The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1100
Xue Miao's eyes widened, and a whining sound came from the cloth-trapped mouth.

Gu Chengyu glanced at Mingyan, "Bring him down!"

Xue Miao looked at Gu Chengyu with disbelief and doubts on his face, what exactly does Gu Chengyu mean?
If you like his ability and want to bring him by your side to do things, then you can tell him.Even if his answer was definitely refusal, it would be a bit strange to tie him up.

Could it be that Gu Chengyu, like those people, knew his true identity and wanted to get what he had?

Thinking of this, Xue Miao couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"Untie him!" Feeling the gentle breeze, Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

He knew that Xue Miao must be guessing his intention to kidnap him at this moment. In fact, he kidnapped him because of that portrait.

According to Man Niu's narration, he drew a human face, which was very familiar at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this person was exactly the image of Xue Miao when he was young?

But Lu Chen was present at that time, in order not to let Lu Chen see the clue, when he was in Yingnan Mansion, he just endured and didn't let anyone go to Xue Miao.

This time he returned to the capital, because Lu Chen was in a hurry to return to his command, so Gu Chengyu simply let Lu Chen go first, and he himself walked slowly behind.

In fact, he did this to get rid of Lu Chen. For this reason, he also entrusted Lu Chen with the task of escorting Min Feng and Man Niu.

After all, Lu Chen is a military commander, so he brings good players.And in the prince's letter, it was also explained in this way, which saved Gu Chengyu a lot of trouble.

Gu Chengyu didn't pay much attention to Lu Chen sharing his credit.

Anyway, it is impossible for him to be promoted in the short term. Giving Lu Chen a favor, or giving Zhan Yuanhou's mansion a favor, can be regarded as an explanation for the alliance.

In fact, the most important thing is that if Lu Chen is not given these benefits, he will follow him.

As soon as Xue Miao's mouth was free, she started yelling.

"Master Gu, what are you doing? If you have anything to do, you can just tell me. Why are you so rude? It's simply insulting."

Ming Yan was untying Xue Miao, when he heard this, he scolded: "Your Excellency has his own reasons for doing things, you just have to accept it!"

Mingyan can't tolerate this old man's disrespect to his lord, who is his lord?How dare this little old man complain?
Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, his words were rather polite.

"Little old man? I don't think Uncle Xue is too old!" Gu Chengyu answered the words with a smile.

Facing Gu Chengyu's half-smile expression, Xue Miao panicked.

"Cough! The little old man is not young anymore." Xue Miao didn't dare to look directly into Gu Chengyu's eyes, and looked at the grass in front of him.

"Should I call you Xue Miao, or Xue Haogui?" Gu Chengyu tilted his head and smiled harmlessly, but what he said made Xue Miao fall into an ice cave.

Xue Miao managed to calm down her chaotic mind, and then said with surprise: "Master Gu, what is the meaning of this? Who is this Xue Haogui?"

Gu Chengyu looked at him seriously for a long while, and just when Xue Miao was about to lose her strength, she opened her mouth again.

"Xue Lao Qi, what's the matter? After so many years, you don't have the courage to admit your past? But you hide your name, but you are reluctant to change your surname. Have you really let go of your future?"

Gu Chengyu watched with satisfaction the struggling look on Xue Miao's face, and he was now sure that this person was Xue Haogui.

"Why did Mr. Gu ask the little old man to say these inexplicable things? The little old man has been from the Changtian Mansion since he was a child. It's just that when he was young, he studied for a few years, then went out to study, and has not returned home for many years. When the sons went out to study, they all died of illness one after another. Later, the little old man went away and left this sad place. He didn’t return to his hometown until he was old.”

Xue Miao looked ahead, with tears in her eyes, as if immersed in her own memories.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "It is indeed a great pity in life that a child wants to be raised but does not wait for his relatives."

"After returning to the village, the old village chief died of illness, and I took his place." Xue Miao retracted her scattered memories, and then turned her attention to Gu Chengyu.

"There are so many lies, do you believe them yourself?" Gu Chengyu found it very funny, are you acting in a TV series?

In his opinion, with such acting skills, he might be able to survive five episodes, no more.

Xue Miao's old face trembled, "Master Gu is joking, this is all the experience of the little old man's life, how can there be a lie?"

Gu Chengyu shook his head with a faint smile, "Xue Lao Qi, maybe you don't know yet, but now people are looking for you everywhere, just for your head."

Xue Miao raised his head in surprise, his eyes showed shock.When he saw Gu Chengyu carefully observing his expression, he quickly lowered his head.

"My lord is joking, the little old man does not owe anyone money, and secondly, he has no history of murder and arson. Whether it is debt collectors or revenge seekers, it is impossible to find the little old man."

Xue Miao tried her best to dodge Gu Chengyu's sinister gaze on him, and was still struggling to die.

"Because you took something that was extremely important to them, or you knew something that they needed to hide."

Gu Chengyu leaned his back against the big tree, and signaled Ming Mo to put the bowls and chopsticks up.

The emperor is big, even if the dynasty is overthrown, he still has to eat, right?

"My lord, why do you have to embarrass the little old man?"

"Then why do you have to hold on? The Xue family is dead, but you are the only one who is still alive. Xue Haozhen saved your life like this, so he must have asked you for an extremely important thing before he died, right? After all these years, you Have you fulfilled your original promise? You are hiding in a corner and trying to survive, but you are worthy of Xue Haozhen's entrustment to you? Are you worthy of Xue's family?"

Gu Chengyu stared directly at Xue Miao with cold eyes, and a series of rhetorical questions made Xue Miao's complexion pale and her lips tremble.

He covered his face and wept, "I can't say it, I can't say it, please stop embarrassing me, sir."

His knees gave way, and he fell to his knees.

"Don't say? You have escaped for so many years and just want to survive. Don't you have a conscience? As a member of the Xue clan, you watched their blood flow like a river, watched their heads roll off the guillotine, and the blood was red. The moat in front of the Meridian Gate, and the land was stained red, it's all Xue's blood."

Gu Chengyu's stern drink made Xue Miao burst into tears, and his body trembled involuntarily.

The memory is too long, so long that he has sealed this past event in his heart, and he is unwilling to mention it for the rest of his life.

He still remembered that even though it was autumn, the sun was still shining brightly.The fiery sun shone on the human body, but there was no trace of warmth, only a biting coldness.

His eyes were bright red, and the intense bright red hurt his eyes.He stumbled back to the house where he was hiding, suffering from a fever for several days.
