It was here that she met the mysterious man seeking revenge. Although the man never showed up, he salvaged her equipment and deliberately let the officers and soldiers discover it...
Now here again, could this mysterious man live in this moat
Gu Xijiu almost thought that the mysterious man was a water ghost!
"Master, what should we do next?" Cangqiong Jade asked her.
"Cool, go home and sleep." Gu Xijiu answered simply, turned around, and walked home leisurely.
"Let's forget it? No more pursuit?" Cang Qiong Yu's intention was still unfinished.
"Gu Xijiu didn't answer, she already had a rough idea.
Although she is still confused about the identity of the mysterious man, fortunately she has some information.
For example, the mysterious man was indeed the one who peeped at her in the big tree today. For example, this man's kung fu was similar to or higher than Long Siye's. For example, this man had the incense of someone from the palace on his body. It was still a very special incense. She I only smelled it on Prince Rong Jialuo and the princess...
With these clues, she would be able to narrow down the scope of her search. She could just ask Rong Jialuo or Rong Che for questioning, and maybe she could find out the identity of the mysterious person.
As long as she knows the identity of that person, she can make real countermeasures and won't be so passive anymore.
On the way back to the city, Cangqiong Jade reminded her: "Master, someone is following you!"
"I know!" Gu Xijiu said casually, "I came out this time just to show them."
"Ah? Why?"
"They should be experts from Dali Temple. Rong Yan probably bit me, so these people are checking me secretly, mainly to check my kung fu and see if I am suspected of committing a crime."
"That's it!" Cang Qiongyu understood and admired him very much.
Its owner has a super high IQ and is not ordinary smart! If it finds a smart person as its owner, its future journey will be much easier.
Gu Xijiu's guess was good. The two people following her were indeed the masters of investigating cases from Dali Temple. They followed Gu Xijiu patiently until she returned to the general's mansion, and they didn't stop again.
Looking at each other, one of them began to write information quickly: "Gu Xijiu, level three in Qinggong and level zero in spiritual power."
Another person asked: "Boss, is it necessary to go in and check again?"
The person who wrote the materials shook his head: "No need, these are enough."
With her current skills, she couldn't enter and leave the general's mansion silently, nor could she kill Lehua Hou, so there was no need for them to waste any more time on her.
…
It's almost noon, and there's plenty of sunlight.
Gu Xijiu felt a little hot sitting in the airtight sedan.
As soon as she returned to the General's Mansion today, she received an imperial edict from Emperor Xuan, asking her to quickly enter the palace to see him, saying that they had important matters to discuss.
The eunuch who issued the imperial edict was so anxious that Gu Xijiu got on the sedan chair sent by the palace and was carried all the way into the palace without even having time to drink.
Although she had dealt with several princes, this was her first time in the palace.
Vermilion palace walls, majestic halls, long palace passages, palace doors one after another...
The layout here is somewhat similar to that of the Forbidden City. The difference is that the roofs of the Forbidden City are mostly glazed tiles, but here they are blue tortoiseshell tiles, which shine like the waves of the sea in the sun.
"Master, be careful, there is murderous intent!" The sky jade on the wrist suddenly reminded.
Before this reminder even hit the ground, a gust of wind flew over. The strong wind was mixed with several points of cold light, which shone directly into the sedan!
