One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 324 Gu Shuang
The lights in the room flickered, and Gu Yong withdrew his gaze and acted in an inaction.

"Secretary Mei is joking, how dare a pariah in Xiaoke be unreasonable with the official body, it is because the request made by Secretary Mei is not about Gu, but involves the whole clan. Although Gu is the patriarch, he does not have such rights. !"

Su He rolled his eyes and felt that at this time, Yan Qingzhi should be called up and asked his children to teach Gu Yong how to be a good person.

It's a pity that he proposed it just now, but Gu Yong rejected it.

So he was full of anger now, waiting to see how Mei Heng dealt with this man.

It's just that Mei Heng was always indifferent, not annoyed at all.

"Then when did Senior Gu summon the elders of the clan to discuss a charter?"

Gu Yong laughed and said perfunctory words.

"It's not urgent. There are 23 members of my ancient family, and some of them are still in the village. It will take some time to call them back. Envoy Mei Si has traveled a long distance. Compared with the fatigue of the journey, it is better to calm down and rest first. In two days, this old man sent people to inform the clan elders... What do you think?"

The elder, Su He's face pulled, leaned there and looked at Gu Yong's hypocritical perfunctory Mei Heng.

However, he didn't open his mouth. Mei Heng was able to take the position of the Zuo envoy at a young age, so he couldn't be a fool. Su He's rash words might be a disservice.

What's more, Su He still had some doubts about the Corpse Control Sect, but Mei Heng didn't give him much chance to speak on the road, and he didn't find out anything important.

This opportunity Gu Yong used to embarrass Mei Heng was also a good time for Su He to investigate some matters in the Gu family.

"Senior Gu has his own reasons, and this official will not interfere. However, this official also has to remind you that Senior Su captured a group of people from the Corpse Control Sect a few days ago. The news is probably leaked!"

Gu Yong didn't care too much when he heard this. The news leaked what it had to do with him. He was not the previous patriarch, and he let Su He ride on the head.

What about the Corpse Controlling Sect, the Corpse Controlling Sect has existed for 30 to [-] years, as long as there is no evidence, who knows that it has something to do with their ancient family!

When Mei Heng heard this, he also acted indifferent.

"Then I will trouble Senior Gu for a while!"

Su He's eyes spread on Mei Heng and Gu Yong, and he didn't open his mouth to clear the siege, but just followed Gu Xiu downstairs.

When Su He and Mei Heng came downstairs, Yan Qingzhi realized that something was wrong. She wanted to remind Mei Heng, but after glancing at Gu Rong not far away, she chose to remain silent and just walked to Su He's side. , reached out and tugged at Su He's sleeve.

Su He nodded slightly, looked at Gu Xiu and said.

"The old man has known you elders for many years. This time, I brought the junior here. It's time to meet me. You can go and greet the messenger."

Gu Xiu didn't stop Su He. She knew a lot about Su He, and she also knew a lot about the origin of Su He and the Gu family. She also knew very well that she couldn't stop who Su He wanted to find. It's better to leave it to Gu Rong or Gu Yong to get rid of the headache.

"Senior Su, please."

Gu Xiu let the door open, allowing Su He to come and go freely.

However, as soon as she stepped aside, Mei Heng said.

"Senior Su, some of the elders in this official's family are familiar with the first elder. Since you are going to visit, Mei, as a junior, can't be less polite, so why not go with you."

Yan Qingzhi couldn't understand Mei Heng's purpose, she just pursed her lips and looked at Su He with a little urgency in her eyes.

Su He looked at Mei Heng, and then at Gu Xiu. Gu Xiu smiled and stretched out his hand, indicating that this was their freedom and that he would not care about it.

Seeing this, Su He nodded and agreed.

"If that's the case, then the messenger will go with the old man!"

Xuanwei of Tianjing Division stood behind Mei Heng one by one, and quickly lifted Mei Heng from the wheelchair. When they were about to carry the wheelchair, Yan Qingzhi stepped forward and lifted the wheelchair with one hand. When she got up, she exerted force on the lower plate, and she carried the heavy wheelchair on her shoulders.

Although everyone in Tianjing Division had heard that Su Qing was extremely powerful, they only heard that Yan Qingzhi had been acting like an ordinary martial artist all the way, so that they almost forgot his reputation.

Xuanwei of Tianjing Division was a little panicked, and subconsciously reached out to take down the wheelchair.

