Chapter 204: Northridge Gu Master
Sheng Guo'er suddenly remembered a person and said, "This person may be able to help you!" ”
"Who?"
"Nangong Yuchen!"
He ...... Can he do it? Xiao Tao said a little worriedly.
Sheng Guo'er shrugged helplessly: "How do you know if you don't try it?" ”
When He Wanrong heard this, he no longer objected, so he nodded.
The next day, Sheng Guo'er took Xiao Tao to Nangong Mansion.
The doorman of the Nangong family naturally knew Sheng Guo'er, so he didn't stop her, but Sheng Guo'er didn't dare to break into the Nangong family rashly, but sent someone to report it first.
Soon, someone came to lead her into the inner courtyard, and at this moment, in the main mansion of the Nangong family, Nangong Yueyi and Nangong Yuchen were talking about some state affairs, and at this time, the housekeeper of the outer courtyard came over.
"Second young master, there is a young lady named Sheng Guo'er outside who asks to see you."
Hearing the words 'Sheng Guo'er', Nangong Yuchen was stunned for a moment: "Why is she here?" ”
Nangong Yueyi said lightly: "Since you are a guest, then please come in!" ”
The housekeeper retreated, and after a while, he saw Sheng Guo'er walking in with Xiao Tao.
"Miss Sheng, why do you have time to come to our house today?" Nangong Yuchen frowned slightly.
"Nangong Gongzi ......" Sheng Guo'er looked at the handsome and peerless man in front of him, and called softly, with a complex emotion hidden in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Yuchen asked, "Miss Sheng, is there something wrong?" ”
"I ......" Sheng Guo'er bit her lip and plucked up the courage to say, "I...... I want to talk to you alone. ”
"Talk to me alone?"
"Yes!" Sheng Guo'er nodded resolutely, she knew that it was not appropriate for her to do this, but in order to be graceful, she had to take a risk.
"Miss Sheng......" Nangong Yueyi opened her mouth to stop: "I don't know if there is anything that can be said between my second brother and Miss Sheng." ”
"I ......" Sheng Guo'er pursed her lips, raised her eyes to look at Nangong Yueyi, and said earnestly: "I want the second young master to save and be graceful." ”
Hearing this, Nangong Yueyi pondered for a moment: "Since this is the case, then ask the second brother and Miss Sheng to move to the study." ”
Nangong Yueyi turned around and ordered his subordinates to prepare tea and pastries.
"Thank you, Nangong Gongzi." Sheng Guo'er bowed sincerely.
After waiting for a while, Nangong Yuchen followed Sheng Guo'er to the study, inside the study.
"Nangong Gongzi, do you know about the Miao Jiang Gu worm?" Xiao Tao asked.
Nangong Yuchen raised his eyebrows: "I know." ”
Sheng Guo'er continued: "He Wanrong has been poisoned, I want you to take a look at her and see if she has been hit by Gu worms." ”
When Nangong Yuchen heard this, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, and he bowed slightly: "Okay." ”
Nangong Yuchen said: "Let's go to Hefu to have a look." ”
After arriving at the He Mansion, Nangong Yuchen carefully checked He Wanrong's tongue coating and pupils, and Nangong Yuchen said: "It has been two months since He girl was poisoned. ”
"What?" Sheng Guo'er was taken aback.
"Yes." Nangong Yuchen said affirmatively: "It's been two months since I was poisoned. ”
"That'...... Is my body still saved? He Wanrong looked at him expectantly: "I have never left the capital, I don't know that I was poisoned, and I don't know what kind of poison I was in." ”
"I have already investigated for the girl just now, you should be Gu poison, this Gu poison is invisible and colorless, without a trace, and the poisoned person will gradually exhaust and die after four months."
"Huh?" Sheng Guo'er covered her mouth in shock.
"Miss Sheng, this kind of Gu worm is generally only understood by Gu masters, and it will attack every five hours, and each attack will make the poisoned person extremely painful, life is worse than death, and vomiting will not stop."
Nangong Yuchen's voice was cold and sounded emotionless.
Sheng Guo'er felt a chill down her spine when she heard this.
"In this world, apart from Gu masters, there is no other way to get rid of Gu poison?"
Nangong Yuchen glanced at her lightly, and his tone was not salty or light, but Sheng Guo'er always felt that he seemed to be mocking.
"The only Gu Master in this world is in Beiling, I think if Miss Sheng goes to Beiling, maybe she can meet him at a chance."
"Northridge!" Sheng Guo'er's eyes widened in surprise, she had secretly heard Hu Yanxin mention Beiling, it is said that Beiling is located in the deep mountains, surrounded by miasma all the year round, and all the people living there are extremely vicious Jiangyang thieves, even His Majesty the Emperor can't do anything about them.
"I can't go." Sheng Guo'er refused.
"Why can't you go?" Nangong Yuchen asked in surprise.
Sheng Guo'er smiled bitterly: "Beiling is in danger, I'm afraid that there will be no return." ”
"Oh?" Nangong Yuchen hooked the corners of her lips: "Could it be that Miss Sheng is afraid?" ”
"I'm ......," Sheng Guo'er lowered her head.
"Don't worry, our Nangong family has no shortage of guards, if you don't dislike it, I can arrange a few people to protect you." Nangong Yuchen said indifferently.
"Then I'm bothering you." Sheng Guo'er breathed a sigh of relief, she was now isolated and helpless, and could only rely on the Nangong family.
