Chapter 185: If I say you have the aura of a king, then you have the aura of a king!
"Who?"
Gu Jianmen stood up suddenly and looked towards the door with eyes as sharp as knives.
"call out!"
But in the blink of an eye, Wen Yanzhao appeared in front of Gu Jianmen.
He looked at the still unruly Master Lingyun and said teasingly:
"Hey, isn't this Ling Yunkuang, one of the Eight Young Masters of Beili? Didn't you just say you wanted to beat me up?"
Gu Jianmen was stunned. How could he have expected that Wen Yanzhao's movements would be so ghostly and lightning-fast that he would appear in front of him from outside the courtyard in just a moment.
Li Suli stood next to Gu Jianmen, his mouth wide open:
"Wen...Wen...Wen Yanzhao!"
Gu Jianmen took a step back, somewhat stunned:
"Wen Yanzhao...what are you doing in Chaisang City?"
Wen Yanzhao was not polite either. He sat down on the other side of Gu Jianmen, grabbed the pot of wine he had just opened and started drinking.
After drinking, I burped:
"Uh……"
"Don't say that. I traveled 1,500 to 1,600 miles from Tianqi City by day and night, and it took me two days to get to your Chaisang City."
"Can you please arrange something for us to eat or drink? We're old acquaintances after all!"
Gu Jianmen glanced at the remaining wine he had just drunk, feeling a little embarrassed:
"Ah this..."
But he remembered that he hadn't touched his mouth, so he quickly returned to normal and said to Li Suli beside him:
"Li Suli, go make the arrangements. Bring some more wine. Master Wen and I will get drunk today!"
Li Suli placed the Yuexue Sword on the table and bowed:
"As you command, rest a moment, sir. I'll make the arrangements right away!"
……
By the time the two of them sat down at the table and drank and chatted, the sky outside was gradually getting dark.
"Are my brothers and the others okay? By the way, did you tease Lei Lao Er again?"
Gu Jianmen picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then asked.
Wen Yanzhao was stuffed like a hamster, mumbling:
"What? I'm not interested in teasing him... Your senior brothers are all very nice, and, let me tell you..."
"My cousin is now your junior apprentice brother. He is Mr. Li's last disciple!"
"And then... I have to say this, your braised beef is really good. Remember to give me two pounds when you leave. I'll go back and make it with some Crane's Beak Red sauce. It will definitely go well with wine even better than it does now..."
As he spoke, Wen Yanzhao took out some bottles and jars from his sleeves and poured out various colorful medicinal powders into the bone dish in front of him.
Under the watchful eyes of Gu Jianmen and Li Suli, he mixed the beef, then picked up the plate and shoveled it all into his mouth!
With just one sentence, Li Suli, who was drinking next to him, was frightened so much that her face turned pale.
Gu Jianmen had heard about Wen Yanzhao's use of poison to cultivate his skills for a long time, but he was shocked when he saw the live version today.
"You mean Baili Dongjun? He actually became Master's last disciple..."
"I've long noticed he has the aura of a natural warrior. It's hard to describe this feeling!"
Gu Jianmen said as he poured himself a full glass of wine.
Wen Yanzhao swallowed what he had just eaten and said with a smile:
"Of course, don't you see whose cousin he is?"
"But Jian San, what did you feel when you first saw me?"
Gu Jianmen frowned and looked at Wen Yanzhao, whose mouth was full of oil, and slowly uttered a sentence:
"It's hard to comment!"
……
After the banquet, the two sat opposite each other in the pavilion in the yard and played chess.
"My master left Tianqi?"
Gu Jianmen played black first and asked after making his move.
Wen Yanzhao, playing white, placed his piece a few squares away from Gu Jianmen's black piece:
"Yes, and he also gave up the position of Jijiu. Before leaving, he went to the palace and scared old boy Xiao Chongjing half to death!"
"Eh? Didn't Lei Er write to you about these things? Aren't you two the best of friends?"
Gu Jianmen's black spots fell again:
"Humph! Lei Lao Er doesn't have time. The last time he wrote to you was when you guys just arrived in Tianqi City."
"Why is my master trying to scare the Emperor? Is that Emperor Tai'an causing trouble for my master again?"
"When I was in the academy, my master often said that if it weren't for Emperor Tianwu, he would have beaten Xiao Chongjing up!"
Wen Yanzhao smiled and said:
"You're right, that emperor is becoming increasingly unpopular...your master should have slapped him to death!"
"Last time, I rescued Ye Dingzhi from the palace and even had a fight with that damn eunuch under his command, but unfortunately, he escaped..."
"Don't just stand there, it's your turn!"
Gu Jianmen blocked Wen Yanzhao's way with a black piece, and then asked:
"You mean Zhuoqing? Not Old Wen... Can you fight him head-on now? Come on, the last time you came here, you had just broken through to the Fuyao realm..."
Wen Yanzhao Baizi tore another hole from Gu Jianmen's hand, and he curled his lips and said:
"Your Gu family is considered the most powerful family in Southwest China. How come you are so out of touch with the news?"
"Have you not even heard of my reputation as the Poison Sword Immortal? Look at the cloak behind me..."
As he said this, he turned around to show it to Gu Jianmen, only to find that he had changed his clothes.
