Chapter 48 Old Master

Chuntang thought she was worried and comforted her: "Don't worry, girl, Su Min is here, the bad guys can't escape."

Gu Huayu didn't answer. She held the silver needle in her hand and tried to throw it at the assassin.

 After the assassins were hit by the needle, they all fell down within five seconds. Gu Huayu nodded with satisfaction.

Shopkeeper Huang put away his sword, looked down at the assassin, and exclaimed: "It's right on target!"

Su Min lowered his head to check, raised his head and said to Gu Hua, "The girl's skills are amazing!"

Shopkeeper Huang ordered: "Light the lamp!"

Chuntang hurriedly walked to the table and lit the lamp.

Shopkeeper Huang looked down and asked, "How many people are there in total?"

Su Min lowered his hand and replied: "There are six people in total, all of whom are dead soldiers, and no one is left alive."

Shopkeeper Huang looked at the unconscious young man on the bed and said to Su Min: "Take care of it and strengthen the protection of the private room."

Su Min accepted the request and left the room.

Shopkeeper Huang told Chuntang: "Clean the house and put it in order."

Chuntang bent his knees and bowed.

Shopkeeper Huang turned to look at Gu Huayu and said warmly: "Girl, please come with me to the study."

Gu Huayu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

Shopkeeper Huang walked out of the house first, followed closely by Gu Huayu.

 The two of them entered the study. Shopkeeper Huang closed the study door and politely let Gu Huayu sit down. "Girl, please sit down."

Shopkeeper Huang's respectful attitude confused Gu Huayu. She stood still and looked at Shopkeeper Huang quietly. After a while, he asked: "Uncle Huang, what do you mean?"

Shopkeeper Huang lowered his hands and replied respectfully: "When I saw the girl yesterday, I felt like I was meeting my former master."

Gu Huayu pointed at herself and asked with a slight frown: "Is your old master very similar to me?"

Shopkeeper Huang nodded in agreement, "Girl, yes. The girl looks exactly like the master."

 It turned out that shopkeeper Huang’s shocked expression after seeing her yesterday was due to this.

Gu Huayu asked tentatively: "Is your old master a woman?"

Shopkeeper Huang shook his head and said, "Girl, no, the head of the house is a man."

Gu Huayu blurted out and asked: "Your family head's surname is Hua?"

Shopkeeper Huang looked at Gu Huayu with surprise and asked incoherently: "Girl, do you know?"

Gu Huayu looked at Shopkeeper Huang's overjoyed expression and knew that she had guessed correctly. She nodded and said, "Yes. I only found out recently. I look a lot like my father?"

Huang Zhang was so excited that he rubbed his hands together: "Yes, the girl is very similar to me, especially the eyes, nose and mouth. They are very similar to me. The girl's face shape and eyebrows are more like Madam.

I saw the girl yesterday. I was thinking of going to the capital in a few days to verify the girl's life experience. After confirming, I would talk to the girl in detail. "

Gu Huayu looked at Shopkeeper Huang without interrupting him and motioned for him to continue.

Shopkeeper Huang paused and motioned for Gu Huayu to sit down, "Girl, you sit down first. Please speak slowly."

Gu Huayu nodded and sat down at the table as instructed.

Shopkeeper Huang took out the kettle from the warm nest, and while pouring tea for Gu Huayu, he said: "I'm going to see the girl's skills tonight, and I'm sure that she is the little master."

Gu Huayu stared at shopkeeper Huang closely and asked in great shock: "Uncle Huang is talking about boxing?"

Shopkeeper Huang met Gu Huayu's gaze, nodded and said, "Yes, the Step by Step Panhua that the girl just used is the Hua Family Boxing Technique."

Gu Huayu straightened her back. Although her face was expressionless, her heart was full of turmoil...

 Her boxing skills were learned in modern times.

Shopkeeper Huang nodded and said, "Well, girl, can you perform the boxing technique again?"

