Chapter 234: Follow the Flow
At this time, Gu Xing was angry in his heart, one was for the high-diving exhibition, and the other was for himself. He always felt that the appearance of the fifth disease was too coincidental, but it was Yu Tianfeng who made people believe it more. But what the fifth disease said, but he couldn't find the slightest fake, and the tears of the old man Wu Zhong probably couldn't be faked.
Then the key to uncovering the truth of the past is the words of the old man's family. That night on the edge of the cliff outside the bamboo garden, the old man seemed to be talking nonsense, but he told a lot of inside stories, but there were hidden words in these words, but Gu Xing fell into it.
At this time, the old man was lying in front of him, his eyes were full of remorse, which confirmed the words of the fifth disease at that time, but deepened Gu Xing's doubts.
The reason why the truth is the truth is that the closer you get, the more unreal it feels. But when you really uncover it, you will suddenly realize and sigh, I see.
But at this moment, Gao Chengying didn't want Gu Xing to reveal the truth, they just needed to let Gu Xing know who the person who helped him was.
Gao Yunzhong grabbed the tea cup next to him and smashed it towards the old man's house in the hall, he no longer had the self-cultivation he had just had, and his eyes were full of deliberately created anger. Although Gu Xing didn't look at it directly, this deliberate move seemed too contrived at this time.
"You have been dormant in the Gao family all these years, what are you talking about? Say it. Gao Yunzhong took the lead and was aggressive.
At this time, the old man's hands and feet were tied, his eyes were gloomy, and when he heard the words, he was stunned at first, and then he applied for grief, and then he thought of something, and became more and more manic. Gao Chengying got up and walked forward quickly, stepping on the old man's body, his lips moving slightly.
The old man read the threat from Gao Chengying's lips, and slowly calmed down from his mania.
Gao Yunzhong blurted out again, "Wu Zhong! Don't say it yet. ”
The old man's bloodshot eyes flowed with pale red tears, and he looked at Gu Xing full of pain. Gu Xing looked back indifferently, without the slightest pity in his eyes.
At this time, Gu Xing knew that if these two people were to perceive something, I was afraid that the life of the old man would be even more sad in the future, so it was better to directly cut off the thoughts in his heart, and maybe he could get a glimmer of life for him.
This move is not only to seek the truth, but also to seek peace of mind for the high-potential exhibition.
The old man's eyes dimmed again, and he roared in an almost hoarse voice: "To kill you!" In order to kill you, Gao Yunzhong, this brute! ”
Gao Yunzhong laughed instead of being angry when he heard this, "Okay! Very good! Finally to tell the truth. Wu Zhong, you betrayed Gu Yanxun treacherously back then, and now you want to continue to be the 'slave of the three surnames' and do such an intolerable thing? In vain, I handed over the hidden exhibition to you to take care of, it seems that it is really a tiger to raise. ”
The old man laughed bitterly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, just slowly curled up and closed his eyes.
Gao Yunzhong looked disdainful and continued: "Wu Zhong, Wu Zhong, your old young master is sitting in front of you now, don't you have any regrets about back then?" Or is it that Li Cunqiao promised you great benefits, and you are still obsessed with it? ”
After all, he still broke the layer of "window paper", Gu Xing got up when he heard this, and instead of looking at Gao Yunzhong, who told the "truth", he walked in front of the old man's house, slowly squatted down, raised his hand and pressed on the thin and withered body, and said indifferently: "Grandpa Wu, you have suffered." ”
Wu Zhong, who had closed his eyes and was silent, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this, and tried to look sideways at the swarthy young man, and a trace of gratitude suddenly appeared in his eyes, similar to a forgiven sinner, who can finally be freed.
However, the next moment, Gao Chengying kicked at the heart of the old man, and he curled up tightly again, like a young shrimp holding the tail, weak and helpless in front of natural enemies.
An old man in the twilight of his life, in the end, how can he not make people sigh and sigh.
