After saying goodbye to Zhang Yi'an, Gu Shun immediately entered the courtyard where he lived.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he vaguely noticed that something was wrong in the courtyard.

There were a few lights in the room that was supposed to be lit with candles. Generally, when Gu Shun is not in the house, there are generally no lamps in the house, only a few candles are lit for temporary lighting.

At the door, Chunhua was still standing there, looking out.

After seeing Gu Shun coming, Chunhua immediately walked to his side and asked anxiously: "Young shopkeeper, where did you go, your mother has been waiting for you here for a long time, thinking that you went to the Zhang family's mother and son's residence next door, but there was no one from you." ”

"My mother is here, what is she doing here in the middle of the night?"

Boom –

Before Gu Shun's words were finished, the sky suddenly swept across the night sky with a terrifying flash of thunder, and Chunhua hurriedly interrupted him: "Don't talk about it yet, let's go in first." ”

Gu Shun followed Chunhua into the room, in the room, Chu Xiuru was sitting on the chair opposite the door just after entering, and Qiu Shi was standing beside her, holding the loveless Xiaobai in her hand.

When Xiaobai saw Gu Shun coming back, he exerted all four claws in unison and screamed.

Gu Shun immediately stepped forward and rescued Xiaobai from Qiu Shi's clutches.

Qiu Shi looked at a clear scratch on his hand and said: "Young shopkeeper, you must discipline this little white tiger in the future, this little white tiger didn't expect to recognize the master so much, I wanted to tease it, I didn't expect it to be so flexible and ferocious, I came up and gave me a claw, if I didn't move fast, I was caught by that claw, I had to open the skin and flesh." ”

After Xiaobai arrived in Gu Shun's arms, he suddenly became arrogant, and snorted at Qiu Shi.

Qiu Shi raised his fist and greeted it, and Xiao Bai was immediately frightened and shrunk into Gu Shun's arms, not daring to make a sound anymore.

Gu Shun rubbed the tiger head that was full of grievances, and the latter was obviously full of resistance, as if he was complaining and resisting these uninvited guests who broke in.

"Shun'er, where did you run in the middle of the night?" Chu Xiuru's voice suddenly came.

"I went out to meet a few guys from Yuantong, and wanted to promote some suitable candidates from the previous team to serve as the steward of Yuantong, so I went to the assessment for a long time."

"Didn't I say, if you want people, Mother has what you have, why do you have to ask for yourself to win over talents, and do you think that loyal subordinates are so good? I thought you were just on a whim, and you wanted to try it yourself, but after this burst of heat, forget it, you really got it up. ”

"Seriously, I said before, I can't always rely on my father and mother, I have to earn my own money to support my family."

"You child, like your father, sees something, and is as tough as an ox. Well, since you insist on doing so, Mother wants to see what you can do.

You don't want to be deceived and help others count money. ”

"How can it be, the child only has to deceive others, how can he allow others to deceive me."

"What kind of fate do you manage, I only have one request, your martial arts can't be left behind, you must seriously follow a few masters to learn martial arts, you can't waste and slack off, your current job is to learn and improve your own strength, don't take care of one or the other."

Gu Shun hugged Xiaobai and nodded repeatedly, quietly breathing a sigh of relief, if his mother insisted on inserting employees in his own Yuantong, Gu Shun would definitely not be able to completely refuse now.

Of course, just because my mother didn't mention it now doesn't mean that she doesn't have this plan, just because Gu Shun knows that the Qinglong Division of the Ancient God Sect is a particularly powerful intelligence and espionage organization, and it is all over the eyes in Daqi, and every member of the Qinglong Division is comparable to an agent, each of them is very athletic, and they are extremely fast and sharp in dealing with problems and collecting intelligence, and they are easy to understand.

If such a person secretly infiltrated Yuantong or even Guangwu, Gu Shun's secret would be hidden, and his plan to lie flat would be bankrupt, so Gu Shun had to be cautious and beware of his mother arranging some eyeliner to enter Guangwu.

But Gu Shun also knew that there was no impermeable wall in the world, and even if the defense was tight, there would eventually be flaws and loopholes, but because of the high sensitivity of the existence of the Guangwu force, Gu Shun set up the Yuantong as a barrier and transition.

On the one hand, it is to provide an excuse and cover for Guangwu's actions, and on the other hand, it is also to build a firewall between Yuantong and Guangwu's power core, so as to prevent Guangwu's existence and secret operations from being known by outsiders, so as to endanger Gu Shun's entire plan.

"I know, mother, I've said it many times, I won't fall behind in martial arts learning."

Chu Xiuru shook her head with a smile, she really didn't have anything to do about this child, neither beating nor scolding. I wanted to hold it in the palm of my hand so that he could grow up safely, and I was worried that over-doting would make Gu Shun develop a proud and conceited temper.

She has been the leader of the Cult of the Old Gods for more than ten years, dealing with thousands of difficult things, and she has ordered countless people to kill.

But she has never been so helpless as she was with Gu Shun.

At this time, Chu Xiuru's eyes glanced back and landed on Xiao Hui's body.

"Shun'er, who is he?" Although Chu Xiuru had already sent someone to secretly inquire about Xiao Hui's news, the information that the Ancient God Sect could grasp now was really limited, and there was no result for the time being about Xiao Hui's life experience.

For this person of unknown origin, Chu Xiuru always had a trace of suspicion and vigilance.

"This is my newly recruited servant, named Xiao Hui, who I got from Junze Auction House."

"With such an important position as a valet, why did you decide it yourself without consulting your mother, it's really too messy." Chu Xiuru fell down the road.

"The squire is the closest person to me, of course, it's up to me to decide. And Xiao Hui, I can assure you that he is absolutely very reliable and capable. Gu Shun argued.

Chu Xiuru looked at Xiao Hui, thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind, and these news were also understood clearly by Gu Shun using mind reading techniques one by one.

"You are Xiao Hui, where are you from your hometown, how did you know Gu Shun, what kind of martial arts do you ......know" Chu Xiuru asked some doubts one by one with great concern, and her momentum was aggressive.

Xiao Hui lowered his head and said nothing.

"Xiao Hui has a bad voice and can't speak, his hometown is from Longquan Town, I picked him during the assessment, he doesn't know martial arts, but I'm ready to teach him martial arts." Gu Shun answered these questions for Xiao Hui, "Mother, don't worry, with me, I will definitely be able to cultivate him into a talent." ”

The Xiao family in Longquan Town, although Chu Xiuru doesn't know much about the family in the Central Plains, she has long heard of the Longquan Xiao family that was slaughtered by Xianbei.

However, looking at Xiao Hui's age, if Xiao Hui was really the orphan of the Xiao family who was not killed, he should be very young at that time.

In order to let the Xiao family hand over the forging method of the Longquan sword, the Xianbei people coerced and lured the head of the Xiao family for a long time, how could the head of the Xiao family be a real man, and would rather die than give in, and finally let the Xianbei people and dogs jump over the wall in a hurry, and became angry, killing the Xiao family, including domestic servants and servants, nearly 200 people.

Later, in order to find a way to forge the Longquan Sword, the Ancient God Sect also sneaked into Longquan Town from the secret, and none of the Xiao family's people survived that year, which is a well-known thing to the locals.

Therefore, Xiao Hui is most likely not from the Xiao family in Longquan, maybe he is just a small family of the Xiao family, and even he is not from Longquan at all.
