Chapter 972
Seeing how sure Qu Jiuque said, Nan Gongyan couldn't help but wonder if he had really seen him.

But for that Qu Rushang, Nan Gongyan really had no impression.

Nan Gongyan narrowed his eyes, "Say it quickly, don't keep it to yourself."

Qu Jiuque sighed: "He is Chengyu, don't you really remember?"

"Chengyu?" Nan Gongyan pondered hard, and then suddenly realized, "It turned out to be him, no wonder."

No wonder that even though he couldn't remember who Qu Rushang was, he still had an inexplicable familiarity with him, it really was an old friend.

It's just that he wasn't called Qu Rushang back then, but Qin Chengyu.

"Qin is his mother's surname, and Chengyu is his surname. Although he was taken back to the Qu Mansion when he was seven years old, he never used the name Qu Rushang. It's been so many years, you don't have the impression normal."

Qu Jiuque once invited Nan Gongyan to Gusu's house as a guest. At that time, Qin Chengyu hadn't recovered his status, but was just an inconspicuous servant in Qu's mansion.

Nan Gongyan responded with a low eyebrow: "If he is Qin Chengyu, then he should indeed hate me."

Ji Qingxue was really puzzled: "What does this have to do with you?"

Why did Ah Yan feel that it was normal for Qu Rushang to hate him after knowing the identity of that person?

Nan Gongyan just smiled at her, but he didn't answer her question. Instead, he looked at Qu Jiuque seriously: "I have already met him today."

Qu Jiuque nodded slightly: "I know, brother Rongsheng told me this when I came here."

Nan Gongyan hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Jiu Que, why did he become like this?"

Qu Jiuque shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands helplessly: "Are you asking why he became like this, or why he doesn't know martial arts at all?"

Nangong Yan asked coldly: "Is there any difference between the two?"

"No." Qu Jiuque looked a little discouraged, "I think there is probably a causal relationship between the two. If it weren't for us, he would not be worse than us in martial arts attainments now."

Nan Gongyan snorted, and said coldly: "It was he who made mistakes back then, if I hadn't saved you, you would have died at his hands."

Qu Jiuque lost his temper after being blocked by Nan Gongyan's words, so he had to remain silent.

Ji Qingxue was listening to the first and second elders. She asked anxiously: "What are you talking about? What happened back then? Why did that Qu Rushang hate you two so much?"

Nan Gongyan turned his eyes coldly, which meant to let Qu Jiuque explain himself, he didn't bother to talk about those nonsense back then.

Qu Jiuque, who received the gaze, could only say sadly: "Because he secretly learned the Qu family's martial arts back then, and then I discovered it."

Stealing martial arts?Ji Qingxue felt blessed immediately, she said with a smile: "Then let me make a bold guess, did he learn the Wuxiang magic skill that only the Patriarch of the Qu family can practice?"

Qu Jiuque was slightly surprised: "How do you know?"

Tsk, do you still need to guess about this kind of thing, you can figure it out with your toes.

"He was unwilling. That's why he learned martial arts secretly, in order to prove himself in front of everyone."

"Unwilling?" Qu Jiuque murmured, "Maybe what you said is right."

Back then, when he didn't know that he was his half-brother, Qu Jiuque had a good impression of him. The two of them chatted more than speculatively, and Qu Ruzhang felt especially kind to him.

So Qu Jiuque always regarded him as his brother and never treated him as a servant.

At that time, Nan Gongyan came to Gusu, and Qu Jiuque naturally introduced Qu Rushang to him.

For Nan Gongyan, Qu Ruzhang showed great enthusiasm.

Brothers get along very well with each other, Qu Jiuque is really happy to see him.

But compared to Qu Rushang's enthusiasm, Nan Gongyan is always indifferent.

After a period of hot face and cold butt, Qu Ruzhang quietly asked Qu Jiuque in private if Nan Gongyan hated him.

Qu Jiuque also comforted him, saying: "Twelve pairs are the same, so don't take it to heart."

Qu Jiuque said it casually, but he didn't see the gloom flashing in the depths of Qu Ruzhang's eyes at that time.

Nan Gongyan pinched the tip of his brows, seemingly helpless: "I told you back then that this man's mind is not righteous and needs to be controlled more. But you didn't even listen to a word, that's why today's situation has come into being."

At that time, Qu Jiuque only saw how Qu Rushang treated him well day after day, but forgot that before he revealed his identity as King Dayan Rui, Qu Rushang had always treated him sincerely. Even a little disgusting.

The identity of Prince Rui was accidentally revealed by Qu Jiuque, a big mouthed person. Since then, Qu Rushang's attitude towards Nan Gongyan has undergone a big change.

Nan Gongyan is in the center of the imperial power, and he is used to seeing those people who are in a position to do whatever they can to continue to climb up.

So no matter how well Qu Ruzhang hid his thoughts, Nan Gongyan could see through the desire and greed deep in his heart at a glance.

It is said that the human heart is fleshy, whether a person treats you sincerely, you will feel it yourself.

What's more, a person like Nan Gongyan who has been neglected and rolled his eyes since he was a child, and has an extremely sensitive mind.

Qu Ruzhang's small calculations cannot escape his discernment.

It's just that at the beginning, Nan Gongyan thought that he just wanted to cling to power, get ahead, and get out of slavery.But he didn't expect that there was such a relationship between him and Qu Jiuque.

Qu Jiuque smiled wryly and said: "Back then I accidentally discovered that he stole martial arts. I was supposed to take him to the ancestral hall for questioning. But he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to me and begged for mercy, hoping that I would forgive him. once."

"Of course you don't need to guess about the next thing. You must forgive him." Ji Qingxue really wanted to roll her eyes and let him go with a few casual pleadings. I don't know what will happen in the future Woolen cloth.

Qu Jiuque smiled wryly and nodded: "Yes, he told me how hard it was to live with his mother in the past. He secretly learned martial arts just to get ahead, to find a better job, and to live a decent life. .I was on good terms with him before, so I felt compassion. I just abolished his martial arts, and I didn't pursue the rest."

Ji Qingxue rested her chin in one hand, and said lazily, "I don't think he knows that the reason why you abolished his martial arts is actually for his sake."

Qu Jiuque didn't answer, but seeing his expression, Ji Qingxue knew he was right.

Nan Gongyan snorted: "Stupid!"
