Anyone who is not stupid should be able to guess that the prince's death is related to Li Cangjue.
I'm afraid that the emperor has also thought of this.
If the emperor is smart, he will give the throne to Li Cangjue at this time.
After all, the military power of Tianyuan Kingdom was partly in the hands of her brother, but mostly in the hands of Li Cangjue.
With military power, people who are not stupid, and whose methods are very sharp, it is not easy for such a person to accomplish anything.
After Gu Qingying left, the killer from Yinmen climbed over the wall and entered the yard.
Then I went to find Li Jingyi.
If Li Jingyi wasn't familiar with Gu Qingying, she would have been deceived.
The killer pretending to be Gu Qingying is named Chen Susu. Although the name sounds gentle, he actually thinks he is a killer with extremely sharp methods.
Many people died at the hands of Chen Susu.
Li Jingyi walked around Chen Susu and said "tsk tsk" twice: "If you change it to someone who doesn't know Qingying very well, he will definitely be deceived. Your disguise skills are really good."
Chen Susu smiled softly and said: "Princess, you are so impressed. In order to be similar to the sect master, I learned every move of the sect master for three months."
From the tone of voice to the way Gu Qingying does things, she tried her best to imitate and learn everything, trying to be exactly the same as Gu Qingying.
Li Jingyi praised: "It's great. You can stay in Zhuangzi during this period. We will return to the imperial city in a few days. Then you just don't have to go out in the general's mansion."
As long as Gu Qingying doesn't go out, even if she does go out, as long as she doesn't meet her royal brother, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Gu Qingying went directly to Qingcheng where Gu Xiao was located.
This is also the place where Gu Xiao suppressed bandits.
The location of Qingcheng is actually far away from the Western Regions.
It's just that the direction is in the direction of the Western Region.
Ever since she and Wanyan Tiancheng left Tianyuan Kingdom, the main task of the Hidden Sect has been to collect all kinds of intelligence.
This is why we can find those Westerners who sneaked in from the Western Regions and disguised themselves as bandits.
Qingcheng was not very close, so Gu Qingying used her energy to rush forward again.
Gu Qingying worked hard on her way, but Gu Xiao ran into trouble in Qingcheng.
In the deep mountains about seventy or eighty miles away from Qingcheng, there are now only about thirty officers, soldiers and guards brought by Gu Xiao.
You know, he brought more than a hundred people with him before he came.
Unexpectedly, almost a hundred people were lost in just a few days.
Gu Xiao was also injured.
His shoulder was chopped with a knife, and the bones were visible in the flesh. If he hadn't brought space spring water with him and quickly cleaned the wound with the space spring water and bandaged it, he might have fainted.
Under the cliff, several officers and soldiers were patrolling nervously.
After Gu Xiao bandaged the wound, he endured the pain and counted the people.
I don't know if I can count them, but I found out that so many people were dead.
These are all his capable men!
Some of these officers and soldiers had not worked beside him before.
But in the past few days, we have also formed a deep relationship, and we are all brothers through life and death.
Leng Xiao, the personal guard who was following Gu Xiao, frowned and said, "Master, what should we do next?"
They are like lost dogs now. They are lucky to find this cliff to hide in.
Gu Xiao drank up the rest of the spiritual spring water and actually felt that the wound was not as painful as before.
Gu Xiao said: "A hundred miles away is the territory of the Cliff Gang. It will be difficult for us to escape."
I thought they were just some low-life bandits.
But he didn't expect that each of these bandits were serious about their lives. Even if they were injured, they would not retreat to the back to heal their injuries. Instead, they would fight for their lives, preferring to trade their lives for lives. The desperate look even made him feel a little nervous.
Only well-trained officers and soldiers on the battlefield can do this.
Because of this, they suffered so many casualties.
They were reckless this time and should not have led people directly into the mountains and forests to suppress bandits.
Leng Xiao was even more worried: "How about this, we cover the master when he goes out, and the master goes to move the reinforcements?"
These personal bodyguards, from the moment they were selected, were there to block the master's gun.
Gu Xiao shook his head and refused, and said with a very tough attitude: "The men of the Gu family would rather die in battle than become a deserter. My life is my life, isn't your life also my life? Don't say this again, I will not agree to it.
People escaped."
Although there are only about thirty people left, they have not lost yet.
As slaves, they regard their master's orders as ironclad orders from the moment they are born.
Gu Xiao rested for a while and felt much better.
He glanced at the brothers present and said, "We must have brought plenty of dry food!"
Leng Xiao quickly said: "There are still more. The godmother everyone brings can still last three days."
Gu Xiao stood up and suddenly made a decision. He called all thirty people over and said seriously: "I don't plan to leave. Since we are here to suppress bandits, we must finish what we should do."
Leng Xiao looked at Gu Xiao in surprise.
The other officers, soldiers and guards had different expressions.
Some have firm eyes, some are excited, and some are scared.
Gu Xiao saw everyone's reactions in his eyes.
I sighed in my heart, these officers and soldiers were arranged by the emperor, and they were not of the same mind as him.
It is understandable to want to retreat at this time.
But since he was sent to suppress bandits, even if he died here, he definitely couldn't be considered a deserter.
He continued: "The emperor trusted us when he arranged for us to come to suppress the bandits. We must not let down the emperor's trust. The top priority is to find a place to rest. There are so many of us and we have to pay attention to hiding. Fortunately, there are rolling mountains here.
, it’s not easy for those bandits to find us, and I guess they should block us on the road now.”
He won't go back.
Go the other way and stay in the mountains.
At this moment, he missed Gu Qingying's space extremely.
If Gu Qingying were here, things would be easier to handle!
Unfortunately, my sister is far away in Beiliang.
Gu Xiao didn't know about Gu Qingying's return and always thought that Gu Qingying was in Beiliang Kingdom.
Gu Qingying traveled day and night, and when he was tired, he went to the space to take a rest.
Anyway, there are a lot of horses in the space. When you get tired, you can switch to another horse and continue on the road without being affected at all.
Finally arrived in Qingcheng half a month later.
Qingcheng is not rich.
Because it is surrounded by rolling mountains, if this was not the main business route between the Western Region and Tianyuan, I am afraid this would be an inconspicuous small town.
Lu Qingying dressed up in disguise. She no longer looked like a girl, but a young man wearing brocade clothes.
Lu Qingying was very satisfied with her outfit.
Soon I found an inn in the city.
This inn is the property of the Shen family.
Gu Qingying placed a token representing the identity of the Shen family on the counter.
The shopkeeper's pupils shrank, and he immediately made a gesture of invitation, inviting Gu Qingying to go to the backyard.
The shopkeeper said excitedly: "Miss Cousin, why are you here?"
