"Actually, you don't know something! I got a big deal in the capital this time. I made some money, but I offended a lot of people. Oh! This is my follower Hoi'an. Although he has some abilities, he is hard to beat with both fists.
Four hands! Yesterday Hui'an said that the young master is very skilled, so we would like to ask the young master to protect us for a while. When we get to the capital, we will be grateful!"
Mr. Hu pretended to be in trouble and explained his difficulties.
Gu Chengyu pretended to ponder, and then shook his head helplessly.
"Originally, Mr. Hu and I met by chance, but you and I got along well, so this can be of help. It's just an unfortunate coincidence that I am returning to my hometown this time, and my parents have not seen each other for more than two months. Now I am also
It's almost time to return home. Besides, I will be going to the capital in a few months, so I can only forgive you and I can't do anything about Mr. Hu!"
Gu Chengyu had actually guessed that the other party was interested in his skills. But Mr. Hu looked like an official. Officials were not allowed to leave their posts without permission during the holidays, so he must have brought something with him when he came out.
task.
Moreover, it is still a secret mission, and it may be extremely dangerous. Look at his outfit. Although pretending to be a businessman is not successful in his eyes, it is still successful in fooling ordinary people. When a businessman goes out to do business, everyone will do it in order to get the business done.
I dress well to show off, but there is only one valuable ring on my body.
Besides, he is not short of money, so he would not do such a thing. He is still a civil servant, so it is better to have less contact with the affairs of the court. It is impossible to say that the Jiang bandits are here for Mr. Hu. It is also possible
.It was too dangerous, Gu Chengyu planned to stay away from him.
"Oh? Are you still a human?" It's not that Gu Chengyu doesn't look like a human being, but that no one has such skills.
Gu Chengyu smiled and said nothing. Now that the other party's purpose was finished, he should leave.
"You came back at this time, are you taking part in the Spring Festival Examination? Oh! The smallest candidate was elected this year, could it be you?"
Hu Maoshen was shocked. He originally wanted to say that if Gu Chengyu was willing to agree to him, he would not hesitate to expose his identity and plan for the other party in the future. He would still be able to get a martial arts career. With such strong martial arts skills, the Holy Emperor also cherishes talents and would not disagree.
Going to Fengding Mansion must be very dangerous, and he really needs such a person to protect him. But the other person is the youngest person to be elected in the Dayan Dynasty, and in the spring of three years, there is a great hope of being named on the gold list. How can such a person be possible?
Will you agree?
In this case, there is no other way to think about it.
"I'm sorry to say that I'm being rude, but your surname is Gu?"
"Exactly!" Gu Chengyu nodded in agreement.
"That's a pity. I didn't expect that you are the elegant and elegant Gu Jieyuan."
Gu Chengyu felt that the other party was at least a court official, so he couldn't offend anyone. He also had to take the exam to become an official. In the future, he would raise his head but not lower his head in court. Besides, the other party's official position may not be low, so the last courtesy was still required.
After Gu Chengyu left, Hui'an stepped forward and asked: "Sir! I didn't expect that he was the Jieyuan in the provincial examination! I don't know how he learned this kung fu. I saw that he had deep internal strength, and I thought he had taken Tianjin since he was a child.
It’s a treasure of material and earth!”
"The Gu family was originally just a farmer in the countryside, and life has only gotten better in recent years. It is impossible to take the gift of Dibaoyue." Hu Maoshen pondered deeply. The gang of Jiang bandits may have come for them, so their whereabouts are unknown.
It was leaked. He was hesitating whether he should ask the Holy One to send more people over?
As for Gu Chengyu, everyone in the capital knows about it. After all, the other party has become famous as a young man. Of course they, the officials, know it. They even know exactly what the three generations of Gu Chengyu's family did. The difference is that some officials will ask, and some
The officials were dismissive and did not take Gu Chengyu into their eyes at all!
"Then he started learning martial arts from his mother's womb?" Hui'an felt a little unfair. He had practiced martial arts for more than 20 years before he developed such skills. He was only an eleven-year-old boy, how could he be so capable?
sharp?
"This man should not be underestimated. According to him, he is going to the Imperial College in the capital. It seems that the capital is about to stir up trouble again."
Gu Chengyu took Mingmo back to the house, and by this time the boat passengers outside had dispersed.
He asked Ming Yan to fetch water and prepared to wash up and go to bed. Unexpectedly, there was another knock on the door.
Gu Chengyu has a headache. He just dealt with an old fox, can he still be allowed to rest?
Ming Yan also felt that it was so late and he still came to disturb her, maybe someone else had something to ask for, right?
"Go and take a look. Except for Senior Brother Sun and the others, everyone else said that I just fell asleep!" Gu Chengyu had to sort out the thoughts in his mind. He heard from Mr. Hu that he wanted to go to Fengding Mansion, and he is now
What he did was very dangerous, otherwise I wouldn't want him to protect me.
He inexplicably thought of the thieves they encountered when they were staying at the inn when they were taking exams in Fucheng three years ago. At that time, the magistrate Chiang just told him to leave the matter alone, and the matter was settled. However, he never heard of Fengding again after that.
There was some case of a caravan being robbed.
Could it be related to this incident? When Chiang Kai-shek talked about this incident, he kept it secret.
"Sir, there is a steward on the ship outside the door. I sent him away." Ming Yan came over and reported.
"Hmm! But what happened to the Jiang bandits?" The stewards on the ship would not come to him if nothing happened. Could it be that someone among the Jiang bandits was seriously injured and could not survive?
"That's not true. He said that there was a scholar on the ship who passed the customs and was exempted from taxes. But didn't that person participate in the fight against the enemy? He was injured in the end and is still lying on the bed to rest! Let's talk before boarding the ship.
He's just a human being, so he just wanted to ask the young master if he could go out and stand on the boat when he passed the checkpoint."
The so-called "stop the ship" actually means that when passing the checkpoint, a scholar or a person can stand on the bow of the ship to make the ship tax-free.
Gu Chengyu lost interest immediately after hearing this. It was already very late now. For Gu Chengyu, who was accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early in ancient times, it was already time to go to bed.
The next day, Gu Chengyu got up refreshed. After finishing the painting, he found Ming Mo walking over with a gossipy face. He was also carrying a food box in his hand, but the food box didn't look like something from a ship.
.
"Master! This was sent by Gao Mama upstairs. Master was painting, so I didn't let her come in to disturb him. She just put down the food box and left."
Gu Chengyu finally understood where Ming Mo's gossipy look came from. Later, Ming Mo and the others also knew about the fact that he saved the master and servant upstairs. At that time, Ming Mo said that he was a hero who saved a beautiful woman, but it was just a joke.
He was severely criticized by Gu Chengyu.
This is not a village, and rich families have many rules. If anyone hears it, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the girl's family? Therefore, he ordered them not to talk nonsense, and not to go out to publicize even the grace of saving their lives.
If something like this happened to a little girl, if it was spread randomly, it might be spread beyond recognition, and the rumors could also kill people.
