Chapter 124: Inquiries in the Main Hall
Under the guidance of Holly, Gu Qingyan came to the place where they fought, and Holly didn't find anyone to deal with the scene, so she knew that Gu Qingyan was bound to come here to take a look.
The blood stains that have dried up on the ground are actually not very obvious, plus there has been wind in the past few days, and it has already blown a scattered, and some can still be found on the surrounding trees, there are not many blood stains, but there is a concentration that is obvious, and if you think that people are not dead, they are seriously injured.
The strength of the sword also left some marks on the tree, Gu Qingyan looked at it, and could judge that these people's martial arts were not weak, originally she saw Holly, and she didn't think they would be injured, so she didn't ask much, now it seems....
"You're not hurt, are you?" Gu Qingyan turned around and asked Holly, who had been following behind him.
Seeing Holly shake her head, she withdrew her gaze and continued to look around. There was a bend in the road from their fight, and there was a mountain bag on one side.
Behind a pile of branches and weeds is a cave that can accommodate more than half a person.
"Hidden enough." Gu Qingyan sneered.
Holly lowered her head a little ashamedly, to be honest, if it weren't for these people, they would never have found that there was a cave in the back mountain that could hide people.
Gu Qingyan lowered his head and bent down slightly, the cave was not deep, he reached the end within twenty steps, and there was nothing suddenly clear inside, it was very simple.
There was a pile of grass and dead branches in the middle, which had been burned, and it was the light and warmth of the people at night. There was nothing left next to it, except for the unused branches.
Gu Qingyan touched the wall of the cave, thinking that they slept against the wall at night, there were just some weeds on the ground, there was no food left, and there was no food residue, only a feather under the grass mat that did not belong here.
In such an environment, a group of five people can endure for fifteen days, and I have to say that their perseverance, endurance and survivability are beyond the ability of ordinary people.
"You didn't ask anything, did you?" Gu Qingyan and Holly asked him when they came out of the cave.
Holly nodded, he knew that these people were hard to bite, soft and hard not to eat, since he tied people back, he asked for a round, and if there was no result, he switched people on and off first.
Gu Qingyan sighed lightly, and the two of them were about to go back, saying on the way: "It's not your fault, the Nanwan royal family has a convention that everyone acquiesces into. ”
Holly looked at Gu Qingyan, and there was a trail in front of her that was not easy to walk, and Holly took the handle and let Gu Qingyan go down first.
After the two of them arrived at Pingdi Mountain, Gu Qingyan continued: "Whether it is the prince or the emperor, each person will cultivate a group of people in the mansion, these people are different from the soldiers in the barracks, and they are also different from the guards assigned according to their grades, most of them are capable people who are attracted by the prince and the emperor themselves. ”
"So these people are not only strong in martial arts, but also have good psychological abilities?" Holly Road.
Gu Qingyan nodded: "But not every mansion is good at recruiting people with strong martial arts, some people love poetry and books, there are more literati, some people love to have fun, and there are more celebrities." ”
While talking about Gu Qingyan, he thought about the preferences of those people in the palace.
"Oh, by the way, these people are generally known as doormen and guests, but most of them are not for the sake of their lives."
Holly followed Gu Qingyan's words and thought, "Deadpool? ”
It's not uncommon for the Nanwan royal family to have Deadpool, so if it's not a guest, only Deadpool's identity is more suitable.
But who knew that Gu Qingyan didn't answer after hearing this, and said that he would go and see it first. She wasn't sure, after all, if it was Deadpool, they would rather kill themselves than fall into the hands of Holly.
"How many days has Dong Ling been gone?" Gu Qingyan remembered that there was still this matter, and asked Holly.
Holly calculated and said, "It's been three days, and it's time to go to the bamboo forest." He is the best at dealing with the aftermath, and the master can rest assured. ”
The two of them were talking closer and closer to the torture room, and the people in charge of the management of the torture room were Dong Xuan and Dong Ran in the Twelve Ghost Guards, and the two saw Holly coming over with Gu Qingyan and stepped forward to salute.
"See Master."
"What's going on inside?" Gu Qingyan asked as she walked inside.
Dong Xuan said: "I detained the five people separately and searched them, but there was nothing. ”
Gu Qingyan sneered, and Dong Xuan led him past the room where the five people were detained, even though they were separated, they were all sitting cross-legged in one posture, their eyes closed, they heard footsteps, and their ears moved slightly.
Gu Qingyan looked at their appearance, their complexion was dark, their arms wrapped in clothes were tight, their bodies should be strong, their hands were rough, their clothes were simple and easy to move, and their faces may have experienced the patience of the past ten days, and their cheeks were slightly sunken.
Because of Gu Qingyan's appearance and her silent observation, one person couldn't help but move his Adam's apple slightly, Gu Qing's cigarette butt fell slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, he didn't speak, he gestured to Dong Xuan, and walked to the next one.
After the five people were finished by her, Gu Qingyan returned to the main hall of the torture room, the main seat was high, the back of the chair was a picture of a bird flying in the sky, the handles on both sides were the heads of the divine birds, and the feathers on the top of the head were realistic, Gu Qingyan sat up, habitually half leaned on the armrest on one side, and then stepped on the other half of the seat.
