On the fate of rejecting the boss's confession [Quick Transmigration]

At that time, Duke Xu's fiftieth birthday came to many dignitaries. Although the Duke has no real power now, his titles are here, and ordinary dignitaries and kneeling clans naturally rushed to celebrate his birthday. For example, some princes and nobles, or people with status like Ye Changming are inconvenient to lower their status, but they will send people to send congratulatory gifts. This is the case with Gu Shangchen, but the prime minister's son came in person, which can be regarded as giving Xu Maofu enough face.

So when Gu Shangchen led Xiao Ruge in, Xu Maofu greeted him personally with a smile. Naturally, his mouth was full of flattery to the prime minister, but Gu Shangchen still clearly noticed that Xu Maofu saw him behind him. After Xiao Ruge, shock flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. Gu Shangchen didn't like him very much, he only congratulated him officially, and then ordered people to present the birthday gift.

Xu Maofu circled around and still set his sights on Xiao Ruge, his eyes were covered with inquiries, but his face showed a look of admiration, "I don't know who this young master is, he has a handsome appearance and an extraordinary demeanor, he is not an ordinary person at first glance. But I have never heard of it, when did such a person exist in the capital?"

Xiao Ruge's expression froze, and he clenched his fists unconsciously. This person saw him in the wrong eyes that night, and he might have recognized him now.

But before Xiao Ruge opened his mouth, Gu Shangchen curled his lips and said with a smile, "Your Excellency has good eyesight, this is my personal bodyguard."

Xu Maofu's eyes flickered, but he just smiled and welcomed Gu Shangchen and the others into the door. Xiao Ruge finally let out a sigh of relief when he left. It seems that it was a wise move to choose Ye Jinzhao's identity as a cover.

Because there were so many people coming and it was daytime, the birthday banquet was arranged in the huge back garden of the Duke’s Mansion. There was also a stage set up on it, and there were various ancient performances. Gu Shangchen couldn’t enjoy these, so he simply led Xiao Ruge I found a clean place to sit down and eat melon seeds, drink tea and eat fruit or something.

It didn't take long for the birthday banquet to start, and at the same time, performances began on the stage, and Xu Maofu, who is today's birthday star, was always sitting at the front, and Xiao Ruge was sitting next to Gu Shangchen, with a pair of eyes watching Xu Maofu intentionally or unintentionally. Until the show started, Xiao Ruge finally leaned into Gu Shangchen's ear and whispered that he wanted to go out for convenience.

Xiao Ruge's plan was well known to Gu Shangchen, but he didn't show it on his face. After Xiao Ruge left, Gu Shangchen's eyes kept falling on Xu Maofu intentionally or unintentionally, and kept secretly watching his movements.

After about half an hour, Xiao Ruge hadn't come back, Gu Shangchen was a little worried, but at this moment, Gu Shangchen found that Xu Maofu, who had been sitting at the front, had disappeared without knowing when, Gu Shangchen was shocked, and then pretended to be He stood up as if nothing had happened.

After quickly walking around to an empty corner, Gu Shangchen hurriedly asked the system, "Go to Xu Maofu's study, hurry up."

He knew that Xiao Ruge would definitely use this opportunity to go to the Duke's study to find out, but he didn't expect that Xu Maofu would also leave if he didn't pay attention. But a real master who has killed countless enemies on the battlefield, Xiao Ruge is not his opponent at all in the original text, so Gu Shangchen can't help but not worry.

Following the path indicated by the system, Gu Shangchen quickly headed towards Xu Maofu's study. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to approach the study, he suddenly saw a figure flashing out of the courtyard, and then quickly flashing into the fake mangosteen forest outside the study. At this moment, the door of the study room was slammed, and the next second, Xu Maofu followed him out with a cold expression. His eyes were full of murderous intent, and he looked like a vicious person, completely different from his kindness just now. on the contrary.

Seeing Xu Maofu chasing towards the direction of the bamboo forest, Gu Shangchen, who happened to be hiding nearby, jumped out suddenly, pretending to be swaying about nothing, and just happened to bump into Xu Maofu, to be exact, Xu Maofu hit him. on him.

Xu Maofu was startled by the sudden person. After seeing that it was Gu Shangchen, the face that was full of anger was immediately shocked. He quickly reached out and grabbed Gu Shangchen who was about to be knocked out by him. Stabilizing his figure, Xu Maofu said in surprise, "Why is Mr. Ye here?"

Gu Shangchen looked overly frightened, and after seeing Xu Maofu clearly, he showed a hidden anger, and then said angrily, "What are you doing, my lord? You almost knocked me into the rockery." "

Gu Shangchen was still in shock, Xu Maofu didn't even bother to pay attention to his excessive rudeness, his eyes quickly turned to the direction of the rockery just now, where there was no ghost, and he was immediately annoyed.But facing the prime minister, he could only endure it. If he really knocked this man into the rockery just now, this kind of pampered and weak scholar might really fall out, and the prime minister will be there again. How could he let him go.

Xu Maofu has always been the most jealous of Ye Changming, so no matter how angry he is, he can only bear it. He took two deep breaths, then calmed down and said to Gu Shangchen again, "Is your son okay?"

Gu Shangchen covered his painful shoulder without gnawing, but said in an angry way, "I just came out to dissipate the alcohol smell all over my body, so as not to be nagged by my mother when I returned home. I didn't expect to turn around the rockery You were almost knocked into the air."

"My lord was shocked. I'm really used to being a rough old man." Xu Maofu apologized on the surface, but in his heart he despised this kind of weak scholar.

