Chapter 157: Insulted and Harmed
Gu Feixue never thought that she would hear such bad news here, but Yuchi Shuo's thoughts seemed to coincide with hers.
Rong Xing was still muttering to himself as he packed his luggage, while Rong Qi stood aside, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"How about this? You all go back to the border town and wait for me. I'll come and join you soon. How about that?"
Gu Feixue said.
This is a compromise plan and the most adaptable option.
Rong Xing nodded like a chicken eating rice, "Master, since we're here, why don't we just part ways with Miss Gu right here? Didn't you always say you wanted to find a chance to come back..."
The rest of his words were blocked by Rong Qi's cold eyes.
Gu Feixue pretended not to know and didn't want to get involved in these private matters.
Rong Qi's expression was solemn. "When something like this happens, it's not good to just stand by and watch."
"Then..." Gu Feixue was grateful, "Shall we go to Jiangzhou?"
She looked into the distance reluctantly. As a special forces soldier in her previous life, she still had an indelible feeling about the battlefield.
"Leave."
Rong Qi never drags his feet when doing things.
Jiangzhou.
Gu Tingchuan was imprisoned because someone reported him. That person said with certainty that Gu Shanchuan was the Gu Tingchuan of the past.
According to Yuchi She's plan, the entire Gu family died on the way to exile.
Prime Minister Wei is narrow-minded and cruel, and he will do anything to achieve his goals.
Killing people during exile is an easy task.
He had been looking for an opportunity to attack the Gu family, so how could he let it go now?
Gu Tingchuan was apprehended in a flash, and severe punishment was inevitable.
On the second day of Gu Tingchuan's imprisonment, the jailer beat him until he fainted.
Then, a storm broke out in secret.
In their plan, they would not only kill Gu Tingchuan, but also destroy their several workshops of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, as well as Zuixianlou.
Although these industries seem easy for Gu Feixue, and they may go bankrupt today but transform and still be thriving tomorrow, they are also an indispensable part.
It depends on whether Gu Feixue wants the person or the property, or whether she can leave nothing behind.
It is a long journey from the nearby border town to Jiangzhou.
The three men ate when hungry and drank when thirsty, and slept at night and walked in the morning.
Along the way, Gu Feixue left a mark for her father and also wrote a letter to Yuchi Shuo.
But unexpectedly, Yuchi Shuo did not reply.
A week's journey was abruptly shortened to three days.
By the time she entered Jiangzhou, Gu Feixue was exhausted and had big dark circles under her eyes.
Rong Xing yawned and took out a small box mysteriously. "Look what this is? Apply this around your eye sockets to reduce dark circles."
"Okay, I accept it, thank you." Gu Feixue accepted the gift with a smile, but did not use it.
Seeing the fatigue between Gu Feixue's brows, Rong Qi frowned, "Don't worry, they have other plans. If they just wanted to kill your brother, they would have done it long ago."
"I know they are waiting for our family to fall into their trap."
Rong Qi shrugged.
After arriving in Jiangzhou, the two men remained inactive. According to Rong Qi's suggestion, it would be best to go to the government office tonight to investigate.
Gu Feixue was also preparing to go. The two of them sneaked into the prison, but they had no idea that the prison was interconnected and there were countless criminals detained there.
The prison was dark, cramped, and poorly ventilated. Trying to find Gu Tingchuan from among such a group of dying people was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Each person on each side, each doing his own thing?"
Standing in the dark courtyard, Gu Feixue looked at Rong Qi.
Rong Qi nodded.
Two dark shadows disappeared into the dark night.
Gu Feixue acted quickly. From the day she decided to escape death, she seized every spare moment to improve her abilities. Now, she has become proficient in the use of her X-ray vision to a new level. She can see through things twenty meters away and sense danger about ten meters away.
However, she got nothing.
A quarter of an hour later, I returned to the previous place and Rong Qi had arrived.
"How are things over there?" Rong Qi asked in a low voice.
Gu Feixue shook her head.
"This is the kitchen and guest room." She couldn't help but sneer at this. "There's a shadow play being performed in the guest room, Zhu Bajie getting married. There are quite a lot of people gathered, so be careful."
Rong Qi took note and said, "I found a secret door here."
"Secret door?"
Rong Qi was at a loss for words, so he led Gu Feixue along: "Come with me."
Gu Feixue followed behind Rong Qi. After Rong Qi deliberately slowed down, she was able to follow easily.
After passing through the secret door that Rong Qi mentioned, they found themselves in a basement inside the prison. It was cold and terrifying, like the eighteen levels of hell.
As soon as she entered here, Gu Feixue clenched her teeth.
"It's cold enough."
"Water dungeon." Rong Qi explained.
The two continued to walk forward. Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind them. Gu Feixue and Rong Qi hid in the darkness.
The people who came were two cooks.
They were carrying shoulder poles and buckets. The one in front said, "Our master is extremely clever. If we detain him here, even a god might not be able to find him."
"Hahaha, the old ones are still the wisest. But then again," the man walking behind muttered, "Gu Tingchuan is truly audacious. He actually showed up so brazenly. Isn't this courting death?"
The man in front said, "What do you know? This is called the safest place in the most dangerous place."
Having said this, the two ended the topic.
Everything seemed normal, but her intuition told her something was wrong.
She was about to use her X-ray vision when she discovered that the two men had somehow gone far away.
Rong Qi followed first.
She followed stealthily behind him.
The two of them followed from a distance, and after two turns, Gu Feixue stood still.
There is a separate cell here, where some dying people are lying.
Gu Feixue looked at this group of people who were barely surviving, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
"Help! It's unfair, it's unfair!" A weak voice was crying out for justice.
Maybe this person really felt wronged, but who would care about him here?
Someone cursed, "This is outrageous! If you have the guts, let me out. I'll tear your county magistrate into pieces. Let me go, damn it!"
Others sat quietly on the dry straw, as if becoming one with the darkness.
The cook must have just passed by, as there were broken bowls in these people's hands or on the ground in front of them, with very little leftover food in them.
elder brother.
Gu Feixue couldn't help but clench her fists.
When she came to her senses, Rong Qi was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Feixue concentrated her attention. She slowly opened her eyes and prepared to see through things. She soon discovered that the resentment here was so strong that she couldn't use her skills normally.
Suddenly, a pair of unique eyes appeared in the prison on the side.
There is a dirty woman!
The woman was wearing a faded skirt, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. She looked frail and sick.
Even though the other person was so dirty, it couldn't hide her beauty.
She looked at Gu Feixue and coughed slightly. Gu Feixue couldn't help but frown.
