Chapter 247 Worried about Betrayal
Xie Rongying looked at Gu Xun with a deeper look in her eyes. If Gu Xun said that he had something to tell her, she would actually be a little curious.
After all, before Gu Xun followed Xie Rongying, he was wandering around the world.
"You look so serious." Xie Rongying's eyes showed a hint of interest. "Could it be that you did something behind my back?"
At this time, Cuizhi and Dongxue came out from the inner room.
Gu Xun glanced at Dongxue and the other person.
The two of them understood and bowed to Xie Rongying, saying in unison, "Miss, I will take my leave first."
Xie Rongying nodded slightly, and thinking of Xie Jing, she reminded him, "Keep an eye on my father."
Dongxue, who was about to move her feet, stopped, not understanding what her master meant.
"Give him some food. If he makes a fuss, let him make a fuss." Xie Rongying knew that Xie Jing would not turn back until he hit the wall. Even if all the pros and cons were put in front of Xie Jing, Xie Jing would not feel anything.
Xie Jing has never put the core interests of the Xie family first. He cares more about his own feelings.
He cares more about the things and people he feels guilty about.
I never thought about what the Xie family had gone through to reach its current status.
If you want to make a fuss, then make it a good one.
It was impossible for her to keep an eye on Xie Jing all the time. Since this father was restless, she shouldn't blame her daughter for standing by and watching.
"Just let the Master make trouble?" Dongxue still didn't quite understand what Xie Rongying meant, so she asked tentatively, "Miss, do you mean to provide the Master with three meals a day and take good care of his injuries?"
"Let him have fun." Xie Rongying said indifferently.
Dongxue's eyes became more serious, and she said, "I understand."
The girl seems to be willing to let her master throw his life away and make trouble?
Dong Xuefu followed Cuizhi out of the room, closing the door behind them.
Gu Xun raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Rongying, and asked, "Master, are you not going to keep Master Xie under your watch?"
"After the Shi family encountered trouble, Shi Yang's younger brother returned to Bian Jing. My father had just settled down when he was anxious to go out and meet his old friends despite his still-unhealed body. I don't know what the second master of the Shi family said to my father at the time." Xie Rongying was a little confused.
She decided to come to Yizhou later. How did the second master of the Shi family know that she was coming to Yizhou?
Either he had said something to Xie Jing, or the second master of the Shi family told him the reason why he had been resting in Yizhou all year round, so Xie Jing was so eager to go out and meet the second master of the Shi family.
Thinking of what Xie Jing said to her this morning, Xie Rongying's smile deepened: "Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"
Gu Xun lowered his eyes and said bluntly, "I have dealt with Shangguan Yan several times before."
Xie Rongying raised her eyebrows, this seemed to be beyond her expectations.
All she knew about Gu Xun was that he had some contact with Qin Junchen.
"How many times have you dealt with Shangguan Yan?" Xie Rongying repeated Gu Xun's words.
Gu Xun raised his eyes and met Xie Rongying's gaze. His tone, which had been stiff just now, became much gentler. "Master, do you remember what I told you? When Jiang Liuye's last wife was killed by him, her family found me. However, I later took Qin Junchen's money, and the deal was never completed."
"I remember." Xie Rongying knew that Qin Junchen had settled the matter of Gu Xun's assassination of Jiang Yin: "Could Shangguan Yan have been involved in this?"
"Qin Junchen found his subordinates through Shangguan Yan." Gu Xun's eyes grew more serious. "A few months ago, you asked your subordinates to hire people to engage in the murder trade with you. They gathered over 500 people. This group of people is not a small number. Shangguan Yan has been around all kinds of people for many years, so he must know that there are fewer people engaging in the murder trade."
"I'm thinking, if Shangguan Yan is lying in ambush in Yizhou and knows you've arrived, he'll surely notice I'm with you." Gu Xun spoke cautiously again, "Then Shangguan Yan will probably also suspect that the five hundred or so people who gathered here are all like me, serving under your command, young lady."
Xie Rongying's eyes lit up with interest when she heard this: "So, you and Shangguan Yan are acquainted?"
Gu Xun nodded, but the interest in Xie Rongying's eyes puzzled him. "I told you this because I wanted to let you know that Shangguan Yan might take other actions while he's on guard against you."
"Any other moves?" Xie Rongying smiled faintly. "Could it be possible that Shangguan Yan will come after you, or Huaian and Bailin?"
"It's possible." Gu Xun said this with a firmer tone: "I am sure that I will be loyal to you, my master."
But Gu Xun couldn't guarantee the others. He knew better than anyone how cold-hearted these people were. They would kill for money. If Shangguan Yan gave them a higher reward...
"Master, I am worried."
"Are you worried that others will betray me?" Xie Rongying said with a slight frown.
Just as she finished speaking, Cuizhi's voice rang out from outside the room, revealing a hint of anxiety: "Miss, the master wants to see you."
