Chapter 458: Go to the base to wait
Nuan Yu shook her head. "They should be investigating whether there are any tunnels in Luming Mountain right now. They should be back in the next two days."
Bai Lan: "The result of the inquiry is definitely that you are overthinking it."
"Maybe." Nuanyu said and went to the outer courtyard.
Chunhua entered the main room and came to the bed without making any sound, looking carefully at Du Zhihuan who was sleeping on her back.
This face is real. Nuanyu might have seen it wrong that day.
Du Zhiyi's yard.
"Zhiyi, are you going to the camp tomorrow?"
Du Zhiyi nodded and said, "I will personally deliver the reward money that the emperor gave to the soldiers. The soldiers defended their country just to get the reward money to take back and take care of their families."
"What about the soldiers stationed at the border?"
"Of course they are indispensable. I will rush back tomorrow before Prince Rong and his family arrive. Oh, by the way, do you like my sister?"
Gong Lingyu smiled and said, "Your sister is very pretty. She has inherited all the good qualities of your parents. You can tell she's from the Du family. Didn't you ever doubt the appearance of your fake sister?"
Du Zhiyi: "After Huanhuan was brought back, I took over my father's position. Military affairs were very busy, and I could only see her when I had free time and during festivals. Huanhuan was spoiled by her parents, and I never thought about it. I didn't expect it was Wu Lingheng's doing. Fortunately, my sister was adopted by Boss Jiang's daughter. Now that she has lost her husband, would you be willing to help me take care of her and her mother? She is my sister's mother, and she is my mother in name only."
Gong Lingyu raised an eyebrow and said, "I have no problem. Do your parents-in-law want you to be filial to Madam Song?"
"Of course Mom and Dad are willing. If it weren't for Madam Song, I might not have known that Huanhuan was a fake sister. She raised my sister so well. Not only is she a doctor, but my grandmother also praised her other abilities. This is all thanks to Madam Song. She is a great favor to our Du family."
"...Oh, don't worry. My mother will like you. She's being cold now because I told her not to marry you without a second thought. I'll be fine after you give birth to her precious grandson. Let's go to bed early. I'll be out of town before dawn tomorrow."
Peach Blossom Lane
"Bang!"
Yang Xu shuddered in fear when the door was pushed open.
Nuan Yu walked in and took a closer look at Yang Xu, who looked a little haggard at the moment.
"Heh, Du Zhihuan really does look a bit like you."
Yang Xu still hasn't figured out how Song Yu's people knew him?
And called out his name accurately.
"Tell me the truth. How did you and Du Zhihuan conspire to replace my young lady's face? Don't play tricks. Du Zhihuan is not sick at all."
Yang Xu looked at Ah Qi and said, "I was discovered because my disguise fell off. Don't you know what conspiracy we could have had?"
Song Yu was sure that Huanhuan was under control, otherwise she would be a corpse by now.
It's just that they noticed that there was something wrong with me.
After all, the ears and the red mole did not appear.
If Huanhuan was really exposed, they wouldn't even need to ask him and would just come and take his life.
"...I guess you figured out Huanhuan was faking illness, which is why you captured me. What a shame you found out so early, wuwuwu...My poor Huanhuan could only watch helplessly as Song Yu and Prince Xiao got engaged. Why did Song Yu have to return to the capital alive? She shouldn't have come back to take everything from Huanhuan. That all belonged to Huanhuan."
"Pah!" Nuan Yu slapped him, breaking one of his teeth. "Du Zhihuan is the one who usurped my position. She was the one who stole my young lady's identity and is now returning to normal. If Du Zhihuan hadn't been a troublemaker, she could have lived a good life. But now that she's thinking of harming my young lady, she won't have such a good life anymore. Just wait, you'll see."
Nuanyu turned and left the room, and the door closed and locked with a click.
Yang Xu looked at the closed door and smiled. It will be too late by the time you find out.
Huanhuan had already reached the top.
