Young Master Gu looked at both sides of the street. Because there were three fires in the capital last night, everyone in Fengjing was in a panic. The gates of the four cities were not opened at this time, so there were few pedestrians on the streets in the early morning. With fewer people, the streets seemed empty and lifeless.
After Gu Xingnuo learned that his second brother was outside the mansion, he hurried out of the side door with two guards, and then saw Gu Xingyan standing against the wall in a daze. The eldest young master Gu asked the two guards to leave, and walked up to the second young master Gu, whispering, "Why are you out of the mansion?"
Gu Xingyan, who was in a daze, glanced at his elder brother, pointed at the pool of blood on the ground, and said, "It was left by the arsonist."
When Gu Xingnuo saw the pool of blood, his first reaction was that the person who came could not be Mo Wen. Young Master Gu did not believe that Mo Wen would be injured.
"That thief was injured but he ran faster than a rabbit," Gu Xingyan said, "I ran until my legs broke but still couldn't catch up with him."
Gu Xingnuo squatted down to take a closer look at the pool of blood, and said to Gu Xingyan: "We are generals on horseback, it's not shameful if our Qinggong is a little bit poor."
Gu Xingyan said, "Who did Xinglang and his sister-in-law offend? They captured Zhao Qiuming's daughter. Is it Zhao Qiuming who is causing trouble?"
"He doesn't have that ability," said Gu Xingnuo.
Gu Xingyan didn't say anything else. Using his brain has never been his strong point.
"Poisoned," Gu Xingnuo said after staring at the blood on the ground for a while.
When he looked down at the pool of blood again, Young Master Gu was shocked. The originally flat ground now had many small holes. "What kind of poison is this? So strong?" Young Master Gu asked in surprise.
Gu Xingnuo stood up slowly. If it could melt even stones, wouldn't it make people's intestines burst if they ate it? But if the people from the Temple of Eternal Life wanted to poison, then it was impossible for them to set fire to the small kitchen. If the small kitchen caught fire, how could they poison themselves? Gu Xingnuo stood there thinking for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
"Go back," Gu Xingyan reached out and supported his elder brother.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xingnuo was a little confused. Why did his younger brother help him all of a sudden?
Young Master Gu said unhappily, "Your face is only slightly prettier than a dead person. Brother, you have internal injuries, don't you know?"
Only then did Gu Xingnuo smile.
"Stop laughing," Young Master Gu supported his eldest brother as he walked towards the mansion, saying, "Brother, if this continues, can my grandfather and I still leave Beijing to visit our hometown?"
"Nothing." Gu Xingnuo patted his second brother's hand and said, "Xinglang and I are here."
"Then," Gu Xingyan looked at his elder brother's pale face, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"The princess, Xinglang and I got some money last night," Gu Xingnuo knew what Gu Xingyan was going to ask, and whispered, "You take Lao Wu and the others back tomorrow, buy grain seeds along the way, and buy more grain now. With the money, it won't be difficult to rebuild the farm."
"How much money did you get?" asked the Second Young Master Gu.
"A lot," Young Master Gu smiled at Young Master Gu.
Young Master Gu was confused. He had just taken a nap, and his elder brother and his friends had made a lot of money? "Brother, you are not telling me a story, are you?" Young Master Gu said in disbelief.
Young Master Gu said, "I won't be in the army this time, so you have to take good care of your grandfather."
"Why are you suddenly talking about this again?" Gu Xingyan rolled his eyes at his eldest brother and said, "Can I not take good care of my grandfather?"
"After you return to your hometown, don't get angry with the generals in the pass because of the manor," Gu Xingnuo said, "Just pretend that the manor was destroyed and don't even mention it."
"How is this possible?" Gu Xingyan shouted, "Those bastards are playing the same trick on us, and I should be polite to them? That's our Gu family's sacrificial field, don't they understand what a sacrificial field is?"
"Look at this," Gu Xingnuo said with a headache, "You've already jumped on top before you even get to the village gate. What do you want to do?"
"I," Young Master Gu actually didn't know what he was going to do. He was furious, but he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on.
"Investigate behind the scenes," Gu Xingnuo said softly after silencing his second brother, "Find out everything that happened in the village when we were away."
"Brother, are you afraid..."
"People who are not of the same mind are trouble in the army," Gu Xingnuo said without letting Gu Xingyan finish his words, "We used to be the only one in the village, so we couldn't see some things. This time is an opportunity."
Gu Xingyan suddenly became a little nervous and said, "Brother, I'm afraid I can't do this."
"So do you count on me or Xinglang to do this?" Young Master Gu asked his second brother.
Gu Xingyan looked at his eldest brother's hanging left arm, gritted his teeth, and said, "I know, I will definitely get it done for you, eldest brother."
"I'll give you some helpers," Gu Xingnuo said, "Once the results are found, don't worry. Wait until I get to the village."
"Okay," Gu Xingyan nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."
"Make more friends with the new officers who have just arrived at the border," Gu Xingnuo told his second brother, "Life at the border is hard. Only when you have a good relationship with the commander can these foreign officers feel at ease."
"I know," Gu Xingyan looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother, do you really think I can do nothing?"
"Even though you're a father, you're still a little bit clumsy," Young Master Gu shook his head and sighed, "How can I trust you? You're the only one accompanying Grandfather this time, so be careful about everything."
The second young master Gu had no choice but to nod again. His elder brother was born to worry, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't worry.
"Let's go to Xinglang," just when the second young master Gu accepted his fate and was ready to listen to his eldest brother's teachings, the eldest young master Gu changed the subject again.
At this time, Young Master Gu's eyes were dazed. Did he blow the fire and the chamber exploded? How could such a thing happen?
Xiao Wei knew that the prince consort would be frightened after he told the truth.
Yu Xiaoxiao said in annoyance: "I accidentally used too much strength."
Gu Xinglang and Xiao Wei both looked at Yu Xiaoxiao. How much strength did you use to blow up the stove?
"Xiao Gu," Yu Xiaoxiao bowed her head and admitted her mistake, saying, "I've been a spendthrift this time." If she had known this would happen, she would not have been greedy for that mouthful of shredded pork noodles. It was so terrible. How could the stoves in this world be so fragile?
"Maybe the stove was about to break down," Xiao Wei said at this time, "so it exploded when the princess blew it."
Gu Xinglang looked up at Xiao Wei and asked, "Do you believe this?"
"We can't let Mammy know about this," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang, "What if she goes crazy?"
Gu Xinglang sighed. If Nanny Wang knew that his wife blew up the stove in one breath, she would either go crazy or be scared to death. "No, I won't tell you," Gu Sanshao said to Yu Xiao, "Xiao Wei is right. The stove was going to break anyway." Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Gu Sanshao believed it.
