Peng Jiajun's men said they didn't know either, because they passed by the laboratory and saw a pool of blood at the entrance, and felt something was wrong, so they went in to check.
There were no signs of the room being overturned; only Bai Er was lying in a pool of blood.
Cai Xiaolian was so frightened that she could hardly stand.
Gu Xin quickly helped her up: "Mother!"
Gu Shouxin: "Don't worry, I'll go check on her. Mother, sister-in-law, you take care of Xiaolian."
Gu Shouxin was also somewhat worried about Gu Nian.
Gu Nian wasn't the type to act impulsively without thinking. He knew Bai Er's skills. There were no signs of a fight in the room, and Bai Er had an arrow in his heart, which meant that someone with superior skills to Bai Er had appeared and taken Gu Nian away.
Gu Nian is no match for Bai Er. Bai Er was hit, so what about Gu Nian?
Cai Xiaolian grabbed Gu Shouxin, her hands trembling slightly. How could she not have thought of what Gu Shouxin could think of? "Gu Shouxin, you must bring Niannian back."
Gu Shouxin patted her hand: "Okay, don't worry."
Gu Shouxin instructed Qian Liangduo and Huo Junhao to manage the affairs of the yamen, and then he rode out of the city alone.
He went to the laboratory and checked the situation inside.
On the surface, it was indeed as Peng Jiajun's men said, that there were no signs of a fight.
But upon closer inspection, one would notice that the corner was clearly different from the rest of the place. He mentally went through the process from Gu Nian entering the room to Bai Er collapsing, and then went to the window directly opposite the door.
There was a scratch on the window, so he jumped out.
Unfortunately, we can only confirm that the person walked towards the window, but we cannot determine which direction.
He rode back to the city and found the Peng family. He met General Peng at the gate and told him his idea: he wanted the Peng family to send some people out so he could take them to find Gu Nian.
General Peng refused.
The Peng family only had 100,000 troops guarding Kuncheng. They gave 20,000 to Xue Qianyu to go to Linshan, and Peng Sanlang and Lu Zheng took another 50,000 to Dingzhou.
Peng Jiajun still has 50,000 troops, each currently guarding their own posts, and cannot be fully deployed, as they also have to guard the five neighboring countries.
The five neighboring countries must know about the war between the Southern Frontier and the Great Zhou. If they send someone to look for Gu Nian now, Kun City might not be able to hold out if any of the five neighboring countries launch an attack.
General Peng was very sorry for this.
At this moment, Madam Peng appeared, indicating that she was willing to bring her 102 female soldiers to help find Gu Nian.
General Peng did not object, and Gu Shouxin thanked him.
Gu Shouxin went home first to check on Cai Xiaolian's condition.
Cai Xiaolian has calmed down. Her emotions were too volatile, so Grandma Xiao gave her acupuncture and put her to sleep.
Bai Er's situation is much worse. Grandma Xiao said he lost too much blood and is likely to develop a fever tonight. If he doesn't make it through, he'll probably die.
Bai Siliu and the other eighty-odd people remained silent. They had always thought that protecting the Gu family's daughter was an easy task, even in Kuncheng.
Now it seems that it's not easy at all, and there's even a possibility of losing one's life.
Upon meeting Gu Shouxin, the four proposed to follow him to find Gu Nian. Finding Gu Nian was one reason, but another was to kill the person who fired the arrow.
This is no ordinary long arrow, but a miniature short arrow with a poisoned arrowhead.
If Bai Er hadn't had a pill that Gu Xin had given him, he would have been dead long ago.
Gu Xin had made several kinds of pills before, and Bai Er and his brothers all had them. Gu Xin had even joked that if they got bitten by poisonous snakes next time they went into the mountains with her, these pills would be effective.
As a result, Bai Er was not bitten by the poisonous snake, but was shot by a poisoned arrow.
