Chapter 279 Counted Again

Although Court Lady Gu knew a little bit about how to play chess, but after all, she was young, how could she show off her limited knowledge in front of the two old men, not to mention that the two old men were already gray-haired and old, and it was even more unlikely that she would be able to solve the game that the two of them couldn't do anything about.

"Let me not give it a try, I don't think it's a difficult move." Such a weird voice line really made Court Lady Gu have to think of that person who made people feel uncomfortable all over, she turned her head back, and sure enough, it was still really Bai Zhi.

What exactly is this Bai Zhi? How could he come to a banquet organized by Gu Linjiang, didn't he say he was just a shopkeeper at the tavern? Perhaps it was because of only a one-sided relationship, Bai Zhi didn't seem to realize that this Gu family's eldest young lady in front of her was the one who had stood up for that drunkard in the tavern that day, but instead, she concentrated on the chess game in front of her, picking up a black piece, "Let's see, if this piece is placed here, the entire chess game, will immediately come alive!"

Bai Zhi seems to be very knowledgeable about chess, the two old men originally wanted to reprimand him for not knowing the rules, but did not expect that after that black piece fell onto the board, the whole game really came to life, even Gu Qiang, a person who does not know much about chess, understood that, indeed, after that black piece of Bai Zhi's landed on the board, the whole game seemed to be like the eye of a dragon, and it came to life.

"I didn't expect that this young man would still have such profound research in the art of chess." The two pedantic old men, after seeing the game come to life, gradually showed smiles on their faces, "Young man, I didn't expect you to still be very good? Which family's son are you?"

"Prince? No dare, no dare, I am a prince of the Dongliang Kingdom, and today as well. Prime Minister Gu invited me over, saying that he still has a daughter who is waiting to be married, and I heard that the reputation is one of national splendor, so I specially came to take a look today, and I wonder if the two old men whether this remaining daughter of the Gu family is really as nationally beautiful as Prime Minister Gu himself said?"

The two old men looked at each other in dismay, and did not seem to understand exactly what she was saying, but one thing was already clear, this person in front of them was a prince of Dongliang Kingdom, which meant that Prime Minister Gu really did intend to want to make peace with Dongliang Kingdom.

Court Lady Gu flattened her mouth, "A daughter whose looks were born to be a beauty?" At this point in time, there is only one Gu Zhiyao left in the Gu family, isn't there? Although she is not considered to be a beautiful daughter, but she is also better looking than Gu Zhiyao, by virtue of Gu Zhiyao's appearance, it seems that she can not afford to be a beautiful daughter, right?

"Hmm? It's a pity that no matter how good-looking Prime Minister Gu's daughter is, she's not to my liking, after all, this prince doesn't like those vulgar women."

Bai Zhi's identity, since it is the Dongliang country's prince, his various behaviors become even more strange, Gu Qiang court officials have no way to understand, why this should be in the forest country with his tail between his legs to be a person of the prince, but even dared to go on a rampage in Kyoto to acquire stores, so that the deep-minded Shen Zhongbai is not even more to be taken as a thorn in the side of the eyes of him? Even for someone like Shen Qianshan who always keeps a low profile, he will always be looked for trouble by Shen Zhongbai under various excuses, how come this hostage has been in Kyoto for such a long time and hasn't been stared at by Shen Zhongbai yet?

"You can see clearly, that woman over there wearing purple, you mustn't recognize the wrong person, drag her to the room in the back, the rest of the things will be done according to what I explained to you." Court lady Gu is curious about what kind of identity this Bai Zhi is, completely did not think that she has been targeted, Ye's this time, can be regarded as his entire body and life are blocked, only to let Shen Zhongbai know, Court lady Gu is actually a how slutty woman, will make Shen Zhongbai's heart, Gu Zhi painting's position is more and more important, "You must not give me a mess up."

Court Lady Gu turned her head and scanned around before realizing that Ye, who was supposed to be released from her confinement today, didn't even show up at this banquet, which was a bit unexpected for him, couldn't it be that she was holding back some weird idea?

Ye's this person's heart is deep, one can count on having to be on guard.

"Your Majesty, what about the previous matter, my daughter has also admitted her mistake to the court ladies, you see now this situation is not to take a time out, let Zhi Hua go back to the palace earlier?" Gu Linjiang had taken advantage of the fact that Shen Zhongbai wouldn't let him, the prime minister, get down in front of so many people, so he had picked a time like this to do this. To be honest, he actually didn't want to beg Shen Qianshan anymore, as long as both Court Lady Gu and Gu Zhiying appeared at the banquet at the same time, Shen Zhongbai would naturally understand that Gu Zhiying had indeed apologized to Court Lady Gu.

