Chapter 324 Gu Yunxiao
After saying that, as if she had caught Gu Chenglin red-handed, she said, "Moreover, this human skin mask is not something that ordinary people can afford."
I can see it clearly; he definitely has a secret he's hiding.
Otherwise, why would he be wearing a human skin mask? Shouldn't that raise suspicion?
Li Mulin pointed at Cao Xingwang, speechless with anger. His Majesty had said that Gu Chenglin's identity could not be revealed.
But this old guy...
How can someone be so jealous? No wonder...
No wonder he couldn't stay in any department for long, and they ended up throwing him into this position.
If it weren't for the old lady of the Marquis of Anyang's mansion (the grandmother of the fourteenth prince's mother) finding His Majesty and transferring him from another department, he might not be alive today.
"Cao Xingwang, you are truly beyond redemption!"
Cao Xingwang, like a shrew from the marketplace, said: "You surnamed Li, you can't protect him now, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has made its move."
Do you know what their involvement means?
Li Mulin looked at Gu Yunxiao anxiously: "Young Duke, you should be careful about this matter."
Don't just listen to his side of the story; this matter isn't that simple.
Gu Yunxiao watched them argue, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly, "Whether it's true or not, we'll investigate first."
Li Mulin hurriedly stopped them: "Young Duke, you can't do that! This Gu Chenglin was personally delivered by His Majesty."
If he had a problem, do you think His Majesty wouldn't know?
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guards all stopped and looked at Gu Yunxiao.
One of the Imperial Guards spoke up: "Deputy Commander, what do you think..."
Gu Yunxiao also hesitated. Although he rarely went on missions before, this was the first mission he had taken on after Changsun Lan left.
This cannot be taken lightly.
As Cao Xingwang said, a human skin mask is not something an ordinary person can use.
The reason he hesitated was that he wondered if Cang Lingyuan knew about this.
He has been avoiding Cang Lingyuan all these years because there are many suspicious circumstances surrounding his mother's death.
This concerns his cousin, the emperor Cang Lingyuan, and he cannot allow anyone to sabotage anything his cousin has done.
Gu Chenglin frowned as he came out of the experimental field and saw a group of people gathered around him.
He's been here for a while now, and apart from that guy surnamed Cao who's always causing trouble, the others are alright.
Most of the agricultural instructors here come from humble backgrounds and are all skilled farmers. It's not difficult to communicate with them.
He was intrigued to see the Imperial Guards coming over.
This is quite rare; it's unusual for the Imperial Guards to appear in an imperial estate.
Thinking about it, I took a step forward.
He was already at the sixth level of martial arts master. He hadn't been gone long when he heard the reason for the commotion.
Is this someone looking for him?
That old guy surnamed Cao is really persistent. It is said that he once volunteered himself, saying that he could grow multi-season rice and wanted this experimental field.
But three years have passed, and not only has he failed in his experiment, but I heard that the year before last, due to his mistake, the rice harvest in the field failed completely.
When his cousin, the emperor, asked him to manage that experimental field, this man was dissatisfied and even made a bet.
But what is going on?
Is this a sign of being unable to accept defeat?
He said there was no need for that, and he would leave once the rice seedlings had recovered.
I really don't know what he's up to.
Furthermore, these days, that old man has been deliberately making things difficult for him, both openly and secretly.
I didn't expect him to actually bring in the Embroidered Uniform Guard this time. Interesting.
He wanted to see what this old guy was up to.
“Gu Chenglin is a spy for another country,” Cao Xingwang shouted with absolute certainty.
Li Mulin's face trembled with anger as she pointed at him, saying, "You're being completely unreasonable."
Gu Chenglin heard these words as he approached, and sneered inwardly. It seemed that this old guy was trying to sabotage things. His rice seedlings could be planted by tomorrow or the day after at the latest.
It seems this old man has been bribed. Who exactly is the spy?
Trying to cause trouble? Ha, that won't do.
"Master Li, what happened? Have you found the person I asked for?"
As soon as Gu Chenglin appeared, everyone looked over.
Cao Xingwang, in particular, couldn't hide his excitement when he saw Gu Chenglin arrive.
