Chapter 164: Old News of the Yun Family
Gu Lang smiled with relief, and said with some nostalgia,
"I haven't heard anyone call me by this name for a long time. I didn't expect that there are still people in this world who know me."
Looking at the box in his hand, Gu Lang looked at Xiao Mingrui.
"So, Mr. Xiao, do you dare to accept this Feiyun Order?"
Xiao Mingrui was very cautious. Feiyun Order was not an ordinary item. He was afraid that if he rashly accepted it today, it would bring trouble to the Xiao Mansion, so he asked,
"Mr. Hu has guarded the Feiyun Order in this deep mountain for ten years. Now he is willing to hand it over to someone he has only known for a few days?"
Gu Lang handed the box towards Xiao Mingrui, and Xiao Mingrui could see clearly that there was a mechanism on the box. There was a groove right in front of the box, and it seemed that something was missing.
"This secret box was specially made by General Yun who had skilled craftsmen from the north. It cannot be opened without a key. If it is forcibly opened, the box will be destroyed along with the Feiyun Order inside."
Xiao Mingrui felt relieved when he heard Gu Lang say this.
"Mr. Hu should understand that even if you give me this box, I will still bring it back to Kyoto and hand it over to the emperor in the future."
Gu Lang's eyes were calm, he already knew that Xiao Mingrui would say that. He would only feel at ease if the Feiyun Order was handed over to a loyal minister. If it was handed over to someone else, it would definitely cause chaos.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't fall into the hands of the Meng family. Besides, the Feiyun Army is the Emperor's Feiyun Army. My Yun family has no intention of rebellion. I hid the Feiyun Order because I couldn't swallow this anger."
Today, the Meng family has replaced the Yun family's previous position in the north, but they do not have the Feiyun Order and cannot make the Feiyun Army completely surrender, so they are now trying their best to find the Feiyun Order.
As long as the Feiyun Order fell into the hands of the emperor, he didn't believe that the emperor, with his suspicious nature, would be willing to hand over the Feiyun Order to others again.
"I still don't understand why Mr. Hu trusts me so much?"
Gu Lang tilted his head and smiled at Xiao Mingrui.
"Maybe it's because your father is Xiao Huaimin."
Xiao Mingrui didn't react at first, but after a moment he understood the meaning of Gu Lang's words. Could it be that his father knew Gu Lang?
It's impossible. My father has been working diligently in the court for many years. How could he come to this deep mountain to make friends with bandits? However, there is another possibility, that is, my father knows someone in the Yun Mansion, but I haven't heard my father mention any friends with the surname Yun in these years, and my mother doesn't seem to know about it either.
When I get back to Kyoto, I will ask my father about it.
"In that case, I will accept it. When I return to Kyoto, I will present this Feiyun Order to the Emperor..."
Xiao Mingrui took the box from Gu Lang and hesitated.
"Perhaps the emperor will spare your life for the sake of Feiyun Order."
"I never thought about leaving Wushi Village alive."
Xiao Mingrui was stunned at first, then he seemed to understand something and spoke hastily,
"So the people outside Wushi Village were sent by the Meng Mansion?"
"Mr. Xiao is indeed smart."
Gu Lang did not intend to hide anything from Xiao Mingrui and told Xiao Mingrui everything.
"The people from the Meng Mansion came here for the Feiyun Order, but I don't want to let them have their way, so I'd like to ask Mr. Xiao to take care of it and leave Wushi Village with the Feiyun Order and Miss Jiang later."
Xiao Mingrui clenched the box in his hand, and the Feiyun Order suddenly became hot.
His father had finally decided to stop playing it safe because of Jiang Tunan's disappearance. This Feiyun Order might be the first cornerstone for his father to truly establish himself in the court, so he would not give this Feiyun Order to the Meng family.
On the other side, Jiang Tunan and Hua Bei were walking on the way back to the yard. Hua Bei glanced back from time to time. Jiang Tunan saw that Hua Bei was like a perverted peeping Tom, so he simply ran in front of Hua Bei and leaned one hand on the wall next to him.
