Chapter 13: Encountering the Enemy Halfway

In order to dispel Mrs. Gu Shi's naΓ―ve thoughts as soon as possible, Chu Ziqian had to speed up to deal with the matter at hand. Knocking Su Shi out of the room with a smiling face, Chu Ziqian stayed awake all night, and when he integrated all the ledgers, he was exhausted.

After taking a nap for a few hours, Chu Ziqian found a suitable time to come to the Gu Mansion again. threw the ledger in front of Li Yuzhen, and told her what she should do to stop the mouths of those shopkeepers, and agreed that she, a woman, would take over the Gu family's business. Fortunately, Li Yuzhen was not a stupid woman, and she quickly understood what Chu Ziqian meant.

Li Yuzhen carefully flipped through the account book, then looked at Chu Ziqian with a puzzled face, and asked, "Why do you want to help me like this?" ”

"Help?" Chu Ziqian smiled softly, his eyes hidden under the mask full of mockery. "What we look at is just the Gu family's money, don't think too high about your status, we don't have to be you, but you can't find anyone else besides us to meet everything you want."

In fact, Li Yuzhen should have guessed that this was the case, they repeatedly promised that they could make themselves worry about food and clothing, but to be honest, seeing everything in their family fall into the hands of others like this, Li Yuzhen's heart is still difficult to accept.

Chu Ziqian saw Li Yuzhen's reluctance, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said again: "If Mrs. Gu doesn't want this stability, I think someone will be willing to cooperate with us instead of you." ”

Chu Ziqian casually said that Gu Shi's wife went to her house to say goodbye, looking at Li Yuzhen's surprised expression, it was obvious that she didn't know about it.

"It's all about what you spend, and there's no limit to how much."

Chu Ziqian thought that he was kind enough to Li Yuzhen, after all, the one who suffered was herself, and she was just sitting back and enjoying the results.

Throwing down the mask, Chu Ziqian stretched comfortably, enjoying the warmth of the sun shining on his body, and walked slowly on the path home.

Chu Ziqian has not lived the life that normal people should live for a long time, and for this kind of day full of thrills everywhere, Chu Ziqian can't say whether it is good or bad for a while. Suddenly feeling that his stomach was a little empty, Chu Ziqian turned around and changed the direction of walking, and walked towards a quieter place on the edge of the city.

The Chu family's business is all over the capital, and the restaurant in front of Chu Ziqian is one of them. Although it is not in the middle of the city, it is located in a beautiful environment, and there is no noise in the city, so even if the price is more expensive than there, there are still many people who come here to eat.

As soon as Chu Ziqian walked into the door, the shopkeeper recognized him. hurriedly greeted him with a smile, thinking that Chu Ziqian was here to inspect the store. After hearing Chu Ziqian say that he wanted to try the new dishes in the store, the shopkeeper took him to the private room on the second floor without saying a word.

And it was not only the shopkeeper who recognized Chu Ziqian, but also Lu Zhiyao, who came here to eat with the Moon Rain Butterfly.

Chu Ziqian inadvertently glanced back when he went upstairs, and saw Lu Zhiyao sitting there. His expression was stunned and his steps stopped, although Lu Zhiyao didn't open his mouth to call him, but Chu Ziqian couldn't pretend not to see her, so he slipped upstairs, because Lu Zhiyao's gaze showed that she had already discovered him.

After the shopkeeper found that Chu Ziqian turned around and went downstairs again, he followed in confusion. Chu Ziqian walked up to Lu Zhiyao and the three of them, glanced at the food on the table, and several people seemed to have eaten almost enough.

Lu Zhiyao has spent a lot of money in the Chu family's shop during this time, and he finally met him once, so of course he won't let it go.

Lu Zhiyao looked at Chu Ziqian, and then at the table of food, without saying anything, Chu Ziqian had already read what she wanted to express.

Chu Ziqian frowned with a headache, and then said to the shopkeeper beside him: "Remember not to accept their silver at this table." ”

"Huh? Yes! The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and then nodded again and again, his eyes swept over the faces of the three women, and he secretly guessed in his heart the relationship between these three people and his young master.

"I'm still coming in the future, what should I do?" Lu Zhiyao got cheap and behaved, looking at Chu Ziqian with an innocent face, but what he said made Chu Ziqian grit his teeth.

"Isn't it good to oppress the common people and be known by others?" Chu Ziqian's words reminded Lu Zhiyao of her identity.

"I just stuffed you with a big pie, how can it be considered a squeeze?" Lu Zhiyao pointed out the matter of the Gu family with a smile.

The words spoken by the two of them made the few people next to them confused, Lu Zhiyao stood up and motioned for the two girls to go home with her, and after taking a few steps, she heard Chu Ziqian's deep voice behind her.

"A few of them will come in the future, and they will be free."

The corners of Lu Zhiyao's mouth lifted in satisfaction, and when he walked out of the restaurant, the two maids around him felt embarrassed.

