He couldn't help but sigh. Niu Youde had really taken up too much of everyone's energy. What was even more unexpected was that he would actually cause such a big incident. Now that this matter had been resolved, let alone him, even Kou Lingxu was relieved. Even Kou Zheng was no exception when he thought about it.
So it was like this. Kou Zheng understood and understood. Everyone was helpless and said in a muffled voice, "If I had known …" He didn't finish his sentence. Why did they have to fight so fiercely in the first place? Now, even his own son was dragged into this.
Tang Henian smiled bitterly. He only had one son. Now that he was gone, anyone would feel bad. It was not easy to comfort him.
In the end, Kou Lingxu, who had been silent all this time, spoke, "Wenbai sacrificed himself for the Kou Clan. Let Chuchu have another child. This Prince will allow you and your wife to have two more sons."
Kou Zheng lowered his head sadly, "I don't know how to explain this to Chuchu."
The hall was silent. One could imagine how sad Sui Chuchu would be when she heard the news. Even Kou Lingxu had a headache. After all, she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Kou Clan.
"Old Tang!" Kou Lingxu took a deep breath. "Find a suitable opportunity to talk to Chuchu's parents. Tell them that this Prince said that Chuchu will be the matriarch of the Kou Family in the future. There are some sacrifices that must be made. Let them persuade their daughter." There were some words that couldn't be said here, so it might be better to let Sui Chuchu's paternal family persuade her.
Even Kou Zheng was moved. Sui Chuchu was going to be the matriarch of the Kou Clan. This meant that he would be the Patriarch of the Kou Clan in the future. His father had made a promise in front of him. As long as there were no accidents, he would not go back on his word.
Tang Henian naturally understood the meaning of these words. He glanced at Kou Zheng's reaction and bowed slightly, "Yes!"
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared outside the hall and reported loudly, "Your Highness, the Supervisor of the Right, Gao Guan, has ignored the obstruction of the troops outside and led his men here with the Dragon Order."
Tang Henian immediately added, "They should be here for the spy of the Right Monitor."
"Oh!" Kou Lingxu, who was looking outside the hall, chuckled, "Gao Guan has come personally. It seems that he has come with ill intentions. Let's go, this Prince will go meet him personally. "
The Cold Magistrate had come looking for him. He had to come personally. The rest of the Kou family could not stand up to the Sky Emperor's loyal lackeys.
The people outside the hall quickly moved to the side. Kou Lingxu walked out of the hall with a majestic aura. Kou Zheng and Tang Henian followed behind him on both sides.
A group of people descended from the sky, landing outside the majestic gate of Kou Manor.
The leader was Gao Guan. He wore a tall black hat and a black cloak that fluttered in the wind. His stiff and expressionless face slowly lifted. He glanced at the plaque hanging on the lintel of the main door. Then, he waved his hand to fling the cloak that hindered him and strode up the stairs.
Two groups of people followed behind him. There were at least a hundred of them, and they all wore black hats with gold embroidered with clouds, black coats with gold edges, and jade belts around their waists.
A group of people rushed out from under the tall lintel and blocked the entrance. Two people walked out side by side, leading the way. Both of them raised their hands to stop him and shouted in unison, "Halt!"
Gao Guan did not stop as he walked up the stairs. He continued to walk forward expressionlessly.
The entourage behind Gao Guan glanced coldly at the entrance. He did not see the Kou family's master coming out to greet the guests. He did not believe that the Kou family would not know that Gao Guan had led his people to barge in. With Gao Guan's status, there should be a high-ranking member of the Kou family coming out to greet him. However, there was no one. It was obvious that they were deliberately trying to embarrass Gao Guan.
Seeing that Gao Guan had no intention of stopping, the two people at the entrance shouted again, "Halt! Let's report first …"
Gao Guan did not even turn his head as he strode forward. Suddenly, he reached behind him and grabbed the sword on the waist of his entourage. "Clang …" The sword was unsheathed and his elbow swept across. There was a flash of cold light, and two flowers of blood appeared.
The two people blocking in front of him had not finished their words. The sound of the sword being unsheathed was still echoing in the air. Two heads had already flown into the air.
"Clang …" Gao Guan pulled back his sword. The sword in his hand flashed behind him, and the sword was already back in the scabbard on the waist of his entourage.
The two men who had their heads separated from their bodies did not even have the time to fall. The blood on their necks shot up into the sky. The speed of the sword was too fast. It was so fast that the two of them could not react in time. No one expected that Gao Guan would dare to kill people in front of the Kou Heavenly King's residence without saying a word.
The entourage behind Gao Guan quickly rushed forward and blocked the blood that was spurting out, preventing it from staining Gao Guan's body. At the same time, he pushed the two corpses that did not have the time to fall to the left and right to prevent them from blocking the way.
The sword was unsheathed and returned to its scabbard as smoothly as moving clouds and flowing water. It was so clean and efficient that it made people's hair stand on end. It was clear that Emissary Gao did not have the slightest hesitation in killing the people of the Kou Clan. He did not put the Kou Residence in his eyes at all. The other people guarding the entrance were frightened. Without any orders, no one dared to make a move on Emissary Gao. Similarly, without any orders, no one dared to step aside. A group of people still stood in front of Gao Guan, but as Gao Guan advanced, they quickly retreated and brandished their weapons.