Then there was another comforting message, and Gu Shangchen accepted it as soon as he saw it, and the two returned to the birthday banquet together without embarrassment. After they left, Xiao Ruge held his aching chest slowly from behind the rockery. Slowly got out, looking at the direction where Gu Shangchen disappeared, with a responsible look.

This person saved him again, whether it was a coincidence or an accident, but no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a coincidence.

He took advantage of Xu Maofu's birthday banquet to sneak into the study just now, because he was here for the study, so Xiao Ruge prepared clothes and masks in advance, and because today is Xu Maofu's birthday, the guards also Most of them were arranged to go out, but he entered Xu Maofu's study smoothly.

Taking advantage of no one, Xiao Ruge quickly searched for something in Xu Maofu's study room, but it might be because of his last night breaking into the Duke's mansion, Xu Maofu seemed to be on guard, Xiao Ruge searched for a long time He didn't find any useful clues until after a while, he accidentally came across a rotating bookshelf, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it turned out to be a movable mechanism.

After that, Xiao Ruge found a few letters behind the bookshelf, and quickly scanned the letters with some excitement, but at this moment, the door of the study was suddenly opened, and Xu Maofu who had a fierce face shouted, " How bold!" Then he threw his palm towards Xiao Ruge.

The sudden change caught Xiao Ruge by surprise, but the injuries he had suffered before were not completely healed. Xu Maofu used at least eighty percent of his palms with unimaginable power. over his shoulder.

Xiao Ruge turned over and fell to the side bookshelf. Fortunately, Xiao Ruge's kung fu was extraordinary, and he quickly turned over and flew out of the window enduring the pain in the next second. Seeing this, Xu Maofu was furious, and immediately flew after him. At this moment, Gu Shangchen appeared out of nowhere and blocked Xu Maofu.

Xiao Ruge looked at the direction where the two disappeared with complicated expressions, and then quickly disappeared, and simply dealt with the wounds and abnormalities. When Gu Shangchen and the two returned to the birthday banquet, Xiao Ruge sat in the original position with a positive expression.

Xu Maofu's expression was gloomy, while Gu Shangchen breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until he sat next to Xiao Ruge again that Gu Shangchen tilted his head slightly and leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice, "What did you do just now? Why did it take you so long?"

Xiao Ruge looked at him with a complex expression. He didn't believe that this person didn't know where he had gone, let alone that it was a coincidence that he blocked Xu Maofu just now, but the person in front of him clearly looked serious, as if he really didn't know, couldn't see It came out a little abnormal, and my heart was even more puzzled, but I still just said lightly, "Walking outside, this scene is too noisy."

Gu Shangchen raised his eyebrows calmly, and then agreed very much, "I think so too."

Gu Shangchen looked at Xiao Ruge without any trace, and then suddenly said, "I know you have a lot of secrets, and it is likely that you have a grudge against Xu Guogong or something, but he is not an ordinary person, and his martial arts are unfathomable. Don't act rashly."

Xiao Ruge's eyes flickered and he didn't say anything, Gu Shangchen continued, "If you need anything, you can tell me, maybe I can help."

Xiao Ruge was slightly stunned again, and didn't answer, but suddenly said, "This Xu Guogong has a lot of ostentation, so many people come for his 50th birthday."

Gu Shangchen knew what he wanted to know, and just happened to be looking for an opportunity to give him a popular science, so he explained it to him very thoughtfully.

"This Xu Guogong is not an ordinary person. It is said that he was a ruthless man on the battlefield back then. He killed countless enemies. He was General Xiao Zhan's confidant and lieutenant general ten years ago. There was an obvious change in people's mind, but Gu Shangchen pretended not to see it and continued, "Unfortunately, Xiao Zhan was killed on the spot ten years ago for collaborating with the enemy and treason. Facing a huge danger, at this moment, Xu Maofu stepped forward and led the soldiers to repel the enemy, thus preserving the strength of our army."

Gu Shangchen didn't seem to notice the hatred in Xiao Ruge's dark eyes, nor his clenched fists, and continued, "Xu Maofu made a great contribution because of this. Originally, he could do a lot on the front line, but this Xu Guogong said that General Xiao Zhan had a huge influence on him, and he no longer wanted to go to the battlefield, and the emperor didn't force him, and even personally named him the Duke of the Dynasty."

Before Xiao Ruge came to Beijing, he only knew that Xu Maofu might know the truth about his father back then. I have already guessed something from my appearance.

Xiao Ruge is now certain that Xu Maofu must know the truth back then, no matter what, he will find out the truth about the so-called collaborating with the enemy and treason from him, and he absolutely does not believe that his father will do such a thing.

But now that he has entered the Duke's Mansion twice, Xu Maofu has seen his face again. I am afraid that he has already taken precautions against him. The Duke's Mansion is usually heavily guarded and Xu Maofu's martial arts are still unfathomable, so he can only temporarily Find clues elsewhere.

It just so happened that he just got useful information today, so Xiao Ruge suddenly turned his head and said to Gu Shangchen, "You said just now that you want to help me?"

Gu Shangchen nodded immediately, "Of course, I can do anything for my friends."

Xiao Ruge was stunned, especially the word Gu Shangchen's friend, who seemed to take it for granted, and just helped him again, but he just used him, so he felt a little sorry, so he turned his head and ignored Gu Shangchen. Chen.

"Then help me find someone."

"Who?"

"Hu Dayuan."

Gu Shangchen's heart was like a mirror, but he had a surprised look on his face, "Isn't this the richest man in the capital?"
