When he saw the jade pendant, his pupils shrank.
The pattern above is a totem recognized by only a few people in the Dongqi royal family. It represents the ability to summon the mysterious Han Army of the Dongqi Kingdom. He remembered that this jade pendant was given to the War King by Dongqi's most famous grandmother.
Gu Beiheng felt the Third Prince's hand trembling on his shoulder, and then followed his gaze to his jade pendant.
Su Qi strung the jade pendant into a string and hung it around her waist.
The Third Prince quickly adjusted his mood, and no one except Gu Beiheng knew that he was nervous.
The rest of the things will be easy.
Since both parties had no objections, the black market boss was happy to act as a peacemaker.
Other peacemakers struggled with words, but he came easily. He barely needed to talk, but he was very curious about the iron lump in Gu Beiheng's hand.
After three rounds of drinks, people naturally started talking more.
The chieftain stroked the green stubble on his chin and sniffed deeply. He raised his chin and said, "Brother Gu, what's with that iron lump of yours? Why is it so lethal?"
"I smell something burning."
Gu Beiheng unhooked the gun hanging from his waist and placed it on the table. "This is a pistol. It's easy to carry and has a long range. The downside is that it's too loud and could easily alert others."
Someone couldn't help swallowing and said:
"There are no shortcomings, everything is an advantage." In fact, they also want it, but it is something that can save someone's life, so it is naturally difficult to ask for it.
After coming out of the restaurant, the third prince called out to Gu Beiheng.
She looked at him with a complicated expression, "Brother Gu. I hope we can keep in touch."
Gu Beiheng twitched his lips slightly, "Okay. But when it comes to the interests of our country and family, we are still on opposite sides."
The Third Prince remained silent. The Dashun Kingdom was now in pieces. It was hard to predict what would happen in the future. He knew the ambitions of the Dongqi Kingdom and would not allow the Dashun Kingdom to peacefully choose a new emperor.
After Gu Beiheng and the other two left.
Yue Jiushao was a little confused. He looked at Gu Beiheng again. He was a little puzzled. "Is the Third Prince really so kind to you just because you look like him? There are so many similar people in the royal family, how could they not be so kind?"
"Don't worry about others. We have also broadened our horizons. Let's go back early tomorrow morning." Gu Beiheng felt a sense of urgency. He had to go back.
Yue Jiushao, Gu Beiheng, and Su Qi all obtained passes from the black market boss.
You can come here anytime in the future.
Early the next morning.
After Gu Beiheng and Su Qi got up, they asked Zhi Yi and others to clean up.
Yue Jiushao walked in from outside, his expression not very natural. "Let's go. Let's go back."
Seeing that he looked like he was about to die, Su Qi couldn't help but ask him, "Did your eldest and second brothers put pressure on you?"
"The Third Prince and the adopted son of Prince Zhan have different opinions. I suspect Prince Zhan will not let you go." Yue Jiushao rubbed his chin with his hand and asked doubtfully, "This is also the first time you've met him. Is it true that there are people who don't get along with each other the moment they meet?"
"Yes. We were like that too." Gu Beiheng said.
Yue Jiushao recalled the time when he first met Gu Beiheng. His nose was not a nose and his face was not a face.
I couldn't help but laugh like a dog barking. "We are different."
The three of them took Zhi Yi and the others on a boat and left. People from the Jingwang Mansion and Huiwang Mansion on the other side were waiting. Ying Shi and Ying Shiyi were also waiting on the shore with their two little ones, Da Bao and Er Bao.
Dabao and Erbao jumped off the carriage.
Rushing to the riverside, he waved his chubby little hands, “Bad daddy, bad mommy.”
Su Qi got off the boat and rushed over to hug Dabao and Erbao. "My dear babies. I'm sorry. I left you at home again."
Dabao leaned against Su Qi's face and kissed her cheek. "Mom, you are people who can do great things. I am not angry."
Su Qi rubbed Erbao's pouting face, "Erbao, are you angry?"
Erbao nodded heavily. "Yeah, I'm angry. Mom won't take me with her."
"Wait until you grow up a little. Not all places are suitable for you to go now." Su Qi smiled and pinched Erbao's little chubby face.
