……

Shi San and his two companions waited in Guri City for five days and finally brought back Wen Qing's pigeon.

Accompanying him was a team of guards wearing black clothes and black pants, looking murderous.

The leading guard knelt on one knee and apologized to Qin Zhaoning first: "I am late, please punish me, master!"

Qin Zhaoning was anxious to look at it, so he ignored the group of people and unfolded the letter; Shi San, Qiqi Gehas and Meng En also came forward.

Wen Qing comforted Qin Zhaoning in the letter. He obviously didn't believe that Shi San would kill people at will, so he warned in a calm tone: Don't touch Qin Zhaoning, otherwise you won't get any of the information you want to know.

The letter was very long, but most of it expressed concern for Qin Zhaoning. Qiqi Gehas and Meng En blushed when they read it, but Shi San had no reaction.

The key information is at the end: When the incident of Gu Dashi happened, I investigated it. The root of the matter is probably that there was a traitor among you, and he personally took charge of the matter. This person's whereabouts are unknown, and even I can't find any specific traces. This person was last seen in Chaotou Village, Guozhou.

In addition, the Western Di will soon pay tribute to the Northern Qin, and the person behind me will take action. Chaotou Village is also the only way for the Western Di to pay tribute, so I think that person intends to do something to the Western Di.

The letter ends here.

"Tribute? It seems we left a little early and missed the news." Qiqi Gehas said.

Qin Zhaoning was shocked: "You can read Chinese?!"

Meng En was shocked and said, "I told you that you are so shameless. You showed us your love letters without changing your expression. So you think we don't understand Chinese?!"

Qin Zhaoning's eyes went dark and he fell backwards.

The black-clad subordinate on the side hurriedly supported him: "Master! Quick! Bring me the resurrection pill!"

Another subordinate in black took out a porcelain bottle and was about to stuff it into Qin Zhaoning's mouth.

Qin Zhaoning raised his hand and pushed him away: "I'm not dead! Damn it, don't you think I'm embarrassing enough?!"

"The master is here, how could he be lost?" the man in black asked in confusion.

Qin Zhaoning wanted to pinch his own philtrum.

"Resurrection pill?" Qi Qi Gehas asked.

"Good stuff? Should we grab it?" Meng En asked quietly.

"It is said that a miracle doctor in Northern Qin used the branches and leaves of the Resurrection Tree to make a miracle medicine that can revive the dead." Qi Qi Ge said, "As for whether it is really that weird, I don't know."

The leader of the black-clad men's subordinates probably saw that the three Western Hu people were not as threatened in the letter, but seemed to have a good relationship with Qin Zhaoning, so he replied: "It is this medicine, but it cannot bring the dead back to life."

Shi San stretched out a hand.

"What?" Qin Zhaoning asked weakly.

"Resurrection Pill." Shi San said.

Qin Zhaoning opened his eyes wide and said, "How can you just ask for it?!"

"Gu Dashi, save you. Return him." Shi San said.

"This can't bring the dead back to life." Qin Zhaoning swallowed the condemnation that was about to come out of his mouth, "Dead is dead... Forget it, you can give him some. How much do we have?"

The leader of the men in black nodded, and the man in black holding the medicine stuffed the bottle, which was shaking and making a rattling sound, into Shi San's hands.

"Give it all to him?!" Qin Zhaoning was shocked.

"We brought twenty bottles." The leader of the men in black said, "The pharmacist who made the medicine is a subordinate of Lord Wen. He made this thing so that it can be eaten as beans. However, this can only protect the heart meridian temporarily. If you are injured or sick, you have to get treatment in time."

Shi San suddenly felt that this thing was not so good.

But being able to prolong his life for a while was good enough, maybe it could be of some use. He divided the pills in the bottle among himself.

"Let's go." Shi San said.

"Where are you going?" Meng En asked, "Well...um..."

"Chaotou Village." said Qiqi Gehas.

Shi San nodded.

He saw it clearly. Since Wen Qing sent such a group of people, it was obvious that he did not agree to let Qin Zhaoning be involved in this matter. Therefore, the same method of using the mineral resources of Gu Ri City to frame the Su family would not work.

Shi San didn't care about Bei Qin's rule of "having a legitimate reason and a legitimate reason". He thought about killing all the members of the Su family, but the truth was unclear and Gu Yue was a person who didn't want to frame good people... Then they naturally had to make the Su family's ambitions known to the world and clarify the differences between the three branches before they could take action.

Moreover, Gu Yue also wanted to help Gu Xu. Would defeating the Su family be considered helping Gu Xu?

Shi San thought.

Gu Xu seems to be aiming for the throne, but who isn't?

……

Chanzhou.

"You are feeling uneasy right now," the Taoist said. "Want to go down the mountain?"

"Well, what can I do if I'm upset?" Gu Yue straightened the bag on his body, "I am a person who cherishes life anyway. I have lived another life... no, two lives, and I have already let go of everything."

Time flies in the mountains, and Gu Yue didn't count the days. He admitted that he was somewhat escaping from the outside world. Although he missed Gu Xu very much, he still didn't go down the mountain immediately after he recovered.

Whether it was true or false, he knew that he had not let it go.

"Before, you asked me whether everything you did was right or wrong," said the Taoist priest.

"Yes, I have been thinking about this these days." Gu Yue replied, "At that time you said to let me do whatever I want. Since you said that this world is no different from my original world and that it all follows the way of heaven, why is there a cause and effect? ​​It seems that the way of heaven is expecting me to accomplish something, but it does not give me any guidance."

"Resurrection from the dead and returning to my own body is the reward for completing the mission?" Gu Yue asked, "So, the mission is the cause and the reward is the result, is that right?"

The Taoist priest shook his head.

"There is no mission. Heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs. What you do is just like an ant, and it is just perfect."

"It sounds like I'm lucky that I didn't run away on the first day I arrived." Gu Yue said self-deprecatingly, "If I had run away... maybe what would greet me now is Gu Xu's sharp sword. Being killed by someone with destiny, I won't be resurrected, right?"

Gu Yue said: "You said that the heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs, but you also said that Gu Xu is blessed by heaven, so he is also considered a straw dog?"

"The one who controls the life and death of all spirits naturally carries the destiny of heaven." The Taoist said, "The emperor carries the destiny of heaven, the prince carries the destiny of heaven, and Qin Zhaohong also carries the destiny of heaven. Such a person decides the rise and fall of a clan, which is naturally a part of heaven's way."

The superior is also part of the Way of Heaven...

Gu Yue seemed to understand something and did not answer immediately.

"You can go now," said the Taoist priest. "I have calculated for you that your future will be smooth and free of troubles. But after this separation, your fate with me has ended, and we will never meet again."

"I'm really reluctant to let go." Gu Yue said, "But fate always has an end, I already understand."

The Taoist said nothing.

"Thank you for saving me, no matter whether this is a reward or some kind of cause and effect... Taoist Priest, thank you." Gu Yue said sincerely.

He walked out of the mountain gate carrying his bag and bowed to the Taoist priest inside.

The Taoist looked at him with no expression of either sadness or joy.

Gu Yue's figure disappeared on the tree-lined mountain path.
