Chapter 177: The First Move Defeated

Cen Li gently patted the little junior sister's back and comforted.

"You used to be happy every day, why are you so pessimistic at this time, and none of us will ask you to do anything, and no one will blame you, your skills are not the best? Good enough, you don't have to worry about that. ”

Cen Chan also said with a smile.

"I see, she didn't have this idea today, but she had it for a long time, I said, why does Gu Chao always talk about it. I wanted to know what happened to me before, but I was worried that we wouldn't want her. ”

Gu Hao lowered his head, his face flushed slightly.

"No, it's just that someone told me, I think what he said, many places are right, so I want to ask, otherwise I would have been recuperating in the mountains."

"Who said that?"

Cen Li and Cen Chan said in unison, they were surprised, who else in this world knew about this matter, didn't everyone who knew about it have already died in the chaos of that year?

In order to prevent them from going to the monk's trouble, Gu Chao said secretly.

"It was when I was in Qingcheng County, a person said that he was a servant of the Gu family in the past, and he escaped back then, and he thought that their second miss had escaped, but then he heard that the second miss drowned, and then he had been living in seclusion in a place, and I happened to meet him at that time, and he saw the jade lock around my neck, so he said that when he was in the house before, he saw this jade lock and said, I am their second miss, so I left such a question."

Hearing this, Cen Chan and Cen Li both breathed a sigh of relief, although he seemed to know a little about the previous events, but he actually said that it was like this, which means that he didn't know the real truth.

Because it was Cen Li back then, he watched General Gu hand over this jade lock to Gu Chao, it was impossible for Gu Chao to wear this jade lock in the past, it was given to his daughter before General Gu died, so how could he have seen this jade lock in the scary Gu family?

"Then he is very wrong, according to legend, the jade lock is not the Gu family's thing, but the Gu family's lady's family heirloom, that thing is now simply outside the outside, no one knows where it is, it is impossible for Miss Gu Er to wear this jade lock in Kyoto."

Cen Li explained.

"But since it is Mrs. Gu's maiden family, it is the second young lady's maternal grandfather's house, can't such a good thing be handed over to her granddaughter?"

Gu Chao asked.

"It stands to reason that Miss is not a granddaughter, but a granddaughter, their mother's family, and there are also men, how can they give the heirlooms to their granddaughter?"

"But just now the senior brother said again, if you are living outside, since you have an inherited man, why are you living outside?"

Cen Li's heart sank, and his heart said that he had leaked his mouth, so he hurriedly made up for it.

"Mrs. Gu's maiden family is very mysterious, and it is said that their new heir is disdainful of it, so no one knows whether to stay in the family or stay outside."

"Senior brother, did you go out this time to find this jade lock?"

Gu Chao asked casually, and Cen Li asked nervously.

"I'm so decent, what are you looking for their stuff for? Naturally, there are other things, but it's hard to tell you now, and you'll know later. ”

"Alright then, in that case, I'll go back first."

"Well, the wind is strong in the early morning, and I get the wind chill carefully, which aggravates the condition, you hurry back to the room and rest well, although your senior brother has been going for a long time this time, if he completes the task ahead of schedule, he will come back soon, when I am free, I will also go up to see you, Yuqin will go every day, Chang Yu that kid, will probably follow, so you don't have to be too anxious, when you are well, you can come down."

Yes, you don't have to wait for the injuries on your body to heal, because at that time, the senior brother has already gone out.

There is no need to be afraid that he will see his wounds, as long as the epidemic on his body is healed, he can go home, thinking of this, Gu Chao was happy again.

After saying goodbye to his father and brother, Gu Chao walked back alone, and the senior brother said that he wanted to send her, but Gu Chao refused.

Because Gu Chao was also afraid that if he had any wounds that oozeled blood again, he would be discovered by his senior brother.

When he returned to the temple in the back mountain, the first thing Gu Chao did was to find the monk.

The monk seemed to already know that Gu Chao would come to him, so he waited at the door of Gu Chao's meditation room, Gu Chao rushed up and asked.

"I know, you lied to me, my brother said, the jade lock, people have never brought it in the Gu family at all, it is someone's mother, the things of the grandfather's family, it is the heirloom of the grandfather's family, what else do you say, when I saw the jade lock, I thought that I am Miss Gu Er, I see you, you are not a servant of Miss Gu's family at all, right?"

The monk was not in a hurry, and said without humility or arrogance.

"Looks like you're going to ask anyway."

"Didn't you just want me to ask this when you told me? Did you want to know something from me, so you tempted me to ask, for example, now, you can know that the jade lock is something from his grandfather's house, right? ”

Before the monk could explain, the girl suddenly frowned and said very suspiciously.

"Are you hiding here for so long for fear of being chased and killed?"

The monk had already prepared a reason to continue to lead Gu Chao away, but Gu Chao suddenly asked such a question, which made his heart tremble.

Mama is right, she did tell her too much, although she only knew a little bit about what she wanted to know, but it was too easy to expose herself.

After all, this move was too dangerous, and he should have thought that it was impossible for the pavilion master to admit it so easily.

In fact, he couldn't be sure that the girl in front of him was Miss Gu Er, but her background was really unusual, so the monk always felt that she should have something to do.

Could it be that I have been getting the wrong direction? Could it be that Miss Gu Er really drowned in the river on the outskirts of Beijing during the pursuit that year?

If this is the case, why didn't the Doro family avenge their daughters, sons-in-law, and granddaughters, was it because they didn't dare?

Yes, I've never heard of the legends of the Doro family, and I've never seen their true strength, no matter how powerful they are, they can't compete with His Majesty in Kyoto.

Otherwise, why didn't they start a rebellion long ago, enter the Central Plains themselves, and become this majesty?

The monk turned the Buddha beads in his hand, and the biggest problem now was to answer Gu Chao's question.

"I am indeed a descendant of the Gu family, but I am indeed testing you, and I am indeed deliberately asking you to ask the old pavilion master."

Gu Hao smiled lightly.

"That's it? So, did you make up a new reason? I advise you, don't be on me, and then have any other ideas, it won't be long before I go back, I will go back, and when I go back, I won't have any intersection with you, since you have lived here for so many years, then continue to live, don't think about anything else, otherwise, I won't let you go. ”

This is the first time Gu Chao has spoken harshly to others, and this is also the time she has guarded against and grown up with others after she went to Qingcheng County.

The monk lowered his head and did not continue to speak, obviously he had underestimated the girl.
