Gu Suran looked at his friends. Liu Rongchen could be considered an ordinary merchant, but no one knew that Liu Rongchen's family was in Jiangzhou, and he was almost as famous a merchant as Gusu Liang.
"You people just like to cause trouble for yourselves. It's obviously none of your business, but you still want to get involved." Liu Rongchen really didn't understand, but he didn't do what he did to Gu Suran and his brothers. What criticism comes from the matter.
"I haven't talked about you yet, why did you come here suddenly?"
"You're still asking me? You borrowed my name to show off in the capital, why didn't you just tell me in advance?"
When Liu Rongchen thought of this incident, he still felt bad in his heart. One of his subordinates ran to him and said that when Liu Rongchen was wandering around the capital, he thought he was someone who was swindling under his own name. But it turned out to be a good thing. Still an old acquaintance of mine.
"It's not like you to be so stingy." Gu Suran did not tell Liu Rongchen about this matter in advance, but the Liu family has never set foot in the capital. If he borrows it temporarily, there shouldn't be any big problems. Unexpectedly, , but Liu Rongchen found out about it, and even came to visit him specially.
After hearing this, Liu Rongchen also sighed. If it was normal, forget it, why did he choose this time? "If this matter wasn't important, I wouldn't have come here to find you. Don't you know that something happened to the Liu family recently?"
The reason Liu Rongchen rushed over in a hurry was because he was afraid that Gu Suran would be accidentally injured because of his identity, so even if the two of them met, Liu Rongchen still chose a very secluded place.
The pavilion is surrounded by water, and only relying on boats and wooden piles to enter and exit, ordinary people cannot enter, so he can safely talk to Gu Suran about these things.
"Did something really happen?" Gu Suran actually didn't receive any news at all. It was because he knew about it but didn't take it as a big deal, so he used Liu Rongchen's name to go out. After all, Ling Yin is now There is also a Gu Suran in the pavilion. If another person appears, there is really no way to explain his identity.
Liu Rongchen also nodded, "I thought you knew, but I didn't expect to find out after I arrived that even if you knew, you still used my identity."
Although the recent events in the Liu family have not caused any deaths, they have obviously begun to affect him. In addition, as the Liu family's wealth is getting stronger and stronger, some people will covet it, and he has to start taking precautions.
"During this period, the Liu family's shops in Jiangnan have been having troubles one after another, all because they got the news that I am not in Jiangnan at all now, but in the capital. Thanks to your blessing, I have lost several pieces of my shop." When Liu Rongchen said this, it was obvious that he was gritting his teeth. He regarded wealth as his life, and it was all a business for him to make money. If Gu Suran made such a fuss, his losses would be considerable.
"I have no other choice. I may need to stay in this place for a while. If I don't have an identity with a background, I'm afraid I won't be able to sustain it for long." Although Gu Suran said that he is now in charge of the entire Tianji Pavilion, it does not mean that he will be able to do so soon. Quickly find an identity that suits you.
But I really didn't expect that it would bring such a big problem to Liu Rongchen, "It's just a few shops. At worst, I'll just compensate you. You can take this opportunity to blackmail me, and your customers will definitely make money." No compensation.”
"Do you think I really care about that little bit of silver? I'm not afraid of anything else. I'm just afraid that during this period, if someone is eyeing me, they will inevitably attack you. After all, you are showing me and I am hiding. For a while, it’s better not to be too ostentatious with this identity. It’s best to send more people around you. Don’t let anything happen to me. It will be a big sin for me.”
Liu Rongchen is not a heartless person. At least he still cares about his friends. However, in this situation, Gu Suran should not be so public even if he borrows his identity.
The sound of arrows piercing the air was obviously a bit sudden. Neither Gu Suran nor Liu Rongchen expected that even though they had found such a hidden place, they were still found. It was a bit strange that they were found today. The two of them will meet, but no one will know except the close confidants around them.
"The people around you are so unreliable. The two of us just said a few words..."
How could Liu Rongchen still have the heart to listen to the nonsense of the people around him, so he pushed him away, "There is so much nonsense, are you dying?"
Gusu Ran's martial arts is not very good, and his body has always been weak. Gusu Liang has never forced him to practice martial arts, but he is still surrounded by people, but today they met in private, Gusu Liang However, they didn't come in with the guards at all. This was a good thing. Both of them were powerless. Whether they could escape or not really depended on fate.
