Chapter 101 Come Again
Gao Jiong touched his face and felt baffled.
"What about the token?" Guo Chi couldn't help but ask.
Gao Jiong hesitated.
Guo Chi asked: "Didn't you see it?"
"Hidden somewhere, not with him."
"Hey, is it a lie?" Guo Chi couldn't help but said: "I'm fooling you!"
In the martial arts world, even if your life is saved, you cannot completely trust the other person, and you must be on guard against the other person trying to save someone with ill intentions.
Some things are more important than life, such as martial arts skills, treasures, the lives of family members, the fate of sects, etc.
As soon as he heard these words, he couldn't help but think that this should be a method of self-protection, and it smelled like this.
Practice it well in advance and be able to use it skillfully at critical moments, even with your eyes closed, thus saving your own life.
This is like a trump card.
Gao Jiong said: "I think it's true, he's a very sincere young man."
"Hey, Lao Gao, you're not good at judging people." Guo Chi said, "I must be lying to you."
Gao Jiong shook his head: "It doesn't look like it, it really doesn't look like it."
He looked at Ji Dongxiao.
Ji Dongxiao looked attentive and thoughtful: "How about we go over and have a look."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Do you think he will cut off love?"
"...I'm afraid not." Ji Dongxiao shook his head.
Guo Chi snorted: "You saved my life, Lao Gao, but you don't want to give up a token?"
"It's different." Ji Dongxiao knows the complexity of people's hearts.
Sometimes saving a life may not result in gratitude from the other person.
In this world, there are many things where kindness is repaid with hatred.
Human nature is selfish and greedy, and the human heart is complex beyond imagination.
It's okay if there are no interests involved, but once interests are involved, life-saving grace is useless.
"Forget it." Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.
Guo Chi hurriedly said: "Master, what if it is true?... This is the token of Yao Yue Palace. Yao Yue Palace is not an ordinary sect with a great master!"
He looked at Gao Jiong: "Can this token enable the Grand Master of Yueyue Palace to dispatch it?"
"It should be possible, right?" Gao Jiong scratched his head: "I didn't say whether it was possible or not."
Yaoyue Palace is the most proud.
If you promise to hold this object, you can invite Yueyue Gong to take action. If you invite Yue Yuegong to take action, you will not care about it and will definitely go all out.
If the Grand Master needs to be used, he will definitely do so without hesitation. This is the arrogance of Yaoyue Palace.
"Master, go and have a look. If it's true, get it back!" Guo Chi said hurriedly: "This is a token that can invite the Grand Master to take action!"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Extorting favors in return?"
Looking at his expression, Guo Chi knew that it was impossible, and said regretfully: "A token, in exchange for his small life, there is nothing wrong with that."
"Forget it." Chu Zhiyuan said.
Sun Yanwu, who had been standing by silently, couldn't help but said: "Lao Gao, is this young man really sincere? Don't let others fool you."
"I think he is a very sincere young man." Gao Jiong said.
He hesitated now.
I was originally very sure that this young man was a sincere little guy, but after they talked about it for a while, I became a little suspicious.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Ji Dongxiao.
It is said that Ji Dongxiao is as careful as his hair, so it’s time to see if this is the case.
"Lao Gao," Ji Dongxiao sighed: "This little guy may not be as honest as you think."
As a disciple of the Zhenyi Sect, a disciple of Bai Jingmang, he is so close to the Zhenyi Sect but would rather lie in an empty house than go back to the Zhenyi Sect to ask for help.
The empty house was probably prepared by himself. The so-called cunning rabbit's three caves were specially designed to provide an escape route, which could be regarded as a safe house.
Thinking carefully about what he said to Gao Jiong, it was obvious that he specifically mentioned the token.
Saying such an important thing when you are seriously injured seems to have no sense and even a bit childish.
Mentioning this token at this time may save one's life, but it may also lead to covetation and loss of one's life.
The performance before and after is inconsistent.
So the following words are most likely false. If true, then his purpose may be to ask Gao Jiong for help and send him to Yueyue Palace.
In short, this little guy is not simple.
……
After hearing this speculation, Gao Jiong's face darkened.
