When Cheng Guzhi came, countless Cheng family members gathered outside the living room, and everyone looked frightened, as if they were about to be in trouble.

Cheng Lan'er was caught in the crowd, her little face was very pale, she saw a different Huayan from the Huajia in Lin'an, and she also saw the ruthless Su Ziqi in the rumored center, Huayan didn't seem to see her, but she felt that she was very scary.

When she went to Lin'an more than two months ago, she was very arrogant as the noble daughter of the Cheng family, and later met Huayan, suffered setbacks, and also learned a lesson, understood a lot of things, no longer blindfolded, and when she felt and looked at things around her with her heart, she gradually discovered that what the Cheng family did was wrong.

The Heilong River burst its banks, the people suffered, and the Cheng family had food, but they did not help.

This is the first time she has known the Cheng family in which she lives since she was a child, she once asked her mother in private, but her mother sternly told her to stop talking, and told him not to mention this matter again, and she realized after that the Cheng family was doing something illegal that did not care about the lives of the people.

She began to be restless from then on, and her uneasiness grew as the days of the day went by like water. But that day, after seeing Cheng Gu, who came back from Fengcheng and locked herself in the house for three days, her uneasiness was gently soothed by his words, and she was not so afraid.

But today, she found that fear and trepidation had returned, and she was terrified and horrified in the face of such a shock.

She didn't expect that it was Huayan who came to the Northland, shouldn't she be married in Lin'an?

Cheng Lan'er saw Cheng Guzhi who was pacing slowly in a panic, as if she had found the backbone of the heart all of a sudden, pushed away the crowd, rushed over to him, grabbed his sleeve tightly, and shouted in a trembling voice, "Second brother." ”

Cheng Guzhi's footsteps stopped, looking at Cheng Lan'er, she was dressed thinly, obviously she came in a hurry after hearing that something had happened, she was a little nervous in the cold wind of late autumn, I don't know if it was cold, or afraid, he raised his eyes to see other people, whether they were older or younger, they all looked like this, and some people had already cried silently, even more afraid than her.

He raised his hand, patted Cheng Guzhi's shoulder gently, and said calmly, "Remember what the second brother told you, right?" ”

Cheng Lan'er remembered what Cheng Guzhi said that day and nodded.

Cheng Guzhi smiled faintly, his smile was fleeting, "Just remember, don't be afraid." ”

Cheng Lan'er's tears welled up all of a sudden, her face was tight, and she said with her greatest ability and restraint, "Second brother, I'm ...... Unafraid. ”

"Good." Cheng Guzhi nodded, "I'll go in and take a look." ”

Cheng Lan'er let go of the sleeves that were clutching him tightly and whispered, "It's a flower...... It's the crown princess and Su Ziqi, and there are people I don't know. ”

"Hmm." Cheng Guzhi nodded, he knew it, he had just seen it in the distance, when he was in Fengcheng earlier, he only saw Hua Yan and the Five Princes, but not Su Ziqi. Presumably he came to Bei'an City in advance at that time.

Cheng Guzhi stepped into the threshold, and saw that everyone in the house was present, Hua Yan, Su Ziqi, the Five Princes, An Sixteen, and the Cheng family had Cheng Xiang, Cheng Yao, and several elders and uncles of the Cheng family, but they all had panic that they couldn't hide.

As he stepped through the threshold, the conversation in the room stopped and looked at him.

Cheng Xiang wanted to see Cheng Guzhi earlier, and what he wanted to tell him was to let him find a way to escape, but he didn't see him, and when he waited for him, now he not only didn't escape, but appeared here, he suddenly asked, "Brother Gu, why are you here?" ”

Cheng Guzhi saw the meaning in Cheng Xiang's eyes, and he whispered, "I heard that the crown princess and the prince came to Cheng's house as guests, so I'll come and take a look." ”

Cheng Xiang shook the corners of his mouth, wanting to say that he was not a guest, but he knew that Cheng Guzhi was smart and should have known it a long time ago, so he stopped talking, and deeply felt that if everyone in the Cheng family folded at home today, I was afraid that the Cheng family would have no hope.

Cheng Yao used to reprimand Cheng Guzhi, because his son was more courageous than Lao Tzu, he was always praised by Cheng Xiang, and even often used his son to teach him, he had been holding his breath in his heart, so every time he saw Cheng Guzhi, most of them reprimanded him, and made up for the faceless things that were reprimanded by Cheng Xiang from him, and at the same time used it as a father's shelf.

But now, he thinks the same as Cheng Xiang, thinking that Cheng Guzhi was smart in the past, why is he stupid today, what are you doing here? didn't want to find a way to escape quickly, in such a situation, he still went to Hua Yan and Su Zi to cut him, wasn't he looking for death?

Cheng Guzhi didn't seem to see Cheng Xiang and Cheng Yao's thoughts, and stepped forward to salute Su Zi, Hua Yan, and the Five Princes.

Only then did Cheng Xiang and Cheng Yao know that the young man with the good face was the Fifth Prince, and they didn't know when he would come to the Northland.

