Chapter 234 Recognition!
"???"
Are you so jumpy? You were just teaching me a lesson, why are you making me confess now?
The two of them shut up immediately.
"..."
Gu Jingzhi rolled his eyes and stood up. "Even if you don't tell me, I know who it is. The person who can make Ningzhou Gu work for him must be that orphan from Yun Country!"
"you……"
The two men looked horrified. They looked at Gu Jingzhi, but saw that Gu Jingzhi left without any reaction!
……
The next day.
Gu Jingzhi got up early and then came to Nanshan outside the city under the escort of the guards!
On top of Nanshan Mountain is the ancestral tomb of the Gu family.
When the auspicious time arrived, the invited craftsmen began to break ground. As the tombstone of Gu Jingzhi's grandfather Gu Shun was erected, Gu Jingzhi glanced at Liu Sandao, then knelt on the ground without saying a word.
At the foot of the mountain, in a carriage.
The brother and sister from Lianyunzhai were feeling a little uneasy as they sat in the car.
"Brother, why did he bring us here? Isn't he going to execute us today?"
"Sister, this matter has not been concluded yet, I don't know!"
The second leader sighed and said, "Sister, I've been thinking about what he said these days. Do you think we are really wrong?"
"I……"
The head of the village hesitated slightly and said, "I admit that what he said makes sense, but our family was in such a state back then. Even the Lin family was treated like that. Who else can give us justice?"
"But sister! What that person said... can definitely be done?"
The second leader was somewhat melancholy. He said, "We have been in Ningzhou for over ten years and have only suffered two losses. Of these two times, one severely damaged our vitality, and the other directly destroyed our Lianyun Village!"
"After all, our family has fallen on hard times. We haven't even inherited a fraction of the family's inherited skills. What use do you think we siblings are to that person?"
"Revitalize the family… Can we really restore the family's former glory with what we have now?"
"This……"
The head of the village said in a complicated tone, "Brother, revitalizing the family is indeed important, but that's not what I'm thinking about. In my opinion, as long as we can get revenge, that's all that matters!"
"As you said, only one tenth of our family heritage remains. We simply don't have the ability to revive our family!"
"Ugh……"
"It's a pity that we are now imprisoned, and revenge has become a luxury."
While the brother and sister were talking, Liu Sandao pulled back the carriage curtains and said, "What are you talking about? The Marquis wants you to pass through!"
"???"
The brother and sister were completely stunned. Let them pass...what were they going to do?
"Okay, stop dawdling and come down quickly!"
Liu Sandao had a fierce look on his face.
After the brother and sister got off the car, they took a look outside and said in surprise, "Isn't this Nanshan?"
"Go up! The Marquis is waiting for you up there!"
"Wait for us?"
The two men looked at the mountain road filled with soldiers standing guard every ten steps, and their hearts were pounding.
"Sister, sister...are they going to disturb the Gu family's ancestral tomb?"
"What?"
The village chief looked up and saw that there were indeed craftsmen working on the tomb. Her face immediately changed and she rushed towards the mountain path: "We must not let them destroy our ancestral tomb!"
The two of them sped up and ran towards the mountain, but when they just ran to Gu Jingzhi, they saw him kneeling calmly on the ground!
Gu Jingzhi said softly without turning his head: "Kneel down!"
The two were stunned when they heard this, and then looked at the tall stone tablet.
"The late Duke of Ningguo of Great Xia, Duke Shun of the Gu family..."
This is this...
"thump!"
The two of them knelt beside Gu Jingzhi in a daze, their eyes full of reminiscence.
I wanted to ask Gu Jingzhi what was going on, but seeing his silence, I knew now was not the time.
Gu Shun was buried together with Gu Jingzhi's grandmother, and next to him were the three Gu brothers... Gu Jingzhi's biological father was also among them, and there was a smaller one with the name of Gu Minzhi, the eldest grandson of the Gu family.
"Engrave your names on the monument!"
Gu Jingzhi just said it lightly.
The two were stunned when they heard this.
"You already knew our identities?"
"That military order has been around for so many years, and there's not a single rust on it. You've played with it until it's become patinaed. If you weren't a member of the Gu family, no outsider would do this!"
"..."
Got it!
It seems that they have known about it for a long time, but have just let the two siblings go.
But who is this person in front of me? Why is he kneeling here?
Could it be...
The two of them seemed to have thought of something, and they used their hands and feet to quickly crawl to the tombstone...
In the column of descendants, they saw a name that they saw for the first time... but it was not unfamiliar to them at all!
Gu Jingzhi...
This is the name format of their generation among the descendants of the Gu family, and this is also the origin of their familiarity with this name.
"You, you, you belong to Third Uncle..."
The two turned around and looked at Gu Jingzhi, with indescribable surprise in their eyes.
Gu Jingzhi said calmly: "Let's talk about this later, let's finish the business first!"
"Ok!"
The two of them burst into tears in an instant, and then carved their names on the stone tablet bit by bit.
Gu Jingzhi looked at the two names.
Gu Yunzhi...
Gu Huanzhi...
……
Ancient burials were important rituals. After going through complicated etiquette, Gu Jingzhi led his men back to Ningzhou Prefecture.
He brought Gu Yunzhi and Gu Huanzhi, brother and sister, to the tea room.
After the servants served tea, Gu Jingzhi dismissed all the servants. He then looked at Gu Yunzhi and said, "You are older, so you should know the origin of my identity!"
"Ok!"
Gu Yunzhi nodded: "I have heard the elders mention the matter of Third Uncle and Third Aunt, but my second brother and I thought you were gone!"
"Zhao Zhongli and Gu Heng's family have surrendered. The revenge for the Gu family has been avenged! The news that you were not killed was also learned from Zhao Zhongli!"
"That's why I'm so sure of your identities!"
"only……"
Gu Jingzhi looked at the two of them coldly: "Since you are still alive, why did you do such a shameful thing?"
Gu Jingzhi's sudden change in aura made the two of them dare not utter a word!
If it were before, they might not have any burden, but now that they know Gu Jingzhi's identity, they dare not do so anymore.
Gu Yunzhi lowered his head and said, "We didn't know that Third... Third Brother, you were alive and had achieved what you have today. If we knew, we wouldn't..."
"Not what? Not going to become a bandit?"
Gu Jingzhi angrily said, "Do you know what kind of punishment you will face? Gathering in the mountains and forests to endanger the people, secretly storing armor and weapons, this is a serious crime of treason!"
"Because of you, Ningzhou has become like this. How can you face the ancestors of the Gu family?"
"Even if we, the descendants of the Gu family, are reduced to poverty and live in the countryside, we will never become bandits!"
"I, we..."
The two of them lowered their heads in shame.
Gu Huanzhi gritted his teeth and said, "We are the ones who have tarnished the Gu family's reputation. We acknowledge all the sins. However, my eldest sister is only a woman. Third brother, for the sake of our shared Gu family bloodline, please be lenient. I will bear all the blame!"
"Second brother, you can't..."