"You're welcome." He Wanrong also couldn't bear to say: "Sister Guo'er is so dangerous, why do you want to risk it for me?" ”
Sheng Guo'er gently touched He Wanrong's head and said, "Silly girl, you forgot, I said I would take care of you!" ”
Hearing this, the tip of her nose was sour, and she held Sheng Guo'er's hand: "Thank you, Sister Guo'er." ”
"Don't be so polite."
Sheng Guo'er said at this time: "Please extend it!" ”
"Yes!" After Xiao Tao agreed, she hurriedly ran out of the study.
He Wanrong took Sheng Guo'er's hand worriedly: "Sister Guo'er, what are you going to do?" You must not hurt yourself! ”
Sheng Guo'er patted He Wanrong's hand: "Don't worry, I have my own plans." ”
Xiao Tao quickly called Hu Yanxin over.
Sheng Guo'er directly explained her intentions, and after listening to Wanrong, she burst into tears and cried and said, "Sister Guo'er, you are so kind, you actually want to save me." ”
"Of course I'm going to save you, you're my closest friend."
He Wanrong gripped Sheng Guo'er's hand tightly, as if she would disappear as soon as she let go.
"Sister Guo'er, are you really willing to save me?"
"Well, we're all friends."
He Wanrong burst into tears and smiled: "Well, I will treat you as my closest friend for the rest of my life." ”
Hu Yanxin said: "Sister, what do you want me to do?" Sheng Guo'er told Hu Yanxin the meaning and task, Nangong Yuchen didn't expect Hu Yanxin to agree so quickly.
"And girl, I hope you can cooperate." Hu Yanxin stared at He Wanrong seriously.
He Wanrong nodded and said, "I understand, as long as I can save my sister, I will definitely cooperate." ”
Hu Yanxin said: "I can save you, but you must help us rescue Meng Xingzhou together." ”
Who is Meng Xingzhou? And Wanrong asked him curiously.
"The eldest grandson of the Meng family."
"It turned out to be him." He Wanrong suddenly realized: "Is he in prison?" ”
"Yes, he was taken away, and now he has been imprisoned for three days, and if you can help us, I will definitely be able to rescue him." Hu Yanxin said seriously.
"Okay, I'll help you." He Wanrong nodded.
Hu Yanxin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this: "Then you go back and rest first, remember, you must not tell anyone about this matter." ”
He Wanrong nodded solemnly: "I understand, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut." ”
The North Ridge, towering and towering, stretches over the mountains, looks murderous.
Hu Yanxin and the guards of Nangong's family looked at these scenes in front of them, and said in their hearts that Beiling was murderous, and it was true.
"Young Master Huyan, this is the road map to enter the North Ridge, please find the Gu Master according to the location marked on the drawing."
"I see."
Hu Yanxin led the guards of the Nangong family towards the instruction map.
"Son Huyan." A masked man dressed in black suddenly jumped out from behind the bushes.
"Who?" Hu Yanxin looked at him vigilantly.
The man in black snorted coldly, "I'm the one who came to send you to the western sky. ”
"Daring fanatic!"
As the words fell, an arrow shot at the man in black.
The man in black quickly avoided the arrows, then pulled out the sword at his waist and rushed up to fight with the guards of the Nangong family.
"Be careful!" Nangong Yuchen suddenly shouted.
The man in black took advantage of the chaos to hide in the grass, and then he slashed at Hu Yanxin, the cold light swept through the darkness, Hu Yanxin was agile, easily avoided the attack of the man in black, and stabbed him in the chest with a backhand.
The man in black was forced to take a few steps back, his face was covered by a black cloth, his exposed eyes flashed with fierceness, he swung his sword and attacked again, and Hu Yanxin dodged his moves with ease.
Suddenly, the man in black threw out the sword in his hand vigorously, and when Hu Yanxin was caught off guard, he was pierced in the shoulder, and the blood instantly stained his clothes.
"The master is injured!"
"Come on!"
The people of the Nangong family immediately surrounded Hu Yanxin and fought with the man in black.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black turned around and was about to flee.
"Where to run!" Hu Yanxin shouted angrily.
However, the man in black strangely burrowed into the ground.
"Damn, chase!" Hu Yanxin said through gritted teeth.
……
Deep in the North Ridge, on the edge of a cliff several meters high, four people stood. An old man in white looked at the misty and choppy abyss under his feet, and said to a young man in Tsing Yi wearing a mask: "Young master, these people have good martial arts!" ”
The young man was the Gu master that Hu Yanxin and the others were looking for, and he raised his eyes to look at the other end of the cliff, and the distance was about five hundred meters.
"Young master, are you sure they'll come from here?"
"Definitely coming." The boy said firmly, "This is the only way to the outside world. ”
The old man in white frowned: "Since they know about this secret passage, they still dare to come from here to find the Gu Master, aren't they afraid of death?" ”
The young man in Tsing Yi pondered for a moment and said, "In this world, there are always people who are not afraid of life and death. ”
The old man in white sighed, he had followed the young master for two years, and knew that although the young master was young, he was extremely smart. It's just that this personality is a little uncertain.
"Young master, my subordinates feel that this matter is not so simple." The old man in white said: "They broke into the depths of the North Ridge without danger along the way, and even arrived here smoothly, which is obviously not easy. ”
The young man was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "They come to Beiling, no matter what plans they have, this young master only needs to sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”
The old man in white nodded: "The young master is wise." ”
The boy narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
