late night song

Chapter 191
Gu Yuchu informed Fan Yueqing of the possible danger to the hostages, but never mentioned Qi Jinjue's threat. However, even so, she was aware of the suspicion and doubts of the entire army towards her.

Qi Jinjue had previously announced to the whole country that she was having an affair with Beiling, and now after being imprisoned, she was only willing to communicate with her. It was really too suspicious. Whether she was having an affair with Beiling or colluding with Dong Qi, she was carrying the name of Princess Hehe. All of her crimes are capital crimes of collaboration with the enemy and treason.

This man was so insidious and vicious, but Gu Yuchu really couldn't figure out why he had gone to such lengths to design himself.

For two days, the entire army searched the city and outside the city day and night for the whereabouts of Fan Yuan and other hostages, but to no avail.

No, the various search teams sent out had just returned to the camp. Gu Yuchu was so busy that he didn't even bother to drink. Then he received a notice saying that he had something important to discuss with her.

When she arrived, she found that Fan Yueqing and all the generals were there. Under their attention, Gu Yuchu stepped into the meeting hall.Seeing how they were restless and anxious, she almost understood the purpose of these people, and they were probably looking for her to accuse them.

"Princess, please obey the authority in urgent matters. Please forgive me for disturbing you late at night." Fan Yueqing said politely, his attitude was excellent.

"General Fan, you're welcome." Gu Yuchu nodded.

"We are really worried about the safety of our children. If the princess knows their whereabouts, I hope you will be considerate and let us know as soon as possible. We will follow the princess loyally without any second thoughts." A general said sincerely.

"Do you think I deliberately hid the news just to make you loyal to me?" Gu Yuchu was shocked. This Qi Yijue is really a good trick. He is in prison but he can get himself into such an unkind and unjust situation with just a few words.

"Stop pretending! He asked to see you by name and talked to you for so long. Do you dare to say that there is no collusion between you?!" A reckless person blurted out regardless of the current situation.

"Shut up!" Fan Yueqing warned, then turned to Gu Yuchu and apologized, "Everyone is confused because of concern. Please be considerate, princess."

"If I really knew the whereabouts of the children and found them directly and handed them over to you, wouldn't it be more able to win over the military's morale? Why have I deliberately delayed these few days?" she asked rhetorically.

"How can you detect my sincerity so easily?"

"You generals, your twisted intestines are comparable to those civil servants in the court!" Gu Yuchu cursed in her heart. No wonder Hehe would overthrow the country. She endured it again and again, squinting her eyes and sarcastically said.

"There's only one day left. Even if you want to test us, it's enough. The child is innocent!" Someone else couldn't help but interrupt.

"I don't care about the title of princess, nor do I covet Hehe's power. I just hope that everyone can unite to fight against Xirong." The more she said, the more outrageous she said. Everyone was talking about it. In order to stabilize everyone's mood, she had to try her best to explain. road.

"Princess is serious." Fan Yueqing still tried to smooth things over in a nonchalant manner.

"We don't care what your intentions are, but as long as you are willing to let them go, we are still willing to serve you as our master."

"Yes!"

"that's right!"

Everyone surrounded Gu Yuchu and expressed their loyalty, which frightened her.

"I really don't know their whereabouts!" Gu Yuchu denied it repeatedly, but the group of men in front of her obviously didn't believe it at all. In desperation, she had no choice but to tell her the conversation in the prison that day, "If I really know, what will happen to Qi Yijue?" They will threaten the lives of Fan Yuan and Hongchai Female Army to force me to rescue him."

Upon hearing this, the generals looked at each other, and Fan Yueqing clenched his fists nervously.

"You have no relatives in prison, why did he only want to hold you hostage?" Someone reacted, full of doubts, while the rest nodded in agreement.

"How do I know?!" Facing the pointing fingers of these people, Gu Yuchu felt really baffled, and the scene suddenly got out of control.

"Quiet!" Fan Yueqing spread his hands. Under his majesty, the group of people under his command were also very understanding.

"In this case, why don't we use the trick? If he is willing to tell where he is hiding, the princess will pretend to rescue him!" He suggested.

“How do we determine the authenticity of a location?”

"Yes, what should we do if we can't find the child after we rescue him?"

"Then make sure the location is true and false before letting him go!"

Everyone started arguing again.

"If the information is given, will you let him go? Qi Jinjue is not a fool?!" Gu Yuchu held his arms and said in a very angry tone. When these people were suspicious of him just now, each one was more powerful than the other, and now they are discussing countermeasures. But it's laggy.

"Then what does the princess say?" Fan Yueqing asked respectfully.

"Honestly, I think this is Qi Jinjue's trap, but apart from what General Fan said, there is really no other better way." Gu Yuchu paused, "So, everyone needs to work together."

"How to say?"

"If you ask Qi Jinjue to tell you the specific location, he will definitely refuse, but you can ask him to tell you a general range. When you get the news, you will immediately lead a team to find it. Use this time to send me to rescue him. Wait until you find the child. From now on, I will put a signal signal on the city wall, and I will escort him back after I receive it."

