The younger brother of the Feng family has never been a willful child. When he heard Gu Qiancheng say that he had something to do in the evening, he stopped talking and obediently picked up the little ferret and waited for Gu Qiancheng to send him back.
Gu Qiancheng confessed and went out with the Feng family's younger brother. By the time the old man of the Gu family learned about this, Gu Qiancheng and the Feng family's younger brother had already left for a long time. His plan to arrange for the Feng family's younger brother and Chengzhi to have dinner together was natural.
Failed.
Although the old man had regrets, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. He had not forgotten His Highness Qin's warning to him. Now he did not dare to monitor Gu Qiancheng at all, let alone ask Gu Qiancheng to do things.
Mr. Gu has always known that Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan have a normal relationship, but he never thought that Qin Jiyan would value Gu Qiancheng so much. After being warned by Qin Jiyan that time, Mr. Gu never dared to
Gu Qiancheng's idea.
Anyway, with the relationship between Gu Qiancheng and His Highness Qin, their Gu family will rise again sooner or later.
When Gu Qiancheng sent the younger brother of the Feng family to the Feng family, he met Mr. Feng. The old man was not surprised at all when he saw Gu Qiancheng, as if he was specially waiting for her. However, the old man did not say much to Gu Qiancheng and only told him
If anything happens to her, she can come to Feng's house to find him. He will be at home tonight.
Gu Qiancheng looked at the old man in surprise and wanted to ask, but the old man didn't give her a chance and directly sent his servants to escort Gu Qiancheng out.
Gu Qiancheng felt uneasy, but he understood that the old man didn't want to say anything, so even if she asked, it would be in vain, so she had to leave with full of doubts...
After Gu Qiancheng left, Mr. Feng called the people around him and asked: "Is His Royal Highness the Grandson in the palace?"
"Here, the emperor's grandson entered the palace in the afternoon and has not left the palace." From the corner, an old servant in gray clothes came out and whispered.
"Where is Jing Yan?" the old man asked again, and the old servant in gray clothes quickly replied without thinking: "The emperor's grandson rejected the post on behalf of Lord Jing, saying that Lord Ming Jing has no time to attend the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet."
"Go down." The old man waved his hand, raised his eyelids slightly, and then drooped them back.
Even if he knew that Qin Jiyan was targeting Jing Yan, it wouldn't matter. He had no control over the Tian family's affairs, and he couldn't.
Gu Qiancheng left the Feng family and was still thinking about Old Man Feng. She always felt that Old Man Feng knew something?
But without giving Gu Qiancheng a chance to think about it, the secret guard came out hurriedly: "Miss Gu, there is something strange about the target, and it seems that she is preparing to escape."
"Sign up with people and I'll go over now." Gu Qiancheng heard that there was a problem with the target and had no time to think about Mr. Feng's attitude. He immediately asked the driver to stop, then jumped on the horse and rode away.
Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the curfew will be two hours later than usual. In addition to the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet in the palace, there are also many activities outside. Many men and women will go out today.
At this time, it was the beginning of the lanterns, and the merchants and vendors had already set up shop. The streets were full of lanterns, like stars. Although not as bright as during the day, it still had a different flavor. Many people came out early to enjoy the night view of the Imperial City.
.
The street was full of people and very crowded. When Gu Qiancheng rode his horse to the main road, he was blocked outside and couldn't get in. Gu Qiancheng got off his horse without thinking, walked through the crowd and walked towards the Star Picking Tower in the north of the city.
Zhaixinglou is a gold-selling cave that has recently emerged. It has a little reputation in the market and is only spread among the disciples of rich and wealthy men. In Gu Qiancheng’s words, Zhaixinglou is a modern private club with high fees but excellent service.
It's famously good.
Of course, Zhaixinglou does not provide the service of reaching for stars. The "star" in Zhaixinglou refers to women, young, beautiful and charming women.
The girls in Zhaixinglou are not like the girls in brothels. A little red lips are worth a thousand dollars. Whichever girl you like in Zhaixinglou belongs to you only. Before you get tired of it, there will be no second chance of her.
guest.
Zhaixinglou is not just a brothel. In addition to charming women, there are also various other pastimes, such as gambling...
The gambling games in Zhaixinglou are different from those simple and crude casinos outside. Zhaixinglou does not provide gambling clubs such as dice. The gambling in Zhaixinglou is about the life and death of the people on the stage.
That's right, every night there is a gambling game between humans and beasts in the Star-Zhaing Tower. People fight with each other, and humans fight with animals. It's up to you who wins and who loses. The winner survives, and the loser dies on the stage.
The bloody, violent, and exciting gambling in Zhaixinglou has attracted many dandy boys in the capital to become obsessed with it. In just six months, it has become the favorite pastime of the rich and powerful in the capital.
Star-Zhaing Tower developed very rapidly, but before that, Gu Qiancheng didn't know about the existence of Star-Zhaing Tower, which shows how powerful the owner behind it is.
The streets were crowded, but this did not affect Gu Qiancheng. With the two guards opening the way, Gu Qiancheng passed through the crowd without any hindrance...
However, the sharp contrast between their fast pace and the leisurely pace of passers-by on the street soon attracted the attention of interested people.
"Girl, someone is following us." The guard noticed there was a tail behind him and whispered in Gu Qiancheng's ear.
"Go to the alley in front." Gu Qiancheng kept walking. After walking out of the crowd, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction to the Star Reaching Tower. The people behind him saw this and quickly followed...
The group of people quickly walked out of the lively neighborhood. Gu Qiancheng quickly ducked into a dark alley, and the people following behind him also quickly chased after them. But as soon as they walked in, they found that they had come to a dead end alley, and the alley
There was no sign of Gu Qiancheng at all.
"Damn it, I lost you." The three people who were following Gu Qiancheng turned around immediately, but they saw the person they were following standing at the entrance of the alley looking at them.
The three people who were following them were immediately frightened and stammered: "Miss, Miss?" With this shout, their identities were exposed.
"Who sent you here?" Gu Qiancheng stood at the entrance of the alley with her arms folded, the cold moonlight shining on her face, making her face vaguely evil.
"Yes, yes, it's the old man." The person following him had no backbone at all. Gu Qiancheng said as soon as he asked, but...
Only Gu Qiancheng will believe that there will be ghosts.
The old man is a smart man. He knows the relationship between her and Qin Jiyan and will never mess around.
Gu Qiancheng looked at each other up and down and said contemptuously: "Did Gu Chengzhi send you here?"
"No, it's not..." The person following him shook his head without thinking and hurriedly explained, but Gu Qiancheng had no intention of listening and said coldly: "Break their feet, throw them to the old man, and tell him: No matter who it is,
I will blame him for this, so don’t blame me for being rude next time."
You are a family person. No matter who sends you, the old man has an unshirkable responsibility.
"No, no, Miss, we are the old lady's people, you can't..." The people who were following heard Gu Qiancheng's words and shouted in fright. They wanted to run, but there was no way behind them, and the road in front had long been blocked.
Gu Qiancheng and his group were blocked.
The secret guard jumped out of the darkness and quickly subdued the stalker. The moment Gu Qiancheng turned around, there was a "click" in the alley, followed by a dull sound of pain...
Without looking back, Gu Qiancheng knew how painful the other party was. He closed his eyes indifferently, and Gu Qiancheng didn't feel any softness.
If she is not tough, others will bully her.
After dealing with the stalker, Gu Qiancheng changed direction and rushed towards the Star-Zhaing Tower. However, she and even the secret guards did not know that in the darkness, there was a young man in the corner who had a panoramic view of this scene...
