Actually, Gu Yan wanted to tell his big brother that their second brother and third brother hit him, bruising his arm, and that it hurt.

But at that moment, he felt that his heart hurt more than his arm.

He thought his eldest brother was different from his two other brothers. After all, he had seen him pet the rabbit on the ground and save the bird on the tree. He was such a kind person. His big brother even liked the bird, so he must also like the adorable him, right?

But he didn’t like him. He hated him. He wished he had never existed at all.

He held out his own heart and sincerely offered it to him. In return, he abandoned it like a pair of worn out shoes.

Despite that, when he was locked into a dark room by his third brother, he was still looking forward to him in his heart. He hoped that for once… even just for once, he could come and save him…

He was his most beloved big brother...

Later, he left and got into the carriage to the villa.

He looked back from time to time.

He thought then that if his big brother could come out to see him, he would have no grievances. He would not leave. He wouldn’t fear being bullied by his third and second brothers.

But he didnʼt come out.

Finally, he fell into his motherʼs embrace and burst into sorrowful tears.

For the ten years he was living in the villa, he never waited for him to visit him once. He finally forced himself to accept the reality little by little.

He wasn’t his big brother, nor was he his little brother. They had the same father, but they would never have anything to do with each other.

Gu Yan closed his eyes as memories surged in his mind.

……

It was the dead of night. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the whole military camp had already fallen into silence.

Gu Changqing sat on the straw mat, not at all sleepy.

Suddenly, there was movement outside the door, followed by the sound of two bodies falling to the ground.

Gu Changqing’s gaze turned cold and a trace of vigilance flashed within his eyes.

The next second, the door of the torture chamber was opened, and more than ten hidden weapons flashing with cold light shot at him at the same time!

The other party wanted to shoot him into a sieve!

Gu Changqing quickly rolled over the ground and grabbed the straw mat beside the wall, then he swung his arm towards the hidden weapons and deflected them all by countering strength with soft force. The straw mat scattered and the hidden weapons shot back towards the other party!

The other party seemed to be well prepared and wasn’t in a hurry to enter the torture chamber. Asoon as the hidden weapons shot back at him, he hurriedly hid behind the outer wall.

The hidden weapons nailed with a clank to the ground outside the torture chamber!

Only then did the other party wield a sword into the torture chamber to assassinate Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing’s limbs were shackled with iron chains. He raised his hands and used the chains between the shackles to seize his opponentʼs sword, then he held it in his hands and thrust it fiercely towards the other party’s heart!

He was injured, yes, but he was still much stronger than the opponent in terms of skill.

The masked man in black was almost stabbed by Gu Changqing and hurriedly withdrew from the torture chamber. The shackles on Gu Changqingʼs feet were tied to the iron hoops on the wall, so he couldnʼt get out.

Standing outside the danger range, the man in black crossed his arms over his chest and smiled brazenly, ”I really didnʼt expect you to still fight so well after being injured. You truly are the iron-faced Yama, Commandant Gu.”

”Who are you?” Gu Changqing asked coldly.

The man in black flashed him a faint smile, saying, ”Iʼm someone who came to kill you. Someone paid me to take your life, but it seems that I underestimated your strength. Since I failed to kill you tonight, I can only settle for the next best thing, which is to kill your younger brother.”

Gu Changqing knit his brows.

The man in black said slowly, ”My client told me to at least take the life of one of your younger brothers, otherwise it will be difficult to vent the hatred in his heart!”

Hatred in his heart?

Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin didnʼt have any bad blood with anyone, could it be——

Gu Changqingʼs heart sank. He wanted to ask more, but the other party had already disappeared into the boundless night using his qinggong.

Gu Changqing recalled the other party’s mask, which looked very familiar as though he had seen it somewhere before. Even the hidden weapons on the ground also gave off an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The other side might have really gone to kill Gu Yan, or it also might be a bluff.

Gu Changqingʼs eyes darkened.

He didnʼt hesitate too long. He raised the sword in his hand, and with a ‘kacha’, he cut off the chains on his hands and feet.

He then walked out of the torture chamber.

Right at this moment, a soldier who came to start his shift and replaced the guard before him arrived outside the torture room. He saw Gu Changqing holding a sword, and though he still had the shackles on him, the chains were broken. Then he noticed the two dead bodies lying on the ground.

Blood was flowing all over the floor from the two corpses, at the same time Gu Changqingʼs sword was dripping with blood...

His expression changed at once, ”Commandant Gu!”

Gu Changqing frowned, but he didnʼt explain himself. He threw the sword away, thought for a moment, and knocked the other party unconscious.

Actually, it wasn’t needed. The other party was so shocked that he forgot to block him at all.

But if he didn’t knock him out, the other party would be guilty of dereliction of duty.

Gu Changqing headed to the stable to get his horse and galloped to Changʼan Street.

Along the way, he paid attention to whether he was being followed. He only turned into Bishui Alley after making sure no one was on his tail.

He went straight to Old Chiefʼs home.

He rushed into the room where Gu Yan was.

Gu Yan was soaking his feet in the medicinal liquid decocted by Gu Jiao, and Yao shi was with him.

The two people froze upon seeing the travel-worn Gu Changqing enter the room.

Gu Changqing probably didnʼt know how terrible he looked after being locked up in the torture chamber for a few days. His clothes were still stained with blood, and the corner of his mouth that had been accidentally whipped was still bruised.

After several days without shaving, there was stubble around his mouth.

His eyes were shining brightly in the dark night.

Gu Jiao told Yao shi and the family that Gu Yan had only fainted after getting lost, so Yao shi didn’t have the slightest idea that his son had been abducted by Tang Ming, and that he found out from Tang Ming’s mouth that he was Gu Changqing.

Yao shi thought that they were still getting along as before. She got up and said, ”You came to see Yanʼer?”

Actually, she wanted to ask what happened with Gu Changqing and why he looked like that, but she found it hard to open her mouth.

“Iʼll go and see if the medicine is ready.” Yao shi said and went out.

Seeing Gu Yanʼs appearance at this moment, how could Gu Changqing fail to understand?

But instead of regretting it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was glad that the other party was only plotting against him and didn’t really mean to hurt Gu Yan.

”Are you… better?”

Gu Yan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Anyone who had gone through such a thing would be in low spirits, so his reaction wasn’t surprising in Gu Changqingʼs eyes.

Gu Changqing thought of that day when Tang Ming called his name. At that time, Gu Yan seemed to have passed out. He… shouldn’t have heard it, right?

Gu Changqing summoned up his courage. He walked over to the bedside and reached out to touch his forehead as usual.

He was afraid that the shackles would be exposed, so he was very careful to cover them with his sleeves.

But when he was about to touch Gu Yan, he didn’t know if it was intentional or not, Gu Yan slightly tilted his head.
