Chapter 225: Hostage Exchange
When Gu Tianqing woke up, he found that he was locked in a room.
In the past, she had done this countless times, she had stunned and locked up the people she hated, and tortured them so badly.
It's just that feng shui takes turns, and this time it was herself who was stunned and locked up.
Gu Tianqing was put on a stand by Gu Tianlan, drank the sweat medicine by herself, and thought of the scene she saw before she fell into a coma-
Gu Tianqing's face changed suddenly, and she shouted with a hideous face: "Pearl!"
Gu Tianqing shouted twice, the door suddenly pushed open, and Pearl walked in from the outside.
Pearl was dressed in black, dressed as a martial artist, her hair was tied up, revealing a smooth forehead, with a touch of heroism, completely different from the girl who was smart in front of her but lowered her eyebrows.
Pearl sat down in her chair and glanced at her nonchalantly.
This glance made Gu Tianqing furious: "Pearl, this palace treats you so well, you dare to betray this palace!"
Pearl has served her for many years, and was brought into the palace from the Gu Mansion, this girl is smart and clever, Gu Tianqing regards her as a confidant, Pearl knows everything about herself, she never thought that this girl would betray her!
This pain of being betrayed by someone close to herβdid Gu Tianlan want her to feel how she felt back then? Gu Tianlan regarded her as a close relative, but she stabbed an invisible blade into her chest.
She felt it now, blaming herself for being blind, with endless chagrin and remorse, and wanting to tear the person who deceived her to pieces. But on the contrary, he is a prisoner, and he can't help the other party at all!
"I have never betrayed you, but I am loyal to my master. Pearl said.
"Your master is-Gu Tianlan?!" Gu Tianqing glared at her, her eyes almost popping out.
It's really good, the pearl is placed next to her, it is like putting a pair of bright eyes by her side, what she does, Gu Tianlan knows it completely. No wonder she only failed miserably when she faced Gu Tianlan. She never thought that Pearl would be Gu Tianlan's person.
Pearl did not refute.
Her master was originally General Gu, and after General Gu died, she was silent for many years, and it was not until General Gu reactivated that she saw the light of day. Otherwise, she will always play Gu Tianqing's henchman.
"The traitor around the palace before was not Mama Wang, but you!" Gu Tianqing's face became even more hideous.
Before, Qinghe could quietly approach her and scare her, and Gu Tianqing felt that there was a mole around her. Pearl led her that Mama Wang was a traitor, so she took the opportunity to execute Mama Wang, and now it seems that everything is a conspiracy of Pearl!
This time, Pearl replied happily: "Yes." β
Gu Tianqing climbed down from the bed angrily, but her medicinal properties had not yet passed, so she could only slam on the ground viciously, making a 'bang'.
She thought of the surprise and disbelief on Mama Wang's face when her sword stabbed into Mama Wang's chest.
Gu Tianqing only felt that Mama Wang's acting skills were really good. Now that she thinks about it, she can't figure out why her loyal master would kill her.
She killed her faithful servant, but left behind a spy who trusted in every way.
Hehe.
Gu Tianqing's laughter was poignant, unprecedented pain and remorse.
Pearl stood up, looked at her condescendingly, and turned away.
Gu Tianlan also returned unharmed.
Gu Tianqing fell into her hands.
"Exchange Gu Tianqing for Li Yan. Gu Tianlan said.
Gongsun Yi nodded and immediately released the news. Soon, this news will reach Ji Yingshao's ears through a dense network.
A certain attic in Yecheng.
Ji Yingshao sat in the attic and enjoyed the night view of Shengjiang. His white clothes are fluttering, and the breeze blows, just like a fairy boy.
He was born similarly to Gu Tianqing, so he had a feeling of sympathy for the same disease, understanding her pain and jealousy, even if she was ruthless, Ji Yingshao could only cherish it.
He had never loved a woman like this, and he wanted to marry her. It's just that he was too weak at that time, and he couldn't give Gu Tianqing what he wanted at all.
After knowing that Gu Tianqing and Li Yejin were together, Ji Yingshao only locked himself in the house and chopped off one of his toes, but did not cut off the love thread.
He's built a powerful intelligence network, and she's finally able to see him in the eye.
Later, Gu Tianqing became more and more dependent on him, and she would see him once in a few days.
Ji Yingshao thought about the past and couldn't help laughing.
He set up a bureau and arrested Li Yan to surprise Gu Tianqing.
She fought with Gu Tianlan, failed again and again, her spirit was very poor, and she was already declining. Ji Yingshao is very distressed every time she sees it.
It's just that the secret passage is heavily guarded by Li Ye, and he must reset the spy network in the palace in order to restore contact with Gu Tianqing.
What he didn't expect was that he hadn't yet contacted Gu Tianqing, but he got the news that she had fallen into Gu Tianlan's hands.
Ji Yingshao stood up abruptly, looked at his subordinates who were kneeling on the ground to report the news, the smug expression on his face finally disappeared and became extremely serious.
"You said that Gu Tianlan wants to exchange Gu Tianqing for Li Yan?"
How did Gu Tianlan know that Li Yan was in his hands?
How did Gu Tianlan snatch Gu Tianqing from the layers of guards in the palace?
The man kneeling on the ground said, "Yes, master." β
Ji Yingshao took a deep breath: "You immediately go and check if the queen is still in Ganquan Palace!"
