But this is not the end, Cheng Qi ordered someone to pull out the fangs of another dead soldier of the Xijiang Kingdom, and asked loudly: "Do you have anything else to add to that person's words?" If it spares your life, if not, then die. ”

"Him! What he said was false! That herb is called the Demon Slayer Glass, and we know what it looks like, but it really needs the help of the princess! The man moved his body and added with great flattery.

The interrogation was almost over here, Cheng Qi waved his hand, pulled the truth-telling person out, and slowly tortured the lying one to death.

And Gu Hao's dead soldiers, who originally had some concentration, couldn't hold back anymore when they saw this, even if they were tied, they had to move back a little, as if they could escape in this way.

"Do you want to say it? If you don't say it, I don't mind watching another good show. Cheng Qi's eyes swept to the remaining two dead soldiers, and there was only flatness in his eyes, as if he didn't care about what they said.

"Uh-huh! The two dead men blinked desperately, and the guards on the side untied one of them's acupuncture points and pulled out the fangs.

Yu Qingsheng on the side reminded again: "This rule, it's the same as Fang Cai, let's talk about it, what do you know?" What is the purpose? ”

"We also know about that herb, but the name is also known, we only know that there is a herb, but we don't know what it is, our purpose this time this herb is secondary, the most important thing is to kill the eldest lady..."

The killing intent in his eyes was stronger than ever.

"Why?" Cheng Qi resisted the urge to break the two people in front of him into pieces, and asked again.

"He's of a higher rank than I am, and he should know more, all I can know is what to do," replied the dead man, trembling for fear that if the other man said something superfluous, he would be tortured to death.

"Take it down." Cheng Qi waved his hand, then looked at the man on the ground and asked, "Tell me, are there any other useful clues?" ”

"As long as I say it, will I really survive?" The man asked worriedly, after all, the few people just had just been taken out, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

"Come on, bring them in." Cheng Qi raised his voice slightly outside and commanded.

Soon, the two people who had just been escorted out were escorted back.

After confirming that the two people were still alive, the remaining one on the ground spoke: "The prime minister ordered to kill the young lady because the young lady refuted his face, not only the young lady, but the prime minister also ordered that if the young lady can be dealt with at that time, he will burn Gu Yuan and the old lady together when he comes back." ”

"Tiger poison doesn't eat children, I really didn't expect the dignified prime minister to be such a person!" Yu Qingsheng frowned, knocked on a small table fiercely, and said resentfully.

However, after all, Cheng Qi had long known Gu Hao's character, and it was not surprising for him to have such an order, so his thinking was quite clear.

"How did Gu Hao know about the herb?" Before Cheng Qi asked this, he had already gestured with Zou Quan's eyes, so now there was no outsider outside the entire tent.

"I don't know this very well, but I know a little bit about why I want to take this herb, it seems that I want to give it to a person, but when Xiangye goes to see that person, he always goes alone, so we only know that there is such a person, and the rest really don't know." The dead man replied.

"Alright, let's take it all down." Cheng Qi also knew that if he asked again, it was estimated that they would not know more, but at present, it seems that there is someone behind this Gu Hao!

Yu Qingsheng on the side got up and said with a little worry between his eyebrows: "The person behind this prime minister must not be simple, do you have any doubts?" ”

"I don't dare to make a judgment, but how many people can there be in Jincheng who can make a prime minister, almost a person above ten thousand people under one person, grovel and obey orders? Or is it that looking at the entire Chen country, as well as neighboring countries, how many people can there be? Cheng Qi said this, and the meaning of these words is naturally self-evident.

Yu Qingsheng just nodded and didn't say anything more, and the two returned to their tents with their own concerns.

"When we cross the border tomorrow and reach our territory, we will send someone to pass the news to the master, and we are sending some people to ensure the safety of Gu Yuan's family." Cheng Qi commanded.

Then he paced back and forth in the room, thinking about whether to tell Gu Muyan the content of this interrogation.

After a while, Cheng Qi stopped and turned around and walked towards Gu Muyan's tent.

The next day, the genius was bright, and everyone packed up and went to the direction of Jincheng again, and no one asked much about Princess Pinghu's affairs, as if nothing had happened.

It was as if last night's assassin had been a dream.

Because the dead soldiers who had already let or pass the false news back, there was really no assassin on the way.

It's just that when Cheng Qi and his party were about to arrive in the capital, Gu Hao still sent someone to find out the news, but Gu Muyan had already prepared, so he had already disguised himself as seriously injured.

