Chapter 716: Another Old Fox
Chu Nian's gaze fixed on that young face for a moment, and then turned his gaze away.
Speaking of which, these two brothers are really completely different......
Gu Shisan always has a lingering Jianghu aura on his body, he is like a free and easy knight, he can do whatever he wants alone, and even has a too lazy ruffian.
And Gu Jiuli is different, this person walks and sits with an inexplicable nobility, which makes people feel unattainable, but the smiling face is inexplicably approachable.
It's just that no one knows what kind of beast is hidden under this smiling mask.
When Chu Nian looked at Gu Jiuli, Gu Jiuli was also looking at her.
After a while, the two tacitly bent their eyes slightly and smiled.
"This is the unparalleled county lord of the world?"
"Mr. Gu, I have admired my name for a long time."
The compliments in unison made both of them dumbfounded, the atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Gu Shisan opened his mouth quickly, "You two are really hypocritical. ”
The two who were complained about did not feel embarrassed, they looked at each other and smiled again, Gu Jiuli said: "This is called tacit understanding, I sympathize with the county lord, and even have the same heart, how can I be so ugly by you stinky boy." ”
Gu Shisan snorted lightly, but without dismantling the stage again, Gu Jiuli nodded kindly towards Chu Nian, "County Lord, please take a seat, Wen Cha will come soon." ”
Chu Nian was not polite, she calmly sat down in the guest seat on the side, only to see Gu Jiuli speak: "Come on, serve tea." ”
Waiting for the warm tea to be served, Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes and put this fine jasmine tea into his mouth, and his eyes flashed slightly at Gu Shisan on the side.
Receiving Chu Nian's gaze, Gu Shisan turned his eyes to look at Gu Jiuli, and saw Gu Jiuli smile and said, "Earlier, they mixed some treasures from the Qinghe Branch, you go and count them." ”
Gu Shisan didn't refuse, only to see him get up, glanced at Chu Nian sideways and then at Gu Jiuli, "Brother, Miss Chu is my friend, don't hurt her." ”
"I've also heard of the martial arts of the Wushuang County Lord, but now is the time to compete with the Wushuang County Lord."
Chu Nian pretended not to hear the avoidance in Gu Jiuli's voice, and seeing that Gu Thirteen was about to have a seizure, she hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand.
"The Thirteenth Master should hurry up and get busy, don't you know who I am?"
Gu Shisan wrinkled his brows and glanced at Chu Nian, seeing the determination in Chu Nian's eyes, he sighed helplessly, turned around and walked out of the door.
When only Chu Nian and Gu Jiuli were left in the room, I saw Gu Jiuli take a sip of tea and said lightly: "After all, I can't wait for the gentleman on the beam, this shabby tea, I don't know if the county lord is satisfied?" ”
Chu Nian said with a smile: "Fresh jasmine fragrance is rare in this season, but the pavilion master still says that it is shabby, but I am afraid that the pavilion master is too humble and looks down on me." ”
"Eh, the county lord's words are wrong," he raised his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Nian meaningfully, "In front of a master like the county lord, I'm afraid it's not good to brag about myself." ”
Chu Nian smiled slightly, "The Pavilion Master is willing to show me his strength, and for me, I am flattered, but if the Pavilion Master has always been so humble, I don't know if I have the ability to bear the Pavilion Master's self-humility." ”
Gu Jiuli shook his head with a smile, and then said, "Then I'll get straight to the point." ”
"Actually, when my brother met the county lord on the street, I already knew that the county lord would come to see me, but I didn't expect it
The county lord came over so soon, I thought it would be at least a little late. ”
"No way." Chu Nian raised his eyes to the pair of eyes that seemed to be full of sincerity, and a chill flashed in his heart, but he still said calmly: "If it is a little later, I have not seen the true face of the pavilion master's Lushan, and the pavilion master has already found out my details." ”
"This is very bad for me, and it is also good for the entire Daliang Imperial Court, of course, it will not be good news for the Taxue Pavilion, the pavilion master said to see, if it falls into internal and external troubles again, which one should our Daliang Imperial Court deal with first?"
Gu Jiuli's face was the same as before, but an inexplicable cold aura lingered on him, and in the face of the inexplicable hostility coming from that side, Chu Nian only felt nothing, just drank tea silently, and after a while, she raised her head and faced Gu Jiuli's face that was always smiling.
"After all, the strength of the Treading Snow Pavilion is here, I really can't imagine that if the Treading Snow Pavilion joins the forces of Qinghe, then our defeat will be miserable."
Gu Jiuli's face seemed to be soothed a little, he bent his eyes slightly again, and looked at the tea cup in his hand with his head half-down, "It's the county lord who thinks too highly of us, with the strength of Da Liang now, even if we step on the Snow Pavilion and join Qinghe, we can't help you." ”
This Fang Chu Nian smiled and shook his head, but he didn't mean to talk, Gu Jiuli was too old and cunning, she originally thought that Gu Shisan was cunning enough, but now it seems that she still underestimates the existence of the Snow Pavilion, such a huge organization, if they continue to be entrenched between Da Liang and Qinghe, then Chu Nian is afraid that she will have to redefine this battle between her and Qinghe.
Maybe for Gu Jiuli and Taxue Pavilion, Qinghe's warehouse has come and gone freely, but there has been no news of the theft of treasures in the Daliang Treasury so far, either as Gu Thirteen said, the things in the Daliang Treasury Gu Jiuli don't look down on at all, or Gu Jiuli has no intention of invading the Daliang Treasury at all.
