A vigorous trial of public opinion immediately gave new life to the three states under Meng Yan's rule. However, this approach made other forces feel threatened. The word "trial of public opinion" changed the history of the Central Plains for thousands of years.

The class structure began to spread across the Central Plains like a flame.

In Hengyang City, a tipsy young man stood on the top of the city. He was nearly seven feet tall, wearing a purple robe embroidered with green patterns and a black cloak. The white jade belt around his waist showed that he was from a top family.

White deerskin boots. The black hair is combed into a neat bun on the top of the head, set in an exquisite white jade crown, with light green silk crowns hanging from both sides of the jade crown. This is the character in "The Three Young Masters of the Gu Family"

Wen Shao Gu Yanfeng.

"Citizen Situation Monitoring? Good idea, good stuff, but I don't know whether you are a good person who really benefits the people or a person who is just trying to gain fame." Gu Yanfeng said to himself.

"Sixteenth Lang, the letter from the head of the family has arrived. Zhaoling has been lost, Silang is stationed in Lincheng, and Qilang is missing after being captured. If you don't go back, I'm afraid there will be chaos at home." Gu Yanfeng's personal guard is also a member of the Gu family's side house.

His disciple Gu Sheng said from the shadow behind him.

"Go home? Zhaoling has been lost. Meng Yan has occupied Gogying Ridge. Xiao Yu also wants a share of the pie. Does Brother Sheng think we can still go back?" Gu Yanfeng's words were full of vicissitudes of life.

Gu Sheng bit his lip and said: "Sixteenth Lang, you are our family's last hope. As long as you are willing to risk your life, I will send you back to Star City!"

"Brother Sheng, I know that our Gu family has a secret camp, which was established by Brother Qi. But now that Brother Qi is captured, is this secret camp really secret? What if I are sent back to Star City? What if I talk to the court again?

Join forces? Or join forces with the Zhuo family?" Gu Yanfeng had almost no fighting spirit.

"Sixteenth Master, are you saying that our Gu family is finished?" Gu Sheng staggered and could hardly stand. The Gu family, a majestic millennium-old Xingtan family, and even a martial arts master, are now forced to this point. You, the third uncle, killed you back then.

When I was studying Montessori in Shaozhou, did I think of the current situation?

"Brother Sheng, since the fall of Cangying Ridge, I have racked my brains and calculated for several days, but I really can't think of any good solution. Meng Yan has never made a large-scale march into Hengyang. In fact, he is just teasing people's hearts. Now the people of Hengyang City are still

How many people don't know the story of Baoqing City's 'Public Sentiment Trial'?" Gu Yanfeng walked down the steps slowly, leaning against the tower and enjoying the cool breeze. He looked like he had a desolate feeling behind his back.

"There are still 50,000 strong soldiers in Hengyang, there are still 70,000 troops at Lincheng Shilang's place, and there are 50,000 elite soldiers from my Gu family in Xingzhou and Liling. Do they not even have the ability to fight?" Gu

Sheng didn't want to believe that a thousand-year-old business had collapsed.

"Brother Sheng, the so-called war is nothing more than the right time, the right place, the right people, and the generals and commanders. Now, compared with Meng Yan, I don't have a single favorable condition. Hengyang's mountains and rivers are a natural granary, but last year the fourth brother was transferred

We have lost all the food in Hengyang, and now that spring plowing is around the corner, it is difficult for our Hengyang treasury to even collect the seeds for spring plowing. On the other hand, the continuous supply of food in Mengyannan is the right time." Speaking of the hatred in Gu Yanfeng's heart, he

Why we are trapped in Hengyang is entirely the fault of this fourth brother. On that day, he did not agree with the fourth brother's transfer of all the food in Hengyang, and there were many fights in the clan. However, what happened that day was that the seventh brother succeeded in assassinating everyone.

Prefer Gu Qufeng.

"I can lead people to collect food. As long as we make it to Hengyang, we will be saved!" Gu Sheng was a little impulsive.

Gu Yanfeng raised his hand to stop Gu Sheng's impulsiveness and said: "This is the reconciliation. If you do this, we Gu family members will be tied up by the people of Hengyang and sent to Meng Yan's tent tomorrow."

"How dare they!" Gu Sheng said angrily.

"You cut off people's living food, why don't they dare? The Gu family has suppressed many civil unrests for thousands of years. How many corpses have been buried in the twelve states of Xingtan. Take the Meng family in Shaozhou as an example. If

Do you think the Meng family would be defeated if they hadn't joined forces with the imperial court? He, Meng Yan, is a master at using people's hearts. The Gu family has no fear in the hearts of the people in the twelve states of Xingtan. This is harmony!" Gu Yanfeng raised his head and said

The wine in the pot was drained in one gulp.

