After saying this, he hurried out and told his young apprentice to go to the government office.
A quarter of an hour later, Duan Yunchi stood in front of Gu Xinran, panting.
With red eyes, she looked at her pale cousin, clenched her fists, and spoke with a trembling voice: "Ranran, are you okay? It must be very painful. Damn it! It's all my fault for not doing my job well. I searched for him for more than half a month and still couldn't catch him."
Gu Xinran couldn't bear to see her sunny and cheerful cousin with such an expression.
He said calmly and slowly, "I'm fine. I can bear this little pain. Don't always take the blame on yourself. The mountains are high and the forests are dense. He has good Qinggong skills. As long as he hides carefully, no one can catch him.
This time he's finally exposed. Send people to that forest to hunt him down. I hope Liao Wu can stop him."
"Okay, I'll personally lead people to chase after them right away. This time, we must eradicate this cancer."
Gu Xinran thought that Duan Yunchi should also be the person he wanted to target. After all, it was he who led people to destroy the lair of Anzhuang. He didn't know if he still had poison arrows, so he took out two bottles of spiritual spring water from his sleeve pocket and handed them to him.
He said sternly, "Take these two bottles of spirit-gathering water. They saved my life. Be careful of his poisonous arrows."
Duan Yunchi took the priceless Spirit Gathering Water with both hands, nodded vigorously, and immediately led a group of people into the mountains and forests.
Gu Xinran stayed in the clinic for a while, felt better, and prepared to go home to rest.
She stood up and said goodbye to Doctor Zhang. Doctor Zhang saw that she was seriously injured and had something to say, but felt that the timing was not right and looked a little awkward.
Gu Xinran understood that it must be a problem with penicillin. Several days had passed, and penicillium should have grown on the oranges.
He spoke sympathetically, "Is there any progress with the penicillin? I'll go to your house tomorrow to check it out. It's just an arm injury, nothing serious."
Doctor Zhang went to Gu's house to look for her yesterday, but didn't see her. He was about to go to the farm to look for her when she appeared, but the timing was wrong.
Seeing the miserable state of the young master, he really couldn't say anything. Fortunately, she was understanding and brought it up first.
He said worriedly, "The oranges are already covered in blue mold. I'm afraid something will go wrong if I don't deal with it, so I have to bother you. Little Master, if it's inconvenient for you to travel, I'll bring some test samples to your house and you can give me some guidance."
Gu Xinran thought about it and thought this was a good idea. She seriously suspected that her mother would restrict her from going out until the murderer was caught or her injuries were healed.
"Okay, if you want to come to my house, you can come anytime. I'm definitely at home every day because I'm recovering from my injuries."
Doctor Zhang nodded happily and bought her several large bags of blood-replenishing medicine from the pharmacy.
Gu Xinran returned to the Gu Mansion quarter of an hour later under Xiaomei's protection.
When Gu's mother learned that she had been assassinated and seriously injured, she was terrified.
Gently stroking her injured arm, tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
Gu Xinran thought to herself that her mother was really made of water. Fortunately, she didn't tell her about her eldest brother's injury, otherwise the Gu family would have been flooded with tears.
Gu Xinran tried to persuade her again and again, but it was no use. She had no choice but to resort to her trump card, "Mom, I'm almost starving to death. I want to drink the porridge and soup you cook."
Mother Gu stopped sobbing instantly, wiped away her tears, looked at her with heartache, and scolded her, "You haven't had lunch yet? Why didn't you tell me earlier, kid? I'll prepare it right away, you just lie down in bed."
Then he said to Xiaomei who was guarding the door, "Thank goodness you guys are here today. You've worked hard! You should take a rest for a while. I'll bring you some food later."
Looking at Gu's mother's departing back, Gu Xinran felt relieved. Mother's love is too deep, it is a sweet burden.
There was also a sweet burden standing at the door. She found that Xiaomei had been in a tense mood since she was shot by an arrow. She had been staying by her side all the time, fearing that the assassin would come back and harm her again.
It was unlikely to let her go back to her room to rest, so he simply ordered someone to clean up the storage room in the west wing and give it to Xiaomei and Xiaolan to live in.
In the following time, everyone was waiting for the arrest results. It was not until night fell that Duan Yunchi and Liao Wu returned home together.
Gu Xinran, supported by Xiaomei, came to the middle hall and listened to them talk about the pursuit process.
The first thing Duan Yunchi said was: "The leader of Anzhuang is dead!" This gave everyone peace of mind.
Everyone's hearts, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
Then Liao Wu said, "When I chased him, he was evacuating from a big tree, flying on the treetops. His Qinggong skills were very good. I chased him in the jungle for two hours, but still lost him.
I can only search nearby, but unfortunately the mountains are deep and the forests are dense, and my personal strength is limited. However, I am sure he can't escape far. Along the way, I saw him vomiting blood occasionally and was seriously injured. He must have hidden himself.
Luckily, I tore my clothes and threw them on the ground to leave a mark while chasing him, and soon Master Duan and his men caught up with him."
Duan Yunchi took over the conversation: "More than a hundred of us, including our guards, conducted a blanket search of the surrounding ten-mile area. An hour later, we finally found him in a hidden cave. Sigh..."
Seeing that her cousin paused and remained silent, Gu Xinran's appetite was piqued.
She glared at him and urged, "Stop breathing so hard and get on with the story!"
Duan Yunchi said with a slightly disappointed look: "When we met him, he was only breathing his last breath. We were completely useless."
Gu Xinran was stunned. "Could it be that he saw that there were too many people chasing him, knew he couldn't win, and committed suicide out of fear of punishment?"
Duan Yunchi sighed, "Ranran, you're overthinking it. His condition is worse than suicide. He's a pitiful man..."
Mother Gu, standing by, rolled her eyes at her nephew. "Yun Chi, say that again! Have you forgotten that Ran Ran almost died at his hands?"
The talkative Duan Yunchi shuddered. His aunt was his uncle and his father... She was the apple of the eyes of the whole family and must not be offended.
He immediately changed his attitude and said, "You are not pitiful at all. If you dare to hurt my cousin, you should be eaten by insects and die!
Alas, that scene is really hard to describe. He was lying on the ground, crying and laughing, with insects constantly crawling out of his mouth. He said that he regretted getting on the pirate ship of the Third Prince and being controlled by the poison.
He kept talking about finally being reunited with his brothers and having his revenge. After he died, bugs started crawling out of his body. It was so scary, we burned him to death.
Gu Xinran sighed deeply after hearing this and said with emotion, "The Third Prince is truly ruthless. Such a vicious person, I wonder where he has escaped to. If he joins the Marquis of Zhenbei in rebellion, this country, which is already suffering, will be even more precarious."
After hearing this, Duan Yunchi fell silent. Based on the inside information he knew, Ranran's worries might come true soon.
He sighed deeply, "The Crown Prince has mobilized a lot of troops and stationed them in Yongzhou and Liaozhou, which border the northern border. However, these troops are too weak compared to the Zhenbei Army that has been fighting enemies on the border for years..."
