24
After Jia Huan left the marquis fu, he brought ten personal guards to Fan Tower.
This was the largest restaurant in the capital. It could be said to be the favorite place for dignitaries and nobles.
This was the place where Gu Qianfan invited him.
In front of the Fan Tower, although Jia Huan was not wearing a python robe, he was followed by ten mighty guards in black armor, immediately attracting the attention of the entire audience.
"Wow! Personal guards! Which noble young master is this?"
"Strange, there shouldn't be many Wu Xun who can have personal guards in the capital.”
"Just now, a Marquis Ningyuan's Second Young Master entered, but from the looks of it, he's far inferior to this one!”
Ordinary people did not know, but some smart people immediately guessed who Jia Huan was.
After all, the people who came to Fan Lou were all dignitaries and nobles. There were quite a few who could recognize Jia Huan.
"It's the Marquis Champion!"
"Hiss! Our Great Zhou has just become a first-grade marquis!"
Everyone exclaimed in shock. Was this the famous Marquis Champion? If not for his age, he would probably be the new Duke of the country.
"Lord Marquis, please!"
Fan Lou's servant bowed respectfully to Jia Huan.
Jia Huan nodded. Then, under the guidance of the servant of Fan Lou, they arrived at a private room by the window on the second floor.
"Hahaha, Lord Marquis is finally here.”
Gu Qianfan immediately stood up. He was a stern and unsmiling living Yama. Only when he faced Jia Huan did he smile sincerely because he admired Jia Huan very much.
Jia Huan smiled slightly. He had dealt with Gu Qianfan many times, so they were very familiar with each other. They could be considered comrades.
"And this is?"
He realized that there was someone else besides him and Gu Qianfan.
That person stood up and cupped his hands towards Jia Huan.
"Gu Tingye of the Marquis of Ningyuan pays his respects to the Marquis.”
So this person was Gu Tingye?
Jia Huan's eyes flashed. He had seen Gu Tingye's father, Gu Yankai, in the Northern Expedition Army. This person had the merit of following the dragon in the future!
The three of them sat down. Although Jia Huan looked handsome and tall, he was only twelve years old.
The oldest was Gu Qianfan, who was in his twenties.
(Changed. If Gu Qianfan was still in his early thirties, Zhao Pan 'er would be too old and not suitable for the main character.)）
As for Gu Tingye, he looked to be around 20 years old. What made Jia Huan puzzled was how these two people knew each other.
Gu Qianfan seemed to have noticed Jia Huan's confusion and said with a smile.
"Gu Erlang and I are of the same clan."
After a pause, Gu Qianfan decided not to hide it from Jia Huan. After all, he felt that Jia Huan was someone he could befriend.
"My mother divorced a few years ago and I was adopted under my uncle's name. My mother is Gu Tingye's aunt.”
Jia Huan suddenly realized that the two of them were of the same clan, but they were actually cousins.
After all, he knew Gu Qianfan's background. His father was the Left Prime Minister, Xiao Qinyan.
"When I saw Marquis Champion Feng Cai that day, I couldn't forget him, so I shamelessly invited Big Brother Qian Fan to host a banquet.”
Gu Tingye had also participated in the battle to defend the capital, so he had personally witnessed Jia Huan's horse and bow shooting the Great Khan of the Tartars to death. Like Gu Qianfan, he admired Jia Huan greatly.
Jia Huan smiled and waved his hand. Then, the three of them began to chat. Then, Jia Huan learned an unexpected piece of news.
Gu Tingye had actually joined the Imperial City Bureau!
One had to know that Gu Tingye had always been a playboy. Everything was because his stepmother deliberately indulged him. This was similar to Madam Wang.
Back then, Madam Wang deliberately wanted to raise Jia Huan into a good-for-nothing.
However, Gu Tingye did not know the truth. He still thought that his stepmother was very good to him and allowed him to play.
However, he did not expect that because of the battle to defend the capital, he had a heroic spirit. That was why he found Gu Qianfan and entered the Imperial City Bureau.
With the status of the Marquis of Ningyuan's residence and the current deputy commander of the Imperial City's Embroidered Guard, Gu Qianfan, he was able to obtain the position of a hundred households.
In the end, Gu Qianfan finally revealed the purpose of this trip.
"Some trouble has appeared in Yangzhou. His Majesty might want to summon you.”
Gu Qianfan paused for a moment. Perhaps Jia Huan was one of them, so he spoke in a low voice.
"On the surface, we are going to thoroughly investigate Yangzhou's salt administration, but in secret, His Majesty wants us to go to Qiantang and check the night banquet map.”
Jia Huan's eyes flashed. Qiantang and Yangzhou were both in Jiangnan, so this was a secret trip.
Of course, the salt administration in Yangzhou had to be investigated. This time, the person sent was Gu Qianfan, and Gu Tingye was among them.
However, this matter was of great importance. It concerned the reputation of the Empress, and the salt policy was also important. Therefore, the Emperor would send Jia Huan to follow, but he needed to find a good reason, otherwise it would alert the enemy.