"How sure are you?" Fan Yueqing was very cautious. After all, the lives of his youngest son, eldest grandson and daughter were the first to bear the brunt. "Try your best." Gu Yuchu couldn't guarantee that he would succeed. After all, Qi Yijue was cunning and suspicious, and he didn't know if he could persuade him.

Without wasting any more time, she endured her sleepiness and went directly to the prison, where she poured a basin of cold water to wake Qi Yijue from his deep sleep.

The man whose limbs were trapped suddenly woke up and opened his eyes to see her. He was indeed unusually calm. At this time, Gu Yuchu suddenly changed his mind.

"You came earlier than I thought."

"Everything is under your control, Prince Ning. We searched for two days and two nights and still found nothing."

"So you figured it out? When are you going to get me out?"

"Those people are not related to me, so there is no need for me to take risks to save them." Gu Yuchu did the opposite without being impatient.

"Then why are you here now?" Qi Yijue endured his guilt and pretended to be confident.

"Prince Ning is a good strategist. This appearance can make Fan Yueqing and others doubt me. Do you want me to get this debt back?" Gu Yuchu paced back and forth, secretly observing his reaction.

"Don't you dare touch me." He responded confidently through gritted teeth.

"Why don't I dare? Even if I can't go back to Dongqi, now Beiling's Embroidered Clothes Envoy has found me. As long as I can kill you, I can take you back to Prince Ling's sect. With a little effort, why not do it?"

"Fan Yueqing will not allow you to do this!"

Qi Jinjue replied loudly. Gu Yu was relieved to see that there was some progress for the first time. She was just gambling, but she hadn't figured out how to end it if she lost.

But now this man was obviously out of control. Gu Yuchu struck while the iron was hot, raised his eyebrows and smiled slyly, and continued to threaten:
"But don't worry, you have known each other after all, and I was once your sister-in-law. No, you don't have to take your life, but...
"but what?"

"If I cut off your tendons and legs, and then blind your eyes with poison, it will be enough to leave you with a mouth. Then General Fan won't say anything more, right?"

"You!" Qi Jinjue was horrified.

"I'm no better than those warriors you took advantage of. Even though I tortured you, it was just physical pain." Gu Yuchu pulled out the dagger, gestured over and over again, and then continued to threaten, "Then where do we start? ? Ha, Prince Ning has always loved music the most, and he is good at playing the piano. I am also a reasonable person, so why not start with the left wrist."

"You insidious and vicious woman!"

"Haha, each other." Gu Yuchu stepped forward and squatted down, grabbing his left hand, which had nowhere to hide, and drew the knife and inserted it into his wrist without hesitation, but the force was appropriate and did not damage the meridians.

Big beads of sweat flowed from Qi Jinjue's forehead, and the blood on his wrists slowly leaked from his clenched hands to the ground, but he was still very stubborn and refused to reveal anything.

Gu Yuchu unconsciously became a little heavier, and the tip of the dagger was half an inch deeper.

"If you bear it any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this hand anymore." Gu Yuchu raised his head and smiled and met Qi Jinjue's hateful eyes, but he still didn't speak.

General He He, who was ambushing outside, was very nervous. If Fan Yueqing hadn't caught him in time, he might have failed.

When Gu Yu first saw him carrying him to death, he immediately cut off his left hand tendon.

Huge pain hit him, and Qi Jinjue couldn't help but cry out.She then walked to his right side. This time, before she could draw her sword, Qi Yijue was convinced and relented.

"In the cellar of the garrison's southern military camp!"

Gu Yuchu was shocked. The most dangerous place is the safest place. They searched Qiongzhou City all over. Who would have thought that he would actually hide people in the base camp of the Hehe army. He was indeed very cunning!

If she had known it was easy, she should have done it directly. Looking at the vicious man, Gu Yuchu regretted her previous hesitation. Now that she had the news, of course she would not save him, so she left on her own.

Fan Yueqing, who was hiding outside the cell, got the news and acted immediately.

After less than half an hour of searching, the group of children were finally found in a deeper compartment under the cellar of the camp in the south of the city. After counting, it was found that not all the hostages had been rescued. Fan Yueqing and the children of several important generals were not there. in.

After several inquiries, the rescued children did not know the whereabouts of the others, and some children said they saw Fan Yuan and others injured, which made Fan Yueqing panic.

It was now less than eight hours before noon on the third day of Qi Jijue's ultimatum. Fan Yueqing was so anxious that he rushed to the prison without stopping and questioned Qi Jijue about the whereabouts of his children.

Qi Jinjue was injured in his left hand and lost a lot of blood and fell into a coma. Fan Yueqing hurriedly called for a doctor to diagnose and treat him, and also fed him precious wild ginseng, so that he could recover.

"Your Highness, if you are willing to tell the truth where my son and grandson are, I will definitely let you go and I will never break my promise."

Qi Jinjue's lips were dry and his face was pale. He thought for a long time, then opened his eyes with difficulty, raised his chin slightly, pointed at Gu Yuchu who had just appeared outside the prison door and said:
"I want you to kill her!"