Although I didn't want this token from him, it was really uncomfortable to be teased like this. It feels like a good intention was paid in error, and what I got in return for a life-saving favor was not the truth, but deception.
His face became increasingly ugly.
Ji Dongxiao said: "Master, I will accompany Lao Gao to see this little guy later."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
When he returned to Prince Qing's Mansion, Chu Zhiyuan found that there were guests in Prince Qing's Mansion.
What he saw through his super-sense was that Chu Minghou was laughing happily with a burly middle-aged man in the front hall, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
The two of them were gathering in front of the table under the window, looking at a painting on the table.
Chu Minghou was talking eloquently, and the burly middle-aged man was listening with interest and asking questions from time to time.
The bright sunshine shines through the window on the xuan table, illuminating the magnificent picture of snow-capped mountains on the table.
Chu Zhiyuan turned to look at Zou Fang.
Zou Fang nodded lightly, walked to the front hall, whispered a few words to Feng Xi in the front hall, and then returned silently.
"But Yuan'er is back? Come in quickly!" Chu Minghou's voice came from the hall.
He saw Zou Fang and knew that Chu Zhiyuan was back.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and moved forward, and heard Zou Fang's secret voice in his ears: "Your Majesty, the guest is Marquis Jianchi."
Chu Zhiyuan stopped suddenly and turned to look at him.
At this time, he had reached the foot of the front hall steps, and when he was about to go up the steps, he stopped and went back.
Zou Fang nodded slightly.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
Jian Chihou.
The one who proposed marriage to my younger sister two days ago.
At that time, Bai Ningshuang sent the matchmaker away because she didn't like the son of Jianchihou's family.
Not only because Marquis Jianchi was a new rich man, not only because his son was incompetent, but more importantly because his disciples were not suitable for him.
The son of a newly promoted marquis wants to marry the princess, and the gap between his disciples is too big.
If the newly promoted marquis is in his twenties, he is still qualified to propose marriage to the princess.
But now, he is the son of a marquis, and he is not inheriting the title of marquis, but the empty post of a benevolent general.
Marrying a princess with such a status is simply a dream.
Just here to pick up the bargains.
Bai Ningshuang did not kick the matchmaker out, but politely sent him out after declining. This was already a very high level of accomplishment.
If he dared to go to any of the Duke's mansions to propose marriage, he would be beaten with sticks by the Duke's mansion.
"Yuan'er, come on, come on." Chu Minghou said with a smile: "Look at this picture of Thousand Miles of Snow Peak by Mr. Guo."
Chu Zhiyuan coughed lightly and slowly stepped onto the steps.
Zou Fang stepped forward and lifted up the thick white felt curtain.
Chu Zhiyuan stepped over the threshold and slowly entered the house.
The house is warm as spring.
"I've met the Crown Prince." The burly middle-aged man standing next to the Xuan case clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I'm interrupting you so rashly, Crown Prince, don't blame me for being abrupt."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "I have met Mr. Guo, this is... the picture of Thousand Miles of Snow Peak?"
He stepped forward and stood in front of the Xuan case and took a look.
What comes to my face is countless heroic spirit. The scroll, which is only two feet wide and one foot long, has a panoramic view of thousands of miles of snow peaks.
This is indeed a very high painting technique, no wonder Chu Minghou is so excited.
It played into his hands.
"Good painting, good painting!" Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "A work by a famous artist!"
"It was painted by an unknown scholar from the border. I also accidentally saw this painting on the street. I thought it looked good and bought it for ten taels of silver."
"Ten taels of silver..." Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "Master Hou is very lucky."
He looked at Chu Minghou: "You can get a painting by Master Ouyang Qiongwang for only ten taels of silver. It's really good luck!"
Chu Minghou was startled, looked at it a few times, and nodded solemnly: "Yes, it should be Master Ouyang! No wonder it looks familiar."
He sighed: "Since Master Ouyang left Yujing, it is said that he went to the border to see the world and strengthen his mind... Master Ouyang's skills have improved to a higher level. No wonder, only Master Ouyang can do it. Make such a wonderful painting!”
He was not surprised by Chu Zhiyuan's sharp eyesight.
He often can't see it, but Chu Zhiyuan can, and after a few times he gets used to it.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Master Hou is here to propose marriage?"
