Gu Yue turned around and saw Gu Xu looking at the busy street behind him, seeming to be thinking about something.

"what happened?"

"It seems someone is following us." Gu Xu said.

Gu Yue felt a numbness on the back of his neck.

Gu Xu used the opportunity to block the way and squeezed his hand soothingly: "Don't be afraid. There are definitely not many of them, and they are not obvious. It doesn't look like they are going to commit a crime in the street."

As he spoke, he pursed his lips and blew a very short whistle.

The cake vendor stared at them blankly.

Wufeng and Wuhuo soon arrived together.

"What's wrong?" Wu Huo asked naturally without using any honorifics, and then turned to the candy and cake vendor on the side: "How much are you selling this for?"

"Five cents each," the vendor said quickly.

The prices in Luoyang are so horrible!

But considering that it is a fried food made of white flour and filled with sugar, the price is not bad.

Wuhuo counted out twenty coins and said, "Give me four."

After hearing what Gu Xu said, Wu Feng was shocked: "How could it be? We followed them all the way and didn't see anyone with strange movements."

"That person's martial arts may be better than yours." Gu Xu said, "You practiced the art of hiding your tracks, so your martial arts skills are weaker."

"Here, it's a little hot." Wuhuo handed over the cake.

The two of them were very casual, without any sense of burden as secret guards, and just stood by the roadside and ate the candy cakes. Gu Yue looked at the two secret guards who had no sense of crisis, and Gu Xu who was holding the candy cake string, and suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

"How could he really do anything in the busy streets of Luoyang?" Wu Huo said, "His martial arts skills are very good, but he was detected by his master. Either he deliberately exposed his flaws, or he is not familiar with this street."

Gu Xu also thought so, but he didn't take any extra actions just to reassure Gu Yue.

Wufeng and Wuhuo stood between the two stalls and even started chatting.

Gu Yue was confused, what next?

Isn’t this development a bit weird?

Gu Xu didn't say anything, nor did he leave. He opened the oil paper bag in his hand, tested the temperature through it, and held it in front of Gu Yue.

"Eat it while it's hot," he said.

Gu Yue took it and took a bite.

The golden and crispy surface is filled with soft and glutinous white dough. The sugar crisps are placed luxuriously, and you can taste the rich flowing sugar oil at the first bite. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is extremely fragrant.

Delicious, so delicious!

Gu Yue's eyes filled with tears.

As they ate, he understood the purpose of Gu Xu and his two servants' actions. Wu Feng and Wu Huo were obviously taking the opportunity of stopping to talk to peek around, trying to find out where the person who was following them was.

Sure enough, after chatting for a while, Wu Feng patted Wu Huo on the shoulder, said something, and turned and left.

Gu Yue looked at Gu Xu.

"Shall we stop here first today?" Gu Xu asked.

Wu Huo had already taken the things they were holding, and there was still some candy crumbs in his mouth.

"Okay." Gu Yue responded.

I had a lot of fun strolling around and had no complaints.

The two returned to the mansion along the same route. Gu Yue noticed that from the gaps in the low walls of the market towns, he seemed to be able to see the eaves of the Duke Dunxin's mansion, and he remembered the tall pomegranate tree.

……

Just as Gu Yue and the other man entered the Bo Mansion through the back door, Wu Feng also came back from outside.

"So soon? It seems like nothing has been gained." Gu Yue took off his civilian coat and changed back into his own clothes. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. He already felt that the fabrics that Gu Dashi had worn before were rubbing his neck.

Wu Feng didn't like to hear it: "Boss Gu, am I so useless?"

Gu Yuele: "Then tell me, what did you find?"

Gu Xu also laughed: "It's really useless. The last time the Xie family's intelligence was not sent back to the headquarters, what did you find out?"

Wu Feng was suddenly a little embarrassed: "Master... that incident, in my opinion, was purely an accident."

Gu Yue quickly interrupted: "Hey! Let's first talk about the person who was following us on the street."

Gu Xu also nodded: "Yeah."

"I did find someone with suspicious behavior, but he ran away very quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye." Wu Feng said, "But he should not have any intention of hiding his whereabouts. He did not disguise himself as an ordinary citizen. Instead, he looked like a gangster. He was wearing a gray coat and a bamboo hat."

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but he seemed to greet me before he left, as if he was saying hello." Wu Feng scratched his head, "I didn't feel that he had any ill intentions."

Gu Yue was shocked, there really was someone following him!

His brain was working fast, trying to recall whether he had done anything wrong with Gu Xu on the street just now. The people around him had been used to it for a long time, so they might not notice anything, but it might not be the same for outsiders.

"Xiao Xu." He leaned over the table and asked in a low voice, "What we said when we were looking at the New Year pictures... he wouldn't have heard it, right?"

Gu Xu looked at him and asked, "What?"

"That's what you said!" Gu Yue was anxious, "It's extremely treasonous, it sounds wrong!"

Gu Xu smiled. With Wu Feng around, he didn't tease him too much: "If you were really that close, I wouldn't fail to notice it."

Gu Yue glared at him and said, "Don't think I don't know you were playing a trick on me just now!"

Wu Feng looked at the two of them flirting with each other, puzzled.

"Since he hasn't shown up on his own initiative, let's just leave him alone for now." Gu Xu said, "There are no important secrets in the Bo's Mansion, let him go and see."

He continued, "You just said that the Xie family intelligence incident was an accident?"

Wu Feng hurriedly said, "The people on duty at Fengtang are different every day. On that day, Wu Fei was in charge of sorting out the news. He said that he had not received the piece of paper about the shop, but the brothers outside said that they had delivered it together."

"We searched for a long time in Fengtang's room and found that the wind blew it under the counter." Wu Feng said, "That day, Wu Hu from Fengtang came to find Wu Fei to tell him about Chang'an's arrival. Maybe it was because of the wind that he didn't notice it."

Gu Xu frowned and said nothing.

Wu Feng said, "Wu Fei is an old man in Wu Clan. It is said that he had been working in Fengtang when the previous master was still alive. I personally don't believe that there is anything wrong with him. Besides, he has access to more important intelligence. Why didn't he report this?"

Gu Yue said: "This man looks quite reliable. He also played a big role in the Ganzhou case. Who is Wu Hun?"

Wu Feng said: "Wu Hun is a member of Fengtang who was transferred back from the Chang'an branch. It seems that he has been working in Wumen for several years."

"What news did the Chang'an branch send back?" Gu Xu raised his eyes.

"Wu Dai... is the friend of Wu Yan who went out to track Wen Qing that day. He is now fine." Wu Feng's face was full of joy: "The people from the branch found him in the woods. He used the fake death medicine that Wu Ye prepared for everyone, which damaged his vitality and took a long time to recover."

"That's good." Gu Xu nodded.

"Then this matter..." Wu Feng looked at his face carefully.

"Wu Hun and Wu Fei, transfer out of Fengtang and work outside." Gu Xu said.

Wu Feng hesitated to speak, but still said: "Thank you, Master!"
