He knew he had just gone too far, but this was just a small request.
He had stayed in an inn before and even had two of his front teeth knocked out. How could he dare to go there again?
"You! Mo Qing!"
Sheng Mingyu's face turned pale. This guy was really unreasonable.
Gu Yunni did not refuse the man's request and stopped Sheng Mingyu.
"No! You can stay at my house for now. I'm really worried about sending you out in your current situation. I need to learn more about it later. Maybe I really need to go to Anyuan County."
What the man proposed was also reasonable. Since he had already taken charge of the matter, he had to see it through to the end.
"Yun Ni..."
Sheng Mingyu resisted a little.
How could they arrange for a random man to live in their house? Even if he lived in Gu Yunni's yard, he was still unhappy.
"Okay! It's settled. You should pack your bags and come with me."
In her heart, Sheng Mingyu is the most important, and the rest can sit in the back.
If it weren't for business, why would she be willing to get along with other men?
Sheng Mingyu laughed out loud. Yes, there was nothing to worry about. He was just an ordinary person and could not be compared with herself.
"Okay! Then you can stay at our house first. When I have time, I'll go to Anyuan County with you. My fiancée is very understanding."
Gu Yunni suddenly brought back a strange man, and Gu's mother and Gu Chang'an were also shocked.
However, when they heard that they were Gu Yunni's guests, they became very enthusiastic.
They also knew that Gu Yunni owed Sheng Mingyu money, and she should indeed work hard to earn money to pay off the debt.
If her health allowed it, Gu's mother would have wanted to go out and set up a stall.
"Young man, I think you look pretty good, but why are you so pale? Did something happen to you? Did you encounter a ghost? Don't worry, my daughter is the best at dealing with these things." Mother Gu became enthusiastic.
Also because the man was good-looking and willing to be approached, Gu's mother kept talking to him.
Sheng Mingyu's face darkened. Why was this man so annoying and attracted the attention of his mother-in-law?
Gu Yunni gave a helpless smile and brought up the topic, "Can you tell me about the situation in Anyuan County? I never left the house before, so I don't know much about the outside world."
She could ask anyone, but in order to make Sheng Mingyu happy, she asked him.
"Anyuan County? It's just a small county, but because it's located near the capital, it's much more famous than other places. Compared to other cities, it should be richer."
Sheng Mingyu lowered his head and pondered the past of Anyuan County.
Even though he is a dandy prince, he knows more about the affairs of the world than the crown prince.
Otherwise, why do people say that he is more suitable to sit in that position than the prince?
Sounding promising, Gu Yunni quickly asked her question, "Has anything strange happened in Anyuan County? For example, ghost stories or stories about esoteric magic, even legends or powerful masters."
She didn't want to know how Anyuan County was developing or how much tax it paid every year. She mainly wanted to know about the mysterious arts.
"If you ask me about this, I really don't know much. You know I've been fighting outside for the past few years. Why don't you ask the Imperial Master? Even though he used to live on the border, he knows these things best."
Sheng Mingyu was originally complacent, but when he heard the question asked by Gu Yunni, he was stunned.
What kind of question is this? Can I ask about development?
"Forget it. I can find out myself when I get there." Gu Yunni was a little depressed. It seemed that she still didn't get any useful good news.
But she didn't blame Sheng Mingyu.
Sheng Mingyu was right. He was usually out fighting, so how could he possibly know these things? He wasn't a gossiper.
Sheng Mingyu couldn't bear to disappoint Gu Yunni, so he frowned and thought hard for a long time before he remembered something interesting.
"Hey! If you're talking about the mystical arts, I think I've heard of it before. I heard that a long time ago, a master of the mystical arts appeared in the capital and attracted the attention of His Majesty. It was because of this that the Imperial Master was banished to the border."
But this matter is so different from what Gu Yunni said, and I don’t know if I can help.
"That master of the mystical arts is a devious one. He knows a little bit about the righteous ways, but it's too little. The Imperial Preceptor spoke frankly and offended him. And Your Majesty fell for his bewitching ways, so the Imperial Preceptor was driven away. I heard he even commented on this prince."
The reason why Sheng Mingyu could remember this person was because of him, otherwise he would not be willing to observe the trivial things outside.
Before he met Gu Yunni, he didn't often come into contact with the outside world, and any contact he had with the outside world was considered a bad thing.
"So what happened next? Why did the Imperial Master return to Kyoto, but that Master of Mystic Arts disappeared without a trace? I haven't heard of that Master of Mystic Arts since I left the Marquis' Mansion."
Gu Yunni was interested. She didn't expect such a thing to happen in Kyoto.
She was also carefully recalling the events of her past life, wondering if she had ever heard of it.
She seemed to remember that there really was an incident involving a master of the mysterious arts in her previous life.
But I was just a little girl in the boudoir at that time, how could I possibly pay attention to these little things?
"That master of the mystical arts was exposed, causing harm to many people. His Majesty was furious and wanted to kill him, but he disappeared from prison. It was because of this that the Imperial Master was able to return to the capital."
Sheng Mingyu didn't take this matter to heart at all. Although this incident caused a great stir at that time, it had nothing to do with this man.
That master of mystical arts was very arrogant, how could he possibly know a small figure like this man?
"Then think carefully, where did that master come from? What if he has been to Anyuan County?"
Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu have different ideas.
Sheng Mingyu may think that there is no problem, but as long as this master passes through Anyuan County, problems may arise.
People like them who are so powerful in mystical arts can bring bad luck to others just by touching their fingers.
But it is easy to hurt people, but difficult to save them.
"It seems like he came from Anyuan County? Later he disappeared and we don't know where he went. No one cares. Are you sure this matter is really related to this man?" Sheng Mingyu was not sure.
He knew that these things were very important to Gu Yunni, and she would be angry if he lied.
"I'm not sure, but my intuition tells me that this matter is likely closely related to that master of the mysterious arts. The person who can use this method has evil intentions but is very powerful."
Gu Yunni was not sure either, but this was at least a direction.
If she doesn't start from this direction, she will have a headache for a long time.