They are not afraid of bothering others, but because Mei Heng's wheelchair has many organs, they are afraid that Yan Qingzhi will take advantage of this gap.
Yan Qingzhi certainly understood what they were thinking, but right now was not the time to care about them.

Mei Heng also sat on the chair behind Xuanwei and said.

"I'm tired!"

As soon as they heard that Mei Heng did not refuse, the rest of the Tianjing Division did not object.

Yan Qingzhi nodded, did not go to the door, but kicked open a window, carrying the wheelchair directly through the window.

Gu Rong: ...

Gu Xiu:  …

Su He:  …

However, Su He, who knew Yan Qingzhi's temper, said it immediately.

"This child is always so anxious, let's go!"

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

Xuanwei, who was guarding the wheelchair from the Tianjing Division, was also anxious to go downstairs to see the wheelchair, and walked faster.

Gu Xiu followed indifferently and waited until everyone from Tianjing Division walked out before turning to ask Gu Rong.

"Aren't you going to follow?"

Gu Rong's face was a little ugly, let alone Su He's greatness, the juniors he brought out were all so great, the thought of his nephew being so incompetent when he died, the hatred in his heart grew stronger!
"What am I going to do! The old lady Gu Shuang and Su He are unclear. They haven't given me a good face for so many years. It's not enough for Su He to run against me alone. I have to let them both run against me!"

The resentment in Gu Rong's heart spewed out, and madly sprayed at Gu Xiu, the junior.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu's face was not very good-looking, but because of his affection, it was not easy to criticize the elders. He pursed his lips, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Gu Rong's mood immediately worsened!

"What attitude, I don't know how to say hello to the elders when I leave..."

Seeing him like this, all the people following him shrank their heads like quails, leaving Gu Rong alone in the air.

That Yan Qingzhi jumped down from the upstairs, put the wheelchair on the ground, and waited for Su He and the others to come downstairs before she spoke.

"Let's go! There's something wrong here."

Su He led a group of people towards the river behind the village, while asking Yan Qingzhi what was unusual.

"There is a problem with the patrol trajectory in this village. It is different from when we came here. At first I thought it was an outsider who came in. They adjusted the frequency of patrols, but I saw that the people who were on patrol three times missed their time. , but the people here are not even the slightest alert..."

"If these people weren't evacuated by them, they couldn't come over for other reasons!"

The Gu family's village is not a small village. There are about tens of thousands of people living next to each other here. Before Da Zhao was established, it was almost the same as the population of a city. How could there be no one to patrol at night in such a place.

Even if it is all the people of the family, it is necessary to maintain order!

Yan Qingzhi followed Gu Xiu all the way, and she heard several groups of voices, each of which consisted of [-] people, that is to say, there were at least dozens of people on patrol that she heard in one night.

But these dozens of people are gone now!
Is it reasonable that there are guests, but the patrolling people are gone?
If it wasn't for an accident, then somewhere these people were hiding and preparing to ambush them!

Yan Qingzhi didn't know what to do more reasonably, so now he can only tell Su He the problem, and he is more familiar with this place.

Su He didn't speak, and patted Yan Qingzhi on the shoulder, the meaning was self-evident, so she quickly followed.

Yan Qingzhi turned to look at Xuanwei of Tianjing Division behind him, raised his hand, lifted Mei Heng's wheelchair, and caught up with Su He in a few steps.

The group hurriedly bypassed the wooden building, and before they walked too far, they heard dense and frequent footsteps moving towards this side.

Su He frowned and hurriedly greeted everyone.

"Come on, someone is surrounded!"

He is not actually afraid of the Gu family, but Yan Qingzhi and Mei Heng are behind him, and the Gu family's attack methods are too strange, sometimes martial arts can't even protect themselves!
Yan Qingzhi didn't need to tell him, the whole person was carrying a big boxy wheelchair and ran forward top-heavy.

Seeing this, everyone from Tianjing Division quickly caught up.

They walked around an alley in a few steps, and just when those people came around, they came to another alley.

Not all houses in the village have high walls. Su He showed Yan Qingzhi the way, and Yan Qingzhi took the lead, jumping over the wall and taking him away. As long as he heard footsteps, he would find a way to escape.

With her leading the way, everyone shuttled through this densely populated village, but they didn't meet a single one.

After a while, they stood in front of a small courtyard.

The walls of the small courtyard are all neatly stacked with square stones, and the walls are very high. Yan Qingzhi was about to turn over when he was stopped by Su He.

"It has arrived!"

After speaking, Su He walked up and knocked on the door.

