Chapter 288 You’re Really Not Welcome
Gu Yunyi shook his head and said vaguely: "No, Brother Fang and I are just weak scholars, why do we need him? The scene was in chaos, and there were guards with knives everywhere. Brother Fang was touched, so I went to pull him away, but I didn't expect that I would get hurt too."
Fang Ziheng quickly agreed and said, "That's right, he has too little experience, and he was not just frightened for a moment. It was because of me that Brother Gu got hurt."
Zhou Yuanjia also quickly said: "What they said is true, it's not a big problem. I asked the doctor, it's just a skin injury. Can I touch water in the next few days? Just apply medicine on time."
He and others didn't know that the two of them had taken the soldiers to Kang Mansion alone, but they always felt that something was strange, especially when the three men spoke in unison, it seemed like there was something concealing.
But seeing that the two people's hands were wrapped like dumplings, but they were still able to hold the bowl and chopsticks, I thought it was not that serious.
Xu Qingmeng didn't think so. After all, she heard from the soldiers that it was Gu Yunyi who led the troops to the Kang family, and she believed that Fang Ziheng was with them. Seeing Hui Niang and He's anxious looks, she didn't say anything in the end.
However, he still looked at the person in front of him with concern. Gu Yunyi responded with a soothing look and continued eating.
Hui Niang looked at Fang Ziheng with a worried look on her face, "Are you really okay?"
"It's okay, look, I can still hold the bowl!"
"Stop being so cocky. The doctor told you to rest well. Stop wandering around. I'll help you pick out what you want to eat."
"No, I'm really fine. Yuanbao looks very sleepy. You can carry him back to sleep first!"
"It's okay, I'll hold him and I'll wait for you to join me."
Zhou Yuanjia glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Master, what are you two eating? I'll do it."
"This...that...that..." the two said in unison.
"Hey, you two are really rude."
After the three of them finished their meal, they all went back to rest.
Xu Qingmeng had many questions in her mind, but she could see that he was very tired, so she did not disturb him and let him go to the study to sleep first. After all, he would definitely not sleep well with the two little ones around.
Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia slept until the next morning. Hui Niang said that Fang Ziheng did the same.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the news that Lord Kang's mansion was almost massacred had spread widely and became the topic of conversation among everyone.
At the beginning, due to the face of the government, people did not dare to discuss it casually and could only speak carefully. Later, almost everyone in the city knew about it, and the discussion began.
There were all kinds of things said, but for Governor Kang and Pei Cheng, none of them mattered at this moment. The most important thing now was to catch the boss of Jin Yumantang.
Unfortunately, despite the strict defense of Peicheng, this man could not be caught during the city-wide search. Fortunately, some clues were found, indicating that this man had left the city at noon.
At that time, the children and girls had not yet been abducted. The plan was implemented after they were out of the city.
According to the confessions provided by Pei Cheng and his accomplices arrested by the government, the boss of Jin Yu Man Tang was the mastermind of this incident. In addition, this person had left the city early, and the valuable jewelry in Jin Yu Man Tang had already been moved.
Pei Cheng and others have already understood that he had started planning very early and treated all the people as abandoned pawns, not caring about their lives at all.
This person had made sufficient preparations early on. Even if he knew which direction the person went now, it would be impossible to catch him because such a long time had passed.
Kang Hongxuan hated this man so much that his teeth itched, and Pei Cheng felt the same way.
But things had come to this, and neither of them had any other options but to put the matter aside for the time being.
As soon as Xu Qingmeng and others finished their meal, Pei Cheng asked someone to invite Gu Yunyi over. When he arrived, Pei Cheng was studying the map of the city.
He pointed and drew circles on the map, calculating where the rich boss might go.
However, this was not just a random guess on his part. He had someone investigate this person's interactions and preferences.
When Gu Yunyi arrived, Pei Cheng's eyes left the map.
"Please sit down first." Pei Cheng came around from behind the table and sat face to face with Gu Yunyi.
"uncle."
"Um."
Pei Cheng picked up the teacup and glanced at it thoughtfully: "The night before yesterday, you did a good job. You were a little courageous. You are worthy of being a member of our Pei family."
Gu Yunyi shook his head: "No, uncle, I was reckless."
His kung fu was not good enough and he did not find Pei Cheng at that time. Fortunately, Pei Cheng's deputy general knew him, and he took a few people to Kang's house. He was also glad that the person who stayed behind was Pei Cheng's deputy general.
However, Gu Yunyi reflected on himself afterwards. Although he saved Mrs. Kang and the young master of the Kang family, he was still impulsive. Not only was he injured, but Fang Ziheng was also injured.
Fortunately, Pei Cheng's deputy general is quite skilled in martial arts, otherwise they would not only be injured but also Bai Songming might be killed.
There was a faint smile in Pei Cheng's eyes.
Still too young.
The young man, full of passion and the urgency of the situation, rushed out without even having time to think.
However, it was indeed because he arrived in time that the result was considered good, otherwise Mrs. Kang and Kang Mingnuo would really have been hopeless.
"So I say, a scholar is good for nothing. If you follow your uncle and learn Kung Fu, you will definitely be able to make achievements in the army with your sharpness in the future. Why would you bother taking the imperial examination?"
Pei Cheng began to express his military views again.
Pei Cheng was not prejudiced against scholars, but he was particularly pessimistic about his nephew Gu Yunyi's choice to take the imperial examination.
The main reason is that I think he is so weak, how can he protect his sister and the whole family.
It was the same last time. If he hadn’t met him, he would have died. If he really died, how would the He family live in the future?
Moreover, as a member of the Pei family, what would happen if he was unable to protect his family? Fortunately, he had no right to say anything about him. After all, even though his father was a military general, he still failed to protect his sister.
This is also the reason why he is determined to become a military general. His nephew is not lacking in courage and brains. If he can practice martial arts well, his future achievements will definitely be greater than his.
Especially with the Pei family's connections...
"Uncle, you know, this is not my ambition." Gu Yunyi said with a smile.
However, seeing his uncle's increasingly gloomy face, he hurriedly said in a flattering manner: "Uncle, don't worry, I will practice diligently in the future and will never embarrass you."
He really thought so. He hoped that in the future he would not have to rely on others to save people, but on himself.
