General's Mansion Study Room

The sound of tea brewing came from the house, and the aroma of tea lingered, pure and pleasant.

The man's slender, jade-like fingers tapped on the table one after another, making a very regular clicking sound.

The owner of the hand is as beautiful as a crown jade, with a graceful grace. His slanted eyes are wrapped in a sense of indifference.

He explained important things concisely and concisely.

After hearing what he said, Mu Youde's thick black eyebrows knitted into a tight line and he opened his mouth to curse.

"I don't know if Prince Jing has any bastard who is willing to betray the Lord regardless of life or death. Fortunately, you have always acted secretly. If you are exposed again now, it will be unthinkable."

"Zhou Xu is no worse than you. I think it only takes a few days to find him."

Gu Huaizhi does not enter the court, but everyone is afraid of him. If the news that he has close personal contact with Zhou Xu spreads...

It's a small thing to cause panic, but it's true that all these years of planning have been in vain.

Gu Huaizhi glanced at him slowly.

"You scared me."

Mu Youde:......

It’s not you who’s being scolded!

A murderous little beast like you, even though you haven't left Lin'an in these years, you still have more violence in your body than him!!

Is it possible to say this kind of thing?

Gu Huaizhi sighed disapprovingly: "I am a coward."

Mu Youde:......

He stood up irritably and walked back and forth in front of Gu Huaizhi.

"Now that the matter has come to this, what should we do?"

Gu Huaizhi was about to respond, but his eyes paused and fell on a corner of the Huanghuali bookshelf. There was a strange-shaped jade stone.

The shape is weird, but the texture is transparent.

Gu Huaizhi has come into contact with a lot of jade, and he is considered an expert. Naturally, he knows that it is rare.

He squinted his eyes, and under Mu Youde's expectant look, he spoke with great dignity.

"Uncle Mu, give me a price for this piece of jade, I want it."

Mu Youde:???

Is it appropriate to talk about this now?

I ask you what to do, you buy jade from me?

Mu Youde couldn't explain it in words, but he also knew that Gu Huaizhi wore a jade finger ring every day: "I am a rough man and don't understand this. My nephew can just take it and negotiate the price."

He obviously still remembered that more than ten years ago, Gu Huaizhi asked for jade from him and the price was reasonable. This little bastard said that he looked down on him and the price was too high. He also boasted that he had killed him.

It’s very difficult!

Not to mention Gu Huaizhi now!

From the moment he arrived until now, Gu Huaizhi finally smiled.

"Since Uncle Mu insists on giving it, I can't refuse."

Mu Youde:......

Gu Huaizhi sat up slightly and finally got into shape: "In a few months, Zhou Xu will return to Lin'an and make arrangements in person."

Mu Youde paused and walked back and forth faster.

Gu Huaizhi said calmly: "Old Prince Qin is eyeing him, and his actions in the past few days have been quite big. He has also been stumbling upon Chi Zhang in private. He is a useful person."

Gu Huaizhi could only wait for these two people to fight to the death, and then he could take advantage of the situation and annihilate the surrounding forces that were watching from a distance in one fell swoop.

This dynasty, left and right, is just in their pocket.

Mu Youde said in a deep voice: "What do you want me to do?"

"Uncle Mu has been in Lin'an for a while. It's time to go to the palace to mention the matter of leaving for the frontier fortress."

Mu Youde narrowed his eyes: "Since the marriage plan failed, he has been unable to take away the military talisman. How can he agree to it because he is afraid of the Mu family's army?"

"It's up to him whether he agrees or not."

Mu Youde almost didn't react.

"what for."

"It's just a show to show him. If you don't mention it, it will make him suspicious."

Mu Youde frowned and cursed again.

"That shameless old bastard. Because of him, I became an actor!"

Gu Huaizhi looked pale and disapproving, holding the tea cup and rubbing its texture.

"Right now, there are still things that are top priority."

"What's the matter?"

Gu Huaizhi frowned.

"Move troops."

Under the noses of all the forces in Lin'an, deploying troops quietly was a major undertaking.

After talking about important matters, Gu Huaizhi did not intend to stay long. He straightened his clothes and prepared to leave with the jade.

Mu Youde couldn't help but tease him: "It's different after getting married. Why, are you planning to go back to accompany the bride?"

Gu Huaizhi never lags behind in speaking.

He looked directly into Mu Youde's eyes, looking like a young man, but what he said was completely different.

"Uncle Mu is really interested in what's going on in my room. Why, Mu Hansheng is still single at a very young age, so you can't do anything about it?"

As he spoke, he smiled and glanced at the small bed with pillows and quilts: "Or, you suffered a loss in front of Aunt Jiang again. You drove to the study to sleep. You were feeling uncomfortable, so you could only say...

Do you want to make fun of me?"

Mu Youde's face turned dark: "You kid never suffers!"

Gu Huaizhi straightened his robes, and then cupped his hands in a perfunctory manner: "It's really the fault of a junior to make Uncle Mu angry."

Mu Youde got a headache just looking at him.

Among these young people, they are all outstanding, but none of them is as thoughtful as Gu Huaizhi, who is hard to figure out and easy to dismiss.

Mu Youde was trying to get him to get out.

But the words that came to his mouth became a dry sentence: "Mu Hansheng, do you have any news?"

Gu Huaizhi was not surprised either. He just took a breath and lowered his head to look at the jade in his hand.

information?

His voice was light and cool: "He is your son, not my son."

Mu Youde:......

"Don't be careless about me, you are the most well-informed."

As he said this, a trace of confusion flashed across his face.

Then, he smiled bitterly: "When I asked him to make that choice, he actually still hates me in his heart. He calls me father openly and acts like a father and a son in front of my wife. But in the end, there is a layer of veil between me."

But he was the only one who knew that when Mu Hansheng called his father, there was no trace of admiration in his eyes.

Gu Huaizhi closed his eyes. He really didn't know what Mu Youde was talking to him about.

At this point, it would be nothing more than a tragedy to say too much.

But he remembered the way Mu Hansheng gritted his teeth and burst into tears that year.

In this matter, everyone is wrong, but no one is right.

However, Gu Huaizhi couldn't help but still felt grievances for Mu Hansheng, and his words were not polite: "At that time, he will only be a half-grown boy."

"But you used your own experience and ruthlessness on the battlefield to ask him to do things with your own hands that will cause him to be unable to sleep at night."

He raised his eyes, half smiling.

"That's a little too harsh."

As he said that, he looked at Mu Youde and said word by word: "This matter is a matter of the Mu family. It's not for me, a junior, to talk about it. But I have to mention that my aunt has been kept in the dark until now.

Things won't last long. You really should be prepared."

Mu Youde's steps were heavy, and his eyes suddenly felt a little sour.

He turned around and stood with his hands behind his back. His back also curved a bit, as if he had aged a few years all of a sudden.

"You go."

I don't know if I told it to Gu Huaizhi or to myself.
