"Ziyu, do as Shangjiao said." Gong Hongyu stood up and continued, "I'm tired, I'll go back and rest first. Ziyu, you mustn't slack off."
Gong Hongyu was truly exasperated by his foolish son. He didn't have many years left to live anyway, and he didn't want to die of anger before his time was up. Who wouldn't want to live a few more years? He had originally planned for the entire Gong family to focus on the Wufeng matter during this period.
When Wu Feng is defeated, he can then seek Yuan Zheng's help to prolong his life. If that fails, then it's God's will to take him away. People always have the desire to continue living before they die.
After Gong Hongyu left, Gong Shangjiao continued explaining his plan, "Ziyu, on the Lantern Festival, you will secretly lead those two out through the secret passage. Shangguan Qian's identity at the palace gate will be Gong Huanyu's bride."
Be mindful of your words and actions; do not make the slightest mistake!
"Have Jin Mu go out with you. He can protect you. After those two leave, pretend to be searching everywhere. Remember, don't separate from Jin Mu!"
Although Jin Mu's martial arts skills are not as good as Jin Fan's, he can protect Gong Ziyu alone without any problem. He will ask Jin Mu to take Gong Ziyu away from the vicinity of Wan Hua Lou, which will also ensure Gong Ziyu's safety.
"Okay," Gong Ziyu replied with difficulty. Even if he had a thousand or ten thousand reasons not to, it was impossible for him to refuse now. Looking at the way Gong Yuanzheng was hiding behind Gong Shangjiao and staring intently at him, it was as if he was saying, "If you don't agree, don't even think about leaving here alive today."
This isn't a discussion, this is an order!
———?.°??·??·??? ?°. ?————
Time flies, and the Lantern Festival has arrived. Yesterday, for convenience, Shangguan Qian and Yun Weishan were arranged to stay at the Feather Palace. When Gong Ziyu saw Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian, he felt quite uncomfortable.
When the bride entered the palace, the first person he noticed in the dungeon was not Yun Weishan but Shangguan Qian. At that time, seeing her crying with tears streaming down her face, how could one not feel pity? Later, he met the clever Yun Weishan, who was exactly what he liked.
What horrified him was that the two brides he was interested in were both assassins sent by Wu Feng!
"Let's go, it's getting dark, now's a good time to go out," Gong Ziyu said to the two people sitting on either side of the stone table in the courtyard.
Shangguan Qian stood up first, followed closely by Yun Weishan. After passing Gong Ziyu, Shangguan Qian frowned slightly, then turned around and said gently to Gong Ziyu, "Young Master Yu, why aren't you leaving yet? We don't know the way."
Her voice was perfectly controlled; compared to Gong Zishang's affected and pretentious tone, her words sounded more genuine, as if they were born that way. However, Gong Ziyu wouldn't be fooled by her now.
Before he knew she was the Unsharp Assassin, he might have smiled with pity, but now, he was sorry, Feng Xin.
Jin Mu stood quietly to the side without saying a word. He kept the young master's words in mind. When the two people disappeared, he would pull Gong Ziyu away and run far away. He couldn't let his father wander around and affect the young master's plans.
Gong Ziyu, accompanied by Shangguan Qian and Yun Weishan, and followed by Jin Mu, stealthily entered the secret passage. Dozens of people following them waited outside for nearly half an hour, confirming that they should have reached the valley by now, before sealing the passage shut.
Following the young master's orders, only the first half of the secret passage was sealed off. Even if Wu Feng were to discover this passage, upon entering, they would only find it completely blocked by stones, so that not even a mosquito could fly out.
Just thinking about their expressions back then makes me incredibly happy.
Gong Ziyu, who was walking ahead, had no idea that the secret passage had been sealed off the moment he left; it turned out that they were waiting for him there.
Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao knelt before the table, quietly waiting for Gong Ziyu to arrive in the valley.
