Chapter 9693 Take action
Gujiazhai.
The night is hazy.
Zi Yan took advantage of the night and walked quickly on the mountain road.
Because Gu Feng was still around, the patrolling Gu family guards bowed and stepped aside.
In the distance, a huge mansion could be seen standing in the darkness.
"That's where Tao Gaochang lives."
Gu Fengshang pointed to the courtyard road ahead.
“The area is quite large.” Zi Yan said lightly.
Although the ability to produce food on this mountain is limited, the mountain area is very large. It is easy to build houses by using various trees in the mountain to build wooden buildings.
Moreover, the Gu family has been operating this mountain for hundreds of years and has accumulated enough buildings.
"There are more than 500 houses like this on the mountain, and most of them are now family property and not owned by individuals."
Gu Fengshang introduced.
“Who is it?”
As soon as Gu Fengshang finished speaking, four figures suddenly jumped out of the darkness.
These four people all wore leather armor with many metal pieces inlaid on the leather armor. This is a kind of armor unique to the indigenous people. Because of the limited metal materials and the rugged mountain roads, it was deliberately designed to look like this.
The four men were led by a man in his twenties, who was very tall and held a bow and arrow in his hand.
What mountain people are best at is bows and arrows, and bows and arrows are also the most effective weapons for hunting in the mountains.
Because of this, many years of life in the mountains have made the ethnic groups in the mountains become masters of archery, and each ethnic group has a highly skilled hunter.
Four bows and arrows pointed at Gu Feng Shang and Zi Yan.
From their attitudes, Zi Yan could tell that these people were definitely not from the Gu family.
Otherwise, the first moment you see the ancient fashion, you will take back the bow and arrow in your hand.
Zi Yan's body moved like clouds and flowing water. She moved rapidly. After approaching one of them, she slapped that person's neck with her palm.
The man fell to the ground with a groan, his body twitched a few times and stopped moving.
The other three were shocked and immediately wanted to shoot out the bows and arrows in their hands.
But at this time, Zi Yan moved towards another man.
The ancient style has also changed. As the leader of the clan, he usually practices the martial arts passed down by the ancient clan, so his attacks are only slightly slower than Zi Yan.
A few crisp sounds.
All four men were subdued.
The leading man gritted his teeth with dust on his face and said: "Damn it, do you know who you attacked?"
"Who is it?"
Gu Fengshan approached with his hands behind his back, a cold look on his face.
This is the territory of his Gu family, and now this person from whom I don’t know where he came from is threatening him without shame.
“You, are you the ancient patriarch?”
This man initially had his eyes set high above his head and didn’t pay attention to anything.
At this moment, he finally saw clearly the identity of the person standing in front of him.
It turns out that the one who knocked down the four of them was Gu Fengzhang.
"Yes, I am Gu Feng Shang, who are you? How dare you run wild on the hills of my ancient family?"
Gu Feng Shang's face was gloomy, he was very unhappy, he felt like Being slapped in the face.
You must know that this is one of the core places of the Gu family. Logically speaking, such an attack is unlikely to happen.
Now, not only did this happen, but it happened just when he was bringing distinguished guests from outside... This is very unreasonable.
"On Tao Lin Road, I met the ancient patriarch."
The man, whose hands were tied behind his back and restrained on the ground, hurriedly reported his identity.
If you don’t reveal your identity now, if Gu Feng gets angry and pushes them out and kills them, will the clan leader really stand up for them then?
Others don’t know it, but they know how cold-blooded and cruel the Tao clan leader is. "Are you the Tao tribe's guard?"
Ancient fashion frowns.
From the beginning, he thought that these people were probably Tao guards.
After all, if outsiders want to break through the siege and reach this core place, they cannot do so silently.
“Report to the ancient clan leader that he is serving as a guard of the Tao clan...”
Tao Linlu said dejectedly: "Chief Gu, this is a misunderstanding. We thought there was an enemy invasion."
"Misunderstanding? This is not your decision."
Gu Fengshang sneered. .
We have already fought each other, and now we are simply saying a misunderstanding and ignoring everything. How can it be such a good thing?
“Brother Gu!”
At this time, someone was shouting in the distance.
In ancient fashion, Zi Yan looked up and saw a group of people approaching with fire discounts in front of them.
The leader was a short and stocky man. Even though he was wearing a large robe, the muscles in his arms were still clearly bulging.
The man hurriedly brought people closer. With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and apologized: "Brother Gu, please spare these guards."
"Brother Tao, it's not me. If you don’t give face, if someone points a bow and arrow at your home, will you be okay?”
Gu Fengfeng asked rhetorically.
There is no rule without rules. If this is not punished, the prestige of his ancient custom will inevitably be damaged.
He is not embarrassed personally, but he is embarrassed on behalf of the entire Gu family, so this matter cannot be taken lightly.
"Brother Gu, what are you talking about?"
Tao Gaochang, the leader of the Tao clan, has narrowed his small eyes.
He dropped the smile on his face.
But he did not dare to act rashly now, because the guards of the Gu family had arrived not far away.
This is an elite hundred-man team. After sealing this place, no one nearby can get through.
"Follow the rules and you will be punished as you deserve."
The ancient custom said.
Aboriginal councils also had established laws.
Ancient fashion means doing things according to the agreed laws.
But according to the law, the punishment for these people on Taolin Road is relatively severe.
"The previous laws have long been outdated. They were compiled by our ancestors. How can they be applied to the current laws? I think it is better to use the laws of Daqi. After all, we are still the people of Daqi."
Tao Gaochang said lightly.
Tao Gaochang's move is more clever.
You must follow one law, and it is definitely better to follow the law of Daqi.
Because after all, Daqi’s laws were compiled later and are much more merciful than the ancient laws of the indigenous people.
For example, if the crimes committed by Tao Linlu and others were punished according to the ancient law, it would be a punishment of three holes and nine swords. Such a punishment would definitely kill more than half of the person, because the meridians of the body are very likely to be severed. .
But according to Daqi law, you can spend a few years in prison, or use money and food to atone for your sins.
"Forget it, let's do it according to the laws of Daqi. It just so happens that the special envoy of the imperial court is here, let the special envoy make the decision."
The ancient custom immediately followed the good deeds.
Originally, he didn't want to kill Tao Linlu and others, but now that there was a step to go down, he took advantage of it.
Tao Gaochang also breathed a sigh of relief.
In ancient times, it was a good thing to relax.
