Chapter 237 Is the 'Mummy' his maternal uncle?
Gu Qingyue hoped that this time she could succeed and that she would not encounter someone as 'strong' as Mr. Hui's bodyguard.
She decided to go back and further improve the pill, specifically targeting those who are 'too strong'.
After a while, the noise downstairs grew even louder.
Gu Qingyue released her mental energy; very good, the two people in the room were asleep, slumped over the table.
Gu Qingyue pushed open the window and silently entered the room.
She did not immediately lift the iron cage in the corner that held the iron-eating beast.
Instead, he took out a powerful sedative and waved it in front of the brother and sister's noses before he felt at ease.
Gu Qingyue lifted the felt cloth covering her and saw the small, sleeping Iron-Eating Beast.
They probably drugged him; thankfully, he's still alive.
Gu Qingyue immediately put it into her spatial storage, and also took the brother and sister into her space.
While the people downstairs were still making noise, she slipped out of the room and ran towards the side door.
She kicked the guard who had been drugged by her, then jumped over the wall and left the inn.
The moment they left the inn, he grabbed the brother and sister and ran far away.
When the other teenagers who were waiting in various positions saw that their leader had successfully come out and tied up two people, they immediately withdrew and gathered nearby.
Inside the main hall, Gu Yuanen was surrounded by several people, arguing and trying to reason with the shopkeeper. None of them resorted to violence.
At that moment, a boy dressed exactly like Gu Yuanen ran into the inn.
"Chen Er, what are you still dawdling about here? Have you booked a superior room yet?"
"Not yet! This old man is so ungrateful, daring to say there are no superior rooms for our master. He's got some nerve!"
The young man paused for a moment, then glared at the innkeeper with annoyance. "Damn it! This lousy place! Let's go find another place. Don't waste any more time here. Our master's carriage is almost here."
"Hmph, for the sake of our master, we won't bother with you unruly commoners. Chen Liu, let's go!" After saying that, he glared fiercely at the shopkeeper and the waiter.
The two swaggered out the door, their voices echoing in the distance: "This lousy place, I don't know why our master had to pass through here."
"Let's rent a separate courtyard; this inn is too run-down."
The shopkeeper was so angry he almost fell over backwards!
He glanced at the two men, then at the two guards standing not far away, and breathed a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for the young master's instructions to keep a low profile and not attract attention, he would have already kicked this arrogant brat out!
And he even gets to ride on his neck and swagger around!
snort!
Fifteen minutes later, Gu Qingyue and Gu Yuanen walked out hand in hand from a small alley.
The two had returned to their original appearances and changed their clothes. From a distance, it was clear that they were a young master and young lady from a wealthy family.
Amidst laughter and conversation, they turned into a nearby night market street.
While Gu Yuanen was still entangled at the inn, Gu Qingyue had already handed the brother and sister over to the people of Yueying Pavilion to be sent to Mu Yun Chu outside Nanchong Pass.
The guards from the Thunderbolt Hall in the province reacted quickly, blocking the roads and searching the entire town for the person.
There are quite a few of them, this will cause trouble!
It's fair to say that Gu Qingyue's move was incredibly shrewd, giving them absolutely no time to react.
Of course, there's no need to tell Fourth Brother about the fact that the Iron-Eating Beast is sleeping in Gu Qingyue's space; it's best to let him think that she had someone send it away.
As for the people from Moonshadow Pavilion who saw her come out without the Iron-Eating Beast, she didn't need to explain, and they wouldn't investigate.
The brother and sister chatted and laughed all the way, eating their way back to the meeting point in the east of the city.
"Master, those two people have just woken up."
As soon as they returned to the courtyard, Yue Ling came over, completely unaware that the Pavilion Master had changed his appearance again.
"Who?" Gu Yuanen asked with his eyes.
"Let's go take a look," Gu Qingyue said, leading Gu Yuanen into the guest room in the backyard.
The two boys guarding the door bowed to Gu Qingyue from afar, their eyes filled with admiration.
Seeing this, a hint of relief flashed in Gu Yuanen's eyes.
My sister is kind-hearted. She saved them in the chaos of war, provided them with food and clothing, and taught them how to make a living. She truly deserves their respect, gratitude, and emulation!
The thought that this girl was his own sister filled him with a sense of pride.
Seeing this, Gu Qingyue waved her hand, indicating that they did not need to bow, and pushed open the door to enter the room.
The two walked to the bedside and saw the man wrapped up like a rice dumpling. Gu Qingyue said, "Tell me, who are you?"
Gu Yuanen looked at the man's bundled-up appearance with interest, and was about to ask what was going on when he looked up and saw the man's face.
He paused, a little bewildered, then instantly rushed to the bedside, crying, "Uncle!"
Gu Qingyue: Who?
"Uncle! How did you get such a serious injury?" Gu Yuanen couldn't help but raise his voice by more than an octave.
He couldn't imagine that his thirteenth uncle, who always loved beauty, would become like this.
"Whose...uncle is he?" Gu Qingyue tugged at Gu Yuanen's clothes and asked curiously.
Gu Yuanen snapped out of his daze, stood up, and introduced the woman on the bed to the man, "Uncle, this is my sister."
Qin Muning on the bed: ...Who? Whose sister?
Fifteen minutes later, Gu Qingyue was a little bewildered.
The Qin Mu Ning standing before me, striking a pose like a mummy at a 90-degree angle, is actually my own uncle!!
The owner of Liufang Pavilion!!
That's the owner of Liufangge, the place with its ostentatious gold-decorated storefront!
What if she doesn't really want to acknowledge it?
Meanwhile, the 'mummy' uncle was intently sizing up the stunningly beautiful woman before him.
Is this his niece who has been missing for over ten years?
How come someone with such striking looks wasn't found?
He began to doubt whether the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and the people he had sent out to search had done their best.
How come no one can connect someone with such an obvious resemblance to his missing niece?
The uncle and nephew looked at each other, their expressions revealing a complex mix of emotions.
Gu Yuanen was stunned.
Gu Yuanen: Have they met? Did something unpleasant happen?
"Master," Yue Ling's voice came from outside the door.
Gu Qingyue snapped out of her daze, gave Qin Muning an extremely polite smile, and left the room.
"explain".
"The news has come back; our people have successfully handed over the Thunderbolt Hall members to General Mu's men," Yue Ling said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue nodded, "Very good. Leave a few people to take care of the wounded, the rest of you can leave."
"Also, regarding Mr. Hui, Doctor Bai has given him another dose of medicine. I estimate he'll be ill for a while and won't be able to get out of bed," Yue Ling said softly.
"And I heard that Mr. Hui's men arrested Wang Tianjun, while Wang Dafu is causing trouble over there, and there are casualties on both sides."
"Huh?? Interesting. They're fighting amongst themselves. No need to worry about it." Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow. Forming an alliance isn't that easy, is it?
How easy would it be for the Third Prince to form an alliance with the Nanzhao people? How could we not sabotage this effort of the past two days?!
Gu Qingyue gave a mischievous smile. "No wonder Doctor Bai didn't show up this afternoon. He went to 'take care' of the patient. Let's withdraw our people. We don't need to worry about Mr. Hui anymore."
Worried about any changes on Mr. Hui's side, she sent a message to the people at Moon Shadow Pavilion to have Mr. Hui under surveillance. Since Mu Yun Chu had made arrangements, she would not participate.
"Yes!" Yue Ling cupped her hands and went out to make the arrangements. Gu Qingyue didn't worry about the rest; she always trusted her people.
