Sheng Guoer suddenly remembered a person and said, "This person may be able to help you!"
"who?"
"Nangong Yuchen!"
"He...can he do it?" Xiao Tao said a little worriedly.
Sheng Guoer shrugged helplessly: "How will you know if you don't try it?"
Hearing this, He Wanrong no longer objected, so he nodded.
The next day, Sheng Guoer took Xiao Tao to Nangong Mansion.
Naturally, the guard of Nangong's house knew Sheng Guo'er, so he didn't stop her. However, Sheng Guo'er didn't dare to rush into Nangong's house, but sent someone to report it first.
Someone soon came to lead her into the inner courtyard. At this moment, in the main residence of the Nangong family, Nangong Yueyi and Nangong Yuchen were discussing some state affairs. At this time, the housekeeper from the outer courtyard came over.
"Second Young Master, there is a young lady named Sheng Guoer outside who wants to see you."
Hearing the words 'Sheng Guoer', Nangong Yuchen was stunned for a moment: "Why is she here?"
Nangong Yueyi said calmly: "Since you are a guest, please come in!"
The housekeeper stepped back, and after a moment, he saw Sheng Guoer walking in with Xiao Tao.
"Miss Sheng, why are you free to come to our house today?" Nangong Yuchen frowned slightly.
"Mr. Nangong..." Sheng Guoer called softly as she looked at the incomparably handsome man in front of her, with a hint of complicated emotions hidden in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Yuchen asked, "What's wrong with Miss Sheng?"
"I..." Sheng Guoer bit her lip and plucked up the courage to say, "I... I want to talk to you alone."
"Talk to me alone?"
"Yes!" Sheng Guoer nodded firmly. She knew it was inappropriate for her to do this, but for Wanrong, she had to take a risk.
"Miss Sheng..." Nangong Yueyi stopped him: "I don't know what can be said between my second brother and Miss Sheng."
"I..." Sheng Guoer pursed her lips, looked up at Nangong Yueyi, and said sincerely: "I want the second young master to save He Wanrong."
Hearing this, Nangong Yueyi pondered for a moment: "In that case, please ask the second brother and Miss Sheng to move to the study."
After saying this, Nangong Yueyi turned around and ordered her servants to prepare tea and cakes.
"Thank you, Mr. Nangong." Sheng Guoer bowed sincerely.
After waiting for a while, Nangong Yuchen followed Sheng Guoer to the study room.
"Mr. Nangong, do you know about Miaojiang Gu insects?" Xiao Tao asked.
Nangong Yuchen raised his eyebrows: "I know."
Sheng Guoer continued: "He Wanrong has been poisoned. I would like you to take a look at her to see if she has been infected by a poisonous insect."
When Nangong Yuchen heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes, but he soon returned to calm, and he nodded slightly: "Okay."
Nangong Yuchen said: "Let's go to He Mansion to have a look."
After arriving at He Mansion, Nangong Yuchen carefully checked He Wanrong's tongue coating and pupils. Nangong Yuchen said, "It has been two months since He Wanrong was poisoned."
"What?" Sheng Guoer was shocked.
"Yes." Nangong Yuchen said with certainty, "It has been two months since he was poisoned."
"Then... can my body be saved?" He Wanrong looked at him expectantly: "I have never left the capital. I have no idea that I was poisoned, and I don't know what kind of poison I was poisoned."
"I just checked for the girl. You should be poisoned by poison. This kind of poison is invisible, colorless and traceless. The poisoned person will gradually weaken and die after four months."
"Ah?" Sheng Guoer covered her mouth in shock.
"Miss Sheng, this kind of Gu insect is generally understood only by Gu masters, and it will attack every five hours, and every time it attacks, the poisoned person will be in extreme pain, making life worse than death and vomiting."
Nangong Yuchen's voice was cold and emotionless.
Sheng Guoer felt a chill go down her spine.
"In this world, except for the Gu Master, is there no other way to get rid of the poison?"
Nangong Yuchen glanced at her lightly, his tone was neither salty nor bland, but Sheng Guoer always felt that he seemed to be mocking her.
"The only Gu Master in the world is in Beiling. I think if Miss Sheng goes to Beiling, she might have a chance to meet him."
"Beiling!" Sheng Guoer's eyes widened in surprise. She once secretly heard Hu Yanxin mention Beiling. It is said that Beiling is located in the deep mountains and is surrounded by miasma all year round. Moreover, all the people living there are extremely vicious criminal thieves. His Majesty the Emperor has nothing to do with them.
"I can't go." Sheng Guoer refused.
"Why can't you go?" Nangong Yuchen asked in surprise.
Sheng Guoer smiled bitterly: "Beiling is full of dangers. If you go there, you will never come back."
"Oh?" Nangong Yuchen raised the corners of his lips: "Is Miss Sheng afraid?"
"I..." Sheng Guoer lowered his head.
"Don't worry, our Nangong family has no shortage of guards. If you don't mind, I can arrange a few people to protect you." Nangong Yuchen said indifferently.
"Then I'll trouble you." Sheng Guoer breathed a sigh of relief. She was now isolated and could only rely on the Nangong family.
"You're welcome." He Wanrong said unbearably: "Sister Guo'er is so dangerous, why do you take risks for me?"
