Chapter 121 Uninvited Guest ([-])
Every room in the inn was lit with lights, obviously to confuse outsiders.

Gu Yuchu squatted on the roof, watching every waiter deliver food and wine to every room, except for one. She smiled slightly, and then like a night owl, she gently wrapped herself around the top of the corridor, quietly eavesdropping on the conversations in the room.

"When did Qi Yiyu leave Hehe?" Qi Yijue asked the mysterious man.

"About February before." The mysterious man replied.

"Is he doing anything in Qiongzhou?"

"Aside from walking around the palace all day and visiting the broken mountain residence on Chenglu Street, there is nothing wrong with anything else."

"Did Ouyang Qunfang really hold back at home for three days before going to court?"

"For five days, Da Sima announced his illness to the outside world, and all visitors were turned away."

"Who leaked those family letters to Le Jia Huanyu?"

"It has not been found out yet, but the king is very unhappy about this matter. I heard that he cursed Ouyang for being a traitor in the palace. They were already very unhappy at the previous meeting because of General Zhao. Da Sima is always upright and stubborn. He has a stubborn character, I think the rift between the monarch and his subjects is difficult to reconcile this time, so we still have to strike while the iron is hot to win him over, so as not to let Beiling take advantage of him."

"Remember not to backfire. If you can't win over, I would rather abolish it than let Beiling succeed." Qi Qingjue warned.

"Yes."

"In addition, Sanxing Academy is keeping a close eye on Lejia Pengkang. Remember not to let him fall into Beiling's hands." Hearing this, Gu Yuchu felt someone from the courtyard approaching. He walked as fast as the wind but walked as heavy as a stone. Thinking about it, She is a character with powerful martial arts skills, and she has already adjusted to the maximum alert state for this.

The man walked to the closed door and the voice underneath said: "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?" Qi Yijue responded.

"There is a secret report in the capital."

"Enter."

The man gently opened the door and stepped in.

Qi Jinjue took the scroll, unfolded it and looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly.

"You go down."

Gu Yuchu wanted to move closer and get a glimpse of the place where the secret letter was placed, but the wood on the beam was in disrepair and fell sawdust, which happened to fall on the head of the messenger who was walking out of the door. He suddenly looked up and seemed to find Someone stood on the beam and shouted: "Who is it?!"

Upon seeing this, Qi Jinjue and the mysterious man quickly walked out the door, wanting to find out.

The person who delivered the message jumped up, grabbed Gu Yuchu's belt with one hand, and dragged it down hard.Gu Yuchu rolled over several times in succession, used his inertia to break away from the restraints, and rushed out of the corridor.

The man flew into the courtyard, drew his sword, and pressed forward step by step.

Gu Yuchu did not bring any weapons and did not want to fight, so he took the opportunity to escape while hiding.But the sword wouldn't let go of her, so she had no choice but to show off her true skills.After a dozen moves, the messenger was at a disadvantage.

The timing was good, Gu Yuchu punched the opponent's abdomen hard, and the person who sent the message took a few steps back, then turned around and used Qinggong, trying to fly away from the wall.

But at this moment, the mysterious man flew up into the air with an astonishing speed, and grabbed Gu Yuchu's shoulders hard. She frowned in pain, and she could feel the man's profound skill with just one move.

The two of them were ten feet apart. Gu Yuchu had a black scarf covering his mouth and a mysterious man's cloak on his body, standing facing each other.

"Who are you?" the mysterious man asked.

Gu Yuchu didn't answer, firstly because there was no need, and secondly because he was afraid of letting Qi Qingjue know something wrong.Her eyes were sharp. It seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable today, but she was not afraid of the battle, but more excited. It seemed that she hadn't had a good fight for a long time since the border battle, especially one on one like this. A contest between masters.

Seeing that she remained calm, the mysterious man took the initiative and struck out with his palm like lightning. Gu Yuchu's hair flowed under the wind of his palm. Just when he was about to lift her face, she used the peak of her fist to neutralize the force of the palm and resisted the force with her speed. , facing the enemy head-on, but she is a female after all, and her strength is naturally not as good as that of men. After a few moves, her forearms are already sore and swollen.

She flew up and kicked the mysterious man in the head. The mysterious man used his upper arm to protect him and grabbed one of Gu Yuchu's ankles. He stepped back repeatedly. Gu Yuchu did a split and lowered himself to the ground. Then he supported the ground with both hands. An autumn wind swept his legs, trying to trip him up, but the mysterious man jumped up and managed to avoid him. Gu Yuchu flipped upside down and hit both of his knees. The mysterious man's muscles trembled and he almost fell down.

At this point, Gu Yuchu seized the first opportunity and used the two-life form that she had learned from Tai Chi, hitting the mysterious man in the abdomen. He took three steps back and grunted.

The mysterious man's eyes were red, and he didn't stop for three seconds. He quickly rushed towards her with his magic steps and palm power. His speed was so fast that it was overwhelming.Gu Yuchu was forced into a corner, so she had to touch the wall with her feet, spread her arms up, and then somersaulted behind the mysterious man. However, she could not avoid his turning fist, and her lower back suddenly hurt as if it had been crushed. .

She spun her scissor legs to grab the opponent's throat, but he grabbed her knees with both hands. Fortunately, she was not far from the courtyard wall. She used the force of the wall to spin and roll with one leg, barely avoiding being captured.

