Huangxiu

Chapter 101 Come again
Gao Jiong touched his face, feeling confused.

"Where is the token?" Guo Chi couldn't help but ask.

Gao Jiong hesitated.

Guo Chi asked: "Didn't you see it?"

"Hidden somewhere, not with him."

"Hey, is that a lie?" Guo Chi couldn't help but said, "I'm just trying to fool you!"

In the martial arts world, even if a life is saved, you cannot completely trust the other party and must be on guard against the other party saving people with bad intentions.

Some things are more important than life, such as martial arts, treasures, the lives of family members, the fate of the sect, etc.

When he heard these words, he couldn't help but think that this should be a set of self-protection methods, which had a hint of this.

Practice it in advance so that you can use it skillfully at critical moments, even with your eyes closed, to save your life.

This is similar to a killer move.

Gao Jiong said: "I think it's true, he's a very sincere young man."

"Hey, Lao Gao, you can't judge people accurately." Guo Chi said, "You must be lying to me."

Gao Jiong shook his head: "No, it really doesn't look like that."

He looked at Ji Dongxiao.

Ji Dongxiao looked focused and thoughtful: "How about we go over and take a look?"

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Do you think he will give up his love?"

"...I'm afraid not." Ji Dongxiao shook his head.

Guo Chi snorted, "Old Gao, you saved my life, but you are unwilling to give up a token of love?"

"It's different." Ji Dongxiao knew very well the complexity of human hearts.

Sometimes saving a life may not necessarily earn you gratitude from the other party.

There are many cases of repaying kindness with enmity in this world.

The selfishness and greed of human nature and the complexity of the human heart are beyond imagination.

It would be fine if there are no interests involved, but once interests are involved, even the life-saving grace is useless.

"Forget it." Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Guo Chi hurriedly said, "My Lord, what if it is true? ... This is a token of Yaoyue Palace. Yaoyue Palace is not an ordinary sect. It has great masters!"

He looked at Gao Jiong and asked, "Can this token make the Grand Master of Yaoyue Palace go out?"

"It should be possible, right?" Gao Jiong scratched his head: "It doesn't say whether it can or can't."

Yaoyue Palace is the proudest.

If I promise to hold this item, I can persuade Yaoyue Palace to take action. Then Yaoyue Palace will not be petty and will definitely go all out.

If a grandmaster is needed, he will be dispatched without hesitation. This is the pride of Yaoyue Palace.

"My Lord, go and take a look. If it's real, bring it back!" Guo Chi said hurriedly, "This is a token that can be used to summon a great master!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Repaying a favor?"

Guo Chi saw his expression and knew it was impossible. He said with regret: "A token in exchange for his life, there is nothing wrong with that."

"Forget it." Chu Zhiyuan said.

Sun Yanwu had been silent all this time, but he couldn't help but say, "Lao Gao, is this young man really sincere? Don't be fooled by him."

"I think he's a very sincere young man." Gao Jiong said.

He was a little hesitant at this moment.

I was originally very sure that this young man was a sincere guy, but after hearing what they said, I became a little suspicious.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Ji Dongxiao.

It is said that Ji Dongxiao is very meticulous, so I might as well see if that is true.

"Lao Gao," Ji Dongxiao sighed, "This little guy may not be as honest as you think."

As a disciple of Zhenyi Sect, Bai Jingmang's disciple, he would rather lie in an empty house than go back to Zhenyi Sect for help even though he is so close to Zhenyi Sect.

The empty house was most likely prepared by him. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so he left a retreat route on purpose, which can be considered a safe house.

Thinking carefully about what he said to Gao Jiong, it was obvious that he specifically mentioned the token of love.

Saying something so important when you are seriously injured seems naive and even childish.

Mentioning this token at this time may save your life, but it may also arouse covetousness and cause you to lose your life.

This performance is inconsistent.

Therefore, the following words are most likely false. If they are true, then his purpose may be to ask Gao Jiong for help and send him to Yaoyue Palace.

In short, this little guy is not simple.

……

After hearing this speculation, Gao Jiong's face darkened.

Although I didn't expect to receive this token from him, I felt uncomfortable being played like this. I felt that my kindness was wasted, and that the life-saving favor was not exchanged for sincerity, but for deception.

