Gu Pan Lanling

Chapter 61 The mysterious man in black

Unable to defeat Gao Wen's persuasion, Gu Zimo finally compromised, "Don't worry, Mr. Gao, I'll go back right away. As long as His Highness's injuries are not fully recovered, I will always be by his side."

"There is Mr. Lao."

When getting into the carriage, Gao Wen bowed and stood aside, Gu Zimo shook his head: "Since I promised you to accompany His Highness, I will not break my promise."

"I don't mean that, I just want to send the young master away with my own eyes. To put it bluntly, you and His Highness are not at the house. I really feel deserted..."

"Understood, don't worry, Manager Gao, I will mention it to His Highness when I see him, and see if I can let you serve in another courtyard."

Gao Wen was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed his hands respectfully to Gu Zimo: "Thank you, Mr. Zimo..."

After getting into the carriage, Gu Zimo lowered the curtain, knowing that Gao Wen would watch the carriage disappear from sight before returning home.

Gao Wen's words just now had a special taste in his ears.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

In fact, he can completely ignore Gao Changgong.However, Nai He was always worried.

Although they didn't get along very well in the past few months, judging from the fact that Gao Changgong sacrificed his life to save him, he was not a heinous person.

I don't know when it started, but the grudge against Gao Changgong began to fade little by little.

Gu Zimo was thinking about these things absently, the carriage suddenly bumped, and only the groom exclaimed.

"What happened?"

Gu Zimo lifted the curtain of the car, and the groom reported to him solemnly: "My lord, be careful, there are assassins..."

After saying that, the groom jumped out of the carriage, as if he wanted to fight the "Assassin".

Being able to serve in the Lanling Prince's Mansion, even a groom has martial arts.

Gu Zimo is not surprised at all that the groom knows martial arts.

"Wait!"

Seeing that the weapon in the groom's hand was about to stab the assassin, Gu Zimo hurriedly jumped off the carriage and stopped him: "You are mistaken, he is not an assassin."

For some reason, when the groom was about to stab the figure in black, Gu Zimo felt a strong sense of unease.

When Gu Zimo's voice fell, the groom stopped attacking the masked man in black.

The man in black probably heard Gu Zimo's voice, turned around slowly, and looked at Gu Zimo with a pair of deep eyes.

Looking at each other, Gu Zimo feels inexplicably kind to these eyes, and he can't even restrain his joy in his heart.

Putting down his guard for a moment, he got out of the carriage and walked up to the man in black.

The man in black was wearing a black mask, Gu Zimo couldn't see his face clearly, only those unusually deep eyes made Gu Zimo feel very familiar.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Although there is some inexplicable intimacy towards the man in black.

But this person's attire is very strange.

Dressed in black, he doesn't look like a good guy.

It's no wonder that the groom is regarded as an assassin.

Before the man in black could answer, the groom hurried forward to protect Gu Zimo behind him, "Master Gu, this person's background is unknown, so you should be careful..."

The groom's reminder brought Gu Zimo back to his senses slowly.

He was indeed lacking in consideration just now, and just because this person was inexplicably familiar, he came over.

Even so, Gu Zimo still had no intention of returning to the carriage.

He wanted to figure out who this man in black was.

What is the purpose of standing in front of his carriage.

He nodded slightly at the groom, "No problem, I just had a few words with him."

Gu Zimo walked around the groom, and turned his eyes back to the man in black. When he met those deep and complicated eyes, Gu Zimo asked tentatively, "Did you hear me?"

The man in black still stood there motionless, but his gaze moved away from Gu Zimo's body and landed not far behind Gu Zimo. No one could clearly see how he made the move. He waved his hand, a hurricane blew past, and a colorful poisonous snake broke into several pieces on the spot.

"Master Gu, are you alright?"

The groom exclaimed, glanced at the poisonous snake's body, and couldn't help but sigh.

This kind of snake has the strongest poison, if bitten, the venom will soon soak into the internal organs, and it is almost certain to die.

Fortunately, the man in black just shot fast enough, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Gu Zimo looked away from the dead snake with lingering fear, and was about to thank the man in black, but found that the man in black was no longer in front of him.

It was as if after the hurricane just passed, he disappeared without a trace along with the wind.

"What about people..."

Gu Zimo looked around to make sure that the man in black was really gone.

I feel a little lonely in my heart.

Before he could ask why he had such a weird feeling about that person, the person disappeared.

"I thanked that person just now, otherwise, if the poisonous snake attacked Mr. Gu, I am afraid that you would have died of poison at this moment..."

"Well, it's a pity that I haven't been able to find out who the benefactor is, and I have no idea to repay the favor."

Gu Zimo sighed, and the groom's face returned to normal, "Since the man left without saying goodbye just now, he must have left because of something urgent. Don't blame yourself, sir. If there is a chance to meet in the future, it's okay to talk about repaying your favor." Late……"

"Ah."

Gu Zimo nodded, and when he was about to get into the carriage, his foot suddenly slipped, as if he had stepped on some foreign object.

He raised his foot, looked down, and saw that it was a jade pendant.

Judging by the color of the jade pendant and the totem carved on it, it seems that there is a deep meaning.

