Chu Tiankuo made a silent gesture. Even in the Lingyin Pavilion, it was difficult for them to guarantee whether there would be ears through the walls, so they had to keep their voices down as much as possible.
"Why are you alone?"
I don't know why, but when Gu Qiang saw Chu Tiankuo again, she still felt very quiet and peaceful in her heart, as if everything before had never happened. When she saw Chu Tiankuo, she felt at ease.
"We are really worried about where you have been these days."
Gu Qiang didn't know how to express her current mood. She just felt very excited. After all, it was not easy to see her friend again. It was good to be able to confirm that he was safe and sound.
They have thought about many possible situations these days, and of course they all hope that he will be safe, but this is not as real as him appearing in front of everyone.
"A lot of things happened around you. I've heard about it more or less. There are so many things on my side. How can I have the nerve to cause so much trouble to everyone?" Chu Tiankuo looked at Gu Qiang and was a little overwhelmed. He smiled slightly, but his mood was no longer what it was before, but Gu Qiang didn't notice it.
Gu Qiang also knew that after not seeing Chu Tiankuo for such a long time, it must have taken him a long time to get over Chu Junyou's death. Since he knew about the funeral, it was obvious that he was one of the few There are not many regrettable things, whether he could have seen it in advance or not, Chu Junyou died in Shen Zhongbai's hands, and no one can forget it.
Gu Qiang faces the people around her leaving one by one, but she no longer has the ability to predict the future and has no way to confirm that every step she takes is right. This is really a big problem for her. Obstacle, she was unable to make any decisions for a long time.
Chu Junyou left suddenly, which was a big blow to each of them. Therefore, after Chu Tiankuo left, everyone still couldn't leave, but everyone's thoughts were different. It's the same. A foolish king like Shen Zhongbai should not have been sitting in that position long ago.
During this period, everyone was actually very worried about Chu Tiankuo and asked around for his whereabouts. However, they also knew early on that if Chu Tiankuo was really hiding, no one in the world would be able to find him, but still Well, he came back on his own, safe and sound, exactly the same as before.
"Is Aran here too? I think I saw him, just on the street." Chu Tiankuo tidied up his clothes and came out of the place where Su Ran was being held just now. He was still stained with some unpleasantness. Clean things, plus a room full of venomous snakes...
"Hiss—" Chu Tiankuo couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this. If it were in the past, he wouldn't have thought of such torture methods. Probably during this time, the pressure in his heart was too heavy. Even if When I think back to the scene just now, I feel terrified.
"What's wrong? Is it too cold? Let me go and bring the charcoal stove." The weather in the capital has actually begun to warm up slowly. Otherwise, Gu Qiang would have directly arranged for someone to bring the charcoal stove just now. He came up, but seeing that Chu Tiankuo seemed to have caught a cold, Gu Qiang quickly paid attention.
"It's weird, it smells weird..." Gu Qiang had just put down the charcoal stove, and she immediately smelled a very strange smell. She hadn't noticed it just now, but when the charcoal stove came in, she immediately smelled it. , "What is burning in this charcoal stove? It smells so strange?"
Chu Tiankuo's reaction was obviously faster than Gu Qiang's, and he soon understood that the charcoal stove burning in Lingyin Pavilion should contain a lot of medicinal materials carefully prepared by Gu Huaian, so when he entered the charcoal stove, , it worked with the realgar residue on his body, and this strange smell appeared.
"Maybe there's something wrong with the medicinal materials in the charcoal stove. It's okay. It's not too cold anyway. I was just distracted and thought of other things. It doesn't matter."
Chu Tiankuo put a lot of poisonous snakes in that room. Most of the poisonous snakes would definitely die immediately after biting Su Ran, but the poison would slowly accumulate in Su Ran's body. In his opinion, This plan should be foolproof, and there is absolutely no chance that Su Ran will come out.
Therefore, Chu Tiankuo was not prepared to tell them about this matter, lest they have to worry about it. As a person who had never appeared in public, Su Ran could just disappear quietly.
"Okay, let me close the window."
Gu Qiang really couldn't describe the smell inside the room, but as soon as the carbon stove was taken out, it was obvious that the smell inside the room disappeared, and there was no need to keep the windows open.