Erbao looks like an angry frog.
Seeing that he was still pouting, Su Qi took the initiative to kiss his cheek.
Erbao failed instantly.
He twisted his body like a piece of gummy candy and snuggled into Su Qi's arms. "Mom, I miss you."
Gu Beiheng came over and picked up the two little ones, one in each hand. He poked their little faces with his stubble, "Who called me a bad dad just now?"
Dabao and Erbao giggled non-stop.
"Daddy heard wrong. I meant good daddy."
Erbao laughed so hard that his saliva started to flow, "I was talking about missing Daddy."
Su Qi followed the father and son, and the whole family came to the carriage.
Helian and Li Hao clasped their fists towards Gu Beiheng and Su Qi. "Master Gu, Madam Gu, please come with us to the palace."
Su Qi nodded, "Okay. Our carriage will follow you."
"Thank you very much."
Young Master Yue Jiu boarded the Yue Mansion's carriage and poked his head out. "Master Gu, the Yipin Restaurant opened yesterday. Master Helian and Master Li Hao went to cut the ribbon."
Then he clasped his fists towards Helian and Li Hao and said, "Thank you very much."
Helian smiled lightly, "Nine Young Master, you're welcome."
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng sat in Ying Shi's carriage and asked Ying Shiyi to lead Zhi Yi and others back to Meilin Villa first.
They first went to Prince Jing's Mansion with Helian. On the way, Ying Shi told Gu Beiheng that more than a hundred people went to Meilin Villa.
It was said that Gu Beiheng asked them to go over.
Gu Beiheng didn't expect so many people to come. He thought for a moment and said:
"These people are talented. If you want to follow me, you can look back and see how they arrange it."
"yes."
"We'll be returning to Yun County in a couple of days. Has Military Advisor Mo sent anyone over?"
Ying Shi replied while driving:
"Tian Yougu brought a group of people to Meilin Villa."
After leaving Prince Jing's Mansion and Prince Hui's Mansion, they went straight back to Meilin Villa.
Xie Yi and Yue Qinggang had heard people in the black market talk about Gu Beiheng and Su Qi several times, and their scalps were tingling.
These two people are too brave. If they are not careful, their lives will be in danger.
How dare you go against the adopted son of the King of War of Dongqi Kingdom?
Yue Qinggang was very happy again. This was the Gu Beiheng and Su Qi he knew.
Not afraid of anything, dare to defy heaven and earth.
Arrived at Meilin Villa.
Xianghe had already prepared hot water, and every time Su Qi came back from going out, she would always prepare hot water first.
Let Su Qi take a bath to relax her body.
The kitchen was also bustling with activity as people started cooking.
Hu Zhou was so busy that she lifted the lid of the pot on the stove to see how the soup was simmering. "Aunt, how's the ham and pork elbow? The madam and the others will have to eat soon."
Hu Yang was stirring the spoon to stir the food, and replied without turning her head:
"I checked it out earlier, and it's perfectly cooked and tender. Don't worry about my cooking; it's all based on years of experience."
Hu Zhou's eyes wrinkled with laughter. "We have good food, drink and accommodation here. We haven't even cooked two meals for the host family yet."
"That's right, isn't it? I heard that Madam and Master have returned and are going back to Yun County."
"We are going to stay in Merlin Villa, right?"
"Sister-in-law, how is the cooking going? Sister Xianghe asked me to come over and take a look. The food in the side hall is ready." Qiuhe walked in.
Mrs. Hu Zhou smiled and said, "Miss Qiuhe, the dishes are now served."
"Then I'll bring the cold dishes over first." Qiu He picked up the tray from the kitchen and placed several exquisite cold dishes on it.
"By the way, the ten people have finished all the food you prepared. I think it's not enough for them. You can make some noodles for them later." Qiu He thought of the ten people who had just wolfed down the food.
Normally, the meal that fifteen or sixteen men would eat was completely eaten up by them.
Zhiwu actually licked the dish.
Hu Yang was startled and wiped her hands on her apron. "Isn't there enough food for fifteen or sixteen working men? I'll make some hand-rolled noodles now. I can't let them go hungry."
