"What are your orders, Master?" Two people emerged from the darkness, it was Yuan Feng and Wang Meng.
That day, Fu Xie came out to rescue Yuan Feng, Wang Meng, and Tian Tianye at the Suzhou temple fair.
The three knew how to repay their kindness and followed him to the death. They always lived in Tantai Mansion and secretly protected Tantai Mansion and Tantai Heqing.
"Mr. Yuan, Mr. Wang, you two are secretly protecting Miss Gu."
"Don't worry, sir, even if we fight to the death, we won't let anyone hurt Miss Gu even a hair."
"Please, you two."
People who know Gu Xianting's identity naturally don't dare to attack Gu Xianting. They are afraid that those who don't know will be eradicated simply as competition. Xie Fu is cautious, just in case.
Xie Fu and Ye Yui returned to Xie's Mansion.
On the carriage, Ye Yuiyi smiled and said: "Brother Fu, I think Miss Gu is also very interesting to you."
Xie Fu's heart trembled, and he felt inexplicable joy, and said: "Sister Yui, don't talk nonsense."
Ye Yui smiled and said: "Such a beautiful little lady is willing to show her face to you like this. If she is not interested in you, do you think it is possible?"
"Sister Yui, you have only been in contact with her for a short time, and you don't know her as a person yet. This Miss Gu is more righteous than a man."
"If it's purely righteous, do you think it's appropriate?"
Xie Fu did not respond. Now is not the time to talk about children's personal affairs. Let's wait until things stabilize.
…
At night, Ye Meixun and several others were studying the five tender documents in the study.
After Ye Meixun read Gu Xianting's tender document in one breath, he felt very happy and felt like a close friend.
The content of the tender document was exactly what he had been thinking about but was embarrassed about. The businessman's interests came first, but this move was thankless.
Then he blurted out and asked: "Whose is this tender document?"
Liu Wanli responded: "Sir, this tender document belongs to Gu Xianting."
"There is a signature on the bid document. Of course I know it is Gu Xianting. I am asking you where you are from?"
"Master, she is a beautiful little lady. She seems to have appeared out of thin air. I don't understand her either."
"Is she a little girl?"
After Ye Meixun was surprised, he asked: "How could it appear out of thin air? Can ordinary people just take out a hundred thousand taels?"
Liu Wanli said: "Maybe... maybe there is someone behind it..."
Ye Meixun raised his hand to interrupt Liu Wanli's words. Obviously, what Liu Wanli was about to say was very likely. It was a rare thing for a woman to show up in public, let alone on such a grand occasion.
"This tender document is full of rhetoric and unrealistic words, but...it is somewhat feasible. Wan Li, you guys should read this tender document carefully first."
…
In the study room of Zhu Donglai of the Zhu family.
Zhu Donglai asked an old man: "Lu An, what has Lu Tao done recently?"
"Sir, since Lu Tao met Zhang Zhenghe and Gu Xuan at Huafang last time, Lu Tao has been busy with official duties these days."
Zhu Donglai asked: "Have you not met them two again?"
"No."
"Okay, you go back first. If Lu Tao makes any changes, please report to me at any time, especially the people of Guiyun Sect."
After the old man left, a man appeared from the darkness: "Master Zhu, are you afraid?"
Zhu Donglai sneered: "If I am afraid, I will be a father in vain. If Gong Qiu goes to Yang, don't doubt my determination to take revenge!"
The visitor sat down opposite Zhu Donglai. It was Gong Qiu Shangyang.
Regarding the death of his son Zhu Jiuchun, Zhu Donglai has always been brooding and deeply suspicious, and investigated secretly.
From the words of the two heroes of the Zhu family, Zhou Qian and Liu Guangmu, Zhu Donglai learned that his son Zhu Jiuchun had a secret quarrel with Xie Fu.
Since his son's death, the relationship between Lei Yuanzong and the Zhu family has rapidly cooled.
