[42] Heartstrings
Gu Xi hurriedly returned to the backyard of the Gu family, his face extremely gloomy.
"Lu Qing!"
shouted outside, Lu Qing, the housekeeper of the Gu family, bowed and walked into the backyard house.
"Let the clan send a few good hands to go to the Fu Tower to bring the eldest young master back!"
Gu Xici rubbed his eyebrows and said to Lu Qing.
"It's-"
Lu Qing hesitated.
"What, you don't listen to me?" Gu Xici's voice increased, obviously a little angry.
"No, the old man thinks that it is quite unwise to have such a rash conflict with the Fu Tower!" Lu Qing did not have a trace of emotion on his face, obviously he also knew about Gu An's matter.
After all, Lu Qing, as the chief housekeeper of the Gu family, has great authority, and he also has some strength, Lu Qing just didn't want to listen to the quarrel in the council hall just now, and basically listened to it.
Gu Xici didn't blame Lu Qing, and it didn't hurt for him to know about it. He had wanted to discuss with him about Gu An.
"Go on!"
Gu Xici was angry just now, but at this time, Lu Qing pointed out the key point, and suddenly the whole person came to his senses.
"The second master's temperament is very clear, and if he sends someone to rob him like this, he will definitely be the first to stand up and oppose you, the head of the family......" Gu Qing said, looking up at Gu Xici's face.
"This bastard thing, eat inside and out. No wonder the old man doesn't want to see him, if it weren't for the fact that he still has some use value in the Fu Tower, I must have tied him up and sent him home!"
Gu Xici's eyelids twitched, his hand pinched the armrest of the seat, and his muscles burst out.
"The master doesn't need to be angry, the second master still protects the interests of this family, and his starting point is a little too extreme. Besides, it's time for the eldest young master to go out and practice!"
"That can't send him to Heavenly Hell, what kind of place is that, a burial ground that eats people and doesn't spit out bones!"
Lu Qing squinted, walked to Gu Xici's side and whispered: "We can do this, first say hello to the Heavenly Prison to ensure that the eldest young master has no worries about food and clothing, and then the Fu Xiu sent by the Fu Tower to protect him will also take care of it, so that there should be no mistakes in the protection of the eldest young master!"
Gu Xici couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and his face recovered a little.
"Then the good hands sent by our clan are in the dark, protecting the safety of the eldest young master at any time......"
"Well, it's up to you to do this!"
Gu Xici glanced at Lu Qing approvingly, and then said, "Lu Guang, this little guy is almost twenty, right?"
"Just after the nineteenth birthday!"
Lu Qing's heart moved, but his face was still the same respectful expression.
"Twenty years of cultivation is not too late. ”
Gu Xici looked at Lu Qing deeply, "Tomorrow morning, I will talk to the steward of the cultivation hall, let Lu Guang's kid go there, and learn a trick and a half with those Fu Xiu, and he can also ......be by his side in the future."
After hearing this, Lu Qing's old face turned red all of a sudden, and he arched his body excitedly, and said with a little trembling: "Thank you...... The head of the house!"
"Thank you for what I'm doing, you've worked hard for the Gu family all your life, you don't want your kid to be the same as you, I can't bear it, okay, get up, it's not a big deal!"
Gu Xici waved his hand, and a smile flashed in his eyes. The way of the royal family, one by one, the Gu family has to rely on these people to support it, not by themselves!
"By the way, Lu Guang, this kid hasn't seen anyone else recently, I have something I need him to do now!"
Gu Xici suddenly remembered something.
Lu Qing hurriedly replied: "Master, that's the case. The old lady has been unwell recently, and he has lost his appetite, this kid is looking for something to boost his appetite in the town, since the head of the family has something, I will find him immediately!"
"No hurry!"
Gu Xici shook his hand, and then laughed, "Haha, it's a tiring errand to do things for the old man, it's late at night, don't disturb him to rest, call him tomorrow, I'll let him go to the town to help me inquire about someone!"
"Okay, this kid is the best at this kind of thing!"
Gu Xici nodded slightly, then waved his hand at Lu Qing, signaling him to step back, but he muttered a person's name in his mouth.
Wang Xi ...... Wang Xi, where did you come out?"
The theft that occurred in the middle of the night caused a small commotion in the tower, but by the time Wang Xi left the sentry box, the entire tower had fallen into a deep sleep again.
It was already nearly early in the morning, and the dim passage leading to the Ancient Book Pavilion was lit up one after another, and after Wang Xi walked by, it automatically went out again.
Just like the voice-activated lamp in the previous life, this lighting charm is also quite in place, and there is a detection mechanism inside, so that the contact of the charm can be controlled at any time.
The principle is the same as many sensors, Wang Xi has studied it before, but now he is not in the mood to study.
Gu An was severely punished, but Wang Xi was not happy in his heart. Gu An is just a fool, no matter how hard he steps on him, it will not do him any good, at best, it will only make his resentment towards himself deeper.
I don't know if Gu An will leak his secret because of this incident, that is the biggest hidden danger.
But out of respect for Gu Xichao, he didn't want to target Gu An again, he only hoped that this punishment would work, and Gu An would be able to change his mind and be a new person in Heavenly Prison!
Gu An's IOU of 10,000 rune stone fragments, I am afraid there is no hope of cashing it in the short term......
I still hope that tomorrow Yin Weilan's zuò talisman can be sold at a good price!
Bowing his head and thinking silently, he had unconsciously returned to the door of the Ancient Book Pavilion house, but what Wang Xi didn't expect was that there was already a person waiting for him there!
Under the halo of the lighting talisman, the slender girl talisman refiner leaned lightly against the door, her eyes could not resist the invasion of sleepiness, and she had already closed, but her small chin was still fighting against the sleeping god one by one.
After Yin Weilan was taken out of the sentry box by Lin Fengqing, he came to Wang Xi's residence alone.
Even if Lin Fengqing told her that Wang Xi would definitely be fine, the little girl was still not at ease.
Lin Fengqing had no choice but to loosen the shackles given to Yin Weilan, but there was a trace of anxiety in the old man's eyes.
Watching Yin Weilan walk towards the Ancient Book Pavilion, Lin Fengqing's face was full of helplessness.
"City Lord, I can't stop a young girl from pursuing the freedom of happiness!"
The old man sighed and turned into the darkness.
Of course, Yin Weilan didn't know Lin Fengqing's sigh, she was now full of Wang Xi's safety.
She didn't know how Gu Xichao's steward would deal with him, in the girl's opinion, Gu An was his own nephew, maybe Wang Xi would be troubled by him, although Gu Xichao had always been a very fair steward.
But in the face of family affection, who can guarantee that there is no other thought.
Yin Weilan, who lacked experience, was a little flustered when she thought of this, before she saw that Wang Xi was safe and sound, she didn't know what to do, she didn't feel at ease when she went back to sleep, and there was no place to inquire about the news in the middle of the night, so she could only come up with a stupid way in an instant, that is, to wait stupidly in front of Wang Xi's door.
By the time Wang Xi came back, she was almost asleep.
The night was already very deep, and the side door of the Ancient Book Pavilion was not much warmer than the outside, seeing Yin Weilan's pretty face flushed from the cold, Wang Xi had a string in his heart, as if he had plucked it gently......
