A Family of Five, Loyal to Six Countries

The Gu family has one house rule: no discussing politics at the dinner table, and absolutely no poisoning the soup.

Until the day Father’s secret letter fell into the soup.

Mother fished it out and took one look.

“Paper from Northern Yan?”

Father’s expression changed. “You recognize it?”

Mother drew a dagger from her sleeve. “What a coincidence. The spy Liang ordered me to kill is also surnamed Gu.”

Big Brother quietly put down his chopsticks. “Don’t do anything yet. Southern Chu told me to protect him.”

Little Sister raised her hand. “Western Shu is offering three thousand taels for him alive.”

All four of them turned to look at Gu Shouzhong.

Gu Quan sighed and pulled a letter from his robes, too.

“Eastern Qi told me to find out who you four are really loyal to.”

The family of five fell silent.

Suddenly, someone knocked at the door.

“Excuse me, is this the Gu residence?”
