Gu Chengyu was monitored by people in the dark, and he didn't want Lu Chen to know that he had subordinates in Hejian Mansion to inquire about the news.

As soon as Ding Ba slipped away from the open window at the back, Lu Chen's voice sounded outside the house.

"Jinyu!" Lu Chen stood still outside the door, and waited for Mingmo to come out and invite him, and then he entered the house.

"You didn't get a good rest yesterday?" Lu Chen's inquiring gaze glanced at Gu Chengyu, and saw that Gu Chengyu's face was the same as usual, but he asked so.

He looked at Gu Chengyu's clothes, and saw that Gu Chengyu had changed into a royal blue round-necked robe, and his eyes narrowed.

"I recognize the bed!" Gu Chengyu said casually.

"Oh? I slept soundly last night. Lu Chen found a chair and sat down, as if casually glancing at Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Then Lord Lu shouldn't recognize the bed!" ”

"Where are you going to start? Have you ever wondered whose hand the treasure map is? Lu Chen saw that Gu Chengyu's face was natural, and he had to let go of the doubts in his heart.

"Didn't the emperor assign you a lot of people? Those people should have arrived in Hejian Mansion before us. As for who the treasure map is, doesn't Lord Lu know better than the lower officials? ”

Ming Yan put the morning food on the table, and Gu Chengyu had already finished washing!

"Didn't you just arrive in Hejian Mansion, and you haven't had time to ask? However, the emperor has entrusted you with important tasks, and I have only come to ensure your safety. As for the things that require brains, don't count on me. ”

Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders and asked Ming Yan to serve him a bowl of millet porridge, and tasted the crystal shrimp dumplings on the table.

This Lu Chen's face is not ordinarily thick, Gu Chengyu has already understood it when he was on the road.

Ming Yan knew that this would be the case, so the amount of morning food was prepared for two people.

"Lord Lu is wrong, the emperor praised Lord Lu fiercely in front of the lower officials, Lord Lu should not be modest. You also know that the foundation of the lower officials is shallow, if you don't inquire about the news, then the lower officials are really at a loss. ”

Gu Chengyu glanced at Lu Chen, he didn't think that Lu Chen knew nothing about the situation in Hejian Mansion.

Before coming, Lu Chen was afraid that he would find out the news.

"Lord Lu! We're grasshoppers on a rope now, and you don't have to hide it when you get the news. Otherwise, the lower officials won't get the treasure map, and we will both go around without food. ”

Gu Chengyu was afraid that Lu Chen would make a stumbling block for himself in secret, and this mission could not be allowed to fail.

Otherwise, if you are promoted, you will have to bear the anger of the emperor.

"I know it, Jinyu is still worried about me? When you're away from home, Jinyu still calls me my cousin, right? Otherwise, it's okay to call me Second Brother Lu! ”

Lu Chen smiled faintly, and his tone seemed very sincere.

However, in his heart, he doubted whether Gu Chengyu's words were true. Did Gu Chengyu not know anything about the situation in Hejian Mansion? I'm afraid it's not likely, right?

"Second Brother Lu!" Gu Chengyu didn't shirk either, and shouted kindly.

"My lord! Outside, Lord Lu's entourage asks to see him! Mingmo, who was guarding outside, came in to report.

Lu Chen wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "Look, isn't this coming?" ”

The capital, in the palace of King Jing.

"Lord Wang! Lord Lu and Master Gu had already arrived at Hejian Mansion. ”

King Jing put down the jade flute in his hand, frowned and pondered.

He had an agent in the Zhan Yuanhou Mansion, Lu Chen set off overnight seven days ago, and as soon as he left the mansion, he got the news.

King Jing knew that Lu Chen did not intend to conceal his whereabouts, otherwise it would not be enough to grasp Lu Chen's whereabouts with the secret agents of the Marquis Zhan Yuan's Mansion.

As for Lu Chen, he is becoming more and more incomprehensible now. Could it be that Lu Chen really cared about the love between them, so he specially reminded himself?

King Jing shook his head, not convinced. But no matter what Lu Chen's intentions were in doing this, it was true that he got the news.

I didn't expect my father to send Gu Chengyu to Hejian Mansion to investigate this matter, it seems that my father really values Gu Chengyu.

For failing to recruit Gu Chengyu, King Jing has always felt very regretful.

He was wondering if he should let the news out. Although he naturally appreciates a talented person like Gu Chengyu.

But compared with the foundation of the country, talented people seem so insignificant.

His father already knew about the treasure, so he was hesitant to intervene at the moment.

If you want to compete with each other and make profits for fishermen as before, it will naturally not work.

He knows Gu Chengyu's ability, if he continues to wait like this, then it will only be Gu Chengyu who can become a fisherman in the end.

In this case, it is better to muddy the water and let Gu Chengyu deal with those difficult enemies.

"Someone! Let the secret agent in Hejian Mansion reveal the news, and say that the emperor's envoy has arrived in Hejian Mansion. ”

"So, half of the treasure map is in Yifu?" Gu Chengyu asked pretending to be surprised.

"Not bad! What are you going to do? Lu Chen glanced at Gu Chengyu, he wanted to hear Gu Chengyu's plan.

"Don't worry, the other forces are still waiting, what are we going to do first?"

Gu Chengyu shook his head, what he cared about now was where the other half of the treasure map was.

Lu Chen has a lot of people under him, and the news he found is more comprehensive than his own. Gu Chengyu remembered what happened last night and decided to send someone to spy on Lu Chen.

"Second Brother Lu, let's quickly find out the whereabouts of the other half of the treasure map! If we are still in Hejian Mansion, we can still think of ideas. But if we go out of Hejian Mansion, the world is so big, we are only afraid that we will return in defeat. ”

Lu Chen also thought that only half of it would definitely not succeed.

Gu Chengyu stayed at home for the past two days, only staying in the small courtyard to practice calligraphy and depict Danqing.

Lu Chen also changed his previous eagerness, and also evaluated Gu Chengyu's calligraphy and paintings.

"My lord! The Yan Mansion sent someone to deliver the prayer post. Just when Gu Chengyu was painting leisurely, Mingmo appeared in the small study with a solemn face.

Gu Chengyu was stunned when he heard this, put down the pen, and took the greeting post in Mingmo's hand.

Before he looked at the post, he took a special look at Lu Chen.

"Yan Mansion? It seems that our whereabouts have been exposed. Lu Chen's face also sank, he looked up and found that Gu Chengyu's peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be drunk but not drunk, were looking at him with a smile at this time.

Those deep pupils seem to see through themselves.

Lu Chen's heart suddenly became a little uncomfortable, as if he was a little flustered.

"We just arrived in Hejian Mansion, and we haven't done anything yet! I didn't expect these people to get the news, but they are really powerful. ”

Gu Chengyu took the post and glanced at it, then threw it aside.

His whereabouts were exposed, and Gu Chengyu was naturally a little displeased. It is impossible for him to be exposed here, and the only possibility is Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was friendly with King Jing, maybe King Jing revealed their visit to Hejian Mansion.
