Chapter 1779

As soon as Shao Jianmin entered the banquet hall, all the officials rushed to greet him. Compared to him, Tang Xuance was much more lonely and deserted.

It stands to reason that in the past, the Tang family and the Shao family were comparable in power, and Tang Xuance's personal influence was no worse than Shao Jianmin's. This should not have happened.

Gu Chen glanced at Tang Xuance on the side with deep meaning. Tang Xuance's cheeks were tense and his eyes were serious about this situation, and he obviously sensed something.

Over there, Shao Jianmin and Baiguan walked and chatted, talking and laughing happily, and stopped suddenly when they passed by Tang Xuance's seat.

Tang Xuance looked up at the other party, but didn't intend to get up.

"Master Tang, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for many years. Although there are often differences in political opinions, they are all for the good of the country. Today's banquet is of great importance. Master Tang's Water Dance Army must do its best to protect it." Shao Jianmin Seemingly reminded with good intentions.

The eyes of all the officials surrounding him flickered for a moment, Shao Jianmin seemingly unintentionally mentioned the years of discord between him and Tang Xuance in his words, at such a critical point, it can be said to be meaningful.

Hearing this, Tang Xuance's cheeks tightened, and he took a deep look at Shao Jianmin. "As Master Shao said, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, and Master Shao knows Tang's temper. I also hope that Master Shao will be cautious in his words and deeds, and don't forget to be loyal to King Pei!"

He also meant something, and his words caused complex expressions on the faces of the surrounding officials, and some even hid shame in their eyes.

Shao Jianmin sneered, and turned to look at Gu Chen beside Tang Xuance. "Shao heard that the Tang family has not been peaceful recently. Why did Mr. Tang bring only one person with him, and he is still a stranger. Gu Xu, two enshrined?"

"This one is also enshrined by my Tang family, and his guard is enough." Tang Xuance replied.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Shao Jianmin looked at Gu Chen with a little curiosity, while Shao Jianwu next to him sneered. "Isn't that right? Didn't you say that this person is a friend of Young Master Tang last time? Why did he become an enshrinement to the Tang family in a blink of an eye?"

When Gu Chen first arrived in Peidu, Shao Jianwu met him, so he had an impression of him, especially the unique cross tattoo on his eyebrows, which always made him feel a little familiar.

"He is indeed Quanzi's friend, and he is also an enshrinement of my Tang family. Do you need to explain this clearly to the two of you?" Tang Xuance seemed to avoid introducing Gu Chen on purpose, and said coldly.

Seeing what he said, Shao Jianmin didn't intend to ask too deeply. It's just a priest, so what can it affect the overall situation?

"So that's the case, then this little brother has to protect Mr. Tang well, and don't let him get into trouble."

Shao Jianmin said to Gu Chen sarcastically, and without waiting for his response, he led a group of people away and sat down on the other side of the banquet hall.

"The current situation is so sensitive, but walking with wind and showing off your might, you seem to be confident." Gu Chen looked at the figure sitting opposite him, and suddenly chuckled.

His voice was only heard by Tang Xuance, who was the closest. Tang Xuance showed surprise and said in a low voice. "Chen Gongfeng also understands the current situation in Peidu?"

Gu Chen had been reticent before, and it was very difficult for Tang Xuance to chat with him a few more words to test him out, and he was always depressed.

Now that he took the initiative to bring up the current situation in Peidu, of course he couldn't let it go, so he naturally talked along.

"Know a thing or two."

Gu Chen glanced at the dignitaries who filled the banquet hall, "The second prince came aggressively, ruthlessly, determined to win, and disturbed Pei. Previously, before Shao Jianmin came, all the officials whispered to each other, all showing sorrow, but when he came, The ministers gathered around, as if they were trying to curry favor."

"In addition, Patriarch Tang has obviously received a cold reception, and Mr. Shao came to you again to show off his might. It is obvious that he has secretly taken refuge in that second prince."

"Think about it, too. Recently, there has been a bloodbath in Peidu. Most of the officials of King Pei's family have been killed. Even if those who can stay are not traitors, they are just scumbags."

"Patriarch Tang's cold reception right now shows your loyalty to Prince Pei."

Gu Chen seldom talked to Tang Xuance, but this time he said a lot, and hit the nail on the head, which made Tang Xuance's expression shocked.

"I didn't expect Chen Gongfeng to be so familiar with the situation in the court." Tang Xuance, who came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and looked at Gu Chen with a strange light in his eyes.

He had long speculated about the origin of this person's identity, but now he explained the situation in Peidu with a single word, which made his guess more certain.

"I'm not familiar with it, but I just inferred it from the conversation between Patriarch Tang and Shao Jianmin just now." Gu Chen explained flatly.

Just now, Tang Xuance asked Shao Jianmin not to forget to be loyal to King Pei. If he was not worried about the other party's conspiracy, how could he have said such a thing?

And Shao Jianmin reminded Tang Xuance to pay attention to safety, which also showed that he was well aware of the Tang family's situation and had the attitude of a winner.

Combining the two, a fool can guess that Shao Jianmin has probably succumbed to the current situation, and has become obedient to the second prince Wulie.

Of course, inferences are inferences, Gu Chen can tell the truth so accurately, it is more because he has obtained enough information from Wuwang Pavilion.

Tang Xuance didn't know whether Gu Chen was really just inferring, or if he had already grasped the specific situation, and said with a wry smile in a low voice: "The second prince also tried to recruit me, but I just rejected him. With Shao Jianmin's status, he can't If he is used by that person, he will be killed by that person. Looking at his behavior today, I am afraid that he was unfortunately hit by Chen Gongfeng's words. The second prince chose to come today, and he will definitely not return without success. The situation will be dangerous later Unpredictable, I have to trouble Chen Gongfeng to protect me and Prince Pei Zhouquan."

Now that the conversation was over, Tang Xuance pleaded sincerely, with the meaning of completely entrusting Gu Chen with his life.

"In such an important situation, Patriarch Tang trusts me so much?" Gu Chen's eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

The attitude of the Tang family when they invited him out of the mountain before was very interesting, but Tang Xuance already knew that today's banquet was dangerous, but he only brought him here alone. Such trust is really abnormal.

He has only been enshrined in the Tang family for a few days, so it stands to reason that Tang Xuance has no reason to take only himself with such an important guarding responsibility.

This is what puzzled him, wondering what kind of medicine Tang Xuance was selling in the gourd?

"Ming people don't speak secret words in front of people. Now that things have happened, I don't hide them anymore. I have already guessed about Chen Gongfeng's identity and where Luomen disappeared. I don't know whether Chen Gongfeng came here. What do you want to do, but I implore Chen Gongfeng to help King Pei survive the catastrophe."

"I know that people are soft-spoken, and I am not qualified to bargain with Chen Gongfeng. I can only put my life in Chen Gongfeng's hands. This life is not worth mentioning, but I ask Chen Gongfeng to believe it and help King Pei. As far as the power is concerned, the gains must be greater than the sacrifices!"

Gu Chen's hand holding the wine glass suddenly stopped, his pupils shrank, his expression became serious, and he looked at Tang Xuance seriously and unexpectedly!
