Gu Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she asked Xia Ling to help Qingsong up. Qingsong was covered in dust and had an indescribable tiredness on his face. He could tell that he had traveled day and night to get back.

Gu Nanzhi turned around and entered Gu's house with him.

Qingsong's lips were chapped, his eyes were so anxious that they were bloodshot, and he opened his mouth to talk about Pei Zhaojiang.

"It won't take long, you drink a cup of tea first to moisten your throat." Gu Nazhi asked Xia Ling to pour him a cup of tea. He drank it all in one gulp, and then licked his chapped lips with lingering thoughts.

Xia Ling poured him another glass without saying a word.

Qingsong drank several cups of tea before he seemed to be more energetic. His eyes became moist as soon as he spoke, "County Master, my young master was wronged. He didn't write any cheat sheets during the monthly exam."

Of course Gu Nazhi knew that Pei Zhaojiang was not such a person.

The young man is sincere and sincere, unlike the Pei family, who harbor dirt and evil. Moreover, he is a disciple of Confucian Zhou. With such a good teacher, there is no need to worry about not being able to stand out. He just needs to pass the insignificant monthly exam. Making a fuss?

Qingsong continued angrily: "Mr. Jiang was jealous that the young master had just entered Yuelu Academy, yet he had won every opportunity, so he used such despicable means to harm the young master. Of course he did not acknowledge what the young master had not done. During the dispute, Mr. Jiang and the young master started pushing each other, and the young master accidentally pushed Mr. Jiang to the ground. Who would have thought that Mr. Jiang’s head would hit the steps, and he would not survive at that time. They said that the young master intended to kill someone, so they arrested him and insisted on killing him. The young master paid for Mr. Jiang's life and sentenced him to be beheaded in public. In three days, the young master will be beheaded."

Gu Nazhi didn't believe that Pei Zhaojiang could kill someone. She was filled with doubts. Why did Mr. Jiang's head hit the steps? It was undeniable that there were coincidences in this world. Excluding the slim probability, most coincidences were man-made.

"Have you ever seen Terue in prison?"

Qingsong nodded, "The villain spent his money and tried his best to meet with the young master. The young master said that he did not push Mr. Jiang at all, but Mr. Jiang pulled him and then fell to the ground."

This is the doubtful point.

"Have you ever gone to see Zhou Daru?" If Zhou Daru came forward in this matter, it would be twice the result with half the effort.

Qingsong shook his head first, and then nodded, "Zhou Daru is the young master's mentor. As soon as I entered the capital, I went to find Zhou Daru first. Unexpectedly, Zhou Daru went out to travel. I really had no choice, so I Please come to the County Lord."

Gu Nanzhi immediately asked someone to pack things.

Even if the waterway is fast, it will take a day and a night to get from Kyoto to Yuelu Academy, even if you travel without sleep.

Seeing Gu Nazhi preparing to go to Yuelu Academy without saying a word, Qingsong was greatly moved. Without saying a word, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her three times, "Thank you, County Lord."

He thought that Miss Gu had hated the Pei family, and now that she was the head of the county, she would never meddle in such nosy matters.

It’s not in vain that the young master treated her...

Gu Wenhe went to the morning court and had not returned yet, and Gu Nanshan was not at home either. Gu Nanzhi talked to Mrs. Wen, and she also asked Linglong to deliver a letter to Xie Ni, telling him not to worry.

She didn't dare to delay for a moment. After leaving Kyoto in a carriage, she changed to the water route and followed the river southward.

On this trip, she brought Bailu and Shuangsheng with her, and they were on a passenger ship. There were not only them on the ship, but also other guests, and Qingsong was traveling with them.

Gu Nanzhi knew that Linglong and the Yueying Guards were protecting them secretly, so he was not worried at all.

There are a lot of things going on in the morning today.

By the time Xie Ni received the news, Gu Nanzhi and the others had already been walking along the waterway for an hour. Even if he asked someone to catch up, they could not catch up.

The carriage wobbled.

He leaned against the carriage, his brows furrowed, and his face looked displeased.

Just Pei Zhaojiang, how could it be worth putting her own life in danger? !

Speaking of which, Pei Zhaojiang is Pei Luobai's younger brother. This is her former brother-in-law. What does his life and death have to do with her?

Xie Ni felt like there was a lump in his chest that couldn't come up or go down. It was like it was stuck in his throat, making him uncomfortable wherever he looked.

His eyes dropped to freezing point, and he looked critically at Hotzen, who was already huddled in the corner.

Hotzen: "..."

Why do adults look at him like this?

Did he do something wrong? !

"Sir, what are your orders?" He said hesitantly.

Xie Ni glanced over with a cold look, "Did I ask you to speak?"

Hoten immediately fell silent. He remembered that he would never speak until the adults spoke.

He rolled his eyes and felt that the carriage was filled with a strong smell of vinegar, comparable to the century-old Shanxi mature vinegar...

Suddenly, he had an epiphany!

It was he who told the adults that the girl went south to rescue Master Pei.

Sir, this is jealous! ! !

Xie Ni rested his head on one hand. He closed his eyes to cover the anger in his eyes. He was thinking about whether to send a message to Linglong and ask her to come back. The smallest thing was worth her going south. She wanted to save Pei Zhaojiang, but it was just a matter of his words. .

In fact, what he wanted to do most was to go with her.

However, there were too many people staring at him now, and he went south for no reason. If he drew those people's attention to her, wouldn't it expose her to everyone's eyes.

It's not right.

After a long while, he closed his eyes and said: "Sending a message to Linglong, we must protect her. Also, are there any of our people in Tanzhou?"

Only then did Huo Cen dare to speak, "Sir, yes, the governor of Tanzhou is one of ours."

Xie Ni didn't even raise his eyes, "You know what to do."

Of course Huo Cen knew, and he immediately sent a message to the magistrate of Tanzhou, telling him to take more care of the county owner and treat her as his own mother.

Choi family.

Cui Yao was furious. The wedding was about to come, and she actually hurt her face, and the injury was very serious. The red skin was turned outwards, extending from the corner of her right eye to the corner of her mouth. The right half of her face was swollen, and she was in pain all night. sleep.

She has seen several doctors, and even the royal doctors in the palace have visited her. No one can guarantee whether there will be scars on her face.

Listening to their muffled words, she had already guessed that her face would definitely be scarred.

How is this possible?

She is the most beautiful woman in the Wei Dynasty.

And she is about to marry Lord Chief Assistant.

How could the first assistant's wife be so ugly? Even if the first assistant didn't dislike her, she couldn't stand the strange looks from everyone.

"Someone must be able to heal my face. Quickly, go find a doctor for me." Her face was distorted and she swept everything on the dressing table to the floor.

"Yes, yes, slave, go right away." The slave girl on the side turned around and ran out.

"Girl, Qin Feng has something important to report." Just as the maid left, her wet nurse, Mama Jiang, walked in hurriedly.

Cui Yao's eyes flashed. She put on her veil and then said, "Let him in."

Qin Feng strode in, bowed his hands to her, and then whispered a few words in her ear.

Cui Yao's eyes lit up, "Did you see clearly that that bitch Gu Nanzhi really left Kyoto and headed south along the way?"

Qin Feng nodded, "My subordinates can see clearly."

Cui Yao let out a chilling sneer, "This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I will make sure she never comes back."
