Chapter 924: Drinking and Misleading
The night covered the earth, and Gu Chengyu sat bored on the banquet.
This is a reception banquet for Lu Chen, after Gu Chengyu came to Yingnan Mansion, Guo Haoshou also held one for him, and Gu Chengyu did not refuse.
After all, it is a normal interaction between colleagues, even if such a banquet is boring.
The whole banquet has opened the mode of praise, you praise me, I praise you, I can't wait to lift you to the sky.
Fortunately, with the addition of his previous life, he lived a few more years, otherwise he would definitely be praised by these people. I thought I was the best person in the world, and there was no one else in the world.
Gu Chengyu smiled and looked at Lu Chen, who was in the first place opposite, this time Guo Haoshou was the host, but he was of low grade, so it was naturally not good to sit on the top.
Therefore, Gu Chengyu and Lu Chen sat in the first place on the left and right, while Guo Hao sat in the middle of the top and bottom, so it was not rude.
"Lord Guo has won the award, if you want to talk about the talents, it must be Lord Gu. Lord Gu has not weakened the crown this year, and he is already the official position of the fourth grade. And it is still promoted three levels in a row, which is really a precedent in this dynasty, and it is worth our worship! ”
When Lu Chen spoke, he looked at Gu Chengyu's eyes full of smiles. The look on his face was also envious, and the words he said were even more exaggerated.
Gu Chengyu snorted coldly in his heart, but he couldn't help but be modest.
"Where can I go to Lord Lu, Master Lu is deeply hidden! I've been promoted three levels in a row, but you started directly from the official position of the fourth grade, which is incomparable! Unbeatable! ”
Hearing that Gu Chengyu's tone was a little sour, the smile on Lu Chen's face became stronger.
Several people pushed the cups and changed the lamps again, until the moon was empty, and then they all got up and said goodbye and left.
This drink must have been too much. However, Gu Chengyu was extremely controlled in drinking, so he didn't get much drunk.
However, Lu Chen was not so lucky, after all, it was his reception banquet, and everyone present took turns to toast, and he also had to drink!
So, Lu Chen is drunk!
Gu Chengyu looked at Qingquan in front of him supporting Lu Chen's body and staggering, and he hurriedly asked Ding Shi to help.
In my heart, with this amount of alcohol, I am embarrassed to say that I am not drunk with a thousand glasses?
When he returned to his bedroom, Gu Chengyu washed up and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, the crescent moon in the sky was brighter than before. The sound of long breathing in the room rose and fell very regularly.
A slight sound sounded in the room, and then a bamboo pipe silently pierced the Korean paper pasted on the window and reached into the room.
After waiting for a moment, smoke began to come out of the bamboo pipe.
After the people outside the house blew the smoke in the bamboo pipe, they waited outside the house without any movement.
About a quarter of an hour later, a dagger crept through the deadbolt. The occupants in the room were unresponsive, breathing even longer than before.
The door was gently pushed open, and the man crept inside. He turned around and closed the door, then paused.
After a while, as if accustomed to the darkness of the room, he walked slowly to the bed.
The man was dressed in black and held a short dagger in his hand. As he approached the bed, the man breathed a little faster.
Just as he was about to stab the dagger in his hand at the man on the bed, the eyes of the man on the bed suddenly opened, and then a long sword with a cold light stabbed at the man in black.
The man in black was shocked, hurriedly took a few steps back, twisted his body, and dodged to the side.
Gu Chengyu raised his sword and jumped up from the bed, and then chased after the man in black.
When the man in black saw that the matter was revealed, he simply didn't do anything. Clasped the scabbard at his waist, and with a bang, the long sword was unsheathed.
Gu Chengyu used two sword moves in a row, catching the black-clothed man who had just drawn out the sword body by surprise.
Mingmo sat up from the bed, picked up the sword next to his pillow, and rushed straight to Gu Chengyu's room next door.
As soon as he kicked the door open, Mingmo just rushed into the house and smelled a faint fragrance. He quickly held his breath, and when the smell of the room dissipated, he drew his sword and rushed into the battle.
Gu Chengyu saw that Mingmo was coming, and hurriedly retreated. He could see in the darkness, so he stepped aside and took a closer look at the man.
Anyway, he has already tried the depth of this person's martial arts, and Mingmo should not have a problem dealing with him.
The man in black was anxious when he saw another person joining. I heard that this Gu Chengyu is strong in martial arts, and a Gu Chengyu is so difficult to deal with, not to mention that he has to add his entourage.
He was very confident in the smoke he had concocted, but he couldn't stun Gu Chengyu today. Is Gu Chengyu already on guard, or is this smoke ineffective against Gu Chengyu?
Could it be that he leaked the news from his side and told him that he was going to attack Gu Chengyu at night?
The black-clothed people had great hatred in their hearts, and when they saw Gu Chengyu standing aside and didn't make a move, they hurriedly led the battle to Gu Chengyu's side.
He had already had the idea of retreating, but Gu Chengyu stood aside and watched. He could only pull Gu Chengyu off the battlefield first, and then come by surprise so that he could escape from here.
A black dress covered the features on this person's body, and it could only be seen that he was a man, and his stature was taller than Mingmo.
Because he was covered with his face, he couldn't see the person's face clearly. But Gu Chengyu is extremely sure that this person is in the same group as the last time he fell in love with Xiangxiang.
In order to prevent this person from taking poison and dying again, Gu Chengyu thought about it, and decided to remove this person's chin before talking.
Lu Chen rubbed his sore and swollen forehead, and was drinking the sobering soup prepared by his subordinates. In fact, he wasn't drunk just now, he just pretended to be drunk to avoid those people's toasts.
I drank too much wine, and my body was really unbearable.
"My lord! Master Gu has been attacked! An entourage rushed to Lu Chen's bedroom and said urgently.
"What? What's going on? Lu Chen hurriedly picked up the sword next to the table and ran to Gu Chengyu's bedroom, Qingquan followed closely with the sword in his hand.
Lu Chen saw the door of the bedroom open from a distance, and it was dark inside, without a sound.
His heart suddenly sank, could it be that they were too late?
"Gu Chengyu!" Lu Chen's hands holding the hilt of the sword trembled slightly, his feet were a little weak, and he staggered forward.
Gu Chengyu and Mingmo had already tied up this person and threw it on the side of their feet.
"My lord! The villain goes to hold the lamp! "It was dark in the room, and the fight just now was due to the perception of danger, and secondly, because there was still moonlight shining in outside.
As soon as Gu Chengyu was about to agree, he heard a terrible cry outside! Frightened, he almost threw the sword in his hand.
Rolled his eyes, what's the name of the big night? Don't you know that people are scary, scared to death?
Mingmo quickly lit the candles in the house, and Lu Chen stood outside the house, looking at the candlelight reflected in the swaying candlelight on the window, a little stunned.
Gu Chengyu walked to the door and looked at Lu Chen, who was still wearing a single coat, but he was not surprised.
This is intended to save him, it's normal to have no time to get dressed, isn't he wearing a middle coat himself?
"Lord Lu, are you practicing your voice late at night? What a lot of fun! Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows and sarcastically said to Lu Chen, then turned around and returned to the house.
They all caught people, and this Lu Chen was only late, which shows how dead he slept before!
Drinking is a mistake!!
