"Don't be so nervous."

Qin Zhaoyue smiled, walked forward, and gently put her hand on Gu Yue's shoulder.

Shi San did not sense any murderous intent from him, he just stared at him with his eyes.

"What do you want to say again?" Gu Yue stood straight, looking at Qin Zhaoyue's enlarged face.

"I admire your intelligence. Why don't you give up your evil ways and be my man?" Qin Zhaoyue got close to him, and her voice was like a ghost, lingering in Gu Yue's ears.

"Not only can you survive, but you can live well." The prince tilted his head, as if trying to see through the disguise of his skin.

"After so many years with Gu Xu...your business hasn't improved much, and you've encountered hardships one after another. Has the master behind you ever helped you?" He said with sarcasm, "But it's different with me. I can protect your business and your title, and you can even become an official and a king. It's easy for you to get it."

"I am the legitimate crown prince of Northern Qin." Qin Zhaoyue stared at him with a cold gaze.

Gu Yue knew what he meant.

He simply regarded himself as a subordinate of someone who wanted to fight for power and profit, and also wanted to get close to Gu Xu in order to help the Zhen army. Moreover, he lurked earlier, more secretly, and gained Gu Xu's trust...

But sooner or later she will betray him.

Gu Yue closed his eyes.

Perhaps he was shocked by Qin Zhaoyue's brilliant speculation and was completely unprepared, which was why he felt so nervous.

What is this? The data is given, but Qin Zhaoyue, you applied the wrong formula.

You missed the correct answer.

Gu Yue said: "Your suggestion makes sense. I will consider it carefully."

"Don't try to play tricks." Qin Zhaoyue smiled, but didn't take this to heart: "I will keep an eye on you until you make a decision... I decided to give you something, and you will know when you go back."

Which title is he talking about?

"I will keep an eye out for clues about the Chaozhen Army, but I can't guarantee that Gu Xu will find it." Gu Yue said, "After all, it's just a rumored army. I'm not sure whether it really exists."

"If Gu Xu can't find it, you will find it." Qin Zhaoyue stepped back, and said in an unquestionable tone, "I know you are very smart."

Smart ass!

Gu Yue knew very well that he could only take advantage of the situation because he had control over the plot.

Qin Zhaoyue's actions outside the plot, such as now, quietly investigating his past without his knowledge, and using practical actions to complete the last step of his guess.

There was a sudden noise outside.

The door was suddenly broken open, and Gu Xu, dressed in black, stood outside the door like a Shura, with a smell of blood emanating from his body.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, this thief is rampant, we can't stop him..." A guard followed closely behind him, with blood at the corner of his mouth. He was standing unsteadily and knelt down to apologize.

"It's okay, you guys go down." Qin Zhaoyue said with a frown.

He turned to look at Gu Yue, with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "It seems that he has arranged for someone to monitor you, and he found you so quickly."

Gu Yue knew it, and guessed it was all thanks to Zhen Suhang.

He ignored the prince and walked towards the door, meeting Gu Xu who was striding in. Just as he opened his mouth, before he could say anything, his arm was tightly grasped and he was pulled behind Gu Xu.

"Xiao Xu." Qin Zhaoyue smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you that I had an appointment with Boss Gu. I'm sorry that you were worried."

He looked behind Gu Xu, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"You are very polite." Gu Xu said coldly.

Gu Yue received Qin Zhaoyue's gaze and immediately said, "It's okay, he just wants to ask me something about Ganzhou."

Gu Xu turned around with a bad look on his face.

"Let's go." Gu Yue tugged at his sleeve.

He was a little scared. He didn't want to test Gu Xu's trust in him, especially not passively, by their enemies.

"I'm sorry for hitting your people, but Xiao Xu was just worried about me, so you don't have to pay the money." Gu Yue said with a smile.

Gu Xu held his hand tightly. Gu Yue patted his back soothingly and gave him a look.

"It's okay." Qin Zhaoyue nodded. "I wanted to send someone to take Boss Gu back, but now he doesn't have to work. Xiao Xu, do you want to sit for a while and take a rest?"

"No need." Gu Xu said coldly.

He had no intention of chatting with Qin Zhaoyue. He grabbed Gu Yue and turned away.

Gu Yue was dragged out of the door by him. Gu Xu walked a little fast, but he didn't complain. Instead, he quickened his pace to avoid being dragged and staggering.

In front of the mansion was Gu Xu's black horse.

"Get on the horse." Gu Xu pushed him to the side of the horse.

Gu Yue stepped on the stirrup obediently and got on the horse. Then he felt a squeeze from behind, and Gu Xu also got on.

"This is not good...are we going to squeeze together like this?" Gu Yue's heart tightened.

Gu Xu passed his arm through his side and took the reins. The black horse turned around easily and galloped back.

"Are we going to walk back?" Gu Xu asked. The horse showed no sign of stopping.

"No, where is Shi San? What should we do with him?" Gu Yue turned around and saw Shi San still standing at the door of the mansion.

"And to guard Suzhou and Hangzhou." Gu Xu replied.

Shi San looked at the two people's receding backs.

"They just left like that?" Zhen Suhang and his men drove the carriage and just arrived in front of the mansion when he sighed when he saw this.

Is this really a male channel?

He said to Shi San, "Get in the car, let's go too."

……

The two quickly returned to Hangdou Bookstore.

Gu Yue didn't say a word the whole time. He was thinking about how to explain to Gu Xu.

Gu Xu did not ask anything. They entered the courtyard, dismounted, and then walked towards the residence in the bookstore. This was a separate guest house, very secluded.

Gu Xu's anger had almost subsided.

Gu Yue let him pull him into the house, and they sat down at the table.

"Qin Zhaoyue should have told you." Gu Xu said, "You were named Duke Dunxin. You were still...exposed to the public. I didn't foresee this outcome. I'm sorry."

"These are all small matters. We can just change the plan accordingly." Gu Yue said with a smile.

"I will let the people from Wumen follow you to prevent any accidents." Gu Xu asked, "What did Qin Zhaoyue say to you? If he just wanted to win the credit, he wouldn't force you to go out."

"He said..." Gu Yue stammered.

Gu Xu was puzzled.

"In short, he wants to sow discord between us." Gu Yue picked up what he could say and told him, "He came here for the Chaozhen Army in your hands, and he wants me to be the first to tell him after I get the clues."

"Why would he ask for this?" Gu Xu frowned. "Why does he think he can control you? For this title?"

Gu Yue couldn't answer.

"We already have the only evidence we had. He can't use the incident with King Yin to threaten you." Gu Xu said, "Did he find out something?"

Gu Yue was sweating.

He knew very well that 90% of misunderstandings and conflicts came from poor communication, and he had always adhered to the principle of speaking his mind, but now...

He had no way to explain his origins, and if he wanted to be honest with Gu Xu and tell him Qin Zhaoyue's plan, he would inevitably mention his true identity.

What on earth was Gu Xu thinking?
