When Gu Li spoke, he looked at Shen Rou so openly, with a faint smile even hanging on the corner of his mouth.
There was panic on Shen Rou's face for a moment, and she took a step back unconsciously, but she quickly calmed down, with a smile on her face, which seemed a bit quick-witted. She walked forward as if she was frightened, and her face Showing great concern and joy: "Sister is back? Fortunately, you came back safely, otherwise the second brother would have gone back to find you, but it's just that my sister is covered in blood, so it's hard for her to enter the city."
She said it casually, but there was a hint of pride on her face.
Thinking of the poison in her body, a gentle smile appeared on Gu Li's face: "My sister is thoughtful, but she didn't know that there are bandits in Sifang City recently. Then we can just say that we were attacked by bandits."
King Jade probably went to great lengths to hoard this small number of troops. In order to prevent the mountain people from entering the mountain, he even made the illusion that there were bandits in the mountain. However, he was afraid that the court would send people to encircle and suppress them, so he would only rob some passing vendors. It will not attract the attention of the court, and it will also act as a deterrent.
Come to think of it, the mountain was already empty at this time. In order to please the Saint of the Yun Clan, he even exposed one of his troop storage points. It seems that as the book said, the Yun Clan is at the top of the world.
Gu Li reached out and touched her heart, which was numb. Thinking of the poison she had been poisoned, the smile on her face became softer: "But my sister is still overly worried. Look, isn't the carriage to pick us up coming?"
Shen Rou turned around and saw that the city gate had opened and a carriage slowly drove out from the city gate. It was the carriage they came in. The driver parked the car beside them and opened the curtain. It was a carriage. Baby-faced young man.
Seeing this young man, a heartfelt smile appeared on Shen Rou's face: "Fourth brother! You are here to pick us up."
The young man has a baby face, which is also fair. His eyes are slender but not like a fox face like Bai Zhi. Instead, they are slightly curved. He looks round and round like a fat lucky cat. These are the four figures. Brother Gu Yuan.
Even though Gu Yuan looks amiable on the surface, he is the most domineering person towards Shen Rou in the book. Later, when he became a business tycoon, he almost regarded Shen Rou as his own property, from Shen Rou's jewelry to her clothes. , he personally selected everything for Shen Rou to wear. She almost treated her like his Barbie doll, dressing her up to be more gorgeous and noble than a princess.
Gu Yuanren is extremely smart and a real smiling tiger. He is kind on the surface but cruel and suspicious in nature. He has a servant who secretly meets his rival without telling him. When he finds out, he directly meets his opponent in front of the whole house. Beaten to death.
Later, when he became prosperous, a rich daughter laughed at Shen Rou for her superficiality. He resorted to tricks to make the rich daughter's family bankrupt. Even if she went to Qianjing to beg, no one would dare to give alms.
He is such a person, but he looks so kind and gentle on the outside, like a docile big cat.
"The guards Xiaorou brought have told me everything about you. Xiaorou, you are too messy. Is that a place where girls should go?" Gu Yuan smiled and rubbed Shen Rou's cheeks. The head, with words of reproach in his mouth, looked doting on his face.
Gu Li, a girl covered in blood: "What the hell..."
The unhappy expression on Gu Li's face quickly caught Gu Yuan's attention. He smiled but had no warmth: "Is this our so-called biological sister? Hello, I am Gu Yuan, the fourth child, the source of wealth. First time. When we meet, please give me some advice.”
Gu Li treated her brothers equally, and smiled sweetly like she did when she first met Gu Chen: "Hello, fourth brother, I'm Gu Li." It might be sweeter if you ignored the blood all over her body.
"Hurry up and get in the car. When there are more people, seeing you like this will cause trouble." Gu Yuan glanced at Gu Lun and Gu Li again, and stayed on Bai Zhi for a while, while Bai Zhi said He stood up lazily, as if he had no bones.
"This brother is..." Sure enough, with Gu Yuan's suspicious temperament, he was bound to ask Bai Zhi's identity.
"His surname is Bai. He is a worldly master and my benefactor. This time I was chased into the deep forest. Thanks to Mr. Bai who collected medicine, I was saved." In order to dispel Gu Yuan's doubts, he explained the matter simply. After a moment, although Gu Yuan still had doubts on his face, he said nothing more.
The carriage moved forward. The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit strange. Gu Li was a little indifferent. She had not eaten since noon yesterday. The night of fighting and running, coupled with the poisoning and the rush at dawn, made her a little tired, so she had to close her eyes. Eye.
Shen Rou stayed in Gu Yuan's arms, crying softly and talking intermittently about the dangers encountered during this trip. The three of them all tacitly agreed not to mention the Jade King and just regarded this incident as an ordinary encounter with bandits.
Shen Rou will definitely tell her four guards not to mention it, because Shen Rou is one of the murderers.
Gu Yuan listened and comforted Shen Rou in a low voice. If Gu Yuan was suspicious by nature, Shen Rou was the only person he trusted unconditionally.
Gu Lun leaned against the car wall and remained silent. He was a little confused now. Shen Rou's behavior was too suspicious. The moment of shock and guilt when she first saw Xiaoli lingered in his heart.
But that guess was too heavy, too heavy for him to accept, so he chose to escape. However, cracks appeared in the complete mirror, which would only get bigger and bigger.
The carriage swayed from side to side and gradually drove onto the streets of Sifang City. Sifang City is a very elegant small town, somewhat similar to Dali, Yunnan. Because this place is surrounded by mountains, has a pleasant climate, every house has water, and every household has flowers. Most of the people here are old officials begging for bones, living here in seclusion with their families.
Most of the people living there are dignitaries, and drinking tea is one of the favorite things for people in the city.
People who hold poetry gatherings, listen to books, and even listen to music and operas all love to drink tea. People who love tea drink again lead to business opportunities, and the tea industry also develops. With such a huge amount of money, it is inevitable that someone will start the tea industry. Sooner or later.
But what happened to my uncle and brothers was different. After all, they arrived late, and the other party had already gathered a group of forces. If they wanted to win back the situation, they needed to act according to the situation.
Gu Li was lost in thought when she suddenly felt the carriage stop. It seemed that she had arrived at Chenji Tea Shop.
It was inconvenient for Gu Li and Gu Lun to get out of the car, so Gu Yuan got off the car and called the door. However, as soon as Gu Yuan's feet touched the ground, a figure suddenly ran up from nowhere and grabbed the corner of Gu Yuan's clothes.
Such a quick move turned out to be a beggar. The beggar's tall figure huddled in a ball, blocking Gu Yuan's way, and stretched out his hand to beg.
Gu Yuan wanted to go around, but the man refused to let him go. He was like a maggot attached to the bone and refused to let Gu Yuan pass.