Combined with the fact that Zhu Jiuchun once induced Taoist Su Kun to kill Xie Fu, Zhu Donglai felt that Xie Fu was the biggest disdain for killing his son.
Just when the truth was about to come to light, Gong Qiu Shangyang appeared and told Zhu Donglai the desired result - Zhu Jiuchun died in the hands of Xie Fu.
This is also the reason why Zhu Donglai has been unwilling to settle down recently and has made a series of actions.
As he just said, if he cannot avenge his son, Zhu Donglai will be a father in vain.
Of course, Xie Fu, who had become the prince's son-in-law, was not easy to deal with. From Gong Qiu Shangyang's words, he also learned that Xie Fu was a top expert who could get along with Wang Youtong.
In order to deal with such a master, he cooperated with Di Zong and wanted to use Wei Wushi's help to eradicate Xie Fu.
It's just that things have become a bit complicated recently, with the Gu, Lu, and Zhang families also involved.
On the surface, the Gu, Lu, and Zhang families would naturally not let Xie Fu die in Suzhou. In order to please the prince, Zhu Donglai didn't know how much effort and sacrifice the three families were willing to make.
He is also slowly testing the bottom line of the three families.
Gong Qiu Shangyang said: "Wei Wushi did not kill Xie Fu."
Zhu Donglai asked: "What happened that night?"
Gong Qiu Shangyang said: "In order to prevent Wei Wushi from discovering me, I did not show up. I only know that the Loujiang water and the Songjiang water had strange phenomena one after another that night. Ordinary people thought it was the angry river god."
Zhu Donglai was secretly shocked. If Xie Fu could fight Wei Wushi without dying, it would be really terrible. It was too terrible. He asked: "Are you afraid of Wei Wushi?"
"Afraid!"
"You are the King of Bright Sun in Jingcai Cathedral of the Great Qin Dynasty, and you are as equal as Ao Ting."
"Wei Wushi, who kills gods at the sight of gods and demons at the sight of demons, is not in vain. Perhaps he is more terrifying than Ao Ting. My injuries have not fully recovered, and I do not want to meet Wei Wushi for the time being."
"Gong Qiu Shangyang, if you were in your prime, could you kill Fu Xie?"
"I'm not sure."
Zhu Donglai smiled contemptuously: "Then why do I need to cooperate with you?"
Gong Qiu Shangyang said calmly: "Of course, Lord Zhu can reveal my whereabouts and let the four clans in Wuzhong and the Di Zong Xuanzong turn their guns against me, but Lord Zhu will be hard to explain by then."
Zhu Donglai knew that Gong Qiu Shangyang was threatening him, so he smiled lightly: "Gong Qiu Shangyang, you are not my enemy."
A smart person will stop talking about it and will not get entangled in this matter. Gong Qiu Shangyang said: "I think Lord Zhu is very afraid of Lu Tao?"
Zhu Donglai said calmly: "The four clans in Wuzhong belong to the same family. What I am afraid of is also what Lu Tao is afraid of, but..."
"But what..."
Zhu Donglai smiled and said: "Lu Tao has been an official for too long. He has become indecisive and has suffered from obstacles everywhere. He no longer has the spirit of the past. This is his weakness. When he reacts, I have already taken the initiative.
"
Gong Qiu Shangyang asked: "Where is the Gu family?"
"Gu Wanru is getting old. As for Zhang Zhenghe, he always takes the loyal and famous Zhang Zhi as his role model. It is too stupid and upright."
"The only one I'm worried about is Gu Xuan. This guy is a tough guy. He seems kind and friendly, but he's also tough and fierce. It's a pity that he's not the one who calls the shots in the Gu family."
Gong Qiu Shangyang said: "I have always wanted to fight Gu Xuan, but it's a pity that my injury has not fully recovered at the moment."
Zhu Donglai responded: "It's best not to."
"Master Zhu, is it true that Gu Xuan is the number one person in Suzhou?"
"Although he is known as the first person, he may not be the real first person,"
