Chapter 71

After thinking for a while, Gu Changge immediately returned to the room, and the old lady Gu woke up after being rescued by the doctor.

"Grandma, are you feeling better?" Gu Changge hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Changge, my Cheng'er, my Cheng'er."

"Grandma, don't get excited! Daddy and younger brother will be fine, they will be lucky. Now everyone is waiting for you to cheer up and make up your mind! Grandma, you can't mess yourself up at this time, you must calm down first! " Gu Changge comforted repeatedly.

When Gu Nan left, she also reminded Gu Nan to be careful. She never thought that her words would come true. Gu Nan and Gu Yuan were really taken hostage.In Gu Changge's heart, she didn't care what happened to Gu Yuancheng, she just didn't want Gu Nan to make any mistakes.

It's just that she can't show any worry, at least at this critical moment, she must stay calm and find a way to rescue Gu Nan.

"Yes, yes! I must calm down! I must calm down! Go back to Yuecheng immediately!" Mrs. Gu quickly wiped away her tears and cheered up.

Soon, they rushed towards Yuecheng without stopping.

Gu Changge didn't have the time to think about whether this would be an opportunity for him, an opportunity that could change his destiny.She was worried about Gu Nan's safety, fearing that the longer time passed, the more dangerous Gu Nan would be.

Along the way, she accompanied Old Madam Gu to comfort her emotions. At night, they all arrived in Tongcheng and were about to leave the city overnight, but they were stopped by the city guards.

"I'm sorry, Tongcheng is under curfew, and no one can leave the city at night!" The soldiers guarding the city looked awe-inspiring, and their tone was blunt, and they stopped Gu Changge and the others in Tongcheng, stagnant.

"It's all right, why is there a curfew!" Mrs. Gu came to the soldier with a cane and asked sharply. "We ordinary people, if we don't steal or rob, we can't leave the city!"

It seems that she was really pressed by the matter of her son and grandson, and she actually had the courage to confront the general this time.

"There are bandits in Tongcheng who often go down the mountain to rob houses. The curfew is for the safety of everyone! This is the order of the governor. If you don't obey, go to the governor. Don't talk nonsense with me here!" The soldier pushed Gu old lady.

"Why are you so rude!" Gu Changge couldn't stand it anymore.

"Aren't you deaf? Go back quickly! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude to you!" The soldier became impatient and shouted sharply. Then more than a dozen soldiers surrounded him and pointed their spears at him. Gu Changge them.

"Presumptuous! Who allowed you to be so arrogant and rude to the people!" During the confrontation, a clear and majestic voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Gu Changge turned his head around, and saw a man wearing official clothes and riding a tall horse jumped off the horse, and quickly came to them. When they got closer, Gu Changge couldn't help thinking that this person looked familiar, as if he was somewhere seen.

"Respond to your lord's words. These unscrupulous people refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on leaving the city! I have no choice but to speak ill at each other!"

"Presumptuous! What a villain! This is the mother of Gu Yuancheng, the famous richest man in Yuecheng. How can you tolerate your rudeness and apologize quickly!" The man sternly stopped, with a heroic look on his brows.

"Yes! Yes! Old lady Gu, I'm sorry just now! I'm sorry! We have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, so I'm really sorry!"

The old lady's face finally eased.

"Ms. Gu, this is the Governor of Tongcheng. My surname is Lu and my name is Yu. I have always admired Mr. Gu's name for a long time, and I always wanted to find a chance to visit. I heard that you are in my Tongcheng, so I came to visit you. I don't know if the old lady can come. What about the mansion? I have prepared good wine and good food to entertain you all, and I would like to invite the old lady to come and sit in the humble house." Lu Yu put away his stern expression and turned into a gentle and polite one.

Gu Changge on the side was shocked.

Lu Yu!No wonder seeing him familiar, it turned out to be him!
But didn't he drown?

How did you become the Governor of Tongcheng?

"However, Mr. Lu, I have something urgent to go back to Yuecheng. I would like to ask Mr. Lu to accommodate you and let us go out of the city. I am very grateful. When I go back to Yuecheng, I will definitely tell my son and let him come to the door to thank him in person."

"Hey, old lady, you don't have to be so polite! But the curfew is for the safety of the people in the city. Lu can't set this precedent and let you out of the city. It's getting late now, why don't you sit at my house and wait until dawn. How about I prepare a fast horse for you to take you out of the city personally?" Lu Yu was still polite, but there was an undeniable hostility in his words.

"But..." Mrs. Gu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gu Changge.

"That's how I thank Mr. Lu."

"Miss Six is ​​a straightforward person, and Lu likes it. Please come here!"

The old lady didn't know why, seeing that she was invited to the governor's mansion this time, she was full of resentment towards Gu Changge in her heart. If Gu Changge hadn't patted her hand to signal her to be calm, she would have questioned her harshly. What does Gu Changge intend to do.

Mrs. Gu didn't know Lu Yu's identity, so she didn't know the reason.But Gu Changge is very clear.

Lu Yu, the man who eloped with Gu Xiuning and then drowned.At this moment, he appeared in front of everyone alive, no longer the poor and poor scholar who was useless in the past, but the magistrate of Tongcheng who was loved by everyone.

