Gu Qinghan revealed the key point with one sentence. Qining secretly thought that Bingxue was indeed smart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no matter how big the spider web is, can it trap a tiger?"
"Don't take it seriously." Seeing Qining's nonchalant look, Gu Qinghan was even more worried: "They have been in Xichuan for a long time and are local snakes. Don't say you are not a tiger. Even if you are a tiger, you may not be able to fight a local snake." Worried, he frowned and said, "Can't we let the local officials in Xichuan investigate this matter?"
"I'm just worried that if I can't go to Xichuan this time, more people will die tragically at their hands." Qining's eyes became cold: "Since those innocent people in Heiyan Cave died for me, I naturally can't sit back and watch. Reason, we must find out those traitors and look at their heads in order to pay homage to those innocent souls."
Gu Qinghan's eye circles were even redder, his lips moved slightly, but he stopped talking.
Qi Ning saw it and knew that there were only a few people in the world who really cared about him, but Gu Qinghan was definitely the most important one. He felt warm in his heart, and suddenly spread his arms. Before Gu Qinghan could react, he had already touched her lightly. Hold him lightly in his arms.
He didn't use much strength, and this time Gu Qinghan didn't even struggle, just let him hold her.
The soft and beautiful body in his arms was so real that Qining felt more beautiful than ever before. Smelling the fragrance of Gu Qinghan's hair, he said softly: "Before I leave, I am very happy to be able to hold you like this."
"I just hope you can come back soon." Gu Qinghan said softly: "Without you, I really don't know...!" Halfway through, he didn't continue.
"Do not know what is this?"
Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "I don't know what the meaning of my life is."
Hearing this, Qi Ning hugged Gu Qinghan tightly in his arms and whispered: "I'm very happy when you say that. Even if it's for you, I will come back safely." After hesitating, he finally leaned into Gu Qinghan's ear. Asked: "Will you miss me after I leave?"
"I...!" Gu Qinghan's delicate body twisted slightly and did not answer immediately. Qining said: "I have no other intention, I just want to know whether you will remember me before I leave."
"You...you really don't know?" Gu Qinghan's voice trembled slightly, as if he was about to cry: "Actually, you don't know anything, you...!"
"I know, I know." Qining hugged Gu Qinghan tightly in his arms: "Of course I know that Sanniang will always miss me, just like I will miss you all the time after I leave." Suddenly, she felt a surge of emotion in her heart. She loosened her hands and held Gu Qinghan's face. She looked at the beautiful snow-white face and saw tears flashing in Gu Qinghan's beautiful eyes. She suddenly lowered her head and kissed her. On Gu Qinghan's lips.
Gu Qinghan gently grabbed Qi Ning's clothes with both hands, closed her eyes, and silently cooperated with Qi Ning's passionate kiss.
Qi Ning knew very well why Gu Qinghan accepted his feelings so obediently this time. Perhaps in Gu Qinghan's heart, this trip to Xichuan was unprecedentedly dangerous.
Of course, Qi Ning also knew that this time was very dangerous. The other party's intention was very obvious, which was to introduce him into Xichuan. For this purpose, he killed people and set fire in Heiyan Cave with extreme cruelty. So if he really entered Xichuan, the other party would certainly have A bigger trap is waiting for you.
Gu Qinghan was smart enough to know that Qining's trip to Xichuan might even go away forever, so he tore off the protective film that had been covering his feelings. This truly showed that deep in Gu Qinghan's heart, there was no return. He has never really rejected contact with Qi Ning, but has always restrained himself because of ethical scruples. Farewell is imminent, and life and death are unpredictable. Gu Qinghan finally allows his true feelings to be revealed.
Qi Ning was full of blood and had always cared about this beautiful young woman deep in his heart. At this time, he received Gu Qinghan's silent acceptance from his actions. There was an unprecedented excitement deep in his heart. While kissing Gu Qinghan, one hand followed Gu Qinghan. The pipa-like jade back swam downwards, and only stopped for a moment when it reached the slender waist. Then it went down, and finally one hand climbed on the plump buttocks. Although it was separated by clothes, she could clearly feel it. Seeing the plump and round texture, I couldn't help but grab the flap and squeeze it gently with my palm. It was really elastic.
Gu Qinghan immediately twisted his waist and pushed Qining slightly. At this time, his pretty face turned red and he said with a sigh: "Ning'er, today... we can't... today!"
Qi Ning looked at Gu Qinghan, her cheeks were flushed even more charmingly, and she had an intoxicating and charming aura all over her body. He couldn't help but move closer. Gu Qinghan supported Qi Ning's chest with his arms, shook his head gently and said: " Be obedient, today is not the right time, wait... wait until later."
When Qi Ning heard this, his heart was filled with excitement. Gu Qinghan's words meant that if there was a possibility for the two of them in the future, he knew that being able to do this today was already reaching the limit. Any further progress could only be to break through Gu Qinghan's bottom line. It would not be possible. Accepted by Gu Qinghan, he said softly: "Okay, then you wait for me to come back."
Gu Qinghan nodded slightly, moved his lips, and finally said softly: "Then... you come back soon!"
Qi Ning smiled.
