"Who else could it be if it's not you?" Chu Shiling muttered in a low voice, curling her lips secretly, "I've seen it before, he's interested in you, no, he came all the way to find you!"

Hearing this, Gu Ning rolled his eyes fiercely: "Which eye of yours saw him coming all the way to find me?"

Gu Ning knew it well, even if Yan Yu came all the way to find him, it was to seek revenge.

Yan Yu is not stupid. After he escaped from the dead, he only needs to think about those things carefully, and he will definitely find out what is abnormal. In this way, she, Gu Ning, has become the number one suspect.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning gritted his teeth, kept his face calm, and still looked at Yan Yu proudly: "It's really strange that there are still people who miss the life of being a hostage."

Her tone was cold, her face was impatient, showing her dislike for Yan Yu everywhere.

However, Yan Yu still had that gentle appearance. He was suave and suave. When his eyes were fixed on Gu Ning, the women who were watching at the side felt their hearts were about to burst out.

What a blessing to be faithfully loved by such a handsome man!

Even Chu Shiling couldn't help feeling distressed for a second when she saw the flash of disappointment in Yan Yu's eyes: "At any rate, he looks good, why do you..."

"The more attractive a man is, the more untrustworthy he is." Gu Ning told her, "Especially this man can speak sweet words!"

"If you think about it with your toes, you can tell. How could anyone miss the days when he was taken hostage? He must be a liar!"

Gu Ning spoke eloquently, and never deliberately lowered her voice. Everything she said could be heard clearly by the people around her.

The smile on Yan Yu's face froze for a while, and then he took a few steps forward and squeezed Gu Ning's wrist with one hand, "Master, you might as well take a step to speak."

Before Gu Ning could speak, he added in a low voice: "The county lord doesn't want to be discovered by others, does he?"

I have to say that Yan Yu's words really caught Gu Ning.

But soon, Gu Ning used ingenuity to break free from his hand, and his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of arrogance: "Do you think anyone will believe it?"

"I'm just a weak woman, how can I have such a great ability?" Gu Ning's tone was contemptuous, as if mocking Yan Yu's arrogance, "If you tell this matter, they will only think that it is in your hands."

With that said, Gu Ning looked at Yan Yu several times.

Under Yan Yu's eyes that were so cold that he wanted to eat people, Gu Ning chuckled, and leaned into his ear and whispered: "Or is it that Yan Zhizi is confident that he can compete with your imperial brothers?"

She really didn't want to let people know about the treasure, but why didn't Yan Yu do that?

She didn't want the emperor to find out, and Yan Yu wanted to enjoy the treasure all by herself. Who didn't have selfish motives?

Sure enough, Yan Yu paused for a moment, the original chance of winning was in his hands, but now everything became uncertain.

That's right, he will never hand over the treasure to others. He is just a dog with a higher status in Yan Kingdom now. Once his greedy brothers find out about the treasure, he will never give it up again. No chance of comeback!

So, Yan Yu took the initiative to take a step back.

"Since the county lord is unwilling, this king will naturally not force it."

Yan Yu smiled very gently, and even asked the guards around him to make way for Gu Ning.

Seeing Gu Ning leave, the arc of his lips dropped completely.

"Is there any big movement in the capital these days?" Yan Yu asked the people behind him coldly.

Hearing this, Ting Feng came out from the group of guards, and replied in a low voice: "There is not much movement, the most news is that the emperor of Chu is not in good health, the second prince Chu Mengyang and the crown prince Chu Yun There is a lot of trouble between Yi, and there are even rumors that Chu Yunyi has contacts with our country of Yan."

Yan Yu smiled: "The second prince is a smart man, and he knows how to divert trouble."

Although he was smiling, the coldness in his eyes was particularly obvious.

Seeing his appearance, Tingfeng's voice became quieter: "Just looking at the actions of the Emperor of Chu, it is clear that he wants to blame the Pei family for this matter, and he loves the prince very much."

"That's not necessarily true." Yan Yu squeezed his wrist lightly, as if there was still the touch of Gu Ning's fingers on the wrist, his eyes gradually became darker, "This king thinks that the emperor of Chu is not a fool, he There must be no plans."

"Then the second prince of Chu..."

"Less communication."

As soon as Yan Yu's voice fell, she saw the uneasiness in Tingfeng's eyes: "Is it not good for us to do this? After all, we and the second prince of Chu..."

"Our purpose is not to form an alliance with Chu Mengyang." Yan Yu said lightly, "Our purpose is to marry Gu Ning back to Yan."

"You really want to marry her?" Tingfeng's expression changed drastically.

However, the slight smile in Yan Yu's eyes was enough for Ting Feng to understand that Yan Yu really thought so!

For a moment, Ting Feng lowered his head, not daring to raise any doubts about Yan Yu's actions.

Leaving Yan Yu's sight, Gu Ning only felt that a big stone had been lifted from her heart, she took a deep breath, and her steps became brisk.

