Chapter 187

"This alley is...?"

Danzo looked at the alley in front of him, and couldn't help frowning.

The Anbu members on the side compared the alleys next to them and said:
"This... there was no such alley before this."

"No?"

"Yes! Master Danzo, we are sure that this alley did not exist here before! I and others have checked it many times."

Anbu members explained.

In order to ensure Gu Chen's safety, these Anbu members had already checked the surroundings several times, including the patrol route, which was also determined after the inspection.

If there was a closer, easier route to patrol, they certainly wouldn't miss it.

So it is now almost certain that this alley did not exist before this.

"It seems that he should have gone wrong."

Danzo came to a conclusion.

The two alleys are almost the same from the outside, if you are not familiar with the roads in the capital, it is easy to go wrong.

Even Danzo was stunned at the beginning, not knowing which way to go, let alone the Anbu members who had just come here to perform a mission.

Although this was considered a major mistake at work, Danzo was not in the mood to worry about it at the moment. He looked at the alley in front of him and summoned a mountain vine familiar from the city of Eternal Night with spiritism, making the animal-like The familiar enters the alley to explore.

The Anbu member who strayed into it didn't know the specific situation. The alley revealed a kind of weirdness from the inside to the outside. Danzo is not a reckless person, so naturally he won't let people enter to explore.

Since there are more useful 'Spiritual Beasts', of course it is more appropriate to let 'Spiritual Beasts' go in and explore.

What Danzo didn't expect was that when the psychic beast entered the alley, the alley in front of him disappeared like an illusion, leaving only an earthen wall in front of him.

"!"

Danzo's pupils shrank, and his fists could not help but clenched.

He stood there and waited for a long time, but he didn't see the alley come out. After pondering for a while, he said to the Anbu members:
"Go, circle around, and come back."

"Yes."

The members of the Anbu responded, and the group walked around in a large circle before returning to the earth wall.

But there was no trace of the alley.

"Go around again."

Danzo continued to order, and everyone began to repeat the process.

It was not until the third lap that Danzo and the others saw the alley leading to nowhere again.

"..."

Everyone fell silent, and the Anbu members looked up at Danzo, waiting for Danzo's order.

Danzo took a deep look at the alley in front of him, and ordered to his subordinates:

"Go, report the location to someone from Pinghu Division, and say there is something weird here."

"Eh?"

The Anbe members were stunned.

Report to Pinghu Division?Shouldn't this matter be handled by them?

Danzo seemed to see the mind of this Anbu member, glanced at him and asked:
"What? You want to go in and find someone?"

"! This subordinate is going to Pinghu Division!"

The Anbu member shook his body, turned around and left without any hesitation.

This alley is so weird that even the psychic beasts put in by Danzo disappeared and couldn't be summoned back. If they Anbu rushed in, it would probably be the end of life or death.

So since Danzang has said that Pinghu Division should handle it, it should be reported directly to Pinghu Division.

Professional matters still have to be left to professionals, and amateurs who don't have rare treasures and magic weapons will not join in.

After the Anbu member left, Danzo issued new orders to the other Anbu members.

The patrol route here remains unchanged, but be careful to avoid the alleys, and give up this patrol route after Pinghu Si comes.

And Danzo is trying to find a way to report this matter to Gu Chen.

.........

In the private room of the restaurant, Gu Chen, Gu Chengye and the second uncle whom he hadn't seen for a long time exchanged drinks.

Since he was underage, Gu Chen used tea instead of wine, while the other two drank to their heart's content.

Gu Chengye sat next to Gu Chen, and the seat opposite them was Gu Chen's second uncle, Gu Chengan.

He had a thin face, with an old beard on his chin, and he looked rather haggard. When his eyes fell on Gu Chen, he was a bit complicated.

Originally, he also came from the main family, and like Gu Chengye and others, he was a child of the Gu family of the Chengzi generation.

But later, because his elder brother Gu Chengping made a mistake, he was dispatched to Dan'an City by the master to open up a branch of the family. Gu Chengan also followed him, and then tried to go to Beijing to catch the exam and successfully passed the official position.

Although this is also borrowing the power of the Gu family, Gu Chengan himself still has some skills.

At least according to what Bao Chengye said, he is much better than that brother who sees small profits but forgets righteousness.

Gu Chen had met Gu Chengan a few times before. When he was in Dan'an Gu's house, Gu Chengan would come back every major festival.

This is one of the few people in the Gu family who treats Gu Chen fairly well. At least when he comes back, he will always give candies to all the children of the Gu family without discrimination.

Including Gu Chen.

Now when they meet again, the uncle and nephew are speechless.

When Gu Chengan heard the news of his brother's death, he was busy with the affairs of the court and couldn't come back. After that, the Gu family in Dan'an City was taken over by Gu Chen, and everything was handled properly by Gu Chen, so Gu Chengan had no reason to come back.

Now meeting Gu Chen, Gu Cheng'an was full of words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word. In the end, he just let out a long sigh and drank the wine in his glass.

"Sixth brother has worked hard in this capital for the past six months."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Gu Chengye spoke to Gu Chengan.

Gu Chengan shook his head and said, "There's nothing to do, it's all for... the imperial court."

