Chapter 46 Seven Stars
Gu Jue brought a roasted chicken when he came back. It was a prize he and Tu Ruyu had set during their competition.
He beat Tu Ruyu again, so Tu Ruyu wanted to buy him a roasted chicken.
Later, he asked Gu Jue if they could compete again in the future, and Gu Jue agreed.
But when he came back with the roasted chicken, Yu Chi was not in the room. Gu Jue walked in and put the roasted chicken on the table.
Only then did he realize that Yu Chi had left a note for him on the table.
The pen was sharp and the handwriting was smooth and beautiful.
Yu Chi said:
I am with Yu Hexi, come find me when you come back.
Gu Jue put the note back on the table, thought for a moment, and went over with the roast chicken.
Yu Hexi's room was not far from them. In addition to Yu Hexi and Yu Chi, there was also Gu Wuhui.
"Everyone is here. I brought some food back."
When Yu Hexi opened the door and welcomed Gu Jue in, Gu Jue raised the roast chicken in his hand.
It was indeed almost time for dinner.
The roast chicken was spread out on the table. Gu Jue and Yu Hexi each held a chicken leg in their hands, and Yu Chi's fingers were still on Gu Wuhui's wrist.
"Your body is completely fine now. After returning to Shangjing, you should take good care of yourself."
Yu Chi withdrew his hand. Gu Wuhui nodded and reached out to take a piece of meat.
"I will be more careful."
After finishing the roast chicken, Gu Wuhui and the others invited Yu Chi and Gu Jue to have dinner.
Yu Hexi asked someone to bring the food. Gu Jue sat next to Yu Chi and would glance at Gu Wuhui from time to time.
Yu Chi had told him about this person's identity.
His gaze naturally did not escape Gu Wuhui's eyes, and Gu Wuhui tilted his head towards Gu Jue.
"You've looked at me for several times. Is there something on my face?"
Gu Jue shook his head, "No."
Gu Wuhui was puzzled, "Then what are you looking at?"
"It's my first time meeting the prince, and I'm a little curious."
Gu Wuhui was stunned by Gu Jue's words, and his eyes turned to Yu Chi, and the meaning was obvious.
You told him?
Yu Chi nodded. Gu Wuhui
waved his hand indifferently.
"So how do you feel about it now?"
Since Yu Chi was willing to tell Gu Jue, it proved that he believed in Gu Jue.
And his identity was not a secret. Wulin leader Yan Weixiu and the people around him knew he was here.
He also secretly sent people to protect him. Although he said that he brought secret guards, Yan Weixiu was determined. The martial arts conference was full of good and bad people
. If something happened to Gu Wuhui , it would be a big trouble. "You are a very good person." He did not put on airs, nor did he act superior, nor did he look down on others. He was not quite the same as the prince that Gu Jue had imagined. In his perception, the royal family was of noble birth and should be superior. But Gu Wuhui gave people the feeling that he was unexpectedly easy to talk to. Gu Wuhui smiled and accepted Gu Jue's evaluation of him. Then he asked Yu Chi. "After finishing here in Yucheng, where are you going to go? Have you decided?" Yu Chi shook his head and said, "No." "Let's go to Luoyang. The journey may be a bit far. I heard that the thing you asked me to find out is in Luoyang." Calculating the days, it should be spring when he arrives in Luoyang. At that time, all the flowers will bloom, filling the city of Luoyang, which is also a magnificent sight. However, he came to Yucheng this time, and he had to rush back to Shangjing before New Year's Eve. Yu Chi agreed and asked Gu Wuhui again. "When are you leaving?" "In two days, wait until the conference is over. If we rush, we should be able to rush back before New Year's Eve." He also wanted to see whether Yu Chi, the dark horse guard, could win the championship in this martial arts conference. ... After finishing the meal, they talked for a while, then Yu Chi and Gu Jue went back. Gu Wuhui also stood up to say goodbye, and Yan Weixiu prepared a place for him to stay. Yan Weixiu watched him for a long time but he didn't come back. It was already dark, so he asked Yan Sui to bring someone to pick him up. When Yan Sui arrived, he happened to meet Gu Wuhui who had just walked out of the inn. They waved to the people on the second floor, and then took the lantern and went deep into the night. As soon as Yu Chi and Gu Jue returned to the bedroom, they noticed that someone had been in the room. When Yu Chi left, there was a small gap in the window, and Gu Jue