"Where are they now?" Gu Lingze said this with gritted teeth and trembling all over.

"Xu, Li, Zhou, Wu, and the family of Qiu, the owner of Yunlai Restaurant, were all exiled to Xiping. They left yesterday."

Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo's heads both made a buzzing sound, as if they were struck by lightning.

"I stuffed some silver into the officers' pockets and told them to walk as slowly as possible. If you chase them now, you should be able to catch up in half a day."

The two turned around and ran outside. Gu Xiuyi bowed to Yao Zhengqing and thanked him, saying, "I'm grateful for your kindness. I'll visit you another day." Then he chased after him.

"Let's split up into two groups. I'll go find Jin Zi Ling Zi and Wu Rui, and you guys go after the exiled team."

After Gu Lingze finished speaking, he clasped his hands together, shrunk the ground into an inch, and disappeared right in front of the two of them.

Zhao Chengmo and Gu Xiuyi also pulled the reins and chased in the direction of Xiping.

Gu Lingze ran all the way to Donglin Village, where he grabbed a villager and asked him questions. Unexpectedly, the other party looked as if he had seen a ghost and could not speak clearly.

Gu Lingze shook the man off and ran towards the farm. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw Zhao Hongcai's wife.

Gu Lingze grabbed her by the front of her coat and said, "Where are the three children?"

Zhao Hongcai's wife screamed, and immediately other people came out of the room.

“Gu Lingze, you dare to come back, you don’t even look… um.”

Before Zhao Hongcai could finish his words, he was punched in the face and then grabbed by the neck and lifted up. "Where is he?"

Zhao Hongcai struggled desperately with his face turning purple. Zhao Hongwen hit him with a rake. Gu Lingze dodged and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying.

Gu Lingze knocked Zhao Hongcai to the ground with one hand. The man kicked his feet and fainted.

"I, I know. It's in the thatched house where you lived before!" Zhao Hongcai's wife said quickly, trembling. If she didn't speak up, Zhao Hongcai would probably die.

Gu Lingze exuded a murderous aura from head to toe. He rushed out of the door and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Hongcai's wife sat down on the ground, "Oh my god, I was so scared."

Zhao Chuantie came out from the door at this time, walked to Zhao Hongwen and pushed him, "What are you still standing there for? Go and report to the master!"

"Oh, oh oh."

As soon as Gu Lingze arrived outside the thatched hut, he saw a scene that made his throat tighten.

The three children were being surrounded and beaten by other children from the same village. Wu Rui protected Jinzi and Lingzi, holding them tightly without moving.

"My father said that there are prisoners in your family. You are the children of prisoners, little prisoners."

"That's right! My mother said so too!"

"Hehe, look at these three, they look like beggars..."

Gu Lingze kicked over the fence at the door and threw out a talisman paper. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and the children who were gathered in a group were blown all over the place and fell to the ground.

"Get out of here!"

More than a dozen children, big and small, were so scared that they ran out crying, leaving only three small figures huddled together.

Gu Lingze's eyes became hot and tears started to flow.

It was his fault, he came too late, and all those things he said about always protecting his younger brothers and sisters were bullshit.

His head was swollen and congested, and his legs were weak. Gu Lingze bent his knees and knelt on the ground, hugging the three children with trembling hands.

When Wu Rui was touched by him, his whole body trembled.

At this time, Lingzi, who was hiding at the bottom, shouted hoarsely, "Please stop hitting my brothers, please."

Gu Lingze closed his eyes tightly, his Adam's apple vibrating up and down, "Yes, brother, I am Brother Lingze, I am back."

Gu Lingze couldn't even say "I'm back to protect you". He didn't deserve to say that. He was just a bastard.

When Wu Rui heard this, his whole body trembled violently. After a long while, he raised his head slightly.

Gu Lingze looked into his eyes and tried hard to hold back her sobs. "It's me, Wu Rui. I'm back."

Two lines of tears flowed from Wu Rui's dark face, mixed with nosebleed and dripped from his chin onto Jinzi's hair.

"Brother Lingze... why did you come back so late?" After saying that, he fell straight backwards, and Gu Lingze hurriedly hugged him.

As soon as Gu Lingze caught him, he found that Wu Rui's whole body was burning hot. Gu Lingze hurriedly picked up Wu Rui and rushed into the room.

Pinching his cheek and stuffing a pill into his mouth, Gu Lingze undressed Wu Rui and looked around, but couldn't even find a quilt.

Fortunately, he lived here for a while and installed a wooden door, otherwise the situation would have been even worse.

At this time, Jinzi came in holding a quilt. It turned out that those people always snatched their quilts or spilled water on them, so they hid the quilts.

Lingzi also helped to fetch water, and Gu Lingze hurried to wash Wu Rui, but Wu Rui was too dirty, and just wiping would not solve the problem at all.

Gu Lingze could only wait for Wu Rui to wake up. Fortunately, it was just a cold. He would definitely get better after taking Gu Lingze's medicine.

Suddenly, there were bursts of shouting sounds outside the door. It turned out that the children had gone home to complain, and all the adults came.

Gu Lingze took out the Mo Shuang Sword directly from the secret realm and held it in his hand.

Gu Lingze simply opened the wooden door and walked out. The shouting outside suddenly stopped.

Where did this man come from? The villagers looked him up and down.

Such gorgeous clothes were something they had never seen before even in the capital city. They had clearly never seen anyone so good-looking, but they just had an indescribable sense of familiarity.

Gu Lingze's pale face and eyes flashed with coldness, "Shout, why don't you continue to shout?"

He curled his lips, his whole body filled with frightening coldness, "I'll count to three, all of you get out, otherwise..." He narrowed his eyes, with only bottomless darkness in them, "Who is killing who?"

After hearing this, many villagers were frightened and retreated away from the door, simply because Gu Lingze's aura was too terrifying.

"How dare you kill someone!" A woman refused to believe in evil and shouted, "Just try killing one."

"It's just a few fights between girls and boys, do you still want to eat them?"

Before she could finish her words, Gu Lingze's sword was placed on her neck. The blade had already cut her skin and blood was flowing down.

"One." Almost all the villagers retreated.

"two."

As soon as the second sentence came out, only Gu Lingze and the woman who had been shouting were left outside the hut.

The woman's crotch felt hot and a fishy liquid flowed down her trouser legs to her feet.

Gu Lingze put away his sword and kicked the woman in the chest.

"roll."

The woman ran out tumbling and crawling, not daring to even breathe.
