After being forced to marry the prince

Chu Wu ignored his rudeness, followed his line of sight and landed on a child in the crowd.

Chu Wu had seen that child before, and he was one of the two children who were brought up to be adopted by Gu Baiji.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Yuan became more courageous, and went to "My lord, since we are all relatives, I don't know when Xiaomin will have this opportunity to invite the lord..."

Chu Wu interrupted him, "Get out!"

Gu Yuan was startled, for a moment, he actually felt that the eyes of this seemingly harmless embroidered prince made people tremble with fear from the bottom of his heart.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to get out?" Seeing that he didn't move, Qi Le scolded, "Don't blame me for being rude with the long sword in my hand if you don't leave."

Really, if it weren't for the fact that he is the general's cousin, he would have stabbed him with a sword.

"Yes." Gu Yuan nodded repeatedly, not daring to say anything more, and hurriedly withdrew.

Chu Wu turned his head, looked at Gu Baiji in the crowd, and then at the child, his face became slightly solemn.

"Chen Qi." Chu Wu ordered in a low voice, "Go and see what other children are there just now, and keep an eye on them. I'm worried that they will do something to the general through the sacrifice."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi nodded quickly and ran out.

"My lord." Qi Le was a little surprised, "You mean that person just now wanted to frame the general? Isn't that a little too bold?"

Even cousins, one citizen and one official, don't they need civilians?

Chu Wudao: "He dared to run here, what do you think?"

Chu Wu thought about it, but he was still a little worried, and told Qi Le, "You should pay attention to the things the general has touched in a while, and if there is any accident in any link, bring them to me immediately."

Qi Le nodded hurriedly.

Gu Baiji is currently the person with the highest status in the whole family. If he is unwilling to adopt him, then the whole family can do nothing to him, but if there is some movement during the sacrifice, and the ancestors are carried out, it will not mean much same.And just now that Gu Yuan's words were so firm, I'm afraid he really had such an idea.

Soon, the sacrificial offerings began, including offering incense, reading Zhuwen, offering rice soup, serving tea, offering wine, offering food boxes, offering blessings, burning Zhuwen, and bowing to gods. One of the links was arranged by the sacrifices. According to the seniority, the descendants of the descendants will kneel down to the ancestors' gods in turn, make a libation, and burn them to be valuable.

There were no problems with the previous steps, but when it was Gu Baiji's turn, the paper money couldn't be ignited.

Everyone was shocked, and then they heard the sacrificial priest sing: "The children and grandchildren's behavior is against their wishes, and the elders are unwilling to accept money."

Then without waiting for Gu Baiji to open his mouth, he pointed at a child in the crowd and continued to sing: "The child is careful but sincere. I would like to give paper money to my uncle."

Hearing that he was being called, the child stepped forward cautiously, reaching out to take the paper money in Gu Baiji's hand.

Gu Baiji still couldn't understand anything at this time, he just couldn't imagine that these people were so bold that they dared to count him before the ancestor's spiritual position.

He didn't say anything at the moment, handed the paper money to the child, got up and watched these people tossing about.

That brat was probably just frightened by Gu Baiji before, his hands trembled a little, he rubbed the paper money on his hands, and just now he uncovered one by one, put them into the brazier, and then saw the paper money ignited .

This time the bystanders completely exploded, and suddenly there was a discussion.

The old god of sacrificial life sang in Zai: "It is hard to disobey God's will."

Patriarch Gu Conglin also trembled, stomping on his crutches and said, "God's will, Zaochu, this is the old ancestor who saw that you were destined to be childless in this life, so he sent you a child."

Gu Yuan offered money excitedly, pulling the child to make him kneel in front of Gu Baiji, "Son, call daddy."

"Wait." Gu Baiji raised his foot to stop the child from kneeling down, looked at the others with a sneer and said, "What if I disagree?"

"This..." Sacrifice probably didn't get the script for his reaction, so he was stunned for a moment, but then said quickly, "The general and this child are the father-son fate established by the ancestors, how can we violate it?"

The people next to him were obviously taken aback. They were already looking at Gu Yuan's family enviously, but after hearing Gu Baiji's words, they were a little confused. After all, the ancestor was the biggest, and they couldn't help but criticize.

"How can you be unwilling? This is the fate of father and son arranged by the ancestors."

"That's right, don't look down on us clansmen just because you became a general?"

"Ancestor's order?" Gu Baiji looked at Gu Conglin, and sneered, "If the ancestors know that you, the descendants of future generations, are pretending to be gods and ghosts here in their name, I'm afraid the coffin boards will be lifted in anger!"

"Gu Zaochu." Gu Xiang said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Did I say something wrong?" Gu Baiji glanced around at the clansmen wearing exquisite clothes, and mocked, "Sacrifice is to express the memory of ancestors and ancestors, if the heart is not sincere, it is just a carnival of living people That's all."

"Gu Zaochu, don't scream blood!" Gu Yuan said angrily, "Show evidence if you have the ability."

He said it easily, obviously because he was sure that the paper money had already been burned, "Now the whole family members are here to testify, you Gu Baiji insists on your own identity, ignoring the wishes of your ancestors."

Just here, a clear voice interrupted the stalemate of the crowd.

"There is evidence." Chu Wu walked over slowly, and said to Gu Baiji, "General, can you leave this matter to me?"

Gu Baiji nodded without hesitation, "You can do whatever you want, and I'll be here if you need something."

"Gu Zaochu." Seeing Chu Wu's calm appearance, Gu Xiang panicked immediately, and said indiscriminately, "This is the Gu family's business, how can you let an outsider talk nonsense?"

"Outsider?" Gu Baiji's tone sank, "Uncle be careful, the marriage between me and the prince is a marriage bestowed by His Majesty, and I have worshiped the marriage of heaven and earth. If you talk nonsense, be careful of committing the crime of disrespect."

Gu Xiang was taken aback when he heard the words, and murmured, "My lord, old... I don't mean that."

Chu Wu didn't care what he meant, and directly called Qi Le to order: "Take my warrant and go to the county government, and say that there are people here pretending to be ghosts and slandering the reputation of the general."

"Yes." Qi Le turned and left.

"Wang... lord..." Gu Yuan's face was pale, and he was a little scared, "What do you mean, who do you want to arrest?"

Chu Wu didn't answer him, but turned to Gu Baiji and said, "It's a simple trick, it's just a potion made with some special medicinal materials."

He picked up a stack of paper money and put one in the brazier first. The paper money quickly ignited.

"Zaochu." Gu Conglin said angrily, "You just let him mess around at the ancestral sacrifice?"

"Nonsense?" Gu Baiji said expressionlessly, "Didn't you start it first? This is playing me like a fool in front of my ancestors."

Then everyone saw that Chu Wu picked up a few pieces of paper money, soaked them in the potion brought by Chen Qiduan, and put them on the brazier aside to dry, then Chu Wu put them back into the brazier again.

Then, everyone was surprised to find that the piece of paper money remained unchanged in the flames.

Now that there is still something they don't understand, the eyes of the Gu family members looking at the patriarch and Gu Yuan have changed.

"This..." Gu Xiang became anxious, turned to the patriarch and said urgently, "Uncle, think of a way, our Gu clan will be ashamed if this continues."

"Zaochu." Gu Conglin said, "Do you really want to do this? Don't forget that your surname is also Gu, and they have no malicious intentions, they just hope to leave you with a successor."

"Yes, Zaochu." Other elders followed suit, "We're all one family, so it's a little inhumane for you to do this."
