"Whatever people fear most is what they will gravitate towards." Jiang Mingxuan looked far away and looked outside through the window.
"That's right. I really didn't expect that the Jiang family is not only rotten, but also its roots."
Jiang Mingxiu said sarcastically. Seeing his brother in a daze, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Mingxuan came back to his senses and felt a little depressed: "It's already July, and I don't know when my sister will return home."
The two siblings had never been separated since they were young. This time they were separated for half a month, and he couldn't help but worry and miss them.
When Jiang Shanshan was mentioned, Jiang Mingxiu also thought about it closely.
"It doesn't matter if I'm not here, those sisters from the Jiang family can take care of the trouble and do it themselves, right?"
"That's true."
Jiang Mingxuan nodded in agreement.
At this time, Jiang Shanshan, who was hundreds of miles away, sneezed, thinking it was the cold night at the border, so she wrapped herself in a cloak.
The person on the side looked down and said, "Is it cold?"
"It's okay, but it won't be good if the wind blows too much." Her foundation is not very good. Although she has taken good care of it this year, the losses she suffered when she was young cannot be made up at once.
If you get caught in the rain on a rainy day, it will take a few days to get better. If the cold wind blows too much, you will easily feel sick.
Gu Yuan turned to her side to block the wind, "I asked you to stay at the inn and wait for me. You must come with me."
"I want to see how you trick and kill the third prince of Liao Kingdom!"
Speaking of this, Gu Yuan really doesn't care about other people's affairs.
It's not enough to kill the most beloved little prince, you have to kill another one.
Why is it so bad?
But she liked it so much.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a sharp whistle. Jiang Shanshan looked intently and saw that the people in ambush around him had jumped up and attacked the approaching group of people.
From a distance, I could only vaguely see people fluttering under the torches.
Jiang Shanshan clicked his tongue, "Don't Liao people use their brains? They were deceived like this."
"The third prince's favorite concubine's brother is here. If he doesn't come, what's waiting for him is his head."
"Oh? It turns out it's for my concubine!"
Is that considered a brother-in-law?
"That's not entirely true. That concubine's brother is his right-hand man and has put a lot of pressure on the border."
"No wonder you put so much effort into catching him before."
Jiang Shanshan understood and thought to himself.
This guy is so sinister that he doesn't want to let anyone go.
The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind.
When the two parties were fighting to determine the winner, Gu Yuan and his men suddenly surrounded them.
Heads were harvested decisively.
At this time, the third prince also knew that he had been deceived and became a knife used by others.
He looked at his wife's brother who had been beheaded beside him. The person who ambushed him was indeed the second prince's people, but there must be someone else's hands and feet among them.
And this person is the person in front of you.
Judging from the figure, he must be from the Central Plains. He suddenly thought of the news he had received.
"Are you Gu Yuan?" he said with difficulty, staring at him intently.
Gu Yuan wore a mask, but did not take it off or respond. He only raised his sword and struck at his neck.
The third prince of the Liao Kingdom fell to the ground like this, with a pool of blood spraying all over the ground and staining the soles of his shoes.
Gu Yuan ordered people to put away the heads of the two men, "Arrange and deliver them to the second prince."
Ah Wu got the order and went down to do it without any more nonsense.
The smell of blood made Gu Yuan not approach Jiang Shanshan.
When the night was almost over, he returned to the inn. After washing himself, he said to her: "Have a good rest. We will leave tomorrow. At that time, I will take you to find the descendants of the Lin family."
Jiang Shanshan was shocked, "Have you found out where he is?"
"Not yet, but I have some clues."
"Oh!" Jiang Shanshan was not very hopeful at first.
After all, she had inquired for a long time before and only learned that the person had been transferred away.
It is extremely difficult for criminals sent to the border to survive in these places.
Gu Yuan was right. Although he didn't find out where the person was, he found some traces.
The next day, he still took Jiang Shanshan away alone.
As for Awu and the guards he brought with him, they also walked separately.
In a town on the border, we finally saw the bustle belonging to the Han people, although there were also some Liao people mixed in.
Jiang Shanshan glanced at the women walking on the road. Some of them had their arms exposed and were dressed in smart clothes. They seemed to be people who often walked outside.
"The folk customs here are quite open." She glanced at another woman and saw two men following her, trying to please her in every possible way.
Gu Yuan's expression was calm, as if he had been used to it for a long time.
"This place has always been like this, don't look at it too much." He dragged the person away.
After a while, they arrived at the general's mansion.
I don’t know what Gu Yuan said. Not only did he treat him with respect, but he also took out this roster.
Soon, he found the descendant of the Lin family.
Lin Yi.
"This man made a meritorious service a few years ago and guarded the city gate that was attacked. Therefore, the old general took the initiative to take him into his account. It should be in Bazhou City."
The middle-aged general said, glanced at Gu Yuan, and continued: "As for what's going on now, I don't know, and that place is not under my jurisdiction."
Gu Yuan nodded, thanked him and prepared to leave. The middle-aged general hesitated and reminded: "Third Young Master, although I don't know what your relationship is with him or what you want from him, but I still allow you to say more.
Lin Yi is a sinner after all. If the court finds out, I'm afraid..."
"Thank you for your kindness, General. Gu has his own sense of discretion."
When the middle-aged general heard this, he could only sigh.
After leaving the General's Mansion, Jiang Shanshan thought of some things in his dream.
This city is Cangzhou City, Lin Yi was in Bazhou City, and it seems that it was Bazhou City that Jiang Mingxuan massacred later!
Thinking of this, her mind immediately became clear.
Could it be said that Jiang Mingxuan's massacre of the city has something to do with Lin Yi?
She didn't think it was a coincidence.
However, you still have to find someone first.
The two of them did not delay, rested for one night, and then rushed towards Bazhou.
Two days later, in Bazhou City, Jiang Shanshan rested in a house.
This is a place that Gu Yuan ordered people to take care of. Perhaps thinking that they would stay for a while, even the servants were fully prepared.
After taking a comfortable bath, a maid came to invite her to the flower hall for dinner.
There, Gu Yuan, who had changed into a white robe with wide sleeves, was already waiting. Jiang Shanshan saw that his dark hair was tied with a jade-colored hairband, and his handsome face added a bit of elegance.
Just like when I first met him, I just thought he was a young man from an aristocratic family, he was both dignified and weak.
But who would have thought that his hands could hold a pen and carry a gun into battle.
"Is there any news about the descendants of the Lin family?" Jiang Shanshan sat down opposite him.
Logically speaking, she should call Lin Yi uncle, but she had never seen or even heard of him, and she couldn't call him uncle.
What's more, she still hasn't figured out whether Jiang Mingxuan's massacre has something to do with him!
"Awu went to check. I think he will be found tomorrow."
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and saw that she was distracted again, so he said: "You have been thinking a lot along the way, but are you worried about Lin Yi?"
