During my escape from famine, I survived by eavesdropping on the whispers of food.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun realized that he and Qin Shuangshuang had been dealing with Qin Shuangshuang's depression at the time.

The black blood that jumped off the assassin beneath his bed was very likely from the middle of the attack.

From this perspective, it seems that Dilejiahan dismounted more. Lu Jun then jumped off his horse, and Dilejiahan followed suit. Lu Jun then asked him, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Why did you specifically place it under our windowsill at this particular moment? I think you wanted to pick a flower for Qin Shuangshuang, and then try to be a hero and save the damsel in distress. Di Lejia sneered, "You think so simply. If I really had it, I could just leave it at that."

Why choose an ordinary person to do this? Lu Jun thought to himself, it seems that Dilejiahan must have some other purpose.

Now that Qin Shuangshuang's horse has gone far away, the King said to Lu Jun, "Since he has left, I won't argue with you anymore. I will continue to try to win Qin Shuangshuang over. Whether she wants to be with me or not is her decision. As for you, I have never taken you seriously. You and your uncle Chen Gu really hate Zhang Rushi."

When Lu Jun heard that you knew my Uncle Chen Gu, and that my Uncle Chen Gu was such a powerful person, why did you have to provoke Qin Shuangshuang? Wasn't that just trying to get yourself hurt?

But that Dilejiahan is just a joke. Speaking of your Uncle Chengu, he's nothing special. Besides, why would I read you? Why don't you ask your master why? Hearing this, Lu Jun felt that this person might have picked the wrong enemy. Even though Uncle Chengu had once secluded himself in a mountain cave.

Chen Xiang was about to go outside to find Shu Chen Gu when this person suddenly said such a thing. Could it be that Shu Chen Gu had offended him, or that he had offended Shu Chen Gu? Without thinking too much, he mounted his horse and left one after the other.

Lu Jun was worried that Dilejiahan might have ulterior motives. In addition, he knew his uncle Chen Gu, so he might as well ask his uncle Chen Gu what was going on with this person. He specially wrote a letter and asked someone to send it back to the vicinity of Biandi as soon as possible. This place was not too far from Biandi. Now that it was night, a carrier pigeon landed on Uncle Chen Gu's table.

Shu Chen Gu looked at the carrier pigeon in front of him, then hurriedly snatched a slip of paper from its claw, tore it off, and examined it carefully with a puzzled look. Just then, a black man stepped out from behind him and said to Shu Chen Gu, "It seems your disciple has run into some trouble again?" He carefully examined the paper and tried to take it from Shu Chen Gu's hand, but before I could take it, the black man couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You two really have a twist of fate, running into him like this!"

The man in black's words prompted Shu Chen Gu to throw the note into the brazier and say to him, "Don't let Prince Jing know about this. If he does, he'll probably be worried."

The man in black said, "What else could possibly stump you? Don't forget what kind of big shot you are now. Your words carry more weight with the Prince of Jin than mine. I don't know what the master is thinking; he trusts no one but you."

The man in black went to sit down and took a cup of tea from the table. He then said to Uncle Chen Gu, "I didn't expect that the Black Mountain Demon's disciple has already graduated for so long. It seems that he and your disciple have clashed. If he accidentally poisons your disciple, your disciple will faint again. You'll have to go through a lot of trouble to invite that male mountain doctor to save your disciple."

"Let's see how many times you've been young." The man in black laughed loudly, and Uncle Chen Gu was right next to him.

He then stroked his beard and said, "It's not that I owe him a favor. I'm just wondering why he went back so quickly. A few years ago, he challenged me to a duel and ended up injuring himself."

It's one thing to blame me for this, but then the Black Demon became my apprentice. The Black Demon already had a grudge against me, and he taught his disciple to use many techniques—it's bound to be used against my disciple someday. But as soon as I returned to Dimai City, I was surprised to find that he targeted my disciple. It was quite unexpected. People couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Is it because he's set his sights on your disciple's wife?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Chen Gu exclaimed in surprise, "What did you say? He's got his eye on my disciple, he likes my disciple, he knows what kind of black man he is, he nodded, of course he knows, and your disciple lives with you, but he discovered something big that you never expected!"

Shu Chen Gu raised an eyebrow and said, "Could it be that he discovered the Emperor has already woken up? How could the Emperor wake up so early? Even if he was faking illness, it's impossible for him to wake up so quickly, right? Right now, he just wants to test his sons. You don't know, there are rumors everywhere that Qin Shuangshuang is some kind of amazing savior, and everyone is trying to win her over. I really don't know what those princes are thinking. For example, those princes, isn't your prince thinking the same thing?"

Upon hearing this, the man in black laughed, "Young Miss Qin Shuangshuang has the ability to become someone my lord wants to take in; that's her good fortune." Uncle Chen Gu simply smiled, whether it was a good fortune or something else, he didn't know. Now that he's already written to me, it seems I have to recruit my disciple. Later I'll have to forge him some armor, or sooner rather than later concoct an antidote that no poison can penetrate his internal organs. Otherwise, I don't think that Dimai's Dilejiahan will let him go so easily. If he has a problem, he should come at me; why does he have to target my disciple? My disciple is so kind and handsome!

The man gave a silent sneer and said to Uncle Chen Gu, "Immediately point to that disciple and Qin Shuangshuang and tell them what they discovered. They found several gold mines in that area. Those gold mines are now being eyed by several barbarian kings, who will probably be eyeing them covetously. If you ask me, you should find some time to prepare your disciple."

Before long, if those assassins who were hoping to take advantage of him all go after him, he might not even be able to win in a one-on-one fight. Uncle Chen was shocked. He didn't expect them to discover those gold mines so quickly.

"I...I think this is the thing, and I think it will all be handed over to the Crown Prince. I think they're completely wrong." The man in black said, "If they don't hand it over to the Crown Prince, who else would they hand it over to? If the Crown Prince finds out that they're holding those gold mines, he'll definitely think they've secretly embezzled them. Would he really forgive them? You're overestimating the Crown Prince's kindness."

However, while Shu Chen Gu would be given to the Crown Prince by someone else, it was uncertain whether the two of them would receive it.
