Gu Yue took a deep breath.

"Calm down. We are taking this too seriously." Gu Yue stopped and turned to Gu Xu: "Things haven't reached the point where he has to kill someone. Otherwise, he could just do it directly without having to come to your house. Right?"

Gu Yue raised his hand and touched his hair: "Even if he wanted to do it, he wouldn't choose to do it here. Zhen Suhang is not a vegetarian. How could he remain indifferent if I was killed in the bookstore?"

"What if he has something to use against Su Hang..." Gu Xu frowned tightly, but lowered his head unconsciously to make it easier for Gu Yue to touch him.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhen Suhang protested.

"You're being too picky." Gu Yue said, "Anyway, it's okay. Everything is under my control."

Originally, this incident was caused by his own negligence, not burning all the manuscripts. If he really died... he wouldn't blame anyone.

He didn't say this, lest Gu Xu, who was becoming increasingly clingy to him, follow him again.

"Okay, I'll be there soon. You just wait here quietly and don't do anything weird." Gu Yue said. He let go of Gu Xu, put on his coat, and walked out of the house.

Gu Xu waited for his back to disappear outside the door and immediately followed him.

……

Wen Qing, what exactly is his purpose?

Gu Yue stood in the corridor for a while, his thoughts in a mess.

From the plot shown in the original text, it can be seen that Wen Qing is very likely a person planted by another force next to the third prince.

But this does not mean that the third prince is completely innocent. Wen Qing will still do things for him on the surface.

The servant looked at him inquiringly and Gu Yue nodded.

No matter what, face it bravely.

The servant pushed open the door. The candlelight in the room was a little dim, but one could still see the man in green sitting in the guest seat. It was Wen Qing.

Seeing this, Wen Qing put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Qianshan, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you tonight."

Gu Yue had a cold expression on his face. He walked to the main seat with Shi San behind him and sat down. The servant served him a cup of tea.

"It's so late at night and it's raining so heavily. What do you want to see me about?" Gu Yue said.

Wen Qing's eyes were glued to Gu Yue's face, as if he wanted to see through the thin disguise. After a while, he moved to Shi San behind him.

Gu Yue noticed the change in Wen Qing's expression and became alert.

"I'm here to apologize to Mr. Qianshan." Wen Qing said, "During the meeting in broad daylight, my guards didn't know the rules and offended you, Mr. Qianshan. Please forgive me."

That guard is really Wen Qing’s man!

Gu Yue had a plan in mind. He said, "I am just an unknown person who writes casual books, why would I do this?"

Wen Qing said: "Sir, you don't seem to be curious about my identity."

...forgot to ask!

Gu Yue already knew him, but due to a moment of negligence, he forgot to confirm with the servant who reported the matter whether Wen Qing had reported his name when he came.

He replied: "If the concierge didn't know your identity, how could he let you in?"

Wen Qing was silent for a moment.

With this answer, he really couldn't tell whether this person was familiar with him.

"I am the calligraphy and painting teacher in the Third Prince's mansion. My name is Wen Qing. Excuse me," he said.

Gu Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Wen, I have received your apologies. If you have nothing else, please go back as soon as possible. I think the rain is going to get heavier."

I'm so tired. Why can't I just say what I want to say?

Gu Yue really wanted to make everything clear directly, but he didn't know what information Wen Qing had, so he couldn't speak rashly, otherwise he would end up blowing up the truck.

Wen Qing remained silent for even longer, as if he was also thinking about what words to use to test her.

"Mr. Qianshan's voice sounds very familiar, and is very similar to a friend of mine who lives in Liuli Town." Wen Qing said.

Gu Yue felt a chill on the back of his neck. He tried to suppress the physical reaction brought on by the strong emotions, lowered his eyes, and then met Wen Qing's eyes again.

Those eyes were full of cold scrutiny.

Is this guy too smart, or has his identity been exposed by a traitor?

"Could it be that Mr. Wen is here to try to build relationships?" Gu Yue said, "I just write some casual books. I come to the bookstore just to make some money. I am not interested in your royal family's power struggle."

"Mr. Qianshan misunderstood. What I meant was... could it be that you are the friend of mine in Liuli Town?" Wen Qing smiled, "Gu Dashi, Gu Qianshan... is very easy to guess."

Gu Yue saw faith in his eyes.

Why on earth was he so sure?

Where did I go wrong?

Wen Qing did not give him a chance to argue, and continued: "I am not talented, but I have a good memory. When I met you in Yuning Mansion that day, Mr. Gu's performance really left a deep impression on me. I thought you were just a commoner with clever words and a little bit of wit, but now it seems that I was wrong."

Damn! Shi San! Kill him!

Gu Yue wanted to give such an order, but he needed more information. This position was not good, and Shi San would not be able to win with one strike if he acted rashly.

Seeing that he remained silent, Wen Qing smiled: "Don't rush to let the big guy next to you take action, I came here to say something."

After Wen Qing confirmed this, he was secretly shocked.

He thought that he was still not on guard against this person. He drew all his attention to the Pepper Garden, and then cooperated with the prince, which made him feel that this person was really an ordinary commoner who had only met the prince once. But he didn't expect that there was such a master around him, and he had close contacts with Hangdou Bookstore, and even involved the traitor.

If things don't go well... I'm afraid I'll really have to ask him to go to the underworld.

Gu Yue did not ignore the cold light in Wen Qing's eyes.

The jar broke!

Gu Yue leaned back in his armchair, his solemn expression suddenly dissipated, and he became relaxed: "Let me guess, you came here today to expose my identity because of the incident in Lingfeng Pavilion two years ago?"

"You and Tang Wuling were searching for the source but to no avail. You found a clue signed by me in the campfire. However, the clue was not complete, so we only discovered the clue when we met a few days ago. That's why you came here at night, braving such a heavy rain..."

Gu Yue smiled: "I was right. What he is hiding is indeed very important."

Wen Qing's expression changed slightly.

"What do you know? Where is he?" Wen Qing asked coldly.

"Such a big reaction? Then the weight of this information has to be raised one level." Gu Yue crossed his arms, "Master Wen, tell me first, what is your purpose? There is no conflict of interest between us, why should we fight?"

Wen Qing said: "You are the prince's man."

"What do you think?" Gu Yue asked back.

Wen Qing was silent.

He made this trip because he was unsure of Gu Dashi's position.

Gu Dashi, a countryman, had only been confirmed to have a connection with the prince by Yuning Mansion. Lingfeng Pavilion and Hidden Dragon Guard had never reported any news of the prince's unusual movements, let alone Gu Dashi who had been hiding behind the scenes for two years.

Before revealing Yue Gu Qianshan's identity, Wen Qing had many guesses, but the answer that this person was Gu Dashi was the only one that made him completely confused.

"Where is that person?" Wen Qing asked.
