"Then during this period of time, Gusu Liang disappeared. Where did he go?"
Shen Zhongbai didn't like the two brothers from the Gusu family. One thing was that they always made him feel the mystery of the two of them, which made him feel uneasy.
In the past, except for Bai Zhi, no one had ever made him feel difficult to control, but these two people were the kind of people who might not be able to control even poison and poison.
Bai Zhi is the kind of ambitious person. If it weren't for the accident at that time and they continued to cooperate, maybe she would have really helped him until he took the throne of Xiliang Kingdom and made Xiliang Kingdom a subsidiary of Bei'an. country.
But these two brothers are always unpredictable. I don't know what the two brothers want, so I have no way to truly control them. Shen Zhongbai, who has always been very controlling, will always be in control of the two of them. , the more elusive the crisis is, the more vigilant it is to be vigilant.
Shen Zhongbai still remembered that Gu Suliang had just left the capital, that is, when Si Yin and Gu Su Ran went to the street together and met Jing Zhaoyin.
When Shen Simian came back one day, he once mentioned this to himself intentionally or unintentionally, saying that Gusu Liang had gone out to buy goods these days. At that time, he believed it very much. After all, the Gusu family was a businessman and often traveled around. It is also normal in all parts of the country.
But now that I think about it, Gusu Liang's departure this time did indeed escape the haste. At this time, it is not the change of seasons, nor is there any big business opportunities, so that he can let go of Kyoto directly. Business.
Now, it is said that there is a problem with the business in the Jiangnan area, and they will not be able to escape in a short time. However, the people under him also say that the Gusu family's business has always been stable and there has never been any major problems. So, how can this happen? Isn’t it contradictory
Shen Zhongbai didn't know whether he should trust the two brothers, but now that he thought about some of the things that had happened before, he had to start doubting them.
"Go down with the order and send someone to follow Xiaoyao Tower. If there is anything unusual, come and report to me first."
No matter what, Gusu Liang will not give up his store. No matter what his purpose is or what he is plotting, he must be prepared for him in advance to avoid any problems in the future and he will not be able to react in time. .
Gu Linjiang attacked Gusu Ran in front of him this time, and the incident of setting fire to Lingyin Pavilion last time was enough to prove that Gu Linjiang now wanted to prevent the Gusu family from participating in the court. But first The first time was just a warning, but the second time, he really wanted to take action against Gu Suran.
Gu Linjiang should know something about the Gusu family. Otherwise, he might not dare to be so bold, openly provoking himself and causing trouble under his nose.
"How is that sick young man doing now?" Gu Linjiang has been saying that he is ill recently and has not been able to go to court in the morning. Compared to Shen Zhongbai, he is now more interested in the two brothers from the Gusu family. After all, between the two of them, one has a mysterious identity and the other is extremely wealthy. If he can really dig out any clues that are beneficial to him, even Shen Zhongbai may not be able to keep them.
Since they can't be used by themselves, then just simply get rid of them.
"Everything is going well, but this young man still doesn't seem ready to say anything, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays. We can't find any clues from his words and deeds."
"Then continue to stare at him, take a good look at him, don't neglect him, and don't let him commit suicide."
"I understand, but sir, since we have caught the real Gu Suran, why don't we just tell the emperor their possible identities? Since ancient times, deceiving the emperor has been a serious crime, why should we..."
Shen Zhongbai never allowed anyone to deceive him, let alone deceiving him on such an important matter. Instead of doing this, it would be better to throw this issue directly to Shen Zhongbai. If this matter was told in front of all the ministers, Gu Suran will definitely die.
"What do you know? Do you think Shen Zhongbai wants a real Gusu Ran?" Gu Linjiang actually knew very well in his heart that what Shen Zhongbai wanted was just someone who could help him get rid of himself. As for this person's true identity What it is is not important at all to Shen Zhongbai.
