Chapter 187

Half an hour ago, under the old tree.

Taking advantage of the refusal to be restrained on the carriage, Gongsun Meng came to Dugu Xiwei and said with a joyful expression: "Young master, I am here to save you. I know that you must have no choice but to be controlled by her. Although I don’t know who the young lady is, don’t be afraid. I have ordered my servant to wait for you a few miles away. Come with me.”

Gongsun Meng looked at Dugu Xiwei with sincerity and expectation, but he brushed away the hand he was familiar with expressionlessly.

"You... weren't you tapped on your acupuncture points?" she asked in surprise.

Through these few days of observation, Gongsun Meng also figured out the relationship between them.

It is not difficult to see that among the people in the car, the first one refused.

Although the man named Qingzhu is young, he seems to know some martial arts. Every time before getting in the car, Xie Xie will order him to get in the car first and do some acupuncture for Dugu Xi. To put it bluntly, Qingzhu's responsibility is to guard him.

As for Mr. Xu, this person seems to be ordinary in appearance, but in fact he is unfathomable. Gongsun Meng cannot figure him out. He can only tell that he has a bad relationship with Dugu Xiwei, because in the past two days, the two of them have been secretly talking about each other. Not a word was said.

In this way, she only needs to create a simple chaos, and then take the opportunity to lure Qingzhu away, and then she can take Dugu Xiwei away without any effort.

But Gongsun Meng had calculated countless times, but he never reached this point.

She never thought that her carefully planned rescue plan would be rejected by Dugu Xiwei without any appreciation.

"Why? Don't you want to regain your freedom? She imprisons you like this every day, and it makes me feel bad to see her."

Dugu Xi's eyebrows slightly raised. Gongsun Meng's words that he thought were extremely affectionate sounded like dirty words to him.

He interrupted coldly, "Your name is Gongsun Meng, is your mother Gongsun Zhang?"

Gongsun Meng was very surprised and asked: "Yes, how do you know my mother's name?"

"You don't have to worry about this matter. I have a letter that I want you to send to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion in Kyoto. Can you do it within three days at the latest?" Dugu Xi said in a concise and concise manner, clarifying the purpose of his visit.

"The Imperial Tutor's Mansion in Kyoto?" Gongsun Meng's mind went blank for a moment, and he asked in great shock: "Who are you from the Dugu family?"

Dugu Xiwei never liked talking to stupid people.

He had already made his words so clear, but to his surprise, Gongsun Meng still kept asking about his identity.

He could only say bluntly, "My name is Dugu Xiwei."

Gongsun Meng gasped, and Zhang Huang quickly knelt down to him in confusion, "Master Dugu, please forgive me, but I was blind and did not recognize you. When my mother took me back to Qiyang from Kyoto when I was young, I saw you from a distance. One side, just..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Dugu Xiwei didn't have the patience to listen to Gongsun Meng talk about his past affairs, his voice was low and cold, "I just ask you, can you do it?"

"Yes, I will definitely deliver it to you within three days." Gongsun Meng finally felt relieved.

"Okay, in that case, without further ado, you should find a way to leave as soon as possible." After that, Dugu Xi took a slight step and was about to walk away. Gongsun Meng suddenly chased him forward and stopped him, "What about you? Mr. Dugu, let me take you with me!"

Dugu Xi turned her head slightly, staring at her up and down as if her eyes were filled with extremely cold ice.

Then, he said with great indifference and disdain: "Have you forgotten why your Qiyang Gongsun family is what it is today?"

Gongsun Meng lowered his head, not daring to say anything to save him anymore. He could only watch the white figure walking further and further away.

My thoughts can't help but drift away.

His Majesty had just issued an order this time, instructing each state government to select bachelors based on their knowledge and virtues to travel to Kyoto. Gongsun Zhang called Gongsun Meng to him. He told the story of the gradual decline and decline of the five great noble clans in Jiyue a hundred years ago.

In fact, if her mother hadn't told her personally, Gongsun Meng would never have believed that the Gongsun family's current status and reputation were all due to the support of the Dugu family a hundred years ago.

Gongsun Zhang said that at that time, the Dugu family could be said to dominate the Jiyue Quartet. The clan was prosperous and spread all over the country. There were many talented people in the clan, with both ability and political integrity. However, it was only because of a curse later.

Gongsun Meng continued to ask about the curse, but was severely punished by Gongsun Zhang.

Not only that, Gongsun Zhang even personally led her to recite the family motto that had been passed down by the Gongsun family for hundreds of years in front of the ancestors of the past generations.

For more than a hundred years, the Gongsun family has always followed the principle of treating the Dugu family as a leader, responding to requests, and never allowing any of their descendants to be enemies of the Dugu family or be disrespectful.

Because without the kindness of the Dugu family, there would be no Gongsun family in Qiyang today.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Meng suddenly sighed.

Although I have already guessed that a person as noble as him and with outstanding temperament will definitely not be the son of an ordinary family, but why should he be a member of the Dugu family? If she wasn't from the Dugu family, she might still have some room to stay...

……

Two hours later, they passed through a tall stone mountain.

Qingshui Village finally appeared in front of everyone.

The village is located at the foot of the stone mountain. Looking around, there are only seven or eight dilapidated thatched houses spread out crookedly. In the dusty yellow mud, it seems that as long as there is a storm that is not rough, the place can be easily destroyed. Razed to the ground.

How could they call such a desolate and dilapidated place a village?

If you live here, let alone falling into trouble, even if you see a living person, you will want to rush up and take a bite.

"Darong, why are you back?" A young man with disheveled hair suddenly emerged from a thatched house not far away. His face was covered with something unknown, it was pitch black, and he looked no different from a savage.

If it weren't for the man approaching, a half-year-old child who was sleeping soundly was tied up with a piece of cloth on his back.

If you refuse, you will really think that you have entered a savage valley.

"Is this the Qingshui Village you're talking about?" Xu Boyan's incredible voice came from behind, and he couldn't help but agree, "No wonder you want to become robbers."

The third child heard the sound and walked forward lamely, "Our family is still behind, I'll take you to have a look, heroine!"

Declined and waved his hand in refusal.

Finally, she turned around and said, "Qingzhu, let everyone go."

The untied villagers ran to Ma Rong. At this moment, Xie Xue suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water coming to his ears. He remembered the name of the village and asked Ma Rong, "Where is the water?" Let’s go take a look.”

Xu Boyan stepped up to follow, and the two of them walked towards the foot of the stone mountain.

This mountain has rugged rocks and no grass growing on it. Only someone seems to have cut a ridge halfway up the mountainside. The rainwater that has been accumulated in the mountain for a long time is now flowing down the stone wall.

Xu Boyan asked: "Does it rain a lot here?"
