Qi Bai and Zhui Feng knew each other, but they didn't expect to meet him in this place. When Qi Bai came out of the medicine shop, he happened to meet them. He quickly stepped forward and called them, "Why are you here? ?”
As soon as Zhui Feng saw Qi Bai, he immediately gained hope. Qi Bai had always been with the Ninth Prince. Now that he appeared in this place, it meant that the Ninth Prince might be nearby. "My master is worried about your safety. I heard that the Ninth Prince and Young Master Gu were both missing, so we quickly sent a few of us to find you along the route to the border, but now it seems that our mission has been completed."
"The prince is missing?"
Qi Bai was arranged by Shen Qianshan to stay with Gu Huaian. He escorted Gu Huaian back with only a few of Shen Qianshan's bodyguards. Unexpectedly, Gu Huaian was seriously injured on the battlefield that day. Not far away, he became so sick that he lost consciousness. Helpless, Qi Bai could only ask the few people following him to stop and rest, but he did not expect that the Ninth Prince would disappear on the battlefield.
"Aren't you with the prince? Aren't you always with him?" Zhuiyun became anxious when he heard this. He thought that finding Qi Bai meant finding Shen Qianshan, but he didn't expect that, Qi Bai, who had been following Shen Qianshan, would actually act separately from Shen Qianshan this time.
"No," Qi Bai shook his head, "What did you mean when you said that the prince was missing?"
Speaking of a good doctor, no one holds this title more seriously than Gu Huaian. But now that Gu Huaian's wound is infected and he has been unconscious for several days, Qi Bai can only ask the doctor here to give him See a doctor.
Who would have thought that after Qi Bai had been left here to recuperate with everyone for more than ten days, Gu Huai'an didn't even get better at all. After finally being able to wake up for a while, he wrote out the prescription in a daze, and Qi Bai felt like this. Click the bottom and take the medicine as he said.
Zhui Feng's expression changed slightly, "In other words, the prince separated from you two weeks ago and has never had contact with any of you again, right?"
Qi Bai nodded.
Zhui Feng and Zhui Yun finally felt uneasy and decided to go to the inn to see Gu Huaian.
Gu Huai'an's face was pale due to illness, and he had no energy. Zhuiyun thought about the Gu Qiang he saw in the palace that day, and then looked at Gu Huai'an who was lying on the bed now. The two brothers and sisters really didn't even get sick. Together, Zhuiyun said with some worry, "The two brothers and sisters of the Gu family have suffered a lot..."
Zhui Feng didn't want to waste any more time, "Zhui Yun, you escort Mr. Gu back alone, and I will lead others to continue searching for the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince. Do you think this is okay?"
If we continue to waste time, no one can predict what will happen. We should make a decision early. We cannot leave Gu Huaian alone here, so we leave Zhuiyun here and wait for him. When his injuries improved a little, he was sent back to Kyoto.
Zhui Feng took a brief rest before getting ready to go on the road. Although Qi Bai didn't have any serious injuries, he couldn't help but keep dragging him like this. He knew that taking care of Mr. Gu didn't care about his own physical strength at all.
As soon as Zhuiyun found Gu Huai'an, he quickly sent a message to Gusu Liang in Kyoto. After all, this matter had made great progress, so he should tell Gusu Liang to reassure him first.
After Gu Huaian woke up easily and prescribed the medicine, his fever slowly began to subside and he seemed to be more energetic. Although Qi Bai's health has not been that good, fortunately it is not very serious. There was nothing serious wrong with him, and Gu Huaian's condition seemed to be under control on the surface. In fact, he still looked very weak. As soon as he began to regain consciousness, Zhuiyun started. Prepare a carriage for him and take him back to the capital.
Gu Huaian couldn't ride a horse, so he could only ride in a carriage. Even he felt that he was causing trouble to everyone, but when he heard Zhui Yun say that so many things had happened to his sister, he couldn't calm down immediately. I wish I could become a thousand-mile horse now and rush back to the capital overnight.
"Mr. Zhuiyun, are you saying that in the letter that the prince received at that time, all the things about accuracy and everything being well were all written by my sister to Mr. Gusu?" Gu Huaian felt that he was really confused. He was so naive. At that time, I thought Shen Qianshan was worrying in vain. I didn't expect that so many things had happened in Kyoto.
Zhuiyun nodded, "The last time my master and I secretly entered the palace, the Ninth Princess was so thin that she almost lost her shape. She looked very pale. It must have been some time since I left Kyoto. The princess should have received the news that you two are missing. No one can say for sure what will happen now."
