Chapter 11: The Steward of the Gu Family

Leaving Eagle Valley and heading towards Danyang, a few hours later, he passed by Longshou Mountain again, but this time Lin Yuan not only did not plan to go to worship the mountain, but even tacitly bypassed the territory of the Longshou faction with Luo'er.

Longshou Mountain is not a solitary peak, the Longshou faction occupies the highest mountain and two adjacent peaks, but there are still some mountains scattered nearby, among which there are some other small sects, and the rest are ownerless.

Luo'er and Lin Yuan picked an ownerless road, and it is also a road in and out of the mountains that passers-by are used to, in the past, when walking on this road, they could often meet some martial arts people who flew high and low, but today this road is extremely deserted, so cold that even Zhang Yang noticed that something was wrong.

Lin Yuan looked at Luo'er inquiringly, and Luo'er shook his head: "There is no ambush!" ”

"Could it be that something happened?" Zhang Yangdong asked looking around.

Strange as it may be, Luo'er is not confident enough to change her course.

I walked forward for a while, until I crossed the mountain range and reached the southern slope, and there was no sign of people.

There is a mountain stream coming out of the mountain ridge in the south of Longshou Mountain, which is the birthplace of Ruoshui, if the water flows in the southeast direction, walking along the water's edge, it is the direction of the Tang Kingdom, and there is a road leading to the Chen Kingdom in the north mountain range.

And the mountain in front of me, starting from the turn to the south slope, more and more vigilant people, some of them with kung fu and weapons, and some of them trotted to deliver news.

Before the news was delivered, it was not known where the news was transmitted, and those with martial arts skills surrounded them vigilantly, and one of them said with an unkind face: "This place has been bought by the Yaoguang Shangguan family, outsiders, please take a detour!" As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Zhang Yang's violent temper, how could he stand such a naked threat, he was about to step forward with his fists at the moment, and Zhishu was busy holding him.

The other party saw that Zhang Yang was young and handsome, but he was just an irritable hairy boy, and raised his eyebrows provocatively.

At this time, Zhishu couldn't hold it anymore, and with a lunge, the big man with raised eyebrows was punched and flew out, only to hear the sound of people pressing the branches and leaves mixed with screams, and the people didn't know where they fell.

The rest of the big men saw that Zhang Yang's attack was amazing, as if facing a great enemy, they did not hesitate to put the knife in their hands, and many people near and far heard the sound, rushed over with their knives, and surrounded the thin four people.

Zhishu looked at Luo'er anxiously, and Luo'er gave her a reassuring look.

The Shangguan family has a lot of connections with Luo'er, since it is the mining point of the Shangguan family, talk well, there is no reason not to cooperate, and when you come up, you will provoke, Luo'er will not do it herself, but just release publicity, which is already giving Shangguan Ling face.

Zhang Yang took a breath before, and now he was fighting very heartily, and more than 20 big men were beaten by him so much that they didn't even touch the corners of the clothes of the other three.

"Stopβ€”" A shout came from not far away, and the big men retreated one after another, and Luo'er also shouted Zhang Yang, who was trying to take advantage of the victory.

A man dressed in a slightly decent stewardship trotted over.

The steward's sideburns were gray, and although his face was gloomy, he was quite kind when he saw them, so he first bowed, and apologized and explained in a good voice.

"The subordinates are rude, you Haihan! The slave surname is Gu, he is the steward of Yaoguang's Shangguan family, the mountains here are indeed the property of the Shangguan family, and the area here is full of mines, and it is usually inconvenient for outsiders to snoop on. Thank me! ”

"You're the head of the mine here?" Luo'er asked lightly.

The ancient steward nodded, very respectfully.