Gu Sheng's face turned pale and he could not utter a word to refute. Gu Yanfeng took a deep breath and said: "Zhaoling has been lost, Cangying Ridge is not here, Xiao Yu's threat, both Hengyang and Lincheng are already dead. This

It’s just the right location! The right time and place are right for us and we don’t take advantage of them, so our defeat is certain!”

"Sirius Lang, you don't want to offer the city, do you?" Gu Sheng suddenly looked at Gu Yanfeng warily. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Yes, the fourth brother sent a letter on the day Cangying Ridge was lost. He and Xiao Yu have already negotiated terms and are ready to dedicate Lincheng." Gu Yanfeng said calmly.

"So you think so, Shirokuro, right? The person you asked me to pick up from outside the city two days ago is Xiao Yu's envoy?" Gu Sheng suddenly realized.

"Yes, Xiao Yu's envoy has arrived, but Meng Yan's envoy has also arrived." Gu Yanfeng did not hide anything from Gu Sheng.

"Aren't they all from the Chen Dynasty? Could it be..." Gu Sheng asked doubtfully, but he understood in an instant that this was a common occurrence among big families. Then he shook his head and refused and said: "Sixteenth Master, Xiao Yu

Maybe it’s the best choice, but Meng Yan can’t do it.”

"I chose Meng Yan." Gu Yanfeng said softly, but for Gu Sheng, it was like a bolt from the blue.

"Why?! Meng Yan has a family feud with my Gu family." Gu Sheng asked in confusion. Gu Sheng could not understand why Gu Yanfeng would choose Meng Yan, but Gu Sheng knew that he must have his reasons.

Yan Feng is famous among the younger generation of the Gu family for his wisdom and would never make such seemingly stupid decisions.

"Zhuo Bailing, equality!" Gu Yanfeng said firmly.

Gu Sheng pondered. It was not that he didn't understand the meaning. It was just the name that made him hesitate. Zhuo Bailing was a brother from the side house. The Zhuo family only reused him because of his abilities, and his status in the clan was not high.

High, and since Zhuo Bailing surrendered to Meng Yan, not only can he freely exert himself, but he has also become the third-ranking governor of the Western Conquest.

The most critical thing is the word "equality". Since ancient times, this word has been almost synonymous with rebellion. Anyone who mentions it will be besieged by everyone. Meng Yan has never mentioned the word "equality", but he has been doing "

The issue of "equality" is very tempting to them, the side brothers, but why did Shiroro, the main house brother, choose this way.

Gu Yanfeng seemed to notice Gu Sheng's doubts, moved his stiff legs, turned around and looked into the distance and said: "Brother Sheng, do you know that I am not the daughter of my wife, my mother is just a concubine, and my wife had no children at that time.

After my death, my mother raised me as her son."

Gu Sheng's lips twitched. He knew something about this matter. Many people in the Gu family knew about it and everyone deliberately avoided it. However, the fact that Gu Yanfeng's biological mother was killed by his wife was indeed a secret.

"Brother Sheng, you are my clan brother and my close servant. Your main task is to protect my life. But I'm afraid you still have a secret order that day. If I have other thoughts, you will kill me immediately, right?"

?" Gu Yanfeng's tone was calm but full of grief. He didn't know whether it was for his late mother or for the suspicion in the clan.

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, this is Qilang's order, but I swear I have never had this thought."

Gu Yanfeng smiled and said, "Brother Sheng, I have no other intention when I say this. If you had this intention, my head would have been sent to Star City long ago."

"Sixteenth Master, this matter is too big. You have to let me think about it. Besides, there are a thousand Gu family members in Hengyang City. I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it for a while, whether it's Xiao Yu or Meng Yan." Gu Sheng still said.

Hesitating.

"Don't worry, Mr. San said that if the Gu family's children are willing to return to Xingzhou or go to Lincheng Mengyan, they will be sent out with gifts and will not stop the murder. The army is still stationed in Hengyang and we will not let us go out until Xingzhou is captured; and

Lord Duanmu means that he hopes that I will take the initiative to give up Hengyang and let my troops from Hengyang go to Luling to garrison. I believe in Meng Yan." Gu Yanfeng made his choice without any hesitation.

"Hmph! Xiao Yu's move seems to have allowed us to avoid fighting with the master's family, but what we have lost is our entire hometown. Once we get out of Hengyang, the 50,000 of us will be allowed to be manipulated by him at will. What a plan!" Gu Sheng said to him!

