Start by summoning Black Death Mou

Chapter 153 Surrounding
It rained even more.

On the third day after Gu Chen returned to the mansion, Heixinmou still failed to solve the core of the disaster. If the connection with Heixinmou was not still there, Gu Chen almost thought that something happened to him.

But if nothing happened, why did Hei Si Mou still fail to solve the core of the disaster after more than two days passed?
With Heishimu's strength, this shouldn't be the case, unless... he was tied up by something.

Gu Chen couldn't enter the magistrate's government office shrouded in black mist to investigate, so naturally he couldn't know what was going on inside. Everything now can only be guesswork.

"My lord, it's getting colder and colder, you have to pay attention to your health."

Gu Chen stood under the eaves watching the rain, behind him Liu Er held a thick fur cloak and draped it over Gu Chen.

Gu Chen exhaled slowly, and the light white mist spit out from his mouth, he turned his head and said to Liu Er with a smile:

"Thank you, Miss Liu'er."

"My lord, you are here again. This is Liu'er's job, so why bother to say thank you."

Liu Er responded with a smile, and then said:

"If you really want to say thank you, my lord, you should also go to thank Miss Tao."

"Sister Qianqian?"

"Well, this cloak is made by Miss Tao stitch by stitch."

Since Tao Qianqian moved to the Gu family, she has lived a reclusive life.

Because of Gu Chen's relationship, no one in the Gu family dared to bully her, and no one said anything about her identity.

Although the Tao family in Ningzhou wanted to take Tao Qianqian back, Gu Chen kicked all the Tao family back on the grounds of saying 'this is my fiancee'.

Are you kidding me? It was the Ningzhou Tao family who kicked Tao Yuan's family out. Now that Tao Qianqian is so highly valued by the Gu family, he wants to take him back with all his tongue?
There is nothing so good in the world.

Gu Chen has no feelings for the Tao family in Ningzhou, and he doesn't want his fiancée to be wronged. Maybe he has no romantic feelings for Tao Qianqian, but Tao Qianqian is his fiancee in name, and to insult her is to insult Gu Chen.

Gu Chen is a selfish person, so naturally he would not allow this kind of thing to happen.

"Sister Qianqian, should you be getting used to it?"

Speaking of Tao Qianqian, Gu Chen also remembered that he had indeed not had a good chat with her for some time.

Although they would meet each other on weekdays, they were both busy with their work, so they had much less time to talk, and they didn't know how Tao Qianqian was doing.

Liu Er said in a low voice:
"Miss Tao has come out of her grief, and the servants in the mansion also treat her like the master's lady. I heard that she has become close friends with Miss Ningyu..."

"That's good."

Gu Ningyu, Gu Chengliang's second daughter, is 17 years old and is Gu Chen's cousin.

She has the capriciousness of a young lady, and when Gu Chen first came, she was also the one who was most dissatisfied.

But as long as Gu Chengli didn't deliberately guard against it, no one in this world could escape Gu Chen's super power.

But in just half a day, Gu Ningyu became a brother-in-law just like Gu Qianjun. She also cared about her brother's fiancée, and would always go to Tao Qianqian on weekdays to greet her.

With Gu Ningyu's company, Tao Qianqian came out of the sadness faster.

It's just...Dan'an City has now become Dan'an Town. Although the Tao family is located in the core of Dan'an City, at this rate, it is only a matter of time before the Tao family and Dan'an City disappear together.

I don't know how much Tao Qianqian will remember.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen couldn't help raising his head to look at the sky.

The bad rain and the existence of the disaster also made Gu Chen feel bad. At this moment, he even had a thought that if Hei Simou could come back safely this time, he would no longer participate in these messy things. Opening a small shop in a small town is better than worrying about it here.

Speaking of staying in the Gu family, the reason was that my identity was difficult to handle. If I escaped, I would easily be regarded as a fugitive. I didn't know what to do when I left the Gu family, so I stayed in the Gu family.

Now Gu Chen doesn't have these troubles. The increase in likes and dislikes allows Gu Chen to go wherever he goes without worrying about being hostile. Even if he leaves the Gu family, he doesn't have to worry about survival.

So from this point of view, there is really no need for him to stay in the Gu family.

The only trouble is that Gu Chen needs the death stone to replenish energy for his summoning formation, and the search for the death stone requires his own development.

To develop power, you have to deal with the power class in this world. Once you deal with these people, you will cause a lot of trouble. At that time, you might as well stay in the Gu family.

At least the Gu family is indeed powerful.

Standing under the eaves and watching the rain for a while, Gu Chen was about to go back to his room when a housekeeper ran over to report and said:

"Master Ning Shun, the master wants to hold a clan meeting, so I want Master Ning Shun to go there."

"Understood, I'll go right away."

Nodding to the housekeeper, Gu Chen exhaled, and wearing a plush cloak, brought Liu'er and Jiebiao Danxi to the conference hall.

The family meeting that the steward said was a regular family meeting.

The various management levels of the Gu family will report their recent earnings and future plans.