Song Yu was not in a hurry to travel, but went to Yunyang Station to rest and replenish his strength.
Asi was worried that Yunyan was pretending to surrender, so he kept a close eye on Yunyan.
Fat Tiger Li hid behind A Si with a knife in his hand, staring at Yun Yan with a fierce look.
Yunyan glanced at the two of them and continued eating the noodles in her bowl.
She was also hungry, so she ate two large bowls of rice and went to the room to look for Song Yu.
Ah Si, Fat Tiger Li protected Song Yu closely like he was guarding against a thief.
Song Yu frowned: "You are blocking my view!"
The two of them moved half an arm's width apart.
"Yunyan, I just want to ask you something. How did Du Zhihuan replace my face without cutting it off?"
Yunyan said, "It's the Illusion Face Gu."
"What? Gu?"
Song Yu searched quickly in her mind. She only knew about love Gu, heart-eating Gu, and blood-sucking Gu. This was the first time she heard of the illusion face Gu.
"Could it be that this is a combination of illusion and poison?"
Yunyan didn't expect Song Yu to be so smart, "Yes."
Song Yu thought for a moment, "How did Yang Xu cultivate the Gu?"
Yunyan was shocked again. She even knew about Yang Xu.
"Use... use your blood."
"What?" Ah Si was so angry that he stepped forward with his sword, "Did you draw the young lady's blood?"
Yunyan raised her hand to clamp the sword that was hurtling towards her, "No, we didn't spare the young lady's blood."
"Bullshit! You can't raise the Gu worm without bleeding. I think you are just pretending to surrender and waiting for an opportunity to harm the young lady."
"I'm not surrendering. I just realized that the true master I should serve is the young lady. If the young lady has any doubts, you can stab me to death now."
Yunyan loosened her sword, and Ah Si pressed his hand against her neck. The force in his hand was so strong that blood soon flowed from her neck.
"A Si, step back. I know how to raise poisonous insects."
Song Yu felt a little disgusted at the moment. Yang Xu would use such a disgusting method to raise poisonous insects. It also reminded her that she had to be on guard in this regard.
Not to mention blood, even hair and nails can be used by people who want to harm others.
"The Blood Illusion Face Du Zhihuan uses is definitely not perfect and has flaws. Am I right?"
Yunyan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the ears and the red mole did not form.
The blood used to feed the Gu is not clean.
Yunyan nodded: "Yes, the ear and red mole were not successfully enchanted."
"Yang Xu is indeed capable, so you can tell me what you want to talk to me about."
Yunyan: "There must be ambushes set up on the way back to the city. It won't be easy to escape back to the capital. However, a hundred miles north of here is the Du family army's training camp. As long as we can get there smoothly, we can basically return to the capital safely. Of course, there will definitely be many ambushes along the way. Even if we get there safely, it might be a bit troublesome if the eldest and second young masters are not here."
Song Yu immediately thought of Cheng Xiao. There must be Prince Rong's men in this camp. Not to mention that his elder and second brothers were not there, even if they were training there, it would be dangerous to go to the camp, but at least there was a 50% chance of survival.
"Miss," Ah Si said, "The eldest and second young masters should be returning to the capital. I met them on the way."
Fat Tiger Li said, "Miss, let's hurry over there now. It will be almost dawn by the time we get there."
Song Yu nodded. "Pack up and leave immediately, but be extra cautious when you get there. There must be Prince Rong's men in the Du family's residence. They might be waiting for us to fall into their trap."
Yunyan said, "If the eldest and second young masters have returned to the capital, they will go to the camp for training early every morning and usually return to the city at 9:00."
"Then wait for the eldest and second brothers near the base. Let's go and rush over now."
The group left the official road and took a small path north, with Song Yu protected in the middle.
Those who betrayed their master were naturally treated with caution.
Half an hour later, sharp arrows attacked Song Yu and others indiscriminately like a tide.
