If that jade pendant had been dropped on the outskirts of Shuozhou City fifteen or sixteen years ago, and had been exposed to wind and sun for such a long time, the jade pendant would have been seriously damaged.
The jade pendant Luo Wushang picked up indeed seemed to have the marks of being exposed to the sun for a long time in the wild.
The problem is that the jade pendant has serious sun marks on both sides.
When Gu Qingjue said this, Su Yixin recalled the appearance of the jade pendant and immediately reacted.
"That jade pendant was put there by man!"
A jade pendant dropped in the grass will only be exposed to the sun's rays for the uppermost half. The lower side, close to the soil, will only be covered with moss and will not have such uniform sun marks.
The person who cheats thinks of everything.
The only thing he didn't expect was this, which exposed his flaw.
"Who else knows about our coming to Shuozhou? Could it be that Gu Mingjue deliberately lured us here to get rid of us?"
After several fights, Gu Mingjue failed to get any favors.
Last time, he sent the father of his favorite concubine to prison, but if he could not save it, Gu Mingjue held a grudge and did not dare to do anything in Yuyuan Town, so he tricked them into coming to Shuozhou to get rid of them.
Anyway, the sky is high in Shuozhou and the emperor is far away, so the officials cannot control it here.
"probably not."
Gu Qingjue shook his head: "Gu Mingjue didn't know that you were responsible for Gu Nansheng's death. He just suffered some losses, and it wasn't like he was hurting his muscles and bones. If he can't bear these things, he won't be able to sit in the position of prefect."
"But apart from a few of us, only Gu Mingjue, the person who provided the clues, knows about the news about coming to Shuozhou."
"It's also possible that I sent Yang Junsheng to Shuozhou and alerted someone."
As for who it is, it is currently unknown.
The four of them returned to the inn and unexpectedly discovered that the man who looked very similar to Fan had also come here to stay.
They didn't take the initiative to strike up a conversation, but just waited and watched.
When he went downstairs to eat in the evening, the man accidentally glanced at Gu Qingjue and paused for a while.
Then he came up and asked, "Excuse me for interrupting you. May I ask where Mr. Xiaolang is from?"
"The Gu family in Yunyuan Town, Jiangning Prefecture."
The man nodded slightly and smiled: "I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Fan and my courtesy name is Zeyang. Can I sit down here?"
They didn't move, but they didn't expect this person to take the initiative to come over.
Then there is no reason to refuse.
"Naturally, please."
The table in the inn is the Eight Immortals table. Su Yixin and Gao Ge sit together, Gu Qingjue and Li Zhengzhen each sit half of the table, and there is another side with their backs to the lobby aisle, and Fan Zeyang sits on the empty side.
After sitting down, Su Yixin's eyes fell on Fan Zeyang.
He is wearing a blue round-necked robe. The left shoulder, right arm, and hem of the robe are embroidered with white daffodils. Around his waist is a white belt about two inches wide. On the left side is this piece of mutton-fat jade. .
Looking at Fan Zeyang's face, he has round eyes and serious eyes. When he spoke just now, his eyes were firm.
From this, we can see that this is a person who can stick to his own principles, and we can also see the good and evil of a person.
Look at his slightly raised brow bones, thick brows, long eyebrows, high nose, raised mountain roots, slightly sunken sky, slightly convex cheekbones, not set back, not falling, these are high-quality cheekbones. This kind of face has a bold personality and is not afraid of anything. Power, dare to fight.
He is a Lord who can stand up for his friends and family members, and go through mountains of swords and seas of fire.
Not surprisingly, Fan Zeyang's words can be trusted.
But nothing is absolute.
Fan Zeyang's eyes glanced at Gu Qingjue from time to time.
Gu Qingjue let him look at her generously.
In the end, Fan Zeyang himself felt a little embarrassed: "Don't blame me, Mr. Gu Xiaolang, you look a lot like an old friend of mine."
"To be honest, Mr. Fan, you look a lot like a relative of mine."
After Gu Qingjue said this, Fan Zeyang's hand holding the water glass paused slightly. When he looked at Gu Qingjue, he was a little more expectant than before.
"Oh, I wonder what her name is, maybe I actually know her!"
"She is my grandma, and her surname is Fan."
Fan Zeyang looked at Gu Qingjue in surprise. After a few moments, he looked around. After making sure they were safe, he said to Gu Qingjue and the others in a deep voice, "If you don't worry, can you follow Fan to the room for a chat?"
The person in front of me is not a human being.
But the inner strength is deep.
But if they really wanted to fight, the four of them could easily hold down the person in front of them.
So, just go for it.
Let's see if this person discovered them accidentally, or was led by someone's nose and approached them intentionally.
Several people came to Fan Langjun's room.
Unexpectedly, the first words he said after entering the door were to Gao Ge: "Girl, you are very skilled. Can you put a barrier around this room? I have something important to ask him."
After getting Gu Qingjue's consent, Gao Ge put a barrier around the room.
Unless they are Daojun who is distracted, it is impossible for others to hear their conversation.
Fan Zeyang asked them to sit down first.
Then he went to the end of the bed, rummaged through his baggage, and quickly took out a small scroll. He unfolded the scroll and found a miniature portrait on it.
It looked like Fan's.
Fan Zeyang looked at Gu Qingjue expectantly: "Gu Xiaolangjun, does your grandma look like this?"
"Yes. But who are you?"
Fan Zeyang's eyes were red, and Su Yixin could tell that he was suppressing his emotions.
"My name is Fan Jiaxiang, and she is my sister. Her name is Fan Huifang. She was born in the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu. Our family encountered disaster in the second year of Tiansheng. My sister Afang was separated from her family."
The second year of Dazhong Xiangfu was 1009 AD, and the second year of Tiansheng was 1024 AD. In this year, the official family established a daughter of the Guo family as their queen.
Fan Zeyang, which is what Fan Jiaxiang said, basically matches the timeline of when Fan and Gu Mingbo met.
But they won't easily believe him based on just a picture.
Fan Jiaxiang also knows that if you want to recognize a relative, you can't just rely on a portrait.
"My sister A Fang is very talented. She was sent to the sect to practice by her father since she was a child. That year, there was trouble in the family and she was recalled. She and her senior brother returned to the Fan family. At that time, various forces sent people to try to sneak into the Fan family. My father knew he was outmatched, so after Afang and her senior brother set up a psychedelic formation, our family escaped from Shuozhou City through the tunnel and have been anonymous since then."
Is Fan a cultivator?
This, this...
Su Yixin really doesn't know this.
If Fan is really as Fan Jiaxiang said, he is a cultivator.
It must be possible to see that there was a painting demon hidden in the painting sent by the Gu family.
After all, she and her senior brother were able to set up a psychedelic formation sixteen years ago.
This kind of phantom formation can only be set up by people with Su Yixin's level of cultivation at the Golden Core stage.
If you can see that there is a demon, why did Fan leave that painting?
"Mr. Fan, can I ask, what is the name of your sister's senior brother?"
"His name is Gu Mingbo! The second son of the former Minister of Guanglu Temple."
Ah this...
This was really beyond the expectations of Gu Qingjue and Su Yixin.