"Your surname is Gu?" Seeing that the Gu steward nodded, Luo'er asked again, "Could it be that you are the dowry steward of the first wife of the Shangguan family?" ”

The ancient steward glanced up at Luo'er in surprise, and was in a trance by Luo'er's appearance, and his tone of voice was a little weaker: "The girl has a relationship with the first lady?" ”

Luo'er shook her head: "That's not it, I just know your little lady!" ”

Referring to Shangguan Ling, the ancient steward brought a little pity on his face: "Listening to the girl's tone, I probably don't know yet, my little lady last June and after the ceremony, she set the Gu family's Qilangjun, this year's spring just passed the door, at the beginning of July, there was a pregnancy, I heard that now the Gu family is tightly controlled, if the girl has time to visit one or two, the lady will be happy!" ”

Luo'er laughed, I haven't seen her for more than a year, Shangguan Ling is already a wife and a mother, when she was in her mother's house, she was favored by her brother and sister-in-law, and she was married to her cousin who was a childhood sweetheart, and she became pregnant soon after marriage, so she must have lived an extremely sweet life.

Such a smooth life is really enviable, and it is really embarrassing to think that Zhishu is the same age as her, but the circumstances are very different.

"I haven't seen her for a long time, and when I said goodbye, I thought we would see her soon!" Luo'er said with a smile, remembering that spring, the temples were dyed with peach blossoms, the eyebrows were brocade, and the youth was romantic.

Suddenly, I also wanted to meet Shangguan Ling, in the past two years, a lot of people have died near and far, but fortunately, there are still people who are safe and happy.

Thinking of this, he said goodbye to the ancient steward gently.

The ancient steward watched Luo'er and the others leave with kindness, and his eyes inadvertently swept over the girl behind Luo'er, and he was suddenly shocked-

"Waitβ€”"

The ancient steward shouted.

Luo'er turned around in confusion, and saw that the ancient steward's face changed drastically and chased after him quickly, grabbing the Zhishu behind her.

As soon as Zhishu exclaimed, Zhang Yang slapped the hand of the ancient steward with raised eyebrows: "You old man who doesn't cultivate, what are you doing!" ”

"No, it's notβ€”" Steward Gu looked at Zhishu anxiously, "Y-Who are you?" As he spoke, a puzzled look appeared on his face.

"She's my handmaiden!" Luo'er explained, this ancient steward was still very polite just now, and there must be something strange about her sudden gaffe, "Does she have any problems?" ”

The Gu steward swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and his tone was still excited: "This girl's appearance is the same as that of the old lady of the Gu family when she was young, it is simply carved out of the same mold!" ”

This......

"It's not uncommon for people to be alike!" After Luo'er was surprised, she also felt that it was nothing.

Zhishu saw the excited appearance of the ancient steward, felt pity, and said softly: "The slave maid is fortunate to be somewhat similar to the ancient lady, but the slave maid is from a humble background, has her own family, and is a famous family of the Gu family, how dare the slave and maid cling to it?" ”

The reason is not unclear, the ancient steward shook his head lightly, and muttered: "It's too similar!" "Think about it or be unwilling," where is the girl from? ”

"Far South Dahuai Village, Panxi County!" After Zhishu answered, he also felt a little subtle, the daughter of the ancient family married into the Shangguan family, Yaoguang City, where the Shangguan family is located, is so close to the Far South, she is a peasant girl on the outskirts of the Far South, but she is similar to the mother of Mrs. Shangguan.

Such a coincidence is really suspicious.

"Zhishu-" Lin Yuan couldn't help but have doubts, "When you found your relatives, how did they treat you?" ”

Zhishu hesitated and said: "My family and I have been separated since childhood, and when we first met, we were naturally happy, but after all, the time we got along was too short, and we couldn't get close!" I don't know if it was influenced by the ancient steward at this moment, recalling the moment of the reunion, my father and mother seemed to be more surprised than happy.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, what does your family in the Far South look like?" Lin Yuan asked.

Zhishu hesitated even more, not to mention the acquired bearing, in terms of appearance, the family is also very ordinary, there are two elder brothers in the family, and the father is a mother with thin eyebrows and small eyes and square faces, which is the mother, and there is no resemblance to Zhishu.

I can't open my mouth, but everyone understands it.

is not similar to his parents and family, but like an outsider who has nothing to do with him, and it seems that the life experience of Zhishu is still up for debate.
