It is said that I was cannon fodder

When Lin Yi heard the news, he was holding a piece of information about the ancient paintings that Gu Jinyu had ordered.

His complexion changed again and again, and he always felt that he was being tricked. If he had known that there would be such a "reward", he might not have agreed to Gu Jinyu's exchange terms.

Of course, he can go back on his word now and secretly order to kill people. As long as it works properly, everyone in the Demon Cult may not hold him accountable.

But after hesitating for a while, he still gave up. Once he repented, it meant that he had offended Gu Jinyu and Ye Weiran standing behind Gu Jinyu. This might be more terrifying than offending Ye Weiran directly, and he didn't want to take the risk.

After making up his mind, Lin Yi's heart calmed down instead.

What Gu Jinyu specified was a landscape painting called "Little Cold Mountain". This painting disappeared more than 100 years ago, but it suddenly reappeared for some reason recently, and was finally bought by the second son of Wuya Villa.

Lin Yi felt a little strange. He only believed half of Gu Jinyu's words at most. Naturally, he would not believe that the other party just took a fancy to this painting. You must know that if Gu Jinyu asked people from Tibetan Medicine Valley to come forward, he might not be able to exchange for this painting. , but the other party did not do so.

In his opinion, either Gu Jinyu had an enmity with the people of Wuya Villa and deliberately wanted to disgrace Wuya Villa, or there was something wrong with the painting, hiding an ulterior secret. He guessed that the latter was more likely high.

After all, he had never heard of the conflict between Wuya Mountain Villa and Tibetan Medicine Valley, and although "Little Cold Mountain" is a famous painting, it appeared suddenly and hardly caused any disturbance, which is very abnormal.

If the name of this painting is publicized, the value of the painting will definitely be maximized, but this painting has not even caused a splash in the rivers and lakes. Under such circumstances, Gu Jinyu actually has his eye on it, which is even more unusual.

Of course, Lin Yi just thought about it, and didn't continue to explore the hidden meaning in the painting. After all, his goal was the painting itself, not the secret hidden in it. What a waste of money.

When Lin Yi was thinking about how to win the painting more safely, a group of people in Huzhou were also thinking about painting.

"Shuzhi, have you found out where that thing is hidden?" Cheng Ming asked. He was seriously injured before, and even though he had taken the holy medicine for healing, his complexion was still a little pale, but there were some things he had to ask himself.

Meng Chang shook his head, "Too many paintings were shipped in the same batch, and then they were sent to various places, and no one knows if someone secretly hid the paintings. big."

Cheng Ming frowned, "Isn't it okay to use those people in Jianghu?"

Meng Chang paused, and suddenly thought of the major events that happened in the Jianghu recently. Because of the killing orders of the Tibetan Medicine Valley and the Song family, the Jianghu became a mess. easy.

Thinking of the culprit that caused all this, he finally didn't mention it, but said: "There are mixed people, fish and dragons in the rivers and lakes. I'm afraid of leaking the news, so I don't want to rely too much on them."

Cheng Ming thought about it, and felt that what Meng Chang said was right, those reckless men in the Jianghu were really untrustworthy, so he didn't mention this again, but just urged Meng Chang to find the painting as soon as possible.

Meng Chang had no response, he left Cheng Ming's room, and just as he was about to return to his own room, he saw Fang Yunchen bringing someone over with a food box in his hand.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." Meng Chang took the lead in saluting.

Fang Yunchen hastily stepped forward to stop him, and stretched out his hand to help, "Brother Meng, you don't need to be polite, this time is thanks to you, otherwise Brother Ming wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

"This is what I should do," Meng Chang took a step back and distanced himself from him, maintaining a proper smile on his face, "Your Highness is going to see Yuan Hui, so I won't bother His Highness."

Fang Yunchen seemed to want to say something, but Meng Chang had already passed by.

Watching him walk away, Fang Yunchen's eyes showed a trace of grievance, "Does Brother Meng hate me?"

Ah Fu, who was following behind him, hurriedly said: "How could it be? Your Highness has always been gentle and kind-hearted, no one will dislike you."

"Then why does Brother Meng always look distant and indifferent when he sees me?"

"Young Master Meng knows about you and His Royal Highness, and he and His Royal Highness are good friends. This slave thinks that the reason why Young Master Meng treats you coldly is for His Highness's sake, so as not to let outsiders gossip."

Fang Yunchen's mood suddenly turned cloudy after hearing this, "You still think clearly."

"I don't dare to be a slave," Ah Fu apologized with a smile, "His Highness is just a party, and he got into a dead end for a while. Without the reminder of the slave, His Highness can figure it out quickly."

Fang Yunchen was very relieved by what he said, no longer entangled with Meng Chang's affairs, and walked quickly towards the place where Cheng Ming was.

The conversation between the two of them quickly reached Meng Chang's ears verbatim, and Mo Zhu, who was by his side, immediately showed resentment when he heard it: "That idiot always speaks out loud, and it will definitely drag you down!"

They could get the news, and Cheng Ming, who had been following Fang Yunchen, would naturally get the news too, and it would be their young master who would make people suspect, and Mo Zhu was indignant about this.

