Seeing the current Emperor Tongyang of the Dawu Dynasty looking at him with interest, Gu Shengchao was even more certain of his previous judgment.
"The Siren Kingdom and the Dawu Dynasty have always been at odds with each other. We can feel it this time in Beihu. I guess the Holy Spirit may set up some institutions in the Siren Kingdom to obtain the other party's information in a timely manner. I am also just guessing. If so, I'm sorry, please forgive me." Gu Shengchao didn't dare to overshadow the guest.
The emperor was overjoyed: "The one who knows me is a sage."
He said with emotion: "Our Dawu Dynasty and the Xileng Kingdom have always been at odds with each other. In order to jointly deal with Beihu, we have the means of exchanging protons to restrict each other. In order to catch all our princes in one fell swoop, the old eunuch Wen Zhe will exchange protons If the tradition is cancelled, both sides will have no worries, and they will undermine each other, and in the end it will be Beihu who will benefit."
"Although you are alone in Xileng Country this time, if you get the support of Baixian Village, you can handle this matter quietly. There are many people talking, so it is best to use local people in the exploratory stage, so as not to show off your knowledge. , will not attract the attention of Xileng Kingdom and Yunqi Palace, do you understand what I mean?"
"The Holy One is wise, and the subordinates understand." Gu Shengchao agreed.
The emperor said with satisfaction: "That's good, pack these things, collect the money, and set off on a different day, waiting for your good news."
"The mission has been fulfilled." Gu Shengchao accepted the order and left the palace.
Back at the house, Gu Shengchao told everyone the good news.
"After sending Miss Yan to live in her grandfather's old house in Xileng Kingdom, I thought it would be a long time coming. Unexpectedly, the emperor arranged this task for me. It is just for public use and personal use, which solves my worries." Gu Shengchao was very happy.
Being able to return to a normal life was Wan Yanxi's dream wish, and it was about to come true. Of course she was overjoyed.
In the evening, Liu Ximei rested with Gu Shengchao. She frowned and said worriedly: "It is indeed a happy thing to be appreciated by the Holy One, but I am always worried about you and Wanyan going to the West Cold Country alone. "
"Madam, you are worrying too much. Wan Yanxi looks weak, but once she becomes fierce, she is like a dominatrix. How can I dare to provoke such a woman? If you don't believe it, just ask Dong E. I am definitely not talking nonsense." Ancient Sage. Super enlighten her.
Liu Ximei was worried anyway: "That girl Dong E spoke quickly and told us in detail the process of how you captured the county magistrate in the county seat, especially the fact that Sister Wanyan killed more than 20 people with flying knives. It's amazing, so I believe everything you say. But if that girl falls in love with you and you can't control it, how can I explain it to Sister Wanruo? She has always told me to keep an eye on you."
Gu Shengchao was helpless: "You guys always like to think wildly, why don't you just leave Wan Yanxi behind and I'll go to the West Cold Country alone."
Liu Ximei said sadly: "What was agreed upon at the beginning has changed at the last moment, what will Miss Wanyan think? It would be great if sister Wanruo were here, you listen to her the most, I rely on you in everything, I can only take one step Take a look."
Seeing her dilemma, Gu Shengchao thought of someone: "Otherwise, when I passed by Luoya Bay, I handed Ding Ying the imperial edict to open a perfume shop, and took her with me by the way, with that jealous person accompanying me. You should feel at ease being around me."
Liu Ximei finally smiled: "That's the best, I feel relieved. If Yao'er and Dong E didn't need to be taken care of, I really want to accompany you and enjoy the scenery along the way."
In the next few days, Liu Ximei helped prepare the luggage.
Dong E was excited and wanted to accompany her to watch the fun, but Gu Shengchao stopped her: "Just stay here and help my sister-in-law. Yaoyao was kidnapped a few days ago. No one knows whether they will come back secretly. How can I help my sister-in-law?" With one more person helping me, I can feel at ease outside.”
Pouting and unhappy, Dong E had no choice but to accept the reality.
After everything was packed, Gu Shengchao found a carriage and asked BMW Zhui Feng to pull it. Wan Yanxi sat in the carriage.
In order to facilitate travel on the road, the two agreed that they would be siblings. When others asked, they would say that they took their sister to have her eye disease checked to prevent others from being suspicious and causing unnecessary trouble.
After bidding farewell to Liu Ximei and others, Gu Shengchao shook his reins, hissed loudly, and ran away.
Anyway, there was plenty of time, so Gu Shengchao was not in a hurry and moved forward leisurely.
Passing by the Wuyou Escort Agency where he first successfully applied, he was very pleased to see the traffic and business inside.
The Wuyou Escort Bureau helped Prince Yucheng become emperor, and it also gained a lot. The Escort Bureau business not only came back to life, but also grew stronger.
After arriving at Luoya Bay smoothly, Gu Shengchao excitedly went to find Ding Ying, but unexpectedly found that the perfume shop was closed and no longer in business.
He was dumbfounded and didn't know what happened.
After climbing over the wall to the backyard, the door of the main house was locked, but the west room was open. Things inside were messy and the windows were broken. It was obvious that someone had used violence to destroy it.
The main house is occupied by Lu Chuan and Fang Xingdan, and it seems they are not here.
Ding Ying usually lives in the West House, but the messy situation in front of her made Gu Shengchao worried.
He wanted to go inside the perfume store to check, but the door panel was blocking his way in and he couldn't see.
Just when he was at a loss and pacing back and forth at the door, a man came up and asked, "My guest, do you want to take a bath?"