Wen Yanzhao could only sigh: "Okay! I'm going out to change clothes today, I'll see next time!"
Taking advantage of the moment when Wen Yanzhao turned around, Gu Jianmen moved his wrist and stole one of Wen Yanzhao's white pieces on the chessboard.
Wen Yanzhao returned his attention to the chessboard. As soon as he placed a white piece, Gu Jianmen laughed and said,
"Hehe... I won!! Four consecutive moves! Wen Yanzhao, admit defeat, you're dead!"
Wen Yanzhao was startled, and when he looked carefully, he saw that there was indeed a row of four black pieces connected on the chessboard!
"Damn it! Gu Jianmen, did you steal one of my chess pieces? I remember I blocked you here!"
"Who stole your chess piece? I, Gu Jianmen, am not that kind of person. I admit defeat and drink!"
"Even if you stole my chess piece, you are still the head of the Gu family. Isn't that shameful?"
"Wen Yanzhao, you can't afford to lose, right? Drink quickly!"
The two young men were arguing with each other, making it very lively. Li Suli, who was serving on the side, couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
At this moment, a panicked man suddenly rushed in from outside:
"Master, Master!"
Gu Jianmen was struggling with Wen Yanzhao. When he heard the man's shout, he immediately let go of Wen Yanzhao's collar and his expression suddenly changed:
"Gu Shaogeng? Why did you come to Chaisang from Luofu Mountain? What's going on?"
The man called Gu Shaogeng wiped the sweat off his face and said anxiously:
"Master, something big has happened!"
"The two copper mines and one lead mine in Luofu Mountain and Dage Town have all been sealed by the government!"
"And the bank in the south of Chaisang City. Manager Sun and several of his employees were all arrested by them!"
Gu Jianmen's eyes instantly turned blood red when he heard that. He suddenly flashed in front of Gu Shaogeng, and a white chess piece fell out of his sleeve.
"Gu Shaogeng, please explain clearly why his government sealed off our Gu family's mines and arrested our Gu family members?"
Wen Yanzhao glanced at the white piece on the ground and cursed in his heart:
"Gu Jianmen, you stole my white pieces and made me lose the game!"
While Wen Yanzhao was secretly cursing Gu Jianmen in his heart, Gu Shaogeng also explained everything about Luofu Mountain and Dage Town to Gu Jianmen.
It turns out that Gu Shaogeng is a distant branch of the Gu family. He is four years older than Gu Jianmen, but in terms of seniority, he is still Gu Jianmen's nephew.
Because he was sincere and quick-witted, he had been working for the Gu family in the mine when Gu Luoli was in charge of the Gu family.
The two copper mines in Luofu Mountain are the largest copper veins in the entire Southwest Road, and even in the entire Beili.
The lead mine in Dage Town can also be regarded as the largest lead mine in Southwest Road.
Ever since Xue Daocheng from the government office suffered a setback at the hands of Gu Jianmen, he has been following the advice of his disciple, Master Zhang.
They joined forces with the Ying family, who lived in Luofeng City, another important town in the southwest road, to frame the Gu family.
The Ying family of Luofeng City has a considerable background. The youngest daughter of the Ying family, Ying Xian, serves as the commander of the guards in the Prince Qing's Palace.
Yingxian's cousin Yingshu was the concubine that Prince Qing took in earlier years, but she was weak and sickly and died of illness a few years ago.
Prince Qing was extremely fond of this concubine, and he never took another princess after Ying Shu's death.
Therefore, the Ying family, which was originally a small local family, relied on the protection of King Qing and grew step by step into a large family in the southwest road second only to the Gu and Yan families.
Ying Xian is brave and Ying Shu is gentle, both of them can be regarded as good daughters of the Ying family.
The Ying family only has a young son, Ying Tianxi, who relies on the fact that Prince Qing Xiao Xie is his brother-in-law and acts recklessly, even ignoring the local government official and the prefect.
This time, Gu Jianmen did not give the prefect Xue Daocheng a good face, causing his plan to make up for the deficit in the name of collecting taxes to fail.
Xue Daocheng followed Master Zhang's advice and went to the Ying family in Luofeng City that day with generous gifts to visit Ying Tianxi.
As soon as he saw the prefect, he bowed and nodded to him, and also gave him a blood coral that was more than three feet tall.
Ying Tianxi naturally agreed, and under the name of his brother-in-law Xiao Xie, he temporarily found a Feng Shui master from Luofeng City.
After taking a look with a compass, he insisted that several mines in Luofu Mountain and Dage Town had royal aura!
The two mines must be razed to the ground and a palace in the southwest road must be built for King Qing.
Xue Daocheng did not neglect it either. He directly ordered the local thousand households to send hundreds of soldiers to drive out the miners and seal all three mines of the Gu family with a piece of paper!
At that time, the shopkeeper Sun of Gu family's brocade shop was in Dage Town. He could not bear it any longer and said a few fair words, but was beaten up by Ying Tianxi. He also asked Xue Daocheng to bring people to lock him and several of his employees in the government prison.
After listening to Gu Shaogeng's narration, Gu Jianmen's eyes almost burst out with anger!
"Xue Daocheng, Ying Tianxi! I, Gu Jianmen, will not be a human being if I don't kill these two villains with my sword!"
