Nangong Moyuan snorted coldly, then spit out a mouthful of blood on Gu Tingyu's body, and then said sternly: "Gu, I, Nangong Moyuan, will never let you go!"
After saying that, Nangong Moyuan turned around and ran away.
After Nangong Moyuan left, Gu Tingyu let go of his hand, patted his clothes in disgust, and muttered: "Disgusting!"
Gu Tingyu returned to the house, glanced at the blood stains on his sleeves, and couldn't help but frown.
No, he must get that jade pendant back quickly. He must not let Leng Shuang take this thing away.
Gu Tingyu sat on the chair and carefully recalled how Leng Shuang's grandfather obtained this thing.
Back then, Leng Shuang's grandfather was the eldest son and grandson of the Leng family. When he was guarding the border, he once encountered a group of robbers on the road. He tried his best to protect his sister from escaping, but he was eventually killed by random arrows and was about to die.
On this occasion, he gave this jade pendant to Leng Shuang's father.
The owner of this jade pendant back then was the current royal family of the Northern Yan Kingdom.
I originally thought that the secret of this jade pendant would never be discovered, but now it seems that the secret is still known.
What he is worried about now is what those people want to do and what do they want?
Is it really like Lao Ba said that this jade pendant is a hot potato and they want to destroy it?
Thinking of this, the figure of a girl suddenly appeared in Gu Tingyu's mind.
Although he didn't know who this girl was over the years, he always had a vague feeling that there was some kind of connection between this girl and this girl.
Maybe this jade pendant can help him find out about this matter.
Gu Tingyu calmed down and called Leng Qiuhan: "Go get my pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Leng Qiuhan glanced at the things on the table, and then reminded in a low voice: "General, what do you want those things for at this time?"
"Shut up! Do what I say right now!" Gu Tingyu glared at Leng Qiuhan: "If you can't do it right, I'll ask you!"
"Yes, yes," Leng Qiuhan didn't dare to say more, and then immediately retreated.
Soon Leng Qiuhan walked in holding a few pieces of paper: "General."
Gu Tingyu immediately picked up the pieces of paper and spread them out, then drew some lines on the side, circled one of the jade pendants, handed it to Leng Qiuhan, and said, "Go find a craftsman to carve this jade pendant right away. You must do it as soon as possible."
It’s done, at least two-thirds of it is done.”
Leng Qiuhan looked at Gu Tingyu in confusion: "General, where are the experts in this field in our house?"
"Don't worry about this, just finish the pattern." Gu Tingyu said indifferently.
"But general, if someone else sees this jade pendant, wouldn't it be..." Leng Qiuhan said hesitantly: "This jade pendant represents the royal family. If someone else discovers it, it will probably cause an uproar!"
After hearing Leng Qiuhan's words, Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you afraid that the royal family will chase me? Don't worry, even if they really come after me, I won't be afraid."
When Leng Qiuhan heard Gu Tingyu's words, he immediately stopped talking. He had no choice but to agree and left in a hurry. Now he urgently needed to find some powerful craftsmen to carve this jade pendant successfully.
Gu Tingyu stood by the window blankly. He looked at the sky outside the window and didn't know what he was thinking.
"who are you……"
"Who are you..." Gu Tingyu murmured.
As night fell, the entire capital fell into silence, with only patrolling soldiers walking back and forth.
"General, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Leng Shuang put a cup of tea next to Gu Tingyu and said softly.
"I..." Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang, his eyes flashing, and then said: "I just dreamed of someone..."
"Oh." Leng Shuang said lightly, and then continued to drink his tea.
Gu Tingyu gave Leng Shuang a strange look.
, and then said: "You don't seem interested?"
Leng Shuang nodded: "I'm not very interested. After all, it doesn't matter who the person in the dream is."
"..." Gu Tingyu was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "I also hope it was a dream, but it's a pity that that person was not just a dream, but a nightmare."
Leng Shuang raised her head and looked at Gu Tingyu, her eyes a little confused.
"I once heard with my own ears that my father died at their hands, and he was brutally killed. I will never forgive them in this life!"
"..." Leng Shuang didn't understand what Gu Tingyu was talking about, she just stayed by his side quietly.
Gu Tingyu glanced at Leng Shuang: "Okay, you don't need to worry about these things, just take care of the old lady."
"General, I understand." Leng Shuang said obediently.
"General, this is the ginseng soup that the old lady ordered the slave to bring. She said it is good for your illness." Leng Shuang brought over a bowl of dark soup.
Gu Tingyu took it and drank it without hesitation, leaving not a drop left.
"Please step back first." Gu Tingyu waved his hand, indicating that Leng Shuang could leave.
