Gu Zhao looked at Qin Xinglie in front of him with a distant expression and an angry expression, "The Nineteenth Young Master is the guest of honor at tonight's banquet. It would be too rude to leave early."

"Is it possible that in the eyes of the Nineteenth Young Master, Commander Zhong's face is so worthless?"

Qin Xinglie looked at Gu Zhao carefully, trying to find traces of Gu Zhao on this Donghao man.

The anger on Gu Zhao's face became more and more intense. He flicked his sleeves, walked around the tall figure blocking him and walked out.

Qin Xinglie didn't speak anymore, but he didn't give up either. Instead, he opened his long legs and walked beside Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao quickened his pace. He was not in a hurry, he just kept the same speed as Gu Zhao and walked out along the corridor.

"Are all people in Bei'an so ignorant of etiquette?" Gu Zhao stopped suddenly, with a sarcastic tone in his voice, "Do you still have ulterior motives, Mr. Nineteen?"

Qin Xinglie stared deeply at the young man in front of him. He pressed on so hard just to see what he looked like when he was angry.

People can pretend when they are calm, but when they become angry, their true selves are often revealed.

Gu Zhao's expression, actions, and tone when he was angry were all recalled in his heart countless times over the years.

However, although the man in front of him was angry, the reserved expression of the aristocrat on his face did not disappear, and his tone remained condescending and sarcastic;

When Gu Zhao was angry, what impressed Qin Xinglie the most was her eyes that were as bright as stars, as bright as if they were burning...

Just as he was about to say something more to stimulate the other party, he heard footsteps coming from behind. Gu Zhao's eyes lit up, "Brother, why are you here?"

Qin Xinglie didn't need to look back, he already knew who was coming.

Sure enough, the short Donghao City Guards officer walked past him and looked at Gu Zhao with concern, "Brother Lu Guang, didn't I tell you that my brother would send you back? Why didn't you wait for me?"

Gu Zhao smiled a little shyly, "It's okay if I leave in the middle of the meeting. As an elder brother, I'm afraid it's hard for me to leave so early, right?"

Qin Xinglie looked at her smile and frowned again. If she were Gu Zhao, how could she be so close to a senior official of the Donghao City Guards? He wanted to know how deep Gu Zhao's hatred for Donghao was.

But on the other hand, if Gu Zhao came to Douchuan Pass, it was imperative to get close to these Donghao executives if he wanted to succeed.

With her cunning and understanding of people, it is entirely possible to deceive the trust of these Donghao executives.

As if he had just seen Qin Xinglie, Yun Congheng turned around and saluted him politely, "Nineteenth Young Master, I'm sorry. Brother Lu Guang is too drunk. I will send him home first."

Qin Xinglie said nothing, just stood there and watched the two figures walking away side by side.

It wasn't until he turned a corner and couldn't feel the sight behind him that Gu Zhao complained, "This Bei'an pig! It's so bullying! You just dared to block my way and insisted on talking nonsense with me!"

"I really don't know what he wants to do! Extremely rude!"

"If he hadn't been Zhongshuai's distinguished guest, I would have taught him a lesson!"

Yun Congheng's face was not as relaxed as before, and he just listened quietly to Gu Zhao's complaints.

Gu Zhao didn't get a response from him and turned to look at him in surprise, "Brother, is there something wrong?"

Yun Congheng sighed first, "If you see this Tan Jiu in the future, stay away from him." His eyes were cold, "When Da Hao pacifies Bei'an, brother will definitely capture him for you and hang him in the room.

At the top, let you cook it as you like."

"Only now..."

Yun Congheng had a sinister expression and seemed to be angry because of what he said to Gu Zhao.

Just now Zhong Kewei asked someone to send a message to him, asking him to keep an eye on Tan Jiu, but not to offend Tan Jiu. He should control the balance between them.

Yun Congheng first knew that Zhong Kewei meant that Tan Shijiu was still valuable now, and if there was a conflict, let him exercise restraint.

Although I know this is for the overall situation, this is showing weakness to others, and to a Beian person.

As the captain of the City Guards, Yun Congheng had long been accustomed to controlling the life and death of others. Facing the current situation, in addition to being ashamed and annoyed, he also had a deep murderous intention in his heart.

Of course it was not directed at Gu Zhao, nor Zhong Kewei who sent him the message, but rather toward the Bei'an businessman Qin Shijiu who made him feel such a dilemma!

When Tan Shijiu is no longer useful, he will definitely make good use of this Bei'an pig!

Gu Zhao was slightly stunned, but soon regained his composure, "Brother, don't be angry, it's just a matter of patience. I, Da Hao, have been dormant for hundreds of years and have come here. Isn't it possible that all the members of my family can't even endure for a few years?"

?”

Yun Congheng first looked at Gu Zhao with eyes full of relief, "Okay! Okay!"

After getting on the carriage, Yun Congheng asked a few more questions about what Zhong Kewei had said to Gu Zhao. After listening, he nodded repeatedly, "Zhong Shuai praised you so much. In the future, what will Lu Guangdi do at Douchuan Pass?"

The future is unlimited, so brother is relieved."

Gu Zhao returned to her residence, washed up and went to bed, knowing that in the coming days, she would face Qin Xinglie's temptations and advances again and again.

Even now, Qin Xinglie should already know where she lives and what she did during the days when she came to Douchuan Pass.

But even if she was exposed, there was nothing to be afraid of. Gu Zhao told herself that she had nothing to feel sorry for Qin Xinglie. Wouldn't it be good for his Qin family to take back Douchuan Pass this time?

The next morning, Gu Zhao had just gotten up. As soon as she opened the door, there were two guards guarding the door, saluting her respectfully.

"We are here to give gifts to Young Master He on the orders of my Nineteenth Young Master."

Jiang Yuan came forward. He had grown a short beard and was much calmer than before.

Gu Zhao glanced at him coldly, the annoyance between his brows undisguised, "I always thought Bei'an was a land of etiquette, but you Nineteenth Young Master really opened my eyes."

Jiang Yuan didn't know why their prince asked him to give a gift to a Donghao noble, but since the prince ordered it, he could only do it.