His face became increasingly ugly.

Ji Dongxiao said, "My Lord, I will go with Lao Gao to see this little guy later."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

When Chu Zhiyuan returned to Prince Qing's Mansion, he discovered that there were guests there.

From what Super Sense saw, Chu Minghou was chatting and laughing with a burly middle-aged man in the front hall, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

The two of them were huddled together in front of a desk under the window, looking at a painting on the desk.

Chu Minghou was talking incessantly, and the burly middle-aged man was listening with great interest, asking questions from time to time.

The bright sunshine shines through the window onto the desk, illuminating the magnificent picture of the Snow-capped Mountains on the desk.

Chu Zhiyuan turned his head and looked at Zou Fang.

Zou Fang nodded slightly, floated to the front hall, whispered a few words to Feng Xi in the front hall, and then came back silently.

"But Yuan'er is back? Come in quickly!" Chu Minghou's voice came from the hall.

When he saw Zou Fang, he knew Chu Zhiyuan was back.

Chu Zhiyuan walked forward with a smile, and heard Zou Fang's secret voice transmission in his ear: "My Lord, the guest is Marquis Jianchi."

Chu Zhiyuan stopped talking and turned to look at him.

At this time, he had already walked to the bottom of the steps in the front hall. When he was about to step up the steps, he stopped and took his steps back.

Zou Fang nodded slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Marquis Jianchi.

The guy who proposed to my younger sister two days ago.

At that time, Bai Ningshuang sent the matchmaker away because she looked down on the son of Jianchi Hou's family.

It was not only because Marquis Jianchi was a new noble, nor was it only because his son was incompetent, but more importantly, his family background was not a good match for him.

He is just a newly promoted marquis, but his son wants to marry a princess. The gap between their family backgrounds is a bit too big.

If the newly promoted marquis is in his twenties, he is still qualified to propose marriage to the princess.

But now, he is the son of a marquis, but he did not inherit the title of marquis, but only a nominal position of a Feng'en general.

Marrying a princess with such an identity is just a dream.

Just here to get a bargain.

Bai Ningshuang did not kick the matchmaker out, but politely declined and sent him away, which showed her high level of self-cultivation.

If he dared to go to any duke's mansion to propose marriage, he would be beaten with sticks by the duke's mansion.

"Yuan'er, come quickly." Chu Minghou said with a smile, "Look at Lord Guo's painting of a thousand miles of snow-capped peaks."

Chu Zhiyuan coughed lightly and slowly stepped onto the stairs.

Zou Fang walked forward and lifted the thick white felt curtain.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped over the threshold and walked slowly into the house.

The house is warm as spring.

"Greetings, Your Highness." The burly middle-aged man beside the desk clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Sorry for interrupting you so hastily. Your Highness, please don't blame me for being so abrupt."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Greetings, Lord Guo. This is... the Thousand Miles Snow Peak Map?"

He walked up to the desk and took a look.

What comes to your face is countless heroic spirit. The painting scroll, which is only two feet wide and ten feet long, can capture the thousands of miles of snow-capped peaks.

This is indeed a very high level of painting technique. No wonder Chu Minghou was so excited.

It hit him right in the face.

"What a great painting! What a great painting!" Chu Zhiyuan exclaimed, "A masterpiece by a famous artist!"

"It was painted by an unknown scholar on the border. I saw it by chance on the street and thought it was beautiful, so I bought it for ten taels of silver."

"Ten taels of silver..." Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "My Lord, you are so lucky."

He looked at Chu Minghou and said, "I got Master Ouyang Qiongwang's painting for only ten taels of silver. I am really lucky!"

Chu Minghou was startled, looked at it for a few times, and nodded solemnly: "Yes, it should be Master Ouyang's! No wonder it looks familiar."

He said with emotion: "Since leaving Yujing, Master Ouyang is said to have gone to the border to see all the mountains and rivers in the world to broaden his mind... Master Ouyang's skills have reached a higher level. No wonder, no wonder, only Master Ouyang can create such a wonderful painting!"

He was not surprised by Chu Zhiyuan's keen eyesight.

I often can't see it, but Chu Zhiyuan can, and after a few times, I get used to it.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "My Lord, are you here to propose marriage?"
