717, Kanto City 3
Qingteng Street is the boundary line between the North and South Districts, and the prison in Guandong City is located on Qingteng Street.
Because it is close to the prison, snakes and dragons are mixed together, people don't want to live in Qingteng Street, and rich people leave Qingteng Street farther away. Therefore, the yard here is particularly large but cheap. Fat officials bought it for three taels of silver. After leaving the yard, it has been sold for three hundred taels, which is a hundred times as much.
The fat official's name is Tao Li, and just like his name, he is very powerful and greedy for money, and Gu Qianxue also learned through insinuations that Tao Li is the brother-in-law of the new governor of Guandong City.
After going through the formalities at the yamen, taking the deed and giving the money, Gu Qianxue and the others officially moved in.
After simply buying some bedding and medicine, Gu Qianxue gathered everyone in the main hall to change the dressing for the injured, "I know you are disgusted with Tao Li, but no matter what, you must greet him with a smile. A strong dragon can't beat a local snake, Tao Li It doesn’t have much power, but it can bring us a lot of convenience and get twice the result with half the effort.”
Anwei, whose alias is Luo Xiong, said, "Second Miss, don't worry, my subordinates will obey orders."
Gu Qianxue checked Wu Fei's wounds, "Of course I know that you are loyal, but many things still need to be communicated. No one is a roundworm in someone else's stomach. If you don't speak out, how can others know what the other person thinks?" Then she said softly to Wu Fei , "Your injury is recovering very well. You have not had a fever or inflammation after being injured so badly. It is really a blessing to survive a catastrophe."
Wu Fei immediately said, "It's the second young lady who has rejuvenated herself."
Gu Qianxue smiled and did not answer, changing the dressing for the next hidden guard.
The hidden guards didn't say anything, but they were moved in their hearts. They never thought that one day their master would personally heal their wounds.
After treating everyone's wounds again, Gu Qianxue walked to the window and looked at a blue brick building not far away, which was the prison of Guandong City, where Marshal Zhao was imprisoned.
"We have hugged Tao Li's thigh, and the next thing we have to do is to sneak into the prison." Gu Qianxue murmured.
Chu Yan stepped forward, "Princess, can I visit the prison tonight, can I?"
Gu Qianxue was worried about Chu Yan, "The prison is heavily guarded, are you sure you can get out?"
"I'm sure." Chu Yan was firm.
Qianxue has seen Chuyan's lightness kung fu before, and knows that she is not boasting, "Okay, I, Gu Qianxue, will remember this kindness." She took Chuyan's hand.
Chu Yan was slightly embarrassed, "It is the duty of a servant to be loyal to the princess."
Qian Xue said, "I won't say too many nice words, but from now on, you are one of your own."
There is an indescribable feeling in Chu Yan's heart, which is completely different from the calmness of performing tasks before. She tried her best to calm down, "Princess take care, slaves will come back as soon as they go." After saying that, she went to prepare.
Chuyan left, bringing Yao Zhen with her.
Yao Zhen is sixty-six in his twenties, he can be regarded as one of the oldest hidden guards, he will retire in four years, and he is especially good at light work.
When Chu Yan left, except for the three people who were recuperating, the two guards with minor injuries began to simply tidy up the house. Although the yard was not in disrepair, it had not been lived in for a long time. Gu Qianxue was preparing dinner in the kitchen, but her messy thoughts Uncontrolled general bumping, cranky.
She thought of Marshal Zhao, the Zhao family, Su Lingxiao, and King Li.
Put the washed rice in the pot, cook it, and then start to process the vegetables you bought.
As for the hidden guards, Gu Qianxue asked when she was cleaning the wounds of the wounded. It was indeed as Chu Yan said that the dark guards were all orphans, or poor children who were trafficked by their parents and were not as good as orphans. They might be adopted by the dark guards. , handed over to martial arts, and then sold out. Or directly adopted and retained by some specialized organizations.
But no matter what the method is, the fate of these people is very tragic. Not only is the task difficult, but they may die at any time.
Even though the martial arts are strong, few hidden guards dare to betray or escape. After all, they know too many secrets, and the hidden guards did not change jobs. Even if they betrayed the original owner, there is no other place to accommodate them and wait for their There is only endless pursuit.
There are three final results for the dark guard: first, to gain the appreciation of the master, change his identity from dark to bright, and finally become a confidant. Second, until retirement, but even after retirement, the main family will erase all their records and information, but the dark guards still have to keep a low profile, and even do not use martial arts for life. The third is death.
It can be said that 80% of the hidden guards finally got the third result.
Thinking of the four hidden guards who died in the inn, Gu Qianxue only felt pain in her heart.
Because of the pain in his heart, he turned his grief into strength, and cut an extra piece of meat to stir-fry, even if it was to add vegetables to the six surviving dark guards.
Dinner is spent in a formality.
Although Gu Qianxue tried her best to find a topic and let the atmosphere relax, everyone remained silent, and she seldom ate food. Qianxue could only eat a few mouthfuls before running to the yard, vowing never to dine with them again.
It's not that she doesn't have enough to eat, she thinks it's them who don't have enough to eat.
It was late at night, and the huge yard was empty, even more bright and bright with the moonlight.
Standing in the courtyard, Gu Qianxue frowned, staring at the blue brick building not far away with her eyes motionless, secretly praying for the smoothness and safety of Chuyan, and also praying for the innocence and safety of Marshal Zhao.
When Yan and Yao Zhen returned, it was already two hours later.
The three of them entered the room, and Chu Yan said, "Princess, something is wrong. Marshal Zhao is insane and drugged by a woman."
"Drugs?" Gu Qianxue was taken aback.
Yao Zhen also had a bad complexion, and took out the cloth from his arms, "This is the medicine on Marshal Zhao's clothes. I don't know if the princess can find out the prescription."
After Gu Qianxue took the cloth strip, she sniffed it carefully, and then her face turned pale with shock, and she didn't speak for a while.
Chu Yandao, "The specific situation is like this. The servant girl and Yao Zhen sneaked into the prison, and it took a lot of effort to find the cell where Marshal Zhao was detained. When we entered, we found that Marshal Zhao was sleeping soundly. The cell was heavily guarded, and the servant girl released him." Xin was about to come back, but at this moment, a woman wearing a dark cloak entered. If the servants read correctly, the woman has no martial arts, but she colluded with the prison boss, the woman took out the medicine, and the jailer woke up Marshal Zhao. Although Marshal Zhao was insane Unclear but extremely resisted, was held down by several jailers, and was given medicine."
Gu Qianxue's complexion was even uglier, her delicate face was ashen, and her hand holding the cloth strip was clenched loudly.
Chu Yan's voice paused, and then she asked cautiously, "Princess, what kind of medicine is this medicine?"
"A medicine that can control people's mind," Gu Qianxue said, "Do you still remember the puppet refining technique I mentioned in the inn? This medicine is the first layer of the puppet technique."
She has drank this medicine before, so she can't make a mistake!
Chu Yan and Yao Zhen were shocked, "Mingjiao? Could it be related to Chu Yanguo?"