However, judging from the current situation, the former is more likely, after all, there is really nothing good in the Daliang treasury.
When you look back, you should ask Xichu Yueling if there is anything missing from the treasury of Western Chu.
"Then again." Gu Jiuli suddenly spoke: "As far as I know, the battle between the county lord and Qinghe has been going on for several days and months, I don't know what the county lord can do to deal with Qinghe now?" ”
Seeing Chu Nian's slightly puzzled gaze, Gu Jiuli chuckled slightly, and added: "I'm just a little curious, I want to know how to fight with Qinghe to avoid damage, just the few times I broke into the Qinghe branch hall, I lost more than a dozen fierce generals in the Snow Pavilion." ”
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, more than a dozen? Is this a disguised whirlwind? She took a deep breath of face, "I have only lost a dozen, the strength of your pavilion can really be said to be one of the best, now the record of the battle between me and Qinghe, presumably the pavilion master has already been clear, and I don't need to mention it here, but please don't be surprised by the pavilion master, I have always tried to confront Qinghe head-on, but Qinghe always likes to play tricks behind his back." ”
"There's no way, it's not okay if you don't play tricks, after all, it's the unparalleled county lord as the enemy, if it's me, although I'm reluctant to say so-called benevolence and morality, but in order to win over the county lord, that treacherous villain, I can't do it."
Chu Nian raised his eyes slightly, facing Gu Jiuli's eyes with a little smile, somehow, Chu Nian actually saw a little bit of Tao Jinyan's shadow from Gu Jiuli, you know, on weekdays, when Tao Jinyan wants to calculate whom, it is like laughing like this
's appearance makes people can't help but feel a chill down their spine, but they can't find any reason.
Lost his mind for a moment, Chu Nian took another deep breath, and then said lightly: "It is really an honor for the little girl to be so appreciated by the pavilion master. ”
The atmosphere fell silent again, Chu Nian thought about how to shake Gu Jiuli's attitude next, why Gu Jiuli didn't speak, only drank tea with a calm face, as if nothing had happened.
After a while, Chu Nian raised his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on the bookshelf behind Gu Jiuli, "That one...... But Mr. Lu Ming's book? ”
Gu Jiuli then looked back, and saw a conspicuous "Treasure Tongjian" on the bookshelf, this Fang smiled slightly, and turned his eyes and said: "Yes, after all, I can't wait for the gentleman on the beam, I always have to practice some treasure appreciation techniques, so as to avoid stolen useless things with effort, and Mr. Lu Ming has always had his own opinions on treasure appreciation, and I will read a little bit in my spare time." ”
Chu Nian nodded slightly, "Then since the pavilion master has also read Mr. Lu Ming's book, he must also know about the Beihai Mountain Pearl, which is highly respected by Mr. Lu Ming, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, sure enough, a slight light finally flashed in front of Gu Jiuli's eyes, "Beihai Mountain Pearl?" The only night pearl in the world? Born in Beihai, once born, it was sought after by various idlers, the one worth a thousand gold? ”
This Beihai mountain pearl, the good thing is that it is a little stranger than other night pearls.
The ordinary night pearl is either white or emerald green, but this Beihai mountain pearl actually exudes a purple light, and at first glance, it looks like a dragon ball.
But because it was found in the mountains and forests of Beihai when it was born, it got the name of "Mountain Pearl", but there are also rumors that this is a treasure left by the ancient dragon clan.
The famous old Mr. Lu Ming has touted this pearl many times in the book, which has attracted a lot of idlers to pursue it, but it disappeared inexplicably a few years ago.
But if Chu Nian is not mistaken, under the warehouse of the Su family's old mansion, there is still a purple night pearl hidden.
Seeing that Chu Nian didn't speak, Gu Jiuli seemed a little anxious, he opened his mouth slightly, and said tentatively: "Could it be that the county lord has news of this bead?" Can I share it with someone Gu? ”
Chu Nian raised his eyes slightly, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Gu Jiuli's originally not calm face suddenly calmed down a little, and he said with a light smile: "Don't misunderstand, county lord, I'm just too excited, after all, as a fan of Mr. Lu Ming's book, I am very curious about this Beihai mountain pearl, and I always want to see each other in my lifetime, and I will die without regrets." ”
Hearing this, Chu Nian smiled lightly and nodded.
"I don't dare to assert the treasury of Da Liang, but the warehouse in my Chu family's private courtyard, the pavilion master must not have gone in to browse it."
When these words fell, Gu Jiuli looked a little embarrassed, and he chuckled, "The county lord said that he laughed, where do I dare to break into the county lord's private house alone?" ”
Chu Nian raised his eyes and saw Gu Jiuli's increasingly indifferent face, a moment of clarity flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head and said, "It's a pity, if the pavilion master has been there, this mountain pearl will definitely become the bag of the Snow Stepping Pavilion." ”
Gu Jiuli tightened his brows, and saw Chu Nian continue to add firewood to the fire: "There are many private houses of my Chu family, and they are not only the manor outside the capital, besides, there are only a few servants to take care of that place, but where can anyone rest assured that the servants will look at the unique treasure in the world?" So ......"
She raised her eyes, and there was a little calculation written in them.
