Chapter 29 Why is Guard Qi so confused?
Eunuch Ran couldn't help but shed tears as he looked at the familiar wooden boxes. Now hearing what Gu Yuzhi said, he hurriedly wiped away his tears: "I will count the boxes with Xie Changshi right now."

After all the boxes were carried in, Eunuch Ran fell a few steps behind and approached Qi Chenglang and whispered: "Chief Guard Qi, where are the guards who escorted the imperial bounty?"

Qi Chenglang shook his head: "I'm sorry, I searched the whole mountain and couldn't find anyone."

Eunuch Ran's face turned pale, his legs were extremely weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

So many of the Emperor's highly skilled bodyguards were gone, and he was the only one left who had no strength to restrain a chicken. How would he explain to everyone when he returned?
The more Eunuch Ran thought about it, the more frightened he became. He wished he had been captured by the bandits together.

Qi Chenglang picked up Eunuch Ran. Seeing him like this, he understood. He sighed and said, "Eunuch Ran, please don't think nonsense. You must know that it is because you are still alive that we have found the things that belong to His Highness. . Your Highness will definitely report this matter to the Emperor truthfully, so please relax."

Eunuch Ran was completely helpless at this time. When Qi Chenglang said this, he just nodded and was supported by him to move forward. His survival instinct made him put all his hopes on Gu Yuzhi.

If His Highness can help him escape from death this time, he will definitely try his best to help His Highness in the future.

In the main courtyard, boxes were placed all over the floor. The guards opened the boxes one by one, and golden light poured out instantly. Gu Yuzhi subconsciously closed his eyes, and then felt something was wrong. He tilted his head and looked at the boxes of silver behind him: "Xie Changshi , I remember that Eunuch Ran didn’t say that there was a silver reward before.”

Xie Changshi couldn't stop smiling. He squatted down and explained to Gu Yuzhi: "These should be things that the bandits robbed before. They were not transported away in time, but now they are in His Highness's pocket."

Chen Dianyi also had a smile on his face: "Your Highness, Xie Changshi, I just counted, one box is 1000 taels, these seven boxes are 7000 taels of silver."

Did Gu Yu know how much silver these boxes were worth before? When Chen Dianyi said this, he immediately thought of the money they spent renting the house and calculated: "We rent the house for 700 taels a year, 7000 taels is... His eyes grew brighter as he counted, "Ten years!"

Wow, thinking about it this way, he won’t have to worry about rent anymore!

Gu Yuzhi straightened his back, feeling that he was now a rich man.

Xie Changshi nodded: "Your Highness' calculation is really right." He stood up and nodded to Eunuch Ran, "Eunuch Ran, don't worry about these extra things for now, just take the list and check it, so that I can start warehousing it."

Xie Changshi and Eunuch Ran reviewed the list, while Gu Yuzhi looked at it here and there with great interest, showing an uncontrollable love for these things in his eyes.

You must know that before today, he was still a poor prince who could only receive two months' salary and monthly money. To paraphrase Teacher Shu, from today on, he will turn over and sing!

Chen Dianyi looked at Gu Yuzhi smiling and shook his head, and whispered to Qi Chenglang: "Eunuch Ran should be going back after the handover here. The guards are all gone. How can Eunuch Ran return to Beijing?"

Qi Chenglang thought for a while: "Maybe Xie Changshi will find him an escort?" He shrugged, "Eunuch Ran has helped His Highness a lot this time. I would like to escort Eunuch Ran back, but our identity is not It’s allowed.”

As the prince's chief of bodyguards, it was a royal taboo to enter the capital without being summoned.

Chen Dianyi nodded and said, "That's right."

The voices of the two of them were very low, but it did not prevent Gu Yuzhi from hearing him. He asked Wen Xiuzhu silently: "Shopkeeper Wen, what is the Escort Agency? Why do you ask someone from the Escort Agency to escort Eunuch Ran back?"

"The escort agency is..." Wen Xiuzhu suddenly changed his expression and turned to look at Shu Xiaohan.

Shu Xiaohan was admiring these jewelry at the moment. She had only seen the exquisite workmanship of these jewelry when she was in the museum.

There are a lot of jade and filigree enamel items for sale on modern Taobao, but they really can’t compare with the craftsmanship of these jewelry.She shook her head slightly. Sure enough, her ancestors' aesthetics were extraordinary.

Sensing Wen Xiuzhu's gaze, Shu Xiaohan, the subway man, looked at his phone and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't say a word."

Wen Xiuzhu smiled and said: "No, no. I just remembered a word from Teacher Shu, make the best use of everything."

The restaurant matter has been put on hold for the time being, but the escort agency matter can be taken action immediately.

The Chief of Guards Qi was highly skilled in martial arts and could not be satisfied with protecting His Highness's safety in the palace. Therefore, he believed that there was a high possibility that Chief of Guards Qi would agree to the idea of ​​opening an escort agency.

Shopkeeper Wen was about to explain when he saw Xue Ye running happily towards Gu Yuzhi after training. He had only been here for more than ten days, and he had obviously grown a lot.

As soon as Gu Yuzhi saw it, he forgot about the matter of the escort agency. He hugged Xue Ye and kissed him: "Xue Ye, have you finished training? Are you hungry?"

He rubbed his stomach and whispered: "I'm hungry too. Aunt Xu should have prepared a meal. Let's go eat."

After eating, he would take a rest and take martial arts classes in the afternoon.

Xie Changshi said that after he finished studying the three enlightenment books, he would start learning the six arts, namely etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.

What he didn't tell Xie Changshi was that he was already secretly learning arithmetic from Shopkeeper Wen.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuzhi felt that he was pressed for time, so he picked up Xue Ye and walked to the main room.

Qi Chenglang stopped him with a smile: "Your Highness, I was able to bring back the things and the bandits unscathed this time, thanks to Uncle Wolf."

Gu Yuzhi blinked: "Who is Uncle Lang?" He pointed at Xue Ye, "Is he Xue Ye's uncle?"

"No, it's Xue Ye's mother." Qi Chenglang's smile became even stronger, "When we arrived, Xue Ye's mother had already injured many bandits, and it was also she who guided us to find the treasure cave in the village."

Otherwise, no matter how hard they think, they will never imagine that there is a road under the cliff and the treasure is hidden in the middle of the mountain.

Gu Yuzhi just said "Oh", scratched his head and said in confusion: "But Guard Qi, shouldn't Xue Ye's mother be the wolf mother? Why do you call her Uncle Wolf?"

He puffed up his face and thought to himself why Guard Qi was so confused. His mother and uncle were different.

Qi Chenglang trembled all over, and suddenly remembered the roar that Uncle Wolf made before leaving, and suddenly understood that Uncle Wolf was angry because of this.

He snarled, bent down and looked at Xue Ye: "I'm sorry, Xue Ye, next time I see your mother, I will definitely not call you Uncle Wolf again."

Xue Ye howled, her delicate voice completely different from the mother wolf's, but the contempt in the eyes of the two wolves was the same.
