What great favor did the Suo owe to Gui Xingfu?
The story began over twenty years ago when the former City Lord of Linhai, Gui Huai Zhi, suddenly died. However, as the heir, Gui Xingfu was traveling far from home at that time.
By the time he returned, his elder brother, Gui Xingchou, had already proclaimed himself as the City Lord and exterminated all of Gui Xingfu's legitimate forces.
Moreover, Gui Xingchou had already sent envoys to the Royal City to persuade the royal family; it was just a matter of time before the royal endorsement and recognition would arrive, and the position of City Lord would inevitably fall into the hands of his brother.
