Chapter 261: Punishment

"Your Majesty, the top priority now is to find out that Gu Master as soon as possible, as long as you kill him, everything will be solved."

Hearing this, Qin Lingjue nodded and said, "You're right, so are you willing to take over from Rong Xiao and take over the task of finding that Gu Master's traces?" ”

Hearing this, Ji Han was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has a task on him, if he adds this, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"It's okay, you put aside the traitor first, this matter is more important, you find out that Gu Master first, and then do something else after solving this matter."

Since Qin Ling said so, Ji Han had no choice but to agree: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"Alright, you go get busy first."

"Yes, Weichen retired."

With that, Ji Han left the palace, and then returned to the mansion and immediately dispatched people to search for the Gu master.

Of course, he knew very well that he couldn't find the whereabouts of that Gu Master by himself, so he planned to go to Zheng Xiu and ask him for help, after all, he was also a Gu Master, and he should know something about it.

However, after going to the farm, Ji Han learned from Shen Ruogu that Zheng Xiu and Gu Nanyi were both missing.

When he first learned the news, Ji Han was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Shen, how did they disappear from the head of Zheng Yuan?" ”

In the face of his inquiry, Shen Ruogu did not hide it, and immediately told everything he had learned.

"Moving woods?"

Hearing this, a sense of absurdity suddenly rose in Ji Han's heart, if it was not Shen Ruogu who said this, but someone else, he would think that the other party was deliberately teasing him.

"Miss Shen, it's not that I don't want to believe you, it's that this matter is so unbelievable, I really can't believe it."

Ji Han is a scholar who has never believed in materialism, but he is not an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything and will believe in the theory of gods and ghosts.

Shen Ruogu naturally knew his character, and knew that he couldn't convince him with words alone, unless he let him see it with his own eyes.

It's just that he can't figure out the secret of the woods himself, so how can he let him see it with his own eyes?

"I know you don't believe me, so we're not going to continue the conversation." Shen Ruogu directly changed the topic, he remembered that Rong Xiao had entered the palace to meet Qin Lingjue before, and he didn't know how he was doing now, whether Qin Lingjue had embarrassed him.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruogu immediately asked, "Ji Han, how is Rong Xiao now?" ”

Hearing this, Ji Han frowned slightly, sighed and said, "Lord Rong was punished by the emperor because of his dereliction of duty this time. ”

Hearing this, Shen Ruogu's face changed slightly, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, he felt that it was because of his Rong Xiao that he would be punished by Qin Lingjue, if it wasn't for helping him find Zheng Xiu and Gu Nanyi as soon as possible, he wouldn't have been caught by that Gu master for a while.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruogu couldn't help but ask worriedly, "How is he now?" ”

"Don't worry, I've already ordered the imperial doctor to show him, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, and it will be fine for about three or four days of cultivation at home."

Hearing this, Shen Ruogu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing happened to Rong Xiao, otherwise he would not have died of guilt.

"It's okay, but Rong Xiao is injured now, and he can't continue to search for that Gu Master, so ......"

Shen Ruogu was a little worried, most of the officials in the court and the central government were controlled by Gu worms, it can be said that life and death are tied to the body of that Gu master, and one carelessness will cause turmoil in the government and the opposition.

Although Shen Ruogu didn't finish his words, Ji Han still understood what he meant, and immediately explained: "The emperor handed over that task to me. ”

Hearing this, Shen Ruogu suddenly realized, no wonder Ji Han wanted to find Zheng Xiu, it turned out that it was also for the Gu Master's business.

Thinking of this, he immediately told Ji Han the method that Zheng Xiu had instructed Rong Xiao before.

Although the method that Shen Ruogu gave him was not of much use, Ji Han still thanked him, after all, it was still a little helpful.

As long as that Gu Master appeared around him, he would be able to identify him, but this possibility was very small, and if the other party really appeared in front of him, he was sure that he would be able to deal with him.

So instead of expecting these unrealistic things, you should do things more down-to-earth.

"Miss Shen, since the head of the Zheng courtyard is not here, then I will leave first."

With that, Ji Han got up and left the farm.

And after he left, Shen Ruogu thought about it and decided to go to the Rong Mansion to visit Rong Xiao, after all, the other party was punished by Qin Lingjue because of him.

Because the guards of the Rong Mansion all knew Shen Ruogu, they let him go directly when they saw him, so Shen Ruogu easily entered the Rong Mansion.

After entering, Shen Ruogu went straight to Rong Xiao's bedroom, of course, he didn't push the door directly, but knocked on the door very politely.

"Come in."

Rong Xiao didn't know that the person who came was Shen Ruogu, he only thought it was a subordinate in the mansion, and it wasn't until Shen Ruogu came in that he realized that something was wrong.

"Miss Shen, why are you?" Rong Xiao looked surprised and said a little stunned.

Hearing this, Shen Ruogu smiled slightly: "I came to see you, I heard that you were punished by Ling Jue, how about it?" Is it better now? ”

"Thank you Miss Shen for your concern, I'm getting a lot better."

Hearing this, Shen Ruogu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this is good, so that he can rest assured.

"It's fine if you're okay."

Rong Xiao suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked, "By the way, have you sent someone to Beiqiang and Wulan to inquire?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Ruogu shook his head and said, "Not yet, I'll do it immediately later." ”

Hearing this, Rong Xiao was immediately relieved, not only because of Zheng Xiu's worries, but more importantly, if they didn't find him, it would probably be extremely difficult for them to find out that Gu Master by themselves.

After chatting with Rong Xiao for a few words, Shen Ruogu didn't stay any longer, after all, Rong Xiao still needed to recuperate, and staying here would only disturb him.

Shen Ruogu quickly left the Rong Mansion, and after leaving the Rong Mansion, he returned to the farm and summoned his subordinates in the capital.

Then two of the more clever ones were selected, and they planned to send the two of them to Beiqiang and Ulan respectively.

Shen Ruogu picked out two girls, who were suitable for going undercover in other countries.

"Okay, just the two of you, this trip is very dangerous, I'll ask one last time, are you sure you want to go?"

Hearing this, the two little girls who were selected by Shen Ruogu responded in unison: "We are willing to smear the liver and brain of the young lady and break our bones!" ”

Hearing this, Shen Ruogu was very satisfied, they were so loyal, they couldn't say nothing.
