Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang walked in. After Xiao Wei had cleaned up the house for Gu Xinglang, the brothers Xiaozhuang and Xiao Wei, who were in charge of guarding the people in the village, came hurriedly.
"Prince Consort?" Xiaozhuang called out to Gu Xinglang and pushed the door open and entered the house.
Gu Xinglang just changed his pants at this time, and had not yet put on his shirt. Yu Xiaoxiao sat beside him, breaking off pieces of the cold steamed buns, throwing them into a bowl of hot water, preparing to soak them and eat them.
Xiao Wei took a look at Gu Xinglang's naked upper body. There were many scars, but no new wounds.
Xiao Zhuang also stared at Gu Xinglang and asked anxiously, "Prince Consort, are the people from the Eternal Life Temple and the leader of this village dead?"
Because the leader had spoken, the pirates did not tell the details of what had happened in the stone house, but only said that everyone imprisoned in the stone house was dead. It was unclear what had happened, which made Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei nervous.
Before Gu Xinglang could think of what to say, Yu Xiaoxiao said, "Yes, those two monks from the Eternal Life Temple wanted to capture Xiao Gu, so Xiao Gu killed them."
Xiao Wei said, "Aren't they injured and chained?"
Gu Xinglang said: "They are pretending."
Xiao Zhuang asked: "What do they want?"
Xiao Wei looked at Gu Xinglang and said, "Do you want to capture you, the Prince Consort, without alerting us?"
Xiao Wei’s reputation as a reliable boy is not for nothing. He hit the nail on the head with just one sentence, and Gu Xinglang nodded.
Xiao Wei said: "What about the chief and the others?" The people in the Temple of Eternal Life asked for their own death, and so did the chief and the people in charge of the nine villages?
Gu Xinglang said, "They are the same as the Eternal Life Temple, I didn't spare their lives." Gu Xinglang himself couldn't explain why he beheaded them. He killed people if he wanted to, but can this be used as an excuse? Obviously not.
Yu Xiaoxiao broke both steamed buns and stirred them in a bowl with chopsticks, hoping that the buns would be soaked quickly.
Gu Xinglang put on his shirt and casually tied a belt around his waist.
Xiao Wei lowered his head to take a look at Gu Xinglang's changed clothes on the ground. The bloody smell in the room came from this pile of clothes. Xiao Wei wondered, with Gu Xinglang's ability, would he get so much blood on his hands when killing someone?
After changing his clothes, Gu Xinglang sat next to Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiao: "Xiao Gu, you really don't want to take a bath?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head. He had just stood in the rain and had already washed himself clean.
Xiao Wei said, "Princess, why are you back?"
Yu Xiao: "Come back and get some medicine. I don't have enough with me."
After taking a bite of the steamed bun soaked in hot water, Yu Xiaoxiao said that the feeling of having food in the stomach and having no food in the stomach are really like heaven and earth.
Gu Xinglang said: "My eldest brother was seriously injured?"
Yu Xiao: "Brother was taken away."
Gu Xinglang almost jumped up from his seat, knocking the chair behind him to the ground.
Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei looked at each other, both with anxious expressions on their faces.
Gu Xinglang put his hands on the wooden table. He originally thought that his elder brother was just injured. With Yu Xiaoxiao around, Gu Xinglang thought that his elder brother would be fine. Now this daughter-in-law told him that his elder brother was arrested? Gu Xinglang's mind was buzzing and became a mess again.
"Then, who was injured?" Xiao Wei asked Yu Xiaoxiao.
After Yu Xiaoxiao took two bites, half of the steamed bun in the bowl was gone.
"Princess!" Xiaozhuang shouted to Yu Xiaoxiao anxiously.
"Xiao Dongzi and Xiao Shanzi were injured," Yu Xiao said, "Xiao Senzi is with big brother, they must still be alive."
Gu Xinglang asked in a trembling voice: "Are you sure?"
"Of course," Yu Xiao said, "If those people wanted to kill Big Brother, then Big Brother should lie down with Xiao Dongzi and Xiao Shanzi."
Xiao Wei came over, helped Gu Xinglang to lift up his chair, and said to him, "Prince Consort, please sit down and talk."
Gu Xinglang fell back into his chair and whispered, "The monk from the Eternal Life Temple told me that my elder brother and I shouldn't have come to Miaodi."
When Xiaozhuang heard this, he felt that it was all over. Mo Wen knew that Young Master Gu was in Miaodi.
Jiang Zhuojun knocked on the door and called out, "Princess, Qinghui?"
Xiao Zhuang looked at his two masters, ran to the door and opened it for Jiang Zhuojun, saying, "General Xiao Jiang, please come in."
Jiang Zhuojun hurried back to his room, changed his clothes and rushed over. His hair was still wet and dripping with water.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked up at Jiang Zhuojun, threw a towel beside her to Jiang Zhuojun, and said, "Wipe your hair."
Jiang Zhuojun took the towel and pressed it on his head a few times. Even if it was wiped, he looked at Gu Xinglang who looked pale and asked with concern: "Qinghui, are you okay?"
Xiao Zhuang said, "General Xiao Jiang, my eldest master has been arrested."
Jiang Zhuojun stood there in a daze.
Xiaozhuang asked Yu Xiaoxiao again: "Princess, what should we do now?"
Yu Xiaoxiao finished a bowl of steamed buns, reached out and patted Gu Xinglang's hand on the table, and said: "As long as big brother is alive, we can rescue him. Xiao Gu, don't worry, big brother must still be alive."
Gu Xinglang looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and forced a smile.
Jiang Zhuojun walked to the table and asked, "Who arrested Brother Gu?"
Xiao Zhuang also ran over and said, "Is that Mo Wen?"
Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Not necessarily. Maybe it's someone in the Miao field?"
Jiang Zhuojun asked, "Who do you suspect?"
Yu Xiao: "Anyway, they are not from Chiyan Village."
Jiang Zhuojun... Is there any need to say this? Young Master Gu must not be in the village.
Gu Xinglang said: "Those two monks are waiting here to catch me."
"Mo Wen knows we're here," Yu Xiao said, "but I still think that Big Brother may not be in his hands."
Jiang Zhuojun asked: "How do you know?"
Yu Xiao: "Xiao Jiang, put yourself in my shoes."
"Change what?" Jiang Zhuojun was in pain again. Why was speaking so tiring?
Yu Xiaoxiao poured another bowl of hot water, pushed the bowl and the steamed buns in front of Gu Xinglang, asked Gu Xinglang to help her break the buns, and then analyzed with the four people in front of him: "If the eldest brother was in Mo Wen's hands, would Mo Wen still let the two men wait here and pretend to be dead to catch Xiao Gu?"
Jiang Zhuojun dragged a chair over and sat down. Yu Xiaoxiao's words made him think.
Xiao Zhuang said, "What would Mo Wen do?"
Yu Xiao: "He pushed my eldest brother in front of us and put a knife to his neck. What did he say when we didn't listen to him?"
Xiao Zhuang said, "The princess is here. She can save the young master."
Yu Xiaoxiao thought about it and said, "Okay, this won't bother me, but what if he wants to pour some poison into Big Brother's mouth? Have you forgotten his medicine man?"
Gu Xinglang had a headache. Young Master Gu was confused. Should he be happy or cry? If his elder brother was not in Mo Wen's hands, then in whose hands would he be?