As soon as he knocked on the door, an old voice came from inside.

"But Uncle Su?"

This 'uncle' is not the kind of calling someone's elders, but the eldest son of someone's family.

Yan Qingzhi was stunned for a moment. She had heard a lot of names for Su He, senior, uncle, grandfather, this was the first time she heard such... a young and fashionable name.

Su He's expression didn't change, and he responded immediately.

"Afu, it's me!"

The door was immediately opened, and a short, squat old lady was standing at the door with a lantern.

The quaint lantern was painted with bright red hibiscus flowers, but it was too old, it looked a little faded, and the petals were not so clear.

Paper lanterns are not uncommon in Da Zhao, but most of them are found in the homes of people who cannot afford wind lanterns. There are not many people who use paper lanterns.

Yan Qingzhi looked away from the paper lantern and looked into the dark yard. She seemed to sense her gaze. The old lady who was called 'Afu' by Su He also looked at Yan Qingzhi, and then Seeing the wheelchair that Yan Qingzhi was carrying on her shoulders, she was immediately surprised.

"This... this child's strength... is too great! Put it down quickly!"

Saying that, he quickly stepped aside and let the crowd in.

Su He walked in front, Yan Qingzhi followed behind with a wheelchair, and the people from Tianjing Division followed, and finally Gu Xiu, who respectfully saluted the old lady.

"Second aunt and mother-in-law."

As soon as the old lady saw Gu Xiu, she followed, and turned to look at Su He.

But she didn't see Su He when she turned her head, only saw a group of people from Tianjing Division surrounding the wheelchair and put a young man on the wheelchair.

Just as the old lady was distracted, Gu Xiu had passed her by and walked into the yard.

The old lady just came to her senses. It was too late to say what she wanted to say. She was a junior from the same clan, and she was not good at driving people out. direction.

The lantern illuminated a small area. The old lady had normal eyesight, and she narrowed her eyes and got closer, only to feel that the person in front of her seemed a little familiar.

She also murmured in her mouth.

"This little girl looks familiar!"

Hearing her words, Yan Qingzhi, who was standing with his hips on his side, couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

At this time, Tianjing Si Xuanwei, who was beside Mei Heng, also looked at Yan Qingzhi with some indescribable words.

Hearing the old lady's words, Mei Heng's eyes flashed a little deep, and his usual smile appeared on his face.

"It is said that I look like my mother in seven or eight ways. Maybe my mother-in-law has seen my mother before."

Only when the old lady heard Mei Heng's voice did she understand what Yan Qingzhi was laughing at just now. She was also a little embarrassed.

"Perhaps! Maybe! A few here, please."

Han Sheng pushed Mei Heng's wheelchair and walked in front, while Xuan Wei and Gu Xiu of Tianjing Division followed behind.

And Yan Qingzhi followed Su He unsurprisingly and went in another direction.

The village outside became more and more quiet, and the chirping of insects and birds seemed to be inaudible. After a brief relaxation, Yan Qingzhi recalled the current situation, and said to Su He a little worriedly.

"Uncle, why is this ancient family so strange? It seems that there are many secrets."

Su He's eyebrows were also worried.

"There are indeed a lot of secrets here. I'm afraid this trip will not end well!"

Yan Qingzhi didn't quite understand what he meant. The two walked through the front hall and all the way to the back yard. The yard here is very big and there are a lot of things in the sun.

There are no small buildings behind, only a row of tall houses.

There are no doors and windows in the house, only dark blue earth cloth curtains, embroidered with many insect patterns, the atmosphere of the insect pattern embroidery is solemn, and there is no feeling of cold and evil.

There are lanterns hanging under the eaves at the door of the room, all of which are similar to the old lady named 'Afu', who are holding in her hands, but if you look closely, you can see the difference, it should be a set.

Hearing the footsteps of two people outside, the curtain was lifted by the people inside, and another gray-haired old woman stood at the door.

The old woman was about 60 years old, very energetic, with a dark complexion, her hair was tied in a neat bun behind her head, and was fixed with a silver hairpin.

She was wearing indigo blue trousers with wide sleeves and wide legs, with a three-inch wide snakeskin bag tied around her waist, and a lot of odds and ends and bottles and jars hung on her belt.

Just as Yan Qingzhi looked at her, her attention was all on Su He.

It was obvious that the other party was not too young, but it was strange that when she looked at Su He, Yan Qingzhi felt the cowardice of a young girl on her body.

"Brother Su."
