"An assassin entered our villa and injured our master. We followed the assassin here and suspected that he escaped into your village. We want to go in and search. We hope that the master will show his respect."
Gu Chengyu glanced at the person who spoke. He was about forty, holding a knife in his hand. The three people behind him were also dressed in the same clothes, a few steps behind, led by this person. Looking at the clothes, Gu Chengyu thought he should be a first-rate guard.
Gu Chengyu felt that this man raised his chin slightly when he spoke, and his attitude was very arrogant. He did not look like an ordinary guard, but more like a high-ranking person who often gave orders.
"Master, Zhuangzi has been surrounded by our people. The assassins can hardly fly even if they have wings."
Gu Chengyu was waiting for a reply when someone came to report to the man on horseback.
Gu Chengyu felt angry after hearing this. In this world, as long as you have power, you can do whatever you want.
"Master, since you said you were suspicious, it means you didn't see the assassin escaping into my village with your own eyes, so why did you surround the village? Do you think you are sure that the assassin is in my village?"
His Highness raised his eyebrows, quite tempered.
He looked at Gu Chengyu, and after a long while he said: "We have already searched the other nearby Zhuangzi, and found no suspicious people. This area is all farmland, and it has snowed again. There is nowhere to hide. I'm afraid today
I’m going to offend you.”
The golden ginseng collar looked at his master in surprise. His master was always aloof and rarely explained so much to others.
After being surprised, he glanced at Gu Chengyu, did this young man have any origins? Then they couldn't force their way in. His master had never mentioned the matter of forcing his way in since the young man came out.
Then, his tone became calmer, "If the assassin is not caught for one day, my master will not be able to sit back and relax. I hope you will forgive me!"
Gu Chengyu pondered for a while. For this reason, it would be unkind for him not to agree. But it would be too easy to just let them in.
"In this case, why not let my people search the village. If they find the assassin, I will hand it over to you."
Jin Shenling found it very funny that this young man had negotiated terms with his master despite his identity.
If his master hadn't wanted to reveal his identity, how would he have gotten this young man to be here?
His Highness gradually lost his patience. Could it be that Gu Chengyu was delaying time? He once again doubted Gu Chengyu.
"Mr. Gu is blocking me like this. Could it be that he is an accomplice of the assassin? Or maybe you are the assassin?"
His Highness narrowed his eyes slightly and stared closely into Gu Chengyu's eyes, as if trying to see whether there was any panic hidden in his eyes.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he chuckled.
"Master, you think too highly of me. Do you think I look like an assassin? I don't have that ability. Besides, I have no enmity with you, so why should I assassinate him?"
Is he full? However, this person has actually investigated his origins.
His Highness stared at Gu Chengyu closely, feeling that his eyes were hazy and could not see clearly!
It seemed that the assassin would not be caught today, and he already had a premonition in his heart.
"Since he is not a young master, then the young master should prove his innocence."
After His Highness finished speaking, he raised his chin towards the golden ginseng collar.
Jin Shenling checked his eyes and immediately realized that the master was suspicious of this young man? He looked at Gu Chengyu, whose temples were slightly wet, and couldn't help but become suspicious.
The assassin was wounded in the chest. He had to look at Gu Chengyu's chest before going in to search.
Jin Shenling stopped talking and stepped forward directly, preparing to approach Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu's face turned gloomy, he was simply bullying someone too much. He put his hand behind his back and placed it on the soft sword at his waist. As long as this person comes forward, no matter what official he is, he will be able to strike.
"Chengyu! What happened?" Zhu Pang's voice came from behind Gu Chengyu.
He had just sobered up, and as soon as he got up, he heard the servants in the village talking about someone blocking the gate and wanting to go in to search for some assassin. At this moment, Gu Chengyu was confronting those people.
After Zhu Pang heard this, he pulled Zheng Lun, who was still in a daze, and ran towards the front yard.
Seeing a large number of torches at the door, his heart sank and his footsteps became more urgent. It seemed that there were many people. He didn't have any other skills, but he was still good at fighting.
Gu Chengyu felt a little helpless when he heard Zhu Pang's voice. He turned around and saw that Zhu Pang and Deng Lun were indeed here. He didn't see Sun Xian and the others, so he thought they hadn't woken up yet.
With his friends around, he couldn't act recklessly, lest he accidentally hurt the two of them. After all, there were many people on the other side, and they were all good players.
"But what happened? We are here to help you." Zhu Pang shouted to the other side, and was so frightened that he immediately stopped talking.
After being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly pulled Deng Lun to kneel down and said, "Zhu Pang, the son of the Minister of War, comes to see His Royal Highness the First Prince."
Deng Lun had also sobered up from his drink. Before he could recover, he was pulled to his knees by Zhu Pang. Hearing Zhu Pang's voice, he looked to the other side.
Seeing this, I was extremely surprised, why is the eldest prince here?
"Student Deng Lun meets His Royal Highness the First Prince!"
Zhu Pang gave Gu Chengyu a hand with his left hand and said softly: "See the eldest prince quickly!"
Gu Chengyu was shocked. He had long thought that this person had a high official position, but he didn't expect that he was the eldest prince. What a coincidence. They just mentioned the eldest prince today, and now they actually met the real person.
But when he looked at the eldest prince's expression, he didn't look like someone who had been ill for a long time. However, it could not be ruled out that he had recovered a long time ago.
The eldest prince didn't expect to meet Zhu Pang here. Of course he knew Zhu Pang. Zhu Kui, the Minister of War, often wiped the butt of this bastard son.
I didn't expect that someone like Gu Chengyu would be with Zhu Pang.
As for Deng Lun, he simply ignored him. He didn't pay any attention to the son of a concubine in the prince's mansion. His father had nothing to do all day long, and he didn't even want to be a seventh-rank official.
No matter how reluctant Gu Chengyu was, she could only lift up her hem and kneel down.
"Student Gu Chengyu meets His Royal Highness the First Prince!"
Looking at Gu Chengyu kneeling on the ground, the eldest prince felt that his mood suddenly improved.
However, since his whereabouts were exposed today, I am afraid that the other courtyard will be temporarily unavailable and everything in the other courtyard will have to be evacuated.
"Everyone, get up! Mr. Gu, I will bring someone into your village to inspect it and make sure not to damage any of the plants or trees in the village. Mr. Gu, do you have any objections?"
Gu Chengyu cursed in his heart, looking at the arrogant attitude when speaking, is this asking him? This is obviously a notification.
"Since Your Highness is not at ease, the student will naturally have to prove his innocence. Your Highness, please!" Gu Chengyu stood up, and the old man stood aside and moved out of the way.
There is a smile on the face, but in the heart I am beating up the villain, but it is better to be powerful!
When the eldest prince saw Gu Chengyu's unwillingness to say a word, although he had a smile on his face, he couldn't figure out how to scold him!
The eldest prince ordered a group of people and walked straight into the village.
Jin Shenling glanced at Gu Chengyu and the others. If he had known that his identity would be exposed, he might as well have revealed his identity long ago to avoid talking so much nonsense.
