Hope for luck

Chapter 367 Moths to the flame
"Fifth brother, you're fine, that's great!"

In the camp outside the city, Gao Guangcheng and Gao Guanglu who had just met Gao Pan were very happy.

Especially Gao Guangcheng, who has been guarding the border outside, rarely goes home, and has not seen Gao Pan for a long time.

It was also the first time for Gao Pan to see the eldest son of the Gao family, who was also his cousin. In his memory, the impression of Gao Guangcheng was very shallow, or even non-existent.

When he saw Gao Guangcheng's majestic appearance, a suit of armor, and a spear in his hand, Gao Pan couldn't help but admire in his heart, what a young general.

The Gao family has descendants like Gao Guangcheng, so why worry about the family being unhappy?

Previously, Gao Pan had a bad impression of the members of the Gao family, and at one point, based on the situation of the four Gao Qiyuan brothers, he came to a conclusion that the Gao family would inevitably fall.

It can be seen that after seeing Gao Guangcheng, Gao Pan completely dismissed this idea. Based on his first impression of Gao Guangcheng, he only felt that Gao Guangcheng would be a general in the future, and it was very likely that he would be a general like a wolf.

What made Gao Pan even more surprised was that Gao Guangcheng's attitude towards him was very intimate and enthusiastic, like a brother, just like Gao Pan's first meeting with Gao Ruoqian, Gao Pan was a little 'flattered'.

"Brother, I am so lucky to see you, and third brother, you are all galloping on the battlefield, my Gao family's ancestors are famous, and there are successors!"

Hearing Gao Pan's words, Gao Guangcheng was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Gao Guanglu, then took Gao Pan's arm and said:
"Fifth brother, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that what the third brother said was false. When I saw you today, the fifth brother really got enlightened. That's great!"

The three brothers seemed to be very respectful, but Gao Qiyin frowned and stared at Gao Pan, directly interrupting the intimacy between the three:
"Okay, Gao Pan, tell me why you survived from the city safely?"

The three of Gao Pan were stunned by this remark. Gao Pan reacted first, and hurriedly greeted Gao Qi with a bank salute. Just when he came in, he only remembered talking to Gao Guangcheng and Gao Guanglu, and forgot the most important Gao Qiyin.

It's not that Gao Pan can't remember Gao Qiyin, it's that Gao Guangcheng feels too special to him, which overturns his previous view of the Gao family, so he doesn't pay attention to Gao Qiyin.

Hearing Gao Qiyin's doubts, Gao Pan understood that firstly Gao Qiyin was suspicious of Gao Pan, and secondly because Gao Pan didn't pay any attention to his second uncle from the beginning to the end, so his tone seemed a little heavy.

"Second uncle, I can live. It's a long story. Now is not the time to talk about this. My nephew just wants to ask you, uncle, to stop the siege!"

Gao Pan's words not only made Gao Qiyin very dissatisfied, but also Gao Guangcheng and Gao Guanglu were a little puzzled.

Gao Guangcheng took the conversation and asked:

"Fifth brother, what do you mean by that? Why can't you attack the city? I heard that the leader of the rebels is in the city, and capturing her is a great achievement!"

Gao Qiyin was not so easy to talk, he opened his eyes wide and asked directly:
"Gao Pan, have you become a rebel? Otherwise, why didn't they kill you, instead sent you out of the city? Just to keep us from attacking the city, right?"

As he said that, Gao Qiyin became more and more annoyed:

"What a bastard! Even if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and temporarily surrender to the rebels, but at this moment, the imperial army has arrived, you should turn against each other. Now there is still time for you to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. It just happens to be a plan to take down the leader of the rebels, otherwise , you don’t even want to go back!”

After hearing the words of Gao Guangcheng and Gao Qiyin, Gao Pan's heart trembled slightly. Even though he had been prepared for a long time, the two of them were so firm that Gao Pan was terrified.

Thinking that Ning Yan is going to die, Gao Pan is full of determination. He knows that this is a knot, but he is still willing to try to open it and end it satisfactorily.

Gao Pan forgot how he felt when he first returned to Dantang County and met Ning Yan.

At that time, Gao Pan was always alert to himself, and understood that Ning Yan was a pink skull, a woman with a bad face, and if she got on it, she would definitely burn herself.

The current Gao Pan just fulfilled his feelings, Ning Yan is a ball of fire, and Gao Pan is a desperate 'moth'.

"Second Uncle, have you forgotten how Second Brother returned to Beijing from Dantang County in a hurry? The leader of the rebels is indeed in the city, but as long as she reveals the news, all of our Gao family will be beheaded !"

In order to stabilize Gao Qiyin, Gao Pan had no choice but to lie. He did this to protect Ning Yan.

After Gao Qiyin heard this, his complexion changed drastically, and he looked at Gao Pan tremblingly and said:
"You mean, she holds the evidence of our family's rebellion? If so, we should attack the city and take her down. Only in this way can the hidden danger be eliminated!"

Gao Pan shook his head:
"Second uncle, your thinking is too simple. The emperor will not only believe what our Gao family said, but he may even believe what the rebels say!"

These words made Gao Qiyin almost unable to stand still, Gao Qiyin naturally understood the meaning behind Gao Pan's words.

Even if they personally capture the leader of the rebels, in the eyes of Emperor Tianfeng, their Gao family may no longer be trusted, and they may settle accounts later in the fall.

After calming down, Gao Qiyin stared at Gao Pan and asked:

"In that case, what are you going to do?"

Gao Pan looked at Gao Qiyuan, as well as Gao Guangcheng and Gao Guanglu, and then said sincerely:
"Second uncle, eldest brother and third brother, please trust me, I can guarantee that our Gao family will never be implicated, but the premise is that you don't attack the city for the time being, is that okay?"

Gao Qiyin looked at Gao Pan quietly, and carefully observed the changes in Gao Pan's face. What surprised him was that Gao Pan's expression had not changed, and was sincere enough.

Gao Guangcheng saw something.His face changed slightly, he restrained what he wanted to say, and stared at Gao Pan.

"Okay, as long as you can do what you say, if the situation is out of control, don't blame the second uncle for being ruthless!"

Gao Qiyin finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Gao Pan's request.

This made Gao Pan breathe a sigh of relief. As long as Gao Qiyin didn't attack the city first, he would still have a chance to maneuver.

"Thank you, Second Uncle, for believing in my nephew. My nephew will definitely not disappoint you. Just wait for my good news!"

Gao Pan saluted Gao Qiyin respectfully.

Gao Qiyin waved his hands and said coldly:
"Forget it, I will give you half a month at most. If you still can't solve the problem within half a month, I will have to order the siege. If people find out, we will besiege here and not attack, and they will be punished!"

After Gao Pan heard this, he felt a little happy in his heart. Gao Qiyin gave him half a month back, and Gao Pan felt that this was enough. Next, it was time for him to turn the tide!