"What's this?"
Gu Suran also just came back from outside. She originally wanted to come back and take a rest, but she saw a young man coming out hurriedly carrying this charcoal stove with a look of disgust on his face. Naturally, he felt strange. I thought something had happened, so I stepped forward and asked.
"The medicinal materials in the charcoal stove may have been misplaced. The young master asked me to take them out just now."
Even though everyone felt that the young master Liu in front of them looked more like their eldest son, they still called Gu Qiang the young master. However, it was a bit uncomfortable to say such words in front of him. He was too adaptable. In fact, the people below him would more or less guess whether Mr. Liu had something to do with his eldest son, but no one dared to say it openly.
"How do you say this? Isn't this medicine pack prepared in advance? Why is there any problem? By the way, why is the young master in the guest room? Are there other guests?"
Although Gu Suran was not particularly familiar with Gu Qiang, she also knew that she was not someone who would embarrass her servants because of these things. She was afraid that there were guests in the house, so Gu Qiang would be so concerned.
"There is a young master, but he came in in a hurry, and I didn't even see him clearly."
Gu Suran also knew that someone important must have arrived, but she didn't know that it would be inconvenient for her to meet him, but he went directly upstairs and knocked on the private room where Gu Qiang was.
"It's me, can I come in?"
Gu Suran's voice was always unhurried, so Gu Qiang could easily recognize it. She exchanged glances with Chu Tiankuo and made sure that the other party didn't mind before opening the door.
"You came back quite early." Gu Qiang didn't know what to say. She could only think of what to say and let Gu Suran at the door into the house.
As soon as Gu Suran entered the door, she saw Chu Tiankuo. Even though he was wearing a mask, she recognized him immediately. "You're finally back. I thought you were going to hide from us forever."
Gu Suran and the two of them have a good friendship. Although Gu Suran has been bedridden, since the poisonous worms were taken out of his body, he quickly came into contact with people and things outside, and he didn't look like him. As everyone expected, there was nothing unacceptable, but he quickly took over Tianji Pavilion and even did better than Cheng Xiao before.
"You have to give me some time to deal with all the previous things. Otherwise, how could I show up here."
Chu Tiankuo treated Gu Suran as if he were his own younger brother. He had never regarded him as an outsider. Tianji Pavilion had set its own rules, and no one who was related to him was allowed to take over. Gu Suran was obviously The best candidate for him, in his eyes, is the only one who can help him solve all the problems in Tianji Pavilion.
Gu Suran also knew that during the previous period, Chu Tiankuo must have been struggling for a long time before he could face everyone in his current normal state, so they all had a tacit understanding and did not ask more questions. If the person in front of him Whatever he wanted to say, he would tell everyone sooner or later.
"But I tell the truth, I came back this time to help everyone, and of course, also for Chu Junyou." Until now, Chu Tiankuo had not thought about how to speak clearly, and did not want everyone to worry about his He didn't want to tell them everything he had done today. After all, it was probably the first time in his life that he had dealt with Su Ran so cruelly.
"We also understand this, and we will definitely do our best to complete this matter." Gu Qiang knew that Chu Tiankuo still couldn't say some words to this day, and also knew how traumatized his heart was by what happened before. , so I didn’t continue to mention it.
"By the way, you didn't recover well last time, so you left like this. When your brother comes back, you must let him take a good look at you."
Gu Qiang saw the person in front of him and thought about how he seemed to have caught a cold just now. He still felt that his physical condition was not as good as before. It seemed that he still had to let his brother take good care of his body.
When Chu Tiankuo heard this, his expression immediately changed. If he really asked Gu Huaian to check his physical condition, wouldn't he find out...
"Forget it, in fact, there are no big problems anymore. There is no need to make such a fuss. I have adjusted myself during the time I left. There is no need for you to worry so much. Look at me Now, isn’t there no problem at all?”
Gu Qiang didn't think much about it, but Gu Suran, who was sitting aside, clearly noticed that when Chu Tiankuo came back this time, his whole person had changed a lot. He was completely different from the previous situation. I don’t dare to be serious, so I haven’t spoken out yet.
