Fish only seek revenge, not leap over the Dragon Gate

Chapter 172: Gu Yan in the Jar, Father and Son Separated by Yin and Yang

No matter how slow his steps were, Gu Hong still reached the innermost part. However, it was dark inside and the firelight could not come in, so he took out a tinder to light the oil lamp hanging on the wall.

The oil lamp was not very bright, but it still illuminated the nearest cell. At one glance, his eyes widened and then became bloodshot.

He was a real man, and he didn't say a word even though he had so many wounds on his body. But at this moment, his tears suddenly flowed down.

A humming sound came from his throat, and his eyes were fixed on the eyeless, earless and noseless person in the jar.

He couldn't bear it any longer, so he threw himself on the cell, gritted his teeth, pulled open the cell bars with his bare hands and rushed in.

"father!"

He knelt in front of him and stroked his uneven face with trembling hands.

"Hong'er?"

A faint voice sounded, and Gu Hong showed surprise, "Yes, it's my son."

"My dear son, I'm sorry to your mother, your sister, and you."

"Dad, don't say anything yet, your son will save you." Gu Hong clenched his fist and wanted to smash the jar, but was stopped by Gu Yan's words.

"Wait, this jar contains a special potion, which is why Dad is still alive."

Gu Hong immediately stopped what he was doing, hugged the jar with both hands, and wanted to take the jar away with him.

Feeling the jar shaking, Gu Yan said, "Don't bother yourself. It's not easy for you to come here. Dad has something to tell you. To be brief, you must listen carefully."

Gu Hong calmed down and nodded seriously, "Dad, go ahead."

"The reason why I gave your sister to Wuwang was because he said that your sister was a spirit from another world and would bring disaster to the Gu family."

"Dad, I didn't believe it at first, but later your sister's words, actions and some of her ideas made me believe it."

"For the sake of the Gu family, Dad had no choice but to hand her over to Wuwang with great pain."

"Now that I think about it, she might really be a soul from another world, but when it comes to bringing disaster to the Gu family, that's not necessarily true. So, it's Dad's fault."

"Tell your mother that I have let her down in this life. I don't ask for her forgiveness, I just hope she lives a good life."

"And then there's you. Among all the people in the Gu family, you're the only one who was sober from beginning to end."

"Dad is relieved and proud."

"If you meet your eldest brother, he is still following Wuwang, you have to clean up the mess."

"Then the assassins trained by the Gu family are also handed over to you. The token is in the interlayer of a wooden box of your mother's dowry."

"Find the token, go back to Yanshan to collect those assassins, then surrender to Duke Lu, turn the arrows around and aim at Wuwang. Don't let him continue to kill people."

"And the most important thing is to tell Lu Yu that Wuwang's most important things are in Tianfeng Mountain."

After saying all these words in one breath, Gu Yan was almost out of breath, and a light laugh came out of his throat, "Son! Daddy asks you for one last favor."

"Dad, stop talking for now. I'll take you out." Gu Hong said as he was about to move the jar.

"Stop, stop struggling. Dad is meaningless to live like this. The reason why his tongue is still there is nothing more than Si Yungui wants to ask for the token that the Gu family can use to mobilize the dead soldiers."

"Don't underestimate the Gu family's warriors. They are trained by the ancestors of the Gu family according to the highest standards, generation after generation. They are no worse than the Dragon Guards."

"And with over a thousand people, it's a huge force."

Gu Hong was shocked. It turned out that their Gu family was so powerful.

"Good son, can you please give daddy a quick death?" Gu Yan's tone was full of pleading, and Gu Hong felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

In fact, he also knew that his father's life was meaningless, but how could he bring himself to do it?

This is his father!

Even though he hated and resented him, he never thought of letting him die.

"Oh no, the house collapsed and the exit is blocked."

"Not only was the exit blocked, but the fire was also burning down."

"Gu family boy, come and let us out."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hong also became anxious. He stood up and looked at the gradually burning fire, then looked at his father in the jar. He didn't know what to do first.

"Go ahead, do you want your father to continue to suffer?" Gu Yan shouted with all his strength.

Gu Hong was trembling all over, struggling internally, and unable to make a decision.

It was not until he heard screams outside and smoke began to fill the air that he made up his mind, knelt on one knee in front of the urn, and said firmly: "Dad, your son will definitely avenge you."

Hearing this, a relieved smile appeared on Gu Yan's extremely ugly face.

Gu Hong hugged his head, cried silently, raised his hand and slapped him on the head.

He exited the cell, crying silently, picked up the sword, with endless hatred in his eyes, and ran outside quickly.

As he ran, his sword was swinging continuously, and all the cells were cut down wherever he passed.

Everyone inside followed him out, but their condition was so bad that they couldn't even run a few steps.

One reason was that he was injured, and the other was that there was too much smoke. He couldn't open his eyes and it was difficult to breathe.

When Gu Hong reached the exit, he found that the beam had fallen right at the entrance of the secret room and was burning fiercely.

The cells were made of wood, and the cells near the exit were also on fire, spreading further inside.

"Gu family boy, ahem, we've all, ahem, been drugged. Even if we have the kung fu, we can't use it now. It's all up to you, ahem..."

Someone approached Gu Hong and said.

"Everyone move back!" Gu Hong roared and rushed into the fire with a sword in hand.

The others only saw a figure waving a sword in the fire, picking out the burning wood bit by bit.

Some cried, some were hopeful.

They all depend on the Gu family for their survival. They know something about Wuwang's affairs, but not much. Anyway, they only listen to the Gu family.

Who would have thought that Lord Gu just asked them to pack up and leave the capital, but they were arrested.

Gu Hong was already injured, and now he was burned by the fire. He finally cleaned up the burning wood, and then he heard a voice from above, "Don't let any of them escape. Pour oil into the secret room."

Gu Hong's body, which was almost unable to support itself, became even more shaky after hearing these words.

Although the burning wood had been cleaned up, there were still a lot of sparks underneath, which would ignite easily if kerosene touched them.

He held onto the hot wall and looked upwards. No, he couldn't let them pour oil in there. Once they did, there would be no way to escape.

I must get rid of these people before they splash. I gathered my energy and was about to fly upwards, when suddenly, I heard screams from above.

"Who are you!"

"what--"

"Send a signal quickly and inform the Lord."

"Kill them all, leaving no one behind!"

Gu Hong knew from the sound that many people had come upstairs and were fighting with the Si family.

Not to be missed.

He turned around and shouted to the people inside: "Everyone get ready to leave. I'm going upstairs to find a ladder."

Perhaps knowing that there was hope of survival, Gu Hong's body, which had been unable to hold on, was suddenly filled with strength, and he jumped up lightly.

The house was completely burned down, and when he came out, he saw people fighting in the yard, and he knew the man who was the most conspicuous and ruthless in swinging the sword to kill people.

It’s Lu Xian.
