The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

But Song Zhennan and Lin Ruoqiao were not his soldiers, so even if he gave orders, they would not take it seriously.

Now, looking at these two people stubbornly standing in front of him, Gu Nanyuan was speechless for a moment.

"Gu Nanyuan, we are here to eliminate harm for the people, not to do petty thefts. Even if we lose our lives here today, it is a worthy death, and we have no regrets at this moment!"

Song Zhennan's words made everyone look at him.

Gu Nanyuan's personal guards also thought so, but they were different from Song Zhennan after all.

Gu Nanyuan had given the order, and they had to obey.

Lin Ruoqiao looked at Song Zhennan and felt strange.

Such righteous words just made her heart beat fast.

Although Song Zhennan had behaved very weak in front of her before, looking at Song Zhennan now, Lin Ruoqiao felt that he was not a weak person.

"Mr. Song is right, we have nothing to fear!"

Someone among the guards couldn't help but stand up and said, "Young General, Master Song is right. We are willing to stand with you!"

The personal guards around Gu Nanyuan were all selected by General Gu when he was a child.

Gu Nanyuan's feelings for these personal guards were beyond those of ordinary people.

After fighting side by side for so many years, they have long become brothers who share life and death!

On the battlefield, they can also completely turn their backs to each other.

But now they are asked to abandon Gu Nanyuan and escape alone, how can they be willing to do that?

When Gu Nanyuan heard this, he shook his head.

"I don't need your lives, what I want is for you to live well!"

Seeing that everyone wanted to say something, Gu Nanyuan raised his hand and interrupted them.

"I know what you are thinking, but I am staying here as a hostage, not to die."

"Besides, if I died in Magnolia Lane, I'm afraid no one would be at peace."

Gu Nanyuan glanced at the bearded man, who snorted lightly but did not deny what Gu Nanyuan said.

Gu Nanyuan's identity is special, so they really don't dare to take Gu Nanyuan's life.

After all, this person still has royal blood. If he died in their Magnolia Lane, not to mention him, even the people behind him would not be able to withstand the wrath of the current emperor.

Thinking of this, the bearded man's eyes flickered. Perhaps this situation will change in the future, after all, the emperor will also grow old one day.

Gu Nanyuan had no idea what the man was thinking, but when he saw the look in the man's eyes, he felt very unhappy.

But seeing so many brothers willing to share life and death with him, and advance and retreat together, he was still very happy in his heart.

But he was not overwhelmed by his emotion. The situation here was complicated now, and it would become a problem if more people stayed behind.

If he was left alone, it would be much easier for him to escape.

"Okay, I know your intentions and your loyalty. But now is not the time to talk about loyalty. If all of us stay here, I'm afraid the situation will get worse. Even if I want to get away in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."

Everyone wanted to refute, but when the words came to their lips, they didn't know how to start.

They didn't want to leave Gu Nanyuan here alone, but they had to admit that what Gu Nanyuan said made sense.

If all their people stayed here, the situation would be even worse.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should leave quickly. Young Master Song is seriously injured, so I have to ask you to send him to the clinic."

Gu Nanyuan patted his personal guards on the shoulders, as if handing Song Zhennan and Lin Ruoqiao over to them.

Everyone felt uncomfortable, but looking at Gu Nanyuan's expression, they finally nodded in agreement.

Gu Nanyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched everyone leaving.

Seeing this, the bearded man at the side couldn't help but ask, "General Gu is really brave. Aren't you really afraid that I will kill you?"

Gu Nanyuan glanced at the man, no longer cautious as before, but sat down calmly.

Seeing the bearded man's expression, he chuckled and asked, "Do you dare?"

Although Gu Nanyuan was smiling, that smile did not reach his eyes.

I just don't know who is his cousin behind this big beard...

Thinking of the things happening in the royal family, Gu Nanyuan's eyes turned a little colder.

He had warned him before that he must not interfere in the affairs of the royal family, especially the open and secret struggles between the emperors. In recent years, the emperor has grown older, and the princes are also getting older.

This also made the ambitions of several princes even greater. They did not conceal their means of winning over ministers in the capital, even though they had made such arrangements to cover it up.

Thinking of this, Gu Nanyuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"I'm curious, is it your eldest cousin or your second cousin who is backing you up?"

The bearded man had a smug look on his face just now, but when he heard Gu Nanyuan's words, the smile on his face froze.

But then he reacted and immediately restrained the expression on his face.

"General Gu is joking."

Gu Nanyuan snorted coldly, "I didn't say anything. No matter you slandered my Gu family in Jingzhao Prefecture before, or you imprisoned me here now, I'm afraid the master behind you can't wait any longer."

Upon hearing this, the bearded man's expression darkened.

"General Gu, please be careful with your words!"

Seeing the bearded man like this, Gu Nanyuan knew that he was right. But he couldn't guess whether it was done by the eldest prince or the second prince. He was able to take over the entire old city, which was really a great skill.

"Whether I am careful with my words or not depends on what you are going to do."

The bearded man looked at Gu Nanyuan for a long while, but did not say anything. Instead, he lowered his eyes and reminded: "General Gu Xiao, the person has left. Is it time for you to fulfill your promise?"

Gu Nanyuan didn't say anything, but looked at the bearded man coldly.

"You said my people have left safely, how can I guarantee that?"

The bearded man frowned, "What does General Gu want to do?"

Gu Nanyuan didn't say anything, but took out an exquisite hourglass from his arms.

This thing was given to him by Lin Ruoxuan before. He didn't expect that it would be useful here now.

"Wait, then."

The bearded man noticed that the hourglass was not very big, so he calculated the time carefully and did not refuse.

Everyone watched the hourglass fall over, and only then did Gu Nanyuan stand up.

The people following the bearded man looked at Gu Nanyuan cautiously. After all, Gu Nanyuan had shown no mercy when he attacked just now.

More than half of their people were killed or wounded. If it weren't for their large number of people, they would have been doomed today.

They have to be on guard against people like Gu Nanyuan.