Gao Yunzhong saw the hesitation in Gu Xing's eyes, and continued to "add fuel to the fire": "Gu boy, there is another big opportunity in front of you today, would you like to hear it?" ”
Gu Xing was deaf and pulled his head, a little decadent, until now, he was not a chess piece for all parties to fight for after all, no matter how hard he tried his best, it was just in vain. So what is the use of this "great opportunity" for him today?
Gu Xing, who was silent, still looked at the old man's purple face, not knowing what he was thinking. Gao Chengying took a step back with his arms around his chest, and the attendants standing on both sides immediately walked quickly to the hall and set up the old man's house.
Gu Xing was unexpected, and was about to stop it, but was interrupted by Gao Yunzhong's words, "Gu boy, I have repeatedly tolerated it, don't get an inch." ”
Gu Xing smiled proudly when he heard this: "After all, Grandpa Wu is also the old man of my Gu Mansion, and the head of the Gao family is inevitably overstepping his bounds, right?" ”
There was already an unconcealed resentment in his words, Gao Yunzhong didn't laugh angrily, "The old man of the Gu Mansion? The Gu Mansion has fallen, and the old man has fled, so you can ask him, when he did such a treacherous thing, will he remember where he came from? ”
Gu Xing was dumbfounded and silent.
Gao Chengying stepped forward and patted Gu Xing on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Different paths lead to the same end, my Gao family has always acted in a fair and upright manner, and capturing Wu Zhong is to show his heart." Besides, the person you want to kill is as high as a temple and unattainable, and a river and lake are far away, far beyond reach, and with your own strength, I am afraid that you will not be able to become one of them in your life. ”
Gao Yunzhong nodded and agreed: "Gu boy, if you nod, my Gao family will be your strong backing, and when the general trend is completed, I will clear up the grievances of the Gu Mansion." ”
Gu Xing's heart lake is like boiling water, and it can't be calmed down for a long time. I know that I can't do it, but I have to do it, at this moment, I can only continue the next plan by pretending to agree, otherwise, these two people will not let themselves leave alive.
As soon as he thought of this, Gu Xing's stiff body relaxed and nodded, "What does Uncle Gao want the kid to do?" ”
Gao Yunzhong's hands behind him were entangled, and he had already ordered the sword and axe hands in the shadows on both sides to wait for an opportunity to move. If Gu Xing does not comply, he will use thunderbolt methods without doing anything, and he can also use an excuse to kill him on the spot.
But this is a last resort after all, if Gu Xing agrees, then everything will be logical. Unexpectedly, Gu Xing knew the current affairs so well, and after weighing the pros and cons, he should accept it, and Gao Chengying was already overjoyed when he heard this.
You know, although she doesn't like to wake up, she has to accept it because of the high-diving exhibition. I thought I could only plan for the worst, but I didn't expect Gu Xing to take advantage of the situation, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing this, Gao Yunzhong forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and said loudly: "From now on, you are half of my Gao Yunzhong's son, and the grievances of the Gu Mansion will be borne by my Gao Mansion." You don't have to do anything now, just stay quietly in the high mansion and wait for the time to come. ”
Gu Xing nodded in agreement and said no more.
Gao Yunzhong was a little excited, and his hands behind him trembled uncontrollably, and when he immediately resolved it with action, he walked quickly to the hall and pressed on Gu Xing's shoulders, his smile was sincere, and his eyes were a little less fierce, and there was more love from the elders.
Xu felt a little abrupt, Gao Yunzhong put down his hand and coughed lightly, Gao Chengying immediately understood, clapped his hands, and a person walked in from outside the door quickly, looking at Gu Xing with a smile.
But when Gu Xing looked back, he couldn't believe his eyes. Jia Hongdao, the half-master who had been absent for a long time, leaned against the door frame outside the lobby, looking him up and down, looking so freehand.
