Chapter 416 Fish Hooked

He was already holding a grudge, and now being ridiculed by a junior, how could he sit still?

So he jumped up and started cursing.

"Xing Zhao, don't think you can take advantage of your family's power to show off here. After all, I am your elder. Look at the attitude you have when you talk. It is really the fault of the father. I don't know if Lord Xing is too busy with official duties and didn't discipline his son well, but let him go to bite others at will. Be careful, you don't know what will happen to you in the future!"

His words actually insulted the Xing family father and son. And because it happened at the Gu family's table, it also slapped the face of Gu Shaoyu, the host. Therefore, Gu Shaoyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and asked Luo Yuan and Ni Yang to kick the man out.

After more than three months of adjustment, Luo Yuan's health has improved greatly.

Although he still took into account the military doctor's advice not to ride a horse or use swords or guns, he still had more than enough strength to deal with Gu Yanli.

So the man who was carrying the contraband threw him out harshly, which greatly damaged Gu Yanli's reputation, and then he added fuel to the fire.

"Not to mention you, even the ministers in the court have to be polite when they see my general. Who the hell are you? How dare you pretend to be a big shot here? It's ridiculous. When my general's mourning period is over, you will be the first one to be dealt with!"

His words hurt Gu Yanli word by word.

For Gu Yanli, having lost the title of imperial merchant, his status in the family is no longer as good as before. His father originally favored his eldest and second brothers, and it is even more so now.

He couldn't accept it, so he turned over and stood up, staring at Luo Yuan fiercely, as if he was speaking to Gu Shaoyu through him.

"I'll wait and see. I'm afraid your general will be able to complete his mourning period, but won't be able to return to Sui'an!"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves, got on the carriage and left the Gu family's gate.

Luo Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the carriage going away sarcastically, then said to Ni Yang.

"What do you mean? A piece of junk like this wants to assassinate the general on the road?"

Isn't this a provocation to those who followed the general? It's simply abominable! However, Ni Yang watched the carriage leave, and some other thoughts came to his mind, and then he said to Luo Yuan.

"Keep a close eye on Gu Yanli, I'm afraid the fish will be caught soon."

They have been secretly investigating the situation of the Seventh Branch of the Gu Family these days, but because Liu Xun is not there, they dare not act rashly in many places for fear of attracting the attention of the people in the Seventh Branch, so the progress is not fast.

Now the general, Xing Zhao and Luo Yuan are all angry, and it seems that Gu Yanli has been driven a little crazy. So in this situation, it is very likely that some flaws will be found.

After listening to Ni Yang's words, Luo Yuan also felt that it made sense, and then volunteered to speak.

"Or I'll go!"

"You must be joking. Your wounds haven't healed yet. Have you forgotten what the military doctor said? I'll go."

After saying this, Ni Yang dodged and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

As for where it's going, no one knows.

After Gu Yanli was thrown out, the faces of the Gu family's relatives became even uglier, especially the female relatives, including the eldest aunt and Gu Sanniang, who left without even eating.

As for the other members of the Gu family, their eyes were filled with righteous indignation, but they did not dare to really break up with each other. Seeing how awkward they looked, Xing Zhao smiled and leaned close to Gu Shaoyu's ear and spoke.

"These relatives of yours are really funny. They are in such a state, but they still refuse to leave."

“Same here.”

What Gu Shaoyu meant by "each other" was that the Xing family also had excellent relatives.

Everyone knew that Xing You, the daughter of the eldest branch of the Xing family, had gone north to Sui'an City, but the journey was not really peaceful. It was said that they had just arrived in Sui'an City not long ago, and the two daughters of the second branch, Xing Hui and Xing Si, had also arrived.

Isn't it obvious that he wants to compete with his sister for the future?

Therefore, the Xing family has been very busy recently. Mrs. Xing lamented that her daughter had married off early and would not be involved in these messy things.

Although her son-in-law's ability was naturally not as good as that of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, they were a loving couple and lived a harmonious life, so she didn't care about the so-called wealth.

When Xing Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Cousin, you're really talkative. You've exposed almost all of the Xing family's secrets."

Gu Shaoyu was able to find out these things because he left some spies behind when he left Sui'an City, so he knew some of the big and small things going on in Sui'an City.

However, Liu Xun had been in the north for some time, and apart from sending him a letter half a month ago, there had been no news from him. After experiencing Luo Yuan's disappearance, he was obviously worried about Liu Xun's safety.

"Is everything done? Do you have time to talk nonsense with me here?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Although Gu Shaoyu did not say it explicitly, Xing Zhao knew that he was disliking him for not dealing with the affairs of Yizhou. He did not have a fixed position in the court now, so running around would not cause much panic.

Yizhou is near Jinling City and is the fief of Princess Yuehua.

And as a leisurely person who likes to hang out everywhere at any time, it is naturally the most suitable person to do this.

So Xing Zhao smiled awkwardly and pushed the blame onto Yan Sanlang who was standing next to him.

"Isn't it his fault? He insisted on taking me to watch the training of the Navy Camp before letting me go. Didn't that delay me for a few days?"

Yan Sanlang, who was named, is now a captain in the navy camp, commanding more than a thousand soldiers. He is certainly not comparable to Gu Shaoyu, but he is still a great improvement over the third young master of the Earl's Mansion.

And because he trains outside day and night, he is now much darker and stronger than before, and his eyes and brows are more calm and confident. All in all, Gu Shaoyu likes him much more now than before.

He came today because of a post from Du Jingyi.

Ever since that time when he had a heart-to-heart talk with his third aunt and Gu Xiaolang, Du Jingyi knew that both mother and daughter had some respect for Yan Sanlang's persistence.

I came here from afar and have been working very hard for almost two years. I have truly reached my current position based on my own strength, and none of the shortcuts my family took were of any use.

Just for this point, not to mention Gu Xiaolang and her daughter, even Du Jingyi looked up to Yan Sanlang, so he took this opportunity to send a letter to him.

No matter what, it's always a signal.

Half a year later, when Gu Xiaolang is out of mourning, maybe she and Yan Sanlang will really have the possibility to take things further. Who knows.

So he followed Xing Zhao here.