"Yes." Leng Shuang said respectfully.
After Leng Shuang went out, Gu Tingyu cast his eyes on the painting. He slowly stroked the jade pendant, as if he saw another person through the jade pendant.
This jade pendant was passed down from Southern Xinjiang. It is said that it was left by the King of Southern Xinjiang. He has been wearing the jade pendant on his body for these years, but for some reason, it broke today for no reason, and his chest felt tight.
the pain..
This was something that had never happened before. Even when he was poisoned and lost his memory, he never felt like this.
But today, his heart felt like a needle prick, as if something was missing.
At this time, inside the palace.
"Your Majesty, General Gu has dealt with all those people and told me the whereabouts of the jade pendant."
The emperor's face turned dark instantly.
"What I want is to be foolproof. You must not make any mistakes. You must handle this matter well!"
"yes!"
After Gu Tingyu handed over the jade pendant, the emperor gave it to his son, Gu Jingheng.
Gu Jingheng was the emperor's most beloved son, so the emperor gave this jade pendant to Gu Jingheng as a compensation to the mother and son.
But the emperor didn't expect that Gu Jingheng would betray him.
Of course, the emperor would not believe that Gu Jingheng would betray him, but he thought that Gu Jingheng must have known about it.
Since Gu Jingheng was unwilling to tell the whereabouts of the jade pendant, he wanted to see what Gu Jingheng was going to do!
Gu Tingyu has always felt that something is not right these days, but he can't tell exactly what is wrong. Moreover, Gu Tingyu also noticed that his martial arts skills were gradually recovering, which made Gu Tingyu breathe a sigh of relief.
He still cares about his own life. After all, he has a special status. If he really dies, the entire Gu family will probably suffer, and it may even affect the entire Jin Dynasty.
"General, are you used to sleeping tonight?" Leng Shuang said softly.
"Well, it's okay." Gu Tingyu replied lightly.
In fact, there was no incense burner or incense in this room as he imagined. The room was filled with a faint smell of sandalwood. Gu Tingyu felt very uncomfortable after smelling this smell for a long time.
"Leng Shuang, please go out first. I'll rest for a while." Gu Tingyu rubbed his brow, then leaned on the soft couch and closed his eyes.
Leng Shuang glanced at Gu Tingyu, then turned and walked out, closing the door behind her.
After Leng Shuang left, Gu Tingyu opened his eyes, then sat upright and pulled out a confidential letter from under the pillow. This confidential letter recorded some things. Gu Tingyu read it carefully before closing it.
Got the secret letter.
The next morning, Leng Shuang waited for Gu Tingyu to finish washing, and then said: "General, what are you going to do today?"
Where to go? Let me help you prepare."
Gu Tingyu glanced at the breakfast spread on the table, and then said, "Have you eaten?"
"My slave has eaten." Leng Shuang lowered her head and said.
"You have been with me for five years, and I have never prepared breakfast for you. You should sit down and eat first." Gu Tingyu said slowly. Although his tone was calm, he could not hide his disappointment.
Leng Shuang gritted her teeth, then lowered her head and said, "Thank you, general. I'll go get ready now."
"What's your name?" Gu Tingyu suddenly asked.
Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Slave Leng Shuang, this is the name given to me by people in my hometown."
"Leng Shuang." Gu Tingyu murmured, and then said: "You go out first, I will call you later."
"Yes." Leng Shuang lowered her head and said.
After Leng Shuang left, Gu Tingyu opened the sealed letter and read it carefully.
The content of the secret letter was very simple. It only said that the jade pendant was on his body and asked him to return to southern Xinjiang immediately.
Gu Tingyu frowned, and then put the confidential letter into his arms. He needed to think about this matter. Nowadays, his leg problems were getting more and more frequent, and he was worried that someone would take the opportunity to attack him.
"General." Leng Shuang came over, took the brush in Gu Tingyu's hand, and wrote a few lines of words on the paper.
"General, please accept this letter." Leng Shuang handed the letter in his hand to Gu Tingyu.
"You maid..." Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows.
Leng Shuang smiled and said: "General, if you dislike the slave's clumsiness, then the general can replace the slave, and the slave is willing to leave the general's mansion."
"You..." Gu Tingyu paused and said, "That's it, I'll accept it. Don't do this next time."
"yes."
Leng Shuang nodded in agreement.
Gu Tingyu's injury was relatively serious, so after three or four days of recovery, the injury on his body was almost healed. Leng Shuang had been serving him with all his heart these past few days, but Gu Tingyu was still distant from her, and Leng Shuang did not
Knowing what to do, there was no need to rush this matter, so she could only wait patiently. After all, she was just a little maid and had no right to influence Gu Tingyu.
