Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 526 He is half my brother-in-law
  After Cook Ding figured out Gu Xun's identity, he couldn't help but sweat a few drops on his head.

Although at present, Gu Xun seems to have a close relationship with their Mo family, and they even joined forces to treat the people of Jicheng for free some time ago, but as an intelligence officer, Cook Ding clearly remembers that this guy is moody and willful. Type, if what he said was wrong, the hundreds or dozens of kilograms of meat might be confessed on the spot.

For Fatty Ting, such a dangerous character can still be avoided as long as he can. Unless there is an order from above, he will definitely hide as far away as possible... Well, seeing how satisfied the other party was with the food he cooked before, Presumably, he couldn't avoid it before he left Songhai.

Chef Ding thought about it and thought that this was also a good thing. At least his food was delicious to him, and his life was more secure.

At this time, he could only comfort himself like this...

Fu Nian glanced at Cook Ding at this time and didn't think much about it. He just assumed that the cook came up the mountain to deliver the meal at the same time as Gu Xun... After all, it was Gu Guoshi who was not particular about his work and came to the door at noon.

"Master Cook Ding, you go in first." Fu Nian's thoughts did not occupy Fu Nian's thoughts, and he immediately gave instructions to Cook Ding.

Cook Ding was eager to leave these two men, and since he was unlikely to hear any confidential information, he was left to suffer the consequences, so he hurriedly took the food box and ran towards the small door.

After placing Fatty Ding in place, Fu Nian stretched out his hand to invite Gu Xun in, "Master Imperial Master, Miss Yan Lingji, please come."

Then the three of them entered through the main gate... and the side door next to it.

Not everyone is qualified to enter the gate of Xiaoshengxian Manor. Of course, Gu Xun's identity is enough, but he is visiting privately, and he also brings a Baiyue woman with him, so he must not be able to enter the gate, and can only come from the side. Entering through the side door, Fu Nian, the head of the Confucian family, came to greet him personally, so it was not considered a breach of Confucian etiquette.

Gu Xun didn't understand these Confucian laws and regulations, but he understood why he didn't open the door - there were only three people, what was the use of opening such a big door?

Only by truly entering this Confucian holy land can Gu Xun realize that the Confucian heritage of hundreds of years is not false.

The Mohist School spent three hundred years to carve out a realm of demons in the mountains, which can be called a miraculous workmanship. Although the Confucian School, which is also a prominent scholar, is not as fancy as it is, the interior scenery of this most prestigious academy is also extraordinary, with carved beams and painted buildings, Small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, waterside pavilions and gardens are all there.

The entire academy does not look luxurious, but the restrained cultural heritage can be seen everywhere. Compared with other royal palaces, it may be a little less majestic, but more quiet and elegant.

I just don’t know why, but Gu Xun didn’t see a few people along the way. Where were the disciples from Little Saint Xian Manor?

"Master Fu Nian, why is this village so deserted?" Gu Xun asked if he didn't understand, and asked Fu Nian who was leading the way.

"..."

Why is no one... You came at noon, the students have already rested, so who would be wandering around the village?

Of course, Fu Nian would not answer others so rudely. He deliberately slowed down and allowed himself and Gu Xun to walk on the same line. Then he explained, "Now is not the time for students to move around casually. Most of them are in fixed activities." The location and servants are all busy, so there will inevitably be fewer people walking around the village."

While speaking, Fu Nian had already led people to their destination, a side hall.

As the same saying goes, unofficial official visits are not allowed no matter how formal they are. After entering the room, the three of them sat down respectively. When several people were meeting, they must have sat down. Fu Nian was as disciplined and meticulous as ever. Gu Xun and Yan Lingji opposite him were far behind. One is looser and more casual than the other.

Fortunately, although Fu Nian was strict, to Confucian disciples, Gu Xun was a guest. As long as he was not deliberately provoking, he could turn a blind eye to such etiquette issues.

After sitting down, Fu Nian went straight to the topic without any hesitation and asked frankly, "Master Imperial Master, I'm here to visit the Little Saint's Manor. What's your purpose?"

Gu Xun smiled and acted very kindly, "I mainly came to meet two people, Mr. Xun Kuang, and... Yan Lu."

The name in front was nothing, Fu Nian expected it, but Yan Lu behind him made his pupils shrink slightly.

The origin of Yan Lu is a mystery in Confucianism. This child mysteriously appeared in Songhai City more than a year ago, and then for some reason he was accepted by an old Confucian student and stayed in the Little Sage Manor to study. Even if Fu Nian, what is known so far is that Yan Lu's parents have passed away, and he has no other relatives. Simply put, he is an orphan. He even only had the name "Lu" when he came, and his surname was only given after he came to Confucianism.

Fu Nian had no intention of peeking into Yan Lu's past. In his opinion, he was just a helpless child. No matter how special his past identity and experience were, they must still carry a wandering memory. The beauty of a gentleman is that of an adult. As long as he is a Confucian disciple, all Fu Nian has to do is protect him.

Now this Qin State Master with a very special reputation in the world suddenly came to visit and asked to see Yan Lu by name. Fu Nian couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

However, as a Confucian leader, Fu Nian is fully responsible for his responsibilities. If Gu Xun really wants to harm Yan Lu, he will never sit idly by.

"It is not difficult for the Imperial Master to meet Master Xun. He is now living in seclusion in the Bamboo Forest of Houshan Mountain. Fu Nian can arrange for someone to take the Imperial Master there. However, Uncle Master has a maverick personality and sometimes does not want to see outsiders. , so whether the old man will meet you or not is not something Fu Nian can control. I hope you will forgive me." Fu Nian spoke in a steady magnetic baritone and explained Xunzi's situation clearly.

Gu Xun still smiled and replied magnanimously, "I understand this. Master Fu Nian doesn't have to worry. If Mr. Xun Kuang doesn't want to see me, Gu will never pester him."

Fu Nian nodded and continued, "As for Junior Brother Yan Lu... I wonder if it would be convenient for the Imperial Master to tell you the purpose of looking for him?"

"Junior Brother Yan Lu is young after all. I'm worried that he lost his etiquette and bumped into the Imperial Master."

Gu Xun could vaguely tell that Fu Nian was probably worried about Yan Lu, and waved his hand indifferently, "Head Fu Nian doesn't have to worry about this. I was asked to find Yan Lu to see how he has been doing recently. How about it."

"Oh?" Fu Nian looked suspicious.

"It was my wife who sent him to Little Saint's Villa in the first place." Seeing this, Gu Xun further explained.

"Huh?" Fu Nian was even more confused, and he couldn't help but glance at Yan Lingji, who was sitting next to Gu Xun, holding her head up and looking at him and Gu Xun chatting.

Yan Lingji was keenly aware of this glance, couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and said angrily, "It's not me!"