Sheng Guoer touched He Wanrong's head tenderly and said, "Silly girl, you forgot, I said I would take care of you!"
When He Wanrong heard this, the tip of her nose felt sour. She held Sheng Guoer's hand and said, "Thank you, sister Guoer."
"Don't be so polite."
Sheng Guoer said at this time: "Please come over here!"
"Yes!" Xiao Tao agreed and hurried out of the study.
He Wanrong held Sheng Guoer's hand worriedly: "Sister Guoer, what are you going to do? You must not hurt yourself!"
Sheng Guoer patted He Wanrong's hand: "Don't worry, I have my own plan."
Xiaotao quickly called Hu Yanxin over.
Sheng Guoer directly explained the purpose of his visit. After hearing this, Sheng Guoer burst into tears and said to Wanrong, "Sister Guoer, you are so kind, you actually want to save me."
"Of course I want to save you, you are my closest friend."
He Wanrong held Sheng Guoer's hand tightly, as if she would disappear if he let go.
"Sister Guo'er, are you really willing to save me?"
"Well, we are all friends."
He Wanrong burst into tears and smiled: "Well, I will treat you as my closest friend forever."
Hu Yanxin said, "Sister, what do you want me to do?" Sheng Guoer told Hu Yanxin her intention and task, but Nangong Yuchen didn't expect Hu Yanxin to agree so quickly.
"Miss He, I hope you can cooperate." Hu Yanxin stared at He Wanrong seriously.
He Wanrong nodded and said, "I understand, as long as my sister can be saved, I will definitely cooperate."
Hu Yanxin said: "I can save you, but you must help us rescue Meng Xingzhou together."
Who is Meng Xingzhou? He Wanrong asked him curiously.
"The eldest grandson of the Meng family."
"It turns out it's him." He Wanrong suddenly realized: "Is he being imprisoned?"
"Yes, he was arrested. I don't know where he is. He has been detained for three days now. If you can help us, I will definitely rescue him." Hu Yanxin said seriously.
"Okay, I'll help you." He Wanrong nodded.
Hu Yanxin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this: "Then you go back and rest first. Remember, you must not tell anyone about this matter."
He Wanrong nodded solemnly: "I understand, don't worry, I will keep it secret."
Beiling, towering and stretching, looks murderous.
Hu Yanxin and the guards at Nangong's family looked at the scenes in front of them and thought that Beiling was murderous, and it was true.
"Master Huyan, this is the route map into Beiling. Please follow the location marked on the map to find the Gu Master."
"I see."
Hu Yanxin led the guards of the Nangong family towards the instruction map.
"Master Huyan." A masked man in black clothes suddenly jumped out from behind the bushes.
"Who?" Hu Yanxin looked at him warily.
The man in black snorted coldly: "I am the one who is here to send you to the West."
"Bold maniac!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow shot at the man in black.
The man in black quickly avoided the arrows, then pulled out the sword from his waist and rushed forward to fight with the Nangong family guards.
"Be careful!" Nangong Yuchen suddenly shouted.
The man in black took advantage of the chaos and hid in the grass. Then he suddenly slashed at Hu Yanxin with a knife. A cold light flashed across the darkness. Hu Yanxin was agile and easily avoided the attack of the man in black. At the same time, he stabbed him in the chest with his backhand. chest.
The man in black was forced to take a few steps back. His face was covered by black cloth, and his exposed eyes flashed with a fierce look. He waved his sword and attacked again, while Hu Yanxin avoided his moves with ease.
Suddenly, the man in black swung out the sword in his hand with great force. Hu Yanxin was caught off guard and was pierced through the shoulder. The blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
"The master is injured!"
"Someone come quickly!"
The Nangong family members immediately surrounded Hu Yanxin and started fighting with the man in black.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black turned around and ran away.
"Where to run!" Hu Yanxin shouted angrily.
However, the man in black got into the ground strangely.
"Damn, chase!" Hu Yanxin said through gritted teeth.
…
Deep in the North Ridge, four people stood on the edge of a cliff several meters high. An old man in white clothes looked at the abyss shrouded in clouds and waves, and said to a young man in green clothes wearing a mask: "Young Master, these people have great martial arts skills!"
The young man was the Gu Master that Hu Yanxin and others were looking for. He raised his eyes and looked at the other end of the cliff, and visually estimated that the distance was about five hundred meters.
"Young Master, are you sure they will come from this way?"
"It will definitely come." The young man said firmly: "This is the only passage to the outside world."
The old man in white frowned: "Since they know this secret passage, they still dare to come here to find the Gu Master. Aren't they afraid of death?"
The young man in green pondered for a moment and said, "There are always people in this world who are not afraid of life and death."
The old man in white sighed. He had followed the young master for two years and knew that although the young master was young, he was extremely smart. It's just that his character is a bit uncertain.
"Young Master, I think this matter is not that simple." The old man in white said: "They broke into the depths of Beiling without any danger along the way, and even arrived here smoothly. It is obviously not simple."
The young man was silent for a long time and then said slowly: "They came to Beiling. No matter what their plans are, I just need to take advantage of them."
The old man in white nodded: "Young Master is wise."
The young man narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