For the brothers of His Royal Highness the Prince, the Manchu Dynasty, the civil and military forces, and even the people of the world, seem to have ignored them. In their consciousness, they were all abused by the emperor, and the emperor did not compete with the crown prince Yunchi for the sake of these heirs, so he deliberately raised them in his pocket, and gave birth to them just to strengthen the thin royal descendants.

Therefore, suddenly knowing that this person was the Fifth Prince, Cheng Xiang and Cheng Yao both felt a little ridiculous at that moment, what did the Five Princes do? The prince who has no ability to follow him to the Northland to watch the lively play?

Hua Yan saw Cheng Guzhi and smiled lightly, "Sit down!" ”

Su Ziqi saw Cheng Guzhi, and his face was rarely gentle, if there was no advance report from Cheng Guzhi, the dark line of the Hua family would be more or less damaged, and the matter of purging the northern land would definitely not be as smooth as today.

After all, they were in the top ten families, when the elite secret guards were completely unprepared and did not receive the slightest rumor, they quickly slashed the chaos and made a bloody attack. If the elite secret guards of the top ten families had already found out the dark line of the Hua family and worked together to eradicate it, they would face it hard, and this battle would definitely not be a one-sided crushing argument to win or lose, and now the bloody rain and bloody wind are estimated to permeate the entire Bei'an City, and there will be many more dead.

Therefore, he still admires Cheng Guzhi very much, and it is not easy to do this step. After all, he is different from Cheng Zixiao, and he is also different from other sons in the top ten families, his sister-in-law is favored and valued in the Cheng family, and his feelings for the Cheng family are naturally extraordinary.

Cheng Guzhi sat down.

Hua Yan picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea with her own hands and handed it to Cai Qing, "Serve it to the second son." ”

Cai Qing should be, and immediately handed the tea to Cheng Guzhi.

Cheng Guzhi stretched out his hand and took it, "Thank you, Crown Princess." ”

Hua Yan smiled, "Second son is polite, I'm just borrowing your family's tea to borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Cheng Guzhi held the hot tea, which made his cold heart seem to be warm, and he said sincerely, "Thank you to the princess no matter what." ”

Hua Yan knew the meaning behind his thanks, smiled, was no longer polite, and calmly accepted his thanks.

Cheng Xiang and Cheng Yao were surprised in their hearts, they didn't expect Cheng Guzhi to be so face-saving and courteous in front of Hua Yan, which was very different from when facing them, their panicked hearts seemed to have found a node at this time, and they speculated for a while.

Cheng Guzhi drank two sips of tea, and didn't know what to say for a while, but now that the Cheng family has arrived at this step, the bright and dark things have been put on the table, Hua Yan has already told him the result, and it is useless to say more.

Hua Yan stopped talking, and for a while, the needle drop could be heard in the living room.

After a while, Cheng Xiang was about to speak, Cheng Zi smiled and walked in with a big iron box, and when he saw the big black iron box, Cheng Xiang's slightly better face turned gray again.

Cheng Yao couldn't sit still any longer, and rushed over with a smile at Cheng Zi, "You rebel!" ”

Before he got close to Cheng Zixiao, Qing Soul stopped in front of him with a sword, looking at him coldly, the sword was cold, and the blade was a little cold, with a very murderous aura.

Cheng Yao suddenly took a step back.

Cheng Zixiao smiled mockingly, as if he was too lazy to talk to Cheng Yao, holding the big black iron box, walked in front of Su Ziqi, and handed him the big iron box.

Su Zi stretched out his hand to take it, checked it, and the big iron box pressed his hand, if it was an ordinary weak scholar, he might not be able to move it, he smiled at Cheng Zi, "It's hard work." ”

Cheng Zixiao curled his lips, "Hard work is nothing, just help me with a few kind words in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands my heart to serve the court." ”

Su Ziqi smiled, "It is indeed time to say a few kind words." As the words fell, he knocked on the lock on the box, "Open." ”

Cheng Zixiao shrugged, "This lock is specially made, after I dropped the lock, just in case, I threw the key into the lake in the backyard." It's late autumn now, and although the lake hasn't frozen yet, it's still bitterly cold. ”

Su Zi raised his eyebrows.

Cheng Zixiao explained, "This thing is hidden, I am afraid of being discovered, and I am not insured with the key, for fear of accidentally falling out or being searched out, so I simply put the box and the key in two places." ”

Su Zi nodded and instructed the green soul, "Go to the lake in the backyard......"

"No, I'll do it." Hua Yan turned her head with a smile, pulled out a hairpin from the top of her head, leaned over, snatched the big iron box in Su Zi's hand, and fiddled with the keyhole for a while, and said at the same time, "This lock is indeed exquisite, is it from the hand of Zhang Qiaojiang?" ”

"Exactly." Cheng Zi smiled, "Sure enough, the crown princess is well-informed and knows everything." ”

Hua Yan accepted this compliment, her wrist flicked, the hairpin was gently hooked, and she only heard the sound of "click", and the lock was opened.
