Chapter 169: Sailing into Headwind
"Sir, Sir."
The old man ran out to greet him happily.
A man who looked like a general walked in, holding a spear in his hand. He looked around the room and twitched his nostrils.
"Did a girl just bring a dying man here?"
"Yes, yes, I was scared to death."
Gu Feixue couldn't believe that the old man would betray her. At this moment, she grabbed a handful of caltrops.
"Where did the people go?" the man asked.
He lifted the old man up and pointed to the window. "They flew out from here before you came. That girl is a top-notch martial artist. She was so powerful that she disappeared like lightning. She also warned me not to tell you these secrets."
Hearing this, Gu Feixue nodded. The old man followed the general. He saw that the window was closed and found Gu Feixue's footprints on the window, so he immediately pushed the window open.
The house was located in a small alley with roads on either side, and no matter which one you took, you would end up in a dead end.
And they also had their people patrolling outside, so he felt relieved.
Gu Feixue held her breath and concentrated.
At this moment, Rong Xing was dying, and he frowned from time to time because of the severe pain. He uttered a low sound, and it was this sound that stopped the man in his tracks.
The general turned around and stared at the wooden bed. There was something bulging on the bed, which looked very strange.
He waved his hand, and several soldiers behind him were gradually approaching with weapons in hand. Judging from their alert state, anyone on the bed would surely die.
"Gu Feixue, aren't you coming out yet?"
"Search under the bed!"
The general gave orders.
In an instant, someone pulled the quilt and threw it on the ground.
Someone looked down under the bed.
There was no one on the bed, and there were old people's clothes under the quilt. As for under the bed, it was empty, with nothing there either.
Only then did everyone believe the old man's words and left one by one.
After they left, the old man sighed.
The strong smell of blood filled the room. Fortunately, these people left, otherwise the secret would have been exposed.
The old man looked up.
It turned out that Gu Feixue had such an exchange with the old man.
"You will definitely be arrested if you come to my place. I am the first one in this alley and I am too conspicuous. Girl, I beg you, I dare not provoke the imperial officials and soldiers."
"No, it's because your place seems dangerous but is actually the safest. I have a plan. Please help me arrange it."
Although the soldiers were at the door, Gu Feixue remained fearless.
She used this short time to arrange everything.
The footprints on the windowsill were deliberately disguised.
As for the clothes, they were deliberately piled up by Gu Feixue with the purpose of confusing people.
When everything was ready, Gu Feixue jumped onto the beam.
From here, you can look down and see who is coming and observe any danger.
She also understood that this was her last chance, and if the old man betrayed her, she would be in trouble.
The old man gave her a chance to be reborn.
"Tomorrow morning, you will buy some medicine for wounds. Tell me how you lived before, what time you got up, and what you did during the day. You should do the same from now on." Gu Feixue arranged.
The old man frowned and said, "Who on earth are you? Why should I help you?"
"My brother is Gu Tingchuan, his family is Rong Xing, and his master is Rong Qi." Seeing that the old man was willing to help her, Gu Feixue simply said what was in her heart.
The old man's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Rong Qi? But the miraculous doctor Rong Qi? How can you prove it?"
"My master is my master. Why are you being so fussy? Look at this." Rong Qi likes wood carving. As a professional medical officer, in order to ensure the flexibility and stability of his hands, Rong Qi will do some wood carving whenever he has free time.
His wood carvings are superb. A small piece of wood can be made into many shapes. These wooden sculptures are exquisite and lifelike.
Rong Xing took out a wooden carving of a puppy, "This was made by my master, maybe you can recognize it?"
"Oh, oh," the old man immediately pulled the red rope on his collar. Gu Feixue took a look and found that the old man was actually wearing the same dog sculpture as Rong Xing.
Seeing this, he laughed happily. "Many years ago, I was doing timber business in Liangcheng. I was unlucky. I had a car accident that year and broke my leg. It was he who saved me. I didn't have money in a foreign country, but Rong Qi didn't take a penny. Since you are his friends, you must be good people."
"But," the old man frowned, "how could it be that Mr. Gu was the one who committed the murder and arson? That's impossible."
"Those people weren't murdered at all. Someone poisoned them. My brother's presence at the crime scene doesn't prove he's the murderer. On the contrary, my brother was trying to catch the murderer, so he didn't have time to leave."
When the old man heard this, he suddenly understood.
The soldiers searched the area all night but found no trace.
In the government office, Yuchi She has arrived.
"So, you want to tell this king that you didn't find Gu Tingchuan and Rong Qi?"
The two prisoners were captured, which should have been easy to do, but his group failed to catch them.
It would have been fine if they hadn't caught him, but they didn't even find any clues.
Yuchi She didn't look angry at all, his eyes were calm and without any ripples.
Those who know him well know that this is what it means to be angry.
If we divide it by the level of anger, level one is a sneer, level two is cursing and roaring, and level three is what it looks like now.
That person was unfamiliar with this living devil, and at this moment he was actually smug. He never thought that the cruel and brutal Sixth Prince that people talked about would actually look like this. This was completely different from the Sixth Prince in the rumors.
"Your Highness, we are looking for you."
"No clues either?" Yuchi She stared at the man.
The man shuddered, the other person's gaze was like a poisonous snake.
"Yes, yes."
His back teeth clashed with fear.
Immediately afterwards, Yuchi She stood up.
Jiangzhou is close to the Bohai Sea and has high humidity. Although there is no winter here, due to its unique geographical location, it is often very cold and a fire needs to be made. At this moment, Yuchi She approached the flame and moved his fingers.
But his eyes fell on the fire hook.
The man still felt no fear.
"Where's Gu Feixue? Hasn't she been found yet?"
“This…this…”
The man hesitated, but could only speak the truth. "Your Highness, we are already searching. We will report any leads we have immediately. We will probably capture this little girl today or tomorrow."
Finally, Yuchi She turned his head.
