"Yes," Young Master Gu nodded and admitted to Young Master Hua, "If I hadn't known in advance, I wouldn't have been able to get there so quickly. This group of guards were hiding in a house on the front street. In order not to attract the attention of these criminals, they entered in batches in disguise."
"You..." Hua Chunlin couldn't control his emotions for a moment.
Young Master Gu said, "These people were slow to act, so I withdrew all the troops except for this house. I underestimated the ability of these thugs. I'm sorry."
"Sorry?" There was no anger in Hua Chunlin's voice. Young Master Hua looked at Young Master Gu and said, "What's the point of saying sorry if someone is dead? Why didn't you tell me in advance? If I had known in advance, I could at least have sent more guards to the mansion."
"The emperor values your life and the lives of the princess the most," said Young Master Gu in a low voice, "If they want your life and the lives of the princess, then these murderers must kill me first."
Yu Xiaoxiao said to the guards of Hua Mansion in the house: "My elder brother is such a man!"
Young Master Gu led his guards into the Hua Mansion. This was something that all the guards at the Hua Mansion saw with their own eyes, so the guards had no objection to Yu Xiaoxiao's praise of Young Master Gu.
Hua Chunlin and the guards were in completely opposite moods. To Young Master Hua, Gu Xingnuo's words told him two things. First, the emperor knew about this, which meant that the emperor agreed to it. Second, even if it was concealed in advance, Gu Xingnuo had arrived with his troops and did not disregard their lives.
"Besides," Gu Xingnuo continued to say to Hua Chunlin, "Where are you going to get the guards from? Are you going to borrow from your close friends? How can we let too many people know about this secret operation?"
This time, Hua Chunlin was left speechless by Gu Xingnuo.
"If you feel bad, you can ask the Imperial Master to perform a ritual to help them attain salvation," Young Master Gu said, "I will go to the coffin and kowtow to them to admit my fault."
Yu Xiaoxiao asked the guards in the room: "Is it wrong to be unable to fight?"
Guards... please stop making trouble! Now, apart from Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents and Teacher, who else can make Prime Minister Gu kneel down and kowtow?
Hua Chunlin smiled at Gu Xingnuo and said, "After giving up martial arts and embracing literature, your eloquence has become even more powerful."
"I'll go and ask the Imperial Master for help," Gu Xingnuo said, "I'll definitely be there on the day when the Imperial Master performs a ritual to help them attain salvation."
Hua Chunlin shook his head and said, "No need, they don't deserve it."
Yu Xiaoxiao said in the room: "Uncle, are you saying that we don't need to ask the national master to perform a salvation for them, or that my eldest brother doesn't need to kowtow? Please explain it more clearly."
Mr. Hua, why is Her Royal Highness the Princess involved in everything?
Yu Xiao: "Uncle, if salvation is good for them, you can let the Imperial Master do it. He has nothing to do anyway."
Hey guys..., is it really okay for you to say this about Master Chengguan?
"Princess," at this time, Young Master Gu had to turn his head to look at the closed door and said, "How are the guards' injuries?"
Yu Xiao: "The bleeding has stopped. I'm waiting for Xiao Zhuang to bring the medicine. If I had known he wouldn't come by now, I would have gone there myself."
Gu Xinglang glanced at Hua Chunlin, turned around and pushed the door open to enter the house.
Yu Xiaoxiao threw the bloody cloth in her hand onto the ground. Seeing Gu Xinglang coming into the room, she asked, "Is Xiaozhuang here?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head.
"Oh!" Yu Xiaoxiao sighed.
One of the guards said boldly, "Princess, even if you fly, you can't run from the Prince Consort's Mansion to the Hua Mansion so quickly, right?"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the guard and said, "Forget it, I won't tell you that I can say this."
This little guard... then please don't say anything!
Gu Xinglang whispered, "You can't compare Xiaozhuang with you. Wait a little longer. He's coming soon."
Yu Xiao: "I'm just worried that he might run into trouble on the road."
Gu Xinglang said: "Things have gotten so serious tonight, even if there are still criminals hiding in the city, they will not come out tonight."
Yu Xiao: "Is this a big deal? That's right, there's blood flowing like a river again!"
Gu Xinglang said: "People from the Military Affairs Department have arrived outside. This street has been cordoned off."
Yu Xiaoxiao muttered softly: "You came a step early."
The guards of the Hua Mansion were collectively silent, as if if Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't come, no matter how many people came, they would all be dead!
Half an hour later, Xiaozhuang came carrying the medicine box. Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang were busy in the room again. Under Yu Xiaoxiao's guidance, Young Master Gu has become very skilled in giving injections.
Gu Xingnuo and Hua Chunlin walked up to the three captives. Young Master Gu looked at them and said, "It's been an hour. What do you think?"
The three captives bowed their heads and said nothing.
Yu Xiaoxiao was doing a penicillin skin test on the chief guard in the room, and she shouted, "If you don't tell me, I'll skin you alive. I'm short of several human skins!"
Mr. Gu..., he and this person really had no prior appointment.
When the three captives heard Yu Xiaoxiao's words, they trembled.
Young Master Gu whispered, "Have you thought it through?"
The frightened prisoner said, "I don't know where the others are."
Young Master Gu said, "Then what do you know?"
"Shut up!" The captive kneeling in the middle yelled at his cowardly companion. If they betrayed the Temple of Eternal Life, what would they face? This bastard was afraid of being skinned by Yu Linglong, but wasn't he afraid of being turned into a monster by Mo Wen?
Young Master Gu pointed at the prisoner and ordered the guards, "Drag him away and let the princess take him back later."
Two guards dragged him aside.
"Think it over carefully!" The prisoner shouted at his two companions while being dragged.
Gu Dashao said: "His tongue is useless."
Gu Lin ran up, took a dagger and cut off half of the prisoner's tongue, then sprinkled hemostatic powder on the wound to prevent the man from dying.
Young Master Gu pointed at the prisoner who spoke first and said, "Just tell me what you know."
The prisoner looked down at the ground.
Gu Lin threw the half tongue in his hand in front of the prisoner.
The prisoner's body trembled again.
"I'll ask you one last time," said Master Gu, "Are you going to tell me or not?"
"I said, Princess, can you save my life?" The prisoner looked up at Master Gu and said.
Yu Xiaoxiao said one word in the room: "Yes!"
Young Master Gu looked at the prisoner and smiled: "Can you speak now?"
"Yes, there is a man," the prisoner whispered, "whom our superiors asked us to bring to Fengjing."
Young Master Gu said, "Who is it?"
"I don't know," the prisoner said, "He can't speak, and his hands can't move. Our superiors ordered us to throw his head in front of the imperial palace gate when we finish our mission and leave Fengjing."
Gu Xingnuo and Hua Chunlin looked at each other and asked what they were trying to do.
