Qiu Tieyi followed Duan Tianyang's instructions and went to test Gu Jianhong's thoughts.

In Qiu Tieyi's heart, he has a good impression of Gu Jianhong.

The two men have similar personalities, are both hidden warriors, and have both reached the Tiangang realm. These many similarities make them feel like heroes admiring each other.

In the courtyard where Yi Shuirou lived, Qiu Tieyi found Gu Jianhong and asked with a smile: "Brother Jian, aren't you on duty today?"

Gu Jianhong shrugged and responded: "I'm not on duty, what can I do for you?"

"Why don't we go to my humble abode and have a drink together?"

Gu Jianhong chuckled when he heard this: "Who should treat us this time?"

"I spent all my money yesterday. Today it's Brother Jian's turn."

"Well, to be honest, I'm short of money."

"Brother Jian is the leader of Linghua Palace, how can he be without silver?" Qiu Tieyi teased.

Gu Jianhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, mentioning that he was defrauded of money when he followed Duan Tianyang to fight against the Panda tribe.

Qiu Tieyi waved his hand generously: "Forget it, today's my turn. When we meet in Xuanhuang City in the future, you can invite me again."

Gu Jianhong readily agreed: "It's a deal!"

The two smiled at each other and walked hand in hand to Qiu Tieyi's residence.

During the dinner, everyone clinked glasses and talked and laughed.

As the wine was flowing, Qiu Tieyi changed the subject: "Brother Jian, what is your impression of the adults?"

Gu Jianhong swallowed the beef in his mouth, raised his cup and drank again, then said slowly: "There are not many people in the world who can make me sincerely convinced, the princess is one of them, and Lord Duan is also one of them."

Qiu Tieyi nodded slightly, and then asked: "In my opinion, why don't you abandon Linghua Palace and fight alongside us? With your martial arts, you can at least be the head of a corps in the Hongxing Army, and you are also the best candidate for the position of the leader in the Hongxing Society. Just imagine that in the future, we brothers will work together, gallop on the battlefield, share fine wine and delicious food, sacrifice wine with the blood of the enemy, and build achievements together. Isn't it a happy thing in life?"

After hearing this, Gu Jianhong couldn't help but feel his heart surge and his blood boil...

This kind of life really made him yearn for...

Unfortunately……

He has been nurtured by Linghua Palace since he was young, so how could he just leave?

He fell into a long contemplation, and then asked: "Brother Tie, if I asked you to abandon the Hongxing Society and join the Linghua Palace, would you be willing?"

"Absolutely impossible."

"So it's better not to mention such topics in the future. Brotherhood has nothing to do with background, but only with similar interests. Come on, let's do it!"

After saying this, he filled their glasses with wine, then raised his glass and drank it all.

Qiu Tieyi values ​​Gu Jianhong's character very much, especially his precious loyalty.

Although he felt a little regretful about Gu Jianhong's decision not to join the Hongxing Army, he felt even more admiration for him in his heart, admiring his unwavering commitment to Linghua Palace and Yi Shuirou.

Therefore, he chose to respect Gu Jianhong's decision and stopped trying to persuade him. He just raised his glass silently and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Come, let's have another drink!" Qiu Tieyi brought another pot of wine and continued to drink with Gu Jianhong.

The two of them had already drunk several pots, their faces flushed. Gu Jianhong was slightly tipsy, and waved his hands and said with a smile: "No, no, no, no more drinking, the princess has a banquet tonight, and I have to accompany her."

"Hey, the princess has her own banquet, why do you have to accompany her? Come, let's have a good time today!"

Qiu Tieyi was a straightforward person and never forced others to do things against their will. In the past, if Gu Jianhong said he couldn't handle the alcohol, he would not persuade him to drink.

However, this time he acted out of character and kept urging people to drink, which made Gu Jianhong suspicious.

After drinking the wine that Qiu Tieyi had just brought, Gu Jianhong staggered to his feet, waved his hand and said, "Brother Tie, I really can't drink any more..." Before he could finish his words, he burped.

Qiu Tieyi grabbed Gu Jianhong's sleeve tightly and said with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? We are having a great time drinking. It would be ungentlemanly to leave now. Come on, let's have a few more drinks, brothers!"

In fact, Qiu Tieyi forced Gu Jianhong to drink in order to save his life.

The two drank another pot of wine. Gu Jianhong was already drunk and could hardly control himself, so he said goodbye to Qiu Tieyi.

Seeing that he was standing unsteadily, Qiu Tieyi felt relieved and estimated that he could sleep until dawn, so he ordered two of his men to send him back to his residence.

Two members of the Hidden Martial Hall supported Gu Jianhong and returned to his residence in the villa.

As soon as he lay down on the bed, he began to snore loudly and fell into a deep sleep.

The two members exchanged glances and left the room without lingering.

However, not long after they left, Gu Jianhong, who had seemed to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, gasped for breath, and got off the bed with difficulty.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he began to sway involuntarily, and it took him a long time to stand firmly.

He suppressed the dizziness, walked out of his room and headed towards the room where Yi Shuirou was.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Gu Jianhong came to Yi Shuirou's door and instead of knocking on it, he banged on it hard.

When the door opened, he rushed in and bumped into Caiyun who came to open the door.

Caiyun was petite and could not withstand the impact from Gu Jianhong. They both fell to the ground in an instant.

Yi Shuirou, who was sitting in the house, frowned when she heard the voice and asked, "What happened?"

Caiyun struggled for a while before she realized that the person on top of her was Gu Jianhong. She couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "It's... it's Master Gu!"

She smelled it carefully and found that Gu Jianhong was full of alcohol. She couldn't help but complain: "You...how much alcohol did you drink?"

As she spoke, she struggled to push Gu Jianhong away from her.

After being pushed away, Gu Jianhong fell to the ground, his stomach churning and he almost vomited.

He swallowed a few times quickly to suppress the urge to vomit.

After gasping for a long time, he slowly got up from the ground.

At this moment, the world around him seemed to be spinning, and his sight stayed on Yi Shuirou, and it took a long time for everything to become clear.

He walked towards her with a staggering step, his feet seemed to be stepping on clouds. It seemed that he was heading in the direction of Yi Shuirou, but in fact his steps kept shifting.

Seeing this, Yi Shuirou frowned and gestured impatiently to Caiyun Cloud and Yue beside her.

The two girls quickly came to Gu Jianhong's side, held his arms firmly, and stopped his feet from moving sideways.

After Gu Jianhong stood still, Yi Shuirou asked indifferently, "Why did you drink so much?"

Gu Jianhong stared at Yi Shuirou in front of him with empty eyes. After a moment, he spoke with difficulty: "Princess, please do not go to Lord Duan's banquet tonight..."

"Why?" Yi Shuirou looked confused and was puzzled by his suggestion.

Gu Jianhong used up the last of his sanity to warn: "Tonight's banquet may be a trap set by Lord Duan, intending to harm the princess!"

Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed across Yi Shuirou and Cai Yunyue's faces at the same time.

Yi Shuirou's eyes turned slightly, and she asked in a calm voice: "What do you mean?"