The father and daughter of the Gao family didn't know that the two knew each other, Gao Chengying walked quickly between the two and hurriedly introduced: "Jia Hongdao, the only heir of the Jia family's gun in the world, have you heard of it?" ”
It was an old man meeting, but it was not a place of leisure, Jia Hongdao saw the scene in the hall, and immediately understood Gu Xing's situation, and pretended to be deep: "This is the person you asked me to protect?" ”
Gao Yunzhong obviously respected Jia Hongdao, and hurriedly smiled: "I'm tired of you, this child is a junior in my family, and he has caused some trouble, so he can only live in the mansion temporarily, and I will arrange it after the turmoil subsides." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's a trivial matter. It's just that after this incident, I and the Gao family are separated, and at that time, I will no longer participate in the affairs of your Gao family, do you understand? ”
"Naturally, I understand." Gao Yunzhong held his sense of proportion and posture, but there was a trace of imperceptible anger hidden in his eyes, which dissipated in an instant.
Jia Hongdao didn't hear it, pointed at Gu Xing and said with a big grin: "You are Gu boy, looking at how dark and not slipping, looking malnourished, come and come, follow the old man, and take you to make up for your body." ”
Gao Chengying intended to stop it, but Gao Yunzhong raised his hand to stop it, and the two watched Jia Hongdao walk out of the lobby with Gu Xing and disappear from sight. Gao Chengying waited for the two of them to walk away, and then turned around and snorted coldly: "See how long you are arrogant?" ”
Gao Yunzhong didn't care, the biggest obstacle at the moment has become help, so this trivial matter is irrelevant.
It's just that Gao Chengying is still a little uneasy, but Gao Yunzhong has no intention of continuing this topic, so he can only give up stupidly.
Gao Yun Zhongzhi was complacent, and after instructing Gao Chengying to pay close attention to Gu Xing's every move, he turned around and walked towards the backyard, not knowing which nephrite Wenxiang to find. Although Gao Chengying didn't like it, he didn't say anything.
And the knife and axe hand hidden in the dark of the lobby also quietly retreated with Gao Yunzhong's departure, as if it had never existed.
Gao Chengying walked out of the lobby slowly, looked at the sky and sighed softly: "Time flies." Unexpectedly, this statement was picked up, "The face is easy to age." ”
Gao Chengying was about to draw the knife, but suddenly put back the horizontal knife that had pushed out the scabbard, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "I don't know that Master is driving, I have missed the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”
"Gao Yunzhong upset you again?" The person who came also used a black robe to protect his whole body during the day, and he couldn't see his appearance, but judging from his voice, it should be an old man, but his breath was weak and he didn't look good.
Gao Chengying snorted coldly, "If Aya hadn't been in retreat at this time, how could he have allowed him to make waves?" ”
"The two of them are one and the same, but their styles are slightly different, but it doesn't hurt." The black-robed old man said indifferently.
"Then Master came this time, is there a new instruction from Wuliang City?" Gao Chengying was noncommittal, but asked.
"No, it's just that Lonely Whistling Heights has a new move, and we just take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters, wouldn't it be beautiful if we could take advantage of the fisherman?" The black-robed old man laughed as he spoke, but he didn't think about it and it was accompanied by a violent cough.
Gao Chengying frowned slightly, "Lonely Whistling Villa? ”
"Have you heard of the blood sacrifice in the rivers and lakes?" The black-robed old man gasped and asked rhetorically.
"Yes, but what does this have to do with our plans?" Gao Chengying was puzzled and then asked.
"Not only is it related, it has a lot to do with it, because it is rumored that the blood sacrifice to the rivers and lakes is a means of suppressing the rivers and lakes of Guxiao Villa, which seems to be aimed at the rivers and lakes, but in fact it is aimed at the temple, and the key to it is that Gu boy." The black-robed old man smiled sadly, as if he had picked up a great benefit.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid we'll need to slow down." Gao Chengying nodded and thought about it, raised his eyes and looked in the direction where Gu Xing left.
"It's okay, it's going on as usual, it's just that there are some means that need to be 'grafted'. Chengying, you go, keep an eye on Gao Yunzhong, if there is any abnormal movement, don't worry about killing. There was a blade in the old man's words, cutting through his skin, adding a bit of coldness to the early summer season.
