu Zezhi and Yu Fuyun did not bother their minds on Yelu Luan anymore. The two of them coincidentally passed the stone monument and entered the main hall of the Yingling Temple in front of them.
In the main hall, a dense path of plaques like terraces was enshrined in it, this was where the plaques of those highly decorated generals who have made outstanding achievements could be seen, and among them, there were also members of the Yu clan, including Yu Fuyun’s father, uncle, grandfather, great grandfather…
The two knelt quietly on the futon, offered incense, and kowtowed.
After a while, the two came out of the main hall again, Gu Zezhi said in a light voice.
“The next is the peace talks between the two countries, do you want to come along?”
Yu Fuyun did not say anything and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Gu Zezhi smiled: “You know Beiyan better than I do, and you know better what it takes to make Beiyan hurt more.”
Cheng Ying, who was guarding the eaves of the main hall, also heard this and once again admired Master Gu to the core. He was simply amazing!
Yu Fuyun walked down the stone steps and stopped beside an old pine tree. He nodded.
“Okay.”
The cold wind was howling, making the ancient pines sway, and rustles as if echoing something.
On the same day, Gu Zezhi went to the imperial study and asked the emperor to have Yu Fuyun help him negotiate peace with Beiyan.
Because of the big impact Yelu Luan’s trip to Yingling Temple to apologize on behalf Beiyan, this made a lot of noise throughout the capital, so naturally, the emperor heard about it.
The emperor was very happy but since Gu Zezhi didn’t tell him earlier, he regretted the fact that he wasn’t able to see it with his own eyes. Because if he did, he could have disguised himself and watched the show upfront.
And so, for Gu Zezhi’s request, the emperor responded very quickly.
“Yes.”
With this brief reply, there was a sigh that only the emperor himself knows. Yu Fuyun’s body has not been well, so the emperor did not dare give him errands unlike before.
Ai.
But it seems that it would do him better to have something to do and make him feel busy so that he doesn’t always get lost in the past.
The emperor turned the jade ring in his thumb as he pondered for a moment and changed the topic.
“Zezhi, has your mother picked the date to propose marriage?”
Gu Zezhi nodded with a smile and said, “It’s the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.”
“Good!”
The emperor was overjoyed and understood that Duan Wang Fei was sharp enough.
“I’ll be waiting to drink the wedding wine between you and Xiao Jiu!”
On the seventh day of the lunar New Year, the Duan Wangfu invited Su Wang Fei as a matchmaker, prepared a generous gift, and went to the Qin family to propose marriage.