Xiao Yu scoffed at what he did.

Gu Yanfeng did not answer, he just stared in the direction of Goshawk Ridge and thought about something. Upon seeing this, Gu Sheng continued: "Meng Yan's promise is more reliable, but his new policy is too terrible!"

"I know, so I just said my choice. I cannot make the decision of Hengyang City alone. Although Meng Yan will not break up our army, his three divisions and two supervisors will definitely be stationed in Hengyang and the army."

Gu Sheng didn't know what to say for a moment. He moved himself out of the shadows and looked at the bustling merchants and people in the city, and then at the soldiers scattered all over the city tower. This choice was really too difficult.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and only the howling of the wind and the howling of the cold wind could be heard, but the shadow of the mountains and forests in the distance was soft.

"Brother Sheng, how much land does your family have?" Gu Yanfeng suddenly asked.

"I am Gu's side house, and I am entirely supported by the main family. Where can I get the land?" Gu Sheng said helplessly.

"With Zhuo Bailing's surrender to Mengyan, the Zhuo family's children, regardless of whether they are high or low, have a share of land. I heard that Zhuo Bailing has no family restrictions on them." Gu Yanfeng said meaningfully.

When these words were spoken, they struck a chord deep in Gu Sheng's heart. For many generations, the family's food and drink depended entirely on the likes and dislikes of the master's family, or whether he, the side brothers, had the ability to be driven by the master's family. Even though he stood up to the children of the Gu family in front of the people.

The reputation seems to be superior to others, but in fact, most of the people living in rural areas are not as good as ordinary people in merchant houses.

Gu Sheng said without hesitation: "Gu Sheng is willing to follow Shiliu Lang! Most of the Gu family's children in the army come out to earn military merit and earn a living. I will convince them!"

"Don't force it, just go with your heart." Gu Yanfeng reminded.

"Just do your best and leave no regrets." Gu Sheng took a deep breath.

Looking at Gu Sheng's retreating figure, Gu Yanfeng's eyes were full of appreciation, but there was some apology in this expression of appreciation.

"It's hard for you." A person appeared from the compartment of the tower. It was Chen Zhiqing. From the way he stretched his arms, it seemed that he had been in there for a long time.

Gu Yanfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Where can I go after all the county and government agencies have exhausted my plans? Are Mr. Three still satisfied?"

"You don't have to look despairing. What I'm telling you is all true. There is no lie. Your talent as Gu Yanfeng is comparable to that of Su Qin, who has the seal of the Six Kingdoms. Your ability is only

Only under Meng Yan's command can you achieve what you wish for." Chen Zhiqing comforted him, knowing that it was not easy for Gu Yanfeng to choose Meng Yan.

"I hope, my surname is Gu. This cannot be changed. Although I have not been stained with Meng's blood, I have been raised by this blood. This is a fact. As long as the Duke can promise to agree to my affairs, my life and death will be determined."

It doesn't matter." Gu Yanfeng felt a sense of sadness and determination in his heart.

Chen Zhiqing sighed, family, feud, these things have restricted too many people's hearts, and many outstanding people have fallen victim to these things. When he was in Luochen City that day, he often acted involuntarily and unwillingly.

Everyone said that Mr. Anye Weisan has a perverse temperament. Who knows how much depression is hidden in his heart.

"Yanfeng, you agree with Meng Yan's approach and philosophy, right?"

Gu Yanfeng was stunned for a moment, nodded in approval, and said: "When the previous head of the family annihilated the Gu family in Shaozhou, he also confiscated a large number of documents. They are now stored in the secret room at home. I was lucky enough to read them when I was twelve years old. If not

If there is a feud, I am really willing to serve Duke Meng."

"Then what do you think of Meng Yan's approach compared to that of his father?" Chen Zhiqing also wanted to know the difficulty of this road and whether it is possible to pass it in his lifetime.

"The main concept is roughly the same, but in the documents of that year, Duke Meng relied more on the power of the people in the city, while the county governor expanded the scope. He relied on the people and respected the merchants equally. At the same time, the county governor

It seems that he has never given up control of the military."

"Do you think it's feasible?"

"The journey is difficult, but isn't Shaoling an example? The people's hearts are like being injected with a clear spring. Although it cannot become a trend now, the water drops can penetrate the stone and the thousands of streams will merge into it and eventually it will become a river and sea." Gu Yan

Feng said that he became excited here.

"Then what are you worried about? Will someone like him be someone who burns bridges?" These words also resonated with Chen Zhiqing's heart that had been struggling for several days.

"I'm too preoccupied. From today on, I won't care about this!"
