Qiao Yan then said leisurely: "Young Master, there is no need to be anxious. Magistrate Tang just asked Master Gu for instructions tonight, and we can only go there the day after tomorrow."
Ming Lanruo was stunned and looked at Magistrate Tang.
Magistrate Tang glanced at Qiao Yan fearfully, wiped his sweat, and nodded: "Yes, yes... Master, please be patient, it will be bad if someone discovers our purpose."
People like Concubine Ming and Qiao Yan are still useful to him. He wants to use them to bring down General Gu. Of course, he hopes that they will stay safe for now and avoid causing trouble.
But this Qiao Yan didn't know what was going on. Today, on his first day here, he was forced to find the whereabouts of Duke Ming!
Duke Ming Guo was hidden by Tang Bijun. Even if he found a reason, he couldn't be so anxious on the first day!
Ming Lanruo took a breath: "I understand."
She was impatient.
While he was talking, someone suddenly knocked on the door impatiently: "Hey, brothers from the Qiao family, you are the captain of the team, please take care of the two people who are fighting in your team. They are so noisy. Brothers left for the whole day last night, so...
I want to rest early!"
Ming Lanruo frowned slightly, why are Jing and the others still "fighting"?
Qiao Yan glanced at Magistrate Tang, who immediately stood up and opened the door.
When the two people at the door saw Magistrate Tang, they were startled and saluted respectfully: "Sir!"
Magistrate Tang said with a cold face: "Get out!"
The two men had no choice but to leave in despair.
After saying that, he turned his fat face and frowned and said: "Master Gu is very strict in his rule. Even if we don't like each other in the village, we will only fight in the arena. You two should take care of your subordinates."
Ming Lanruo was silent for a while, then nodded: "I understand, let's deal with it now!"
Magistrate Tang didn't have much to say and told him to keep a low profile before leaving.
…
In the room at this end, Chen Ning had already stood up. While changing his clothes, he looked coldly at Jing He who was lying on the ground and trying to support his body.
"Why do you speak for me?"
Jing He rolled his eyes at him: "What else? It sounds more exciting to say I fucked you in the enemy camp?"
Chen Ning squinted his eyes. He had never seen such a woman who was more vicious than a man in his life!
But after a long time, he realized how a little girl without such gangsterism could fight her way through a military camp full of men.
But Jing He finally spoke for him, and Chen Ning stood up, took a piece of clothing and covered her body.
Jing He raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing? Give me clothes, why not give me the antidote!"
Chen Ning said angrily: "There is no antidote!"
I won’t give it to such a person!
But in the end it was just a fight, and she was still a colleague.
Chen Ning simply bent down and picked up Jing He, put him on the bed, and said coldly: "How can there be a shameless woman like you in the world who will never be able to get married!"
Jing He reluctantly moved his body and changed into a more comfortable position: "My sense of shame has never been based on the distinction between men and women. So what if you see all of me? I will lose a hair?"
Chen Ning was silent for a moment: "..."
In a sense, Jinghe is right.
She said expressionlessly: "Why should a woman be unclean if she is seen by a man?"
"Even if you fall in love with me, to me it's just like being stabbed with a knife. People who hurt others don't feel ashamed, so why should the person who was stabbed feel ashamed?"
Whether it is a chastity memorial or a slut-shaming, they are just shackles given to women by men. Why should she care?
She has excellent bones and has practiced martial arts for many years. Is it to give birth to children for men, take care of housework, and mark herself as a man's property?
fart!
Jing He closed his eyes indifferently and began to exercise his energy and breath, forcing the medicinal properties out of his body.
In addition to protecting the safety of the eldest lady, her pursuit in this life is to cultivate to the highest level of martial arts and become the best swordsman in the world!
Warriors are men and women!
The world can never bind her sword!
Chen Ning stared blankly at Jing He who was doing exercises to detoxify on the bed. He had never seen such a persistent and indifferent woman.
This was the first time he realized that Jinghe was neither reckless nor stupid.
She knows everything, but her beliefs are pure and simple - she only lives for her own pursuit and mission.
It's like the fastest knife on the battlefield.
The knife is for killing and for protection.
Knife, how can there be any difference and shame between men and women?
That's why she dared to fight with him - she was stripped naked and hung up! She even spit on you!
After being humiliated, as long as she doesn't die, her knife will sooner or later be used by the person who humiliated her. The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out!
Chen Ning narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him. This was the first time he looked at her squarely——
This woman cannot be defined by the world.
The soul of a warrior, loyal and courageous, and proud. Such a person is worthy of a high look whether he is an enemy or a companion.
He suddenly stretched out his fingertips and flicked it, and a stream of odorless green smoke passed by the tip of Jinghe's nose.
Jing He immediately realized that his body could move.
She looked at Chen Ning indifferently: "Why are you willing to give me the antidote?"
Chen Ning did not answer, but suddenly said: "I promise you in the name of the Young Commander of the Six Provinces of the Central Red Blood Province that I will not reveal anything back to the Red Blood Headquarters without the permission of the eldest lady."
Jinghe jumped up like a carp, put on his clothes, and coldly snorted: "You'd better keep your word."
Chen Ning turned around, tied up her long hair, and said calmly: "I never lie to my brothers. There are not many brothers I recognize."
For the first time, Jinghe's baby face showed a look of confusion, and he snorted awkwardly: "It's best like this."
She knew that the man surnamed Chen looked easy to get along with, but in fact he was very aloof at heart. After a fight, he actually recognized her as his brother, so he was a bit discerning.
Traveling around the world and wandering around the world, the most important thing is loyalty and brothers!
