Chapter 254 The Emperor and His Sister
After seeing Xue Ji off, Gu Qianbei's life became quiet again.
The days spent recuperating at the number one manor in the world were quite pleasant.
However, lying down for too long can get a bit boring.
So, Gu Qianbei didn't stay in bed for more than a few days before wandering around the capital again.
"Come to think of it, I don't seem to have many friends in Beijing."
Gu Qianbei wandered aimlessly through the streets of the capital, muttering to himself.
A moment later, he saw a familiar figure.
"That's... Jiang Asheng!"
Gu Qianbei looked in surprise at Jiang Asheng, who was wearing a flying fish robe not far away.
He hadn't seen Jiang Asheng since the Black Stone organization incident ended.
According to Haitang, he joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
I never expected to see him here.
There were three other people beside Jiang Asheng.
Gu Qianbei recognized the three of them at a glance.
Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing, and Jin Yichuan.
Aren't these the three unlucky brothers from Brotherhood of Blades?
How did these three end up with Jiang Asheng?
Gu Qianbei was somewhat surprised, then stepped forward and greeted Jiang Asheng.
"Brother Jiang, it's been a long time."
Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Asheng turned around and saw Gu Qianbei.
"Manager Gu?"
Jiang Asheng was clearly also surprised to see Gu Qianbei here.
"I heard from the manor lord that you had become a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and I didn't quite believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true."
You look quite energetic in that outfit.
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"Not as carefree and unrestrained as Manager Gu."
Jiang Asheng laughed.
Gu Qianbei looked at Shen Lian and the other two behind Jiang Asheng and asked, "Are they your subordinates?"
"I suppose so. They are rare talents among the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
"Serving His Majesty, I need their support most."
Jiang Asheng said.
Gu Qianbei's gaze swept over the three people, who were also observing Gu Qianbei.
"That's good. However, this young man doesn't seem to be in good health; his face is a bit pale."
Gu Qianbei pointed at Jin Yichuan and said softly.
"Yichuan has tuberculosis, so he looks somewhat weak."
However, I have already asked the world's best doctor to treat him, and he should be fully recovered in a while.
Jiang Asheng said.
Gu Qianbei suddenly realized what he meant.
No wonder Shen Lian and the other two followed Jiang Asheng on his business.
Besides Jiang Asheng having powerful backing, it was also because he had shown kindness to the three of them.
Shen Lian and his two companions were as close as brothers. Their healing of Jin Yichuan was enough for all three of them to repay him with their lives.
"I see."
"Manager Gu, I have official business to attend to, so I won't talk to you any longer."
If I'm free another day, I'll come find you for a drink.
"it is good."
Watching Jiang Asheng and the other two leave, Gu Qianbei smiled faintly.
"I never expected things to turn out this way."
Shen Lian and his two companions originally had nothing to lose, but now that they've connected with Jiang Asheng, they've essentially latched onto a powerful figure.
After all, Jiang Asheng was appointed by the emperor, and the imperial power stood behind him.
With this layer of protection, the three brothers should be able to achieve great things.
However, the emperor's decision to place Jiang Asheng in the Embroidered Uniform Guard suggests that he intended to completely subdue the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
This is to take power back from the Eastern Depot.
It seems the young emperor has begun to take action.
Indeed, although he sat on the throne, the power was always controlled by the Eastern Depot and the Dragon Guard Manor. No normal emperor could stand that.
"I just wonder how much of a storm this young man will stir up in this world of martial arts."
Gu Qianbei thought to himself, beginning to feel a little curious about this young man.
His ability to subdue Jiang Asheng directly through extraordinary means is evident.
However, this also shows that the young emperor doesn't have many capable people.
That's how they went through such a long and complicated process to create Jiang Asheng.
This is actually a kind of helplessness.
Gu Qianbei shook his head. What did this have to do with him, a winemaker?
He continued to wander around the streets of Beijing.
Suddenly, a figure blocked his way.
Gu Qianbei looked up and saw a familiar face.
"Young Master Yin Kuang?"
Gu Qianbei recognized the noble-looking young man in front of her.
Wearing a white-based purple striped robe, she exuded an undeniable air of nobility.
"Manager Gu, it's been a long time."
Yin Kuang opened his folding fan and said with a smile.
"It has indeed been a long time. Young Master Yin is still as idle as ever, wandering around the capital."
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"Isn't Manager Gu the same? I've been a regular customer of Qianchousi since it opened, but I've never seen Manager Gu."
Manager Gu is also very busy.
Yin Kuang smiled.
"Although I am a winemaker, I am not a businessman, but a wanderer of the martial arts world."
"If I were trapped in the number one manor in the world, I would never be able to brew such intoxicating wine again."
"I see. Then we really can't stay at the Number One Manor in the World for long."
I wonder if Manager Gu, this江湖人 (jianghu person, a person of the martial arts world), has any intention of serving the imperial court.
I've heard that Manager Gu's martial arts skills are quite formidable.
If one could join the imperial court, one would surely be given an important position.
Yin Kuang's eyes were piercing, and his first words were clearly an invitation to recruit.
Thus, Gu Qianbei was certain that the Yin Kuang before her was a member of the imperial court, and held a high position.
Yin frame......
Gu Qianbei suddenly thought of something, and her gaze towards the noble young man in front of her changed slightly.
The two characters "尹框" put together form the character "君" (ruler).
Is this guy the little emperor?
No wonder he appeared in the incident involving Rama's remains.
I thought he was the emperor's man, but I never expected him to be the emperor himself.
interesting.
It must be quite boring for an emperor to wander the streets of the capital every day.
"I appreciate your kindness, Brother Yin."
However, I'm a free spirit and have no interest in court affairs.
That's a real shame.
Yin Kuang was slightly disappointed upon hearing this.
Just then, a girl dressed as a boy suddenly ran over.
"Brother! I've finally found you! You're really something, always sneaking out by yourself without ever asking me to come with you."
"How can you treat your sister like this?"
The girl grabbed Yin Kuang's right hand and shook it from side to side, her face showing dissatisfaction and spoiled attitude.
"Yunluo, how did you get out?"
Yin Kuang exclaimed in surprise, followed by an undisguised reproach.
Gu Qianbei raised an eyebrow.
Princess Yunluo?
The royal siblings are both here.
"Of course I came out secretly."
Those people can't stop me.
Who is this?
Yunluo looked at Gu Qianbei beside her and asked curiously.
"This is Gu Qianbei, the world's number one winemaker whom I mentioned to you."
The bamboo dew wine you used to really like was brewed by him.
Yunluo suddenly realized.
"So it was you! How do you know how to brew wine? You're amazing!"
I heard you're a martial arts master, how about we have a spar?
Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm incredibly capable!
Yunluo looked eager to try, while Gu Qianbei smiled helplessly.
"Maybe we shouldn't?"