"Prime Minister Gu, what are you talking about? Since Zhi Painting has already admitted her mistake, it's only right to go back, I will immediately send someone to pick up Zhi Painting to return to the palace, please don't be too anxious, Prime Minister Gu." Gu Linjiang always since he can rely on their own this daughter, to control their every move, but completely did not think, since he can do this position will certainly not be so easy to be a woman left and right, since Gu Linjiang this old fox so urgent want to send their own daughter back to the palace, their own is not to procrastinate what, directly accept it is good.

However, even if Gu Linjiang was able to send Gu Zhiying back again, it didn't mean that Gu Zhiying would still have the same status as before, and things in the palace were naturally still up to him, the emperor.

"Since there is the emperor this sentence, then the old minister will rest assured, or the female court officials and know the painting two people all find over, face to face with the emperor to say on, to explain the previous things, come people, the big miss and the second miss, all call over."

"Your lordship, since the ring was withdrawn just now, there has been no sign of Missy." The family servant also asked a large circle before getting such a conclusion, perhaps the eldest young miss was originally unwilling to stay in the Prime Minister's residence for more time, so she left early, right?

Gu Linjiang's face obviously began to change, he really can't figure out the nature of Gu Qiang's court, obviously have already responded to the invitation's request to come to this place, but will still leave halfway, simply did not consider that he has no way to stop this thing.

After Shen Zhongbai heard the news, he instead looked at Gu Linjiang in front of him with amusement, "Didn't Prime Minister Gu just say that Zhi Hua had already apologized to the court ladies? If the relationship between the two sisters was really as good as Prime Minister said, why would the court ladies leave like that without even saying a word on their way to the banquet?"

"Master, an underling just told me that he seemed to have seen Eldest Miss go to the backyard."

"Then why don't you go find it?"

Gu Linjiang originally thought that it was Court Lady Gu, who didn't give herself this face and wanted to make herself this ugly in front of Shen Zhongbai, and that's why she disappeared halfway through the banquet, but as soon as he heard the subordinate say that she went to the backyard, he suddenly had a very strange feeling in his heart, and vaguely felt that something would happen.

When Court Lady Gu woke up, she only felt that the back of her head was a bit hard to feel, he looked at Bai Zhi, who was dressed in white in front of him, and was inevitably a bit confused, "What are you doing here? Why am I here?"

Bai Zhi kicked the one tied up in a ball by her feet, "If I were you, I'd ask who the hell was trying to hurt me, did you save me?"

Bai Zhi in fact is not clear, the entire prime minister's residence is what kind of intricate relationship, but he saw Gu Qiang towards the backyard, seems to be called by someone, in the back of a rockery, someone suddenly want to attack her, fortunately by their own quick eyes and hands blocked down, Gu Qiang just because the back of the head on the ground, so hit some pain, he really does not know this family man in the back, attack Gu Qiang, in fact what purpose, but can be sure that must want to harm her rather than wanting to do something else. He really did not know what the purpose of this court lady's attack behind her back was, but what was certain was that he wanted to harm her, not to do anything else.

"A carelessness that has found its way back to them."

"I didn't realize that you are also the Gu family's young lady, if that younger sister of yours really looks the same as you, so good looking, then I might really consider it, but then, I've just sneakily gone to see it, this fourth daughter of Prime Minister Gu, doesn't seem to be as good looking as he said? Even his second daughter who is the imperial consort doesn't seem to be very good looking, this is strange, Prime Minister Gu isn't ugly, how come the difference in his daughters' appearance is so big?"

Court Lady Gu didn't have the heart to pull his punches here, to be honest, she hadn't seen Ye when she was at the banquet just now, this must have been another thing she had set up.

"Thank you for saving me, but I'm afraid I'll have to thank you for this another time."

Bai Zhi is different from ordinary men. He has the Dragon Yang good, in the behavior and demeanor is also somewhat similar to women, observation is extremely keen, but let Gu Qiang, some worried about this Bai Zhi is not already recognized their own right?

"That day in the restaurant, I thought you were a person who knew martial arts, after making half a day you were actually unarmed, I would have liked to see exactly how you took this person down with one move, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was me who saved you."

Gu Qiang, heart shocked, really no disguise, their own face is still more inclined to women, even if wearing a man's clothes also, it is very easy to be found out that it is a woman.

"You've even recognized me."

"Probably from the day of the tavern, I know what your identity is, but fortunately I really don't have any interest in you royals, what about the fact that I've taught you today, some other day you'll prepare two jars of good wine and send them to my tavern."
