After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

Chapter 116 Meeting

"Why didn't you let me ask just now?" Gu Rujun asked out the doubts in his heart.

"That man is deaf..."

"what?"

"How did you tell?"

"Didn't you see that the person who led us in didn't speak to him, he just nodded."

"That doesn't mean he's deaf, does it?"

"When you mentioned the Third Master, he didn't react at all. You think that servant with a keen ear would react like this? He would at least react a little bit, right?"

Gu Rujun turned her head to look at the shimmering water, narrowed her eyes and said, "Give it a try?"

Before Li Jing could react, Gu Rujun picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the lake behind the servant with a "bang".

The servant looked ahead with his usual expressionless face, without any reaction.

"It seems that this place is really hidden enough..." Gu Rujun said meaningfully with his hands behind his back.

"Here it comes." Li Jing whispered.

The servant turned a mechanism on the wooden pillar next to him. A rumbling sound was heard, and the bluestone slabs that were originally hidden in the water emerged from the water and spread all the way to the Yunting Pavilion.

Gu Rujun looked down at his half-soaked shoes, frowned, and cursed inwardly, "Damn, it can actually rise up."

Li Jing didn't care. He still looked at Mr. Gu San who was slowly approaching from afar with a cold face.

Mr. Gu Sanye is not old, only a few years older than Gu Boli, and he looks very stylish.

After Mr. Gu San arrived, he didn't say much, just asked the two to sit down.

Gu Rujun briefly introduced Li Jing who was beside him.

"Why do you care about this?" Mr. Gu dipped his fingers into the teacup and wrote the words "Lanyue Tower" on the table.

Mr. Gu San couldn't figure it out either. On the surface, this matter had nothing to do with the two young men opposite. It was not worth it!

Gu Rujun and Li Jing looked at each other.

"Third Master, just think we are meddling in your business!"

This sentence made the Third Master confused. He said with a hint of sarcasm, "Minding your own business? You really have plenty of free time...you're playing with your life."

Li Jing cupped his hands and said with a heavy face, "Third Master, human life is at stake. We cannot stand by and watch someone die."

Master Gu San chuckled and glanced at the man in front of him, "Who are you? Go and save the people, why are you looking for me?"

Li Jing was completely daunted by this one sentence. That's right! What right did he have to make such a request? Those people had no relationship with him, and they had nothing to do with the Third Master in front of them.

"Third Master, do you need our help?" Gu Rujun took a sip of the tea in front of him. It was slightly bitter at first, but then turned sweet. It was a rare good tea.

Mr. Gu didn't reply, but just looked at the water in the teacup. "Are you ready?"

Gu Rujun, "Wha...what?"

Li Jing: "Yeah."

Mr. Gu San took another look at Li Jing, who had an expressionless face in front of him, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and pushed it in front of the two of them.

Gu Rujun opened the paper in front of her and looked at the words on it with her eyes widened. There was a building drawn in the middle of the paper with the words "Lan Yue Lou" written next to it, and lines connected all around it. At the other end of the lines was a portrait of a person with the word "Prince" written on it. There were many more lines connected to the word "Prince", including "Grand Tutor", "Shangshu", "Shilang", etc. The dense lines made people feel dizzy.

After watching for a cup of tea, Mr. Gu San collected the paper and lit it on the candle beside him.

Master Gu Sanye's deep voice rang out again, "I'm asking you again, are you ready? It's not too late to regret now."

Gu Rujun thought of the dense thread just now and was glad that she didn't let her sister get involved.

Does he really want to put himself on the edge of a knife for these unrelated people?

Gu Rujun's mind buzzed, and his eyes widened. Unrelated? Were these people truly unrelated to him? The current Crown Prince, the future Emperor, a man who treated human life like dirt, was he truly fit to control the fate of the world?

"No, we must not let such a person sit in that position."

"We're ready," they both answered simultaneously, their voices incredibly firm.

At this time, Gu Rujun found something wrong and frowned, "The Third Master already had a plan."

The corners of Mr. Gu's mouth curved up, "Xiao Yu'er didn't make a mistake."

Yes, if it was a spur of the moment decision, why would he prepare that piece of paper, and why would he ask them if they were ready!

It seems that in this matter, I was the one who was led into the trap from the beginning to the end, and I was the one who begged others to let me in.

Gu Rujun smiled bitterly and said, "Then please tell me about your plan, Third Master. I wonder if there's anything we can do to help you?"

Since we have lured them into the game, we must need them to do something, otherwise we wouldn't go to so much trouble to ask them to come to this place.

"Smart, if I remember correctly, you have a younger sister?" Mr. Gu said.

"No." They both answered at the same time.

Gu Rujun's face was heavy. "No matter what happens, don't involve my family."

Master Gu narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard, "The prince likes men."

Gu Rujun, "Ah."

Li Jing, "..."

"What do you mean?"

Third Master Gu, "If I remember correctly, Rujun was the third place winner in the imperial examination, right?"

Gu Rujun nodded and swallowed, a bad thought rising in her mind, "You... don't want me to seduce the prince, do you?"

"Ok".

Now both of them were stunned. This plan was too...stupid!

"Oh, that's not right! What did the Third Master mean when he asked my sister just now?"

Master Gu San stroked his beard and smiled softly, "I just think that little girl is quite amusing."

Gu Rujun, "..." What a joke! You're scaring me to death. Oh, that's not right! I should be worried about myself right now.

Li Jing, "..." I thank you! Because of you...

"Okay, I'm not going to joke around with you youngsters anymore, let's get down to business."

Gu Rujun: "..." You finally got down to business.

Gu Rujun thought so in his heart, but he still had to put on enough effort on the surface and said respectfully, "I'm all ears."
