Chapter 311 I Can't Come Back

Chapter 311 I Can't Come Back

Everyone in the capital was talking about Huiyuan's disappearance.

Everyone felt sorry and sad. He had won five top prizes in a row and was just one step away from the palace examination, but then he went missing.

"Damn the Huns!"

"Yes, it's unfortunate that he shows up at this time. Our top scorer in the Sixth Prize must come back!"

Everyone prayed for Gu Zilu's safety. Even the emperor sent people out of the city to look for him. Gu Suiyu's in-laws and the Grand Princess's Mansion also sent people. Gu Zilu's classmates and friends at school all ran around for him. Everyone wanted to find Gu Zixuan as soon as possible.

On the contrary, there had been no movement in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. Gu Changqing was gone, Zou was seriously ill, and there was no one in the family who could speak, so this matter was forgotten.

After the Huns left, the capital began to be rebuilt.

Merchants were counting their losses and every household was busy.

Gu Suiyu was holding back her sadness while managing the shop. As soon as Yin Zhengnan came back, she came to look for her, but unfortunately, Gu Suiyu burst into tears as soon as she spoke. Yin Zhengnan gritted his teeth and finally stood up and said, "I'll go look for Brother Lu. If I can't find him, I won't come to see you!"

Having said that, the man left.

When old customers who came to buy things saw this scene, they all said that the young master of the Grand Princess's Mansion was a loyal person, and Sui Yu was really blessed.

However, Gu Sui Yu couldn't hear any of these words. The only person she was worried about now was her fifth brother.

And soon, the palace examination will be here.

The palace examination was held more than a month later than the metropolitan examination, and Gu Zilu still hadn't returned. Zhao Jingcheng even began to discuss with Prince Rui, suggesting that the palace examination be postponed.

"Brother, I'll go look for it too!"

Zhao Jingyu was also worried.

Even though Su Jin rejected him, Gu Zilu was indeed a good boy, and even he couldn't bear it. Knowing that more than a month had passed and the chance of survival was slim, Zhao Jingyu still wanted to give it a try.

"I will go with you."

Xie Huaiguang put down the memorial in his hand and looked over.

Seeing that both of them were so sad about Gu Zilu, the emperor agreed: "Yes, but, we will find him on the day when the palace examination begins. If we can't find him again, we will stop looking for him."

Zhao Jingyu and Xie Huaiguang both felt a jolt in their hearts. After a month had passed, the emperor must have realized that the person might not be found.

Although they wanted to argue, he was the emperor. Xie Huaiguang and Zhao Jingyu looked at each other and could only bow their heads in agreement.

After leaving the imperial study, Xie Huaiguang said, "Wherever the prince wants to look for it, it would be better if we separate."

Zhao Jingyu also knew Xie Huaiguang's ability, so he said, "I heard from Sui Yu that Brother Lu went out with Mr. Zhuzhi, and they went to the mountains to play. The Huns came on a flat road. If they bumped into them, both of them would have died. If they didn't bump into them..." Zhao Jingyu paused and said, "Since Mr. Zhuzhi hasn't come back, it proves that Brother Lu must still be alive."

Xie Huaiguang nodded. He thought so too. After all, the probability of both of them being gone was really small.

"Then I'll go to Xishan."

"Well, I'm going to Dongshan, using the capital as the boundary, and searching the area within a hundred miles around it."

The two of them discussed it and left in a hurry. When passing by Su Jin's yard, Zhao Jingyu reined in his horse and looked, only to see that the door of the mansion was closed.

He guessed that Su Jin must be very worried and sad. He couldn't do anything by visiting her, and it would only cause Su Jin to be criticized. It would be better for him to make a good effort and find a way to recruit Gu Zilu.

Thinking of this, he left in a hurry without stopping.

After he left, Xie Huaiguang also passed by. He glanced at the closed door and said nothing.

Su Jin gave the cat that he had given her to Prince Rui.

Xie Huaiguang knew why Su Jin gave the cat as a gift. It was just because Prince Rui used the cat to send something to her, so she just gave the cat to him.

That was the cat he gave her, but she gave it away.

But Xie Huaiguang was not angry. He even wanted to applaud. He said Su Jin was smart and did a great job.

If Su Jin likes it, Lion Cat has plenty of them, so he can just give them to her.

While he was thinking about it, people had already ridden out of the city to look for him in the West Hill.

Every inch of the outside had been searched by Gu Zixuan and Yin Zhengnan.

There is a large field outside the city gate. Fortunately, the wheat seedlings are still small, otherwise Gu Zixuan would have turned over all the wheat in the field.

"Prince Rui, thank you, sir!"

Gu Zixuan clasped his fists and saluted.

The three of them looked at each other. Xie Huaiguang and Prince Rui were both impressed by Gu Zixuan's changes. Then they looked at Yin Zhengnan, and the changes were even greater.

"This is a signal. If you find it, just send a signal and we will rush over immediately!"

Two hidden blades were handed over. When these things flew into the sky, they would make a sharp sound that could be heard ten miles away.

The two men took the things, took their people, and went off in two different groups.

Yin Zhengnan wiped his sweat.

A month has passed since they came back. It is now March and the peach blossoms on the mountain have formed buds, but unfortunately they still haven't found the person.

"Zixuan, your brother won't..."

"No!"

Gu Zixuan gritted his teeth and said, "If he is really gone, the body would have been found long ago. It has been over a month and the body has not been found, so he must be alive. Search for him, even if we have to dig three feet deep!"

Yin Zhengnan shut up completely.

Since Brother Zixuan said so, then let’s look for him. If that doesn’t work, we’ll really dig deep into the ground and find him alive or dead…

well!

As he sighed, a carriage came from the direction of the capital, and a pretty girl popped her head out. It was Song Zhener, who had quarreled with Gu Zixuan.

At this moment, Song Zhen'er's eyes were red, and she brought a lot of guards with her. She choked up and said, "Haven't you found Brother Lu yet? I brought all the guards from the Shangshu Mansion. You all, go find him."

Gu Zixuan and Yin Zhengnan looked at each other. They knew without looking closely that this woman must be in love with Lu Ge'er.

But now, there was nothing more to say. Someone was willing to help, so Gu Zixuan nodded. Song Zhener cried as she sent the person away, saying, "We haven't sorted out the grudges between us yet. Gu Zilu, you owe me an apology!"

Saying that she doesn't look like a woman is too much!

Thinking of this, Song Zhen'er started crying again. The maid tried to persuade her, and Gu Zixuan raised his eyebrows to show his curiosity.

As an elder brother, he knew very well what kind of person his younger brother was. He was never the kind of person who would get angry with others, so how could he owe this woman an apology?

There seems to be a story here.

"Yin Zhengnan, you protect the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, I'm going to look somewhere else!"

"Go ahead, signal if there's news."

Each of them has this signal and is ready at all times.

This search lasted for several days, and as the palace examination was about to begin the next day, everyone's expectations became increasingly depressed.

The emperor said that if he couldn’t find the candidate in the palace examination, then he would stop looking.

Doesn’t this prove that Gu Zilu is dead and can never come back?