The subordinates soon got the news that the queen had disappeared. When the emperor heard the report, he only responded lightly. He was busy arresting Gu Tianlan and Li Yan at this time, and he had no time to take care of the queen. Or perhaps, he thinks that the queen is doing something, and he will not pay attention to it at all.
Ji Yingshao had no choice.
"Tell Gu Tianlan, change!" Ji Yingshao said.
The place where Gu Tianlan and Ji Yingshao exchanged hostages was located on a grassland on the outskirts of Yecheng.
This grassland is not easy to hide at a glance, and you can see at a glance how many people the other party has brought.
A carriage stopped in the endless grassland, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and three people walked down from it.
Gu Tianlan walked in the front, and behind him was a tall and burly man, wearing a silver mask, who couldn't see his appearance clearly, and grabbed a hostage in his hand - Gu Tianqing.
Gongsun Yi didn't understand what it meant to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so he directly took Gu Tianqing off the carriage and pushed her forward.
Ji Yingshao was already waiting there, his white clothes were not stained with dust, he was still as gentle as a jade son, and when he saw Gu Tianqing again, his eyes changed slightly, adding a little nervousness. He took two people with him. The two sides are evenly matched.
Gu Tianlan saw the little guy who was tied up at a glance.
The little guy's face was dirty, he had lost some weight, he was wrapped in a dirty robe, and he looked stubborn, he was still holding his head high and extremely calm in such a situation, but when he saw Gu Tianlan, the little guy's mouth flattened, revealing an aggrieved expression, and he had the appearance of a four-year-old child.
The two sides are together, but how to exchange them is a problem.
"Before the swap, I wanted to play a game. Ji Yingshao said suddenly, "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, so I will compare my life." β
Ji Yingshao felt that the hostages in his hands were very sufficient. He was unwilling to hand over the hostages so easily.
Gu Tianlan said: "How do you want to compare your life?"
Ji Yingshao had two more pears in his hand. He placed the smaller pears on top of Li Yan's head, and added a bow and arrow in his hand.
"At a distance of 100 meters, if you can shoot the pear on the top of your head, then you will exchange them, and if you shoot and I don't shoot, I will hand over this child to you. If I shoot and you don't, you will give me the sunshine. Ji Yingshao said.
Gu Tianlan had no choice but to say, "Okay." β
Moreover, she has been practicing archery since she was a child, and archery has long been superb. This is an advantage for her.
Gongsun Yi's brows under the silver mask furrowed slightly.
Ji Yingshao threw the pear in his hand along with the bow and arrow.
Ji Yingshao came first.
Gu Tianlan put the pear on top of Gu Tianqing's head.
Gu Tianqing stood up straight, without the slightest timidity on his face, and looked at Ji Yingshao so calmly. Ji Yingshao smiled, and Gu Tianqing also smiled.
Ji Yingshao pulled her bow, the bow was off the string, and shot towards Gu Tianqing, only two inches away from her front door, bringing up a strong wind, piercing into the pear on her head, and then falling to the ground.
Gu Tianlan didn't expect Ji Yingshao's archery skills to be so good.
It was Gu Tianlan's turn.
Gu Tianlan pulled up the bow in his hand, and when he stared at the little guy's eyes, Gu Tianlan finally knew Ji Yingshao's intentions.
The little guy's eyes were shining, and he stared at her so calmly, but Gu Tianlan's hand couldn't help but tremble.
The person in front of her is not an enemy, but flesh and blood connected to her blood. If she deviates the slightest, the little one's eyes will never be opened.
Gu Tianlan's hands trembled more and more, and the direction he aimed at was getting higher and higher.
If he misses, the little guy is at least alive, and she can find other ways to save him. If it was shot into his forehead, the little guy ......
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Gu Tianlan's forehead.
"I'll do it. Gongsun Yi said.
Gongsun Yi patted her on the back and took the bow and arrow from her hand.
Gongsun Yi's gaze met Li Yan.
The little guy stood there motionless, but his eyes showed a hint of defiance.
- Cheap Master, can you do it?
- Heh, Master will let you see if Master is okay. You ready?
- Come on, grind and chirp.
Gongsun Yi winked at him, and the arrow in his hand flew out with a 'whoosh'.
Gu Tianlan's eyes didn't blink, his heart fluttered, and when he saw that the arrow had hit the pear and the little guy was safe and sound, Gu Tianlan seemed to be alive again.
Ji Yingshao's eyes couldn't help but look at the person wearing the silver mask, at first he only felt that this person was extraordinary, but now it seems that this person's archery skills are so good, and Gu Tianlan trusts him so much, it can be seen that this person's identity is not ordinary.
He looked at it, then withdrew his gaze.
Hostage exchange.
The two of them took the hostages and walked towards the middle, and then handed the hostages in their hands to the other at the same time, and each returned to the place with their own people.
Li Yan was hugged tightly by Gu Tianlan, and called sweetly: "Mother." β
Gu Tianlan touched the little guy's whole body, and when he saw that he was safe and sound, he was relieved.
Li Yan glanced at Gongsun Yi, pursed his lips, and said restrainedly: "It's okay." β
"How can you be your master?" Gongsun Yi said with his lips hooked.
Under the sunset, the figures of the three of them were stretched very long, and they stood together in harmony, a bit like a family.
Gu Tianqing glared at this scene viciously.
Compared to this harmonious scene, she was extremely depressed.