didn't take care of it after he came back. But at this moment, the window was closed tightly, obviously closed by someone else. There was a flower on the note that Gu Jue put back to its original place on the table. A black mandala. That is the symbol of Jiyue Pavilion. Yu Chi picked up the flower, looked at it carefully, asked Gu Jue to put on the cloak, and went out for a while. He moved quickly and put on the cloak while walking. Gu Jue followed him. When leaving the inn, Gu Jue borrowed a lantern from the inn and carried it with him. The cold night was bleak, and the evening wind was a little cold on his face. Finally, Yu Chi took him into a small house, which was the resting place of Jiyue Pavilion. It is said that this time when Jiyue Pavilion came to the martial arts conference, the leader was the leader of Jiyue Seven Stars, Tian Shu, who was also the deputy leader of Jiyue Pavilion. Jiyue Seven Stars are the seven most powerful and valuable killers of Jiyue Pavilion. In addition to them, there is also a master of Jiyue Pavilion, who is very mysterious and has never appeared in public in all these years. When asked about Tianshu, Tianshu just said that the master was busy. Yu Chi knocked on a door, and the person sitting at the table was none other than Tianshu, the deputy master of Jiyue Pavilion. When he saw Yu Chi coming, he smiled. "We found what you wanted, and we are lucky to have fulfilled our mission."
He pushed an ebony box on the table towards Yu Chi.
Yu Chi opened it and placed inside was a very strange-looking plant.
It had blue-purple flowers and scarlet leaves.
Youyue Red Leaf Grass.
Yu Chi closed the lid again.
"What's the next one? Do you remember?"
Tian Shu crossed his hands, resting his elbows on the table, looking calm.
"Of course."
Gu Jue stood behind Yu Chi without saying a word. It seemed that Yu Chi had a deal with Jiyue Pavilion, but...
isn't Jiyue Pavilion a killer organization?
"Jiyue Pavilion is also an intelligence organization, Master Gu Jue."
Tian Shu's voice rang out, and Gu Jue realized that he had just revealed his true feelings.
"Is that so?"
...
"Seven thousand taels, is that okay?!"
"This is not a question of money."
A voice came from next door, and Yu Chi and Gu Jue looked over there at the same time.
Tian Shu chuckled twice.
"This house is not particularly soundproof. If the sound is a little louder, people nearby can hear it. I'm sorry to both of you."
Gu Jue said, and an excited male voice rang out from next door again.
"Eight thousand taels, no more, I'll buy one life!"
Someone replied immediately, "Not even half of it, I told you, I can't kill..."
"Why can't you kill him?"
"I can't beat him."
"You Jiyue Seven Stars are the strongest killers in Jiyue Pavilion. You can't beat a young boy, are you trying to fool a fool?"
"I'm trying to fool you... No, I really can't take it!"
It seems that someone came to Jiyue Pavilion to commission someone to buy a life.
And it didn't go smoothly.
"Who's next door?"
Yu Chi spoke, and Gu Jue glanced at Tian Shu with the remaining light, thinking that this should be the client's privacy and he wouldn't reveal it, right?
Who knew that Tian Shu narrowed his eyes and smiled, very frankly.
"It's Yu Heng, and a fool."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fool spoke.
"You don't even make money, is there something wrong with you Jiyue Pavilion!"
Gu Jue saw Tian Shu's eyes twitching, it seems that he is not very happy about this sentence.
Yu Heng retorted.
"We Jiyue Pavilion don't make all the money, and besides, is eight thousand taels a lot? If you are really in such a hurry, I will show you a way. Go to Dark Night, and with eight thousand taels, you can not only kill someone, but also ask the Dark Night Lord to help you unclog the toilet!"
"You are talking nonsense!"
This sentence is really exciting.
"Why would I lie to you, I have personally tested it and it works, the second lord did it himself."
Yu Chi/Gu Jue/Tian Shu: "..."
Did he really try it?
Yu Chi and Gu Jue said goodbye, and Tian Shu sat there and watched them leave.
When they went out, they happened to meet the fool next door.
He was a man who looked quite majestic. He seemed to be angry. He glanced at Yu Chi and the others and left angrily.
The two looked at each other and shrugged, expressing helplessness.
Yu Chi walked out of the door and looked in the direction where the man left, then retracted his gaze.
They returned to the inn under the cover of night.