But at this moment, the messenger and the mysterious man attacked her from both sides with a sword. After more than a dozen attacks, she was tired of dealing with the mysterious man's chain of attacks, and she couldn't avoid it, and her right arm was scratched.

Gu Yuchu furrowed his eyebrows, let go and grabbed the wrist of the person who sent the message, snatched the sword from his hand, and kicked him back, hitting him and blocking him. His face was ferocious, and the pain was indescribable.

But at this point, she had no time to dodge the mysterious man's sneak attack. Just when the mask was lifted, a man suddenly appeared and clasped the back of her head with one hand. Gu Yuchu's face was pressed against his shoulder. She raised her head and squinted. It's Ling Ziyu's beautiful chin.Although she was shocked, she was sure it was him, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she heard the swishing sound of a concealed weapon. She was picked up by a strong arm around her waist and flew out of the inn with the man on her chest. .

Qi Yijue ordered people to chase him. Ling Ziyu grabbed Gu Yuchu's waist, touched the ground with light kung fu, and ran towards the woods with lightning speed.

On the way, Gu Yuchu saw his tied horse, so he untied the horse, slapped him on the back, and made him gallop away to confuse the pursuers behind him.

The two of them walked deep into the woods before stopping, but Ling Ziyu still held her in his arms and refused to let go.

"Let go!" Gu Yuchu pushed him in disgust.

"Why, this is your attitude towards your savior?" Ling Ziyu looked dissatisfied.

"Did I ask you to help me? Besides, it's not the end yet, how do you know I can't win?"

"She's all injured, but she still has a hard mouth." Ling Ziyu frowned slightly, squinted his eyes, and stretched out his hand to check her wounds.

"I want you to take care of it." Gu Yuchu held him in front of her chest with one hand. She turned her head and glanced at her wound. It was not deep, but it hurt a little because it stuck to her clothes. Then she suddenly realized something and asked:

"Oh, by the way, how did you know I was here?"

"You live in Suo Xing Palace, and all your actions are under my control." Ling Ziyu admitted simply,
Gu Yuchu cursed himself unconsciously when he thought that he had asked such a stupid question.

"What's going on with your martial arts? Did you always pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger?" she then asked.

"The 36 strategies are the best. You can't be bad at light kung fu. But you, not only are you not bad at martial arts, but your horse-stealing skills are also top-notch." Ling Ziyu finished her explanation and mentioned by the way that she had exposed herself in order to prevent the old horse from knowing the way. It seemed that Ling Ziyu was right about the matter of stealing the horse belonging to the guests of Poshan Residence. Everything she said and did in Suo Xing Palace was indeed under his control.

"By the way, is there any news about my brother?"

"It's okay for now." Ling Ziyu stood with his hands on his side and stopped looking at her.

"Can you please? If not, please return the jade token to me. I'll find it myself!" After saying that, she reached into his arms and took it out.

"Men and women are not allowed to be intimate!" As soon as these words came out, Gu Yuchu was stunned on the spot. Ling Ziyu changed his normal behavior and refused from head to toe to be close to women, which made her even more suspicious.

He coughed twice, adjusted his demeanor, and then said: "There are a total of 450 jade and jewelry shops and pawn shops in Hehe and Beiling. In the past 15 years, I have asked about similar jade plaques or whether It is not so easy to find out the records of the person who pawned the jade token. In addition, I have also asked all the silk and cloth dyeing merchants surnamed Gu in Beiling, and none of them has married their daughter to Dongqi."

Gu Yuchu's expression was solemn. Even Ling Ziyu was helpless at once, let alone with his own meager strength.

"What about the nearby bandit mountain?"

"In order to strengthen the army, He He recruited all the bandits in the country seven years ago. The few who resisted were killed. Even if there are some who escaped, they are now anonymous and difficult to trace."

"Doesn't that mean there are no clues?" Gu Yuchu said anxiously, "Can't you just post a notice? Wouldn't it be more effective with half the effort?"

"In what name? It might be self-defeating. Someone has evil intentions, and your brother's life may be in danger. Even if not, Qi Jian will probably think you are me..." Ling Ziyu raised his eyebrows, paused, and continued. , "I'm from Beiling. If you don't have any objections, I'll be happy to see it happen."

Hearing this, Gu Yuchu felt that it made sense. She sighed, the world is so big and the sea of ​​people is vast, it is really difficult to find a needle in a haystack for someone who has been missing for more than ten years.

"Don't be disappointed. Give me some more time, and I will definitely find clues." Ling Ziyu comforted her when he saw her eyes dimming.

"If you can't find it, I will destroy your phoenix bone flute!" Gu Yuchu suddenly raised his eyes, frowning and suddenly threatened.

"Ha! You woman!" Ling Ziyu looked at this woman who didn't know anything in return in disbelief, and shook his head helplessly.

"You go north. Once you get out of the woods, there is a carriage waiting there with clean clothes on it. They will take you back." He didn't want to waste more time with her here, so he quickly arranged an escape route.

"What about you?" Gu Yuchu asked. She felt that Ling Ziyu's grand appearance today must not be that simple.

"What are you doing? Do you want me to accompany you?" Ling Ziyu smiled proudly and reached out to knock her on the forehead.

This action was so familiar that Xiao Ling's appearance flashed in Gu Yuchu's mind, which made her feel particularly strange.

"Get out of here! I won't send it away." She cursed in a low voice and turned around to retreat.

"When you get back to the wound, remember to ask your Xiao Lang to take a good look at it."

Ling Ziyu looked at her decisive back and shouted with a smile.
