undercover
"Who is he? Is there any clue?" Qi Lan was very worried. Mr. Gu Yue acted weirdly and behaved abnormally, and it was really difficult to judge with common sense.
Liu Ji was also frowning and shook his head and sighed: "I don't know, but judging from his behavior, he should be a high-ranking official and noble person in Fengyi, or maybe he was a county magistrate in Fengyi."
"But didn't you say that this young master Gu Yue is very young? Is it so young and promising that he has taken the position of county magistrate at such a young age?" Qi Lan was puzzled.
Liu Ji didn't say anything, and he didn't understand this. Zhang Liang, who was standing beside him, had been silent, as if he had been absent-minded since the beginning, as if he was worried. Qi Lan poked his arm and shook his hand in front of him: "Hey, what are you thinking?"
Zhang Liang's thoughts were pulled back, and he smiled apologetically, feeling a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I'm a little distracted..."
"What are you thinking?" Qi Lan was very curious. After all, Zhang Liang was one of the three masters of the Han Dynasty. His wisdom and courage should not be underestimated.
Zhang Liang had no choice but to tell what he had just thought: "At the banquet at Liu'anpo, I care a lot about what Mr. Gu Yue said. He once called someone among us "The King of Western Chu". This is the first time I heard of such a heroic and courageous title, so-"
"You - what did you say?" Qi Lan was shocked, and her whole body was stunned as if she was struck by lightning. She stood up suddenly, and the chair under her was hit and fell to the ground.
Zhang Liang and Liu Ji were stunned at the same time. They did not expect Qi Lan's reaction to be so big, as if they had heard something unbelievable. Liu Ji opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Qi Lan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Liang's clothes.
"You can say it again, what is Mr. Gu Yue talking about?"
Zhang Liang looked at Qi Lan with a nervous and surprised look on his face, swallowed his saliva, and carefully repeated: "...The King of Western Chu."
Qi Lan's body loosened, and she wanted to be pulled away. She barely held the table and failed to fall down.
The King of Western Chu, a famous name that has been famous for all ages, is known to everyone in the present. However, here, in the era in which she is now in, the King of Chu Xiang Yu had not yet launched an army to attack Qin, and the foundation of the Qin Dynasty is still there. How did the title of the King of Western Chu come from?
Qi Lan's mind was running rapidly - although she accidentally traveled to Concubine Qi by mistake, deep in her heart, she still remembers modern things. If this young master Gu Yue was also a time traveler, then the word "West Chu King" would be no stranger to him.
Qi Lan patted her forehead in annoyance. Why didn't she expect that she might not be the only one who traveled to the Qin Empire. Perhaps this young master Gu Yue was also an unlucky person who traveled to the Qin Dynasty.
His mind gradually calmed down, and Qi Lan thought again, that this young master Gu Yue could play Xiang Yu and Liu Bang together, which was enough to show that he had laid a certain foundation in Qin State. But since that was the case, what reason did he have to provoke Xiang Yu and Liu Bang?
Qi Lan was shocked for a while, suddenly realized, and sometimes annoyed, and the expression on her face changed a lot. Liu Ji and Zhang Liang stood aside and looked at each other in a glance. The monk was completely confused. Liu Ji poured Qi Lan a cup of tea, handed it carefully to her, and asked tentatively:
"Qiqi, what's wrong with you? Is it okay?"
Qi Lan came to her senses only. Liu Ji beside her looked worried, and Zhang Liang even looked at her with a monster-like look. Qi Lan smiled embarrassedly and stuck out her tongue: "Sorry, because she thought of something, she was distracted."
"Miss Qi, this young master Gu Yue, do you have any clues?" Zhang Liang felt keenly that Qi Lan seemed to have discovered something. Qi Lan knew that she could not hide it from them, so she had to nod and answer.
"I think this young master Gu Yue should be from my hometown."
Liu Ji and Zhang Liang showed surprise on their faces, and they were obviously shocked by this fact. Qi Lan sighed and continued: "I haven't figured out the specific situation yet, and I don't know why he was going against Aji and Master Xiang, but he is indeed a tricky opponent."
Liu Ji wanted to say something but stopped. He had a lot of words in his stomach to ask, but he didn't know where to ask. Qi Lan knew that it would be useless to say more, so he couldn't tell them that Mr. Gu Yue and herself were both people in the future world, so she could only force herself to make excuses and use this to dispel their concerns.
It was late at night, and Qi Lan yawned and showed tiredness. Although Liu Ji was full of questions, he believed Qi Lan and refused to ask questions anymore. He took Qi Lan back to the house to rest. Only Zhang Liang was left in the quiet lobby, drinking tea alone in front of the dark night sky.
The bright moon was bright, sprinkling cold moonlight. In the sky, several owls hurriedly passed by, making a few shrill sounds. The curtain of the night gradually became deeper, and gradually swallowed up the remaining moonlight.
The dark clouds were shrouded, and the north wind suddenly rose. Zhang Liang silently put down the cold tea in his hand and slowly stood up. He did not walk towards the room, but walked straight out of the inn.
The north wind blew, blew the hairband on his head, and his long ink hair flipped in the night sky, entangled with the north wind.
Zhang Liang walked slowly in the empty alley, his pace was neither fast nor slow. When he passed the fifth street and alley, Zhang Liang stopped, hesitated for a while, and walked in, his figure disappeared.
Deep in the streets and alleys, a small wooden door opened and closed quickly. As soon as Zhang Liang entered the house, he saw a man sitting by the window, looking bored at the dark night outside the window, covered in white gauze, as if he was still faintly covered with blood. Zhang Liang slowly stepped forward and knelt on one knee:
"Subor Zhang Liang, pay homage to the young master."
Mr. Gu Yue waved his hand casually and signaled Zhang Liang to get up. Zhang Liang stood up respectfully and waited aside. Mr. Gu Yue looked out the window and quietly excavated. After a while, he took back his thoughts. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Liang.
"Is Zhang Dacaizi back?" Young Master Gu Yue chuckled twice, his body movements pulled the wound, and the smile on his face calmed down a little.
"How is the investigation? Have they found their purpose?" Young Master Gu Yue covered his wound and put away his cynical attitude.
Zhang Liang bowed and replied: "Young Master Qi, my subordinates have confirmed that Xiang Ji came to Fengyi in order to find the lost prince of Chu. In Nuanxiang Pavilion, Miss Yu and Miss Qi have found Mi Xin."
"Mi Xin? Is that guy who serves tea and water?"
"That's right." Zhang Liang nodded and replied.
