Chapter 171 Shenma (1)
“How about we continue our conversation somewhere more suitable?”
An unexpected encounter, an invitation amidst chaotic circumstances.
Gu Yangji was deeply wary of Zhang Yiguo’s smile.
Chang’an, the very heart of Shaanxi.
The fact that Zhang Yiguo, the commander of its West Gate, had invited Gu Yangji carried the potential for significant repercussions.
Above all, this meeting was unlike any before.
Whereas Gu Yangji had always approached Jang Ilguk before, now he had come to him.
Considering the pride of an official, this was undoubtedly disguised as coincidence.
“A nice place, you say…”
Gu Yangji glanced sideways at Yu Jangmyeong and smiled.
“I’m afraid I have company with me. I’m sorry, but would it be alright to postpone this to another time?”
“Ah, Plum Blossom Dragon! You must be the great hero, Yu!”
Jang Il-guk immediately brightened and approached Yu Jang-myeong.
In contrast, Yu Jang-myeong’s face held a look of unease.
“Pleased to meet you. I am Yu Jang-myeong.”
“Hahaha! I’ve heard your fame, but this is our first meeting. If it’s not too much trouble, might I borrow Master Gu Yang for a moment?”
“Borrow him?”
Yu Zhangming’s uneasy expression vanished, replaced by a hardened look.
Seeing this, a crack appeared in Jang Il-guk’s gaze.
He seemed to think it wouldn’t be easy.
The experienced official’s prediction proved spot on.
“I don’t know what business Commander Jang has with my disciple, but we are currently traveling to Hogwangseong on behalf of our sect. We might be delayed, so I hope you can understand this time.”
