Chapter 186 Close the Net

 When Li Xiaonan woke up, Wan Qing had already gotten up. Seeing that she was awake, he hurriedly pointed outside, "The prince is here, hurry up!"

Li Xiaonan jumped up and hurriedly washed up and came out.

The lobby has been cleared, except for a table in front of the window near the inner courtyard.

Gu Yan was sitting at the table, reading a long document. When he heard the noise, he looked up and saw Li Xiaonan. He closed the long document and signaled Shi Gun to put away the pile of documents on the table.

"I heard that you were in danger last night. I invited a doctor to come with you. It seems..." Gu Yan looked Li Xiaonan up and down.

"I'm fine."

"I heard that you had a lot of dinner last night and slept until now. You are indeed fine. I was overly worried and asked the doctor to go back." Gu Yan nodded on the chair next to him.

"Where did you come from? You happened to be passing by?" Li Xiaonan sat down, took a few sips of tea.

"I came here from Pingjiang City." Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan carefully from top to bottom again.

"They caught him alive, have you tried it? What's going on?" Li Xiaonan put down her cup and asked.

"Eat first." Gu Yan motioned to the boy who was placing breakfast on the table.

The breakfast was very rich, but Li Xiaonan was not in the mood. She ate her breakfast and endured it until the waiter removed the dishes and brought tea again. Li Xiaonan asked again, "Have you reviewed it?"

"Well, they are all scoundrels in Changzhou City. They make a living by blackmailing. The three leaders are known as the three sworn brothers of Liuyuan. The second and third brothers rushed in front yesterday and are already dead. The boss's name is Shi Datou. Take it.

, saying that because you have so many horses, I thought it must be a rich person who robbed your wealth." Gu Yan sneered.

"Nonsense!" Li Xiaonan raised her eyebrows.

"Well, this Shi Datou is very loyal, so stupid."

"Then you asked?"

"He bit off his tongue himself. However, his brothers said that he often said that Mr. Zhu from the Xiangyun Zhu family was very kind to him. Before killing you, Shi Datou went to Pingjiang City. After the Customs and Excise Department was released,

Mr. Zhu has been living in the Zhu Family Courtyard in Pingjiang City."

"Because I buy a weaver? Because the Li family harvests autumn silkworm cocoons?" Li Xiaonan frowned.

"Maybe it's because you are too close to me." Gu Yan leaned forward and said seriously.

"I'm too close to you? When did I get close to you? Close! Did you say this word, or did someone else say it?" Li Xiaonan leaned back and leaned against the back of the chair with a look of disgust.
"Why are we not close anymore? How many people in the world can eat, drink tea with me, and sit and talk together like this? You are the only one among women!" Gu Yan stretched out his arms, curled his fingers, and stood in front of Li Xiaonan.

The sound of knocking on the table.

Li Xiaonan stared at Gu Yan, blinked several times, but failed to dismiss it.

It seems to be true.

But this can’t be called intimacy, right?

"How old are you this year? Has no one come to propose marriage to you?" Gu Yan asked, raising her head.

"No one proposes marriage to me because my second elder sister is still waiting to be married, and no one proposes marriage to my second elder sister. What's wrong with no one proposing marriage? You think everyone is like you, and the threshold is crossed by someone who proposes marriage."

?" Li Xiaonan refuted it rudely.

"Okay, okay, you're right." Gu Yan leaned back in his chair and chuckled.

"You said that A Wu's kung fu is very good. Yesterday I saw that the four servants of your family, including the coachman, were almost the same as A Wu. Are all your servants so good?" Li Xiaonan changed the topic.

This is something that needs to be asked clearly.

Gu Yan didn't answer and started laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Li Xiaonan glared at Gu Yan.

"You are so smart." Gu Yan simply laughed out loud.

Li Xiaonan wanted to roll her eyes, but resisted, moved, picked up the cup and drank tea.

"The attendants following you are not the attendants of the palace, and the coachmen are not the coachmen of the palace. Those are my personal guards.

"Ah Wu's brute force is comparable to them. If the enemy cuts off his machine and arranges his troops in formation, Ah Wu can compete with Wan Qing." Gu Yan said with a smile.

"Who came to meet you yesterday? Is he also your personal guard?" Li Xiaonan glanced at Gu Yan.

"No. They are using my rescue cannon. The cannon is in the air. Anyone seen, regardless of their subordinates, must rush to rescue immediately.

"The first batch to rush over yesterday was the Changzhou Army. I have already rewarded them for you." Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan with a smile.

Li Xiaonan frowned a little and looked at Gu Yan.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Yan met Li Xiaonan's gaze.

"Have you seen the previous legend called the Engagement Shop?" Li Xiaonan asked with a smile.

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and gave a vague hum.

"I don't like the story of the engagement shop very much. Regardless of whether reincarnation is true or false, past and future lives are too illusory. I just need to concentrate on living the present moment. I am here to enjoy and live a good life, not to pay off debts." Li Xiaonan

Look at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan, who had a serious face, and smiled for a moment: "Even if you have a debt, you are still the creditor."

"Let me rephrase the last sentence: I am not here to collect debts." Li Xiaonan immediately answered.

Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan for a moment, then laughed. After laughing for a while, Gu Yan stretched his head forward and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"You are a tiger and I am a quail. It's inappropriate." Li Xiaonan leaned back against the back of the chair.

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Look, you're scared, it's just a joke. The business you want to do is of great benefit to me, and it's my duty to protect you.

"Since Huang Xianzhou took over the post of the Customs and Excise Department, I asked him to live in Yang Wu's military camp. He must be accompanied by someone when he goes out. Zhou Chennian is also escorted when he travels outside."

Li Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Yan tilted her sideways, stretched out his fingers and tapped her face a few times, "I'm reminding you that you and I don't have such thoughts, and there's no guarantee that others don't, so you should be more careful."

"It's fine if you don't have it. It doesn't matter to anyone else." Li Xiaonan nodded quickly.

"If I am really an unreasonable bully and rob you, what are you going to do?" Gu Yan suddenly asked.

"I haven't thought about it, but I think I can definitely figure it out."

"What are your plans for tomorrow? Are you going to watch your weaver school?" Gu Yan asked.

"Hmm!"

"I have to go. From now on, you can leave late and rest early. Don't travel at night." Gu Yan stood up.

"Okay." Li Xiaonan simply agreed, stood up, and followed Gu Yan to the yard.

Watching Gu Yan leave the inn, Wan Qing trotted to Li Xiaonan and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Are you being reprimanded? Your monthly payment will be deducted?" Li Xiaonan looked at Wan Qing.

"None of them. The prince said that A Wu and Yu Ting were good guards, and each of them was rewarded with one hundred taels of silver." Wan Qing clicked her tongue enviously.

"Didn't I reward you?"

"Why should I be rewarded if I'm so scared?" Wan Qing rolled her eyes at Li Xiaonan.

"Well, logically speaking, A Wu and Yu Ting did it for me, and those long-term followers. Logically speaking, it's my turn to thank them with money." Li Xiaonan sighed.

"Do you have money?" Wan Qing asked politely.

"It just doesn't exist." Li Xiaonan sighed again, "But it shouldn't be like this."

He rewards her and thanks her, so that others won’t think too much!
