The powerful gathered, and the land was more expensive than the gold on Tianbo Street, which was still prosperous.

The ups and downs of the Huan Sea, who dares to say that he can always be prosperous and prosperous, but even if there are many people who move in and out here every year, they still do not change the eternal pursuit of outsiders to live here, or for the word fame and fortune.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.

It's just that the original guest who came and went here was the most, and he was the most envied by others, hoping that he would one day have such a situation, but now it is a crowd of birds, and it is almost lifeless.

Although the master is gone, the people inside actually didn't move out immediately, the first is of course because they are unwilling to leave, the second is because Gu Cang Yuwei is still there, even if they only look at a little bit of human affection, it is impossible for the court to drive them away so ruthlessly and vacate the house, and the third is because this is also the headquarters of the two yamen of Tianluo and Diwang, which is considered the office of the imperial court, so it is reasonable, they don't have to leave in such a hurry.

It's just that the owner of the mansion suddenly died outside, which has a great impact on them, and the backer is gone, so they are more and more low-key, and in these days, except for the routine vegetable carts and dung trucks entering and exiting at night, the people inside have basically never come out.

Look at the season, now it is almost winter, this night always comes earlier than usual, just after half of the unitary hour, the sky is almost dark, every house on Tianbo Street, the door is hung with lanterns for lighting, only here, empty, deserted, not even the most basic gatehouse.

Gu Xuan stood alone at the gate of this silent mansion, and next to him, in the Zuo family's mansion, which was only a few steps away, the lively atmosphere could be vaguely heard.

He quietly looked at the top of his head, the "Prince's Mansion" plaque that had not yet been taken off, there was a circle of hot tears rolling in his eyes, but he did not cry, but silently brushed away the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and then raised his hands above his head, reaching the ground for a long time, and then his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground like this.

After meticulously bowing to the plaque, he slowly stood up, bent down again, gently dusted off the dirt from his body, and then walked inside.

It's just that he had just walked past the stone lions placed on both sides of the door to ward off evil spirits, and someone immediately appeared from the dark place, and they first bowed to him in a regular manner, and then lowered their heads and said in a muffled voice: "My lord's forgiveness, the slave has the courage to say to my lord, outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit here for the time being, please go back." ”

When Gu Xuan heard this, he explained very gently: "It was the second brother who asked me to come, I am not an outsider, can you lead the way on my behalf?"

As soon as the man heard this, he immediately raised his head, he was also a member of Tianluo, and he handled countless pieces of information every day, of course he recognized Gu Xuan, but then he hesitated a little, because according to the orders of the adult in the mansion, although he was not his direct boss, he had such a high status that he was almost equal to him, outsiders were never allowed to enter and leave at will here.

However, then again, the person in front of him is indeed not an outsider, not to mention the relationship between him and his own master before his death, the people in this house basically know a thing or two, so whether they come here this time to take a look or come here to condole, they don't seem to have a reason to stop each other.

Besides, they are not the real owners of this mansion, so naturally they have no right to stop the visiting guests, besides, this is the capital, it is the place where they take care of their family, why should he stop the other party?

Just when he was in a dilemma and didn't know which side to offend, a person suddenly came out of the fight, none other than one of Gu Cang's two personal maids, and his real identity was Xiaolu girl from the leader of the earth net, Da Yingzang.

Her expression was extremely cold, just like a cold winter wind, out of thin air between the two sides, casting an insurmountable ice wall, as soon as she came out, she didn't say a word, she directly raised her hand, made a gesture to send out, and said coldly: "Lord, this is an important place in the imperial court, if you want to come in, you must get His Majesty's hand." ”

The net of heaven and earth, like the mayfly of the country, Wutong Garden, etc., is a yamen where spies and assassins stay, this has always been the forbidden place of the emperors of the past dynasties, it is a fast knife that hides in the shadows, and at the same time is directly held in the hands of the emperor, and it is a person who specializes in handling dirty work for the Son of Heaven, and it is impossible for outsiders to easily get involved, so this sentence actually has a little bit of truth.

Gu Xuan knew in his heart that this Xiaolu maid had always held her own identity and had never liked herself, but in her heart, considering that the other party was also overly sad because of Gu Cang's sudden death, she didn't choose to worry more about the other party, but directly took out the token that Gu Cang gave him before, and said loudly: "Girl Mingjian, this is indeed the second brother who asked me to come." ”

Xiaolu looked at it, and immediately recognized what it was, it was the highest token that could command them to order the two yamen of the Heaven and Earth Net, and an inexplicable light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and then her face changed, as if she had made up her mind, and said softly: "Where did you steal this thing from?

After that, she actually dodged and left the spot in an instant, so she was going to grab it herself.

The underground network specializes in assassination, and those who are suspended in the yamen are all elite assassins, and killing people and taking the head is their specialty, and as the leader of the underground network, even if there is a reason for Gu Cang's deliberate promotion, Xiaolu's skills are naturally not far behind.

Moreover, Gu Cang went in and out of the mansion on weekdays, and he had never seen him have any personal guards, only the two girls of Ning Shuang Xiaolu accompanied him all the year round, in addition to the most basic duties of maids, these two people must also be responsible for protecting Gu Cang's personal safety, so Xiaolu's shot is a domineering style, and extremely skilled in grappling.

Xiaolu's body is extremely fast, and the claw shadow is full, like a gust of wind around her, and all the beckons are greeted at the joints of the vein.

She obviously knew very well that Gu Xuan had a good martial arts foundation, so she didn't show mercy to his subordinates because of his status as a prince.

