The current situation in Xihu is extremely unfavorable to them. The secret guards have no choice. They have no other way to save Qin Jiyan. They can only place all their hopes on Gu Qiancheng and follow Gu Qiancheng's request.
What Gu Qiancheng wants is not difficult, but the important thing is quantity!
Gu Qiancheng did not say a specific quantity, only that the more the better, which forced the secret guard to put most of his energy and time into finding things for Gu Qiancheng.
Fortunately, they got in touch with spies from Northern Qi. Beiqi had been operating in Xihu for many years and had infiltrated people from all walks of life. When the spies from Northern Qi learned that they were willing to open a way, they took the initiative to help.
Of course, Qin Jiyan's men are not stupid. They will not hand over everything to the spies of Northern Qi. They only let the spies of Northern Qi collect plant ashes. As for the rest?
They would rather tire themselves to death than expose all their cards.
With Gu Qiancheng in the middle, Qin Jiyan's men took action individually. After Feng Yao knew they had a plan, he didn't interfere anymore.
The maid next to the third princess was led away for a quarter of an hour. She ran back a quarter of an hour later and found that Gu Qiancheng was taking a lunch break. The maid didn't think much about it, let alone report the incident.
If she has to file a report, she cannot escape the responsibility for her dereliction of duty.
As the secret guard expected, the third princess had someone tell Gu Qiancheng early that on the day Zino entered the city, she asked Gu Qiancheng to follow her to pick up Zino.
Gu Qiancheng had no objection. On the day of departure, the third princess had people prepare unusually gorgeous and exquisite clothes for Gu Qiancheng. Gu Qiancheng took one look at it and said, "I'm not used to wearing such clothes. I just wear normal clothes."
good."
The third princess received the news and nodded with satisfaction, "She knows what's going on."
The third princess will not allow a woman to be better than her in front of Zino. Even though she only looks like a lolita, she is a mature woman on the inside.
The third princess was beautifully dressed and looked stunning, but Gu Qiancheng didn't think that Zino would like the third princess unless Zino was a pedophile.
The third princess looks very good, with small, delicate and cute features, but the bad thing is the word "cute". The appearance of the third princess prevents her from being as charming and charming as a mature girl. She will always only have the cuteness of a girl.
Of course, Gu Qiancheng would not say these words. Gu Qiancheng's dress was not impolite but very simple, the kind that you would not find if you were lost in a crowd.
The third princess smiled happily when she saw Gu Qiancheng and took the initiative to invite Gu Qiancheng to ride in the carriage with her.
If it were normal times, Gu Qiancheng would definitely refuse, but today Gu Qiancheng had other plans. She said a few words and half pushed her into the carriage.
Xu wanted to see Zino. The third princess was in a high mood. Even after riding in the carriage for a long time, she was not tired. She pulled Gu Qiancheng to talk about her and Zino.
Speaking of which, this is really an extremely bloody story.
The third princess was playful and walked away from the guards on the way to the temple to offer incense. Then she was abducted by a kidnapper. The other party did not know the identity of the third princess and only thought that the third princess was a girl from a wealthy family. Look at the appearance of the third princess.
She was a good girl and had good temperament, so she wanted to sell the third princess to a brothel.
Also abducted at the same time as her was a little girl from the Ji family. That year, Ji Nuo happened to be doing business in Xihu. When he heard that someone had kidnapped a child of their Ji family, he took the initiative to take over the matter, and then followed the clues to find the kidnapping gang.
Rescued all the kidnapped children, including the third princess.
Of course, the story is by no means as plain as Gu Qiancheng told it. The process is still very tortuous, because this group of kidnappers is a transnational operation. They sold the children kidnapped from Xihu to Northern Qi and Daqin; they also sold the children kidnapped from Daqin.
, sold to Northern Qi and Xihu.
Moreover, they have been in this business for more than ten years and have many masters. Zino had to pay a huge price to steal people from them.
Zino was stabbed while trying to save the third princess. He and the third princess stayed outside to recover from their injuries for more than a month before returning to Xihu with the third princess and his sister.
Zino is a good brother, and the third princess is a little girl of eleven or twelve years old. He does not know the identity of the third princess, and he loves the third princess completely as his younger sister.
However, the third princess didn't think so. When Zino rescued the third princess, although the third princess looked young, she was actually sixteen years old. It was the time when her love affair was just beginning, and the third princess's heart fell on Zino.
She thinks Zino is the only person who doesn't treat her well because of her status.
In the eyes of the third princess, Zino is a great hero who holds a sword and steps on colorful auspicious clouds, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers to rescue the princess in distress.
Gu Qiancheng listened with a smile on his face, and occasionally echoed a few words, praising Mr. Ji for his martial arts skills and narrow heart, but he kept complaining in his heart.
Although it is old-fashioned to say that a hero cannot save a beauty, why do so many people love to use it? Because it has been tried and tested time and time again.
Zino accidentally saved the third princess, so the third princess lost her heart and regarded Zino as more important than herself.
Of course, Zino's appearance and demeanor are also a reason. If Zino looks wretched, short, and vulgar, even if he saves the third princess, the third princess will not be able to secretly love Zino.
From the mouth of the third princess, Gu Qiancheng learned that Zino was slender, graceful, elegant, and noble.
Zino is a noble son raised by a century-old family. If an uninformed person sees Zino, they will never think that he is a merchant.
The third princess was in high spirits. She kept praising Zino for how good-looking she was even outside the city. Gu Qiancheng resisted the urge to yawn and echoed her repeatedly until the maid outside the car said, "Princess, we're here."
The third princess stopped then, got out of the carriage gracefully but unable to hide her eagerness, and waited at a pavilion set up by the roadside for Zino and his entourage to enter the city.
The palace maid had already cleaned up the pavilion, and when the three princesses sat down, the palace maid came to report: "Princess, we have sent people to check ahead, but we haven't seen Master Ji's carriage yet."
"Let's explore again." The third princess held a teacup in her hand and tried her best to hide her excitement.
She hasn't seen Zino for two years, and she doesn't know if Zino has changed.
"Yes." The palace maid stepped back, and the third princess continued to hold the teacup but did not drink. Instead, she kept looking at the preface with deep anticipation in her eyes.
Gu Qiancheng knew that the third princess had an unusually deep affection for the eldest son of the Ji family.
Gu Qiancheng did not come forward to disturb him, but chose a seat farthest away from the third princess and sat down. She had been listening for more than an hour and really didn't want to hear the third princess praise how good Zino was anymore.
The third princess was not in the mood to talk to Gu Qiancheng at this time. She was focused on waiting for Zino, but after a long time, the guards found no trace of Zino.
Ordinarily, Zino is not far away from them at this time, and there is no reason why the guards cannot find anyone, unless it is...
The third princess felt uneasy, "Is something going wrong?"
The third princess once again ordered that half of the guards be sent to find Zino, and they must escort Zino safely into the city no matter what. The guards hesitated for a moment, and at the insistence of the third princess, they had to send half of the guards to pick up Zino.
After taking away half of the guards, the defense around the third princess was greatly reduced. At this moment, the people lurking in the dark moved...
