On the second night when Gu Ling returned to the capital and stayed at Yuci Changxinhou's Mansion, the people who were ordered to keep an eye on him finally noticed something moving.

It wasn't that Gu Ling did anything, but that someone came to find him.

"Gu Ling!"

Judging from the voice, the person who came was a young man. He was standing outside and called Gu Ling, but did not approach the door of his room.

The people watching immediately held their breath and listened with their ears pricked up.

It was late at night, Gu Ling had not rested yet, the lamp was still lit in the room, and he was repairing the medical book that he tore in half when he was in Sujiacun.

Su Liang's complaint was correct. Gu Ling left that night and went to Feiyan Town. He wanted to see Su Liang again, so he turned around and returned to the village. He did not disturb Su Liang, but in order to prevent Su Liang from suddenly

When she woke up and found him, Gu Ling took the tattered book in his hand and planned to use it as an excuse. In the end, Gu Ling stared at Su Liang's sleeping face for a long time, and did not leave until it was almost dark, taking the book with him.

Hearing the sound, Gu Ling put the book away and hid it, stood up, opened the door, stood under the eaves, and looked at the person coming.

The cold moon is like frost.

The person who came was wearing a black robe, and his figure could not be seen clearly. He wore a silver mask on his face. Only one eye was opened on the mask. The eyes were dim and unclear, and the position of the other eye was covered.

Gu Ling's face was half-lit, but still stunningly beautiful, looking like a demon or a fairy in the dark night.

The visitor made another sound, a cold snort, "Are you Gu Ling?"

Gu Ling looked at him indifferently, "Are you sick?"

The person watching in the dark twitched his lips. He thought it was Nian Jincheng or someone else related to Gu Ling, but after asking questions, it was obvious that they didn't know him at all.

The visitor snorted coldly again, "My master has invited me, Gu Hou, please come with me!"

"Who?" Gu Ling spoke concisely and to the point.

The visitor suddenly let out a strange laugh, "A woman you will never refuse."

The surveillance person's eyes widened, woman? Gu Ling wouldn't refuse?

Gu Ling once again issued a soul torture, "Are you sick?"

The visitor narrowed his eyes slightly, "Don't you want to meet your only friend?"

Gu Ling remained calm and asked another question, "Who?"

"Gu Hou knows best who his only friend is. It was my master who helped Gu Hou save him with good intentions and has been waiting to hand him over to Gu Hou safely." The visitor laughed and said, "Gu Hou, let's go?"

My master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Gu Ling already knew that it was Yan Shiqi who came. They had dealt with him before, and although Yan Shiqi deliberately disguised his voice this time, when he laughed, the sinister aura could not be concealed.

The last time Su Liang saw Yan Shiba was a few months ago. At that time, Yan Shiba had just returned from the Yan Kingdom and was seriously injured. He claimed that Yan Shiqi died trying to save her.

But Gu Ling was sure that this was Yan Shiqi, and the "master" he mentioned naturally meant Yan Shiba.

However, Gu Ling believes that Yan Shiba, who has not shown up for a long time, may be controlled by Yan Shiqi now. Otherwise, it must be Yan Shiba who comes tonight, and he will not make excuses for Nian Jincheng. Gu Ling

Knowing where Nian Jincheng was, it was natural for him to know that Yan Qiqi was setting up a trap to lure him to other places, and there could be no good intentions.

However, Gu Ling did not expose Yan Shiqi. Knowing that Duanmu Yi sent people to monitor him, since Yan Shiqi took the initiative to mention that Yan Shiba saved Nian Jincheng, Gu Ling just followed the trend and confirmed the matter.

Dispel Duanmu Yi's suspicion.

"Let your master come to see me." Gu Ling looked indifferent.

Yan Shiqi hummed, "If Marquis Gu cares about the safety of his friends, then come with me quickly. Although the master has promised not to embarrass you, he has also promised that he must see you tonight."

Gu Ling shook her head slightly, "Let her come to see me."

Yan Shiqi's voice dropped, "Gu Hou, don't give me a toast or eat as a penalty! Make me be rude to you!"

"Go back and tell your master that if you want to see me, bring Nian Jincheng over." Gu Ling turned around and went back to his room.

Before Gu Ling closed the door, Yan Shiqi moved his steps and hit him with his palm!

Gu Ling slapped her backhand and stood firm in her original position, but Yan Qiqi staggered two steps back before standing still, his eyes were horrified, "I didn't expect that the rumored Gu Meiren was actually an unknown master!

If that's the case, why don't you dare to go with me?"

"Let your master come and talk to me." After Gu Ling finished speaking, he closed the door heavily.

Yan Qiqi stood quietly in the courtyard, looking at his only remaining hand, his eyes filled with hatred. Gu Ling was more beautiful than the rumors said, but what he never expected was that Gu Ling was actually not as strong as he was.

Above him! Fortunately, he was cautious when he came and decided to test it first. If he took action directly, it would be difficult for him to escape intact!

Yan Qiqi glanced coldly at Gu Ling's door again, then disappeared into the night.

Another quarter of an hour later, Gu Ling's room became dark, and the people who were spying on him left Changxinhou's Mansion and headed towards the palace when the replacement came.

Duanmu Yi had told him that if anything unusual happened to Gu Ling, he would be reported to him immediately no matter how late it was.

It was already late at night, and Duanmu Yi looked surprised when he heard the report, "Isn't it the person he specially arranged to put on a show to make up his lies?"

