Time swiftly passed.
This matter caused a great impact throughout the court.
It wasn't merely due to the Turkic invasion, nor because Gu Yu could repel the Turkic attack.
As the current Patriarch of the Gu Clan.
Gu Yu's ability to fend off the Turkic assault wouldn't cause much shock.
The true surprise to the ministers was still the death of Gu Quan.
Gu Quan was no longer an obscure figure; his identity as part of the Gu Clan, along with the merits he earned in several major battles, had long established him as second only to Li Shimin in the army.
How could the ministers not care about the passing of such a person?
As for other speculations...
Some would naturally wonder about the identity of the masked general, yet no one dared to speak it out loud.
After all, Gu Quan had followed Gu Yu away in front of Li Yuan and the ministers.
And furthermore, no one believed...
That someone would pay such a price to support another.