It's a pity that after all Shen Zhongbai's tricks, he still overlooked one point. Gusu Liang and this fake Gusu Ran seem to be much smarter than Shen Zhongbai. Who knows what their real purpose is
Although Gu Qiang said that the injuries on his body have not completely healed, after these few days of recuperation, his whole spirit has become much better. Compared with when he was in the miasma-filled woods, now at least he does not have to worry about his personal safety. And what worries me is that I can’t feel the taste at all when I eat, and it still feels a little strange.
"Then what are you going to do now? The prince has already handed over the blood jade to you. It's better to think of a way to rescue your brother now." After all, Gu Linjiang is completely unknown to them. What if? One day, he suddenly changed his attitude and severely tortured Gu Su Ran. If you want him to tell something about Gu Su Liang, it will not end well.
Gu Qiang kept playing with the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, but never put it in his mouth.
It's not that Gu Qiang has no sense of taste at all now, it's just that this sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which was originally very sweet, suddenly changed to such a taste, which is really hard to accept. When it's in her mouth, she always feels like she doesn't know. He was chewing something, so he immediately lost interest.
"Did you tell me that the place where you saw A Ran that day was actually the place where you were trapped?"
Gusu Liangzai carefully thought about what Gu Qiang said after he came back that day. If Gu Qiang remembered correctly, the place where A Ran was imprisoned must be the woods. But if Gu Linjiang is really If he locked his brother and Gu Qiang in the same place, it might not be that easy for him to rescue his brother.
Gu Qiang tilted her head and thought for a moment, for fear of missing any details. When she followed the two people out that day, she was indeed a little unconscious due to the influence of the miasma, but she clearly remembered that when she came out He had indeed passed through the miasmatic woods. If it hadn't been for the two people in front of him and the wound on his shoulder that kept him awake, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out on his own.
And when walking through the woods, my consciousness began to blur again. It was exactly the same as when I was in the woods before. In addition, I jumped into the pool when I was on the stone wall. It didn't look like him in any way. It was connected to the big river and the sea somewhere. It was definitely the same water system as the place where Gu Suran was imprisoned, so he could just float to Gu Suran's residence.
"I can confirm that it is definitely that place, but I am still not sure how to get in. There are only two ways now. First, we walk the same way as when I entered, but after jumping into the pool again , I don’t have any memory, and I can’t tell whether I can find Gu Suran.”
"Then is there any other way?"
"Yes, there is. I remember when your brother and I were talking, he once said that Gu Linjiang would send people to bring him food and drinks at a certain time every day. When I came out at that time, I followed two of them. Yes, since I can follow them out, we can definitely follow them in."
Gu Qiangzai thought about it carefully. In comparison, this method must be more labor-saving. If he followed his original path again, not to mention whether he could find the right path, in this forest, They don't necessarily know how long they can last.
Gusu Liang had not thought of this method. All he could think about was that Gu Huaian had mentioned to him before, intentionally or unintentionally, that if there was a heavy rain, most of the miasma in the woods would dissipate. Driving away, he was still thinking, should he take such a desperate trip? Gu Qiang did give him a good idea. In comparison, he was indeed a bit neglectful.
"Then do you still remember what those two people look like? Or have you seen them two before when you were at the Gu family?" Gu Linjiang has so many subordinates, but in a place like this, he must be known by fewer people. The better. If it is really his confidant, Gu Qiang may have met him before, which would make it easier for them to find him.
Gu Qiang shook his head helplessly, "I really can't help you this time. When I was rescued from the water, my eyes were already a little blurry. Coupled with the miasma, the visibility in the woods was very low. , I couldn’t see clearly what the people in front of me looked like, not to mention that we were still a long way apart. It was really hard for me to see clearly what they looked like, but I thought, this time, when I came out, Guard that place. Most of the roads in the woods are difficult to identify. If they identify a road that can lead in and out, it usually won't change. This time we can wait at the intersection where I came out. , maybe you can see the two of them."
Gu Suliang nodded, "Then I'll listen to you."
"When are we going?" After Gu Qiang was injured in the past few days, she almost never went out of this door. Although they always took turns to accompany her, she was still a living person after all.