The arrow rain stopped soon, and Gu Suran also felt a little strange. There was almost no cover in this pavilion. If it were him, he would definitely change the angle and continue shooting arrows here, even if he was not accurate. He might be able to bump into someone casually, not to mention someone has been sent to assassinate him. How could he find some ordinary people
"He's gone? Why don't you take advantage of such a good opportunity?"
Before Gu Suran finished speaking, an arrow hit his shoulder and pierced his shoulder blade. He had never experienced such pain. He couldn't hold it back. Fortunately, Liu Rongchen reacted quickly and covered it up quickly. His mouth pushed his whole body to the ground.
"Don't make a sound, don't make a sound."
"Master!"
Liu Rongchen deliberately shouted very loudly. Of course, this was only done after confirming that Gu Suran's life was not in danger. After all, he is Liu Rongchen now, and maybe these people came here because of his identity. .
Liu Rongchen covered Gu Suran's mouth tightly, almost making him breathless. After a while, he heard the sound of swords clashing outside. After a while, it stopped, and Liu Rongchen let Gusu go away with confidence. However, Gu Suran was already in so much pain that she could not speak.
"Liu Rongchen, remember this, I will never let you go."
The people who came after hearing the sound were not the people around Liu Rongchen, but the guards that Zhuiyun and another Gusu Liang had arranged in advance. Seeing that his second young master was injured like this, Zhuiyun didn't say anything, so he took his The long sword was placed on Liu Rongchen's neck, "Master Liu, can you explain what the situation is like now?"
"What's going on? You haven't been out for a while, why did you come back in disgrace?" Gu Qiang saw Chu Tiankuo and Gu Huaian coming back in disgrace, so she asked the waiter to quickly get a clean cotton cloth and help them clean up a little. , but Chu Tiankuo quickly avoided Gu Qiang, not wanting her to touch him.
Gu Qiang felt a little baffled and looked at the person in front of her blankly.
Gu Huaian also quickly explained, "This powder is poisonous, so I'll deal with it later."
Gu Qiang suddenly realized it and looked at the people sitting around him, "By the way, where's A Ran? Why haven't you seen him all day?"
When Gu Suliang heard Gu Qiang asking his brother, he quickly came out to explain, "A friend asked him out and said he wanted to discuss something. If you have anything, just tell us directly. When he comes back, , I will tell him.”
Since this is the case, there is no need for Gu Qiang to worry too much, and his face darkens a little, "I have called everyone here today. Actually, there is one thing I want to discuss with you."
It's easy to say it's simple, it's quite complicated to say it's complicated, but in the final analysis, A Li was poisoned in Yuhua Building. Gu Qiang felt that a traitor must have sneaked in.
When A Li felt that he had been poisoned, it was already too late. After the tea entered his mouth, it started to feel hot. A Li noticed something was wrong and spit out all the tea, but the medicinal properties were too strong. , it still burned A Li’s throat.
Gu Qiang had not been to Yuhua Building for so many days, and she did not expect that such a big thing would happen after she was only absent for a few days.
"I just came today and wanted to discuss it with everyone. I have never encountered such a situation before. The prince has always been in charge of Yuhua Building. Now that such a situation suddenly occurs, it means that someone must have sneaked in. It shouldn't be The person who sneaked in wants to have a good discussion with everyone on how to resolve this matter."
Shen Qianshan didn't think this was anything special. It was inevitable that people would come in and out of Yuhua Building. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened. "If this is the case, then Princess Lao, how can I help you?" Work hard and find all the traitors in Yuhua Tower."
Of course Shen Qianshan also knew that some things were very serious, especially Yuhua Tower, which was originally arranged by himself to collect intelligence. Although it was not as accurate as Tianji Pavilion, it could indeed get information from those officials' children as quickly as possible. From what he said, he knew the movements of the imperial court. This matter was indeed not a trivial matter. It was no wonder that Gu Qiang called everyone back with such great fanfare.
"Isn't it a little difficult for you to do this alone? How about this? Zhou Ning doesn't seem to have anything else important to do recently, so why not let her help you."
Gu Suran is not here now. In Zhou Ning's eyes, Chu Tiankuo is still the master of Tianji Pavilion. Of course, Zhou Ning did not dare not listen to what Chu Tiankuo said, so he nodded directly and agreed. .
