The whip was completely black and was brushed to a shiny finish by the jailers.

The moment he pulled out his hand, Li Yuan pressed it down, his eyebrows showing disapproval. He looked calm and said to Zhan Ji:

"Meeting is fate. Please don't be violent towards Mr. Zhan again."

As he spoke, Gu Qingsheng watched Li Yuan stuff a very large silver ingot into the jailer's hand.

The jailer's expression suddenly changed, from anger to fear and finally joy.

He stuffed the silver into his arms without leaving any trace, and even said a few polite words to Li Yuan.

"Why are you so polite, Minister? This is what we should do."

I hit Zhan Lao's cage with the whip handle, and even Gu Qingsheng's cage was shaking.

"It's your blessing to be favored by the Minister. I don't know how many good deeds you did in your past life to meet such a kind-hearted person like the Minister. Just be content."

After saying this, he touched the silver in his arms and walked aside.

Li Yuan bowed to Mr. Zhan again

"Mr. Zhan, if you don't want to see it today, I will come to visit you later."

"Actually, I'm actually relieved that you didn't accept this envelope. I went to many places and asked many people, but they all rejected me outright."

"If you don't answer, it means there is still hope for my wife."

He put the bag away, but heard Master Zhan finally sneer.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. This world has its own way of exterminating people. I won't even look at your stuff."

"And you don't need to win me over here. We are all sensible people. I have seen many people like you who are full of lies."

Gu Qingsheng had his back to that side, but a knowing smile appeared on his face.

Even if Li Yuan lost his wife as he said, he wouldn't be in such a state.

Although he was not the Minister of War before, he was still a local official with a high rank.

Even if he lost his wife, his maids and concubines would take care of the daily affairs.

How could it be that now people can’t even tie a knot on their chest?

Li Yuan was dressed neatly, but his casual attire did not make him look like an official who was well served.

Therefore, this statement about losing his wife is a bit too radical.

However, Gu Qingsheng did not make it public.

Li Yuan finally straightened up completely in front of Master Zhan, no longer looking like he needed help from anyone.

There was a glint in his eyes, he raised his eyebrows, and looked at Mr. Zhan without saying a word.

"I'm quite old now, and I won't get involved in these things anymore. Or rather, someone has already tried to win me over before you."

He rolled his eyes, and Gu Qingsheng felt something was wrong. He only heard what Master Zhan said next.

"It's the girl next door! She comes from a wealthy family, much richer than you! So now I belong to her. If you want me to show you, you have to get her consent."

I was set up.

Perhaps it was Li Yuan's tireless nagging that made Mr. Zhan a little irritated, so he directly threw the blame to Gu Qingsheng.

Li Yuan's sight gradually turned over, and seeing Gu Qingsheng's somewhat embarrassed expression, he said hello.

"Hello, Mr. Minister."

But the man's eyes and brows brightened the first time he saw him. There seemed to be a huge wave in his bright eyes, which was blown far away by the wind and arrived in front of Gu Qingsheng.

The surprise in his eyes was hard to conceal, which made Gu Qingsheng a little curious. He stared at him for a while but his gaze was diverted.

"Who are you……"

Li Yuan smiled, hiding the obvious emotion in his eyes, and shook his head after asking this question.

"never mind."

Nodding at Gu Qingsheng, Li Yuan was no longer as calm as when he came. Instead, he turned and left. However, the last look he gave Gu Qingsheng was very frightening.

Looking at Li Yuan's back, Gu Qingsheng's eyes flashed.

Although he was fat, his posture was straight and his steps were very broad.

This scene made Gu Qingsheng inexplicably think of someone.

"Hey girl, what do you think he is..."

"Don't talk to me."

Gu Qingsheng glared at him and stopped talking.

…

"Prince, we are going to..."

In the fish pond in Lehman's yard, he stood with a tall figure, watching the fish in the pond scrambling for the fish food he threw.

The attendant reminded him, and he raised his eyebrows and clapped his hands.

"go."

As the two men walked to the gate, a voice begging for mercy was heard outside.

"General, you really can't go in! General! Our prince is not feeling well right now..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Next came the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Leiman opened the door!

The blade was placed right on the neck of the doorman. The doorman was still young and his legs were shaking uncontrollably. When he heard Leiman's voice, he burst into tears.

"Prince! Help, Prince!"

Leiman's eyes turned cold as he looked at Chu Zhiyao's red eyes.

"What does this mean, General?"

Chu Zhiyao dropped the knife in his hand and approached Leiman with a powerful aura and a cold look in his eyes as if he wanted to kill someone.

"What do you mean?! What's the point of you hiding from me?! Could it be that you really don't want the throne of the Western Region anymore?"

"Or, do you want me to help your idiot brother get to the top? Hmm?"

He hit the nail on the head. Leiman's head was covered with sweat. His eyes flashed and he suddenly smiled.

"General, what are you talking about? I've been detained by the Emperor these past two days, so I can't help you at all. Didn't I just want to send someone to notify you?"

He stepped aside to let Chu Zhiyao in, but the light in his eyes dimmed.

Chu Zhiyao had no other choice now. He did not say anything more to him, nor did he take any action. He just stared at him.

"I suspect I've been poisoned. Can you cure it?"

Lei Man calmed down and knew that Chu Zhiyao was so anxious because of this matter.

However, Gu Qingsheng's sudden action did catch Leiman off guard.

After sitting down, Leiman began to feel Chu Zhiyao's pulse. After a while, he nodded.

"It's true that I was poisoned."

As if there was hope, Chu Zhiyao's tone was very urgent.

"Then! To remove the poison..."

"Unfortunately, no."

Before he could finish, Leiman shook his head and shrugged helplessly.

"General, have you forgotten that all the Gu techniques I brought back from the Western Regions have been confiscated by the Jinchu Emperor?"

And all this was because of Ah Xing before.

However, even without the insect, Leiman's life recently has not been boring.

Su Huai is eloquent and proud, yet also distant from others, which arouses Leiman's strong desire to conquer her.

He naturally wouldn't say these words to Chu Zhiyao.

"General, you can also ask the Emperor for me. If my Gu worm comes back, there is still a possibility."
