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

Chapter 831 Whereabouts exposed
Gu Chengyu was under surveillance in the dark, and he didn't want Lu Chen to know that he had men in Hejian Mansion to inquire about news.

Just as Ding Ba slipped away through the open window at the back, Lu Chen's voice sounded outside the house.

"Jin Yu!" Lu Chen stood still outside the door, waiting for Ming Mo to come out to invite him, and then he entered the room.

"Didn't you rest well yesterday?" Lu Chen scanned Gu Chengyu with his probing eyes, saw that Gu Chengyu's expression was the same as usual, but asked in his mouth.

He looked at Gu Chengyu's clothes, and seeing that Gu Chengyu had changed into a royal blue round-neck robe, he narrowed his eyes.

"I accept the bed!" Gu Chengyu said casually.

"Oh? I slept soundly last night." Lu Chen found a chair and sat down, as if casually glanced at Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Then Mr. Lu should not recognize the bed!"

"Where are you going to start? Have you found out who owns the treasure map?" Seeing Gu Chengyu's expression was natural, Lu Chen had no choice but to let go of his doubts.

"Didn't the emperor assign you a lot of people? Those people should have arrived at Hejian Mansion before us. As for who owns the treasure map, isn't Mr. Lu more clear than the lower officials?"

Mingyan put the court food on the table, and Gu Chengyu had already washed up!
"Didn't you just arrive at Hejian Mansion, haven't you had time to ask yet? However, the emperor has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, and I'm here only to ensure your safety. As for things that require your brain, don't count on me. "

Lu Chen shrugged, and asked Mingyan to serve him a bowl of millet porridge, and tasted the crystal shrimp dumplings on the table.

This Lu Chen's face is not usually thick, Gu Chengyu had already learned it when he was on the road.

Ming Yan knew it would be like this, so the portion of the morning meal was prepared for two people.

"Your Majesty Lu is wrong. Your Majesty praised Master Lu severely in front of the subordinate officials. You must not be modest. You also know that the subordinate officials have a weak foundation. If you don't inquire about the news, the subordinate officials will really be helpless."

Gu Chengyu glanced at Lu Chen, he didn't think that Lu Chen knew nothing about the situation in Hejian Mansion.

Before coming, Lu Chen probably got the news.

"Master Lu! We are grasshoppers on the same rope now, you don't have to hide the news when you get the news. Otherwise, the lower officials won't get the treasure map, and we both won't be able to eat it."

Gu Chengyu was afraid that Lu Chen would trip him up in the dark, so failure in this mission is not allowed.

Otherwise, his promotion would be in vain, and he would have to bear the anger from the emperor.

"Of course I know, Jinyu is still worried about me? When I'm away from home, Jinyu should still call me by my name? Otherwise, it's okay to call me Second Brother Lu!"

Lu Chen smiled faintly, his tone seemed very sincere.

However, he doubted whether Gu Chengyu's words were true.Does Gu Chengyu know nothing about the situation in Hejian Mansion?I'm afraid it's unlikely, right?

"Second brother Lu!" Gu Chengyu didn't refuse, and shouted kindly.

"My lord! Lord Lu's entourage is asking to see you!" Ming Mo, who was guarding outside, came in to report.

Lu Chen wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "Look, isn't this here?"

The capital, in Prince Jing's mansion.

"My lord! Lord Lu and Lord Gu have arrived at Hejian Mansion."

Prince Jing put down the jade flute in his hand, frowned and pondered.

He had spies in Zhan Yuanhou's mansion. Lu Chen set off overnight seven days ago, and he got the news as soon as he left the mansion.

Prince Jing knew that Lu Chen did not intend to conceal his whereabouts, otherwise, relying on the spies of Marquis Zhan Yuan's mansion would not be enough to grasp Lu Chen's whereabouts.

He couldn't understand Lu Chen even more now.Could it be that Lu Chen really cared about the bond between them, and that's why he reminded himself specially?
Prince Jing shook his head, not believing it.But no matter what Lu Chen's intention was, it was true that he got the news.

Unexpectedly, the father would send Gu Chengyu to Hejian Mansion to investigate the matter. It seems that the father really valued Gu Chengyu.

Prince Jing always felt very regretful about not being able to recruit Gu Chengyu.

He was thinking about whether to release this news.Although for a talented person like Gu Chengyu, he naturally appreciates it very much.

But compared with Jiangshan Jiye, talented people seem so insignificant.

Emperor Father already knew about the treasure, so he was hesitant to intervene at the moment.

If we continue to do what we did before, thinking that cranes and clams will fight each other and the fisherman will benefit, it will naturally not work.

He knew Gu Chengyu's ability, if he continued to wait like this, only Gu Chengyu would be the fisherman in the end.

That being the case, it would be better to muddy the water and let Gu Chengyu deal with those difficult enemies.

"Come here! Let the spies in Hejian Mansion reveal the news, saying that the imperial envoy sent by the emperor has arrived in Hejian Mansion."

"So, half of the treasure map is in the Yi Mansion?" Gu Chengyu asked in feigned surprise.

"That's right! What are you going to do?" Lu Chen glanced at Gu Chengyu, but he really wanted to hear Gu Chengyu's plan.

"Don't worry, other forces are still watching, what should we jump out of first?"

Gu Chengyu shook his head, what he cares about now is where the other half of the treasure map is.

Lu Chen had a lot of people under him, and the information he obtained was more comprehensive than his own.Gu Chengyu remembered what happened last night and decided to send someone to monitor Lu Chen carefully.

"Second Brother Lu, hurry up and find out the whereabouts of the other half of the treasure map! If we are still in Hejian Mansion, we can still think of a way. But if we leave Hejian Mansion, the world is so big, we are afraid that we will return disappointed. "

Lu Chen also deeply agrees, only half of it will definitely fail.

Gu Chengyu stayed at home these two days, only staying in the small courtyard to practice calligraphy and draw pictures.

Lu Chen also changed his previous eagerness, and gave a good review of Gu Chengyu's calligraphy and painting.

"My lord! The Yan Mansion sent someone to deliver the greeting card." While Gu Chengyu was painting leisurely, Ming Mo appeared in the small study with a serious face.

Gu Chengyu was taken aback when he heard the words, put down his pen, and took the invitation from Ming Mo.

Before reading the invitation, he took a special look at Lu Chen.

"Yan Mansion? It seems that our whereabouts have been exposed." Lu Chen's face also darkened. He looked up and found that Gu Chengyu's usually intoxicated peach blossom eyes were looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.

Those deep pupils seemed to want to see through themselves.

Lu Chen suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if flustered.

"We just arrived at Hejian Mansion, and we haven't done anything yet! I didn't expect these people to get the news, they are really powerful."

Gu Chengyu took a look at the post and threw it aside.

Gu Chengyu was naturally displeased when his whereabouts were revealed.It is impossible for him to be exposed here, the only possibility is Lu Chen.

Lu Chen and King Jing are friends, maybe it was King Jing who disclosed their visit to Hejian Mansion.
