That evening, Gu Shouxin and Madam Peng set off with their entourage.
There were 100 women in the army before, and with Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe, there are 102.
They split into eight teams and searched in eight directions.
Gu Xin also changed into a neat outfit and followed along.
Gu Shouxin originally didn't want Gu Xin to come along, but she insisted on going, saying that she had a very keen sense and might be able to find her sister.
Gu Shouxin hesitated for only a moment before instructing Bai Si and the other three to follow Gu Xin closely. He was also in Gu Xin's group, along with Gu Hui, Jinghe, the princess, and He Sanniang.
And so, the team searching for Gu Nian set off.
...
Gu Nian had now regained consciousness.
She felt weak and wanted to move around, but found she couldn't, and her mouth was also stuffed with a wad of cloth.
She was puzzled; who would kidnap her for no reason?
Torches were burning all around, but there was no one there; the scene was extremely eerie.
This was the first time she had felt afraid since she traveled through time.
A kidnapping without any reason, in an unfamiliar place, with no one in sight—she was probably kidnapped by a ghost.
As she thought about it, a hideous face silently appeared before her eyes. She was so frightened that she shrank back, but with her back against the wall, where could she go?
After calming down and seeing the shadow on the ground clearly, Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
If there's a shadow, then it's a person, a person wearing a mask.
She glared at the man. It was late at night, and he was really going to scare people to death.
The masked man found it amusing that she calmed down so quickly, so he sat down on the ground facing her.
"Gu Nian, the Second Miss Gu?" the masked man asked, his voice hoarse, making it difficult to tell whether it was his real voice or a fake one.
Gu Nian rolled her eyes. You've already kidnapped me here, and you're still trying to verify my identity?
"I heard that General Xue, who guards Linshan Town, is in love with Miss Gu Er?" the masked man chuckled and added.
Gu Nian was taken aback and looked at the masked man with suspicion.
Xue Qianyu's feelings for her are probably unknown to anyone outside the Gu family!
It's estimated that Xue Qianyu's parents don't even know.
Who is this person?
"Want to talk? But I'm afraid to talk to you! You're too smart, I'm afraid I'll fall into your trap! So, just listen to me. Let me tell you why I tied you up?" The masked man lifted Gu Nian's chin, looking regretful.
Gu Nian shook her head and shook off his hand.
The masked man, his hand empty, raised an eyebrow but didn't touch her again: "Tell me, if I use you to force him to withdraw his troops and his men from Linshan, would he agree?"
People from southern Xinjiang!
This was Gu Nian's first thought.
The masked man continued, "Actually, I'm doing this to help Miss Gu. Miss Gu's love life has been so bumpy, from the village blacksmith to the Empress's nephew. Miss Gu has been through so much, hasn't she? I bet she doesn't trust men anymore! So I'll help Miss Gu test whether General Xue Qianyu is truly worthy of her trust."
Gu Nian frowned.
Her mind was a bit of a mess. How did this person from Southern Xinjiang know about Xue Qianyu and her affair?
Also, how did you know she was going to the lab today? Or was she already waiting there?
Lu Zheng and Peng Lang's attack went very smoothly, so the people of Southern Xinjiang wanted to escape from Linshan to Kunzhou and directly attack the Peng family army's stronghold.
Suddenly, Gu Nian heard a rustling sound. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a snake that was extremely bright red.
With such a bright color, this stuff must be extremely poisonous!
Thankfully, she had the antidote pills that Xin Xin had given her.
