"Uncle Xu, this isn't appropriate." Gu Zheng said helplessly, seeing that everyone looked at him differently, and that he had offended so many people this time.

"It doesn't matter, these grandsons of mine are so spoiled by his father that they can't even speak. We must teach him a lesson." Xu Jing said solemnly, and at the same time kept scanning his eyes to see who would dare to make a mistake. This time It is necessary to use the wind of thunder to tell them not to provoke ancient disputes casually.

Gu Zheng is not an ordinary person. If he offends the other party, it is not such a simple lesson. It is better for them to say it, but he cannot tell everyone.

"My sons basically have work, only a few are here, and the others can't come back for the time being, let me introduce you." Xu Jing's face turned frosty, and he said to Gu Zheng with a smile on his face.

Aiming at the front, a person who looked about forty years old introduced.

"This is my second son, and now he mainly helps me with some trivial things outside, and his mind is not bad."

Gu Zheng looked over, and it seemed that he was more stable. He had never been hostile to him when Gu Zheng came in. Maybe he was happy and angry, and when he saw Gu Zheng looking over, he nodded with a smile on his face.

Then he pointed to the one next to him,

"This is my fourth son"

"My grandson"

Gu Zheng kept nodding his head as he listened, while watching everyone's reaction, as expected, those Xu Jing's sons had an ordinary attitude towards him, even middle-aged people would appreciate it, and would not use righteousness in it.

And those grandchildren are different. Although they would nod to themselves if they didn’t click on any one, the dissatisfaction in their eyes was still clearly revealed, but there were also a few who expressed kindness to themselves, including Xu Fei who was next to him. .

There are also the wives of the Xu family, there are seven in total, they seem to be really old and strong, but it is obvious that apart from the first lady and the third lady are the most favored, it can be seen from the seating arrangement.

Of course Xu Jing has two brothers, but they don't live here, but live there, and they also entered the court as officials like him.

It took a long time for a stick of incense to introduce everyone to the side.

Gu Zheng saw that Xu Jing was so polite, and he was not a stingy person, so he took out smooth and round pearls and said to everyone.

"It's fate to meet everyone, and this is a little heartfelt gift from me."

As he said that, he asked the maid next to him to distribute it, no more, no less, including everyone including Xu Jing.

"This is?" Xu Jing didn't expect that Gu Zheng would send something to everyone when he came up, even if the things were not good, it would be no different if they appeared from his hands.

"It's just a small thing, usually hung on your body, it can moisten your body at all times and keep your body healthy. If you are in fatal danger, you can eat it to guarantee your life. It is enough to ignore many deadly toxins." Gu Zheng said indifferently. Said.

Of course, these things are only for ordinary people like them, even for fifth-order warriors, Shuang'er rushed to make them last night, just because she wanted Gu Zheng to give him a favor.

Seeing that everyone was looking at the pearl in his hand curiously, Gu Zheng remembered that the pearl in his hand had been placed with Xiangxiang when he left Hardworking, hoping to protect her from danger.

Now the double pearl jade is empty. It is estimated that tens of thousands of years should not be used to conceive new pearls. I don’t know how long it will take to form. In fact, for Gu Zheng, it has been abandoned, especially now that I have the evil power. The defense is stronger than it, it's a bit tasteless, maybe Gu Zheng will send it out sometime.

For this kind of extraneous thing, and it is not powerful, Gu Zheng will not hold it in his hands, because it is really useless to him.

"Really? Is it so magical?" The little lady who was studying said curiously, especially when she heard that it could keep her healthy, she wanted to eat it on the spot.

"Of course, it's just a gadget. I don't have any opinion on how everyone should deal with it. Also, I don't recommend eating it for minor injuries. You will know it in a year." Gu Zheng looked at the third lady and nodded. Nodding his head, he spoke out.

As for whether they believe it or not, Gu Zheng doesn't force it. This is a gift from Shuang'er to thank Shuang'er for taking them in.

The little lady's eyes brightened obviously, and she nodded calmly when she saw Gu Zheng, her heart burst into ecstasy, and she looked at Gu Zheng and the others with much softer eyes.

"Okay, I'll thank you on their behalf. Come and talk while eating." Xu Jing laughed, put the pearls in his hand aside, and said to everyone.

He had achieved his goal at this time, and after taking a few mouthfuls, he said to Gu Zheng, "Nephew, I have to leave first, so just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Hey, Brother Gu, you are so powerful. If I didn't know Grandpa's temper, I would have suspected that you were his illegitimate child. Otherwise, how could I treat you so well? It's beyond my imagination. I would have to give up even if I left." Say hello." Xu Fei said enviously.

"Nothing, it's just that maybe it's too rare, that's why it's so special." Gu Zheng said haha ​​speechlessly, seeing that everyone has started to talk about it, but it's obvious that most of them are talking about themselves.

Although they were all in low voices, I could still hear them clearly. Gu Zheng didn't overhear their conversation, but asked Xu Fei next to him, "Do you know Xu Wei?"

"Xu Wei?" Xu Fei was a little taken aback, swallowed the food in his mouth and asked suspiciously, "You mean the servant who brought you here? Did he offend you?"

