"Mr. Gu! The Yi Mansion has already suffered an attack from the bandits, it's really too dangerous for you to stay there. Lord Prefect is swamped with official duties, tirelessly working for the people day and night, which is why he hasn't had a chance to welcome you properly. It's excusable given the circumstances. Both of you, who are concerned about the country and the people, make this old man feel deeply ashamed."
"How about I host, and invite Mr. Gu and Lord Liao to discuss the matter of the treasure map together. What do you think, gentlemen?"
Qu Huaiyun saw that Gu Chengyu had brushed aside Prefect Liao, whose face was now extremely awkward. Therefore, he spoke up to invite them, giving some face to Prefect Liao.
Gu Chengyu felt a surge of joy, as he had been pondering how to bring up the matter, but Qu Huaiyun's words were as if delivering a pillow to a sleeping person.
He hesitated for a moment, glanced around at the chaotic scene, and then agreed.