"Why do I feel that Yan Yu is really interested in you?" Chu Shiling was still immersed in the incident just now, and whispered to himself, "The way he looks at you, I can't see clearly."

Gu Ning rolled his eyes angrily, pulled the flesh on Chu Shiling's cheek, and said with a sly smile: "Do you still think it's a good thing to be seen by him? When you marry the Huns and get married, I will marry you." Marry to the country of Yan and get married? The best of both worlds?"

Hearing this, Chu Shiling quickly waved his hands.

The picture depicted in these words was indeed a bit terrifying, she didn't want to think about what would happen to herself if she fell into the hands of those rude Huns!

"No no no!" Chu Shiling said quickly, "I just said it casually."

Seeing Gu Ning's temporarily calm face, she said again: "In this case, did he also come here to disintegrate the military power of the Pei family?"

After listening to some other people's comments in the past few days, Chu Shiling already knew that the Xiongnu was interested in Gu Ning, and Yan Yu's appearance today was clearly an abacus with the Xiongnu.

Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid they all came here with the purpose of alienating the Pei family from the royal family.

"You're smart." Gu Ning snorted softly, and tied all the hair on her temples behind her ears. Facing the cold winter wind, she only had firmness in her eyes, "But their wishful thinking may not come true!"

Chu Shiling nodded and agreed very much: "That's right, the emperor will never let you go to make a kiss!"

Hearing this, Gu Ning swallowed the words that had just reached his lips.

She looked at Chu Shiling with complicated eyes: "You have been with me for so long, why haven't you learned a bit of my wisdom?"

"For Yan and Huns, the Pei family is the biggest threat, but for the emperor, the Pei family who holds the military power is not a threat?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Chu Shiling's face disappeared, and she said stiffly: "You mean, the emperor also wants to send you out for marriage?"

Seeing that Gu Ning nodded nonchalantly, Chu Shiling became impatient: "No way! How can you go to have a marriage! The country of Yan is cold all year round, and the Huns are full of yellow sand. No matter where you should go!"

As she spoke, she turned around Gu Ning anxiously. She was in a hurry when she suddenly thought of something. She slapped her head and said happily, "You and Mr. Xie are already engaged, and their plan will definitely not succeed!"

Seeing Chu Shiling's happy appearance, Gu Ning's light words poured on her head like cold water.

"That's not necessarily true. What if Yu Wentuo and I were caught in bed?" Gu Ning blinked at Chu Shiling, his voice suddenly lowered, and said quietly, "It's like Gu Qingqiu and the prince that day. At that time, I will marry even if I don't want to!"

Chu Shiling only felt a chill down her spine, subconsciously took Gu Ning's hand, and murmured: "Could the emperor also use such a dirty trick?"

"Those who make big things don't care about small details." Gu Ning said meaningfully, "Some things are uncertain."

"Then..." Chu Shiling swallowed, and said with difficulty, "Then what should you do? Do you want to sit and wait for death?"

"Of course I won't sit still." Gu Ning gently raised his chin, and snorted coldly, "The kung fu of those three-legged cats can't be counted on me!"

Seeing that Gu Ning was so determined, Chu Shiling was relieved, but at the same time reminded: "You can't let your guard down, I've heard my mother say it many times, there are so many insidious methods in the royal family, it's hard to guard against!"

As he said that, Chu Shiling rolled his eyes and suggested: "Why don't you and Mr. Xie get married immediately, they can't force you who are already married to get married again!"

"You don't have to worry about these things." Gu Ning rubbed Chu Shiling's head, and under Chu Shiling's glaring gaze, he said calmly, "I have already planned."

……

After returning to Pei's house, as soon as he reached the gate, Gu Ning thought about it, walked into Xie's mansion beside him.

Seeing Gu Ning, the guards of Xie Mansion looked at me and I looked at you, then quickly lowered their heads again, and a sharp-eyed and quick-footed man had already slipped into the front hall while taking advantage of this time.

Gu Ning was about to pass through the screen wall when he was stopped by the guards.

"What?" Gu Ning's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked suspiciously at several people, "Is there any secret inside? You still want to stop me?"

"Of course not!" The guard almost jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He said hastily, "It's just that the master is still discussing important matters inside, and the county master may have to wait in the side hall."

"Strange." Gu Ning squeezed his chin, very puzzled, "But I have never been treated like this when I came here before. Is there something Xie Yan is hiding from me?"

"No no no! Subordinates dare not!"

The guard repeatedly begged for mercy, but Gu Ning stood at the door and stopped going in.

Seeing her like this, the guards thought that their tricks had worked. Unexpectedly, Gu Ning raised his eyes and walked quickly through the screen wall and into the front hall while the others were relaxing.

"Hey! The county lord stays behind!"

Gu Ning ignored the two of them, and just walked into the front hall, she was stunned.
