"We must avoid the guards at the city gate."
Not far from the city gate, Jiang He looked at the guards patrolling with torches and slowly spoke.
He suddenly realized that Pei Jian might have the mother Gu's weakness in his hands.
Once Pei Jian realizes something is wrong and uses a method to cause harm to the mother Gu, then their trip will have been in vain.
Therefore, it would be best to send the mother Gu to the capital before Pei Jian could react.
“We can just fight our way out.” The Qin family member pursed his lips. “We can pretend to fight the Pei family, and once some of the guards at the gate are transferred, you can slip out during the chaos.”
“Although the Pei family is unwilling to fight you now, you will be in danger if you are pushed too far.” Ling Ku glanced at the leader of the Qin family. “Don’t think you’re safe just because you have something on the Pei family. Pei Ju is a madman, just like his father.”
What if the Qin family ends up dying here? How will he explain that to Qin Ke'er?
Does that mean we'll have to take a detour whenever we see Qin Ke'er from now on?
"Thank you for your concern, General Ling." The leader had a smile on his face. "Right now, the most important thing is the Empress Dowager in the capital. Don't worry, we know what to do."
"After we leave, I will escort the mother Gu back to the capital. Ling Ku, you go to the Sun family and do everything you can to stop Pei Jian."
"good."
Ling Ku and Jiang He exchanged a glance, and then nodded in unison.
Half an hour later, the people brought by the Qin family surrounded the Pei residence.
Pei Ju, who was sleeping with his beautiful wife in his arms, was woken up and came to the gate of the mansion with sleepy eyes. "Young master, be careful. These Qin family members are like mad dogs. Be careful not to accidentally hurt you."
"Damn it, they keep acting arrogantly towards me, do they think I wouldn't dare to touch them?" Pei Ju was furious. "Men, call in troops for me, we must kill every last member of the Qin family."
"Young Master... the Patriarch instructed me before he left..."
"Now we're being treated like playthings by the Qin family. If we don't fight back, the Pei family will lose all face. Quickly send people to help me. I will bear all the consequences."
Seeing this, his subordinates had no choice but to quickly mobilize troops, and the two sides clashed. Because Pei Ju was completely enraged, a strong smell of blood immediately filled the air.
I don't know if it belongs to the Pei family or the Qin family.
Meanwhile, Jiang He and Ling Ku also successfully left the city.
Jiang He rushed towards Dayu as if he were insane, while Ling Ku followed the route Pei Jian might take all the way to the Pei family.
Throughout the journey, Jiang He was extremely tense, oblivious to the raindrops falling on him, his only thought being to take the mother Gu to Zhaoning Palace the next second.
Ah Yu...he must go and save Ah Yu...
He was the one who gave the Jiang family blood to Pei Jian back then, so he must save Ayu.
......
The next day, almost all the people in Longyou kept their courtyard gates tightly shut.
The commotion that night was heard by all the people, and none of them dared to go out, for fear of being involved in this "massacre".
The Qin family didn't gain much either, suffering losses of nearly half their members, as did the Pei family.
Where is that person?
Pei Ju, looking disheveled, seemed to have realized what was happening and stared at his subordinate, asking a question.
"What are you referring to, young master...?"
"That highly skilled guard that Father relied on, didn't you say he woke up a few days ago?" Pei Ju frowned. "There was such a commotion last night, how come he didn't hear a thing?"
"I will investigate immediately."
Pei Ju was getting anxious and waited in the courtyard for his subordinate's results. When he saw that his subordinate hadn't returned for a long time, Pei Ju's heart began to sink.
"Young master, that person has disappeared."
Pei Ju had never been so quick-witted. Upon hearing his subordinate's words, the veins on the back of Pei Ju's hand bulged out. "Go investigate again and see who else is missing."
The subordinate returned extremely quickly this time, bringing back an answer that was beyond Pei Ju's expectations: "It is... it is Master Wuyu."
"Oh no."
Pei Ju remembered Jiang He going to the study and hurriedly headed towards it.
However, the study had already been tidied up by Jiang He, and the hidden compartment where the mother Gu was placed had been returned to its original position.
But Pei Ju always felt that things were not so simple.
"Take a pen, I need to write a letter to my father." Half an incense stick later, Pei Ju folded the letter. "Use the Pei family's most secretive carrier pigeon to deliver the message to my father as quickly as possible."
......
Meanwhile, in Da Yu...
"Still no news?" Jiang Yu was starting to get impatient. "My brother has never gone this long without a reply."
"Your Highness, perhaps the Marquis is simply unable to send a letter."
Granny Ling tried to comfort her, but Jiang Yu's worry was not diminished at all.
“Your Highness, the old nanny is right,” Pei Zhi followed up. “If the Marquis and General Ling want to obtain the mother Gu, they must infiltrate the Pei family. Pei Jian is cautious by nature, so it should be difficult for them to send messages to the outside world.”
"Mother."
Gu Qingyan happened to arrive at Zhaoning Palace, his expression excited.
"Our people sent word that Pei Jian has left the Pei family for the Sun family."
"Really?" Jiang Yu perked up instantly. "Does that mean my brother's plan worked and they managed to get Pei Jian away?"
"Yes, Mother, my uncle and his men must have succeeded."
Gu Qingyan's breathing quickened. "Mother, as soon as Uncle and the others return to Dayu, someone will come to tell us immediately."
"good."
Jiang Yu looked at Gu Qingyan like this and patted the back of his hand with some pity.
“Ayan, I know you’re worried about me, and afraid that knowing it will only make you more worried. There’s no need for that.” Gu Qingyan didn’t dare to look Jiang Yu in the eye when he heard this. “Who wouldn’t worry about something like this? Ayan, you’re a piece of my flesh too.”
"Mother..."
Now that his mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger, Mei Chu said that she might give birth tomorrow... or even the next moment. And now that the mother Gu is still nowhere to be found, how could he not worry?
"Alright, every time it ends up with me comforting you guys."
Jiang Yu smiled and changed the subject, but the worry in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
......
On the other side,
Ling Ku, who was on his way to the Sun family's house, suddenly paused and looked up at the sky, where a unique pigeon was flying swiftly.
"General Ling, would you like to rest your feet?"
The Qin family specifically left a guard to accompany Ling Ku. Upon hearing this, Ling Ku shook his head, "Don't you think... that pigeon flew exceptionally fast?"
"It's definitely moving too fast, which is a bit unusual."
Upon hearing this, Ling Ku glanced in the direction the pigeons had come from, then drew a sharp arrow and shot it in the direction the pigeons were.