Gu Shengchao raised his head and recognized this person as a clerk from the perfume store, and said hurriedly: "Brother, can you remember me?"
The man looked at Gu Shengchao, then remembered and said with surprise: "I know, you are our Miss Ding's fiancé."
Grasping his shoulders, Gu Shengchao said eagerly: "Tell me, what happened here?"
Gu Shengchao's grip hurt. The man bared his teeth and hissed, and Gu Shengchao hurriedly let go of his hand.
"Shopkeeper Lu and his wife left shortly after they came back a few months ago, leaving Miss Ding behind to guard the store. The day before yesterday, two old women came to take a bath. Nothing happened, but Miss Ding happened to come to help. For some reason, there was an argument, and the three of them started fighting. . Miss Ding couldn't defeat them, so she was kidnapped by the two and went somewhere unknown. After we reported to the police, we closed the shop first. Miss Ding is usually not kind to us, so she comes here to check on her every day, hoping that she can return safely. We also hope that Shopkeeper Lu and his wife can come back in time so that we can report to them and let them know."
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Shengchao took out a piece of silver and gave it to the guy.
"No, no, I can't take your money." The waiter said, but his hand betrayed him and he took it honestly.
Gu Shengchao asked softly: "Think about it again, what they said, or what special things can be recalled."
The waiter scratched his head and thought hard. He suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I heard those two old ladies said something about the rules of Qixing Cliff. Miss Ding was very annoyed, and they should have known each other before. Miss Ding particularly hated those two Old woman.”
"Thanks for the reminder, brother."
This place is not far from Qixing Cliff. The conflict must have occurred because they accidentally found this place.
They left without saying goodbye that night. Gu Shengchao stayed at the bottom of the valley for an extra day and was captured, so he knew about Qixingya's pursuit of Fang Xingdan and Ding Ying, but they didn't know.
The ancient sage was very upset. If he had known this, he should have told them to stay away from this place of right and wrong.
But the matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it. The top priority is to rescue Ding Ying.
He immediately drove the carriage and quickly chased in the direction of Qixing Cliff.
A few days later, we arrived at the foot of the mountain. Because Qixingya produces tea, there is an inn at the foot of the mountain to accommodate merchants.
Gu Shengchao rented a guest room for Wan Yanxi to stay, and Zhui Feng was also cared for by an innkeeper at the stables.
"Brother Gu, stay here. I might be able to help if you take me with you." Seeing that Gu Shengchao was leaving, Wan Yanxi wanted to go up the mountain together.
Gu Shengchao was also in a dilemma: "The rules of Qixing Cliff are that men cannot go up the mountain. It is certainly suitable for girls to go. However, the mountain road is difficult and dangerous. Girls cannot sense the terrain in the distance and are in danger of falling off the cliff."
"How about Brother Gu carry me up and let me down when I need to step in." Wan Yanxi wanted to help.
Gu Shengchao thought about it for a while. Qixing Cliff prohibited men from going up the mountain. It would be easy for those old women to misunderstand him if he came forward. Maybe Wan Yanxi really has a place to be useful.
Thinking of this, Gu Shengchao carried Wanyan Xi into Qixing Cliff.
It was afternoon now, and it would be easy to be discovered if he went up the mountain rashly. He carried Wan Yanxi on his back and went to the place where he once lived down the valley.
The crops in the tiankeng at the bottom of the valley have long been deserted, and there are thick weeds everywhere.
The waterfall halfway up the mountain is still there, but the three thatched houses are nowhere to be found. They must have been destroyed by the fire that night.
Things have changed and people have changed, Gu Shengchao is a little sad. Seeing that the sun was heading west, he walked backward along the river upstream of the waterfall.
He walked along this road, and when he was approaching Tianxuan Peak, he noticed a huge rock on the roadside that caught his attention.
He stopped about a hundred steps in front of the huge rock. He knew there was a path up which he could climb, using both hands and feet.
If he had come alone, he would have planned to walk with a sword.
Now that he is carrying Wan Yan Xi on his back, he is not very skilled in sword handling and is afraid of falling to her, so it is safer to climb up like this.
When the sun set over the west mountain, Gu Shengchao finally climbed up.
When they arrived at Qixingya Tianxuan Peak, they didn't dare to show up rashly, so they hid behind the rocks to observe.
In front of him is a huge flat rock, more than ten feet square.
Gu Shengchao came here once, where Ding Ying practiced swordplay that night and spoke her innermost thoughts, which made him understand Ding Ying's thoughts.
Looking further ahead, there is a stone house on the roadside, carved into the cliff. The doors and windows of the stone house are dilapidated, obviously abandoned.
The mountain road next to the stone house winds into the distance, and the house hidden in the trees at the end of the mountain road is clearly visible.
Not knowing where Ding Ying was being held, Gu Shengchao slipped over quietly while carrying Wan Yanxi on his back.
As they walked forward, a light in a room was lit, and figures were reflected on the window paper.
Seeing no one around, Gu Shengchao came to the window first.
"Senior Sister Miao, the masters are going to execute Miss Ding Ying tonight, how can we help her?" Amei's very anxious voice came out.
"I'm also in a dilemma. Although the head master asked me to temporarily take over the affairs of Tianxuan Peak, my words are of little use. I even tried to plead for mercy during the day, but the head master scolded me so much that I couldn't do anything." Amiao. Sighed.
Amei walked a few steps in the room and said uneasily: "However, we were almost humiliated in the Sireng Kingdom. It was the ancient sage Brother Chao who saved us. Now that his wife is in trouble, we should also help."
