Lin Xiaoyue turned around awkwardly and took off her curtain hat, "Shhh! It's me and Mr. Gu! Let's go for a walk and we'll be back soon!"
Chen Yunyun didn't believe it. She stepped forward and took Lin Xiaoyue's hand and said, "Then I will accompany you for a walk!"
Lin Xiaoyue's face suddenly collapsed, she hugged Chen Yunyun's neck and said coquettishly: "Yunyun! We will be back soon! I swear!"
Chen Yunyun sighed and said: "Sister Lin, it's not that I won't let you go, today will definitely be very dangerous, and I don't want you to risk getting hurt! And Mr. Gu, the gauze on your face hasn't been removed yet! Why are you following along?
Nonsense?"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lin Xiaoyue pushed Gu Mian in front of her and said, "Mr. Gu, you see your bad idea has caused me to be blamed. It's up to you to explain this matter yourself!"
Gu Mian felt his head hurt. Lin Xiaoyue was so unloyal!
He simply lay down and said, "Miss Yunyun, why don't you come with us to watch the fun? There won't be many people!"
Lin Xiaoyue said disapprovingly: "She doesn't know any martial arts at all, and she doesn't have a hidden weapon for self-defense. She will be in danger!"
Gu Mian waved his hands and said, "What are you afraid of? My family has a shop selling rouge in Yangming Town. The route I heard Jing Yao tell yesterday is on that street. As long as we sit there, we won't see anything happening.
?And it’s very safe! Okay, let’s go!”
Chen Yunyun hugged Lin Xiaoyue's arm, smiled and took out the curtain hat from the bag on his back and put it on, "I also brought a bomb, don't worry!"
Only then did Lin Xiaoyue realize that Chen Yunyun was carrying a burden. It seemed that Chen Yunyun had made up his mind to follow him this time!
"Okay then! Let's go!"
The Gu family's rouge shop is very close to the county government office. When Gu Mian arrived at the shop, he took out the jade pendant without taking off his hat and looked at the shopkeeper, "Take us to the private room on the second floor!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" After the shopkeeper recognized Gu Mian, he personally took them to the largest box upstairs, served tea and water diligently, and wanted to use all his skills to flatter him. "I never thought that I would see this in my lifetime."
Young master, you are truly a lucky subordinate! Master, just ask for anything you need! Although our Hongfenrounzhi store is small, we have everything we need!"
Gu Mian thought the shopkeeper was too noisy here, so he threw a fine pearl over, "Well, I'm very satisfied, this is a reward for you! Go down and greet the guests, don't let anyone disturb you here!"
The shopkeeper is a knowledgeable person, holding the big pearl in both hands, he was so excited!
Such fine pearls have a price but no market. As expected, the Shaodong family is generous and well-deserved!
He stuffed the pearl into his arms, cupped his hands and said, "Yes! I obey!"
Without the shopkeeper in the box, it suddenly became quieter!
Gu Mian picked up the tea cup in a happy mood and said: "When you leave later, each of you will take back a piece of the best rouge. Our pink rouge is also ranked high in the capital!"
Lin Xiaoyue held Gu Mian's hand and whispered: "You will eat it later. I will test the poison with a silver needle first."
Gu Mian felt that Lin Xiaoyue was making a fuss. Although it was his first time to come to this branch, it was still his own, so how could he poison it?
He put down the tea cup and said funnyly: "Try it if you want! But you must be overthinking it!"
The silver needle in Lin Xiaoyue's hand was taken out from the space when Gu Mian was talking to the shopkeeper.
Ever since the assassin pretended to be Zhan Xiong twice in a row, Lin Xiaoyue has become even more careful. She would rather be suspicious than take another risk!
"It's best that I think too much!" Lin Xiaoyue put the silver needles into three tea bowls, and then pierced two plates of cakes, one plate of preserves, and one plate of fruits. After making sure that the silver needles had not changed color, she put them
The silver needle hid it, "It's not poisonous, just eat it!"
Gu Mian took a sip of tea and looked out the window and said, "Although our Gu family is regarded as a thorn in Emperor Liang's side, it is not that easy for him to arrange for someone to be replaced!"
Lin Xiaoyue asked curiously: "Oh? Why is this? Then why was Zhan Xiong arrested? Emperor Liang asked people to disguise themselves twice, and we were almost fooled!"
Gu Mian explained with a smile: "First of all, we are different from Jing Yao. We don't even know how many branches we have in the entire Dongsui Kingdom! If Jing Yao hadn't opened a branch in Yangming Town, I wouldn't have known about it.
!Then our shopkeeper and waiter are both sons of our Gu family. They come out to do things, but their family members are still working in the government, so they dare not betray!"
"Furthermore, how powerful Jing Yao's martial arts is, and how many Silver Sword Guards he has under his command. Emperor Liang knows better than anyone else that he wants to kill Jing Yao. The best way is to disguise himself as Jing Yao's most trusted person, so that he can defeat Jing Yao.
He struck when he was unprepared! But we, the children of the Gu family, don’t have many high martial arts skills. We have the reputation of being an imperial merchant, but we are actually businessmen. If Emperor Liang wants to kill us, all he needs is an imperial edict!"
Lin Xiaoyue probably understood what Gu Mian meant, that is, Emperor Liang used the same method to deal with Liang Jingyao to deal with the Gu family, that is, killing a chicken with a bull's knife!
Moreover, so many of the Gu family's stores are like cornucopias of treasures. How could Emperor Liang be willing to destroy them? He would only destroy the entire Gu family, and then pocket all the Gu family's properties!
Lin Xiaoyue felt sad for Gu Mian. Behind the glamor, in the eyes of the superiors, he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
"You're right! I hope Brother Liang can succeed, so that we can pull your Gu family out of the quagmire!"
Gu Mian smiled and nodded, saying, "I believe in Jing Yao! He will definitely succeed!"
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the increasing number of passers-by on the road, feeling a little anxious. She wondered if the Cheetah Army had entered the city? She wouldn't have missed it, right?
"Mr. Gu, why is there still no movement on the street? Are we late?"
Gu Mian shook his head and said: "No! Last night, when Jing Yao and the others laid out their plans, I also listened. They were robbing the forces that Emperor Liang had deployed in Yangming Town, some of which were in your teahouse.
Some are here. But they mainly focus here, because it is close to the county government office, so there is no need to go to the government office to report the crime. The county magistrate can hear it even when he is sitting in the government office. Jing Yao's intention is to settle down the Cheetah Army as soon as possible.
The more people we have, the easier things will be done!”
Lin Xiaoyue agrees with this!
Emperor Liang has more and more tricks, and they are getting more and more spicy. A few people of silver and silver are really not enough!
Lin Xiaoyue leaned against the window and said, "That's true! It seems that there are more government officials patrolling today. Usually there are only four or five people walking around the door of the teahouse. Today there are two waves of people going back and forth. I counted almost twenty people!"
Gu Mian raised his eyebrows, stared down for a while, and said: "I just saw that there were not many government officials patrolling. It seems that the Cheetah Army has entered the city, and the county magistrate is also ready! We should be there soon
Saw it!"
But Lin Xiaoyue was still puzzled, "If your analysis is correct, then where will Brother Liang and the other Silver Slash Guards be?"
