“Yes, what can I do for you?” The coachman returned to the Gu Master respectfully.
The Gu Master took out a jar of wild mountain wine from his bag. “Go and give it to them.”
“Huh?” The coachman was stunned. “Why did you suddenly give them wine?” And it was such a high-grade wine?
The coachman had followed the Gu Master all the way, so he naturally recognized that this was a gift the Gu Master planned to offer to the aristocratic families after entering the Capital. This wine could not be bought on the market and was brewed by the local wine master who picked the largest wild mountain grape. The reason why the Gu Master obtained it was also by chance.
The Gu Master had his own plans. Alcohol was good, but ever since he knew Lord Fei Luo, the Gu Master felt that there was a clear path in front of him. He would not hesitate to do anything that could serve Lord Fei Luo.!!
“Just give it to them when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”
“Then… if they ask, how will I answer?”
“Just say… use wine to exchange for some rabbit meat.”
In the end, you’re still hungry for rabbit meat! As the coachman cursed, he took the wine and left.
“My lord asked me to send this good wine,” the coachman said.
Good wine? The old man snorted in disdain. How could they call it good wine without fifty years?
Old Cui: I’ve been in the palace for more than ten years, but I’ve never seen such an unpalatable wine.
Qing Yan and Yue Gou: The Ghost Clan’s wild mountain grape wine is the real good wine.
Yan Jiuchao: I don’t even like the wine given by the Emperor. Where did this lousy wine come from?
The good wine that the Gu Master endured the pain of giving up was simply a jar of trash in the eyes of a group of big shots. The coachman did not even dare to say anything about exchanging for rabbit meat. He carried the wine jar and dejectedly went to report to his master.
The Gu Master was furious. If he hadn’t been thinking about his plan at night, he would have rushed out to deal with that group of people!
The coachman was secretly puzzled. This lord’s temper was not very good. Why did he not flare up even after that group of people angered him?
The Gu Master took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. “Keep an eye on that maidservant called Zi Su. Find an opportunity to bring her to my tent.”
“This…” The coachman wanted to say that he couldn’t do it. Zi Su was inseparable from that burly Fu Ling. How could he kidnap her?
However, perhaps because the coachman was lucky, he really bumped into the lone Zi Su.
Zi Su went to the forest to relieve herself. It was not good to let anyone follow her. Just as she left the forest, she was stopped by the coachman.
Zi Su was shocked!
The coachman quickly smiled and said, “Miss Zi Su, it’s me!”
Zi Su took a closer look. “It’s you?”
Zi Su took a step to the side. When the coachman saw her actions, he knew that she wanted to leave as soon as possible and was unwilling to strike up a conversation with him. The coachman was afraid that Zi Su would call out and attract others if he cornered her.
“Miss Zi Su,” the coachman said. “Can we talk in private?”
“What are you doing?” Zi Su looked at him warily.
The coachman hurriedly said, “Miss Zi Su, don’t misunderstand. I don’t have any ill intentions. It’s really just that my master wants to say a few words to you. I won’t delay you for too long. Besides, Big Brother Jiang and the others are all around. They’ll come out to look for you when they don’t see you later.”
This was the truth. If the Gu Master really did something to Zi Su, with Jiang Hai and the other two’s abilities, they could instantly save her.
Zi Su still looked hesitant. The coachman gestured with his fingers and said, “I swear to God, I won’t hurt Miss Zi Su.”
Zi Su hesitated and finally left with the coachman. In the tent, Zi Su saw the arrogant Gu Master.
A Gu Master was obsessed with Gu techniques and did not have much feelings for women. Therefore, although Zi Su was good-looking, he did not have any improper thoughts about her. This was also one of the reasons why Zi Su dared to see him.
“Go outside and guard,” the Gu Master said.
“Yes.” The coachman left the tent.
Zi Su greeted indifferently, “May I know why you’re looking for me?”
The Gu Master said arrogantly, “I believe you’ve heard about what happened this morning. A lord has taken a fancy to you. That lord is also a Gu Master. His strength and status are above mine, so I wanted to ask you if you’re willing to follow him.”
“I’m unwilling,” Zi Su said without thinking.
“You…” The Gu Master choked. “Aren’t you going to consider it?”
Zi Su said neither servile nor overbearing, “If that lord really likes me, he should have come forward openly and asked my young master for me, instead of using you to force my young master to sell me.”
The Gu Master snorted. “A mere maidservant is quite arrogant. Do you know who that lord is?”
Zi Su remained silent.
The Gu Master said, “Have you heard of the Queen Manor? The Queen is the only Princess of the Emperor of Nanzhao. She’s the future Emperor, and Lord Fei Luo’s master is an esteemed guest of the Queen Manor. It doesn’t matter if you offend me, but the gains won’t make up for the losses if you offend the Queen’s guest. I advise you not to overestimate your abilities. Your young master can’t bear to part with you. It’s because he’s loyal. What about you? Can you bear to implicate such a person who’s thinking for you?”
A conflicted expression appeared on Zi Su’s face.
The Gu Master knew that she had listened to him. Originally, this was not a difficult choice. How could following a mediocre little master be compared to being a woman of the Gu Master?
“Lord Fei Luo will also enter the Queen Manor to work for her this time. If you go with him, you won’t have to worry about wealth and your future will be bright. Isn’t it much better than following a nameless kid?”
The Gu Master said what he was thinking. Seeing that Zi Su was still unwilling to let go, he cursed her for being pigheaded and his expression darkened. “Besides, even if you don’t think for yourself, you have to think for your young master, right? Your young master offended the Gu Master of the Queen Manor. What good ending can he have?”
