Shang Wu likes him, this matter is obvious, no matter how stupid Ling Xiao is, he knows it.
Gu Zhi and Shang Wu have no grudges against each other, and their only connection is Ling Xiao.
"That's it." Ling Qingwan explained to Ling Xiao slowly. "Shang Wu did this just to threaten you with Gu Zhi and make you marry her. She also knows that you like Gu Zhi. If Gu Zhi died in her hands, you would hate her."
"So, she won't hurt Gu Zhi."
After hearing what Ling Qingwan said, Ling Xiao felt a little relieved.
"But it's not a good idea to keep dragging it on like this. I can't rest in peace without knowing where my child is."
"Don't worry." Ling Qingwan said softly.
After saying that, she turned around and called Hong Shang.
Hong Chang took out a bag hanging from her waist and opened it in front of Ling Xiao and Ling Qingwan.
Suddenly, a small insect flew out from inside.
"This is..." Ling Xiao was puzzled.
"This is a person-seeking Gu." Hong Shang explained.
"Before Ling Chuchu put a Gu on my grandmother, I sent Hongshang to investigate, and she found the Searching Gu by the way. I thought it would be useful, so I kept it. Mingyue's nearly murdered incident last time served as a warning to me, so I put a Searching Gu on Luluo. As long as you are with Luluo and Zhier, this Searching Gu will follow you to find Zhier."
With Ling Qingwan's words, Ling Xiao felt at ease.
Now that we have clues about Gu Zhi, the most urgent task is to find her as soon as possible.
Ling Xiao and Ling Qingwan both knew Shang Wu's personality. The longer Gu Zhi stayed in her hands, the more dangerous he would be.
So, Ling Xiao and Hong Shang, together with a group of people, left the general's mansion.
Ling Qingwan was worried, so she went to ask Shen Chengzhou to send more people to protect her secretly.
"You, really underestimate your brother." Shen Chengzhou was still very confident in Ling Xiao's skills.
It was just a matter of dealing with Shang Wu, which was very easy for Ling Xiao.
"I'm not worried that he can't deal with Shang Wu." Ling Qingwan smiled bitterly, her eyes full of melancholy.
Shen Chengzhou paused.
Only after Ling Qingwan's reminder did he become wary.
"You mean, there's a good chance that a second person will take advantage of the situation and sneak in, Xiao'er?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Chengzhou had a candidate in mind.
Ye Yun!
Just a few days ago, news came out that Ye Yun had returned to the capital, and he was also in contact with Man Xing. Man Xing was Shang Wu's brother, so it made sense that Ye Yun and Shang Wu had some contact.
"My brother suffered a loss at Ye Yun's hands before, I'm afraid..."
Ling Qingwan didn't dare to say the rest.
I was afraid that I would be a pessimist, and she really came true.
Fortunately, although Shen Chengzhou did not expect Ye Yun to get involved in this matter, since Ling Qingwan ordered him to do so, he agreed and called more than twenty Shen family soldiers to follow Ling Xiao and protect him secretly.
The Shen Family Army was not the army of the Yue Kingdom, but belonged to Shen Chengzhou. All the members of the Shen Family Army were trained by Shen Chengzhou. They were highly skilled in martial arts and loyal.
With these people around, and Ling Xiao himself being highly skilled in martial arts and brave in battle, it would be difficult for him to succeed even if Ye Yun attacked by surprise.
On the other side, Ling Xiao and his group were guided by the searching Gu and came to Jinyun Mountain outside the city.
It seems that Gu Zhi is on this Jinyun Mountain.
The night was dim and Ling Xiao was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he asked everyone to extinguish the campfire and move forward in the dark.
Suddenly, an arrow flew over, and by the time Ling Xiao reacted, the guard standing beside him had already fallen to the ground.
Ling Xiao was shocked.
"ignition!"
At the command, the fire was reignited.
The surroundings were instantly illuminated.
Only then did Ling Xiao realize that he was surrounded.
I saw countless men in black holding sharp swords, with the tips of the swords pointing directly at Ling Xiao.
Even a soldier as experienced as Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he saw this scene.
He knew that if he wasn't careful, he would be stung like a hornet's nest.
And the group of guards he led would also die in this wilderness.
"Master, do you want to break out?"
Qingfeng moved closer to Lingxiao and asked in a low voice.
Ling Xiao swallowed the word "breakthrough" which was about to come out of his mouth.
If it were in the past, he would have fought to the death with the group of black-clad men around him, but not now.
He was not only responsible for his own life, but also for the guards under him.
He couldn't let his soldiers lose their lives because of his recklessness.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Xiao shook his head.
He looked around and found that the men in black did not move, did not immediately start a fight with him, and did not speak to him.
They must be waiting for someone's orders!
Ling Xiao suddenly had an idea.
"Ye Yun! I know you are nearby."
Ling Xiao raised his voice and yelled at the people around him.
A gust of wind blew, and the leaves swayed, making a rustling sound.
"Since you want my life so badly, I'm here now, don't you plan to kill me yourself?" Ling Xiao continued. "Or do you plan to continue to be a coward, hiding in a corner as if you can't stand seeing people."
“Come to think of it, you and I are brothers from the same father. And you’ve been in the Ling Mansion for so many years, and I didn’t even know it.” Ling Xiao laughed.
"Are you worthy of being called my brother?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness.
Ye Yun showed up as expected.
"We are both born of the same father. Why do you have the right to be pampered and admired by everyone since childhood? And if I want to stay with my father, I can only be a slave and be ordered around by you?"
Ye Yun gritted his teeth.
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and he wished he could tear Ling Xiao into pieces immediately.
Based on his voice, Ling Xiao quickly confirmed that Ye Yun was in the southeast direction.
He put his hands behind his back, stretched out his fingers, and pointed to the southeast. The guards understood.
"Ling Xiao, I advise you not to play tricks on me. If you behave yourself, I can still keep your body intact. Maybe when you are in a good mood, you can become Gu Zhi. Otherwise, I will let your fiancée go with you to the Hades Palace to get married!"
As soon as Ye Yun finished speaking, Ling Xiao nodded, and then he flew and stabbed towards the southeast. The guards behind him came forward in unison, protected him, and fought with the man in black.
…
At the post station, Shang Wu learned that Gu Zhi had been successfully captured, so she immediately set off, changed into men's clothes, and rushed to Jinyun Mountain.
Shang Wu happened to pass by the place where Ling Xiao and Ye Yun had fought, and was frightened by the corpses everywhere.
"Shen's Army!"
Shang Wu accidentally discovered the waist badge of one of the dead guards and was shocked.
She had fought against the Shen family army on the battlefield, so she recognized the badge.
Who are those people in black across from me...
Shang Wu couldn't figure it out, so she quickened her pace and planned to go to the place where Gu Zhi was imprisoned first.
At this time, a wooden house.
Ling Xiao was squatting down, carefully applying medicine to Gu Zhi.
Fortunately, although Gu Zhi had many wounds on his body, they were all superficial and not serious. But even so, Ling Xiao still felt distressed.
"Does it hurt?"
Ling Xiao spoke softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing Gu Zhi.
Under the bonfire, Gu Zhi's face turned pale.
