Duanmu Jiya gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Qi fiercely.

If the eyes can kill, it is estimated that she has died countless times, but these don't matter, she is not ugly, if you want to see it, you can do it!

Gu Qi stood aside and let Duanmu Jiya see enough, but the other party was not as calm as her, and after a while, his fierce expression softened.

"I'll give you 100,000 taels, you quickly tell them to release them!" Hmph, she still doesn't believe it, just 100,000 taels of silver, how can she be a princess of a country who can't come up with a reason, but ...... When she's free, she'll make them look good.

Seeing that Duanmu Jiya finally compromised, Gu Qi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Wait, put a handprint on this contract first, in case you regret it......"

"You...... How could my princess do such a shameless thing? ”

Duanmu Jiya glared at Gu Qi angrily, she had never seen such a treacherous woman, but under the eyes of everyone, she was still smart and chose not to be as knowledgeable as her, but she put her finger in her mouth and bit it with some distress, and when she saw the blood, she vigorously imprinted her own handprint on the contract.

"It's okay now, right? Tell them to let them go! ”

Gu Qi looked at the blood-red fingerprints on the contract with satisfaction, smiled at Mu Jiya and shook her head, although this fingerprint has represented evidence, but in this era, DNA cannot be verified, if she blindly denies it afterwards, then who can she find to reason.

"No, I want you to swear." But she knew that the people of this world valued the oath more than their lives, because this kind of oath with heaven and earth as evidence was not a casual joke, and once the oath was broken, she would be punished by the gods.

"Okay, I swear." Duanmu Jiya bit her lip and stretched out her hand to the sky hatefully: "I, Duanmu Jiya, swear that if I break the contract, I will be punished by God, are you satisfied?" ”

Gu Qi didn't speak, just smiled and accepted the contract with the bloody fingerprints, waved at the bandit leader, and motioned for them to open the way and release them.

When everyone got into the carriage and set foot on the road to Shahe County again, everyone let out a long sigh.

"Qiqi, what did you just say to those thieves that they would release people so happily?" Ge Hong was very curious about the release of the other party, and he didn't know what agreement this Gu Qi had reached with the bandit, and they would be so happy to release a big money lord like the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom.

"Didn't say anything." Gu Qi smiled, and glanced at Duanmu Jiya, who seemed to be looking at the scenery outside the window but was actually listening with her ears pricked up, she didn't want this difficult princess to know, she promised the thieves to give them all the seven components of the 100,000 taels of silver that this son gave her, and in case she was discovered by Nanzhaoguo, all the responsibilities were borne by her.

Seeing that Gu Qi didn't want to say anything, Ge Hong didn't say anything, so he also sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and recuperated like everyone else.

I don't know how long it took, just when everyone felt that the bones were going to be shaken apart, they finally stopped at the gate of Shahe County.

"Have you arrived?"

Gu Qi rubbed her sore back, and jumped off the carriage with a little staggering, but before she was full of joy and ready to find a small shop that could solve the Five Organs Temple, she was already stunned by the scene in front of her.

"This ...... Is this Shahe County? ”

Gu Qi looked at the plaque on the gatehouse that was almost falling in surprise, although the handwriting on it was covered with a thick layer of dust, she still saw the three big characters "Shahe County", this is indeed Shahe County.

But seeing that there is no one here, not even a guard, and the surroundings are quiet like a cemetery, I really can't tell that this is actually a county seat.

But where have all the people gone here?

Gu Qi looked at everyone suspiciously, but he didn't expect everyone to be quite shocked when they saw such a scene, it didn't make sense that there would be no one in a huge county.

It's like an empty city.

Empty city! Gu Qi's first reaction was whether someone had set a trap for them, but when he thought that he didn't seem to have offended anyone, he calmed down, and just looked at a few people around him suspiciously from time to time?

Could it be one of them? It doesn't make sense, their group of people is just a small trick among all living beings, and there is no reason why someone would put such a big trap waiting for them to take the bait.

"What about the people of Shahe County? Hurry up and call their county princess to greet the princess. Duanmu Jiya, who had just gotten off the carriage, hadn't noticed the weirdness of this county seat, but just blindly put her princess's shelf, which was annoying to look at.

Gu Qi didn't even look at her, but just asked everyone with a solemn expression: "Shall we go in and have a look?" ”

"Let's go inside, I don't see anything unusual here, it just seems to be a simple decrease."

Qingquan examined it carefully through the hood with his star-like eyes, and the roundabout of the setting sun hit his tall and jade figure, and there was occasionally a sense of independence from the world.

For his words, Gu Qi had no doubts, more precisely, they believed more in what he saw, since he said that there was no problem, then it must be fine.

"Wait, how many of you really want to go in?" Duanmu Jiya stopped in front of everyone, and glanced at the dirty gatehouse with disdain, she didn't want to go into such a dirty place, it would stain her clothes.

"Get out of the way-" Gu Qi looked at this annoying princess coldly, and began to regret that she shouldn't have been rescued from the bandits just now, and now she has to bring a burden for nothing, which is really annoying.

Gu Qi pushed aside Duanmu Jiya, led everyone, and walked straight towards the swarthy gatehouse.

If she might have been worried about safety before, now that she has so many friends by her side, she has no worries, and besides, she is not Duanmu in the late stage of the princess's illness, as long as it doesn't hurt a few of them, she won't care.

Duanmu Jiya watched as a few of them entered the bleak Shahe County gatehouse, and the maid beside her was also asking her opinion.

What's more, the sun in the sky is about to set, and there is nothing around except this Shahe County.

Thinking backwards, Duanmu Jiya stomped her foot and hurriedly pulled her maidservant in the direction of the few of them, rather than staying alone in this desolate and gloomy wilderness, she would rather choose to get her clothes dirty.

"Hey, you wait for me!" Duanmu Jiya shouted loudly in the back, and the empty Shahe County was full of her noisy echoes.

At this time, Shahe County looked extremely desolate in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the empty tile houses on the side of the street were also silently telling them about the prosperity they once had, but when they looked at it, there was really nothing in these houses except for some scattered furniture, and all the places were covered with a layer of heavy dust.