The secret guard didn't dare to answer.

Duanmu Yi thought thoughtfully, "Woman? The one who rescued Nian Jincheng's brother and sister that time was indeed a woman. If it was arranged by Gu Ling, he should go with him tonight, and then it would be logical for Nian Jincheng to show up. You say, Gu Ling

Is he a master?"

The secret guard was not sure, "If I go back to the emperor, I am afraid of being discovered, so I stay far away. I only saw Gu Hou exchanging palms with the man, and the man took two steps back and did not make any more moves. What is Gu Hou's strength?"

Subordinates do not dare to make rash judgments."

But in fact, Duanmu Yi was not surprised that Gu Ling knew martial arts. If he was really just a weak and beautiful woman, he would not have been able to disappear without a trace.

Gu Ling had lived in Huguo Temple for a long time. After he left, Master Puhui, the abbot of Huguo Temple, was questioned by Duanmu Yi. He told the truth that he had a friend who was an eminent monk who traveled far and wide and was interested in Gu Ling's qualifications.

, accepted him as his disciple and taught Kung Fu.

This point, viewed from another angle, can be the reason why Gu Ling has survived until now without colluding with anyone and just relying on himself.

Compared with Gu Ling, who was a master himself, Duanmu Yi was more afraid of colluding with others and having the intention of treason.

"He refused to follow him out of caution. If there really was a woman who rescued Nian Jincheng, and Nian Jincheng is still in her hands now, and if Gu Lingfu had sent someone to invite him as soon as he showed up..." Duanmu Yi calmed down and looked at it.

What happened tonight made me feel that Gu Ling's behavior was rational and not suspicious at all. "It seems that that woman is probably Gu Ling's admirer."

Things have developed to this point, and after sorting out all the known information, the "truth" Duanmu Yi speculated can only be: a mysterious woman fell in love with Gu Ling, but could not find him. She had previously learned that Gu Ling's friend Nian Jin

Cheng was caught, so he rescued Nian Jincheng, maybe because he wanted to know Gu Ling's whereabouts from Nian Jincheng, but to no avail after so long, either Nian Jincheng didn't know where Gu Ling was, or Nian Jincheng didn't know where Gu Ling was.

Jincheng knew about it but refused to confess, so until now the woman had contacted Gu Ling, but she didn't show up, and sent someone to try to use Nian Jincheng to lure Gu Ling over to meet...

A mysterious woman with great martial arts skills wants to get Gu Ling...Anyone else, this point would seem too far-fetched or even outrageous because there is no evidence. But what happened to Gu Ling is completely reasonable, and his face is the evidence. Even Duanmu Yi

Believe it all.

"You guys keep watching, don't act rashly first, let's see what he will do." Duanmu Yi felt that it was impossible for Gu Ling to ignore Nian Jincheng, "Send extra manpower. If a woman shows up, catch her!"

…

On the other side, Yan Shiqi has gone back to see Yan Shiba.

Seeing that Yan Shiqi didn't catch Hui Ling, Yan Shiba started to ridicule him.

Yan Shiqi was silent for a long time, as if he hadn't heard anything. When Yan Shiba was tired of scolding and was about to go to sleep, Yan Shiqi suddenly said, "Gu Ling is very powerful. Didn't you already know that? You guys know each other, right?"

When? Where?"

Yan Shiba's eyes that had just been closed opened again, and he looked at Yan Shiqi and laughed, "Of course...in the dream...hahahaha! You saw Gu Ling with your own eyes and were defeated by him, why did you

Do you still have the nerve to live?"

Yan Shiqi snorted coldly, "I don't believe he would ignore Nian Jincheng!"

"But you don't have Nian Jincheng in your hand." Yan Shiba sneered, "I know where he is. If you stab yourself, I'll tell you!"

Yan Shiqi's face turned cold, "Don't you want to see Gu Ling?"

Yan Shiba smiled coquettishly, "Seventeen, can you wake up a little? I advise you not to provoke Gu Ling anymore. You are just humiliating yourself. I really feel sorry for you."

Hearing this, Yan Shiqi snorted coldly, "Just wait!" and left after saying that.

Yan Shiba lay down and sighed quietly, "I like people who are beautiful and good at martial arts..." As he spoke, his voice suddenly lowered, his eyes became gentle, and he said three words inaudibly, "Little monk.

"

…

Early the next morning, Duanmu Yi went to court and received the report, and Marquis Changxin asked to see him.

Duanmu Yi had an intuition that it was related to what happened last night, so he summoned Gu Ling in the imperial study room.

What happened next surprised Duanmu Yi. Gu Ling truthfully explained that someone went to find him last night, which was exactly the same as what the secret guard said. Finally, he made his request, hoping that Duanmu Yi could arrange for someone to rescue Nian Jincheng.

"How do you think Marquis Changxin should save him?" Duanmu Yi asked calmly.

Gu Ling narrowed her eyes and said, "Seal the city gate and search the whole city."

Duanmu Yi's eyes were deep, "Now is the time to employ people. If something happens to Nian Aiqing, it's not what I want to see. In that case, it's up to you. How many manpower do you need to do this?

I'm sure."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Ling thanked him and left the palace. Not long after, Lin Bojun came with his troops and was ordered to do his bidding.

In broad daylight, the city gates of the capital were suddenly closed, and the people were confused and panicked.