In fact, it is difficult to say what she thinks in her heart, there may be a factor of disgust for Gu Xuan, and there is also because Gu Cang died unexpectedly, and she does not accept that his remains will fall into the hands of outsiders, but the most important thing is actually her own reasons.

Gu Cang is now dead, this is an exact thing, it can't be changed, the backer has fallen, what is the point of these two of them relying on him to have today's personal maids, is it possible that they can continue to maintain their current status, not to bury them with them is already a kind of extrajudicial kindness, but there are still many people who covet their current status and themselves, there are many people in this world.

No matter what Ning Shuang thinks, she Xiaolu must make a plan for her future, of course, taking refuge in Gu Xuan is certainly a good way out, after all, she has already pondered many things, and knows that the master has always wanted to cultivate this younger brother, but her temperament has always been arrogant, and she has never treated herself as a person, and she is not willing to bet on Gu Xuan so easily, and at the same time she is very disgusted to accept his leadership.

In addition, there are many people who have looked for her in private, and they want to give her another way out, and there are also those who want to make her tempted, and if they want to regain the token at this moment, they naturally have another purpose.

However, she still underestimated Gu Xuan in the end, as soon as she made a move, Gu Xuan had already retreated in an instant, stepping on the seven stars under her feet, her body was chic, and she was not caught by her, seeing that she had already given the other party steps, but the other party was still unrelenting, even if the clay man had three points of anger, and if it weren't for Gu Cang's face, how could he allow a subordinate to be so presumptuous.

Thinking of teaching her a lesson, Gu Xuan pressed the idea of not causing trouble, did not retreat but advanced, and with a mistake under his feet, a stiff and soft shoulder bump suddenly hit her shoulder socket, and with a little force, half of Xiaolu's body was numb, and he couldn't lift his hands at all, and the next moment, he was cut back by Gu Xuan's hands and firmly grasped.

Even if she had been caught by the other party, she still didn't want to give up, she was ruthless in her heart, a vicious flirtatious leg, but Gu Xuan was the first to point at her knee socket, the latter snorted lightly, and immediately fell to the ground, unable to move.

"Stop!"

At this moment, there was another anxious cry from the house, and then I saw a woman dressed in white, with a face full of sadness and eagerness, and suddenly jumped out of it.

Xiaolu fell to her knees, her pulse was blocked by Gu Xuan again, her body couldn't move, and in a hurry, she could only shout anxiously: "Sister, save me!"

Gu Xuan was vigilant, and was about to directly remove the woman's joints and fight with the frost that ran out, but saw that the other party knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and then begged in a low voice: "Lord Wang, please let Xiaolu go, the slave knows that the following is a big crime, but Xiaolu She is also overly sad and in a hurry, you can do it, for the sake of the master's face, let her go." ”

Ning Shuang is a very knowledgeable person about current affairs, although at the night banquet of the original Wenhui, Xiaolu was also disrespectful and offended Gu Xuan, but at that time she was on Xiaolu's side, but later she became clear about Gu Xuan's status in Gu Cang's heart, and the current situation was stronger than others, so she had to take the initiative to kneel down and beg for mercy.

This is the capital, they have now lost the biggest backer in this life, if they commit another crime and offend Gu Xuan, no matter how big the southern land is, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to have a place to stay, she knows that Gu Xuan is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, so kneeling and begging for mercy like this will inevitably make the other party embarrassed to pursue it again.

Sure enough, Gu Xuan only stared at the other party for a moment, then let go of his hand, Xiaolu under him was sour and numb, and wanted to entangle again, but he couldn't help but lift his strength, and in a blink of an eye, he was secretly held by the condensation frost who stood up next to him, and forcibly pulled it aside.

"Lord Wang, there are a lot of them, and the frost will compensate you again. ”

Gu Xuan remembered Gu Cang's instructions to himself before his death, waved his hand helplessly, and then said: "That's it, that's it, you are all the old people of the second brother, I think it is caused by the depression, this king naturally does not care, but this king has to remind you, this is the capital, nothing can bypass a rule and etiquette, of course this king can let you go today, but others may not be so generous in the future, now this king wants to go in, do you still want to stop it?"

Xiaolu was annoyed in her heart, but her face had to make an eager look, and she whispered to Ning Shuang: "Sister, no!

She is now more and more disgusted with Gu Xuan, in fact, many times this is the case, no matter how good the other party is, but some people just don't like it, and even hate it, this is all born to not deal with it, plus some factors the day after tomorrow, she lost a big face just now, plus her sister didn't stand on her side this time, and her tone was actually a little resentful.

Ning Shuang hurriedly pulled the other party's sleeve, and saluted Gu Xuan respectfully, and then said in a mournful voice: "Lord Wang, what you said is very right, the relationship between you and your master, the slave and maid are clear, this will lead the way for you, and I will never dare to stop you again." ”

Turning her head, she immediately scolded Xiaolu again: "Xiaolu, don't be rude to the prince anymore!

She knew that if she rashly offended Gu Xuan, who was gaining momentum at the moment, it would definitely not be a good thing for the two sisters, so these were helpless moves, and she only hoped that Xiaolu would understand her hard work as a sister, and the current prince's mansion was really not the big backer who could make them domineering back then.

For these two maids, Gu Xuan also had a real headache, he couldn't kill them, and it was impossible to take the initiative to put down his body and befriend them, so he could only ignore the two of them, flick his sleeves, and just step in.

Even if there is a tiger's den in Longtan in front of him, he is not afraid, not to mention that this is the mansion of his second brother Gu Cang, and this is the capital of Daliang, but he doesn't believe that these two people will be bold enough to attack themselves here.