This made Gu Hao almost sure that Gu Muyan's life was not long enough, and he even acted obediently.

"You tell you to go down, find a drier weather, and throw a fire at Gu Yuan's house at night, but I haven't seen fireworks in the sky for a long time, hum, hahaha!" After speaking, Gu Hao couldn't hold back his ecstasy anymore.

The secret guard got the order and left, leaving Gu Hao alone in front of the desk, writing the words life and death again.

This kind of feeling of life and death between his thoughts is really good, if there is no stumbling block of Taifu, I think I will be more like a fish in water in this capital!

So Gu Hao's hatred for Taifu in his heart is a little more, indeed, if there is no Fu Yin and Fu Wanzhi for this prime minister, I am afraid that he will not have today.

But it is also because of this that Gu Hao's hatred for Taifu is even stronger, and he feels that everything he does is like being stained with Taifu's light.

is like a high position like the prime minister, even if Fu Wanzhi asks to come to this day, if he doesn't have the slightest ability, he won't sit on it, but some people feel that everything they have is given by Mrs. Fu, which makes Gu Hao hate in his heart!

After another two days, Cheng Qi and his party finally arrived outside the gate of the capital, during which Gu Muyan did not show up once, but Gu Hao still didn't fully believe it.

Until the carriage and horse entered the capital, the princess was sent to the palace by Yu Qingsheng, and Cheng Qi hurriedly drove the carriage to the Taifu Mansion, and then rushed to the palace to bring Li Zhonghe back, which made Gu Hao even more convinced that the news was true, and Gu Muyan was really in danger.

Soon, there were all kinds of rumors in the capital, saying that Gu Muyan had actually died halfway through, and some people said that Gu Muyan was seriously injured and unconscious.

What's more, it was rumored that all this was because of Old Lady Fu, and it was he who insisted on letting Gu Muyan find the elixir, which caused Gu Muyan to die.

For a while, the capital was also in an uproar about this incident, and even the palace had quietly spread.

Although the Queen Mother is in a hurry, this is a rumor after all, so she can only wait for the saint to ask a few words when the saint comes to say goodbye.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, the county host is in good spirits! Where is it so easy to get injured, and it is still a serious injury, if this is the case, I am afraid that Taifu would have jumped his feet in a hurry! Imakami comforted, but there were some doubts in my heart.

So in the early dynasty, he specially asked Gu Hao and Taifu, after all, the welcome banquet of Princess Pinghu of Xijiang Country will be held in two days, and it is not a good thing to let Gu Muyan's matter ferment.

Taifu Gu Hao stepped forward and said: "If you go back to Your Majesty, the county lord is not in the old minister's mansion, this is the prime minister's mansion as soon as he returns to the capital, does the prime minister know about this matter?" Did Yan'er really have an accident? How did you become a father? ”

"Master Taifu, don't spew blood! Since the county lord went to Xijiang Kingdom, Benxiang has never seen her again! Gu Hao was full of grievances when he said it, but as for where Gu Muyan was, he naturally knew it clearly, wasn't it in Taifu's mansion?

"Enough! No matter where the county lord is, during the palace banquet, I want to see the county lord! Jin Shang snorted coldly, and after saying this, he retreated.

After the ministers in the main hall saluted and retired, the prime minister stepped forward, walked beside the Taifu and asked, "During the palace banquet, you have to let Gu Muyan come over intact, otherwise the position of the Taifu may not be stable!" ”

"Prime Minister, where is the words, you must know better than me!" After saying this, Old Lady Fu flicked her sleeves and strode away.

The day before the palace banquet, Gu Muyan still didn't show up, and Gu Hao simply took people to Old Lady Fu's house to surround it.

However, Old Lady Fu was extremely generous to let Gu Hao search, and after searching inside and out, he didn't find Gu Muyan.

"Are you sure she hasn't been out?" Gu Hao asked the secret guard beside him softly.

The secret guard nodded heavily and replied: "Not only this Taifu Mansion, but also this nearby mansion has sent people to hold it, if there is a suspicious person or something going out, our people will also follow to investigate, and they will come back after confirming that there is nothing to do." ”

"That is, there is a dark room or a secret passage!" Gu Hao's eyes narrowed, looking at this Taifu Mansion dangerously, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart.

However, Old Lady Fu, who had never shown up during the search of the mansion, showed up when Gu Hao was about to search for the second time.

"Since the prime minister has already searched this Taifu Mansion, he must definitely agree to the official to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to search it, right?" Old Lady Fu stroked her beard, looked at Gu Hao with a righteous look and asked.
