721 Not going with you
After resting for a while, Lu Zheng came over to treat Gu Hui and Gu Xin to a meal.
There was a table in the hall, and only the four of them were eating.
Gu Xin took a look and saw that the entire table was filled with her favorite food!
Lu Zheng looked at Gu Xin’s bright eyes and knew that he was right. Although Xinxin’s taste was heavier, she still liked to eat those dishes!
After a full meal, Lu Zheng asked the servants to remove the bowls and chopsticks.
“Brother Yuanyuan, how many people are there in your courtyard? Only uncle Hu, aunt Hu, and warrior du RUO?” Gu Xin asked curiously.
“Warrior?” Lu Zheng was stunned.
“Yup! He’s so strong, and he looks very powerful. He’s called a warrior! If you call him uncle, he’ll look a little younger, and if you call him big brother, he’ll look a little cold, so you call him warrior!” Gu Xin explained.
yes, other than the three of them, there’s also du RUO’s elder brother, Zhong du! Lu Zheng laughed.
In her previous life, Xinxin had also called the du brothers that.
He remembered that the first time she met the du brothers was when they were on their way to the capital from Jiangnan. There was an assassination attempt and the du brothers had been hiding in the dark. Gu Xin saw them that time and since then, Gu Xin had been calling them brave men.
So, this was the reason for calling him a warrior!
The du brothers were hired by his stepmother to kill him when he came to Yuzhou when he was ten years old. He dodged them cleverly and finally got the brothers to work for him.
A few of the people around him were sent by his stepmother to assassinate him. He accepted those who could be used by him, and killed those who were not.
At that time, his martial arts weren’t strong, but he was smart. It wasn’t that easy to kill him.
“Du RUO, Zhong du! I’m guessing that some of their family members must be doctors, and they all use the names of the herbs. Isn’t that right, brother Yuanyuan?” Gu Xin’s face was full of ‘I’m so smart, hurry up and praise me’.
She had already memorized the names of all the medicinal herbs that grandma Xiao had given her, and she was not joking when she said she wanted to study medicine.
Not only did she memorize the names of the medicinal herbs, but she also memorized the medicinal properties of each medicinal herb, as well as the things that complemented and countered each other. She didn’t finish memorizing them, but she was almost done.
“Yes, our Xinxin is really smart!” Lu Zheng was very cooperative.
hehehe ~”Gu Xin laughed happily.
Gu Hui looked at the two of them speechlessly. There were two living people next to them. Xinxin didn’t understand. Ah Yuan, can you pay more attention?
Perhaps Gu Hui’s gaze was too straightforward. Lu Zheng coughed twice. ahem, sister Huihui, I won’t go with you to the magistrate’s office tomorrow. Meng Meng and du RUO will go with you!
“Why?”
“The Xie family knows my father, so they know me as well,” Lu Zheng said apologetically. I don’t want my father’s people to know about me for the time being. So, I’m sorry!”
Gu Xin came to a realization,’no wonder brother Yuanyuan covered your face last night and made Xie Nanfeng do the same just now. So you guys know each other! But, brother Yuanyuan, does Xie Nanfeng know du RUO? If he does, du RUO can forget about accompanying us. It’s not good to be exposed!”
Lu Zheng shook his head and said,”other than the three of you and the rest of them, no one else knows that du RUO is on my side.” So, it didn’t matter. I’m more at ease with him by my side. I’ll be waiting for you in the tavern outside the mansion tomorrow.”
Gu Xin nodded, ” yes, yes. Alright then! Brother Yuanyuan, you have to protect yourself well too. Don’t let anyone find out. You’re from Yuzhou, so you must have a lot of relatives here.”
“Alright, I’ll remember,” Lu Zheng nodded.