Meng Chang's expression remained unchanged, "You know that disaster comes from your mouth, so you shouldn't have said that. You should change your temper."

Mo Zhu's expression was slightly stagnant, and he said embarrassingly: "It's only with you, young master, that I dare to say that I will pay more attention outside, and that Seventh Highness is really annoying."

Meng Chang frowned, "You don't need to mention him anymore, what happened to what I asked you to do earlier?"

When it comes to business, Mo Zhu's face is serious, "The news has been sent out."

Meng Chang calmed down a bit, thought for a while, and asked again: "Have you found Gu Jinyu's whereabouts?"

Mo Zhu shook his head, and said: "The last place that Mr. Gu appeared was Yangzhou, and no one has seen him since, but the owner of the Tibetan Medicine Valley once appeared in Yangzhou after his accident in Feiyun Castle."

Meng Chang was not surprised when he heard this, Ye Weiran has always cared about his junior, now that Gu Jinyu has made such a big commotion, it would be strange if Ye Weiran didn't express it.

With Ye Weiran's protection, other people who were implicated because of Feiyun Castle would not dare to do anything to Gu Jinyu, but after hesitating for a moment, he still ordered: "Arrange someone to pay attention to Gu Jinyu's whereabouts. If he is in trouble, let someone Help out."

……

Gu Jinyu, who was missed by others, was on his way to Lin'an at the moment. He changed his face again, looking ordinary. At this moment, this dull face showed a bit of curiosity.

He was sizing up the person in front of him—Jun Lou, the master of the Dark Pavilion. According to the plot, this person was also one of the cannon fodder the protagonist suffered. He was supposed to be picked up by Fang Yunchen who sneaked out of the palace one day, but now something happened. He was picked up by Gu Jinyu first.

After Junlou woke up, there was no dangerous and domineering opening statement, but instead he showed a silly and sweet smile, with an innocent face.

Gu Jinyu tried to find traces of him pretending to be stupid, but failed. This guy can do whatever he is asked to do, without the slightest majesty as the master of a cabinet.

In the end, Gu Jinyu could only come to a conclusion—he tried to poison Junlou to control him, but the poison he poisoned had an uncontrollable reaction with the remaining toxin in the opponent's body, making the opponent stupid. After the toxin was removed, would the opponent be able to recover? Normal, he doesn't know either.

After struggling for a few seconds, Gu Jinyu happily studied this mixed toxin. Compared with Jun Lou, this strange poison was obviously more interesting to him.

Perhaps it was because the first person he saw was Gu Jinyu, so Junlou was very cooperative, giving the needles the injections, and testing the medicines, so before arriving in Lin'an, Gu Jinyu successfully harvested a drug he named "decontamination decontamination". The poison of the pill.

A decontamination pill is enough to empty the brain with one click, guaranteeing to return to the silly, white and sweet, and the effect of the medicine is immediate.

He also developed an antidote at the same time, but the effect of the antidote was not so obvious.

For example, Jun Lou, who has eliminated all the toxins in his body, but is still a fool, giving him a piece of jerky can make him happy for a long time.

Gu Jinyu didn't leave him halfway, but instead led them into Lin'an City. Tsing Yi had already ordered them to make arrangements in advance, so they didn't have to worry about having no place to live.

Asking someone to take care of Junlou, Gu Jinyu took Tsing Yi to the leader's mansion, because he had already greeted him, and after receiving the notification, An Buyu came out to greet him in person, with a sincere smile on his face.

"Jinyu, you're finally here. Let's take a rest in the mansion for a day, and then I'll take you around Lin'an City."

Gu Jinyu smiled and said, "I'm here to visit Uncle An today. See you again. As for the residence, my people have already arranged it."

Hearing what he said, An didn't say anything and didn't force her, she just made an appointment with him to visit Lin'an City in a few days.

The two walked for a while, Gu Jinyu found that the route was wrong, and asked a little strangely: "Uncle An has guests?"

An Buyu's expression stagnated slightly, showing a wry smile: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, and you came today by coincidence, and the people from over there just happened to be here." He pointed in the direction of the imperial city, with a serious face on his face.

Gu Jinyu understood that this world is far from being so free. Many forces are secretly involved with the imperial court, and some forces are even originally the secret forces of certain princes or officials.

This is not the case for An Cheng, the leader of the martial arts alliance. His identity is doomed that he cannot take refuge in a certain side, otherwise what awaits him will be a disaster of death. Therefore, when facing the people of the court, the An family has to be cautious.

In addition, Gu Jinyu made such a fuss earlier, An Buyu was afraid that he would block other people's eyes and cause trouble, so he didn't dare to let him meet people from the palace.

Gu Jinyu didn't think that what he did now would cause any trouble, and he just destroyed a Feiyun Fort. This incident didn't cause much trouble at all, not to mention that his identity was still very useful.

Tibetan Medicine Valley is most famous for its superb medical skills, which is also the foundation of its standing. His identity as one of the Tibetan Medicine Valley's successors is still a relatively useful sign.

But Gu Jinyu didn't reject An Buyu's kindness, he was not afraid that the people in the palace didn't mean he was willing to deal with them, some troubles could be avoided if he could, so as not to make himself unhappy.