"Is this jade pendant yours?"

Gu Zimo asked the groom.

The groom shook his head again and again, "This is not the villain's. The villain just remembered that when the man in black swung the inner force just now, there seemed to be a white light flying out of his sleeve... Could it be this jade pendant?"

"is his……"

Gu Zimo stared at the jade pendant carefully, but thought of the man's deep eyes.

"If he finds out that he has lost the jade pendant, he will be anxious..." Frowning, Gu Zimo said to the groom, "Did you see where he went just now?"

"Well, this person's qinggong is unpredictable, and the villain can't see clearly where he is heading... However, this place is not far from the prince's other courtyard, and the distance is dozens of miles away. The territory under the jurisdiction of the court, since this person can get here, he must know the prince, if you want to find out about this person, why don't you ask the prince?"

"It makes sense, you drive quickly, we will go back to the other courtyard."

Gu Zimo put the jade pendant away and got back into the carriage.

Back in the other courtyard, Gu Zimo took the clothes and almond cakes that Gao Wen had prepared for Gao Changgong, and went straight to Gao Changgong's room.

Knocked on the door, but there was no answer.

Gu Zimo's complexion darkened slightly, he stretched out his hand and pushed, and found that the door opened easily.

"Your Highness, I'm coming in..."

Walked in, but found that Gao Changgong was not inside.

"Where did you go, it's getting so late..."

Putting down the package, Gu Zimo exited the room. He planned to ask Huluxuda. Huluxuda had a lot of knowledge, so he might know the origin of the jade pendant.

Compared with Gao Changgong, Gu Zimo is more willing to talk about such things with Hu Luxuda.

After searching around, there was no sign of Hu Luxuda, and Gu Zimo's legs felt a little sore.

Looking up, the moonlight tonight is extremely beautiful.

The bright moonlight coated the entire courtyard with a layer of silvery white.

He inadvertently glanced in the direction of the Moon Tower.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, will Suda go to watch the moon?"

The pace under his feet couldn't help speeding up, and he ran towards the Moon Tower.

After climbing the steps of Moonwatching Tower, he gasped heavily, and sure enough, he saw two figures standing under the moonlight.

Two figures, one white and one gray, who else could it be if not Gao Changgong and Huluxuda?

"I will leave this matter to you."

"Promise, the general will be completely devastated!"

As if hearing the movement, Huluxuda turned his head and looked towards the entrance of Wangyue Tower. Seeing that it was Gu Zimo, Huluxuda's upright face was covered with a gentle smile in an instant, "Xiao Mo ? I knew you would definitely come back!"

Before Gu Zimo could answer, Gao Changgong interrupted with a cold voice: "Back off."

Hu Luxuda bowed and took a few steps back, "I will take my leave."

When he walked to Gu Zimo's side, Hu Luxuda winked and smiled maliciously.

Seeing that Huluxuda was about to leave, Gu Zimo pretended that he hadn't seen Gao Changgong, and prepared to leave with Huluxuda.

As soon as he turned around to go down the steps, Gao Changgong's voice came from behind him with an unclear tone: "Gu Zimo."

Being called on by name, Gu Zimo couldn't help but pretend to be stupid.

Looking back at Gao Changgong, he pretended to be innocent and said, "Your Highness... is there something wrong?"

"come over."

There was faint anger in Gao Changgong's voice.

Gu Zimo couldn't help feeling anxious, "I just saw the moonlight is extremely beautiful tonight, so I came here to have a look. In fact, I didn't mean to disturb His Highness and General Hulu's discussion..."

"Is it?"

"Yes, yes, it is like this..."

"Since you are here to admire the moon, what are you rushing to do?"

Although Gao Changgong didn't get angry, the majestic and oppressive Gu Zimo in his tone couldn't breathe.

"I just can't bear to disturb His Highness's peace..."

"Oh." Gao Changgong looked away from him lightly, and looked at the night sky with his narrow eyes, "If you have already disturbed the peace of this king, what should you do?"

"Your Highness, I really didn't mean it, I thought only General Hu Lu was here..."

"Are you looking for him?"

"Yes."

"What do you want him for?" Gao Changgong's voice sank, and the air was instantly filled with gunpowder.

"It's just a little personal matter of mine..."

After thinking about it, Gu Zimo still felt that Gao Changgong should be avoided regarding Yupei and the man in black.

After all, Gao Changgong is too difficult to get along with, if he learns that someone has come to his territory quietly, he doesn't know what will happen.

"Oh, your private business?" Gao Changgong's peerless face overflowed with a smile, but for some reason, Gu Zimo felt that such a smile made people shudder.

"me……"

"On the way back to the other courtyard today, did you encounter an assassin?"

Gu Zimo's eyes widened involuntarily, why did he know?

Could it be what the groom said?

But, he rushed here without stopping for a moment, and he didn't see the groom?

How did Gao Changgong know about it?

Glancing lightly at Gu Nianxing's hand holding the jade pendant, Gao Changgong suppressed the imperceptible worry in his words, and said indifferently: "Seeing that you are still in the mood to admire the moon, I think you are not hurt."
