At night, in Canglan City, thousands of houses are bustling with lights, and the long street is bustling with people coming and going. The crowds are surging.
Gu Zhan wore a bamboo hat and followed Hongzhu through the long streets and alleys. When he reached the entrance of an alley, a carriage stopped aside.
Hongzhu walked to the carriage, cupped her hands and said, "Miss, Master Gu is here."
"Come up!" Bai Jiuer's voice came from the carriage.
"Mr. Gu, please."
Hongzhu respectfully asked Gu Zhan to get on the carriage.
Gu Zhan opened the curtain,
As soon as he caught his eye, he saw Bai Jiuer, who was as extraordinary and graceful as ever, not like a mortal.
"Long time no see." Bai Jiuer said softly.
Gu Zhan got into the carriage and sat opposite Bai Jiu'er, cupping his hands and saying, "Miss Jiu'er, are you waiting for me here?"
Bai Jiuer nodded and said: "Last winter, when I first met you, I knew you were extraordinary. However, I never thought that you would be so strong. All my plans for you were meaningless."
Gu Zhan asked: "What's your plan?"
Bai Jiuer said: "Originally, I guessed that going to Pingyang Mansion with your character would definitely stir up a storm. I wanted to take that opportunity to give Xiao Liuzi an honest reason to return to Canglan City, and then take advantage of the Dragon King Still alive and clearing his mother's name.
According to my original plan, it is not much different from now. It was originally to help the sixth son to accumulate some information and seek refuge with a young master. As the second and third young masters came to an end, the final choice was the fourth young master. Overall, it was not a big deal. The change is from surrender to cooperation.
My original plan for you was to take you with me when Xiao Liuzi leaves Pingyang Mansion. You can choose to stay with the Beidou Gang, or you can choose to leave Wandering Jianghu with me. Now it seems that neither arrangement is necessary. , I am not qualified to make arrangements for you. "
Gu Zhan said doubtfully: "I can understand that staying with the Beidou Gang is a promising future. After all, no matter who takes the position, the Beidou Gang will still be the overlord of Canglan City. But what does it mean to leave and wander around the world with you?"
"literal meaning."
A rare smile appeared on Bai Jiu'er's face, but she didn't explain any more.
Gu Zhan did not continue to ask further, but asked: "What is the plan of you and the Fourth Young Master here in Canglan City?"
Bai Jiuer said: "I asked Hongzhu to send you a message before. Tomorrow, the Fourth Young Master will take action. We can no longer decide whether it will succeed or not. We are going to the Fourth Young Master's house now."
…
The carriage moved forward and stopped in an alley. It was surrounded by high walls and was very quiet. There was a small door in the wall with a red lantern hanging. This bluestone alley had a unique charm.
Got off the carriage,
Bai Jiuer said: "After entering this door, you can go directly to the Fourth Young Master's house through a secret passage. The situation is tense now. The eldest Young Master and the Fourth Young Master have arranged a lot of spies for each other. If they enter in a swaggering way, it is easy to alert the enemy."
Gu Zhan nodded without saying anything and followed Bai Jiuer through the door.
Soon, after passing through a tunnel,
They came directly to a hall. At this time, there were many people sitting in the hall, and the atmosphere was very serious.
Sitting on the main seat was a middle-aged man who was about forty years old. Looking at his appearance alone, he looked very similar to Mo Beiyan, but he was not as handsome as Mo Beiyan.
Gu Zhan guessed that this person should be the Fourth Young Master Mo Zhengning.
Seeing Bai Jiuer and others coming in, Mo Zhengning stood up and came over to greet him, smiling and saying, "Jiu Mei, you're here." After that, he looked at Gu Zhan, cupped his hands and said, "I think this is brother Gu Zhan. Okay, this is Mo Zhengning."
Gu Zhan cupped his hands and said, "I have met the Fourth Young Master."
"Don't be so arrogant. Come on, brother Gu, please take a seat," Mo Zhengning said with a smile: "Brother Gu is a brother who is like thunder in my ears. I have admired him for a long time. When I saw him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is peerless in style and worthy of the name of a genius!"
Gu Zhan sat down and said, "Fourth Young Master is overly praised."
With a smile on his face, Mo Zhengning introduced a middle-aged man with some gray temples sitting opposite him, and said: "Brother Gu, let me introduce to you. This is Tian Ji, the head of the Shangyangtian family. The person next to him is He is the eldest elder of the Zhang family in Jinxi..."
Mo Zhengning began to introduce Gu Zhan.
In this hall, there are basically representatives of the Tian family and some aristocratic sects who have taken refuge in Mo Zhengning. Their identities are not simple, and they all come from some first-rate forces.
Mo Zhengning introduced each one in order of status,
Everyone stood up to perform the ceremony.
However, when the last young man was introduced, before Mo Zhengning could speak, the young man spoke first: "I thought the famous God of Death was really like the rumored green-faced and fanged man who was three feet tall, but it turns out he is just that ordinary. , It’s really better to be famous than to meet!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
The atmosphere immediately became very bad.
No one expected that this young man would show such hostility to Gu Zhan on such an occasion.
A look of embarrassment flashed across Mo Zhengning's face, and he immediately smoothed things over with a smile: "Brother Gu, this is Tian Yun, the genius of the Tian family. He is famous for not being able to speak. Don't take it to heart."
Gu Zhan glanced at the young man named Tian Yun. His appearance was more handsome, but there was always a strong sense of provocation in his eyes.
Gu Zhan couldn't figure out why this man was hostile to him. After all, he offended the Liu family, not the Tian family. After all, the Liu family and the Tian family were still sworn enemies. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Logically speaking, the Tian family should They all have a favorable impression of themselves, as do the previous Tian family members, but this Tian Yun is provocative as soon as he comes.
Immediately, Gu Zhan frowned, looked at Mo Zhengning, and said: "Fourth Young Master, if you don't welcome me, you can just say so instead of finding a cat or a dog to provoke me. I have a bad temper and sometimes control myself." I can’t help but like to crush cats and dogs to death!”
"Gu Zhan!"
Tian Yun immediately became furious and said: "I really think that you are just a green onion if you are on the list of geniuses. If my eldest brother hadn't been in seclusion, how could you have been on the list of geniuses!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan immediately understood,
He had heard Mo Beiyan mention before that the younger generation of the Tian family had a top genius named Tian Yu. He had been ranked eighteenth on the genius list for two years and was the current face of the Tian family. However, after the battle at Lingxi Mountain, When he was on the list of geniuses, he directly pushed Tian Yu off the list of geniuses.
And now Tian Yun's hostility comes from this.
Gu Zhan's guess was indeed good.
Tian Yun and Tian Yu are both the leaders of the Tian family. Tian Yun achieved Taoism in his twenties, and his brother Tian Yu was directly on the list of geniuses. Although they are not biological brothers, they have always admired Tian Yu and have always admired Tian Yu. He regarded Tian Yu as his pride, but suddenly, Gu Zhan appeared and knocked his brother off the list of geniuses.
He believed that it was because Tian Yu was in seclusion that Gu Zhan had this opportunity, and that Gu Zhan was a villain who took advantage of the situation. Over time, he developed hostility towards Gu Zhan in his heart.
Gu Zhan stood up and walked to Tian Yun, saying in a deep voice: "What, you don't accept it?"
