Chapter 544 A knife hidden in a smile
More than an hour later.
Gu Chancai took Nangong Jin and returned to the lord's mansion unhurriedly.
But this time, Nangong Jin was dumbfounded on the spot. When he was in Nancheng before, he didn't take Gu Chan seriously at all, but now that he saw Gu Chan owning such a luxurious mansion, he began to feel it in his heart. Re-examine Gu Chan.
When Gu Chan led him into the gate, she sneered and said, "Little prince, when I see your father soon, you have to be careful what you say. After all, the lives of your father and son are now in the hands of General Zuo." , don’t say the wrong thing then, and it will cause death for you, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
"Okay, thank you Lord for reminding me." Nangong Jin said politely.
Gu Chan rolled her eyes at him before walking towards the front lobby.
Nangong Jin quickly followed, and couldn't help but reach out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
He had to admit that the powerful aura displayed by Gu Chan now was unmatched when she was in Nancheng.
So now he is still quite afraid of Gu Chan and doesn't dare to be as presumptuous as before.
After the two entered the lobby in the front yard, they discovered that in the lobby at this time, Zuo Wangfeng, Shuiyue, and Nangongsong were already sitting at the table waiting quietly.
As the chief steward, Wei Xing was sitting aside to accompany the guests. When he saw Gu Chan coming back, he stood up and said, "Lord, you are back, General Zuo and the others have been here for more than half an hour and have been waiting for you! ”
"Okay, go and do your work! I'll just entertain them." Gu Chan waved her hand.
Wei Xing nodded quietly, excused himself and left.
Gu Chan walked to the front of the table and sat down. She picked up the hot tea brought by the maid and drank it slowly.
Nangong Song stood up with a distressed look on his face, rushed to his son, took his hand and said, "Oh my god! What have you experienced during this time, and why are you so thin? And you were beaten so badly that your nose and face were so bruised and swollen?"
Nangong Jin turned his head and glanced at Shuiyue sitting next to him, pretending not to care and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'm very energetic now and there's nothing wrong with me at all."
"Then sit down and have a good rest." Nangong Song said distressedly.
Then he pulled his son to sit down, and the father and son became quiet, not mentioning what happened during this time.
Seeing that they had finished reminiscing about old times, Gu Chan stared at Zuo Wangfeng and said, "General Zuo, King Nanxian came to collect his son, why did you two follow him?"
"Isn't the Jiangnan Poetry Conference held tomorrow? We thought we would join in the fun, so we came with us. I'm sure the lord won't mind, right?" Zuo Wangfeng said with a hidden knife in his smile.
"Of course I don't mind. The Jiangnan Poetry Society is an annual grand gathering in Jiangnan. If you are willing to come and join in the fun, that is the prosperity of the poetry society." Gu Chan said with a smile.
Zuo Wangfeng immediately stood up and said, "Lord, we won't bother you any more, let's go ahead."
"General Zuo, I won't send you any more," Gu Chan said.
Zuo Wangfeng said no more and immediately led Shuiyue and Nanxian Wang and his son away.
After a while, the four people left the Lord's Mansion in a carriage and headed south of Jiangnan City.
Not long after they left, Wei Xing walked into the lobby with a sneer, sat next to Gu Chan and said, "Would you like to send someone to monitor them?"
"No need, with the abilities of Zuo Wangfeng and Shuiyue, it's useless to send anyone." Gu Chan waved his hand and said. "Looking at them like this, they don't look like they are here to participate in tomorrow's poetry meeting, but rather like they are here to investigate the city's defenses. If they find out the city's defenses, after the poetry meeting is over, it will be convenient for them to attack Jiangnan City. There are too many." Wei Xing reminded in time.
Gu Chan didn't care about this, "I know what's going on. Just let me take care of the Lord's Mansion during this period. As for the subsequent military exercises, I have my own way to deal with him."
< br>
"Okay then! I won't say more about this matter." Wei Xing said with a smile.
"By the way, how are Cheng Hao and Yuanying?" Gu Chan asked.
Wei Xing sighed and said, "Don't worry! They had already quietly left the city in a carriage and returned to Nancheng before dawn. It shouldn't be a big problem."
"Hmph! If anything happens to the two of them on the way, I will have to make Zuo Wangfeng and the others pay the price." Gu Chan said with a livid face.
After saying that, she did not stay too much in the lobby, but got up and left with a stiff face, went back to the backyard room and fell asleep.
Wei Xing put his heart at ease and continued to lead Yuan Jie and Ren Nanshan to take care of the affairs in the lord's house.
In the afternoon at dusk.
While Gu Chan was still sleeping soundly in bed, he was in an inn south of Jiangnan City.
At this time, Prince Nan Xian and his son were hiding in a room upstairs, furious.
After coming to live here, the father and son finally managed to avoid the surveillance of Zuo Wangfeng's men and were able to get along alone. Therefore, by this time, they had already talked about everything that had happened in the recent period.
Nangong Jin naturally believed that Shui Yuexia ordered him to be locked up and tortured in Jiangnan Academy by the old academician. No, after he told the matter, Nangong Song was extremely angry.
Sitting at the table, he clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "What a bastard! You are really cruel. He actually ordered the people from Jiangnan Academy to lock you up and torture you for half a month." , If Gu Chan hadn’t made an exchange with me to protect Cheng Hao and Yuanying, I’m afraid you would have continued to be tortured.”
"Dad, this bitch Shuiyue doesn't take you and me seriously just because she is the crown prince. I can't swallow this feeling of cowardice. I have to teach her a lesson." Nangong Jin said through gritted teeth.
"Don't worry, the Jiangnan Poetry Conference is about to be held now. It's not appropriate to cause trouble during this period. If you want to deal with her, you have to wait until after the poetry conference is over and General Zuo and Gu Chan start military exercises." Nangong Song said while suppressing his anger.
Nangong Jin had no choice but to take a deep breath, control himself to calm down, and temporarily swallow the bad breath into his stomach.
Nangong Song stood up and said, "You have a good rest first and recuperate your energy tonight. I will send someone to Jiangnan Academy soon to find the academicians there to sign up for you. Tomorrow you will also go to the poetry meeting and try to get me a poem." Good ranking.”
"Ah? Am I participating too?" Nangong Jin said dumbfounded.
How could he have imagined that Nangong Song would ask him to attend a poetry meeting.
Nangong Song said with a serious face, "If you want to punish Shui Yue, you have to listen to me this time. As long as you can get a good place in the poetry competition, I can help you teach that bitch a lesson. ”
"Okay, then I'll listen to dad." Nangong Jin agreed hastily.
"Then take a good rest!" Nangong Song ordered.
After saying that, he immediately left and sent someone to Jiangnan Academy to register his son.
Although Nangong Song didn't know what his father's plan was, he still obeyed and lay down on the bed to recharge his batteries.