It perfectly portrays the arrogance and domineering nature of a petty person who has achieved success.
Pointing at Gu Chenglin: "Young Duke, that's him, he's the Gu Chenglin who wears the human skin mask."
Gu Yunxiao looked at Gu Chenglin and frowned. Why did this man's features seem so familiar?
But now that things have come to this, he can't just ignore it.
"take away!"
Gu Chenglin snapped out of his thoughts: "Take them away? Take them where?"
Cao Xingwang pointed at Gu Chenglin: "Young Duke, he's wearing a human skin mask. If you don't believe me, go up and tear it off for him."
If I've said anything wrong, the Duke of Xiaoguo may do as he pleases."
Gu Chenglin's heart skipped a beat when he heard his words; so that's how it is.
No wonder he felt like there was a spying gaze in the room when he washed his face and got some fresh air last time; he had previously thought he was being too sensitive.
Haha, so his room was being watched.
Gu Yunxiao glanced at Gu Chenglin sideways: "What explanation do you have?"
Gu Chenglin sneered. He had finally heard clearly who this person was: the young Duke of Rongguo's mansion, his own brother.
What a small world!
Seriously, should we tear this human skin mask off or tear it off?
And then, should we acknowledge it or not?
This is a bit of a dilemma; he's missing his wife.
“There’s no explanation,” Gu Chenglin said, then looked at Gu Yunxiao and chuckled.
He reached out and tore off the human skin mask from his face, revealing a handsome face.
When Gu Yunxiao saw that face, he was so shocked that he took a step back and stared intently at the familiar face.
"You...who are you?"
Gu Chenglin put away the human skin mask: "Gu Chenglin."
At this moment, he was no longer as hesitant as before.
At this moment, Lei Hefeng and Cangying appeared, followed by a group of people.
When Feng and Lei saw Gu Chenglin tear off his mask, they knew something was wrong, but they were mostly curious.
He hurried closer and realized who was standing opposite him.
Previously, Gu Yunxiao was standing with his back to them, which puzzled him and Cangying.
Changsun Lan secretly left the capital, so how did these Imperial Guards end up here?
Cangying looked at Gu Yunxiao: "What are you doing here?"
Gu Yunxiao looked at Feng, Lei, and Cangying, then at Gu Chenglin: "Someone reported that he is a spy from another country."
Feng laughed when he heard these words, and laughed loudly: "Young Master, you're really funny, you actually believe this."
The reason my young master wears a human skin mask is...
Gu Chenglin reached out to interrupt Feng: "Feng, they are handling a case."
Feng immediately fell silent, standing to the side with a look of frustration.
But she felt a little uncomfortable and resentful that Gu Chenglin had secretly dropped his pretense.
But should he report it or not?
The words Dongfang Jin had said last time were still ringing in their ears, reminding them to recognize their own identities.
The four of them hadn't told their old master the truth about Gu Chenglin's situation for a long time.
But this unpredictable Gu Yunxiao...
Before Gu Yunxiao could ask any questions...
Cangying looked at Cao Xingwang, walked over and kicked him to the ground: "It's you again, you old bastard, causing trouble. You have no skills and you always cause trouble."
I think you are the spy from another country, Duke Xiao. You should investigate this matter thoroughly.
This guy has repeatedly obstructed my son-in-law's experimental field for planting multi-season rice. He comes here to cause trouble all the time.
My son-in-law is someone His Majesty has openly associated with, and he was personally brought here by His Majesty.
My son-in-law said he'll leave once the multi-season rice cultivation here is successful.
He wore the human skin mask because he didn't want to cause trouble; he didn't want anyone to recognize him later.
Cao Xingwang lay on the ground, trembling all over in fear as he listened to Cangying's words.
He's not a spy; he just doesn't believe Gu Chenglin can grow multiple seasons of rice.
He's been here for ten years.
He has been involved in this multi-season rice experiment for five years. Three years ago, he asked for a piece of land on his own, wanting to conduct the experiment himself, but he has not been successful yet.
That day, when he saw Gu Chenglin personally turning over the soil, he suddenly had an inspiration.