But at that time, the two people, who were neither fighting nor talking to each other, did not think that brothers were meant to be used to... well, there was an old saying that was meant to be used as a trap.
"Okay, don't say that I don't take care of my brother. I'll give you half of the bed." Jing He snorted again.
Chen Ning looked at the baby-faced girl and raised his eyebrows with a sneer: "This bed was originally mine."
Jinghe didn't argue with him this time. He glanced at him lazily and prepared to go out to find food.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, he saw Ming Lanruo standing at the door. He didn't know how long he had been standing there.
Jinghe was stunned: "Miss..."
When Chen Ning heard this, he immediately came over. He was very attentive, and he roughly knew what was going on when he looked at the other guards poking their heads in the corridor.
As soon as Ming Lanruo entered the room, she looked at them coldly: "Have you had enough trouble?"
"Sorry, I will not act like this again and cause trouble to the young master." Chen Ning's handsome face looked solemn and he knelt down on one knee.
Jing He also knelt down on one knee in a depressed tone: "It was my subordinate who took action against Chen Ning first..."
"Now that you have reconciled, I don't want to pursue who made the first move. In the enemy's camp, internal strife is a stupid act. I think you know very well that there won't be a next time!" Ming Lanruo interrupted her with a sharp look.
"Yes!" Jing He and Chen Ning responded in unison.
Ming Lanruo asked again: "Do you want to meet Sister Hong, someone from the Song and Tang Dynasties?"
Jing He and Chen Ning looked at each other and shook their heads.
Ming Lanruo pondered for a moment: "Don't worry, I will go to the dungeon the next day. You guys should walk around the city for a while first and leave the joint marks."
"Yes!" The two of them clasped their fists and saluted honestly.
…
Ming Lanruo then turned around and returned to her room again.
Qiao Yan was looking at a topographical map that he didn't know where he came from. When he heard that she was back, he didn't even raise his eyes, and just mentioned something faintly——
"Master Gu is the former General Gu of the Red Blood Army. Most of the people in this village are Red Blood orphans. Unlike the ragtag bandits in Changbai Mountain, the young master still restrains his bodyguards."
Ming Lanruo knew that today in the living room of the main house, Master Gu told him that Marshal Xiao had married him on the fingertips of his body.
Qiao Yan should know that the head of the Gu family is General Gu.
Even... with Dongchang and Jinyiwei's intelligence network, maybe he would have known the true situation in Gujiazhai.
So, would he have guessed that her purpose in coming to the mountain was to clean up the family? Did he know that she had long been connected with Red Blood?
But he didn't talk much, and neither did she.
They are all on different roads from each other, moving forward silently and with heavy burdens.
Regardless of whether he really didn't know or knew but didn't reveal it, since he didn't say anything, she also remained silent.
She nodded lightly: "I know, I was not strict this time."
She always cared about her father, so she was careless in not paying attention to Chen Ning and Jing He.
"I'll go order some dinner and let's eat together." Ming Lanruo thought for a while and then said.
Looking at Ming Lanruo's graceful figure as she left, Qiao Yan put away the topographical map and suddenly said: "Xinsu."
A black figure suddenly jumped in from the window like a ghost, knelt on one knee and said, "Master!"
Qiao Yan ordered: "Have people keep an eye on Gu Er. If there is anything unusual about him, report it immediately."
"Yes." Xinsu clasped his fists.
Just as he was about to leave, Qiao Yan suddenly asked quietly: "If I don't touch my body or come into contact with the 'source of fire', there won't be any problems, right?"
Xinsu's scalp tightened and he said tremblingly: "It's best not to be in the same room."
What else could be the source of fire that could set me on fire? It must be Concubine Ming.
Qiao Yan closed his eyes and breathed out gently: "I understand, you can go ahead. Remember to prepare a bucket of cold water tonight."
Don’t look at it, don’t touch it, don’t think about it, don’t think about it, cultivate your moral character, and avoid going crazy, just recite some Taoist mental methods.
Changing rooms... He didn't feel comfortable leaving the little lady alone.
Xinsu squatted on the window and watched his master, the old monk, enter samadhi, and was very moved.
Master, it’s really not easy to get a little sexual happiness in this life.
…
Time passed by and it was the third night.
Magistrate Tang took Qiao Yan, Ming Lanruo and two other guards to the dungeon.
As soon as he reached the door of the dungeon, Magistrate Tang saw a gentle figure standing there.
"Wenyuan, why are you here?" Magistrate Tang was a little puzzled.
Gu Wenyuan saluted him: "I heard that Uncle Tang wanted to go to the dungeon to select some death row prisoners to bring back to worship Liu Xian, so my father asked his nephew to accompany him."
"No need to go to such trouble." The fat on Tang Zhifu's face trembled, and he quietly guessed Gu Er's true intention.
When he entered and exited the dungeon before, he only needed to say hello to Master Gu.
Why did Mr. Gu send Wenyuan here this time?
Gu Wenyuan smiled and said: "No trouble, aren't you just accompanying your uncle?"
As he spoke, his eyes slid over Ming Lanruo's face with unclear meaning.
Ming Lanruo suddenly became wary. She lowered her eyes coldly and looked at the ground, not even looking at Gu Er.
Her cold and resistant look made Gu Wenyuan feel itchy in his heart.
He smiled and motioned to the dungeon guard to open the door: "Let's go, Uncle Tang."
Don't be in a hurry. Once underground, that's his territory. He has a lot of time to make Xiao Qiao obey.
Qiao Yan suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at him.
Gu Wenyuan didn't know what was wrong, he just felt a chill on his back.
There is a dangerous feeling, as if being stared at by a beast hidden in the dark.
