The group entered the yard. Wuyan and Wuyun stayed outside the yard to avoid being caught in one fell swoop.

The He residence was a small house with only one entrance. The lights were on in the main house, and the walls and pillars were a bit old. The guide took them to the front of the courtyard and said, "Boss Gu, and Mr. Gu Xu, please come in."

Just as he was about to take a step forward, the man said, "Guards, please stay and are not allowed to enter."

Wuhuo and Wufeng looked at each other.

"Oh, so, then we won't go in." Gu Yue stood still. Gu Xu cooperated with everything and had no intention of going in.

The man frowned: "But this..."

"Your master made an appointment secretly without revealing his identity, and now wants us to enter the house without guards. My father and I don't have much skills, what if we are stabbed as soon as we enter the house?" Gu Yue made it clear that he would not cooperate. He gave Shi San a look, and Shi San looked around and nodded.

It means there is no problem in killing your way out.

The man frowned and was about to say something when the bamboo curtain in the main room was lifted.

Jingcun walked out.

"Let them in." Jingcun said, "They can only bring one guard."

Gu Yue was relieved when he saw that it was Jing Cun. Gu Xu's guess was right. It was the prince who asked them to meet. To be safe, he signaled Shi San to follow, while Wu Huo and Wu Feng stayed in the courtyard.

"Lord Jingcun, long time no see." Gu Yue greeted him with a smile, "Last time at Yu Ning Mansion, I left in a hurry and didn't have time to say a few more words."

Jingcun did not respond: "Come into the house."

With Gu Xu in the middle, the three of them entered the house one by one.

Qin Zhaoyue in the room turned around.

His eyes passed Gu Yue and fell on Gu Xu first. There was a moment of trance, Qin Zhaoyue whispered to himself: "...It does look like it."

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Gu Yue stretched out his hand to block Gu Xu behind him, "What do you mean by similar? What's the tone of your voice?"

My scalp goes numb when I see this scene! All the scenes about meeting the son of an old friend are unfolded in this way, with him losing his mind, and then talking to himself, saying things like "really look alike" like an old father...

It's so cliché! I won't watch it! Interrupt the spell!

Qin Zhaoyue came back to his senses and was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Yue's face. This person seemed... different from before? But he quickly put on an elegant smile: "See you again, Gu Dashi."

"Don't try to get close to me." Gu Yue pouted.

"Please take a seat." Qin Zhaoyue sat down on the armchair beside the main seat and motioned the three to take a seat as well.

Gu Yue and Gu Xu sat down at the bottom. Shi San was obviously on guard against Jing Cun in the room. He stood behind Gu Yue like a stone.

"What does your Royal Highness the Crown Prince want us to see? Just tell us." Gu Yue became inexplicably irritated when he saw this person.

"Your actions have been exposed." Qin Zhaoyue said without any context.

Gu Yue's heart sank.

Qin Zhaoyue caught the subtle change in his facial expression and smiled with confidence.

"What action? I don't understand." Gu Yue looked straight at Qin Zhaoyue's face, and when he saw that victorious smile, his heart sank even more.

Qin Zhaoyue thought he had the capital to control him, so he said: "A few nights ago, you sneaked to Sushui County without being noticed by King Yin. But this was discovered by King Yin's people and reported to the king."

Gu Yue stared at Qin Zhaoyue coldly, his mind racing.

How did Qin Zhaoyue know about this?

The Crown Prince and the King of Yin may be enemies in the future, but not necessarily now. But he was willing to come in person and tell the matter, which meant that he and the King of Yin were at least not on the same front, otherwise, there would be no need to say this.

Would King Yin tell Qin Zhaoyue about his plan and the people he had put in place to spy on the Gu family? It was even less likely.

Qin Zhaoyue must have learned about this through some means. He believed that there was something he could use in it, so he used such means to make an appointment and use this matter to test him.

Then King Yin...Does King Yin already know?

Gu Yue tended to think that he didn't know yet.

"Your Highness, please explain in more detail. Alas, I am middle-aged now and my brain is not working well. Why can't I understand you?" Gu Yue scratched his face.

Qin Zhaoyue frowned as expected. But what he said was beyond Gu Yue's expectation: "Compared to the last time we met, Boss Gu looks much younger. Why are you so self-deprecating?"

Oh? Qin Zhaoyue has lines like this? I thought he was always a serious character.

Gu Yue said, "Really younger?" As he spoke, he touched his face, full of emotion. Guessing? I want to see who is anxious.

...Okay, they are a little more anxious, but they will delay for a while to test the waters first.

"...Boss Gu." Qin Zhaoyue said, "Are you not nervous at all?"

"Your Highness, we are just ordinary people. We can't play tricks with a big shot like you." Gu Yue said seriously: "If you have anything to say, just say it. You are the prince, what do you have to be afraid of?"

Qin Zhaoyue pondered.

His eyes swept over Gu Xu behind him. He had been keeping his head down since he entered the room, showing no interest in the conversation. The person standing behind Gu Dashi was also extremely dangerous, and Jingcun was always on edge, never relaxing.

If Gu Dashi was really as smart as he appeared, he should have known the dangers he would face after returning to Yuning Mansion. But even though it was dangerous, he still came after sending out the unsigned appointment note, and brought Gu Xu with him...

With so many skilled guards accompanying him, it is obvious that he has not let his guard down.

Qin Zhaoyue thought for a long time.

"Boss Gu seems to be a straightforward and sincere person, so I'll just speak frankly." Qin Zhaoyue smiled: "You seem to have encountered some troubles? I just came to see if there is anything I can help with."

Finally said it!

Gu Yue said: "It seems that Your Highness has already known some things. How about this, you might as well tell me the news you got. This will also help me remember some things, right?"

Jingcun frowned fiercely. This man was too ungrateful. He had no sense of propriety when he was in Yu Ning Mansion. Not only did he not follow the rules, but he also spoke rudely many times.

But since Qin Zhaoyue didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't go beyond the prince's authority to discipline him.

"It's like this. I recently caught a spy. This person is very unusual. He refused to confess even after being tortured." Qin Zhaoyue was not angry. "But after using some tricks, he finally said that he came from Liuli Town. He discovered that you sneaked into Sushui County when he was monitoring you a few days ago, so he wanted to report to Prince Yin's Mansion."

Gu Yue rubbed his fingers.

It was foreseeable that King Yin would monitor them, but the anti-reconnaissance capabilities of the Wumen people were not just a name. When they left the house, they had confirmed that they had not been discovered by anyone, so how did they leak their whereabouts?

Gu Yue was unwilling to doubt the people around him, but if something went wrong, he still had to start from this aspect to make inferences.

Stone three?