"No, it's not him. Is there anyone named Xu Wei among your descendants." Only then did Gu Zheng remember that the person who brought him here seemed to be also named Xu Wei.

"Yes, that's my own younger brother, but he made a mistake some time ago. In order to protect him, grandpa sent him to an office in the snow mountain." Xu Fei said with a gloomy expression.

Gu Zheng's heart moved, he didn't expect such a coincidence, but he still asked suspiciously.

"I see that everyone looks a little worried, did something happen?" Gu Zheng said carefully.

Because regardless of everyone's amiability on the surface, Gu Zheng clearly saw some worries in the depths of his eyes, otherwise Xu Jing would not have left in a hurry.

"Hey, it's a bit far away, and it happens to be related to my younger brother." Xu Fei sighed, picked up the glass of wine in front of him, drank it suddenly, and then said slowly to Gu Zheng.

It's actually very simple, because when Xu Wei came back, he told the Patriarch that the Ye family had sent people to seize the things he had auctioned, and it seemed that he had recruited some people from the monster clan to surround and kill him.

Especially Xu Jing, of course, would not be polite, and directly led Xu Wei to ask for justice, but it was a pity that the Ye family was not sure about admitting it, and they had already quarreled in the court before, and they turned against each other. Framed the Xu family and wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.

And the man who came with him even conspired with the head of the family several times, but unfortunately he never saw him afterwards, and he didn't know where he went.

As a result, the Ye family and the Xu family officially tore apart the curtain and began to fight in a grand manner. Except for the usual Lan family, most of the families more or less started to fight.

But in the current situation, the Xu family is still somewhat at a disadvantage, because compared to the Xu family, the Ye family is more highly valued by the upper side, but that's all.

Both are big families that have stood for thousands of years. Coupled with their respective extensions and expansions, many families have supported the Xu family. How could they be overthrown all at once, and the stalemate persisted like this.

In Fengcheng, they also knew about the turmoil in other countries, but they didn't know the details at all. Because of the protection of the snow mountain, the Ye family kept the outside news from the outside. Even if other people told them, they only said that everything was safe. He deceived the Holy Majesty all his life.

Who let most of the generals be on their side, making the Xu family very anxious, and all the external information began to blur, as if someone was obstructing their people.

Gu Zheng nodded while listening, but he was thinking in his heart that the Yaozu seemed to have exerted their strength, because in a short time, if there were no accidents, troops from dozens of countries would be able to come.

They all gathered around Fengcheng, and he also knew the plan to watch the demon clan, so there must be demon clan lurking in the palace, are those local immortals fools? Let the other party play with it.

As I see it, everything is heading towards the worst situation again, but if the high emperor can speak, at least he still has the strength to fight, because at this time he can already be said to have entrusted himself with a certain power in the dark. Share the consciousness of human beings, and the export method is similar.

That's why Yaozu desperately wants to keep him from knowing what's going on outside. Once he wakes up, it's very likely that all previous efforts will be wasted.

However, the Yaozu has been arranged for such a long time, how can it be said that they have been seen through, even now Xu Jing here thinks that it is a rebellion over there, trying to seek power and escape.

Because there is one army in the hands of the royal family that has the strength of only a thousand people, but all of them are the elite of the elite. Their opponents, maybe there are their people outside.

Hearing the end, Gu Zheng couldn't help but give Xu Fei an order. The other party almost solved many of his problems, and through him, he narrated that he had understood a lot about the situation.

"Well, where is the base of the snow mountain?" Gu Zheng asked quickly when he saw that he had finally finished speaking.

"It's in the North District, because it's relatively clean." Xu Fei said bluntly, "But if you want to find him, I suggest you ask for an ID card, because you just came here, and the situation is unknown now, so don't It was caught by that side, and the management was stricter."

Xu Fei could tell that Gu Zheng seemed to be looking for him for something.

"Yeah." Gu Zheng nodded silently, indicating that he knew.

Soon the banquet ended at the speed of everyone. During the banquet, except for Xu Fei, who had talked to Gu Zheng with the wives, everyone ignored Gu Zheng, as if Gu Zheng did not exist, but The eyes sometimes skip Shuang'er's side occasionally, giving people the feeling that they are still watching Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng was even more happy. Anyway, apart from being a little timid and shy, Shuang'er wanted to bully her, and probably no one had the ability to bully her.

Taking the two little guys who were still full of food, they leisurely returned to their courtyard, let the two little guys relax for a while, and began to point out some shortcomings of each other.

The day passed quickly, and at night, when the night was getting dark, Gu Zheng was lying in the bedroom thinking about something, when suddenly his ears moved, and his closed eyes suddenly opened.

Outside the courtyard door, a figure was walking back and forth at the door, his face was full of struggles, and sometimes he stopped and raised his hand to knock on the courtyard door, but he immediately retracted it as soon as he stretched it out, as if hesitating wearing something.

"Hey." The figure sighed, and when he turned around and was about to leave, the door behind him suddenly creaked softly, which made him turn around suddenly in fright, and saw a figure walking out of it.

