Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 990 Be prepared early
Hearing this, Gu Hongzhang and Gu Qingyun lost any luck.

Dai Sizhong and his wife kept saying that they were improving the food for the brothers, but when they went to the Gangtou Army to check, they found that the food had already been eaten.

If it was true as he said, for the sake of the brothers, why would he give precious seafood to prisoners to eat?

Gu Hongzhang's voice was bitter and cold:

"How many years have they been in the army?"

Gu Qingyun thought for a moment and then spoke with difficulty:
"There was only one year between the two of them joining the army. It's been almost ten years now."

Gu Hongzhang closed his eyes and sighed: "Ten years...it turns out it started so early."

After a while, Gu Hongzhang opened his eyes, his eyes full of frost:

"Since we have started to be on guard early, there are far more than just the two of them in the army. Don't alert the enemy. Let reliable people keep an eye on them and see who they have close contacts with. The government... also check."

Gu Ruizhou responded: "How could Cheng want to form a private alliance with the General's Mansion? The Cheng family helped to detect news in Kyoto. If the royal family wants to attack the Cheng family, the General's Mansion needs to be protected. This is a serious matter, so I did not agree to it. He also did not force it, saying If you have any concerns, this news can only be regarded as repaying the kindness of protecting the Cheng family."

Gu Hongzhang: "This boy is quite like his grandfather. You have met him twice. What do you think?"

Gu Ruizhou looked at the faces of Gu Hongzhang and Gu Qingyun and expressed his innermost thoughts:

"I think it's feasible. But this matter is very important, and you can't just listen to his words. If the Cheng family is not pure, I'm afraid it will cause disaster. Find out what happened to the Cheng family and what he said in private before talking about it. It’s safer.”

Gu Qingyun nodded and looked at Gu Hongzhang: "You really have to be careful, but after Chen'er gets married, Zhou'er and I have to leave for the north. Seeing that the wedding is approaching, such a secret matter cannot be investigated privately in a short time. Understand, I’ll have to help my father when the time comes.”

Gu Ruizhou: "I do have a candidate who can take care of my grandfather's worries."

Seeing the two people looking over, Gu Ruizhou's cold expression softened a bit:

"It's Yan'er."

Gu Ruizhou listed everything that Gu Hongzhang and Gu Qingyun knew about Lin Jinyan's actions, and selected some that they didn't know that they could accept. He couldn't help but praise him, and finally said:

"Although Yan'er is a boudoir girl, her vision and mind are beyond the reach of ordinary men. After my father and I left Beijing, my grandfather could discuss anything with Yan'er. As long as you protect Yan'er well, she will not be a strategist. It will be eye-catching.”

Although Gu Hongzhang and Gu Qingyun had always loved Lin Jinyan as a child, they thought of Lin Jinyan's calmness after being in danger a few days ago, and felt that what Gu Ruizhou said was reasonable.

Gu Qingyun: "If you discuss it with multiple people, you can think more carefully. Although Kyoto is not a battlefield, secret schemes are more difficult to guard against than the battlefield. Not only Yan'er, but An'er and Chen'er should know this to avoid being plotted. "

Thinking about how Lin Jinyan almost lost her life and the Gu family almost fell into the conspiracy a few days ago, Gu Hongzhang also felt that he should have taken precautions earlier.

"I've always wanted to protect them so that the children don't have to know about these intrigues. Now it seems that just protecting them is not a good thing. Chen'er is about to get married and support the family, but he still has no intention of letting them know. It's better to let them know. Wait. After An'er comes out of the palace, call him. "

Gu Ruizhou: "We have just sent people to invite them, not only An'er and Yan'er, but also Taifu and uncle. The two families have a close relationship, and we should talk about many things."

Gu Hongzhang looked at his eldest grandson and nodded in relief, his depression relieved a lot.