Zhuiyun had tried his best to convey this information to Gu Huai'an as tactfully as possible, fearing that it would irritate him, but even so, he did not hide it too much. After all, if he was not too optimistic, what if Gu Huaian returned to Kyoto? The scene he saw when he was there was really far from what he had described. It would be better to tell him the real situation so that he could be mentally prepared earlier.
Gu Huaian coughed twice. Since he and Shen Qianshan separated that day, he has indeed never heard any news about Shen Qianshan. He only knows that the soldiers at the border seem to have stabilized. That's why, he also There is no way of knowing because he had already fallen ill as soon as he arrived in this small town.
"Okay..." Gu Huai'an couldn't imagine how Gu Qiang survived so many days alone, facing Shen Zhongbai, and even having to bear the pain of losing a child by himself. This poor sister, even a grown man like Gu Huaian felt like crying.
I thought that after finding Gu Huai'an, Zhuiyun could leave him alone and return to Kyoto without encountering any trouble. However, as soon as he left this small town and hadn't even walked a few miles, he was stopped by someone. The oncoming person was stopped. Zhuiyun squinted his eyes. It looked like the person opposite him was a well-trained guard. Then he looked back at the remaining people around him. Although they were all Shen Qianshan, they were trained. He has been a guard for many years, but after all, he has suffered such serious injuries on the battlefield. At this moment, most of them are unable to resist the people on the opposite side.
"Who are you?"
While Zhuiyun was confronting the people on the opposite side, he was scanning the surroundings with his eyes to see if he could hold back this group of people so that the people behind him could have a chance to leave.
"Brother, we are not looking for trouble. Qi Bai is here. The person in the carriage must be the Ninth Prince. I didn't expect that you would be asked to find the Ninth Prince before me. But it doesn't matter if you take the first step. Useful…”
"You were also ordered to find the Ninth Prince?" Qi Bai stood up from the ruts of the carriage. It seemed that he and the person opposite him should be old acquaintances. The person opposite also knew that Qi Bai had been following him. Beside Shen Qianshan.
The person opposite smiled and said, "Qi Bai, you clearly know what I am here for, why do you still ask me these things? From the day the two of us stood on opposite sides, you should have expected that there would be It’s been such a day, but I see that your current expression is not suitable for a duel with me, so you might as well just admit defeat to me, and I might be able to spare your life.”
"Lu Qing, don't go too far!"
Having said this, Qi Bai, you naturally understand that the person in front of you is actually Shen Zhongbai who came to kill Shen Qianshan. It seems that something has indeed happened to the prince, but the people chasing the wind seem to be one step ahead of them. If If we can deal with Lu Qing's people today, we might be able to buy some time for Zhui Feng.
"Am I going too far? Can you please pay attention to the way you speak to me now? Your lives are all in my hands now." Lu Qing looked like a pretentious and extremely arrogant person. Feng didn't seem to want to have any entanglement with Lu Qing at all. When he saw Qi Bai and Lu Qing carrying them, he became a little impatient, "Brother, although I don't know why you want to block our way, But I can tell you clearly that the person you are looking for is not on our carriage. If you want to find the Ninth Prince, you won’t be able to find him even if you have a stalemate with us for a lifetime. You have this time to quarrel with us. It’s better to follow your original plan and go find the Ninth Prince as soon as possible.”
"Haha, it's a joke. Qi Bai has never left Shen Qianshan. Is it possible that there is another person in the world who can make Qi Bai willingly follow him and help him drive the carriage?" Lu Qing's eyes were full of emotions. Disdainful, but not wanting to chase the wind, he directly opened the door curtain of the carriage. Gu Huaian inside had heard the confrontation between the two parties outside early. At this moment, Gu Huaian looked pale, but he had already held several flying weapons in his hand. Knife, but now that people are sitting in the carriage of a carriage, they are not so sure that they can hit all the people on the opposite side at once, so they have not taken action for the time being.
After Lu Qing saw the people in the carriage, he was obviously stunned for a moment. Indeed, Lu Qing did not expect that the person sitting in the carriage was not Shen Qianshan at all. Lu Qing actually didn't have much confidence. It was because Qi Bai had been sitting at the door of the carriage that he firmly believed that the person sitting in the carriage was Shen Qianshan.
Lu Qing was a little unconvinced and decided to move forward to see if the person in the carriage was Shen Qianshan in disguise. Gu Huaian also saw the opportunity and quickly threw a few throwing knives towards the door. The number of people was suddenly reduced sharply. Zhuiyun also saw this opportunity, drew his sword and started fighting with the person opposite. Several guards also drew their swords and fought with the person opposite.
When Lu Qing saw that the situation was not good, he quickly ran away. However, although he escaped, he also injured one eye.