"Madam, isn't it okay for us to eat and drink like this?" Yudie looked at Lu Zhiyao and asked.

"There's nothing bad about it." Lu Zhiyao smiled indifferently: "He not only wants to invite us to dinner, but also gives us silver in the future." Don't underestimate the great cause of the Chu family, he is also the richest man, and the three of us alone can't eat him Chu Ziqian. ”

Lu Zhiyao is telling the truth, that's right, when they gave all the Gu family's business to Chu Ziqian, the two had already agreed that after the Gu family's income was deducted from the expenses for Li Yuzhen and others, the Chu family and the Eight Emperors' Mansion would be divided fifty-fifty.

Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and thought about how much silver he would receive at that time, and the two maids didn't bother her when they saw their master thinking about things happily.

The sudden flash of murderous aura made Lu Zhiyao's body instinctively choose to fight back, and before Wanyue and Yudie could react to what had happened, they were already pushed aside by Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao moved quickly and stepped back, and glanced at Ling Yi, who had been entangled and couldn't come over, Lu Zhiyao knew that the other party had already planned it.

The other party was not masked, but the unfamiliar faces also made it impossible for Lu Zhiyao to identify them. Why did Lu meet these people here, Lu Zhiyao thought about it for a while, and he could almost figure out the reason.

She doesn't have many opportunities to leave the house, even if she goes out to Lin Yinan at night, she will definitely arrange a master to accompany her. On weekdays, Lin Yinan is around her, and it is absolutely impossible for these people to attack the Eight Emperors' Mansion and hurt her. She originally thought that there would be no surprises in this broad daylight, but this time, the other party really surprised her.

The only thing Lu Zhiyao couldn't figure out was the identity of these two people. Sent by the Prince? They couldn't be so stupid as to think they could kill themselves here, could they?

It's not the first time that Wanyue and Yudie have encountered this kind of crisis, because they know that Lu Zhiyao is not the kind of person who is powerless, so they choose to keep themselves away from Lu Zhiyao while worrying about Lu Zhiyao, so as not to distract Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao once again faced the enemy who was attacking, and shouted at the two maids: "Go to the restaurant just now!" ”

There are only two people on the other side, as long as he and Ling Yi contain them, Wanyue and Yudie have a chance to get out. There is Chu Ziqian in the restaurant, although Chu Ziqian usually hangs his son, but he is still very reliable at the critical moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Yudie made up her mind to grab Wanyue's wrist and flee in the direction of the restaurant.

Lu Zhiyao didn't have any weapons on her, and in the face of the sharp sword in the enemy's hand, all she could do for the time being was dodge. The dangerous situation made Lu Zhiyao quickly adapt, and the gradually boiling blood in her body made her movements and senses more sensitive.

Ling Yi realized that these two people were not ordinary characters after fighting the enemy for a while, and he looked anxiously in the direction where Lu Zhiyao was, but he couldn't get over. In desperation, he could only choose to move the battlefield towards Lu Zhiyao, and at the same time increase his speed and strength, in order to get out of this predicament as soon as possible.

As time passed, the gap between Lu Zhiyao and his opponent also emerged. In addition, there is no self-defense weapon in hand, so it is even more passive. The sharp blade cut through her hair flying in the air, and the cold sword body landed under Lu Zhiyao's ear. The moment his skin was scratched, Lu Zhiyao suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

Not because of the wound on her neck, but because of her sudden rapid heartbeat, which almost made her breathless.

The whole body leaned back, and Lu Zhiyao breathed heavily to relieve his pain. Her strange appearance was also seen by the other party, looking at Lu Zhiyao, who was obviously a lot sluggish, and the other party immediately chose to catch her at this time.

A sudden force surged through her whole body when the strange man arrived in front of Lu Zhiyao and was about to control her. Trying to stabilize her breathing, Lu Zhiyao's whole body squatted, and when the man jumped in the air because of her leg sweep, she quickly rushed to the man's eyes, held his sword-holding wrist with her left hand, grabbed the man's hair with her hand, and directly pressed him to the ground with a brute force that the man did not expect at all.

The man was lying on the ground, and Lu Zhiyao could clearly see his tattoo at the junction of his shoulder and neck at the moment when his neck was twisted, which was also very strange and had not been seen.

The sharp pain in his head made the man realize his negligence, and the bloodthirsty light in Lu Zhiyao's eyes and the smile on the corner of his lips also made him extremely concerned.

"I actually like this kind of thing more than you do. But even if you want to kill me, you should be more restrained. If you really get your hands on it, where will I put the face of the Eight Emperors' Mansion? Lu Zhiyao half-squatted there, grabbed the man's throat with his right hand, and asked, "Who sent you?" ”

Lu Zhiyao's words did not get any answer, the man was still in a free position and kicked towards Lu Zhiyao, and then calmly got rid of Lu Zhiyao's clamps.