No one in the stone door could care how she sits, and if she wanted to lie down, Holly wouldn't say "no" or "no".
adjusted to make himself comfortable, Dong Xuan also brought the person who had just been smoked by Gu Qing over.
only heard the sound of "pop", Dong Xuan made a hard effort to make the man kneel, Gu Qingyan heard this, raised his eyebrows and leaned back, thinking that this Dong Xuan was also strong enough, and he did not allow the other party to resist.
The man knelt at a distance where Gu Qingyan could see his expression clearly, and as long as Gu Qingyan leaned forward slightly, he could see that his lips were already chapped.
"Winter Dye, go pour him a glass of water." Gu Qingyan said leisurely.
Dong Ran nodded and went to prepare water, Gu Qingyan was not in a hurry, he served the tea prepared by Holly, and drank it much slower than usual.
Gently shake the teacup, and the fragrance of tea will diffuse in the room little by little, from shallow and faint, to gradually enter the heart. Drinking tea is silent, but at this time, silence is better than sound.
In the quiet environment, filled with the faint fragrance of tea, a kneeling person with a dry mouth, his eyes drooped, and the original disdainful eyes couldn't help but slowly raise his eyes.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to his surroundings, he inadvertently looked ahead.
I saw that although the woman sitting on the seat was not elegant, she was chic and awe-inspiring, and the cup of tea she was holding now was what he needed the most.
Tied here for a night and a day, not a drop of water has entered, if there is no temptation, you can still bear it, but who knows that first it was ignored by others, and then it was such a psychological gesture in front of you, just afraid...
As soon as he thought about it, he instantly pulled himself back to his thoughts, quickly closed his eyes, and still lowered his head.
Gu Qingyan was not concentrating on drinking tea, he kept staring at this person, and his small actions fell into Gu Qingyan's eyes.
Not long after, Dong Ran came up with another cup of hot tea, and according to Gu Qingyan's instructions, Dong Ran stopped in front of the man and stood sideways.
Gu Qingyan put down the teacup, then cleared his throat and said, "Who are you?" ”
The tone was soft, as if asking another child who was lost in the woods, "Who are you?" How did you get lost? "That's a feeling.
He didn't speak, and Dong Ran opened the lid of the hot tea and fanned it. They deliberately used fragrant tea, which tasted a little more fragrant than Gu Qingyan's tea, not to mention that it was close.
"I think you know that even if you don't say it, I can know everything I want to know, including who you are? To whom? Who do you even care about? ”
The man looked up at Gu Qingyan, even if she was sitting there, he could still feel the dangerous aura around Gu Qingyan, even if such a person didn't kill him, it could make him feel depressed in the constant inquiry.
But he is also a psychologically strong person, even if he already feels that his situation is at a disadvantage, but he also knows that most of Gu Qingyan's words now are speculation, so he will save their lives to confirm the speculation.
Therefore, he is still silent, even if the fragrance of the tea is a little tempting, he also guards his heart.
I don't want Gu Qingyan to feel inappropriate or anxious because of his silence, but I feel that the more he is like this, the more Gu Qingyan can affirm the conjecture in his heart.
He chuckled and said, "Although I am not a worm in your belly, I know your thoughts." But don't forget, in addition to knowing the rules of the rivers and lakes, I, Gu Qingyan, also know some other things. ”
Every time she inquired, Gu Qingyan was never afraid that she would talk too much, after all, if the other party really didn't answer anything, she could only take the initiative to attack if she wanted to know.
People's hearts are made of flesh, and there are always a few words that can hit the mind and then break the defense line.
"Think about it, how many days have you been in the back mountain, these days, whether it is Shimen or Taohuajian there is no news released, what do you think your master will do if he doesn't get the news?"
Gu Qingyan was helping him analyze the pros and cons like a friend, leaving a time for him to do his own ideological struggle, Dong Dye was still holding the tea motionless in front of him, compared to concentration, Dong Dye They are not bad.
Gu Qingyan's eyes were lowered, playing with the teacup in his hand, the white porcelain teacup was rare and transparent, the lotus pattern was carved out by his hand, and the tea soup was injected with light and cold.
He listened to her words, and he remembered the explanation of the people above him before leaving, telling them that no matter what they found out, whether they succeeded or not, they had to give a message within the month period, otherwise the mission would fail and they would bear the consequences.
Although this consequence is not to lose his life, the force behind that person should not be weak, otherwise he would not be able to find the five of them from all over the world, and secretly control their families, such a person, there will only be a transaction between them.
I have to say that Gu Qingyan understands their operation too well, and she was blindly charged.
The look of his secret thinking fell into Gu Qingyan's eyes, Gu Qingyan smiled secretly, stood up, and walked towards him step by step rhythmically.
"Stand up."
The words drifted into his ears, and as soon as he got up, he heard Gu Qingyan say again: "Dong Ran take people back." I put a message out for them, and I said that all five of them had missed. ”
After finishing speaking, Gu Qingyan squinted at this person and left directly. After leaving the door of the main hall, Gu Qingyan instructed Holly: "After he goes back, he will give them food and water as usual, and they will have a hearty meal every day." ”
"Yes."
"Let's go back to the torture chamber first."
"Yes."
