There is a reason why Gu Fan is so proud.

From the time he was sensible, he devoted himself to the practice of martial arts without wasting any of his talents. When he got older, he didn't like to stay at home, and spent most of the year traveling around the world, so he also

Get to know many heroes in the wilderness.

When socializing with these people, of course it is inevitable to go to places where fireworks are displayed. Compared with the young Pei Yue, Gu Fan is considered well-informed. Although he has not really had a taste of romance, at least he is not as good as Pei Yue.

The more he loses his composure.

However, Gu Zhen was also present at this time. He could not take this opportunity to laugh at Pei Yue. Seeing that the two of them were always awkward and couldn't even find a topic to talk about, he said to the maids and women standing behind Gu Zhen.

: "You guys go and wait in front. Brother Yue and I have something important to discuss."

An older woman smiled apologetically and said, "Fourth Young Master, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?"

Gu Fan frowned and said: "There is an inappropriate guy who doesn't even listen to my words. Does he want to get fisted?"

That man didn't dare to defend himself, so he led the others out of the main hall pitifully.

Taohua, who came in after being encouraged by Mr. Xi, had been standing silently. Except for serving tea to the three of them when she first came in, she had not said a word. At this time, she suddenly said to Pei Yue: "Master, let me go down and entertain these sisters-in-law."

With my sisters?"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Okay, you invite them to have tea in front."

After all the servants left, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to be more relaxed.

Gu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern: "Brother Pei, are you in trouble today?"

Although she was in the carriage before, she also knew that someone came to the village to cause trouble, and even the people following Pei Yue were injured, so she urged Gu Fan to go to help. At this time, Pei Yue was safe and sound, although she knew that there was no

It's a big deal, but after all, I'm still a little worried.

Pei Yue smiled and said: "To be honest with Sister Gu, it was my aunt's nephew who came to make trouble. Fortunately, Brother Gu Shi arrived in time to help me prevent this disaster."

Gu Zhen smiled slightly and said: "Fourth brother also appreciates Brother Pei. He has praised you at home, so he will definitely not stand idly by."

Gu Fan quickly shook his head and said, "I didn't!"

Pei Yue glanced at him and said with a smile: "Brother Gu Shi, praise me? I'm afraid he doesn't have a good word for me."

Although Gu Zhen has a gentle temperament, she is actually very smart. Looking at the reactions of the two of them, you can tell that they have a good relationship. Especially her fourth brother, who used to be so arrogant, ordinary dudes didn't take it seriously at all, and even felt ridiculed.

No. Now he and Pei Yue can ridicule each other, which shows that his heart is not what he shows on the surface.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Pei may not know that if my fourth brother really praises you behind your back, then he is separated from you."

When Pei Yue heard this, he looked at Gu Fan suspiciously, unable to tell that he was still a very arrogant person.

Gu Fan looked a little confused and sighed: "Little sister, I am your biological brother, why are you still turning your elbows outward?"

Gu Zhen's beautiful eyes turned, and she asked a little playfully: "Just outside the house, didn't the fourth brother say that he treats Brother Pei like a brother? Since they are so close, why should we distinguish between inside and outside?"

Pei Yue clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Sister Gu's words are absolutely true."

The two looked at each other and had a vague understanding.

Gu Fan looked left and right, suddenly feeling lonely and lonely that he was an outsider.

Seeing his strange expression, Pei Yue changed the topic and asked, "Brother, just now you said you had something important to discuss with me. What is it about?"

Gu Fan touched the back of his head and said casually: "It's not a big deal. I just want to remind you to try not to get too close to that Duke of Wei."

"Why?"

"Even if you leave the government and live another life, you are still a descendant of Dingguo and the grandson of Duke Xian Dingguo. Unlike people like Li Zijun, it will not be good for you to get too close to Duke Wei."

Pei Yue asked: "Because of the factional disputes in the army?"

Gu Fan said in a deep voice: "That's right. Let's put it this way. There is no doubt that the soldiers of Daliang are loyal to the emperor and the court. However, there are also factions in the army. The nine princes and twenty-seventh princes of the founding of the country have been in the same spirit and have been married for hundreds of years. Although Many families have declined, but they are still the most powerful force in the Liang Army. These people are naturally headed by Dingguo Gongfu. In addition, they are the generals who have been awarded titles for their military merits in the past hundred years, whether they are from the Tian family The method is still the natural closeness of people's hearts. These people gradually came together to form another huge force in the army."

