Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and remembered the conversation he and his second senior brother Wang Quan had while walking on Zhuque Street on the day of Queen An Rong's birthday party.
At that time, the second senior brother also raised the issue of the Daqian royal family.
"Senior Xiao, please speak frankly." Chu Xiu said, "I don't quite understand what Senior Xiao wants to ask."
"Master, today is my disciple's wedding day. Please give me some face," Gu Chensha said in a deep voice. He had a vague feeling that Master Langtian Taoist's problem would make Chu Xiu very embarrassed.
This is a situation he absolutely doesn't want to see.
"I would like to ask, Mr. Thirteen, whether the Daqian Royal Family is worthy of occupying the land of Jiuzhou?" Taoist Langtian stared at Chu Xiu, "If Shensha raises troops and captures the Daqian Dynasty, what will Mr. Thirteen's attitude be?"
"..."
The banquet table became silent.
Gu Chensha's expression changed and he clenched his fists tightly.
There was some anger in his heart, but he didn't know who to vent this anger to.
At this moment, the person who disrupted his wedding banquet plan was his master who had nurtured and taught him.
Meng Xiaochuan, Jingyun, Huitong, Wen Yi, and Pei Yiren all held their breath slightly.
"Why does it have to be at this time?" Chu Xiu said helplessly, "Can't we wait until Lao Gu's wedding banquet is over before asking?"
Taoist Langtian said meaningfully: "At that time, Pindao was worried that Mr. Thirteen would be invited away by others."
"Really?" Chu Xiu was noncommittal. In fact, before coming to Manzhou, he already had a premonition that attending the wedding banquet this time would not be peaceful.
He originally thought that it would be people sent by Emperor Qian to cause trouble, but he did not expect that the first person to cause trouble was actually Lao Gu's master.
On the contrary, it was the people sent by Emperor Qian who were missing.
Chu Xiu took a sip of Wangyou wine and said, "Senior Xiao is known as Taoist Langtian. He should be an outsider. Why bother pursuing power in the world?"
"When a person is alive, he must always find something to do for himself." Taoist Langtian said calmly, "My biggest wish in this life is to see Shen Sha reach the top of the Imperial Road."
Gu Chensha frowned tightly, and his fists hidden under the table were already clenched with blood.
Anger, helplessness, embarrassment...he couldn't tell the difference anymore.
"The top of the imperial path?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Gu Chensha, and teased: "So you want to be the emperor?"
Gu Chensha forced a smile on his face and said nothing.
Sometimes, your own ideas may be imposed by others.
"Lao Gu is so pitiful." Meng Xiaochuan sighed. He could feel the embarrassing situation Gu Chensha was facing at this moment.
When six people interact, their friendship is always about their hearts, and they never care about gains and losses.
But at this moment, Taoist Langtian is using this friendship to obtain benefits.
As the person involved, Lao Gu feels so embarrassed and bitter. Just thinking about it makes one's scalp numb.
Huitong, Wen Yi and Jingyun were silent, they could also feel the same.
Even Pei Yiren, who didn't know much about this kind of friendship, vaguely felt Gu Chensha's embarrassment.
"You won't get any answers from me, let alone any promises." Chu Xiu said softly, "Everyone has his or her own way to go.
You are Lao Gu’s master. You can help Lao Gu arrange his life path, but you cannot rape his personality. "
At the end of the sentence, Chu Xiu looked directly at Taoist Langtian, "What you are doing now is embarrassing Lao Gu."
Taoist Langtian said calmly: "As long as the result is good, it will be embarrassing if it is embarrassing. Since ancient times, who has achieved great success, who is not able to bend and stretch?"
"Why bother?" Chu Xiu took another sip of Wangyou wine, "I have to choose it on Lao Gu's happy day..."
"Is this your choice?" Taoist Langtian stared at Chu Xiu.
"You are not worthy of letting me make a choice." Chu Xiu said lightly, "If you still regard Lao Gu as his disciple, you can leave now."
"Master." Gu Chensha said in a deep voice, "If something happens, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"After all, it's just youthful spirit." Taoist Master Langtian sneered, flicked his robe sleeves, and his whole person turned backwards and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Help someone serve another table of delicious food." Chu Xiu looked at Pei Yiren.
Pei Yiren nodded slightly, stood up and left.
On the banquet table.
The six people were silent.
The original good mood was completely destroyed.
After a while.
Servants brought new delicacies.
"The atmosphere is a bit tense. As the eldest brother, I will say a few words first." Chu Xiu poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.
"You are the eldest brother, who admits it?" Meng Xiaochuan sneered.
Chu Xiu looked innocent, "I'm not the eldest brother, are you?"
"It's not impossible." Meng Xiaochuan smiled.
Chu Xiu stared at Meng Xiaochuan and suddenly said: "Lao Gu is already very embarrassed. Should we make him more embarrassed?"
Gu Chensha's eyelids twitched slightly and he immediately said, "I recognize you as my eldest brother."
As he spoke, he lifted the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Chu Xiu.
Meng Xiaochuan frowned slightly and didn't understand for a moment. What was going on?
"I also want to be a big brother." Wen Yi shook the empty wine glass and said leisurely.
"Okay, I also recognize you as my eldest brother." Gu Chensha laughed dryly and immediately poured a glass of Wangyou wine for Wen Yi.
Meng Xiaochuan frowned even more tightly.
Seeing Jing Yun also picking up the wine glass, before he could speak, Gu Chensha said, "Brother Jing wants to be the eldest brother, and I, Lao Gu, agree."
"Give me a drink too." Huitong said softly, planning to take the initiative to break the precept.
Everyone's expressions were as usual, no one was surprised.
After all, this is the wedding wine of Gu Shensha, and Huitong has broken the precepts before,
"Okay." Gu Chensha grinned and poured wine for Huitong.
He was forced to pour wine for others; he was willing to pour wine for Huitong.
Meng Xiaochuan remained calm and shook the wine glass in his hand.
Gu Chensha ignored him.
Meng Xiaochuan's face stiffened slightly, he stared at the five people and sneered: "You must be hiding something from me!"
"There is indeed something I'm hiding from you." Chu Xiu nodded, then sighed, "The key is, I don't know what it is."
"Not bad." Wen Yi, Huitong, and Jing Yun nodded with smiles.
"As a human being, you still have to be confused once in a while." Gu Chensha said with a smile.
Meng Xiaochuan frowned and glanced at Chu Xiu, Wen Yi, Huitong and Jingyun, and then at Gu Chensha who was laughing dryly. Suddenly, his heart moved and his whole face froze.
"Lao Gu..." Meng Xiaochuan's tone was faint.
Gu Chensha gave up struggling and sighed: "They are very curious about what happened to you; they joined forces to force me last night, but I stuck to the bottom line and only told half of the story."
Meng Xiaochuan gritted his teeth, "Which half?"
"I only said Duguye's name." Gu Chensha looked at Meng Xiaochuan seriously.
Meng Xiaochuan's face turned blue and red for a while, and finally his brows softened slightly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Chensha added: "I didn't say Dugu Ye's gender."
Meng Xiaochuan's entire body froze on the spot.
