Hua Nianliang was stunned at first, and then panicked.
She was just using money to do things. As for the All-Martial Arts Association, it had nothing to do with her.
If Gu Xiaotian is determined to give the employer behind Hua Nianliang a blow, then he can label Hua Nianliang a thief of the All-Martial Arts Association and he will be safe.
There will even be a lot of people cheering for him.
Hua Nianliang dared to hide that she was just doing work, and the money from her employer was not enough for her to work for her. She immediately said it like pouring beans through a bamboo tube: "I am not a member of the All-Martial Arts Association, I just It's just to help the young master of the Peng family, and the purpose is to keep an eye on your whereabouts and look for opportunities to stun you. The rest will naturally be handled by the follow-up people, and I can't control it."
This answer was consistent with Gu Xiaotian's guess. Gu Xiaotian wandered around the room, thinking about countermeasures.
He slowly sat back on the chair and looked directly into Hua Nianliang's eyes, "Where is Peng Wen now?"
Hua Nianliang said aggrievedly: "Didn't we agree on a problem?"
After all, they didn't dare to offend any family. If they told Peng Wen's whereabouts, the Peng family's treatment of Hua Nianliang would not be as simple as retaliation.
The Peng family is famous for being cruel and ruthless in Kyoto.
Gu Xiaotian moved closer, held Hua Nianliang's chin, and said with a smile: "Girl Hua, you may not have understood the fact yet, your life is in my hands."
As for whether Gu Xiaotian dared to kill Hua Nianliang or not, no one present knew, not even Gu Xiaotian himself.
However, the more times like this, the more fierce Gu Xiaotian will be in order to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.
Hua Nianliang had only heard of the old Gu Xiaotian, who was a good-for-nothing young master.
But at this time, Gu Xiaotian's appearance didn't look like a waste at all.
In Hua Nianliang's eyes, Gu Xiaotian now looks like a murderous demon without blinking an eye.
Hua Nianliang hesitated and said: "I know, but can I stop talking and write instead?"
Only then did Gu Xiaotian realize that he had been negligent. He had indeed ignored Hua Nianliang's future safety issues. Due to Peng Wen's style alone, Hua Nianliang would not be able to escape death.
Gu Xiaotian released Hua Nianliang's chin, returned to his seat and said, "Just say it, you will stay in my Gu family from now on."
This is a verbal promise given to Hua Nianliang. If outsiders know about this, most of them will say that the young master of the Gu family is careful and leaves room for mistakes. In this way, Peng Wen becomes a villain who always plays dirty tricks.
With Gu Xiaotian's promise, Hua Nianliang no longer conceals anything, "Peng Wenren is still in Yihua Palace and will return to Kyoto in about three days."
Gu Xiaotian asked doubtfully: "In other words, you are a disciple of Yihua Palace?"
Hua Nianliang nodded and admitted.
This is not just a dispute between the Gu family and the Peng family. Now it involves the Yihua Palace. It can be said that Peng Wen has made careful calculations and wants to involve all the sects.
However, there is indeed nothing wrong with Peng Wen's actions. The Peng family's strength alone is definitely no match for the Gu family.
What's more, there is a Yang family in the middle. If the Yang family were asked to choose an ally between the Gu family and the Peng family, the Yang family would definitely choose the Gu family without thinking.
Therefore, if Peng Wen wants to destroy the Gu family, he must involve more people. Only when the situation becomes serious can the Peng family be able to fight.
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand and signaled the guards to take Hua Nianliang back to the Gu family.
He sat alone at the table, drinking wine and thinking about the problem, one cup after another, until not a drop was left.
But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so he could only sigh helplessly.
Sure enough, things that use my brain are still not suitable for me.
He picked up the brush on the inkstone, pulled out a piece of rice paper, and started writing on it. He wrote about what happened in Kyoto, then walked to the window and whistled.
A messenger pigeon flew over slowly. Gu Xiaotian rolled up the rice paper, put it into the small tube on the pigeon's foot, patted the pigeon's feathers, and the pigeon flew away into the distance.
For this kind of thing, we can only ask Duan Peng for a solution.
Not long after, a singer walked in from the door holding a box of hot snacks. Nothing happened inside the house.
The signs of a fight were the same as when she went out before, and the singer didn't know what happened.
However, after the singer came in, she looked around and then asked, "Where's the little flower?"
Gu Xiaotian joked: "That girl, I don't like her, so I asked her to leave first."
The crisis was temporarily lifted, and Gu Xiaotian no longer had any worries and started to have fun.
After playing until the evening, Gu Xiaocai was satisfied, ordered the last bottle of wine, sent all the girls away, and drank slowly by himself.
The singer exited the door and saw a man walking from a distance.
Looking at this man from a distance, just by the sand-stained clothes on his body, you can be sure that this man comes from the border.
But when the man approached, all the singers couldn't help shouting, "Yang, Mr. Yang?"
The person coming is none other than the eldest son of the Yang family, Yang Yang!
It's just that the Yang Yang now is completely different from the person he was a year ago. He is dressed simply, carries a spear on his back, and has a long scar on his right face.
However, he can still be recognized by the temperament between his eyebrows and Yang Yang's charming eyes.
Yang Yang smiled at the several singers. After a year of training in the frontier, his face was stained by the sand.
Several singers helped Yang Yang open the door. Yang Yang didn't care and strode in, shouting: "Brother Gu Xian!"