Pei Yue thought thoughtfully: "This second force is now headed by Wei Guogong?"

Gu Fan nodded and said: "Who else could it be if he wasn't him? So other people can get close to him, such as Qin Xian, whose ancestor Pingyang Marquis was also the founding prince. Why don't they still respect the Duke of Wei? But you can't, unless you don't want to Your own surname."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "I understand, so I declined Wei Guogong's invitation today."

The Gu family brothers and sisters were a little surprised. It was obvious that they did not know Mr. Xi's true identity. With such a person who had been Pei Zhen's chief adviser for more than ten years carefully teaching him, Pei Yue knew far more inside information than they imagined. many.

But Pei Yue never imagined that things in the world are like a chess game, unpredictable, and no one can accurately predict which cloud will rain.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became harmonious, and the small hall in front was also very lively.

Peach Blossom is lively and cheerful. When faced with the maids and ladies of the Guangping Marquis Mansion, she handles them gracefully and generously, which easily arouses their affection. She is already talking and laughing, looking like a guest and a host enjoying themselves.

At this time, Aunt Qi suddenly appeared at the door of the small hall. Upon seeing this, Taohua first confessed to everyone, then walked outside the door and asked: "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Aunt Qi knew that Pei Yue had a different attitude towards this little girl, so she never showed her affection in front of her. The relationship between the two was very close. She smiled and said: "Girl, a peasant woman came outside. She said she was a country relative of the previous Cheng Zhuangtou. The old woman She said Cheng Zhuangtou was not here, but she didn't believe it and insisted on seeing the young master. Why don't you go out and tell her?"

Taohua nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you go."

After greeting the people from the Guangping Marquis Mansion, Taohua and Aunt Qi came outside the gate.

A woman in commoner clothes and hairpin skirt stood at the foot of the steps with a face full of anxiety and panic.

Aunt Qi stepped forward and said: "Sister-in-law, she is our young master's personal maid, she will never lie to you, right? I told you that Cheng Zhuangtou is no longer here a long time ago. He is now in the capital, but I just don't believe it. .”

With tears streaming down her face, the woman said miserably: "Girl, is it true that my cousin has been hit by the lottery?"

Taohua walked down the stone steps and came to the woman. Seeing her appearance, she couldn't help but asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, Cheng Zhuangtou has indeed returned to Kyoto. Do you have anything important to do with him?"

The woman stared blankly at Peach Blossom's face, then moved her eyes and saw the rough-carved jade pendant hanging on the girl's chest, and her expression changed slightly.

Taohua continued to ask: "Is it inconvenient for my sister-in-law to go into the capital to look for him?"

The woman suppressed the shock in her heart, her hands trembled slightly, and she shook her head and said: "I just have something to do at home, and I wanted to ask my cousin for help, but I didn't expect him to go back to Kyoto."

Seeing that her face turned pale, Taohua couldn't bear it, so she said, "How about I let the village's donkey cart take my sister-in-law to Kyoto? It's not very far, so it shouldn't take too long."

The woman shook her head repeatedly and said: "How can this happen? It's all fate. Thank you girl, thank you aunt. I have to go home early."

After saying that, he turned around and left without stopping for a moment.

Taohua always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out why. When she was going up the stone steps, she noticed that her jade pendant actually ran out of the compartment of her clothes. She thought that she was too excited when she saw the young master teach the dude a lesson, so she vomited quietly.

Sticking out his tongue, he put the jade pendant back.

Seeing this, Aunt Qi smiled sympathetically and said, "Girl, you go and entertain the guests, while the old woman prepares lunch."

"Yes." Taohua agreed. When she entered the door, she suddenly turned her head and looked outside, but she could no longer see the figure of the woman, as if she had never appeared at all.

That woman was Aunt Leng. After she came to Green Willow Village, she used the pretext of looking for a relative and obtained some information from the village's household registration. She originally planned to meet the young owner of the village, but what she didn't want to see was the concubine's personal body.

Maid.

However, just this sight almost gave her the idea of ​​kidnapping him on the spot!

At this moment, her steps were in panic, and her heart was full of regret, sorrow, and joy. Who could understand the pain of being separated from her flesh and blood for fourteen years if she didn't experience it personally?

Fortunately, God is merciful and these days are finally coming to an end.

It won't be long before she can come here again with her comrades, kill all the beasts that made her life worse than death, and take back her daughter.
