Chapter 166: Guardians and Dark Ones
Zheng Yannian had just arrived here and saw a beautiful girl crying and chatting with Qin Wuyu. He felt something was wrong at that time. He had been through many battles and could easily tell who were ordinary people and who were bandits and soldiers.
He thought that all these arrangements were made by Gu Feixue.
So in the chaos, he did not act rashly.
He assisted the group in escaping and rescuing them, but remained indifferent.
Gu Feixue was originally planning to get closer to Zheng Yannian, but she was afraid that she would cause trouble for him, so she could only hide at this moment.
Yuchi Shuo also disappeared.
The riots came and went quickly, many officers and soldiers were sniped and killed, and the ground was covered with blood.
Gu Tingchuan's rope was about to be broken by himself, but a few people showed up to rescue him. Those soldiers were the bravest, and they quickly threw him and Rong Qi into the coffin.
But in about a quarter of an hour, the two had left safely.
Another quarter of an hour passed and the riot ended.
People only saw the bodies of the officers and soldiers. Some onlookers were injured and the scene was chaotic and out of control.
The carriage was shaking, and Gu Tingchuan stood up inside the carriage and slapped the wooden board.
"Do you think they will bury us?"
Seeing Gu Tingchuan smashing the coffin lid, Rong Qi smiled and said, "Today, so many people are buried with you and me. Isn't it beautiful?"
“Ah, this…”
Gu Tingchuan frowned, slapped his opponent and called for help.
He didn't know where he was going.
Rong Qi takes things as they come, as if even the sky falling is a small matter to him.
"This is an agarwood coffin. We will soon be suffocated to death in it." Gu Tingchuan was secretly anxious.
Rong Qi just smiled and said, "If you keep messing around, we'll be dead before they open it."
Gu Tingchuan is good in every way except that he is impatient.
At this moment, he was so tired that he was out of breath and could only lie back to his previous position.
Rong Qi gave him some distance.
"How's Xue'er?"
"She's safe, don't worry."
"You have been protecting her all the way, thank you." The relationship between Rong Qi and Gu Feixue is difficult to define, they are both teacher and friend.
Rong Qi is seven or eight years older than Gu Feixue. They have completely different interests and hobbies. Logically, these two extremists are the least likely to be friends, but unexpectedly, they hit it off.
He admired her insight, talent and courage.
She admired his qualities and knowledge.
Gu Feixue likes the sharp-tongued Rong Qi, and Rong Qi's retorts are also extremely clever, and he has compiled a set of quotations.
Gu Tingchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Gu Feixue was safe.
The carriage continued to move forward, and after an unknown amount of time, it finally stopped.
At this moment, Rong Qi took the initiative to speak, "Let's guess who is secretly controlling all this."
Rong Qi had long noticed that something was wrong with the group of beggars.
As for the beautiful girl who complained, that was the most bizarre scene in the whole situation. After the girl came on stage, she kept glancing at Rong Qi from time to time and made a lot of strange gestures. Although Rong Qi was unable to translate it or failed to translate it correctly, Rong Qi was still happy.
He knew that someone was operating behind the scenes.
"Yes, Master."
Gu Tingchuan thought that Zheng Yannian was helping him.
But Rong Qi had other opinions, "I feel that this has little to do with your master at this moment."
"How do you know?"
"We'll see."
Rong Qi doesn't talk much, but what he says is always right.
Every stick has its own strengths and weaknesses. Rong Qi's analytical ability and judgment far surpass Gu Tingchuan.
The only flaw in his character is that he values friendship and loyalty, which is why this situation happened.
The coffin was opened and Gu Tingchuan stood up. Opposite him was an old eunuch with a kind face.
That old eunuch must be in his seventies or eighties, the wrinkles between his eyebrows could kill a mosquito.
Gu Tingchuan looked behind the eunuch and saw a young man from a wealthy family.
He was slightly stunned, then he understood, "Oh, Your Highness?"
Many years have passed since I last parted with Yuchi Shuo. Now both of them have changed. Yuchi Shuo looks more heroic than before, but the difference from before is that he has become much calmer.
Gu Tingchuan has become much more muscular, with muscles on his shoulders coiled like a dragon, and it is obvious that he is extremely powerful.
As for Rong Qi, he and Yuchi Shuo had dealt with the plague together before, and the two cooperated very happily during the disaster relief period.
Yuchi Shuo had no official tone or airs at all, which made Rong Qi feel very comfortable. The two smiled at each other.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"We have come all the way here just to save Brother Gu. Now you just stay here peacefully." Yuchi Shuo arranged for the two of them to take a shower and change clothes.
A subordinate reported that he had indeed seen Gu Feixue, but his exact whereabouts were still under investigation.
"Don't scare Xue'er, take your time to look for her." Yuchi Shuo's voice was soft. Whenever he thought of her, he would smile silently.
Gu Feixue could only return to the previous inn.
Rong Xing came back after taking care of Feixue, and then he came out tremblingly to greet her.
"Where is my master? Why did you come back empty-handed?" Rong Xing frowned.
Gu Feixue also felt strange. "They were rescued, but I still don't know who rescued them. Someone will be searching for them soon, and I can't show up in public all the time, so I came back."
"You can't just stand by and watch him die. My master was in danger just to save your brother." Rong Xing sighed sadly.
Gu Feixue nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I will see this through to the end."
In the afternoon, Yuchi She also arrived.
Prime Minister Wei has also arrived.
Several officials were kneeling in front of the two men, and Qin Wuyu had been beaten to a pulp with a bloody head.
This matter was clearly a done deal and easy, but who knew something would go wrong at the last moment. Yuchi She was even planning to use Gu Tingchuan as bait to attract Gu Feixue and the Gu family.
If things go well, Yuchi Shuo can be captured in one fell swoop.
But what is the situation now?
Qin Wuyu actually made such a mistake.
At this moment, Qin Wuyu had been beaten to a pulp and was half dead.
"Waste! Good-for-nothing! This is outrageous!" Prime Minister Wei was furious and ordered his men to teach Qin Wuyu a lesson.
Qin Wuyu was already dying, spitting out drops of blood.
Yuchi She, who was standing next to him, finally frowned. He spoke, his tone calm and pleasant, neither impatient nor anxious, "Don't lecture him. I still have a few questions."
"Yes, yes." Prime Minister Wei hurriedly stepped back.
Someone used cold water to wake up the dying guy on the ground.
Qin Wuyu looked like a corpse.
Yuchi She approached, his vision seemed to have lost focus and was fixed on a certain point. His right hand grabbed the man's bun. Qin Wu Yu was panting, and his upper body had been lifted up.
"Lord Qin, what you did was abhorrent. I thought you would handle it smoothly, but I didn't expect you to be so foolish. Now, answer a few questions for me."
"Yes, yes."
