Chapter 50: Volume II: Chapter 8: Young Master of the Gu Family (6)

As soon as a few people entered the main hall, they saw a banquet table full of mountains and delicacies had already been placed in the center of the hall, Gu Xichao and Gu Tianhao had already waited in the hall, and when they saw a few people coming in, Gu Tianhao greeted them and said: "A few people came from afar, the cold house is very honored, a few are friends with my son, they are the distinguished guests of my Gu Mansion, today I give up this banquet to wash the dust for a few people, and the other is also for the people in my house this morning who have no intention of offending a few people to accompany them, and please forgive me for the crime of not governing the family strictly." Shaoqing stepped forward and thanked: "Lord Gu is serious, Your Excellency is the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance, and I feel honored to be able to set up such a feast to entertain me and a few other foreigners." Besides, we didn't pay attention to those little things in the morning, and we asked the Gu Alliance Master not to mention any more words of apology. Gu Tianhao then smiled and said: "Young Master Long is really a bold person, then I Gu Mou will not be polite." Come, let's all sit down at the table. Then a few people sat down in a divided manner, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the price of wine and delicacies went up, and a few people tasted the delicious food.

But it is said that the wine has passed three rounds, and the food has five flavors. After Gu Tianhao chatted with a few people about his life experience and the customs of Jiangdu City, he didn't say anything anymore.

The scene was a little embarrassing, so Long Shaoqing said casually: "Master Gu, I heard that there seems to be no peace in Jiangdu City recently, and there are many rumors about what kind of ghosts are haunting, dare to ask what happened?" As soon as Gu Tianhao heard this, his brows furrowed, and then he said: "It's actually a bit strange, there are always many young girls who disappear in the city of Jiangdu for no reason, but the government can't find any clues in the coming year, so people are panicked, rumors are spreading, and what demons and monsters are going to go." The person you met with me when you came this morning was the Taishou Thunder Dome of this Jiangdu City, and he was at a loss because of the girl's disappearance, so he came to me and hoped that my Gu Mansion could help. ”

"The girl is missing?" Long Shaoqing frowned slightly, and then said: "What Gu Meng Master said is very strange about this matter, I, Long Shaoqing, am not talented, and I also know a little bit about mystical magic and immortal arts, if it is really a ghost, a few of us can also do our best to help the people of Jiangdu solve this matter." Gu Tianhao said with a smile: "But it is Long Gongzi who is too careful, I Gu someone has never believed in some strange things that are chaotic, if I want to help in this case, I will definitely pour the power of Gu Fu to help the government find out." However, for the kindness of Long Gongzi, Gu Mou first thanked Long Gongzi for the entire Jiangdu people. As soon as Long Shaoqing heard Gu Tianhao's words and showed that he didn't trust himself, he felt a little bored, so he only said: "Gu Meng's words are serious, if you have a place to speak, you should do your best." And he ate his own food silently.

A few people chatted while eating, and in a blink of an eye, it was around the end of the banquet, and Gu Tianhao sent someone to send the three of Shaoqing back to their residence.

said that the summer night was slow, and Shaoqing lay on the couch tossing and turning but always couldn't sleep. Listening to the sound of insects outside, and a burst of moonlight spilling into the house through the window, I simply got dressed and went outside to see the midsummer night scene.

Pushing the door open, a night breeze blows in his face. The fresh air that is unique to the night is refreshing.

Shaoqing took a deep breath, and then walked to the courtyard, looking up at the bright white moon and the stars in the sky.

"The moon seems to be very bright tonight." Shaoqing thought silently in his heart, and suddenly, a sigh from the corner on the side came into his ears, Shaoqing turned to look, but Jingxue was there, only to see that she was dressed in white, and a faint moonlight shrouded her body, adding a bit of beauty to her already alluring appearance.

Jingxue also looked up at the sky, as if she had something on her mind, and sighed to herself.

"In the middle of the night, Miss Jingxue doesn't sleep, but what is she sighing here?" Shaoqing jokingly walked over and said.

Jingxue saw that it was him, but she didn't frolic like during the day, but said faintly: "It's you, I'm fine, but I can't sleep a little, so I came to the yard for a walk, and when I saw the moon, I couldn't help but think of some things." ”

"Oh? Worry. Shaoqing pretended to be curious and said, "What's on your mind?" Tell me about it. Jingxue shook her head and said, "Why do you want to tell you?" What do you know about other girls' hearts? Shaoqing smiled: "Yes, yes, I don't understand." If you don't want to say it, Miss, I won't ask. After hearing this, Jingxue bit her lip, then lowered her head and said, "No, I didn't mean that, I just saw this moonlight and thought of my hometown." ”

"Home? Isn't this Xuanxue Country your hometown? Shaoqing asked. Jingxue shook her head and said

"It's not. My true hometown is a place farther away than here, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to go back to it for the rest of my life. Don't ask me where I am, I can't tell, but trust me, I'm not trying to hide anything, and I'll tell you if the time is right. Shaoqing was stunned, but he didn't expect Jingxue to care so much about these casual chatter, and emphasized that he didn't deliberately hide it, which made Shaoqing a little confused.

But he had to laugh and say, "Well, I believe you, I'll wait for that 'opportunity'." ”

"Hmm." Jingxue nodded, then turned her head again and was silent. Shaoqing thought for a while and said, "Since we can't sleep, it's not interesting to just wander around in this small courtyard." Not far from the riverside after this manor, we will all have that light footwork, if you go to the riverside to sit, the scenery must be much more beautiful than here. When Jingxue heard this, she immediately said, "Okay, then you can take me quickly." Shaoqing smiled, then unfolded the water cloud swimming footwork, and took Jingxue out of the Gu Mansion and headed towards the river.
