"Isn't this impossible? Could someone be pretending?" Old Man Gu wiped his face, his eyes full of suspicion.
Mingyue became anxious: "It's true! One of my personal guards once stayed at the border, and he said he was from Qi!"
Gou Sheng'er didn't believe it either: "It's thousands of miles from the border to Lanjing. How could it be possible to go straight in without being discovered? Are all the states and counties along the way dead?"
Old Man Gu thought of the frontier army brought by Meng Jia.
That border army was a result of the Empress Dowager and the Lin family pretending to be public servants for their own benefit. They took advantage of their authority and hid the truth from King Shou, and ordered them to be secretly covered by the prefectures and counties along the way.
It is difficult to say that the people of Qi State took advantage of this opportunity, disguised themselves as Zhao State troops, followed closely behind, and arrived secretly.
If your own fence is not firmly built, how can you blame your enemies for being cunning?
The more Old Man Gu thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case, so he immediately sent someone to investigate.
Someone came in and whispered: "Someone from the Meng family followed me just now. They even asked about your injury, and now they left quietly."
Old Man Gu said: "Let's not worry about it for now. Who is the leader of the Royal Forest Army guarding the Priest's Palace these days? Find him immediately. Where is the eldest sir? Go and fetch him."
He must sort out these clues before Gu Fenglin wakes up and make an early judgment in favor of Mu Yunhan.
At this moment, the life and death of the two masters of the Priest Palace are unknown, and it is really a critical moment.
"I'm here." Mr. Gu hurried over with a dejected look on his face: "How is Alin?"
Old Man Gu said: "You are stable now. There is no serious problem for the time being. Master, I need to know what is going on here, Madam."
Mr. Gu was like an eggplant beaten by frost, his expression became even more exhausted: "She is gone."
Old Man Gu grasped the key: "Madam is not in Sixian Building?"
Mr. Gu said: "A few days ago, Han Yatou found that something was wrong. Besides the Lin family, there seemed to be someone else who wanted to deal with her, so she made some arrangements.
There is a tunnel below Sixian Tower that leads directly to the temple. I made an appointment with her to meet at the temple, but she didn't come.
I only found her two maids and Mu Li in the secret passage below the temple, both of whom were seriously injured and unconscious."
Old Man Gu felt a burst of angina pectoris.
Hearing another commotion outside, a man was pushed in hard and fell to the ground. He cursed viciously: "Let me go, how dare you attack me? Do you know who I am?"
It was none other than Jin Liquan himself.
Without saying a word, Old Man Gu stepped forward and slapped him hard, causing stars to pop out of his eyes, his ears to buzz, and his mouth and nose to bleed.
Old Man Gu pulled out a steel knife and looked at him coldly: "Do you see clearly? I ask you, if you don't answer well, the first knife will cut off the left ear, the second knife will cut off the right ear, and the third knife will cut off the nose.
, and so on, until you are reduced to a human stick. Don’t expect that your master will come to save you, before that, I will kill you first.”
Jin Liquan glared at Old Man Gu fiercely without saying a word. Old Man Gu grabbed his left ear and cut it off without saying a word.
He yelled: "Get everyone out!"
Old Man Gu then winked and told everyone to exit.
Jin Liquan said angrily: "...The Lin family ordered me to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap the priest's wife and put her in a dungeon, so that I can hold the priest hostage and wait until the opportunity is right to kill them.
Mrs. Anguo was smart and guessed it, so she told me that she would exchange a lot of money for his life..."
