Chapter 140 Why are the guards of the Zhan family trying to stop me?
Xiang Minghou chose a secluded corner and glanced sharply at the many dignitaries.
He was not interested in metaphysics or the place beyond the heavens, so he did not know the preciousness of the mutual generation of yin and yang.
It was not until Dean Chen sent out invitations and held a banquet that he understood the meaning of the mutual generation of yin and yang. Thinking about the assassination of Pangtuan, everything made sense.
Because of the rumored fruit, he attacked a child. Humph, don't be fooled by their elegant appearance. Everyone is a greedy wolf in the dark.
So he didn't like to make friends with these people, and even in the court there were only a few he liked.
"Boy from the Xiang family." Old Gu walked over.
Xiang Minghou retracted his gaze and bowed to the newcomer: "Mr. Gu."
"The little girl is feeling better now. This is the Dragon King Ginseng that I have treasured for many years." General Gu handed over the box.
Xiang Minghou didn't reach out to take it: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gu. My daughter is feeling much better now."
"That's good. There have been a lot of rumors these past two days, and I've been worried sick." Old Gu said as he stuffed the box into Xiang Minghou's hands and said, "There are a lot more guards in the academy, many of them are from Minister Qian's family, right?"
Xiang Minghou frowned as he held the gift box, but nodded after hearing what was said.
Most of the guards around Qian Fanji surrounded Pangtuan's yard, and for the safety of his daughter, he did not drive them away.
"The young man from the Qian family is a cold-faced person, but he can send out so many guards. It seems that the little girl is very much in his heart." It was the first time that Old Gu saw Minister Qian mobilize the guards.
Moreover, others don’t know about the affair between Concubine Yu and the Seventh Prince, but this old man knows Qian Fanji’s methods. No one in Beili can do such a ruthless thing except him.
Xiang Minghou's heart is as clear as a mirror. Qian Fanji also has feelings for Pang Tuan. No matter who it is, no one can take his daughter away.
"Mr. Gu, General Xiang." Another voice came, and Master Zhan Yi also came over.
"Hey, isn't this Zhan Yi? You haven't left the house for half a year." Old Gu joked with a smile.
"Mr. Gu still loves to joke." Zhan Yi also smiled.
"I heard that you have been researching elixirs in the past six months. How is it going? Have you made any progress?" asked Old Gu.
“Still studying.”
"Oh? I remember when you were in seclusion, you threatened not to leave the house until the elixir was ready. I didn't expect that a two-yin-yang combination would blow you out of the house."
Zhan Yi laughed helplessly when he heard that. He didn't come here for some crappy Yin-Yang Xiangsheng (two yin and yang combination), he came here for his granddaughter.
"Mr. Gu, please stop teasing me. Mr. Gu, I see quite a few people came to the Gu family today. Only those with invitations can enter. It seems that Dean Chen has sent quite a few invitations to the Gu family. The Gu family still has a lot of face."
"Ah~ Those youngsters are full of the stink of money. Let's not mention them, let's not mention them." Old Gu had a headache when he mentioned his sons and grandsons. What he wanted were granddaughters and great-granddaughters.
"Haha." Zhan Yi just laughed and asked Xiang Minghou, "How is my granddaughter...the little girl?"
Xiang Minghou didn't want to pay any attention to him, but since he was his elder, he said perfunctorily: "It's all right now, Uncle Zhan, don't worry."
"That's good. By the way, Lord Ming, why did you arrange secret guards at the mountain gate to stop my Zhan family guards?" Ever since Zhan Yi returned home, he has sent his own guards to Loushan to gather information.
Unexpectedly, he got no news at all and was beaten black and blue by Xiang Minghou's secret guards.
"Really? I didn't notice." Xiang Minghou said coldly.
Didn't notice?
He definitely did it on purpose!
Zhan Yi was upset. Xiang Minghou was stopping him. When would he be able to see his granddaughter? When would he be able to bring her home?
