Gu Xi raised his eyebrows, protected Wei Rou behind him, and his eyes fell heavily on these people.

Ling Yun and Wu Jiang also became alert.

The lively streets did not cool down because of this tense situation.

Everyone didn't let go of what they were doing, but turned their eyes to this side from time to time, wanting to see what happened.

This group of people is neatly dressed, with a saber hanging from their waists, they seem to be officials, and they are aggressive.

Then, under everyone's amazed eyes, he knelt down on one knee in front of Gu Xi.

Gu Xi: ...

Wei Rou blinked and turned to look at him.

"This is?"

The leader bowed his head and said hello: "The last general has met the general."

Gu Xi's eyelids twitched, and all the eyes around him were focused on him. He pursed his lips, and there was a bit of hostility in his eyes.

"You got the wrong person."

After Gu Xi said this, he hugged Wei Rou and turned his head to walk in the opposite direction. He whispered to Wei Rou, "Go back to the inn first?"

Knowing that he had other plans, Wei Rou nodded obediently.

The leader froze in place after receiving such a reply from Gu Xi, and then realized something, his expression became extremely bad, and he hurriedly stood up.

"withdraw."

After Gu Xi sent Wei Rou back to the inn, he hurried out.

Wen Qing poured tea for Wei Rou, with a worried look on her face: "Madam, those people looked like officials just now. They recognized the general so quickly."

They came to Jiangnan this time to be considered low-key, and they didn't make much publicity. They didn't expect to be recognized.

Wei Rou took the teacup and took a sip, narrowing her eyes slightly amidst the curling heat.

"It's not surprising. After all, those who have been in contact with the general will not easily forget him. The general will handle it well, so don't worry. By the way, is there any clue about what you asked to investigate?"

Nod tenderly.

"My servant asked the vendors on the street, and said that three years ago, a natural disaster occurred in the south of the Yangtze River, and many people were displaced and disappeared. I think Miss Chu is the capital where she moved three years ago."

Wei Rou pondered, "Have you found any information related to the Chu family?"

Warmth: "not yet, and I can't tell clearly after asking a few questions."

"Then wait."

At this moment, Wu Jiang shouted loudly from outside the house.

"who!"

Standing in front of Wei Rou tenderly and vigilantly, looking in the direction outside the door.

Wei Rou put the tea cup in her hand on the table unhurriedly.

I don't know what Wu Jiang said outside, his voice gradually became lower.

Then Wu Jiang knocked on the door and said respectfully: "Ma'am, someone has come to Jiang's residence, saying that Miss Jiang wants to see you, and invites you to visit the residence."

Hearing the warmth, her face softened a little, and she looked at Wei Rou hesitantly.

Wei Rou got up slowly, tidied up her clothes, and walked out.

"Let's go, go and see Jiang He."

Warm and hurried to follow.

Two servants of the Jiang family came outside, one of them was Guard Du who came to arrest Jiang He last night. When he saw Wei Rou wearing a mask, he couldn't help but think of the man last night, and his bandaged shoulder ached.

His manner was respectful.

"Ma'am, my lady has already prepared a sedan chair downstairs."

Wei Rou nodded in response, without saying anything else, went downstairs and got into the sedan chair.

Coincidentally, Jiang's mansion is just two streets away from the inn they stayed in.

There are bluestone slabs along the road, and the people carrying the sedan chair walked smoothly.

Sitting on the sedan chair, Wei Rou lifted the curtain of the sedan chair from time to time to look at the scenery outside.

Compared with the prosperity of the capital, Jiangnan is more smoky.

When they arrived at the Jiang Mansion, the housekeeper had already stepped forward to greet him personally.

"Madam Gu, this way please."

Hearing this, Wei Rou couldn't help but look at him more.