"What, is there something? I've been wandering outside for so long."

With the help of the hazy moonlight, he found that it was Gu Zheng who was talking to himself, and his fearful heart relaxed a little.

"I asked a guard before, he and my father are very good friends." The figure said frankly.

"Well, Xu Fei, what's the matter with you?" Gu Zheng said with interest, he had appeared nearby since it got dark, and walked around the door after it was completely dark, obviously he wanted to tell himself something, Or job hunting yourself.

"I showed him the pearl you gave me, and it surprised him." Xu Fei didn't answer directly, but said solemnly, "He told me, that kind of thing is a life-saving thing, and even he couldn't get it." Made it, but you gave us so much, you don't care at all."

Gu Zheng didn't speak, but still looked at him with that expression.

"I think, if possible, can you help me kill Ye Si." Xu Fei took a deep breath, then looked straight at Gu Zheng and said.

"Why? Why do you want to help you kill an irrelevant person." Gu Zheng put down his shoulder-wrapping hands, took a step forward, and quietly closed the courtyard door behind him.

Ye Si is that day's siege

"I believe everything Xu Wei said, including what he said that the Ye family has colluded with the monster clan, but most of them don't believe it at all, because Fengcheng itself has its own formation hidden in it, and no monster can sneak in, but I believe they are not lying, but I have no evidence to prove it, and I think you must have come for that man Zhao Man." Xu Fei said so much in one breath, his body was trembling with excitement.

"Oh, how did you see that?"

"Because I saw an ornament hanging on Miss Shuang'er's waist, it is exactly the same as the spiritual ornament on Zhao Man, so I am sure that you all come from the same place." Xu Fei hesitated, but still spoke out his guess .

After Gu Zheng heard it, he weighed it in his heart. If he killed a mortal for no reason, theoretically speaking, it would have no impact on Gu Zheng at all, and the other party had a damning reason for colluding with the Yaozu.

But things can't be looked at this way. If Gu Zheng didn't become a fairy, then there is no worry at all, but if Yingwei agreed to kill him, it would also bring a little trouble to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng thought this way, but there was no leak on his face, but he walked back and forth a few steps, weighed the strength of it, stared into Xu Fei's eyes, and then said to him.

"Xu Fei, it stands to reason that I can't agree to this request." Gu Zheng opened his mouth and said, seeing the other party's face darken, he continued, "You don't know that the situation here is complicated, but if there is a chance, I will not take it directly. , but I will find an opportunity to see if I can push the other party, and I can only promise you to do so."

Xu Fei's complexion immediately became much better. He had no relationship with the other party for no reason. Even with relatives of the Xu family, the other party would not agree to such a rude request.

You must know that your family and the other party are incompatible now, and you will never help yourself at this time.

"This is a passport. Of course it is borrowed from another family. At least it will save you a little trouble." Xu Fei took out a card-like thing from his sleeve and handed it over.

On it was Gu Zheng's name and a signature of another family's name.

I didn't expect the other party to be so fast, and he had prepared all this for himself in advance.

"Young Master Gu, you don't have to force this matter. In short, thank you very much for agreeing to me." Xu Fei bowed towards Gu Zheng and thanked him.

Said the whole body and walked back, "By the way, I have also inquired about Zhao Man's news. After all, he is also my good friend. I know the last time he appeared outside the palace, and then he seemed to disappear from the world. No news from him."

Just two steps away, Xu Fei stopped again as if thinking of something, and said to Gu Zheng.

Without waiting for Gu Zheng to answer, he hurriedly left here again and disappeared into the night.

Early the next morning, Gu Zheng woke up from his deep sleep. It had been a long time since he had slept so comfortably. At this time, the sound of "hehehaha" came from outside. Ah Shao and the others had already woken up and strictly followed Gu Zheng's requirements. train yourself.

As soon as she went out, she saw Shuang'er was also on the side, but she was watching them exercising, and when she saw Gu Zheng coming out, she immediately stretched her arms in a decent way, pretending to be training.

Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head, ignored them, simply informed them, and went out directly.

I have explained to them before that if there are things I want to do, no one will restrict their freedom, as long as I promise to come back, I have to do things myself, and they can no longer follow me.

He was going to take a closer look at the Xu family's terrain first, as long as it was for Shuang'er's safety, it wouldn't take much time anyway, and then he would go to Fengcheng to see if he could find some differences.

But as soon as he went out, he found Xu Wei who was guarding outside. At this time, seeing Gu Zheng coming out, he who was leaning a little on the edge, immediately stood up straight, and before Gu Zheng asked, he immediately said cleverly.

"Young master Gu, I am under the orders of the master, and I will act as the young master's personal servant for the time being. If you need to run errands, you can just order me directly. Of course, if you need me to disappear, you can also order me."

Xu Wei's tone was a little excited, as if it was his great honor to serve Gu Zheng.

Because his status in the eyes of the master is very special, if he can curry favor with him and please the master, then his status can be upgraded a bit.

Although he is the master's confidant, but he is just claiming to be, that is, the usual affairs in the mansion. It seems honorable to let him run a lot of errands, but his position is not stable at all, he understands this.
