Chapter 54: A Surefire Plan

So he looked at Li Dahui who was at a loss, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice:

"Brother Li, are you willing to accept the invitation?"

Li Dahui frowned. He thought that this invitation came out of nowhere and he should be cautious and refuse it. But seeing that Zhen Qingyi was obviously worried and was obviously disturbed by his sister's words just now, with a bit of urgency on his face, but still patiently asked him, Li Dahui smiled innocently and nodded in agreement.

The two were led by the waiter to a private room on the second floor. At first, they couldn't see who the person was because of the screen, so they didn't rush in rashly. They just stood there quietly waiting for the person to speak.

The person came out from behind the screen. Zhen Qingyi looked up and saw that she was wearing a white apricot-colored Spring Garden Luohe cloak with a chestnut-colored spider-patterned wide belt around her waist. She had shiny black hair, bright eyes and white teeth under her eyebrows. Her body was tall and straight, and she looked even softer and more elegant under the light and candlelight. What a handsome and elegant young man with red lips and white teeth!

Then another man came in from the door of the box. He was dressed in black and had a stern face. He looked at the person in front of him and bowed respectfully: "Sir."

It seems to be this man's guard.

But these are not the most important things to Zhen Qingyi.

Most importantly, his face was filled with astonishment, his eyes were filled with shock, and he couldn't help but exclaim:

"General Gu?!"

With him was Li Dahui. He stared blankly with his eyes wide open, not quite reacting, but still recognized him. Was the man in front of him the one sent to Yucheng by the emperor two days ago? Why was he in Suzhou now? ! "General Gu..."

Seeing the two of them looking stunned, Gu Junqing chuckled softly, saying in a gentle voice:

"I was just thinking about you two and wanted someone to look for you, but I didn't expect to meet you here. It must be fate."

Zhen Qingyi frowned when he heard this. He had something on his mind because of the conversation he had just had with them. He said in a deep voice:

"General Gu, I wonder what your intention was when you sent someone to invite us two just now? Can you explain it to me?"

Li Dahui on the side wanted to ask, wasn't General Gu in Yucheng? Why was he here now? However, seeing Zhen Qingyi's anxious look, he did not ask in the end.

Gu Junqing pursed his lips, took out a letter from his sleeve, and then handed it to Zhen Qingyi to read it himself.

Zhen Qingyi took it in a daze, and realized that what he wanted to know might be in this letter. As he opened the letter, Gu Junqing stood by and secretly reminded him that the fire at Zhen's house might have been set by someone in the capital, and as for why the Zhen's house was burned, it might be because of the Chen family.

Gu Junqing looked at Zhen Qingyi: "...Of course, it's up to you to decide whether you believe the above or not."

No one spoke in the room, everyone just looked at Zhen Qingyi's gradually cold expression. The surroundings were quiet, with only the crackling sound of the burning candle.

Zhen Qingyi felt as if his heart was burning with pain. The atmosphere was somewhat frozen. After Zhen Qingyi put the letter away, his eyelashes trembled, and he looked up at Gu Junqing. He opened his mouth and asked in a bitter tone, as if he was not sure:

“I see…”

It seems that I believe it most of the time.

Gu Junqing pursed her lips, and seeing his grief-stricken and angry expression, she did not answer, but nodded slowly. Seeing this, he trembled with his left hand and clenched his fist. After a while, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he looked up at Gu Junqing in front of him:

"Thank you, General Gu, for telling me about the Zhen family. Now, General Gu, is there anything I can help you with? I will do my best to help you!"

Li Dahui didn't know what was written in the letter, but seeing Zhen Qingyi like this, he hesitated a little, not knowing whether he should help together. He glanced at Gu Junqing who was also looking at him, and then looked at Zhen Qingyi who was looking down and didn't know what to think. He gritted his teeth, thinking that he had nowhere to go, not to mention that he would still be a subordinate of General Gu, whom he had admired for a long time, so he spoke:

"General, I, I can help you too! Although I'm not as smart as the others, I can help you and protect you when you're in danger..."

Gu Junqing heard this and curled his lips. He felt that Li Dahui was an honest and loyal person. He couldn't help laughing at his words about protecting himself. "Okay, since you are willing, I won't say more. After all, time is tight, so I'll just say it straight."

Gu Junqing's eyes flashed: "Follow me first."

He didn't walk far, but just brought the two of them behind the screen.

There are two people.

Zhen Qingyi narrowed his eyes. Because the two tied-up men had messy hair covering their faces, he did not recognize them for a moment. However, when he looked at the middle-aged man on the left who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a bloated figure, he suddenly had an idea and said in surprise, as if he had thought of something:

"This is... the governor of Suzhou, Huang Zhenxing?"

He looked at her and saw Gu Junqing nod. He wondered, "Why is this person here? But what happened?"

"Huang Zhenxing is a hostage. He needs to explain in detail what happened at the mine. Moreover, he has been exposed. Someone might find something wrong and come looking for Huang Zhenxing tomorrow. So we have to solve these problems the day after tomorrow." "Mine?"

Zhen Qingyi became even more confused.

She looked at him, then reacted and glanced at Er Gouzi. Thinking that this man also knew about it, she didn't avoid him and briefly told him about the mine.

After hearing this, the two of them immediately felt that Huang Zhenxing was simply too bold. Da Qi had issued a clear order prohibiting the private storage of minerals, and violators would be punished! He actually broke the law knowingly!

No wonder Gu Junqing tied me up here, but...

Li Dahui looked at Er Gouzi who was not knocked unconscious by Gu Junqing, scratched his head, and looked puzzled:

"General, who is this person? Is he Huang Zhenxing's man?"

"I am not the running dog of the yellow thief!"

A voice interrupted what Gu Junqing was about to say. The tone was full of disgust, and the owner of the voice was Ergouzi.

Several people looked at him subconsciously, and Er Gouzi realized that he shouldn't interrupt, so he shrank his neck, his eyes flickered, but he didn't dare to speak again.

Gu Junqing lowered his eyes, his voice still light, not minding: "Nothing, it's a good opportunity to ask you about some things in these mines, just say whatever you want to say"

She looked at him, as if waiting for his next words. Er Gouzi bit his lip, lowered his eyes and dared not look back. Then he thought of something and said hesitantly:

"Do you want to deal with Huang Zei? If so, I can help you find out what Huang Zei said about the mine..."

Er Gouzi was honest. He guessed that the people behind Huang Zhenxing were not something that a nobody like him could resist. He could only hope that these people in front of him, whose origins were unknown but who were sure to deal with Huang Zhenxing, would help him. So he told them everything he knew.

So the four of them began to discuss how to release the miners in the mine tomorrow. At the same time, they had to think of a foolproof plan to prevent others from discovering that she was in Suzhou instead of Yucheng, so as to avoid being accused of disobeying the emperor's order and impeaching her for deceiving the emperor.

Presumably, the emperor now knows her next plan, and hopes it’s not too late.

Gu Junqing looked at them and thought silently in his heart.

The next morning, the warm sun was shining and the sky was cloudless.

Huang Mansion.

Huang Shan is the old steward of the Huang family and also Huang Zhenxing's most trusted confidant.