Gu Huayu thought for a moment. She also wanted to understand, so she nodded in agreement.

Gu Huayu stood up and walked to the center of the room, performing the boxing technique again and again in a leisurely manner.

Shopkeeper Huang stood on the side, watching and saying the moves excitedly: "Step by step, twist the flower, hold the mountain and fill the sea, turn the stone into gold, use the inner strength of the flower, and the seven stars gather together."

After Gu Huayu finished performing a set of boxing techniques, shopkeeper Huang couldn't wait to come to Gu Huayu, knelt down and said, "My young master, please accept Huang Xiao's bow."

Gu Huayu looked at the trembling Shopkeeper Huang and stepped forward to help him up. "Uncle Huang, get up and talk."

Shopkeeper Huang stood up and stood respectfully to the side.

 Gu Huayu pointed to the seat opposite, "Uncle Huang, sit down."

Shopkeeper Huang bowed to express his thanks and sat down as he was told, "Thank you, miss. I would like to ask you, who taught her the boxing technique?"

Gu Huayu was in a dilemma. She learned her boxing skills in modern times. How should she respond to him?

 She couldn't tell him, but she didn't want to lie.

 After a while, Gu Huayu said: "Let's talk about this later. Tell me about my parents."

"Huh? Oh, okay." Shopkeeper Huang thought that Gu Huayu didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions.

“The family head’s surname is Hua, and his single name is Ling. Before he was killed, he was the head of the Hua family.”

"Killed?" Gu Huayu's neck felt like someone was strangling her, making her feel suffocated. Her hand holding the cup tightened a little, and it turned out to be exactly what she had guessed.

Shopkeeper Huang's eyes were a little red, and he responded in a deep voice: "Miss Hui, she was killed. Neither the master nor his wife are alive."

 Sure enough, she was entrusted by her mother to be an orphan.

 What happened to the Hua family? Why did both parents die at a young age?

 After a long while, Gu Huayu asked in a deep voice: "Have you found out who did it?"

Shopkeeper Huang replied apologetically: "Please make atonement, girl. I am incompetent. After ten years of investigation, I have not yet found out the person behind the scenes."

 The person in charge has not been found in ten years, or the other party has hidden it deeply. Or, the other party has too much power.

However, since she is back, no matter whether the person is a cow, ghost, snake, god, or Shura immortal, she must find out clearly, so that her parents will not die in vain, and the person who caused harm will be repaid with blood.

Gu Huayu nodded slightly and comforted: "Don't blame yourself, tell me about the Hua family."

Shopkeeper Huang leaned forward and said, "Okay."

Shopkeeper Huang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said slowly,

“The Hua family’s ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River. Our ancestors had a very good personal relationship with the founding emperor. When the founding emperor led his troops to revolt, our ancestors followed the founding emperor.

However, instead of standing in the open and fighting with him in all directions, he stood in the dark and collected intelligence for the emperor.

 Hence, the ancestors single-handedly created the Dragon Shadow Guard and became the leader of the Dragon Shadow Guard. "

“Long Shadow Guard?” Gu Huayu looked at Shopkeeper Huang and asked.

Shopkeeper Huang nodded and said, "Yes, Long Shadow Guard, like a shadow, does various things for the emperor in the dark."

Gu Huayu nodded and signaled Shopkeeper Huang to continue.

“Longyingwei has Guiyun Pavilion, the largest wine shop in the world, and Baofengyuan, the largest bank in the world.

After the world was settled, our ancestors did not stand in the court hall, but still stood in the dark, being used by the emperor. "

Gu Huayu interrupted shopkeeper Huang again and said, "The Dragon Shadow Guard is only used by the emperor?"

Shopkeeper Huang nodded and said: "Yes, it is only for the emperor's use. The Hua family has been loyal for generations and has never participated in party struggles. It is only loyal to the one above the throne."

Gu Huayu twitched the corners of her lips, smiled bitterly and said: "Being at the center of power, how easy is it not to participate in disputes? How can you do whatever you want when the tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping?"

