As the saying goes: blessing is the place of disaster; Woe to you, blessing lurks.

Regarding his granddaughter's encounter, Gu Dongshun had a very complicated mood.

Fortunately, people are okay and successfully survive the catastrophe, and that is the best.

Looking at the medicine bottle containing Xiu Yuan Dan, Gu Dongshun's heart slowly stabilized.

Nodding, Gu Dongshun instructed Gu Minghan: "Han'er, in the past few days, you and your eldest brother have taken a good look at the Gu family, and you don't give people with ulterior motives a chance to take advantage of it." I'm going to start the retreat, so you can go out with confidence. ”

After listening to his father's words, Gu Minghan naturally did not refuse, and after saluting his father, he left the secret room and restored all the prohibitions.

It's just that Gu Dongshun, who was in the secret room, held the medicine bottle, but he thought silently for a long time.

There are some things that have to be handled properly after he has successfully advanced.

……

On the other side, Gu Mingtao went to the City Lord's Mansion, because the Gu family's prestige was very good in Jingzhou City, and Gu Mingtao was the first choice for the next patriarch of the Gu family, and he met the city lord Huang Keyuan very smoothly.

At the beginning, Huang Keyuan thought that Gu Mingtao had something to ask for, so he would find the City Lord's Mansion.

But when Gu Mingtao took out the jade box containing the jade canopy grass and put it in front of him, Huang Keyuan, who was calm and calm, also pointed at the jade box in disbelief and widened his eyes.

Looking at the city lord's appearance, Gu Mingtao nodded and said, "City lord, this is the jade peng grass I was lucky enough to get, it has two hundred years, and it should be able to help Huang Dagongzi, so I sent it to the city lord as soon as possible." ”

The 200-year-old Yupeng grass is even better than the 100-year reward that Huang Keyuan has offered for medicine, and of course Huang Keyuan can't ask for it.

It's just that the value of two hundred years of jade Peng grass here is not easy to estimate.

What's more, this is still the elixir he desperately needs, not only the value of the jade Peng grass itself, but also the favor here, and it is also a large account.

If you don't believe in Gu Mingtao's character, I'm afraid that Huang Keyuan will have to weigh it carefully.

After lowering his eyes and being silent for a while, Huang Keyuan raised his eyes, looked at Gu Mingtao, and said, "Brother Gu Xian, this time, I really want to thank you." I have remembered all of your thoughts. In the future, if you need the help of the City Lord's Mansion, no matter what kind of request it is, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse. ”

To make such a guarantee, Huang Keyuan has also weighed it.

According to Gu Mingtao's character, he would not really want to ask him for favors, and even if he had, it would not be excessive.

But this does not mean that he can be ignored.

Taking out a small space storage bag from the storage ring, Huang Keyuan handed it to Gu Mingtao, and said without refusing: "Brother Gu Xian, this is the reward agreed on my reward, you take it first." ”

Then, Huang Keyuan took out another storage bag, also handed it to Gu Mingtao, and continued: "Brother Gu Xian, the jade canopy grass you brought this time is two hundred years, which is even more rare. The rewards mentioned in the bounty are far from sufficient. This is the compensation given, and you have taken it all. ”

Seeing Gu Mingtao waving his hand and wanting to refuse, Huang Keyuan shook his head and said, "Brother Gu Xian, this is originally the reward I should pay for obtaining Yupeng Grass as agreed in my reward, and you must accept this." Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to accept this jade grass. It's not that I don't believe you, but I must not accept such a treasure for nothing. ”

Only if the value is paid, it can be regarded as a preliminary fulfillment of this transaction, even if there is still a favor in it, but it will not be used to ask for more in the future.

No matter how much he trusted Gu Mingtao, Huang Keyuan would not put himself in a disadvantageous position.

After paying some spirit stone pills, he can still afford it.

After listening to the words of the city lord Huang Keyuan, Gu Mingtao was not a fool, of course he knew what he was afraid of.

Therefore, Gu Mingtao did not shirk any more, and generously put away the two storage bags.

Seeing Gu Mingtao's interest, Huang Keyuan was even more satisfied, so he added: "Brother Gu Xian, don't worry, I remember this favor of yours." What I said, it still holds. In the future, as long as you open your mouth, I will do my best to help. ”

Similarly, Gu Mingtao also believed in Huang Keyuan's character, and responded with a smile: "The city lord is serious. ”

But at this time, the entourage that followed Huang Zeyi hurriedly came to report, saying that the eldest prince's condition had recurred, and asked the city lord to hurry over and take a look.

As soon as he heard the news, where could Huang Keyuan still sit still?

Standing up, he wanted to rush there immediately, but when he saw Gu Mingtao again, Huang Keyuan had to pause first and apologize to Gu Mingtao: "Brother Gu Xian, I'm sorry." Yi'er, his condition is not good, I won't keep you more this time, please forgive me. ”

Of course, Gu Mingtao would not delay Huang Keyuan's time, and hurriedly responded: "City lord, take it easy, I will leave first." ”

When Huang Keyuan heard this, he also nodded to Gu Mingtao, picked up the jade box on the table, and hurried to Huang Zeyi's side.

Now, with Yupengcao, he can finally get the medical repair medicine specially invited by the house to treat Yi'er, and help his eldest son completely get rid of the fire poison.

……

Leaving from the City Lord's Mansion until returning to the Gu Mansion, Gu Mingtao was still worried about Huang Zeyi's situation.

I only hope that the jade Peng grass he took in the past can help and make this time the favor more smooth, and not because of a deviation, but a mortal enmity with the city lord's mansion.

Gu Panxi, who was about to go to dinner, noticed his father's preoccupied appearance at this time, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Could it be that there is a problem with Yupengcao, or is the communication with Huang Keyuan not going well?

Frowning his little brows, Gu Panxi greeted his father, took his father's hand, and let Gu Mingtao, who was distracted, finally come back to his senses.

Seeing his daughter's worried look, Gu Mingtao hurriedly put those worries aside.

Isn't what the City Lord's Mansion asks for in the bounty just Jade Peng Grass?

He has already provided the jade Peng grass to Huang Keyuan, and he can be regarded as doing his best.

If Huang Zeyi still can't bear it, then he should have a clear conscience.

Now that the matter is still being dealt with, the outcome is unknown, and he doesn't have to worry about it so much, but let his family worry about it.

Holding his daughter's little hand, Gu Mingtao gently rubbed his daughter's soft hair with his other hand, then smiled gently and said, "It's a pity, I was just thinking about things just now, don't worry." I went to the City Lord's Mansion just now, and I had a good conversation with the Yellow City Lord, so there should be no problem. ”

However, thinking of Huang Zeyi, Gu Mingtao unconsciously twisted his brows.
