Gu Yunyang nodded and followed Tie Ta inside.
He had been watching Hou San and the Iron Tower through the owl.
Hou San is a man of great ambition. Even when faced with such a situation, he remained excited but did not forget his own safety.
Those who aspire to great things naturally cherish their lives.
To die before achieving one's goal is truly a case of sighing in vain.
Gu Yunyang would recommend Hou San's approach.
If you are careless and impulsive in doing things, you are more likely to make mistakes.
After entering, Hou San invited Gu Yunyang to sit down.
Gu Yunyang looked at the table full of dishes, smiled, and said, "I hope this isn't a trap."
Hou San smiled and said, "How could that be? Please have a seat. I invited you here today, Lao Yang, because I have a favor to ask."
Gu Yunyang remained noncommittal, unconcerned about being poisoned.
He picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of roast duck, and started eating.
His wood-based ability could detect the absence of toxins, but Hou San admired and felt gratified by his actions.
He certainly didn't poison him, but Gu Yunyang didn't question him at all, and without any hesitation, picked it up and ate it, which also showed his trust in him.
How can we make him feel neither gratified nor moved?
In this capital city, there aren't many people who dare to directly accept the food he gives them.
Everyone is afraid of something going wrong.
Hou San didn't speak directly, but seeing that Gu Yunyang was enjoying his meal, he joined him for a meal as well.
He took out a bottle of baijiu and poured a glass for Gu Yunyang: "This is a century-old Fenjiu. It took me a lot of effort to get this jar. I'm happy today, so please drink to your heart's content, Lao Yang."
Gu Yunyang was also willing to have a few drinks, but he wasn't addicted to alcohol; he would drink if he wanted to, and he didn't need to if he didn't.
Hou San said this was a century-old Fenjiu liquor. Gu Yunyang actually had some in his collection as well, but they weren't old enough.
He also brewed various kinds of liquor himself and stored them in his cellar.
He also brewed liquors similar to Fenjiu.
There's also Shaoxing wine and other similar drinks, but he doesn't drink much of it himself; he usually uses it for cooking.
For example, with Dongpo pork, you need to cook a large batch at once, using a whole jar of Shaoxing wine to make delicious Dongpo pork.
"Yes, it tastes really good."
Although Gu Yunyang is not addicted to alcohol, he still drinks and knows how to appreciate wine.
Hou San could tell from the way he drank that he was a person who liked wine but was not addicted to it.
And he is also very well-mannered.
The two of them found something to talk about, chatting and eating, until it was past eleven o'clock.
The large table of food was left somewhat messy after being eaten.
Hou San was somewhat surprised, but Gu Yunyang smiled modestly and said, "Lian Po is old, can he still eat?"
Hou San laughed and said, "Old Yang, you're still as vigorous as ever. But I've invited you here today because I have a request to make."
We've eaten, talked a lot, and drunk some wine.
It's time to get down to business.
Gu Yunyang nodded seriously: "Okay, go ahead. But please don't ask for anything that I can't do, so as not to hurt our relationship."
Hou San was taken aback, then tentatively asked, "Old Yang, do you know that two black markets have recently sprung up in the capital?"
Gu Yunyang naturally nodded directly: "I know."
This surprised Hou San: "Then?"
He believed that Gu Yunyang was definitely involved in this matter and that Gu Yunyang was keeping it hidden and would not expose it.
