Having said her piece, Gu Jiao left the room without paying any more attention to Tang Yueshan.


Given Tang Yueshan's brain, he was certainly someone that could easily be deceived.


It wasn’t that Tang Yueshan was stupid...


Well, alright, he was a bit dumb.


But could someone this dumb lead troops in battle? The answer was yes.


As the saying went, each profession had its own specialization, and a person's talents could manifest in various fields. Some people excelled in literary pursuits, some in martial arts, and others in strategic thinking.


Tang Yueshan was formidable on the battlefield due to several factors. Firstly, he was well-versed in military strategy. Secondly, he was exceptionally brave and skilled in combat. Thirdly, the Tang Family's archers provided him considerable assistance.


Tang Yueshan's success in battle primarily relied on his bravery; strategic acumen was of secondary importance.


Gu Jiao went to the living room to check on the pheasant soup simmering on the stove. Gu Chengfeng sat on a small stool near the stove, warming himself by the fire and looking at Gu Jiao.


Their conversation in the room had been quite loud, which allowed Gu Chengfeng to overhear. He quietly asked Gu Jiao, "Did you really poison that guy?"


Gu Jiao lifted the lid of the pot and shook her head, "No."


Poison was so expensive, how could she waste it on him?


The red line, she drew.


The blue mark, she pinched.


The hair, she plucked!


Gu Chengfeng: "..."


After Gu Jiao left the room, Tang Yueshan fell into deep thought.


Of course, he had his suspicions that Gu Jiao might be bluffing, but her behavior seemed too natural, without a trace of acting.


Most people wouldn't carry poison with them, but Gu Jiao was a physician, which Tang Yueshan had heard about when he was still in the capital. Moreover, he had seen Gu Jiao administer medicine to Old Marquis earlier.


Given that, his injuries might have been treated by Gu Jiao as well.


Medicine and poison were closely related, so it wouldn't be surprising if a physician had some poison on hand.


When this thought flashed through Tang Yueshan's mind, he suddenly became hesitant to act rashly.


Dinner was set in the living room.


During the meal, Tang Yueshan saw Gu Chengfeng.


Gu Chengfeng wasn’t wearing a mask, not because he didn't want to cover his face but because it wasn't necessary. His head and face were entirely wrapped in bandages, leaving only his eyes and mouth exposed.


Tang Yueshan deduced that Gu Chengfeng was the other assassin from that night just by looking at his body shape.


Strictly speaking, Gu Chengfeng wasn't an assassin. He was simply looking for Gu Jiao. By the time he arrived at the Supreme Commander Estate, Gu Jiao had already engaged with the Supreme Commander Estate’s people.


He had merely helped Gu Jiao escape from the Supreme Commander Estate. However, even in this brief encounter, Gu Chengfeng's figure and back view had been deeply imprinted in Tang Yueshan's mind.


Tang Yueshan looked at Gu Jiao, who was munching on a pheasant leg, and then at Gu Chengfeng, who could only drink soup. His expression darkened as he asked, "She's Young Miss Gu of the Gu Family. What's your relationship with the Gu Family?"


First, they had worked together to seek revenge on Tang Ming, and then they had jointly rescued Old Marquis. If they say they had no connection, Tang Yueshan wouldn't believe it.


Gu Chengfeng replied irritably, "Whoever I am, is it any of your business?"


Tang Yueshan stared at Gu Chengfeng intently and continued, "Gu Chao has four grandsons. You're not Gu Changqing, so there are three left. You're not the youngest either, so that leaves two."


Hold on, is your stupidity selective or something?


You were easily fooled when you were with that girl, so how did you become so suddenly sharp when it came to me?


Tang Yueshan continued, "I heard that Gu Chao's third grandson became a monk, so it seems you're the second one."


The corner of Gu Chengfeng's mouth twitched again.


What ‘became a monk’ was he talking about? His brother just couldn't grow hair!


Gu Chengfeng muttered through gritted teeth, "Who spread these rumors? I'm going to kill them when I get back!"


Tang Yueshan sarcastically remarked, "I used to think that Gu Chao's eldest grandson was the only promising one, but it turns out all of his grandsons have their own unique skills."


While "having unique skills" was typically a compliment, it sounded somewhat mocking coming from him.


Tang Yueshan continued, "Your grandfather lived a righteous and upright life throughout his life, but all of his grandsons seem to be more and more insidious. I can't tell if he was just pretending to be a moral individual in the past, or if you all turned crooked on your own."


Gu Chengfeng's expression turned cold, but his handsome face was wrapped up, so only his gradually icy eyes were visible. He said, "Don't spew slanderous accusations here. Our business has nothing to do with my grandfather! Speaking of pretending to be a moral individual, well, I'd like to ask Supreme Commander Tang, how do you have the face to accuse others when you took your own younger brother's wife and fathered Tang Ming!"


Tang Yueshan: "You!"


Gu Chengfeng continued, "And also, you say we’ve turned crooked? Why don’t you look at Tang Ming, that worthless lump of mud who can't hold up a wall. As his biological father, where do you get the confidence to say other people's children have gone crooked? Even if we did turn crooked, we’ve never harmed innocent girls or forcibly taken someone else's brother! When Empress Dowager offered you a way out by suggesting that Tang Ming was drugged, you believed it wholeheartedly! Do you really think your son is so innocent? Do you think no one knows about your dirty deeds? Do you think your son is the best in the world? He's nothing!"


“You… You…” Tang Yueshan had never been criticized like this before, and he was infuriated to the point that his face turned red and his neck swelled. Moreover, military men usually had less skill with their tongues. They were used to using their fists and typically weren't good at verbal arguments.


Gu Chengfeng's scathing words hit the mark with each one, showing no mercy. Tang Yueshan was so angry that he almost coughed up blood on the spot.


He stood up abruptly, ready to strike Gu Chengfeng.


Gu Chengfeng slapped his chopsticks on the table, quickly rose to his feet, and puffed out his chest as he shouted, "Want to kill me!? Fine! Come on! If you're not afraid of being poisoned to death, go ahead and try! If I die, you'll never get the antidote!"


Gu Chengfeng instantly got into character, and his ability to improvise on the spot was truly impeccable!


Tang Yueshan's fury was instantly quelled by an invisible hand. He clenched his fists in anger but ultimately sat back down in humiliation!


In the following days, they experienced several heavy snowfalls, which made it impossible for them to leave. Correspondingly, it was challenging for the remnants of the previous dynasty to locate them.


They took shelter in the small cabin for the time being.
