Although after a long journey, Li Shimin appeared somewhat disheveled, the resemblance between his brows and those of Li Yuan was still clearly discernible.
"Second son of the Li Clan, Shimin pays respects to Lord Gu!"
Li Shimin was evidently well-prepared, for the moment he saw Gu Yu, he seriously bowed to him.
"I've met the young lord."
Gu Yu returned the courtesy solemnly, then gestured for them to enter, leading them inside.
Everything within the Gu Mansion bore the marks of time.
Li Shimin had been casual throughout the journey, but upon stepping into the Gu Mansion, he suddenly felt a bit nervous.
Gu Yu did not display any particular attitude.
He treated him with the appropriate rites as he would with other lords, even though he had already guessed Li Shimin's purpose, he never mentioned it from start to finish.
He was indeed a bit surprised, not expecting Li Shimin to have the audacity to come to Julu.
But it wasn't enough to make a decision based just on that.
