Following the second housekeeper straight to the inner courtyard, Gu Chen was led by several people to the front of a hall in the center of the inner courtyard, although it was late at night, but the entire hall was still brightly lit, through the thin light veil, he could also vaguely see several figures in the hall, and it was accompanied by bursts of fierce quarrels.

Before coming to the door of the hall, the second housekeeper couldn't help but quietly glance back at him, and then hurriedly pushed the door in.

"Master, eldest young master, second young master, you have to make the decision for me, we just arrived in the room, San'er was disabled by that kid, please be the master for the old slave." ”

"Hmph, who is so bold as to dare to beat me and my Lu family. What about people?"

"I'm here. ”

Gu Chen raised his feet and walked slowly into the hall, and as soon as he entered the hall, several people in the room fell into his eyes.

In the center, at the head of the hall, there is an old man who thinks he is about seventy or eighty years old, and the old man is dressed in a graceful and luxurious green dress, and the emeralds inlaid on the clothes are also particularly eye-catching. And the moment he saw him come in, the white-haired old man immediately frowned fiercely, staring at Gu Chen with a mighty gaze.

On both sides of the old man's hands, there were two middle-aged people in the same gorgeous clothes, but when the first glance fell on these two people, the completely different feeling from the soul also made Gu Chen smack his lips helplessly.

The middle-aged man on the left-hand position gave him an extremely stable feeling, a righteous spirit, and he thought that this person would definitely do things properly. It was the middle man on the right hand, although this person had the same square face, but there was an uncontrollable vulture in his eyebrows.

His gaze shifted again, and when Gu Chen suddenly saw Lu Qi who was curled up in a chair, an invisible anger surged in his heart for no reason.

In her eyes, Xiao Nizi's eyes were red, and there was still a clearly visible tear stain in the corner of her eye, obviously she had only been crying for a short time, and even if he saw it, it was the three people who were still in the hall who provoked Lu Qi to look like this.

"What's wrong? Who messed with you?"

Gu Chen ignored the murderous gaze in the eyes of the three of them, walked straight to Lu Qi, patted her head lovingly, and asked softly.

"Nope. Lu Qi shook his head, and then curled up tighter, not daring to look up at him.

Gu Chen frowned, this little Nizi was not the little Nizi he had seen before: "It's okay, just tell me something, no one can bully you." ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Lu Qi burst out crying again, and the tears that broke the embankment couldn't stop flowing, she raised her head, and her slightly haggard pretty face made Gu Chen's heart tremble, and suddenly felt a touch of pity.

"Gu Chen, you go quickly, they will kill you. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Qi stood up suddenly, and wanted to push him out of the door.

"Hmph, are you leaving? Third sister, didn't the second brother say you, this kid looks like the kind of person who cheats and cheats, why do you really hook up with this kind of person?" On the right hand, the middle-aged man of the Yin Vulture said angrily, although his words were full of hatred for iron and steel, but his face was more like a touch of uncontrollable pride.

"Second brother, it's not what you think, no matter what happened to Gu Chen, big brother, daddy, you have to believe Qi'er. ”

As if he was poked in the middle by the middle-aged man's words, Lu Qi cried even more, knelt on the ground with a pop, and kept kowtowing to the old man in the first place.

"Alas, idiot, idiot, daddy doesn't know what attracted you to this kid, and actually made you look like this, your second brother is right, he not only deceived your cold ice beads, but also made you seem to have changed as if you were a different person, this son, absolutely can't stay. ”

In the first place, when the head of the Lu family saw Lu Qi crying and shouting, a pair of old eyes couldn't help but help but hold up a touch of ruthlessness.

"It's not like this, it's not like this. It's ......"

At this moment, Lu Qi wanted to say something, but Gu Chen picked her up from the ground.

He gently put the still trembling Nizi on the chair, and after handing her a reassuring look, he tilted his head slightly, stared at the old man on the head, and said coldly: "You want to kill me?"

"Hmph, that's good. The old man snorted coldly, and the old hands that had provoked him with anger couldn't help but tremble.

"Just for the cold ice beads?" Gu Chen said again.

"Hmph, stinky boy, isn't that enough? I tell you, the value of a cold ice bead is not even a hundred. ”

As soon as he asked, before the old man in the first place could speak, the middle-aged vulture who had been sitting on his right hand and was called the second brother by Lu Qi was the first to shout.

"Shut up, or you won't want to speak again in your life. ”

Gu Chen's eyes froze, and a substantial murderous aura suddenly rushed straight to the middle-aged man of the Yin Vulture who was still proud, and feeling the killing intent that penetrated into the bone marrow, the middle-aged man was immediately stunned, and his body trembled for no reason, and a look of horror appeared on his face: "Puppeteer......"

And when the others heard his subconscious words, the expressions on their faces immediately became solemn.

"It turns out that he is still a puppeteer, no wonder he dares to be so prosperous in my Lu family. The eyes of the head of the Lu family were slightly condensed, obviously he didn't expect that he would be a puppeteer.

Although there are a lot of puppeteers in this Tianyan City, most of them are only stored in the Haotian Academy, or in those aristocratic families in the east of the city, such as their Lu family, there will indeed be puppeteers in the mansion, but the number will definitely not exceed the number of one hand.

This is also because this is the imperial capital of the Tianyan Empire, and there is a clear rule in this city that unless it is chartered by the empire, a family like them, in addition to the people in the clan, must not invite more than one puppet master as an offering, otherwise it will be regarded as treason.

In fact, this can't be said to be the rules of the empire, after all, no emperor wants to have a few forces hiding around him.

However, perhaps for the sake of these families, the Tianyan Empire allows the profession of zài bounty puppeteer to be stored in the imperial city, this kind of puppeteer does not belong to any force, as long as you have money, you can ask them to do anything. It's just that the charge is extremely high.

But even so, the bounty puppet master is still in short supply, and this is a great way to alleviate the conflict of a qiē power in the imperial capital, just imagine that as long as you are willing to pay, you can invite a powerful puppeteer, so that all families can use this kind of resource, naturally no one wants to leave a lingering nightmare for themselves until the last resort.

In the hall, the atmosphere at this time gradually solidified, and such an uninvited puppeteer couldn't help but make everyone present feel uneasy.

They wondered if he had been specially invited by some other family to deal with them.