"You silly girl, if you want to look at me, just look openly. Why are you peeking at me and trying to attract my attention, huh?"
Hua Bei: "I'm sick."
Jiang Tunan:?
"Don't you know who is sick?"
Who was the one who did the prison play? Who was the one who abused himself because he couldn't get the love he wanted? Who was the one who became an antisocial personality and killed people everywhere, so that he now has to do an extra task!
But then again, although Hua Bei looks a little crazy now, he is at most like a non-mainstream teenager and has nothing to do with antisocial personality. Is it possible that Su Xiaoxiao is so powerful that she can change her personality?
"Jiang Tunan, stop it."
Hua Bei showed a fierce look on his face and tried to scare Jiang Tunan, but as soon as he changed his expression, Jiang Tunan slapped him in the face and slammed him against the wall.
"I won't fall for this, stop it."
Jiang Tunan knew that Hua Bei was easy to control before he turned evil. As long as Gu Lang was mentioned, he would obey. As expected, Hua Bei continued to walk forward honestly when he heard Gu Lang's name.
"Playboy, you're here!"
Su Xiaoxiao and Guo'er were playing in the yard. They saw Jiang Tunan and Hua Bei walking side by side from a distance. They felt a little uneasy. Didn't Hua Bei hate Jiang Tunan? Why did the two of them seem to have a good relationship now? So Su Xiaoxiao immediately stood up to greet them.
As soon as Jiang Tunan saw Su Xiaoxiao pretending to be calm but secretly worried, he knew that she was imagining some unpresentable female plot.
"You guys chat, I'm going back to rest."
Jiang Tunan was too lazy to play such boring tricks with Su Xiaoxiao, so he simply went back to his room alone and stayed away from the disputes.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
When Hua Bei saw Jiang Tunan return to the room, he also said goodbye. For some reason, after spending so much time with Jiang Tunan recently, the inexplicable possessiveness he had for Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have faded a lot.
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little disappointed when she saw Hua Bei leaving without any reluctance.
She remembered that when she was a child, she was always popular wherever she went, but ever since she met Jiang Tunan, everything seemed to have changed.
Su Xiaoxiao stared at Jiang Tunan's closed door in a trance. No matter what, she would not admit defeat. Since Jiang Tunan wanted to compete, let's compete.
Hua Bei, who had just gone out, had not walked far when he met Gu Lang and Xiao Mingrui who were rushing over on the road.
"Ah Bei, I just happened to be looking for you."
Gu Lang smiled gently as always, but Hua Bei felt uneasy.
"Brother Gu, you've been running around these days, your body will definitely not be able to take it."
Hua Bei immediately stepped forward to support Gu Lang, and Xiao Mingrui consciously gave up his seat.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I have something for you to do. Send Master Xiao and the others out of the village later. Go through the small door at the back. Don't let anyone outside find you."
Hua Bei just felt something was wrong.
"Why the rush?"
"Just do it."
Su Xiaoxiao said happily,
"Can we finally go home?"
Guo'er's face was also full of joy.
"That's great miss."
Jiang Tunan was actually very happy. She had been running for her life outside these days, and now she could finally go back to Kyoto and continue to be her parasite. But when she saw Gu Lang's face, an indescribable sense of familiarity came over Jiang Tunan.
Jiang Tunan had seen Gu Lang's past in his dream before, but before that, Jiang Tunan had only seen other people's predetermined future. So Jiang Tunan had been struggling with whether Gu Lang was one of the people whose fate he needed to change. However, after thinking about it, Jiang Tunan realized that if he couldn't even see Gu Lang's future, how could he change it?
That's why Jiang Tunan has been resting assured these days. As for Hua Bei...let him be. Anyway, he has Gulang taking care of him in Wushizhai. If he intervenes rashly now, it might backfire.
After such careful consideration, Jiang Tunan smiled with satisfaction. Not bad, not bad. Although he did nothing, he still worked hard.