This time he imposed a curfew and stopped Gu Changge and others.Presumably, he had already figured out the situation of Gu's mansion inside and out, so he stopped them when they were in a hurry to leave the city, and the purpose was to prevent them from returning to Yuecheng.

Back then, Gu Yuancheng pushed him and Gu Xiuning to a dead end, but now that he has reached the sky in one step, what is it if he doesn't hate the Gu family?He nominally said that he wanted to entertain them well, and let them go at dawn.

But from Gu Changge's point of view, I'm afraid that when they enter Tongcheng this time, it will be like a fight between trapped beasts, and they can't get out if they get in.

"Tweety, go ask again to see if you can leave the city." Early in the morning, Mrs. Gu urged Tweety to go to the gate of the city to look at it a few times, but she was stopped every time.The old lady Gu was very anxious, and her behavior also infected the servants. Everyone was anxious, but Gu Changge was alone.

"Miss, why are you not in a hurry?" Chu Rui asked.

"I'm naturally anxious. It's just that this matter cannot be rushed." The key depends on whether Lu Yu is willing to let him go.

At this moment, they were trapped in Lu Yu's mansion, with nowhere to advance or retreat, and nowhere to ask for help, so they could only hope that Lu Yu would show mercy.But will Lu Yu show kindness?I'm afraid it's impossible.After dawn for so long, they have not been able to see Lu Yu, and every time they asked to see him, they were blocked from the door. It can be seen that Lu Yu deliberately left them alone and made them anxious.

"But such a big incident happened in the mansion, if we don't go back as soon as possible, what will the master and the young master do if we don't go back as soon as possible?" Shuangxiu also lost her mind.

"I know. But it's useless to be in a hurry. I'll go see the old lady!" Gu Changge decided to tell the old lady Gu about the relationship between Lu Yu and Gu Xiuning, so that she could have a clear idea.

"Changge, you're here." Mrs. Gu immediately went up to meet Gu Changge.Looking at her anxious and haggard expression, she seemed to have aged ten years overnight. She was already very old, but now she looked even older.

"What do you think we should do now? This governor has not let us go out of the city. Your father and younger brother are still waiting for help?"

"Grandma, don't worry. Sit down first, I have something to tell you."

"What's going on?"

"Sit down first." Gu Changge helped the old lady to sit down, and after sorting out his thoughts, he briefly explained the matter between Lu Yu and Gu Xiuning.

"Grandma, stop thinking about begging the governor of Tongcheng to let us out of the city. He won't let us out of the city."

"Why? He promised last night that he would let us out of the city after dawn!" Mrs. Gu was unwilling to accept this fact.

"Grandma, you don't know the identity of Lu Yu. Last night, I found out his identity only after hearing his self-reported name. Do you know that he is the ideal person of Fifth Sister Gu Xiuning?" Gu Changge stared at Old Madam Gu seriously.

Mrs. Gu's face turned pale instantly, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"What did you say? He! He is..."

"Exactly. So, grandma, the Gu family treated him and Fifth Sister that way back then, and even drove them to a dead end. Now that he has gained power, how can he let it go? The fact that Daddy was taken hostage is now more than just people from Yuecheng. I know, even other places probably know about it. Lu Yu just seized this opportunity to take revenge!"

"Then, what shall we do?" Mrs. Gu knew the seriousness of the matter. "Your Fifth Sister is still alive, can we talk to him about it. Maybe he will let us go for your Fifth Sister's sake?" Mrs. Gu was lucky again.

"That also requires that Lu Yu is willing to see us. You see, he has been avoiding us all the time, isn't he just planning to take revenge on us?" Gu Changge slandered in his heart: If she were Lu Yu, even if the Gu family moved out of Gu Xiuning, she would not let it go.I did it so terribly at the beginning, but this time I was lucky and asked the other party to forgive me, is it possible?
"Doesn't he like your Fifth Sister very much? Seeing your Fifth Sister's affection, he must have some concerns. Changge, let's try. This is the only way right now. Your father and brother still In the hands of those thieves, what will the Gu family do if their hands go wrong?" Mrs. Gu held Gu Changge's hand and begged:

"You and your fifth sister have always been on good terms, and you saved her. Go talk to Lu Yu, maybe he will let us out of the city because you saved Xiuning instead."

Gu Changge cast a sideways glance at Old Madam Gu.

Sighing, "Okay, I'll try."

Earlier, Gu Xiuning was always called a slut, but now she has been directly promoted to 'Xiu Ning'. People's hearts are so ugly.This Gu family is really beyond the reach of a normal person.

Now, he can only hope that Lu Yu still has some affection for Gu Xiuning.If the love is no longer there, and the hatred remains, then there is no choice but to eat and wait to die.

"Miss Gu Six is ​​looking for Lu to come here for something?" Gu Changge sent Shuangxiu to invite Lu Yu, naturally using the name of Gu Xiuning, and Lu Yu really came to meet each other not long after.

This Lu Yu must have some affection for Gu Xiuning, if so, she must prescribe the right medicine.
