The leader immediately raised his head, looked around, and found that the shopkeeper Er He was some distance away from them, and then gave the other party a warning look.
The man coughed, "You are just too concerned, aren't there just the four of them here?"
The second shopkeeper and the shopkeeper are still busy over there! Where can I hear what they say?
"Sir! I don't think these three people look like scholars, but they look like children of some aristocratic family in the capital. I'm afraid they are going to Jiangnan at this time."
The other person couldn't help it anymore. He had just wanted to say it. Now Gu Chengyu and the others were gone, so he no longer had any worries.
The leader frowned, glanced at the other three helplessly, and then began to think deeply.
He suddenly remembered that his master had said, who are the most capable people in the court? Of course it must be Gu Jinyu, the number one scholar two years ago!
This Gu Jinyu not only has extraordinary literary talent, but also has a good-looking appearance. In the public eye, his appearance can rival his literary talent.
The young man just now was indeed good-looking. He had sighed in his heart when he first saw him. Could this be Gu Jinyu?
But Gu Jinyu was an official of the Hanlin Academy, so the emperor would send him to deal with the flood in Changtian Mansion? He found it a bit unbelievable.
Since they had set out a few days earlier, of course they didn't know that Gu Chengyu had been transferred to Dali Temple and had been promoted to three levels in a row.
Little did he know that the emperor had already ordered Gu Chengyu to be the imperial envoy to go to Jiangnan to deal with the matter.
Gu Chengyu and Ming Mo moved forward for a while, and then their horses slowed down.
"Young Master! I wonder if those two people will ambush ahead. Why don't Ming Yan and I go ahead to explore the road?" Ming Mo suggested as he rode his horse to catch up with Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu suddenly reined in the reins and looked forward.
There was only a lush forest in front of him, but there was lush vegetation in front of him. Gu Chengyu felt that if he wanted to ambush, that would definitely be a good place.
"No need! I can't see through that old man, we have to put our hearts first!" Gu Chengyu frowned, that old man was not an ordinary person.
Regardless of whether the other party has hidden skills or is stronger than him in internal strength, this is the reason why Gu Chengyu is wary.
This was the first time that Gu Chengyu was so afraid of someone. He sighed a little, it's true! There is heaven outside the world, and there are people outside the world!
In the grass in front of them, the man and the old man who should have gone away long ago were squatting there, watching Gu Chengyu and the others' every move with concentration.
The man waited for a while and saw Gu Chengyu and the others stopped, as if they were still chatting halfway along the way.
"What's going on? Why don't they come over? Did they discover us?"
The man's low and hoarse voice sounded, speaking in a strange Mandarin dialect, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
The old man squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the three people who were standing there motionless. He sighed slightly.
"Let's go! They are difficult to deal with. We don't want to create complications. It is more important to complete the master's mission first. We will look for opportunities to get rid of this person later."
The old man spoke Mandarin, with a hint of Beijing accent.
"What? It would be a pity not to take advantage of such a good opportunity this time. There may not be such a good opportunity next time. If not, wait a little longer!"
The man disagreed. He felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and he would have to work harder to find this person next time.
They are just three young boys. How powerful can they be? The man said that the other party was smart. Could it be that his martial arts skills could be higher than his?
When you are only ten years old and you have to take the imperial examination, where can you find the time to practice martial arts?
The man was very confident in his martial arts. These three people looked like weaklings. He could finish them all by himself.
The old man turned his head and glanced at the man, feeling very contemptuous of this simple-minded man with well-developed limbs.
If this person's martial arts skills weren't quite good and this incident was too dangerous, would the master have entrusted this person with the matter?
Fortunately, the master sent him to accompany him, otherwise this man would also be a troublemaker.
"Don't think too highly of yourself. These three people are good at martial arts, but that guy's internal strength is not as good as mine. If it weren't for the hidden nature of my practice, the other party would have known about it a long time ago. To deal with this person, we have to
Speaking of his spirit of 120,000 points, this person is not only highly skilled in martial arts, he is also very good in strategy."
The man curled his lips, not believing the old man's words at all. The old man could only tell alarmist stories. Ever since he and the old man met, the old man had been meddling with him.
If his master hadn't ordered him to obey the other party's orders, he would have been impatient to deal with this person.
"Don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige. How powerful can he be? Could it be that he started practicing in his mother's womb?"
"Let's go! I don't think they are all tired of waiting. Let's go meet them!"
Gu Chengyu slightly raised the corners of his lips, it would be better if he solved it earlier, otherwise he would have to be on guard all the time.
Haven't you heard that only a thousand days can make a thief, but a thousand days can't prevent a thief?
Gu Chengyu and the other three rode their horses forward slowly. If there was an ambush, they would have to work harder on the horses.
"We have to retreat. These three people have discovered us. Without the surprise effect, we can't fight them head-on. With your and my abilities, we are still close to facing them."
The old man was a little anxious. He pulled the man and wanted to evacuate the place. Anyway, he had an intuition that if the two sides fought, they would definitely not get a good deal.
But the man hesitated to leave. He said impatiently: "If you want to leave, you can go. I will take this opportunity to capture them in one fell swoop."
He remembered his master's instructions, and if he could deal with this person, his master would definitely get a very generous reward.
If he could be captured alive, there would be great benefits waiting for him! How could this keep him from being tempted?
Gu Chengyu and the others had already galloped towards this side on horseback, and their speed suddenly accelerated.
The man's eyes lit up, this was the perfect opportunity! He shook off the old man's hand and tightened the knot in his hand.
The old man knew that this man would not listen to his words, and Gu Chengyu was approaching quickly at the moment. Even if he wanted to leave, his whereabouts would be exposed.
Furthermore, there was still a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that maybe he could really give it a try. What if he succeeded?
Gu Chengyu paid close attention to the movements around him. He saw a place with very dense grass and felt that if there was an ambush, it must be here.
The man saw Gu Chengyu rushing forward without hesitation, and he was very excited. The old man also said that this man was very strategic! Didn't he also want to follow his path?
If he was asked to say that he and the other party were strangers to each other, how could the other party know that he wanted to kill him? Does it count if the other party could still pinch him?
He said it was the old man's scaremongering and let's see how he could take down these three people.
The man's expression was tense and his heart was beating like thunder. It's here! It's here!
He suddenly pulled the knot, and a long rope suddenly emerged from the originally flat ground.