This regular meeting is held every ten to twenty days. This is the second time for Gu Chen to participate. The last time he participated, Gu Chen obtained control of the waterway from Gu Chengliang.

During this regular meeting, Gu Chen thought that he should have nothing to do. The rain was getting heavier, and the river would definitely not be able to sail. business up.

In fact, it was not much different from Gu Chen's guess.

Now that everyone in the Gu family is taking care of Gu Chen very much, no one will interfere with Gu Chen's affairs. All matters related to water are handled by Gu Chen. will say something.

But it's not that everything has nothing to do with Gu Chen, at least one thing has something to do with Gu Chen.

"Xingqi, since you're back, you won't be able to return to the capital for a while, so you should stay by Ning Shun's side and help him handle business."

At the meeting, Gu Chengliang said to Gu Jiangwen.

Gu Jiangwen made such a fuss when he came back, but nothing came of it. After making up for his father's etiquette and keeping a filial piety for seven days, Gu Jiangwen was able to take over some less important family businesses.

For the sake of Gu Jiangwen being Gu Chen's elder brother, Gu Chengliang put him in this position.

It's just that as soon as Gu Chengliang finished speaking, some people were a little reluctant.

It's Gu Qianjun.

"Patriarch, Xingqi is a person who reads the books of sages and sages. I am afraid that he has not had much contact with business affairs. If he is with Ning Shun, he may have to take care of him instead. Patriarch, you should change his position."

Gu Qianjun is serious, with a businesslike attitude.

But when he looked at Gu Jiangwen's hostile eyes, he could see his real thoughts.

Gu Qianjun has already regarded Gu Chen as his own younger brother, and has become a real brother-in-law. He cares about Gu Chen very much.

So when he heard that Gu Chen's elder brother, that is, Gu Jiangwen, had returned from the capital, he immediately rushed back from Dan'an City.

That's right, the real reason why Gu Qianjun returned to Ningzhou City was not because there was no development in Dan'an City, but because he heard the news that Gu Chen's brother had returned.

Thinking of Gu Chen's previous illegitimate child status, Gu Qianjun was worried that Gu Chen would be bullied, and also worried that Gu Chen would forget his righteous brother when he had a real brother, so he hurried back and met Gu Chen on the way.

So now that Gu Chengliang wanted to arrange Gu Jiangwen by Gu Chen's side, Gu Qianjun was the first to refuse.

After Gu Qianjun finished speaking, before the owner could speak, Gu Jiangwen looked at Gu Qianjun with an unfriendly expression and asked:
"Brother Ziyi, why do you say that I will cause trouble for Ning Shun!"

Gu Qianjun sneered and said:

"Didn't you cause Ning Shun any trouble? Let's not talk about it, just say that when Ning Shun was in your Dan'an Gu family, didn't you bully Ning Shun?"

"I--!"

Gu Jiangwen was startled, and was speechless immediately.

Seeing him like this, Gu Qianjun knew it was true, and immediately said with anger and disdain:

"Back then, Ning Shun was bullied by your family. Now that Ning Shun has managed to get ahead and is valued by the Patriarch and the clan elders, you have to 'work tirelessly' to come back from the capital to cause trouble for Ning Shun.

"It can be seen from this that if you are by Ning Shun's side, let alone helping Ning Shun, if you don't hold Ning Shun back, you have the ability!"

"you you--!"

Gu Qianjun said a lot, but Gu Jiangwen couldn't say anything under his injustice.

And listening to the quarrel between the two, Gu Chengliang was also a little embarrassed.

Although Gu Jiangwen's behavior during this period was fairly normal and he didn't bully Gu Chen much, but after all, this guy has learned from the past, and he was really bad to Gu Chen when he was in Dan'an Gu's house. Thinking about it this way, he arranged Gu Jiangwen by Gu Chen's side , is somewhat inappropriate.

But what to do depends on Gu Chen's decision.

Thinking of this, Gu Chengliang looked at Gu Chen who had been drinking tea and watching a play, and asked:
"Ning Shun, what do you think?"

Gu Chen took a sip of hot tea to warm his body, then looked at Gu Jiangwen who was so angry that he was shaking all over, and Gu Qianjun who was sneering at the side, couldn't help but sighed and said:

"Brother Xingqi did treat me badly before."

"That……"

Gu Chengliang was about to change his mind and make a decision, so he heard Gu Chen continue:

"But that was the past after all. I believe brother Xingqi should change it now, and I also believe that he will not cause me any trouble, so let him stay by my side for a while as uncle said."

As soon as Gu Chen said this, Gu Qianjun couldn't help frowning, but Gu Jiangwen looked at Gu Chen very moved, his eyes were slightly red and he was about to shed tears.

If this matter ends here, the Gu family may still spread good words about Gu Chen getting along with his elder brother regardless of past suspicions.

But just at the time when the atmosphere was harmonious, disharmonious shouts came from outside.

The old butler of the Gu family ran in in a panic under the heavy rain, and before Gu Chengliang could question him, the butler fell to his knees and shouted:

"Master, it's too bad, outside... there are a group of officers and soldiers surrounding the Gu family!!"

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
