Chapter 686: Under Heaven



"Yes, he's dead. As far as I know, after he sold the golden bear skin to the royal family, the noble concubine developed a rash all over her body. She suspected that the golden bear skin was poisonous, so she ordered Uncle Su and all the people in his team to be shot."

"This is ridiculous, how can this be possible!" Gu Yunru was neither sitting nor standing. She wished she could go back to Persia. Although it was only a very small country, the people there were too rude and barbaric.

"What's even more ridiculous is that I don't know who leaked the news and led people to attack Tianshan Mountain." Xue'er thought of that horrific night when fires were raging on the snow-capped mountains. It was the first time she saw so many fires on the endless snow.

Hearing what Xue'er said, Gu Yunru was filled with emotion.

"Xue'er, I really didn't know that going to Tianshan would bring you so much trouble, but I swear I have never mentioned anything about Tianshan to anyone, except the people in Huajianlou..." Gu Yunru wanted to raise his hand and swear to her. Xue'er naturally knew that he had no reason to betray, but Uncle Su and his gang died in vain.

"What about Uncle Su?" Xue'er tried her best to suppress her anger. Gu Yunru was also confused. There were still many things that had not been clarified.

"Husband, please step aside for a moment. Miss Xue'er won't hurt me." If Xue'er really wanted to hurt her, she would have done it long ago, and there would be no need to wait until now. Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen's worried face and winked at him. He then slowly withdrew, leaving the space for the two of them.

"Xue'er, I guarantee this matter with my personal integrity! If you don't believe me, I'll implicate my husband as well. I really had no idea that this matter would come to this point today." Gu Yunru looked at her earnestly. Xue'er took a deep breath. Gu Yunru glanced around. She and Xuelang were not in a good situation now.

"How about this, to show your sincerity, you and Xuelang will stay here for a while." Gu Yunru thought that there would always be a day when the clouds would clear and the sun would shine, so why not wait until that day? When the truth is really revealed, Xue'er will naturally understand her good intentions.

Gu Yunru brought the snow wolf to the back room, reconnected its ribs, gave it Ma Fei San, and then applied some medicine on its wounds. "It needs to rest for about eight days before it can walk." Xue'er looked at the dying snow wolf lying on the straw mat, her heart aching as if it was being pulled. She stood up and looked at Gu Yunru and said, "This is our first time going down the mountain. I never knew that people in the outside world are so sinister. Every one of them wants to get the snow wolf. I really don't know what happened to the remaining snow wolves in Tianshan Mountain, or if they were captured by those people..."

Thinking of what happened on Mount Tianshan, Xue'er felt a sense of fear. It turned out that what the elders of the tribe said was right. Everyone outside was thinking about fame and fortune, and their eyes would turn red when they saw things that were beneficial to them. If they really wanted to travel in the world, it would be impossible to achieve their desired goals without learning some martial arts to protect themselves.

Thinking back to the elders in the tribe, Xue'er couldn't help but feel sad again. Gu Yunru held her small, scallion-like jade hand and said to her sincerely, "Xue'er, don't worry. After I finish dealing with the Gu man, I will definitely find out who attacked Tianshan. Don't worry, I will help you."

At this time, Rong Zhen had brought the people around him to catch the Gu man who had sneaked out. The Gu man had a dark circle under his eyes and looked like he had suffered mental torture. Gu Yunru had him tied to the bed, and then he started to move around him with a scalpel.

The general symptoms of a Gu person are aphasia and madness, and their facial expressions become extremely depressed, which is different from that of ordinary people. Rong Zhen was guarding the door, worried about Gu Yunru's safety inside. At this time, Xiang Ping came forward with a basket in his hand and smiled sweetly at him, "Brother, why are you guarding the door and not going in?"

"Ah... it's like this, my wife is in the house and wants to check on the Gu man. So she asked me to stand guard at the door. What delicious food have you made?" Xiang Ping raised the corner of his mouth, put the food in the food box on the stone table, and smiled at him gently: "I spent two days working on these things. This is mung bean cake, a very traditional summer food. The weather has been getting hotter recently. Eating more mung bean cake will help digestion."

Rong Zhen nodded and sat aside. The mung bean cake tasted very sweet, melted in the mouth, and had a long aftertaste. Thinking that Gu Yunru was still busy inside while he was eating alone, he put the cake back into the box.

Xiang Ping frowned in confusion, "Brother, I also prepared some cakes for Sister Gu. I made red bean cake and osmanthus cake for her. Don't worry, she will be able to eat them when she comes out."

Shu'er came over at this time, saw the happy scene here, and sat aside. "Such a small sweet-scented osmanthus cake, I have never seen such a delicate one on the market, what did you make it with?" Shu'er pinched a piece of light cake and put it into her mouth without saying a word.

Xiangping had a faint smile on his face. "This is made of glutinous rice flour, sugar and honey osmanthus. The osmanthus is the osmanthus that I have dried and treasured for a long time. It has a strong fragrance and a hint of fragrance. It is different from osmanthus cakes in other places.

The taste of this sweet-scented osmanthus cake will be richer." Shu'er nodded like pounding garlic, and looked at Rong Zhen who was silent beside her, "By the way, my husband has woken up now and wants to see you." Rong Zhen stood up and handed the place here to the two of them.

Xiang Ping looked at Shu Er's smug expression and congratulated her, "That's great. Master Ji has finally woken up. You don't have to stay by his side day and night."

"Yes, he is awake. After my husband woke up, I have been thinking how nice it would be if I could make a few cakes for him myself. Xiangping, why don't you teach me some easy-to-make cakes? Don't make them too complicated. I am too clumsy to learn anyway!"

"Of course there is no problem with that!" Xiang Ping took away all the remaining cakes, but forgot about Gu Yunru who was still guarding in the house. Gu Yunru was busy for a few incense sticks of time, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and saw that the poisoned man finally woke up, so he sat aside and watched quietly.
