The person who came over was none other than the headmaster Wu Yan.
It seems that the handover between the settlement militia and the Yuqi camp has come to an end. This encounter was considered a near miss, but Wu Yan didn't show much satisfaction on his face. And judging from the fact that he abandoned Gu Qing and called her by his first name.
, it seems that the mood of the female boss can hardly be called good.
Gu Chen sounded the alarm in his heart and stood up subconsciously.
"When you said you were testing the Yun weapon, it was actually not the Deer King dagger, but the Yun staff, right?"
Wu Yan stared at the clay staff on Gu Chen's waist and asked directly.
"That's right. After asking Chao Weng for advice last time, I made this staff yesterday. This staff is made of the spiritual marrow of Lord Ni Ze. It cannot be tested in the city and can only be taken to the outskirts of the city.
Come and use it." At this point, Gu Chen simply made it clear to Wu Yan. "Actually, summoning the Deer King has some testing significance, but to be honest, I never thought that it would just run away and smoke and burn itself.
Ha ha."
"You guy..." Wu Yan looked at the master in front of him and was speechless for a moment.
The young man in front of him looks like a frail scholar who is harmless to humans and beasts based on his appearance. However, on the inside, he is completely unruly, acts arbitrarily, and is a wild man who cannot be described as bold. For Wu Yan, who is quite discerning about people,
This was the first time in her life that she had encountered a person who made her look so wrong.
Looking at the master scratching his head and laughing in front of him, without any sense of nervousness, the female headmaster felt an unprecedented wave of evil coming from her heart. But if she asked why she was angry, the feeling was difficult to describe. What is certain is that,
If Gu Chen were a retainer of the Wu family or a servant of the government, then as a price for offending the female governor, there would definitely be a mountain of difficult tasks waiting for him, and it would be a journey to hell that would wake him up in his dreams when he thinks about it.
It's a pity that this person has no direct relationship with the leadership or the Wu family, and he has the status of a master. It's not appropriate to beat him up casually. As a result, Wu Yan had to hold back his temper and try to put out the evil fire.
Press it back.
At the same time, Gu Chen, who was stared at inexplicably by the female boss, also showed a somewhat guilty look.
"Uh, what's the problem?"
"...Have you heard anything about Wu Shang from Wu Zhen?"
Wu Yan's unexpected question made Gu Chen open his mouth as if he had been punched in the stomach.
Gu Chen looked at the female boss in front of him in astonishment, wondering whether she knew the profound meaning of his question.
Wu Shang is the third son of Duke Li Yang, Wu Zhen is the second daughter of Duke Li Yang, and the questioner at this moment is the eldest daughter of Duke Li Yang. A question implicated all three Wu siblings, and Gu Chen suddenly woke up at this moment
I feel that my relationship with Liyang Wu is much closer than I thought.
Gu Chen paused for several breaths to digest this sudden realization, and then shook his head.
"No, I have never heard Wu Sishu mention the Third Young Master... Does that have anything to do with me?"
"Your bold and reckless character is very similar to that of your third brother." The female headmaster squinted her eyes at the master in front of her, her voice seemed to be covered with a veil. "But my third brother is not as smart as you, and he prefers dancing to reading.
Swords and guns. The third brother basically only listened to Wu Zhen's words. Several teachers in the government could not do anything to him, so the father had no choice but to hand the third brother over to Wu Zhen for discipline."
"Wu Zhen spent a lot of effort on his third brother's education, so she was the one who suffered the most when his third brother was killed. You and your third brother are both lawless and willful, chasing what you want regardless of your own safety. I
Do you think it’s because of this that Wu Zhen can’t let go of you? But since she hasn’t told you, then I’m talking too much.”
"is that so……"
Gu Chen was quite surprised to be evaluated as "lawless", but this was the first time he heard about the deeds of the third young master of the Wu family, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. In retrospect, when the leader of Ni Ze or when Chuan Xu left the palace, the female secretary was very fond of him.
He had a vague tendency to be overprotective. Gu Chen originally thought that Wu Zhen had such a character, but from what Wu Yan said, the attitude of the female secretary should be related to Wu Shang's death.
Could it be that I was regarded as the "useless younger brother" type? This thought made Gu Chen feel quite depressed.
"The third brother was killed in a famine, and his father led an army to crusade for revenge. A few days later, news of the defeat came back. At that time, everyone in the Wu family was in panic. It felt like the sky was about to fall..." Wu Yan's eyes drifted to the stream.
At that time, his voice seemed to be traveling backwards in time. "At that time, Wu Zhen came out to scold the panicked retainers, pulled me out of the tent at the Yuqi camp, and handed me the seal of the commander in public... Oh, and then what happened next
.”
Wu Yan subconsciously touched the blindfold on his left eye. The so-called "what happened later" was that Wu Yan led the Yuqi battalion to rush to the aid of Li Yanggong, quelled the bandits in the territory, and took charge of Li Yang territory on behalf of his father. These achievements are often attributed to Li Yang.
Gu Chen had heard of the material used by the people to praise their own leaders, but he never expected that it was the female secretary who pushed Wu Yan to the front.
Feeling fresh, Gu Chen couldn't help but prick up his ears. Unexpectedly, Wu Yan brought the topic that had just begun to its conclusion.
"I can only wield a sword and a gun. I can't compare to Wu Zhen in terms of perseverance and virtuousness. She is the good daughter that the Wu family is proud of... If it hadn't been delayed by the miscellaneous consulship these years,
Wu Zhen should have married and had children long ago and lived a stable life."
"Really..." Gu Chen frowned, thinking about the situation of the female secretary marrying a strange man, and suddenly felt inexplicably panicked. "Well, why are you telling me this?"
"Of course I want you to take care of yourself, idiot." Wu Yan cast a sharp gaze on his right eye and shouted. "Don't do such life-threatening things in the future. Wu Zhen is buried in the case and crying, I can't help it.
I don’t want to see it again.”
After being scolded, Gu Chen fell silent. He looked at the Li Yang heroine in front of him and then at the settlement vigilante group not far away. The expression on his face was changing. After a long while, he seemed to finally make up his mind and turned to Wu Yan, cupping his hands.
"My lord, please forgive me for asking for help."
"What's the matter?" Wu Yan glared over unhappily.
"I'm really grateful for your invitation twice before. I wonder if the position in the Department of Juvenile Supervision is still vacant?"
"Huh?" Wu Yan looked over in shock. "What did you say?"
"Young Supervisor, I am willing to take office." Gu Chen nodded and emphasized.
"...What kind of wind is this blowing?" Wu Yan did not agree immediately, but raised his eyebrows and glared at Master. "Didn't Qing Gu say that he was a wandering cloud and a wild crane? Why did he suddenly change his mind?"
"Well, the current situation of Li Yangling doesn't seem to be very good, and it doesn't seem right to just spend a leisurely life on my own. If I work as a juvenile supervisor, I want to improve the situation somewhat..." Gu Chen scratched his cheek,
He looked up at the eldest daughter of the Ou family in front of him, and after a moment, he exhaled as if accepting his fate.
"Although I didn't expect to be yelled at here, if I had to choose a boss, compared to the 'come on me' type, it feels better to go with me."
