On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Chapter 134 Helping Lin Zhen to slap his face, you are really my father

Gu Beichen's eyes were red.

He tried his best to save the Gu family's reputation, but Lin Zhen obviously did not give him this opportunity.

Gu Yunting gently tugged at his sleeve, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. "Beichen, at this point, forcing it is useless. It's just a pair of lowly people's heads. Since he wants them, just give them to him. Let's see what His Majesty decides tomorrow!"

"Father." Gu Beichen's voice was low and suppressed, and every word seemed to carry a deep helplessness and resistance to the current situation.

"His Majesty is clearly leaning towards the Lin family now. Even if we bring the matter to his side, we won't gain any advantage."

"But it's better than going head-to-head with that madman!" Gu Yunting said slowly, his words revealing an unconcealed fear: "They have eight-ox crossbows, and we don't even know how many there are! Once a fight breaks out, the 1,800 of us won't be enough for him to kill!"

"Father!" Gu Beichen became increasingly agitated. "We must not bow our heads. Once we do, the prestige that the Gu family has painstakingly cultivated for decades will collapse in an instant. When that happens, everyone will turn against us, and you and I will be ruined and left with no place to bury our bodies!"

Gu Yunting understood the interests involved, but facing the powerful Eight Ox Crossbow, he could not muster the slightest desire to resist, and was left with only endless despair and helplessness.

It’s good to have military power.

Damn it, hit whoever you want!

Gu Yunting sighed inwardly, a bitter feeling welling up in his heart.

In comparison, the palace soldiers that he had trained with great effort and countless money were no better than a three-year-old child in front of the Eight Ox Crossbow and could only be slaughtered.

Gu Beichen once again cast his sharp gaze through the rain curtain at Lin Zhen, his pupils intertwined with indomitable spirit and determination, flashing with the light of defending to the death.

Today, even if I am torn to pieces, I will never let Lin Zhen succeed!

"Lin Zhen!" Gu Beichen's voice echoed in the rainy night, "If you have the guts, shoot all of us here! Otherwise, don't even think about taking their heads from me, Gu Beichen!"

"Hmph, you are so stubborn." Lin Zhen curled his lips into a sneer, which looked particularly eerie and terrifying under the cover of the rainy night. Even Han Zhong who was standing next to him couldn't help but feel a chill running through his heart, and his legs trembled involuntarily.

The prince is so terrifying. Just a smile or a glance is enough to make people feel terrified and as if they are falling into an ice cellar.

Is this the eagle-eyed and wolf-looking posture that people all over the world praise?

No, he clearly didn't do that weird 180-degree turn.

Lin Zhen raised his hand slightly and made a gesture. Hou Chun quickly collected his thoughts, brought his scattered thoughts back to reality, and re-stringed the Eight Oxen Crossbow.

“Crunch—”

The mechanism slowly engaged, and the sound of the strings echoed among the dense rain curtains, intertwining with the crisp rhythm of raindrops hitting the hard stone surface, creating a strange and terrifying atmosphere.

Gu Beichen's pupils suddenly shrank, and he unexpectedly took a step forward, as if he wanted to use his body to block the siege hammer of the Eight Ox Crossbow.

Gu Yunting gazed deeply at his son's strong and resolute back, a surge of indescribable pride welling up in his heart. Unconsciously, he also took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Gu Beichen.

The figures of the father and son appeared particularly tall and straight in the rain, as if they could withstand all the wind, rain and suffering in the world.

"Father...thank you." Gu Beichen's voice trembled slightly, tears sparkled in his eyes, and his heart was filled with emotion.

It is a blessing in life to have such a father.

"You and I are father and son, there's no need to thank me!" Gu Yunting smiled proudly, his tone revealing a domineering attitude. He then turned around and shouted in Lin Zhen's direction: "Lin Zhen! I will send someone to bring you the heads of Qingzhu's parents! Just be patient!"

Lin Zhen:?

Gu Beichen:?

Help Lin Zhen slap me in the face?

You really are my real dad!

"Stop, you're not allowed to go!" Gu Beichen turned around suddenly and swung the umbrella hard, knocking it out of the guard's hand.

In an instant, heavy rain poured down like a waterfall, mercilessly penetrating his thin clothes, outlining his face distorted by anger, and water droplets slid down his resolute chin and merged with the rain curtain.

He tugged at Gu Yunting's sleeve, his voice hoarse from excitement, but he still shouted almost in a roar: "Father! Why don't you understand? The Gu family cannot lose face!"

"Lin Zhen is a lunatic. I can't gamble with my son's life!" Gu Yunting's eyes were filled with deep worry as a father.

"Lin Zhen doesn't dare to kill us!"

"I understand what you mean, Beichen." Gu Yunting sighed, his eyes complicated, "But who can guarantee that there won't be a chance of something happening? What if he really loses his mind..."

Before he could finish, Gu Beichen interrupted, "What if...what if!"

Gu Beichen resolutely loosened his tightly clenched sleeves and strode to the edge of the bridge. There was only a gap of ten feet between him and the black-armored soldiers of the Longxiong Camp.

He raised his head and shouted at Lin Zhen, "Lin Zhen! I'm standing right here today. If you have the guts, shoot me to death! If you don't have the guts, get out of my Gu family!"

Lin Zhen smiled and picked up the hammer, shaking it in his hand. He looked at Gu Beichen jokingly and said, "Why are you pretending to be so stubborn? It's not the time for you to pee your pants because of me. Oh, yes, it's raining today, so even if you pee in your pants, it won't be noticeable, hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha." Everyone in Longxiong Camp also laughed, although they didn't know what Lin Zhen was laughing at.

But it doesn’t matter, if the prince laughs, they laugh too.

But these bursts of laughter were like sharp arrows, piercing Gu Beichen's heart again.

"Stop talking nonsense! I was careless last time. Today, just wait and see if I'll frown! Come on!"

"Then let you try the power of my Eight Ox Crossbow." Lin Zhen said this without any hesitation and decisively smashed the mechanism.

There was a loud bang, like thunder—

boom--

“Son!!” Gu Yunting’s exclamation cut through the air.

The huge siege hammer whizzed out like a cannonball.

Gu Beichen, on the other hand, still stood there, his eyes as sharp as torches, without wavering in the slightest.

But he didn't expect that Lin Zhen's target was not him at all, but those poor white-robed followers!

歘——

The air seemed to be suddenly cut by a sharp blade, and a series of extremely shrill wails cut through the rainy night.

"what!!"

"My legs, my legs!"

"help me!"

By the stream, the group of white-robed volunteers who looked like holy guardians were pierced by the siege chisels in an instant, like a hurricane sweeping through wheat waves, leaving a shocking gap. More than a dozen lives were lost silently.

Fear spread rapidly like a plague, and a shadow of death shrouded everyone's heart.

The other party is totally unreasonable and is treating me like a rabbit to be shot at!

What are you still standing here for?

Waiting to die?

Someone uttered a sharp cry: "Run away!"

"If you don't run, you'll be shot!"
