"Sir, sir?"
Hong Xuening came back to her senses from her thoughts. She was about to wave her hand to let Gu Heng and the other two go back when suddenly, her hand paused and she asked curiously.
"By the way, where were you on the night the celestial appeared?”
Gu Heng revealed a stunned expression, then his expression changed to one of shame.
"Lord, please forgive me. On the night of the reappearance of the celestial being, I followed Commander Chen Mo to attend Commander Liu Dao's banquet in the Drunken Flower Restaurant. I was drunk and muddled, so I fell asleep the moment I returned home. When I woke up, I heard the shocking news of the reappearance of the celestial being and missed the Jinyiwei operation that night.”
Hong Xuening smiled lightly. She also felt that she was overthinking. How could this small flag in front of her be related to that mysterious person and the macheteman who was suspected to be a celestial being?
It seemed that he had been overly suspicious during this period of time.
Hong Xuening rubbed the space between her eyebrows and waved her hand."Go back. You did a good job this time. I'll show the White Tiger your merits.”
"Thank you, sir." Gu Heng and Liu Qi thanked him and left.
After turning a few streets and getting far away, Liu Qi said excitedly,""Congratulations, Lord Gu. It seems that Lord Vermillion Bird is very appreciative of you.”
"Moreover, Lord Vermilion Bird wants to help you show off your merits to Lord White Tiger. Lord Gu, you will be promoted to Chief Banner in a few days.”
Gu Heng smiled and said modestly.
"No, no, half of the credit here is yours, Liu Qi. If I really become the chief flag officer, I will remember your credit.”
Hearing Gu Heng's words, Liu Qi was delighted. This was what he wanted. He could not help but be overjoyed and flatter him repeatedly.
Gu Heng answered without a single drop of water leaking.
In his heart, he had already become stern.
The Vermilion Bird Commander's last sentence had a deep meaning. It seemed that even if Gu Heng's realm was too low and he was not suspected to be the mysterious person or the Heavenly Blade Master, he might still be suspected to be related to these two.
What kind of dog nose did this woman have? Was she so sensitive?
As expected, there were no simple women in this world. It was better to stay as far away from them as possible in the future.
Gu Heng set this principle in his heart.
On the other side, the Centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guards beside Hong Xuening, the Vermilion Bird Commander, who he thought was more sensitive than a dog's nose, asked in a low voice.
"Sir, do you suspect that this kid is related to that mysterious person called Lei Feng or the Heavenly Blade Master?”
"Then why don't you apply to Lord White Tiger Commander and transfer him to the imperial prison so that we can observe him closely?”
"If there are any abnormalities, we can control them immediately.”
Hong Xuening shook her head.
"It's definitely not that simple.”
"Just pay a little attention to this Gu Heng. His realm is too low. It's impossible for him to be that kind of expert. Moreover, even if he hides his cultivation, how old can he be at this age?”
"In addition, don't alert the enemy. If this kid really has this kind of relationship, then it can be considered a relationship with our Embroidered Uniform Guards. Don't overthink yourself and it won't end well.”
The Centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guards nodded in agreement. He secretly remembered Gu Heng in his heart. He wanted to find a time to secretly investigate this kid's situation.
As for Gu Heng, who had been targeted by the Vermilion Bird Commander and the Brocade Guards, after he returned to the Brocade Guards 'Office, he found Centurion Hong and handed him a job. What he received was another big cake.
Centurion Hong praised him and told Gu Heng to rest well. There were still many tough battles to fight, so he could not relax.
Gu Heng promised them one by one. When he left Centurion Hong's room, his fake smile almost froze.
"Damn it, why are there more and more errands? My leisurely days are really gone forever.”
Gu Heng smiled, but his heart was in a mess. He muttered to himself and walked back to the backyard. After greeting Old Yu, he lay straight on the armchair.
"Hey, you came back alive.”
"What a disaster. Why didn't we leave you outside this mission?”
"You must have slacked off again. Did you run away or stop working?”
"Tsk tsk…"
"Eh? Are you asleep?"
Old Yu suddenly opened his eyes. When he heard Gu Heng start snoring, he could not help but choke.
"You brat, you really think this old man's place is an inn.”
" Go to sleep, I'll sleep you to death!!"
Old Yu's eyes were slightly narrowed. Even he himself did not know that at this moment, a purple light was circulating in his eyes. When he zoomed in, a mysterious rune was slightly twisted and trembling at the core of the light.
The vibration lasted for only three breaths. After three breaths, the mysterious rune slowly stopped. The purple light stopped flowing and disappeared into the depths of Lao Yu's pupils.
Just as the purple light disappeared, Old Yu's eyes were filled with confusion. It seemed that something had happened just now, but it also seemed that nothing had happened.
When he thought of this, even the thought that flashed across his mind just now disappeared.
"Sigh, this grandson really doesn't know how to respect his teacher. He caused this old man to be so busy here.”
"Sigh, the world is getting worse by the day.”
Old Yu kept muttering about how the world was getting worse and worse. He continued to move his hands and feet. Information was extracted from the paper in his hand, smelted into useful information, and transmitted.