Gu Chengye smiled and said:
"It's good that the sixth brother has this level of awareness."

After finishing speaking, Gu Chengye paused, and then said:
"Look at me, it's hard for me to come out to talk and chat. I always talk about these things. Sixth brother and Ning Shun haven't seen each other for a long time. If you two talk a little more, I won't join in. "

"... Ning Shun."

Gu Chengan read Gu Chen's words, raised his head and looked at Gu Chen with complicated eyes.

He didn't know what happened to the Gu family, and he didn't even know what happened to the Gu family and Bian Wang. He was just an outsider in the Gu family.

So Gu Chen was taken off the table, and Gu Chengan felt very surprised.

Even though he didn't underestimate Gu Chen on weekdays, he didn't feel that Gu Chen would be valued by Gu Jixiu.

But I didn't expect... to meet again today, and the identities of the two are completely different.

"Second uncle."

Gu Chen called Gu Cheng'an softly, saluted slightly, and did a good job in etiquette.

Gu Chengan let out a long breath and said:
"You've grown up...in...in the Gu family, how are you doing?"

"Fortunately, after my father passed away, I was adopted by my fourth uncle as a adopted son. Everyone in the Gu family treated me very well, and no one bullied me."

"That's good, that's good..."

Gu Chengan sighed endlessly.

In fact, Gu Chengan knew what happened to Gu Chen in the Gu family.

The attitudes of Gu Chengan and Gu Chengping are completely different. Although Gu Chen is an illegitimate child, Gu Chengan feels that since they have already entered the Gu family and are part of the Gu family, they will not treat Gu Chen like this.

Gu Chengan knew that his elder brother was released to Dan'an City because he did something wrong in the family, so he attached great importance to the family's evaluation, and he didn't look good on Gu Chen who could lower his own evaluation.

But...it's already like this, how could it be worse?

In the end, they all stayed in Dan'an.

Gu Chengping just couldn't see it, and with a jealous woman beside him whispering in his ear, he looked down on Gu Chen even more.

Because of this, Gu Chen had a very bad time in Gu's family.

Gu Chengan knew all of this.

So Gu Chengan thought, when Gu Chen grows older, he will adopt Gu Chen under his own name, give him a nickname, and treat him like his own son.

This kind of treatment is better than staying in the Gu family.

Even Gu Cheng'an has already given Gu Chen a name, and it's called 'Yong'an', Gu Yong'an.

The meaning of eternal peace.

But man is not as good as heaven is. Something happened in the city where Gu Chengan was at that time, and he needed to deal with it himself, so he got stuck.

After finishing the work and being promoted due to his merits, the Dan'an Gu family has been wiped out for a long time.

Gu Chen was also adopted as a adopted son by Gu Chengye, and was also adopted by the prime minister as Ning Shun, so Gu Chengan had no chance to adopt Gu Chen into his own name.

But that's also good, following Gu Chengye and Gu Chengxiang is better than staying under one's own door.

For the Gu family, who are one of the few people who will give him enough kindness in the early stage, Gu Chen will not be stingy with his care.

Looking at Gu Chengan's haggard face, he couldn't help asking:
"Second Uncle, how are you doing these days?"

"It's not bad, it's just... I just took over the affairs of the capital, and I have to deal with a lot of things myself, so I'm just too busy. It will be fine after a long time."

Gu Chengan said with a light smile.

In fact, the main reason is that he wants to use work to numb his mind so that he doesn't think about Dan'an and Gu's family, that's why Gu Chengan is so haggard.

Gu Chengye interjected at this time: "Well, the capital city is indeed different from other places, so it's better to be more careful."

"Who said it wasn't."

Gu Chengan sighed.

Taking advantage of this moment, Gu Chengye suddenly asked: "By the way, sixth brother, when Ning Shun was carried back home, were you supposed to be there?"

As if he didn't expect Gu Chengye to ask this question, Gu Chengan was startled, and then recalled:
"At that time, I was not there. I only saw Ning Shun and his mother when I came back after a while... How old was Ning Shun at that time..."

"That is to say, you were not present during the inspection, so you are not sure whether Ning Shun is a boy or a girl?"

"?"

Gu Chengan was stunned again, he glanced blankly at Gu Chengye, then at Gu Chen, and after noticing Gu Chen's exquisite appearance, he suddenly widened his eyes.

The scenes of acquaintance with Gu Chen in the past came to mind, after a while, Gu Chengan took a breath, and asked Gu Chengye in disbelief:
"Fourth brother, Ning Shun...Ning Shun he...she? Is she...?"

"..."

Gu Chengye didn't answer immediately, and took a sip of his drink lightly.

Gu Chen on the side frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but saw Gu Chengye's hand waving towards him in the dark. At the same time, the keen senses brought by the breathing method also made Gu Chen feel something.

Outside this box, there were other movements, which did not belong to the waiters and customers outside, nor to the crowd.

This movement came from a martial artist with high martial arts skills.

If it weren't for Gu Chen's own strength, he might not be able to catch these subtle sounds.

Thinking of Gu Chengye's actions again, Gu Chen had a clear understanding at this moment.

The wall has ears.

The conversation between Gu Chengye and Gu Chengan was for other people to hear.
