He threw the reins in his hand to Gu Yue: "Did you sleep well?"

"Not bad." Gu Yue answered as normally as possible.

He thought about it for a moment, then said, "It's a shame for you to be squeezed in with me."

Over there, Wu Yan had already quickly packed up his things and put them on the carriage. Gu Xu had also mounted his horse and was riding Xiao Hei a few steps to make room for the carriage to turn around.

He turned around after hearing this and said, "It's just a one-night stand, but this unknown friend seems to mind it."

It's really unnecessary for me to say this!

Gu Yue thought angrily.

He also stepped into the stirrups and sat on the horse, responding to everything with silence.

Wu Yan drove onto the official road and couldn't help but look in the direction of Gu Xu.

This guy who looks like Gu Dashi is ignoring his master, so why does his master seem to be in a good mood?

Never mind. This matter is not his business.

Wu Yan thought that as long as the original plan was not delayed and as long as his master was safe and no longer gloomy all day, he didn't care whether this person was Gu Dashi or Gu Xiaoshi.

……

The rest of the journey was uneventful. This section was far from the mountains and into an area with many towns, so it was not difficult to find an inn to stay in before dark.

They arrived at Liuli Town on the morning of the third day.

Gu Yue was already very familiar with the official road between Sushui County and Liuli Town. In the past two years, he often took a carriage or a horse to Sushui County with Gu Xu to do business: most of the time, he handed in his manuscripts to Hangdou Bookstore.

From a distance, he saw the old archway at the entrance of the town.

It's back again.

Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, and a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into the town entrance.

Liuli Town was not very big, so Gu Yue could tell at a glance what changes it had made. In fact, they had not been away for too long, only about a year, but he felt as if he had been away for a lifetime.

There are two more fried chicken shops, but the business seems to be very ordinary. This is understandable. After all, broilers in ancient times cannot grow as quickly as modern white-feathered chickens, and there are too few people who raise them on a large scale. In addition, the oil price is expensive, and the high cost means that the price will not drop too much, and the number of people who can afford it is limited.

Gu Yue was very sensitive about his past business. He had wanted to develop fried chicken in Luoyang and make a fortune, but the business collapsed before it was even halfway done...

It's really collapsed!

Gu Yue smiled speechlessly.

The progress of Hu La Tang has even stagnated.

I first passed by the yard where I used to rent a house. It seemed that there were new residents in the yard. The door was open and bed sheets and clothes were drying in the yard.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the martial arts hall.

The martial arts hall was located almost in the center of Liuli Town, and had an excellent location. But when I got closer, I saw people carrying large boxes of things in and out of the martial arts hall, and the original gate had completely changed its appearance, and the plaque had been taken down.

Rented out?

Gu Yue didn't say anything. His current setting was just...

His train of thought was suddenly interrupted.

A man suddenly appeared out of nowhere and strode towards Xiaobai. Xiaobai was frightened and jumped back, almost knocking Gu Yue off the horse.

The man stopped in front of his horse.

Gu Yue saw his face clearly and widened his eyes slightly.

——Shi San!

He suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Xu. Was this also his arrangement?

Their eyes met again, and this time, Gu Yue clearly saw the inquiry in Gu Xu's eyes.

Shi San said: "You..."

Gu Yue took a deep breath and turned around.

His expression was normal, but his brows were furrowed: "Be careful when walking."

Shi San's face obviously darkened. He looked at Gu Xu who was slowly getting off his horse: "Who is he?"

Gu Xu had already walked up to the two of them.

"Get off the horse, we're here." Gu Xu said to Gu Yue.

"Is this where you want to come?" Gu Yue glanced at Shi San and found that he was also observing him, so his expression became even more tense.

He wants to force himself back to his original life and then force him to reveal his true colors?

Shi San, will he discover his identity?

Gu Yue was full of thoughts. He got off the horse and stood firmly on the ground.

Gu Xu explained to Shi San: "This person has never been named."

"Why bring him?" Shi San asked again.

Gu Xu did not answer.

Gu Yue had already come to the two of them, and hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say. Shi San should have received the letter he left for him, but why was he in Liuli Town?

Judging from the conversation between him and Gu Xu, it was probably arranged by Gu Xu. So are He Gui and the others here too?

Shi San...

He didn't know why Shi San didn't choose to return to freedom but continued to follow Gu Xu, but he was not surprised.

While thinking, Shi San suddenly reached out to Gu Yue.

Before those hands touched Gu Yue's shoulders, they were firmly grasped by Gu Xu.

Shi San looked at Gu Xu coldly.

"This is the guest I invited." Gu Xu said, "Don't be rude."

"Guest?" Shi San stared at Gu Xu's eyes, and then his somewhat cold gaze turned to Gu Yue. Gu Yue keenly noticed that Shi San didn't seem to be as he appeared.

Suspicious eyes moved around the two of them twice, and before any conclusion could be reached, the man who looked like a butler who was directing people to move things in front of the martial arts hall came over.

He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please do not park your horses or vehicles in front of the door. We still need to..."

Halfway through his words, he opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Young Master Gu?!"

This person is Butler Su.

Gu Xu said: "Keep your voice down."

Butler Su had some sense of propriety and immediately stopped talking: "Young Master Gu, why did you come to Liuli Town?"

He glanced at Gu Yue standing beside him, and his eyes widened. But Butler Su blinked, as if he felt dizzy, and looked away again to avoid looking impolite.

Gu Yue watched silently, wanting to see what Gu Xu was up to.

"Please come in and talk." said Butler Su.

He asked people to arrange their horses and vehicles, and he led the three people into the house.

He knew Shi San, and Gu Xu knew him too, but the man in the middle...

He couldn't help but add a little more information to his previous guess.

"Has Su Yingjian arrived?" Gu Xu asked as soon as he stepped into the martial arts hall.

"We're here. Young Master Gu, is there anything going on in Luoyang?" asked Butler Su.

"The emperor has ordered you to be brought to the capital," Gu Xu said, "Take me to see Su Yingjian."

Butler Su was horrified. He didn't have time to ask Gu Xu anything, and knowing that it was a big deal, he ran a few steps and headed to the backyard.

Gu Yue naturally heard the news and was also surprised.

what happened?

Doesn’t the Su family have Prime Minister Su Muying in charge? Why would they be hunted down by the emperor?

No, no, why is the Su family in the martial arts hall in Liuli Town, and it looks like they are moving?

He looked around and found that the layout of the martial arts hall had changed a lot, but it was obvious that it had been transformed into something similar to a residence.

What happened to the Su family?