Gu Xiaotian was a little dazzled after drinking. He stood up tremblingly, turned his head and looked at Yang Yang, and asked, "Who are you?"
Yang Yang immediately ran up and gave Gu Xiaotian a bear hug, laughing and saying, "Brother Gu, don't you recognize me?"
Gu Xiaotian shook his head twice to wake himself up a little, and then said in surprise: "Brother Yang! Why are you like this?"
Yang Yang pulled Gu Xiaotian back to the table, picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth. After Yang Yang drank to his heart's content, he wiped his mouth and said: "Hey, it's not like the border is surrounded by sand and soil all day long. How can I still look like a young man now?"
As he said that, he pointed at Gu Xiaotian with a smile, "But you, Laixianbilai, didn't even remember to call me. If I hadn't gone to your house to find you, I really wouldn't have known you were enjoying yourself here."
Gu Xiaotian sobered up a lot, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Didn't I think you hadn't gone home yet, so I didn't put in the effort?"
As he spoke, he looked at the spear on Yang Yang's back.
The long spear was a little different from the ones usually played in the guards' courtyard. The whole spear was completely black, with a white tassel hanging on the body, but it was dyed a bit red, making it look very powerful. The tip of the gun is also ground extremely sharp.
Gu Xiaotian curiously stepped forward and touched it. Yang Yang didn't mind. He took the gun off his back and threw it into Gu Xiaotian's hand, letting Gu Xiaotian play with it.
The moment he first received the gun, Gu Xiaotian suddenly felt that the gun seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, and one hand alone was not enough to lift the entire gun.
The weight of his edgeless sword is already extremely exaggerated, but compared with this gun, it pales into insignificance.
Gu Xiaotian played with it twice with his hands. He didn't know how to shoot, so he just played a few tricks at will, and praised: "What a gun!"
"Brother Yang, is this gun alive?"
Yang Yang was still munching on food at the table, speaking slurredly: "Ye Yao."
Shining in the night, if the gun is released, it will definitely kill someone!
Gu Xiaotian put Ye Yao aside and sat back on his seat. The two clinked glasses and drank, chatting a lot. But most of them are the experiences of this year.
However, what makes Gu Xiaotian feel ashamed is that in the same year, he has just reached the peak of his artistic conception and is about to ascend to the realm of mind, while Yang Yang is already in the early stage of the Qiu Shui realm.
Gu Xiaotian sighed: "Brother Yang, in terms of talent, you are indeed better."
Yang Yang smiled and said: "Brother Gu, in terms of talent, there may not be anyone in the entire Eight Wildernesses who can match you. I only reached this state by spending all day at the border encircling and suppressing the Quanwuhui."
Gu Xiaotian has not really participated in any dangerous battles so far. Most of them are mainly competitions. Only Bai Jing's time was a life and death duel.
But Yang Yang is different. Yang Yang is located on the frontier. He not only has to resist the border horse thieves, but also the All-Martial Arts Association.
Complete
The Wuhui's power in the border areas is much stronger than that in the Central Plains. Most of the forces in the Central Plains are almost complete. If the Wuhui wants to get involved, it really needs to put in some effort.
But the frontier is different, but those horse thieves in the frontier have killed one group and another one, and another one has come and destroyed, and the cycle repeats.
Until later, these horse thieves seemed to be leaderless, and the Quanwuhui would naturally be better at controlling them.
While the two were talking and laughing, Gu Xiaotian told Yang Yang what Hua Nianliang had secretly observed today. After hearing this, Yang Yang became interested, asked for some details, and then said, "Brother Gu, I have a guess. Are you willing to listen?"
Gu Xiaotian naturally trusted Yang Yang very much and nodded to express his acceptance.
The next second, Yang Yang said in a shocking tone: "I suspect that there are people from the All-Martial Arts Association within the Peng family."
Gu Xiaotian was shocked at first, and then asked: "Why does Brother Yang have such a guess?"
Yang Yang groped around his waist and took out a jade pendant.
The jade pendant was so damaged by the wind and sand that it no longer shone brightly, but the appearance of the jade pendant could still be vaguely seen. This jade pendant is engraved with complicated patterns, and its texture is dense, fine, and extremely tough. After wiping it clean, the color is crystal clear, warm and elegant. On the front of the jade pendant is engraved the word "Peng".
This is the jade pendant of the Peng family!
However, there are many types of jade pendants of the Peng family. Those who are directly related to Peng Wen will have more detailed jade pendants. This jade pendant is obviously a jade pendant owned by a branch of the Peng family.
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Brother Yang, where did you get this jade pendant?"
Yang Yang opened the window and walked up to close the window, "They were looted from horse thieves on the border."
The two stared at the jade pendant and were silent for a while.
The Peng family was quite powerful in the court, so naturally there would be officials serving in the border areas. In the border areas, most of them are military generals. Naturally, this jade pendant also belongs to the generals of the Peng family stationed in the border areas.
However, this jade pendant was actually passed to the hands of border horse thieves, and the things behind it are worthy of doubt.
Yang Yang put away the jade pendant and said without thinking too much: "Let's first observe whether the Peng family has any actions. Judging from the current situation, Peng Wen just wants to fight for power and should not have joined the All-Martial Arts Association. As for the Peng family, I have secretly sent people to keep an eye on its side branches and will keep an eye on them in the future." 1
