Immediately afterwards, a white carrier pigeon was seen flying out of the courtyard and heading towards Qinglong Mountain.
Almost simultaneously, the leader of Qinglong Mountain kicked Ling Tianen in the shoulder.
"Heh, Ling Tianen, General Ling, do you still remember me?"
Ling Tianen, still bound hand and foot, frowned in disbelief as he looked at the man in the leopard-print shirt and felt hat.
"You, you are Gu Yanwu?"
Gu Yanwu was the son of Gu Sicheng, who served as the Minister of Personnel.
Back then, the Minister of Personnel was exiled and his family was raided for buying and selling official positions and forming cliques. On his way, he encountered bandits, and everyone in the court thought that the Gu family had been killed by the bandits.
But to everyone's surprise, Gu Yanwu was still alive.
Gu Yanwu, stepping on Ling Tianen's chest, grinned maliciously through gritted teeth:
"Heh, it's a wonder you still remember me. If it weren't for your Ling family betraying me, would I, Gu Yanwu, be where I am today?"
Ling Tianen's expression changed from shock to anger.
"What does your Gu family's abuse of power have to do with my Ling family?"
"It has nothing to do with your Ling family? Back then, the Ling family colluded with the Prime Minister, attempting to eliminate everyone who sided with the Huo family."
"My father was murdered by the powerful minister, and the men of the Ling family were robbed and killed by bandits disguised as members of your Ling family's Black Army!"
Hearing this, Ling Tianen was completely dumbfounded.
Although he was a member of the Ling family, he truly knew nothing about what happened back then.
The reason he was captured by the bandits was that he deliberately let himself be captured, wanting to find out who the bandit leader was. Little did he know that he was their sworn enemy!
But he was also a good friend of General Huo.
He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Gu Yanwu, I know nothing about what you're talking about. Besides, I'm here on behalf of Princess Yue Zhao. Let me explain!"
"You're talking nonsense! You're a member of the Ling family, you think you'd fight for the Huo family army? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Ling Tianen is such a jerk.
"I have something to prove it. Let me go, and I'll show it to you!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanwu's expression stiffened, as if he was considering the veracity of his words.
Just then, a bandit rushed up and gave a sinister smile.
"Chief, he's like a fish on a chopping board now, he can't make a fuss. What's the point of letting him go?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanwu suddenly drew his broadsword and slashed the reins on his body with a whoosh.
Once freed from restraints, Ling Tianen struggled a few times and pointed to the package in the corner.
"Bring me my backpack, there's evidence inside."
A bandit obeyed and stepped forward, throwing the package at him.
Ling Tianen quickly unpacked the package and took out a tablet computer and a small bag of food.
He first threw the food to one of the soldiers, then quickly opened the tablet computer and pointed it at Gu Yanwu.
The tablet, which had been black, suddenly emitted a blinding light.
Everyone was terrified by this sudden turn of events and cried out in alarm:
"Aaaaaah, what, what is this thing? It's blinding me!"
"Sorcery! This guy knows sorcery! Chieftain, we've been tricked! Kill him!"
"Damn it, I knew this little bastard was up to no good. I'll chop him up with one blow!"
Gu Yanwu quickly raised his hand.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, a picture flashed on the tablet showing Qin Yue Zhao directing the Huo family army to distribute grain.
Gu Yanwu leaned closer in disbelief, his voice trembling:
"Yuezhao, is he Princess Yuezhao? Wasn't she killed by the Northern Barbarians?"
Why is she in this little box? What did you do to her?