The situation in Xichuan was urgent, so Qi Ning did not delay. After saying goodbye to his family, he left the capital. One hundred elite soldiers from the Black Scale Battalion selected by Zhao Wushang were already waiting outside the city. They were all strong horses. After Qin Ning left the city, these Once, he did not hide anything, but led his men to ride a hundred horses all the way west, passing through Xiangyang, up the Yangtze River, passing Yiling to Nanjin Pass. The land route in Xichuan was difficult, and even fast horses could not match the speed of water and land. Therefore, We changed to the land route and took the waterway, which was quite smooth along the way. After the waterway arrived at Qutang Gorge, we went ashore and took the land route, heading straight towards Chengdu.
Ximu went to Beijing for an emergency. Although he traveled day and night, some time had passed. Qining came to Xichuan this time, and it still took several days without any delay. Someone might be arrested every day in the Black Rock Cave. Kill, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Qining has no idea what is going on over there in the Black Rock Cave.
Ximu naturally followed Qining and his party back this time. Fortunately, everyone had some rest time on the boat, and their energy and physical strength were not consumed too much.
When he arrived outside Jinguan City in Chengdu, it was already dusk. Qining originally wanted to go directly to Heiyan Cave, but he also knew that since the opponent was a huge network, he had to rely on his own hands to deal with that group of people in Xichuan. These people are really weak and must rely on Xichuan's soldiers and horses. Now the military power of Xichuan is in the hands of Wei Shutong, and Wei Shutong naturally knows the situation in Xichuan better than he does, so he meets with Wei Shutong first It would be more appropriate to understand the situation together.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city were surprised when they saw Qi Ning coming with hundreds of cavalry. When they learned that the Protector was arriving, they naturally did not dare to stop them. However, Qi Ning thought that after this group of cavalry entered the city, their fast horses would inevitably disturb the city. The people ordered Duan Canghai to lead the crowd to wait outside the city gate, while he led Qi Feng straight to the Governor's Mansion.
This is the second time Qi Ning has come to Jinguan City. Nothing has changed. The streets are still bustling with traffic.
When they arrived outside the Governor's Mansion, the soldiers guarding did not recognize Qi Ning. Qi Feng revealed his identity and someone immediately went in to report. Qi Ning could not wait for Wei Shutong to come out to greet him, so he entered the manor alone. As soon as he arrived in the hall, he saw Wei Shu He came running along the same road, still wearing casual clothes. Compared with the last time we met, Wei Shutong's complexion was obviously much better, and his figure seemed to have gained a little weight. When he saw Qi Ning, Wei Shutong was obviously surprised and stepped forward. He came and bowed and saluted: "I am here to see you, the Duke!"
Longtai issued an edict to Jin to make Qining the Protector of the Country. Although it didn't last long, the feudal officials in various places had naturally known about it for a long time.
However, Wei Shutong's expression clearly showed that he was surprised by Qining's arrival. Qining did not hesitate and said straight to the point: "Master Wei, I haven't seen you for a while. You are here to investigate the case of Heiyan Cave according to the emperor's order. You Do you know the details?"
Wei Shutong's expression froze and he asked in astonishment: "Black cave? My lord, could this be what happened last time...?"
"Did you know that Bayeli, the master of the Black Rock Cave, was killed?" Qining had no time to talk nonsense and asked directly.
Wei Shutong was shocked and lost his voice: "Bayeli was killed? This... how is this possible? Duke, what happened? Bayeli... how did Bayeli be killed? How come the subordinate didn't know at all?"
Qi Ning frowned, thinking that Wei Shutong had not received any news from the Black Rock Cave until now, and said: "Xichuan is under the jurisdiction of your Lord Wei. The master of the Black Rock Cave was killed. Not only In this way, a group of rebel bandits killed people and set fires in Heiyan Cave, at least hundreds of people were killed, and you didn't know anything about it."
Wei Shutong said in shock: "Hundreds of people were killed? Who did it?" Finding that he and Qining were still standing outside the hall, he hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Please come in, Duke!"
Qi Ning entered the hall, and Wei Shutong asked people to serve tea, and then asked urgently: "My lord, I have neglected my duty. I really don't know that such a big thing happened in Heiyan Cave. After the Heiyan Cave was framed last time, how did I do it?" When the Duke returned to Beijing, he specially sent some gifts to calm them down. Bayeli also sent someone to send some leather goods to Xiaguan to express his gratitude. Xiaguan had people tell him that if If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to Xiaguan at any time. Since then, Xiaguan has been busy with other things and has not had any contact with the other side, nor has he heard about what happened there...!"
"A group of people blocked the connection between Heiyan Cave and the outside, killing people and setting fires in Heiyan Ridge." Qining sneered: "Bayeli was also beheaded by those people and hung it on a flagpole to intimidate the people. Heiyan Cave was helpless. I will send someone to the capital to report the matter. The emperor knows about this and has ordered me to come and investigate the matter. I must arrest and bring those traitorous bandits to justice."
Wei Shutong looked stern and said angrily: "How audacious, those gangs of rebels are so vicious." He stood up and said: "This official has neglected his duty and deserves death. I will try my best to cooperate with the Duke and get to the bottom of this case." , If we can’t arrest those traitorous bandits, I would rather resign!”