Someone quickly turned around and ran into the residence to report. Soon, the entire Kou Residence was filled with armored soldiers. It immediately startled the entire Kou Residence. Almost everyone ran out to see what was going on, wanting to know what was going on.
In front of a moon gate, a group of Kou Clan's womenfolk quickly gathered. They were all staring at Gao Guan, who was leading his troops straight into the square of the front hall. The row of Kou Residence's men who were forced to retreat all the way in front of Gao Guan made the womenfolk shudder in fear.
The entire Kou Residence suddenly turned to this side, and they heard that all the people in the world were being mobilized. There were already rumors that their Highness was going to rebel!
And now, seeing Gao Guan personally arriving with so many people, and seeing such a scene where even their weapons were pointed at Gao Guan, the womenfolk were even more shocked. Some of them could not help but suspect that Gao Guan was a close official of the Sky Emperor. Could it be that Gao Guan was here to capture their Highness?
These womenfolk, who usually lived a luxurious life without any worries, were indeed frightened when they saw such a serious scene. Only now did they realize what would happen to them if their Highness was taken away by Gao Guan? Without their Highness to command the northern army, who would still care about them? And the fate of the womenfolk of the traitors was even more unbearable. Even if they did not die, their fates were no better than those prostitutes. Everyone wanted to taste the taste of a fallen phoenix.
In the past, some of these womenfolk were still resentful of their Highness for marrying off their daughters. But at this moment, they realized that nothing was more important than the Kou Clan's continued existence.
"What's going on?" Some of the more timid concubines could not help but whisper to the people around them.
Yun Zhiqiu, who arrived later, also appeared among the group of womenfolk. She walked up to Sui Chuchu, Ruan Jing, and Shu Huan's mother and asked in surprise, "My three sisters-in-law, what's going on?"
"I don't know." The three women shook their heads with worried looks on their faces.
Chu Jian, Kou Qian's husband, was also the Chief Imperial Guard of Kou Manor. He had donned a set of bright red battle armor and was holding a long spear in his hand, pointing it diagonally to the ground. He strode towards the tall hat with a stern face. Behind him, hundreds of armored soldiers marched forward with swords and spears in their hands.
For a moment, the entire square was filled with the clattering of armor. The atmosphere was so oppressive that not even the air dared to move.
This scene made many of the womenfolk turn pale and hold their breaths, especially Kou Qian, who did not live in the Kou Clan for long. She could not help but bite her lip when she saw her husband leading the troops. She knew very well what kind of person Gao Guan was. To be able to become a close minister of the Sky Emperor and the commander of the Right Division, his strength was definitely not weak. Against such a person, her husband might not have a chance of winning, but she could not stop her husband from taking such a risk. She knew very well that her husband's role was to protect the Kou Clan with his life. From the day he married her, her husband could not shake off this mission. This was also the reason why her father made Chu Jian the captain of the imperial guards.
On the other side, Kou Qin and Kou Mian had already asked what was going on. The two of them landed in the middle of the two approaching troops, their faces filled with anger.
Facing the approaching Gao Guan, Kou Qin waved his finger and shouted, "Gao Guan, who gave you the right to kill the people of my Kou Clan?!"
But Gao Guan still didn't stop. He simply ignored the two people who had appeared and only stared at the large group of people behind them. He waved his hand and revealed the 'Dragon Order' in his hand. His indifferent voice slowly echoed, "Those who block me, kill!"
With a sudden clatter, the hundreds of followers immediately took out their weapons and quickly formed a battle formation behind him. They followed Gao Guan and continued to push forward.
"Stop! All of you, stand down! " Just when the battle was about to break out, Kou Lingxu's majestic voice resounded in the sky above the Kou Clan's residence.
Chu Jian immediately held his spear horizontally. The troops behind him immediately stopped. It was as if they were moving like rabbits and as quiet as a virgin.
Chu Jian waved his hand, and the troops behind him immediately parted to two sides, forming two neat rows.
The row of people in front of Gao Guan's advance also quickly parted to two sides, revealing Kou Qin and Kou Mian at the back. The two of them still stood there coldly. Kou Mian raised his palm and signaled for them to stop.
Gao Guan put away the token in his hand with a flip of his hand, but he did not stop there. He waved his arm and pushed Kou Mian's outstretched arm to the side. Then, he placed his palm on Kou Qin's face and pushed him away, forcing Kou Qin to stagger backward. He separated the two brothers in an instant and led the troops behind him to continue advancing.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two brothers, as the sons of the Heavenly King, did not want to weaken the Kou Clan's momentum. Who would have thought that they would be humiliated by Gao Guan in front of everyone? Gao Guan threw the two of them aside and passed by without even looking at them.
The troops of the Right Monitoring Division advanced through the path that the Kou Clan's troops had created. Gao Guan led the way. That iconic black tall hat and the black cloak that fluttered with every step he took made him stand out in the crowd.
The troops of the Kou Clan lined up on both sides to monitor them.
On the steps in front of the palace, three people walked down unhurriedly. Kou Lingxu was in front. As he walked, he looked down coldly at Gao Guan, who was leading the troops.
