Chapter 58: To Each His Own Calculation
"Hmph, sure enough, there is a backer. Gu Manting's face was hideous, and he asked the secret guard who came to deliver the message, "Can you see the origin of the man in white?"
The dark guard replied: "The subordinates are incompetent, so they can't check it." ”
Gu Manting waved his hand: "Go down, you guys will continue to watch." ”
"Yes. ”
Gu Chong said on the side: "Master, the people sent by the General's Mansion are all veterans with ten years of military experience, and their strength is not weak. can destroy more than a dozen opponents with the power of one person, this person's strength should not be underestimated. ”
Gu Manting's face was solemn: "Qinghe, this girl, when did you get acquainted with these people?"
"Could it be related to Qingxian Teahouse?" Gu Chong remembered that Gu Qinghe had only been to Qingxian Teahouse except for this Gu Mansion.
"Leisure teahouse. Gu Manting frowned, "It's not impossible, if that's the case, I'm afraid we won't be able to move this girl." ”
"Master, who is behind this Qingxian Teahouse? It makes you so jealous?" Gu Chong also knew that Qingxian Teahouse was special, but he didn't know where it was special.
Gu Manting was a little helpless and stunned: "Actually, I don't know much about it, I learned from His Royal Highness where did I know about it, and the people in the Qingxian Teahouse must not be messed with." ”
"Now, it's going to be a problem. Gu Chongdao, and suddenly he thought of a plan again, "Since Miss Seven can't move, why don't we join forces with her?"
Gu Manting's face changed, and there was a faint anger in his eyes.
Gu Chong knew Gu Manting's thoughts at this time, and he hurriedly said: "Judging from the matter of Fourth Miss, Seventh Miss and our purpose are actually on the same line. We can work with her. I know that the master is sad about the eldest young master, but after all, the eldest young master is missing, and the eldest aunt has been driven back to the general's mansion by you, so you really don't need to be angry with the seventh miss because of the matter of the eldest young master. ”
"What's more, what's more, now we can't be sure that the eldest young master was killed by Miss Seven. Gu Chong analyzed as a bystander, "If you join forces with Miss Seven, you can more effectively let the Third Highness sit in that position, and it is not unnecessary." ”
"Gu Chong, have you ever thought that if Qinghe's girl deliberately cooperated with us in order to find out our news, so as to annihilate us in one fell swoop?" Gu Manting shook his head and said with a resolute attitude, "In short, I don't believe in Gu Qinghe, let alone cooperate with her." ”
"Just. Gu Manting was a little confused, "It's just that what should I do with Gu Qinghe now?" ”
Gu Chong knew that once Gu Manting decided that something would not change, he would never persuade Gu Manting again, so he said: "The General's Mansion has planted a fight this time, naturally it will not give up, let's watch the tiger fight across the mountain first, and wait for the opportunity to move." ”
Gu Manting sighed lightly: "Just do as you say." ”
At the same time, in the General's Mansion, the eldest aunt was smashing the teacup on the head of the black-clothed leader: "Waste! I can't even kill a little girl, what's the use of leaving you!"
The black-clothed leader was impartial and did not hide, and forced the eldest aunt to smash it squarely: "The crime of his subordinates!"
The eldest aunt's eyes widened, panting heavily, Gu Linghe was beside her to help her breathe, "Mother, don't be angry, it won't work this time, we'll send more powerful people next time!"
Saying that, Gu Linghe said to the guards: "What are you still doing in a daze!
The guards didn't dare to disobey, and stepped forward to drag the black-clothed leader down.
The eldest aunt was smooth, and her expression was cold: "Gu Qinghe, if I don't kill you, I swear not to be a man!"
"Third sister, why do you have to do this!" the eldest aunt's eldest brother, Sun Yong, walked into the courtyard with a reproachful look on his face.
When the eldest aunt saw Sun Yong coming in, she hurriedly greeted him, and tears welled up.
In this general's mansion, there is only such a brother who loves her.
When the eldest aunt was just driven back to the General's Mansion, the people in the General's Mansion were sneering at her, but the eldest brother Sun Yong felt sorry for himself and comforted himself.
"Big brother, you want to avenge Jun Tang. The eldest aunt said that the tears could not stop flowing.
Sun Yong also blamed himself, Gu Juntang left from him to assassinate Gu Qinghe, but he was also partially responsible.
Sun Yong patted the eldest aunt on the shoulder: "Third sister, don't worry, the eldest brother will naturally avenge Jun Tang, but you shouldn't be so reckless anymore." ”
The eldest aunt looked incredulous: "Big brother, even you have to blame me?"
Sun Yong frowned, disgusted in his heart, but he felt sorry for the eldest aunt who lost her son and husband, so she endured it and comforted: "Third sister, you think too much." Although the assassination of Gu Qinghe this time was a failure, it was not for nothing. ”
"What do you say?" the eldest aunt stopped crying.
"When our people were secretly following Gu Qinghe, didn't they find that there were other people following. I guess it's Gu Manting's person, his people don't want to help when they see us doing it, it can be seen that Gu Manting, like you and me, doesn't want Gu Qinghe to live. Su Yong said.
"So what? If the master really wants Gu Qinghe to die, he has a chance to do it in the mansion, and can he still let her live until now?" The eldest aunt listened to Su Yong mention Gu Manting, thinking that she might never be able to return to the Gu mansion, and she would never be able to raise her head and be a man, so her mood fell to a low point.
Now she has the only thought of killing Gu Qinghe to avenge Gu Juntang, and the fourth aunt who sits on the position of the eldest lady!
"If you start in the house, he naturally can't get out of it. Now that the imperial court is in a critical and chaotic moment, how can Gu Manting risk falling into the hands of others. Sun Yong smiled a little cruelly, "So, we can join forces with Gu Manting, design to trick Gu Qinghe out, and then send a large number of masters to attack her." I don't believe she'll survive!"
"Join forces with the master?" the eldest aunt hesitated.
"You wrote to Gu Manting just to avenge Gu Juntang, when the time comes, you pay attention to your words, I believe Gu Manting will agree. Sun Yong said.
The eldest aunt was still a little worried, but she nodded in the end: "I'll go write a letter." ”
Gu Manting and the General's Mansion had their own thoughts, and Gu Qinghe, the protagonist of their calculations, returned to Shangshu Mansion.
When Gu Qinghe returned to the Orchid Garden, it was already sunset, and as soon as the two entered the Orchid Garden, they saw a person sitting on a branch dangling his legs, smiling so much that he showed a mouthful of white teeth, and his eyes were as bright as stars.
"I've been waiting for you for most of the day. Bai Yan jumped down from the tree and looked at Gu Qinghe with a smile.
Hongdou took the lead and stopped Bai Yan: "How can you trespass into a private house!"
Bai Yan's gaze was blocked by the red beans, he looked at the red beans in front of him who were protecting Gu Qinghe like an old hen, and was happy: "Why are you so wary of me?"
Hongdou grimaced: "Because you are a fool, you are completely a ruffian! Of course I don't allow you to bring disaster to my young lady!"
Bai Yan was a little helpless, he spread his hands and said: "The conscience of heaven and earth, if you want to talk about disasters, I think that your young lady is about the same as me." ”
