It was the first time that he met King Yin. King Yin had not yet thoroughly investigated his background, so he should not have had time to arrange for such a person to come. Even if he knew that he wanted to do business, he should have arranged for someone to collect the debts or do the work, instead of sending a dull but powerful martial artist.

Wumen? At that time, only Wufeng and Wuyun were brought along. The original text confirmed that these two people survived to the end. They were always loyal. Qin Zhaoyue even arranged for them to marry beautiful girls.

Why does Qin Zhaoyue like to be a matchmaker? She is really meddling in other people's affairs.

Of course, other people in Wumen might know about their actions, but Wuyan did not report any unusual movements. Wuyan could also be trusted.

How many people are there at home?

Lu Junmei's family has already returned to live, and is no longer in Gu's courtyard. He Gui, Chai Gui, Shi San and Shi Si...are suspects.

"What went wrong? I think Your Highness would be willing to provide me with this information." Gu Yue had a big smile on his face, and I asked directly!

"What do you want to exchange?" Qin Zhaoyue smiled faintly.

"Ah?" Gu Yue was surprised. "We need to exchange this? If our whereabouts are leaked, it means there are traitors around us who have defected to King Yin. Is this a good thing for you?"

Qin Zhaoyue was silent, it seemed not.

At the same time, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"...That man confessed that the information was leaked by a servant from the He Mansion, and that he overheard the owner of the He Mansion mentioning this matter." Qin Zhaoyue said.

It’s not a family member, that’s great! Gu Yue sighed with relief.

But this guy Hele doesn't rule his subordinates strictly, he deserves to be punished!

"Your Highness, do you know who the owner of the He Mansion is?" Gu Yue asked.

"..." Qin Zhaoyue did not answer immediately. What did this question mean? Did Gu Yue already know Qin Zhaole's identity?

Gu Yue saw his reaction and understood: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince likes our fried chicken very much."

"...Yeah, it does taste good." Qin Zhaoyue understood. He thought his mother would like it, especially the one with chili powder. But it was not realistic to bring it back.

Moreover, why was Qin Zhaole here? Why did he reveal his identity to Gu Dashi? He didn't even know that there were spies in the mansion, and he didn't even know to send his attendants away during the conversation, so everyone heard everything!

Both of them felt melancholy towards Qin Zhaole.

"Let's talk about business. What kind of problems did you encounter that even Qin Zhaole was involved?" Qin Zhaoyue resisted the urge to rub his head.

Gu Yue thought, since Qin Zhaoyue came to him himself, he might as well make use of him.

It depends on how powerful Gu Xu is and whether it is worth Qin Zhaoyue's worry for him.

Gu Yue's intuition told him that it was worth it.

Gu Yue explained the whole thing in detail, from his preparation to work in the catering industry, to his encounter with King Yin in the forest that day (this part was briefly mentioned), to his "coincidental encounter" with He Le, to his acquisition of the Golden Duck House marinade, to the trap set in the contract...

Naturally, he concealed Gu Xu's identity and the affairs of the Su family, and pushed it all onto King Yin.

Qin Zhaoyue suddenly understood after hearing this. No wonder the incident in the woods that was stabbed, the story told by King Yin always gave him a weird feeling. It turned out that the innocent passerby he met was Gu Xu!

His first question was: "Just because of a serving of marinade, you suspect he wants to use this to blackmail you?"

cunning!

Gu Yue didn't believe that Qin Zhaoyue didn't know Gu Xu's identity. But he knew it, but he asked himself this question, obviously doubting whether he and his son already knew Gu Xu's background, and thus came to the conclusion that King Yin wanted to win them over.

"Although I haven't read much, I still understand very well that there is no free lunch in the world. If you don't even have this brain, how can you do business? You will lose everything you have!" Gu Yue showed an expression that said "What a wise question you asked".

"The King of Yin and I have only met once, and he was full of words trying to win me over. Later, he pretended to be familiar with me and asked the Second Prince to send me a secret recipe. This is ridiculous! He must be planning something bad!" Gu Yue was filled with righteous indignation, and he spoke louder and louder. "People will not give any benefits for no reason, unless he gets more than this."

Qin Zhaoyue was sweating profusely for a second.

Hearing this, Gu Xu looked up at Gu Yue who seemed angry.

Qin Zhaoyue couldn't find any logical flaws, so he agreed with this statement. After all, if they really had power, why would they hide in this small town?

"You went to Sushui County at night to get the contract back, but found that the contract had been taken away." Qin Zhaoyue said, "Then... the person who took the contract away must have some relationship with King Yin."

Gu Yue nodded repeatedly.

He is worthy of being the prince. I can figure it out without him pointing it out.

"According to my guess, the contract should have been in King Yin's hands. It will be difficult to take it out now." Gu Yue said, "With this thing, it will be very convenient for him to punish me."

Qin Zhaoyue nodded: "I can help you."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is such a good man. How are you going to help me? Use your power to keep me here, or help me change the contract? The former should be easier to do, right? You are the Crown Prince."

Qin Zhaoyue felt that the "eh" at the end of this person's sentence was very... hard to describe, very different.

"I can help you change the contract, but I have a condition." Qin Zhaoyue smiled.

"You want to make some conditions?" Gu Yue smiled and leaned back in his chair.

"That's right. The condition is very simple, just be mine." Qin Zhaoyue smiled as if he was confident of winning... but not so confident, his bad premonition was even stronger.

Gu Yue's face twisted for a moment. This was so ambiguous. No, it must be because he read too many online novels.

"Your Highness, do you also want to win over me... or us?" Gu Yue smiled.

"This is an exchange, not a solicitation." Qin Zhaoyue frowned slightly.

"Although I don't know why you think so highly of Xiao Xu, I don't care." Gu Yue seemed to reveal Gu Dashi's true nature: "I only know that you all want him."

Qin Zhaoyue remained silent.

"Your Highness, you actually have no bargaining chips with me. It was you who took the initiative to come to us and offer to help us. You don't want us to be threatened by King Yin and join his army, right?" Gu Yue spoke very mercilessly.

"Xiao Xu and I are on the same side. He will go to the side I say to go to. Your Highness, although you helped me once, I have already paid you back with the matter of Jiao Garden." Gu Yue stretched out his hand to Gu Xu. In front of Qin Zhaoyue, Gu Xu raised his hand and interlocked his fingers with his.

Gu Yue: ? Just put it up, no need to pull it like this.

But now is the critical moment, Gu Yue turned his attention back to Qin Zhaoyue: "To be honest, you and King Yin, it seems that there is no difference? If you don't help me, and King Yin uses that contract to control me... then there is no other way, I may really have to consider tying myself to the same boat with King Yin."

Qin Zhaoyue was speechless.

Who is controlling whom? !
