"Who are you!"

Gu Linqiao looked at the person in front of him coldly, with a stern expression.

The man chuckled and clasped his hands behind his back. Facing Gu Linqiao's murderous look, he was in a very relaxed state.

"I'm the one who helps you!"

Hearing this, Gu Linqiao tightened his lips but did not relax his vigilance.

The man looks majestic, and his clothes are simple but elegant. Judging from his appearance, he is either rich or noble.

"You know who I am? You just want to help me?"

Gu Linqiao sneered, "That's quite loud!"

The man met Gu Linqiao's gaze and said word by word, "I am the kind of person you have always wanted to find."

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you."

Hearing this, Gu Linqiao held the dagger in his hand tighter and asked coldly, "Is the assassin who entered the palace tonight your work?"

"Yes!" The man admitted bluntly, and then said, "But he is a dying man and has no intention of coming out of the palace alive!"

Zhao Yan walked out from behind Gu Linqiao and looked at the man in front of her coldly, "I have never met you, let alone have an enemy with you. What good will it do to you to kill me?"

"He can't kill you!"

The man smiled and said, "You took care of him too, didn't you?"

"You look so confident and have everything under your control. It's really annoying!"

Gu Linqiao saw the shadow of Zhao Liquan in him, and she was filled with rage. She didn't believe what he said at all, she just wanted to send him away and not interfere with her own affairs, otherwise she would not be merciful.

"If I gave Princess Qi such an illusion, it's my fault. I just apologize."

The man apologized with a smile and a humble attitude, which was completely opposite to Zhao Liquan's arrogant look.

Gu Linqiao didn't say anything. Zhao Yan stared at the man and asked warily, "What are you trying to do by stopping us here?"

The man smiled and said, "I want to tell Princess Qi and Miss Zhao that there is someone like me in the capital!"

Gu Linqiao sneered, "What's wrong with someone like you?"

The man said, "If you have something that can't be solved, you can come to me."

Zhao Yan asked again, "Why are you helping us?"

"Of course it's because you have something that can help me!"

As the man spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and threw it directly to Gu Linqiao.

"If you want to deal with Zhao Liquan, come to Lingyun Pavilion to find me!"

The man looked at Zhao Yan with a smile, "If Miss Zhao has nowhere to stay temporarily, you can come find me."

Say it, he clasped his hands and flew away.

Zhao Yan stared at the man's rapidly disappearing figure and couldn't help but say, "His kung fu looks very powerful!"

"It's really not weak!"

Gu Linqiao lowered his eyes and looked at the jade pendant in his hand. After looking at it carefully, he handed it to Zhao Yan.

"dragon!"

Zhao Yan raised her eyes to look at Gu Linqiao and said in surprise, "His surname is Long?"

Gu Linqiao hummed, and Zhao Yan added, "This surname is rare, and... this piece of jade is of primitive quality and is old. I'm afraid..."

Gu Linqiao looked at her and asked, "What did you guess?"

"Before the Great Northern Dynasty, some big families disappeared over the years, but it was not because they declined, but because they didn't bother to show up, so they could hide in the world."

Zhao Yan looked slightly worried, "I'm afraid this is the same for the Long family!"

Hearing this, Gu Linqiao pondered for a moment, and then immediately asked her, "What other great hidden families do you know?"

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, there are some more!"

"Go back and tell me!"

"Ah?" Zhao Yan was confused, and Gu Linqiao pulled her away.

After quietly returning to Gu's house, Gu Linqiao directly pulled Zhao Yan into his room. Looking at the simple and simple room in front of him, Zhao Yan was slightly surprised.

Seeing her surprised expression, Gu Linqiao asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Yan was surprised and said, "You are also Princess Qi after all. Is this room so...simple?"

The word scribble almost came out of his mouth, but Zhao Yan changed his words in time.

"I think those things are cumbersome and I don't want to display them. I just want to put the necessary things in the house."

Gu Linqiao said and sat down. He was really tired after running around all night.

Zhao Yan also sat down on the stool beside her. Gu Linqiao suddenly said, "Zhao Liquan has sat on this stool!"

"what?"

Zhao Yan jumped up immediately as if she had been pricked by a needle, looking at her with horror on her face.

Gu Linqiao was amused by her appearance, "Don't worry, Zhao Liquan is not here. He just came before I entered the palace tonight."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Did he break in?"

Gu Linqiao snorted, "Otherwise? Do you think the Gu family will open the door to welcome him?"

Zhao Yan's eyes welled up with hatred, "People hate ghosts, who would welcome him into their home!"

Zhao Yan's eyes welled up with hatred, but he quickly adjusted it, "You just asked me what other big hidden families there are..."

Gu Linqiao stopped her, "I'll tell you later!"

Zhao Yan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I even called someone over!"

"Who!"

"Don't worry, he doesn't know you, and you don't know him!"

Zhao Yan leaned on the chair and looked at the roof with a tired look.

Gu Linqiao stood up and went out. Zhao Yan immediately straightened up and asked alertly, "Where are you going?"

"kitchen!"

Zhao Yan leaned back again.

After a while, Gu Linqiao came back, not only making hot tea, but also bringing snacks and two bowls of pig's trotters noodles.

"It's going to take half a night, so let's take some rest first!"

Gu Linqiao put the things on the table, and Zhao Yan immediately walked over. She was originally going to have tea and snacks, but seeing how delicious the noodles were that Gu Linqiao ate, she became greedy and immediately brought another bowl of noodles to her. Eat in front of you.

Pork trotter noodles in clear soup, really delicious!

Halfway through the meal, Zhao Yan couldn't help but say, "I've never eaten pig's trotters before, let alone noodles late at night!"

Gu Linqiao understood, "To keep in shape?"

Zhao Yan nodded, "The size of the skirt is just right. It won't work if you are too thin, and it won't work if you get fat!"

"And eating pig trotter noodles in the middle of the night is almost as scary as eating noodles in the middle of the night!"

Gu Linqiao said, "I didn't expect this day to come. I even thought that if you wanted to die, I wouldn't mind giving you a ride!"

Zhao Yan pouted, "You are so cruel!"

"Whoever hurts me, I will retaliate a thousand times a hundred times!" Gu Linqiao's tone became even more fierce.

Zhao Yan said quickly, "I am your ally now, not your enemy. Although you may not necessarily think highly of me, I still think so!"

"As long as you cause trouble for Zhao Liquan, you will be an ally!"

Gu Linqiao's purpose was simple, the enemy of her enemy was her friend, and Zhao Yan didn't do anything bad, and even secretly helped her and Feng Yunsu, which was enough to save her life.

As soon as Zhao Yan finished eating his noodles, there was a knock on the door.

Zhao Yan looked at Gu Linqiao subconsciously, and Gu Linqiao signaled her not to panic, "The person I mentioned is here!"
