The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

Gu Mingheng didn't even turn his head and walked straight into the palace. As he walked forward, he asked Zhang Shouyi: "When did you get promoted?"

Zhang Shouyi followed behind Gu Mingheng.

Hearing this, the dark-faced man became visibly embarrassed: "Half a year ago."

Three years ago, Zhang Shouyi was just an ordinary guard at the city gate.

Because he spoke with an accent, was dark-skinned, and was an outsider, he was often looked down upon.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have just endured it and it would have passed, but he was impatient and had a bad temper.

It's okay if you can't hear it.

But once I heard it, it is impossible to pretend not to hear it. Even if my fists are not as good as others, I still have to vent my anger.

So that they know how powerful he is.

At that time, he always thought that he could make others afraid of him with his fists, but the more he did so, the more others disliked him.

In addition, his temper makes it easy for him to offend people.

When those people suffered losses at his hands alone, they would call a group of people to beat him up together.

Once, Zhang Shouyi was beaten to the ground and was seen by Gu Mingheng.

Gu Mingheng didn't come forward to help him.

With his identity, if he showed up, even if those people let Zhang Shouyi go on the surface, Zhang Shouyi would probably suffer even more when he left the capital.

What's more, among military generals, what matters is always strength.

If you don't have enough strength, you will be looked down upon even if you have someone backing you up.

He appeared when Zhang Shouyi was grimacing, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and shouting "Damn it, Dad".

He didn't persuade Zhang Shouyi either.

He said to Zhang Shouyi at that time, "People who only know how to use their fists but not their brains will not go far."

Zhang Shouyi didn't know who he was at that time.

Gu Mingheng seldom returned to Beijing, and he was not wearing the dragon robe that represented his status at that time. He was an impatient man, and his face turned even darker when he heard this.

"Who are you saying is brainless?"

He had a gloomy face and wanted to take action again, but he was not really ungrateful.

Looking at Gu Mingheng's noble temperament, one can tell that he is no ordinary person. Although he is dissatisfied at the moment, he can only swallow his anger and endure the pain to go back.

Unexpectedly, a man's voice came from behind: "Do you dare to fight with me?"

Zhang Shouyi thought this man was crazy.

Although he is tall, he has such a handsome appearance that one can tell at first glance that he is a wealthy young man who is raised at home.

Fight with a general like him?

Either crazy or stupid.

He was too lazy to pay attention and still wanted to leave, but suddenly a strong wind came from behind him.

As a martial artist, Zhang Shouyi instinctively turned around and fought back without thinking.

He was already very unhappy at that time, and he didn't expect this man to provoke him.

I thought that since it was the man himself who proposed it, so even if he was beaten, he deserved it!

With this thought in mind, Zhang Shouyi no longer tolerated it.

But he didn't expect that he didn't even touch the man's clothes before he was subdued to the ground.

Zhang Shouyi couldn't believe it at the time.

He always thought that he was pretty good, and those people were able to injure him only by relying on their numbers.

So he never submitted to them.

He didn't expect that this man who looked so handsome could subdue him so easily.

"Do you know how long you can survive if you are put on the battlefield?"

The man asked him at that time.

Zhang Shouyi was confused by the question, but he quickly said nonchalantly: "Even if I can only live for one day, I will drag those barbarians to die with me!"

He is fearless.

If he didn't have a blind mother at home to take care of, he would not have stayed in this capital city so miserably and would have run to the border long ago.

Unexpectedly, when the handsome man heard this, a hint of sadness and reproach appeared in his eyes.

He loosened his grip on his arm.

When he got up, the tall and handsome man looked down at him and said, "People never live to seek death."

"If you want others to respect you and fear you, it's not enough to just fight and throw punches a few times."

“No matter how powerful your fists are, a person’s ability is always limited. If you want others to be afraid of you, then stand at a higher position than them, so that they will respect and admire you from the bottom of their hearts.”

No one has ever said such words to Zhang Shouyi.

At that time, Zhang Shouyi was lying on the ground, completely stunned. When the man helped him up, he had not yet come to his senses.

Until he watched the man leave, he suddenly looked at the man's back and shouted: "Who are you!"

But the man did not answer him.

He walked straight out of his sight.

It was not until the next day when Zhang Shouyi asked Commander Tan Feitan that he learned that he had actually met the King of Chang'an.

Who is the King of Chang'an?

As long as he is a military general, there is no one who does not admire him and does not want to become his general.

If he didn't have a blind mother at home, Zhang Shouyi would most want to join the Black Armored Army of King Chang'an.

He didn't expect that the King of Chang'an, who was like a god in his heart, would appear in front of him, let alone that he would appear and give him advice.

From then on, Zhang Shouyi tried hard to suppress his temper and improve his abilities. Although he still did not associate with those people, no one bullied him anymore.

Half a year ago, he passed numerous tests and finally reached this position with his own abilities.

He was laughed at along the way.

They said that he was too ambitious and had wild ideas. He was just a guard at the Wumen Gate, but he actually dreamed of becoming the commander-in-chief.

They thought he would definitely be eliminated.

No one thinks highly of him.

But in the end, he relied on his own abilities to get the first place, became the commander of these city gates, and took over the job of Commander Qin.

His temper was still hot, his character still rough.

But just as the prince said back then, those people finally began to respect him.

This time they were afraid of him, not because of his fists, but because they respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

As long as people have enough power, they will be respected.

This is what the prince told him that year.

He did it.

The fame and status he has today are all thanks to the man beside him.