Shopkeeper Huang was horrified and leaned forward and said, "The girl is right."

 Gu Huayu touched the smooth tea cup with her right thumb, frowned slightly, looked at Shopkeeper Huang and asked: "After my father was killed, the Long Shadow Guards dispersed?"

Shopkeeper Huang shook his head and said, "No, the current leader of the Long Shadow Guard is Hua Xu."

Gu Huayu stopped moving her hands and asked, "Hua Xu? Hua family?"

Shopkeeper Huang nodded, then shook his head, "Yes, and no."

 “How do you say it?” Gu Huayu asked.

Shopkeeper Huang leaned forward and said: "Hua Xu is the second master of the Hua family. He is one year younger than the head of the family, but he is not the son of the old head of the family. He is just the adopted son of the Hua family. His name is a single word, and the word means a meaning. The second master's parents died when he was young. The Lord saw his pity and took him home as his adopted son."

 “Adopted son? My father doesn’t have any other brothers or sisters?” Gu Huayu asked doubtfully.

Shopkeeper Huang sighed slightly and said: "The Hua family is very thin. From the head of the family on up, the Hua family has been passed down by a single person for three generations. After the head of the family suffered a tragic accident, the old head of the family and the old lady in Jiangnan fell ill one after another, and the two elders passed away in less than a year. "

Gu Huayu asked thoughtfully: "Have you checked Hua Xu over the years?"

Shopkeeper Huang nodded, "After checking, the second master's life experience is too simple, and nothing that makes anyone question it has been found."

Gu Huayu nodded, "I understand. Are you from my father's side? Do you know what happened that year? Also, the Long Shadow Guard has not been dispersed, why are you in Shicheng and not with the Long Shadow Guard?"

Shopkeeper Huang leaned forward and said, "Girl, the younger one is the servant next to the master of the house. There are four people accompanying the master, namely Su Xing, Chen Song, Huang Jing and the younger one.

 Before the accident, Xiao Xiao was assigned by the family owner to go to Mingzhou to investigate a case.

On the way back to Beijing, Xiao Xiao learned that something happened to Long Yingwei. The Hua family was wiped out. Long Yingwei's Guiyun Pavilion at the capital's headquarters was bombed, and many semicolons were destroyed. "

Shopkeeper Huang paused for a moment, then continued: "Xiao Xiao sneaked into the capital to inquire about the situation, but was discovered and hunted down. Xiao Xiao had to escape from the capital and fled all the way to Shicheng. After that, Xiao Xiao went to the capital several times to investigate, but he never found out. How much useful information.”

Gu Huayu thought for a while and asked, "Are you the only one close to my father who is still alive?"

Shopkeeper Huang shook his head, "No, Chen Song is also alive. He is now with the second master. Su Xing went with the master of the family, and Huang Jing is nowhere to be found."

Gu Huayu nodded clearly, "Oh! Hua Xu is in the capital now?"

Shopkeeper Huang took a sip of tea, put the cup on the table, and said, "Girl, yes. On the third day after the Hua family suffered a tragic accident, Hua Xu rushed to the capital and went to the palace to meet the Holy Emperor. The Holy Emperor gave Hua Xu a mansion. Let him take over the Dragon Shadow Guard."

Shopkeeper Huang’s voice was filled with disgust.

 Gu Huayu held her chin with her hand, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "You have a position in Long Shadow Guard, right? Why don't you return to Long Shadow Guard?"

Shopkeeper Huang leaned back and said, "Girl, there are lights and shadows under the Dragon Shadow Guard to carry the shadow, chase the shadow, and follow the shadow everywhere.

The younger one is responsible for Chengying's affairs and is in charge of the accounts of Guiyunge and Baofeng Bank. In addition, Xiao Jianzhi investigates the authenticity of the information collected.

As for why he didn’t return to Longyingwei, Xiao Xiao was not around when the family owner encountered an unexpected incident. The younger one is only loyal to the family master. The younger one will not go back until he sees the family master's token. "

 “The master’s token?” Gu Huayu asked.

