Chapter 434: Guiyuan Gate 3
"I know that I haven't been with you for all these years, so it's normal for you to feel unfamiliar with me. But, slowly, there will always be a day when you will call me brother."
Facing Gu Erli, Gu Jingchun really didn't know how to face him, so he could only nod.
For a moment, the scene was a little awkward.
At this time, Lan Xin came in with tea, and Gu Jingchun quickly changed the subject.
"This is this year's new tea, which I roasted myself. How does it taste?"
Gu Erli took a sip.
“It’s delicious.”
As he spoke, he looked Gu Jingchun up and down.
"I heard that you had an accident on the road today. Now that I see that you are okay, I feel relieved."
Gu Jingchun nodded.
"We just encountered a few petty thieves on the road and sent them off without a hitch. They've already been sent to the palace, so they won't cause any trouble."
Gu Erli finally breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his tea and took a sip before casually saying, "That's good. Have you found out who sent the other party?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun also picked up the tea and took a sip before saying, "I've already asked, and they said they were from Guiyuan Sect. However, I've never heard of that name before, so I guess they made it up."
Gu Erli frowned slightly.
He slowly put down the teacup and then slowly spoke.
"Guiyuan Gate?"
"I do know a Guiyuan Sect, but I'm not sure if it's the one you're talking about."
"oh?"
Gu Jingchun raised his eyebrows, quickly put down the teacup, and then said, "Really?"
"Then can you tell me in detail about this Guiyuan Sect?"
Gu Erli smiled, his eyes full of doting.
"Of course."
“The Guiyuan Sect I know is very mysterious. I only learned about its existence by accident.
Most of the people in the sect are beggars.
Although they are inconspicuous, they are numerous and almost cover all the beggars in Tiandu. Therefore, they have unknowingly established a very powerful network of contacts in Tiandu."
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.
This is similar to the idea of her Tianjing Trading Company, but beggars are indeed better at doing some things.
"Doesn't that mean that the Guiyuan Sect has already formed a very terrifying force in Dacheng, or that they can control Dacheng when necessary?"
Gu Erli nodded gently.
“Although it is not yet at the level of being able to control the Great Perfection, its strength cannot be underestimated. Therefore, when I came back this time, I wanted to talk about this matter with Your Majesty.
I didn't expect that this would happen to you before I could even tell you."
Gu Jingchun thought about this and continued, "If that's the case, if they want to deal with me, they have plenty of ways to do it. Why would they resort to such a despicable method?"
Gu Erli couldn't help but shook his head and chuckled.
"That... I don't know. I guess the other party didn't know your strength, so he underestimated you."
Gu Jingchun still shook his head.
"No, because it's more than that. I really can't understand. I didn't even know about the existence of Guiyuan Sect, and I have no grudge against them. Why would they come to kill me?"
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until we catch the person and ask him about this."
Gu Jingchun heard this and asked, "How do we catch this?"
Gu Erli: "Catch them bit by bit. Since they hurt you, I will definitely not let them go. I will go to the palace now to ask for permission to handle this matter personally. I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."
As he spoke, Gu Erli stood up.
After hearing this, Gu Jingchun quickly stood up as well.
"The situation is still unclear. You must proceed with caution to avoid alerting the enemy and getting hurt."
Gu Erli nodded, delighted by Gu Jingchun's sudden concern.
"Okay, don't worry, I know what's going on."
After saying that, Gu Erli left.
Lan Xin walked in only after he left.
"Miss, Master Gu is really good to you. He came here immediately after hearing that you were in danger. It seems that he really loves you."
Gu Jingchun smiled slightly.
"I'm afraid he came here today not really for me, but to find out the truth."
Lan Xin didn't quite understand what was said.
"Miss, you...why don't you speak more simply? I don't quite understand."
Gu Jingchun: "What I mean is that he came here today, firstly to find out what I was thinking, and secondly to tell me about the Guiyuan Sect."
Lan Xin nodded.
"That's quite a coincidence. You were just assassinated by someone from Guiyuan Sect and learned about the existence of Guiyuan Sect. The eldest son also knew about the Guiyuan Sect and even explained it to you."
Gu Jingchun sighed.
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he stopped thinking and prepared to go to bed early.
Unexpectedly, before she started to rest, she heard Gu Jinxi's voice.
"Mother..."
"You didn't, did you, mother?"
Gu Jinxi rushed over with his short legs.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun quickly squatted down and held Gu Jinxi in his arms, then said: "It's okay, mother is fine, it's just a few petty thieves, don't hurt mother."
As Gu Jinxi spoke, she came out of Gu Jingchun's arms.
"Mother, let me look at you."
As Gu Jinxi spoke, she looked Gu Jingchun up and down, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
He also took out all kinds of strange things from the small cloth bag he carried with him.
"Mother, look, these are the weapons I just made. I'm giving them to you. You must always carry them with you. If you encounter any danger, they will definitely come in handy."
"good."
Looking at Gu Jinxi's expectant eyes, Gu Jingchun touched Gu Jinxi's head lovingly, nodded in agreement, and then looked up at Chen Hechuan.
Chen Hechuan's face was not looking good at this time. After seeing Gu Jingchun's gaze, he could no longer hold back and directly hugged Gu Jingchun in his arms.
"I'm glad you're okay."
"I failed to protect you."
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
"The guards you sent to follow me were of no use at all, and you still say they failed to protect me."
As he spoke, he gently touched Shen Hechuan's face again, his tone full of comfort.
"Don't worry, your future queen is not a weak little woman. Even if I don't know martial arts, I have enough ability to protect myself. I will not be scared by such a petty thief. You should know this."
Chen Hechuan naturally understood all this, but when facing his beloved, he would naturally be extra nervous.
That's why after hearing the news, he hurried over with Gu Jinxi.
After that, Gu Jinxi seemed to be frightened. No matter what was said, she would hold on to Gu Jingchun and refused to let go, insisting on sleeping with him.