Zhang Shouyi was grateful to Gu Mingheng from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for his advice at that time, he would probably still be confused now.

Not to mention sitting in his current position, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to stay in the position of guarding the city gate for long before being driven out.

He was filled with gratitude towards Gu Mingheng, but unfortunately he had never found the right opportunity to thank the man: "Thank you, Your Majesty. If it weren't for your words, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to do now."

"Commander Qin also told me that it was you who told him about my situation that made him..."

Gu Mingheng interrupted Zhang Shouyi and said, "You have passed through so many checkpoints and reached that position. You shouldn't point your fists at your own people."

Gu Mingheng didn't feel that he had done anything.

As for Qin Fei, even without his words, he would have taken action after knowing the situation.

As for how Zhang Shouyi has reached his current position, it has nothing to do with him. This is due to his own efforts and has nothing to do with other people.

Zhang Shouyi received the instruction and was still full of gratitude.

I heard the prince beside me ask, "Where's Tan Fei?"

Qin Fei is Zhang Shouyi’s predecessor.

Zhang Shouyi hurriedly replied: "Commander Tan is now going to the Imperial Guards."

Gu Mingheng nodded to show that he understood.

Zhang Shouyi opened up and said, "I was drinking with Commander Tan a few days ago and we talked about you."

"He's in a big trouble now, managing those young masters from noble families. He said it would be better for him to go back to the city gate as a guard, or follow you to the north."

Gu Mingheng smiled.

The Yulin Guard is the closest to the emperor among the 26 guards. In addition to those who have fought their way up by killing three gates and defeating six generals, most of them are young men of good family backgrounds.

This is of course not to say that these people are incompetent.

How can someone who can become a Yulin Guard not have any ability? If one person fails to do well, the whole family will be implicated.

It’s just that because of their background, they are inevitably more arrogant than others, and therefore more difficult to manage than others.

It would be fine if Qin Fei had the same background, but he just happened to have an ordinary background.

How could those young masters be convinced?

Gu Mingheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll go take a look later."

Zhang Shouyi laughed when he heard this: "This is a great sentiment. If Commander Tan knew about this, he would definitely jump for joy."

He and Qin Fei have become more and more familiar with each other over the years, and they often drink together in private.

"However, not every young master in the Yulin Guard is like that. The prince of Anyuan Marquis's family has a very good temper." Zhang Shouyi thought of what Qin Fei said before and added this sentence.

He just mentioned it casually.

When Gu Mingheng heard this name, he stopped and said, "Really?"

He remembered Ming Jingheng.

After all, he was Aunt Fuhua's eldest grandson, and Gu Mingheng had seen him when he was born.

There is a six-year age difference between him and Ming Jingheng.

Speaking of which, Ming Jingheng and Yuan Yu are the same age.

But perhaps it was because of Ming Jingheng's personality. He had been too obedient and too mature since he was a child. Every time he saw him, he would bow to him politely and either call him "little uncle" or "prince". Gu Mingheng at that time really didn't like this kid who was obviously younger than him but more mature than him.

Naturally, my relationship with him cannot compare to that with Yuan Yu.

So when they were young, their relationship was just nodding acquaintances when they met.

When did he become acquainted with Ming Jingheng? It was probably ten years ago, when Ming Jingheng had just disappeared.

That year, he often went out to look for Ming brocade, searching along the capital's outward routes.

Every time he went out for a while, he would come back to see if Mingjin had returned, and also report to his brother and sister-in-law that he was safe, so as to avoid making them angry.

Once, when he was about to go out again, he was stopped by Ming Jingheng.

At that time, he was sixteen years old and Ming Jingheng was only ten years old, not even as tall as his horse, but he stubbornly stood in front of him with a bag on his back.

He must have escaped.

The child who used to have always clean and tidy clothes now had dusty clothes and his face had marks from falling.

The area under his eyes was all dark blue.

It's like arguing with your family and not being accepted.

"Uncle, are you going to look for your sister? Can you take me with you?"

Fearing that he would disagree, the child assured him again and again: "I, I can ride a horse, I won't hold you back!"

But Gu Mingheng didn't take him with him in the end.

He couldn't afford to see another child get into trouble, not to mention that the people sent by Anyuan Marquis' Mansion had also found him.

Ming Jingheng was eventually taken away by the people who came.

Gu Mingheng still remembers how hard the child struggled when he was taken away. He cried and shouted, "Let me go! I want to go find my sister!"

But his power is too weak.

Later that year, every time Gu Mingheng came back from going out, he would ask someone to bring a message to Ming Jingheng.

Until he went to the North, the connection between the two was gone.

In recent years, Gu Mingheng seldom came back, and even if he did, he would not stay in the capital for too long. He hadn't seen Ming Jingheng for a long time.

But perhaps it was because of his attention to Mingjin and Anyuanhou Mansion over the years.

He had heard a lot of news about Ming Jingheng.

He knew that Ming Jingheng had grown up well and was the most outstanding young man in the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion. He had a gentle personality and was proficient in both civil and military affairs. He had entered the Yulin Guard on his own very early on.

Everyone who knew him praised him.

He is the well-deserved successor to the next Marquis of Anyuan.

Gu Mingheng couldn't help but think about the little boy who cried and looked for his sister.

Does he still remember his biological sister?

Now that she's back, will he be nice to her?

Gu Mingheng was not sure. After all, even his biological parents could be like this. He really did not dare to speculate on human nature easily.

But he also sincerely hoped that he would always be the child who had his sister in his heart.

Otherwise, that child would be too pitiful.