 Huang Xiao leaned forward and said, "Yes, it's the family master's token."

Gu Huayu suddenly thought of the dragon pattern order in the hands of her ancestors in the ancestral hall that was the same as Qingfeng's, so she turned the Qingfeng on her index finger and said silently, "Qingfeng, reveal yourself!"

Qingfeng appeared immediately. Gu Huayu took off Qingfeng and said to Shopkeeper Huang: "Is this the family master's token?"

Huang Xiao raised her head and looked over. When she saw the ring in Gu Huayu's hand, she was so shocked that she knelt down from her chair and said, "Master, please accept my humble bow."

Seeing shopkeeper Huang's awe of Qingfeng, he thought to himself, this is indeed the case.

Gu Huayu put away the green wind and said gently: "Get up."

Huang Xiao stood up, her eyes filled with joy, "That's great, that's great!"

Gu Huayu motioned to Huang Xiao to sit down and asked, "Is this ring a token of the family head?"

 “You don’t know, girl?” Huang Xiao looked at Gu Huayu in surprise.

Gu Huayu nodded, "Well, I just know that it was left to me by my mother."

"This is the Longying Order. The people of the Longying Guard will see the order as if they were meeting the master of the family." Huang Xiao explained.

Gu Huayu frowned slightly and asked, "Isn't Hua Xu the commander of the Long Shadow Guard? He doesn't have the Dragon Shadow Order?"

"Hua Xu is now the commander of the Longying Guard. However, this is a gift from the emperor and is not recognized by the Hua family." Huang Xiao replied truthfully.

Gu Huayu understood what Huang Xiao meant, "Oh! So, today's Dragon Shadow Guard is not the Dragon Shadow Guard. In other words, although Hua Xu has taken over the Dragon Shadow Guard for ten years, he has not fully controlled the Dragon Shadow Guard."

 Huang Xiao leaned forward and said, "Yes."

"Were the people who were chasing you ordered by Hua Xu?" Gu Huayu asked.

Huang Xiao replied calmly, "It should be that he would get rid of those who followed the master and were not of use to him. It is said that the second master has been looking for the dragon pattern order these years, so the girl should be more careful."

 Huang Xiao looked at Qingfeng in Gu Huayu's hand worriedly.

Gu Huayu looked at Qingfeng and smiled: "Let him find it. Don't worry, no one can **** it."

Gu Huayu put Qingfeng on her index finger in front of Shopkeeper Huang and said, "Hide it."

 Qingfeng disappeared under the gaze of Shopkeeper Huang.

Shopkeeper Huang's eyes stared at Gu Huayu's index finger like an earthquake. It took him a while to recover from the shock, and he stuttered: "Girl, this..."

Gu Huayu said lightly: "Qingfeng recognizes his master."

Shopkeeper Huang was stunned for a moment, then understood, and happily said yes again and again. Then he asked: "What are your plans next, girl?"

Gu Huayu said calmly: "My parents cannot die in vain. I will find out the truth and comfort my parents' spirits in heaven."

After listening to Gu Huayu's words, Huang Xiao felt as if he was with his master back then. He couldn't help but lean forward and said, "Young lady, I'll do whatever you want."

Gu Huayu nodded slightly and said: "I understand. It has been ten years and you haven't found anything. It shows that the other party is extremely cautious and extremely powerful. We must have a detailed plan and make decisions before we act. Therefore, this matter cannot be rushed. ”

Shopkeeper Huang looked at Gu Huayu with admiration and said, "Yes, I listen to the girl. But, does Mr. Gu know the girl's identity?"

 Gu Huayu shook her head, "I don't know how much my father knows. However, since I can live safely for ten years, my father probably doesn't know much."

Shopkeeper Huang looked up at Gu Huayu and asked, "Well, that should be the case. Do I need to tell Mr. Gu about the girl's identity?"
