Chapter 253 Eyes gleamed with a wolf-like light
"Sir, haven't you thought about starting over? It's just a matter of living a different life. There are countless paths in the world, why be bound by other people's opinions?"
Gu Qingyue probed.
"A different way of life?"
It was late at night when Qian Jingxuan left the Gu residence.
No one knows what Gu Qingyue and Qian Jingxuan talked about afterwards.
When Qian Jingxuan left, his steps were light, and a relieved yet spirited expression was clearly etched on his face.
That evening, Qian Jingxuan made arrangements for the remaining boys at Zhuli Hall and handed them all over to Manager Wang.
The next morning, as soon as the city gates opened, he took Gu Qingyue's handwritten letter and traveled lightly out of the city gates, heading towards Mingyue Manor.
This was Qian Jingxuan's choice, and also Gu Qingyue's decision.
Gu Qingyue handed over the base of Moon Shadow Pavilion to Qian Jingxuan.
The original buildings of Fengyunmen have not yet been fully renovated, and they need someone they can trust to oversee the entire process. They will also need someone to take care of and maintain them in the future. Qian Jingxuan chose to be that person.
And Gu Qingyue agreed!
Her move was incredibly bold!
That will be the foundation of Moon Shadow Pavilion, and also Gu Qingyue's way out.
How important!
But years later, it turned out that Gu Qingyue's choice was right!
Qian Jingxuan is still the same genius boy who was famous throughout the village back then, although time has passed and he has long been forgotten.
But a wise person will surely shine when given the right opportunity.
Needless to say.
With this task handed over to Qian Jingxuan, Liu Feng's burden was greatly reduced, allowing him to focus more on training people for the Moon Shadow Pavilion.
Both are suitable.
The next morning, while Gu Qingyue was having breakfast, Yue Ran led the group back to the Gu residence.
Gu Yuanen looked at the group of people standing outside the flower hall and then looked at Gu Qingyue with suspicion.
"You're taking them to the capital?"
"Well, it's more convenient to have women around me. As for the others, just treat them as guards and let them get some experience too."
Gu Qingyue put down her chopsticks, wiped her hands clean, and got up to leave the flower hall.
Outside the flower hall, Yue Ran, Yu Mo, Cui Shuming, and the brother and sister she had saved during surgery, Ying Shiqi and Ying Shiba, stood ramrod straight in the corridor.
They had all heard Liu Feng say that the Pavilion Master was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo in the capital, and her personal safety was of utmost importance as she returned to her ancestral home to acknowledge her ancestors.
Everyone was stunned!
The fact that the Pavilion Master transformed from a man into a woman was already astonishing enough, but it turns out... she's actually the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!!
That's the mansion of a first-rank duke!
Everyone on the border knows the name of Duke Gu!
Therefore, everyone was incredibly excited along the way!
The way he looked at Gu Qingyue right now was practically gleaming with wolfish intent! It was practically gleaming!
The first thing Gu Qingyue saw when she stepped outside was a sea of eyes.
She paused, then looked up and sighed.
But business matters.
She pondered for a moment and made a decision.
"Shadow Seventeen and Eighteen are coming to the capital with me this time. For the sake of convenience, I will use your original names for now. If you perform well, you will stay by my side in the future."
"Jiang Luo/Jiang Wan, thank you, Master!"
The brother and sister were overjoyed and quickly bowed, speaking louder than usual.
Gu Qingyue appointed leaders for both the Moon Division and the Shadow Division of the Moon Shadow Pavilion.
The leader of the Moon Division is Yue Shen, and the Moon Division mainly focuses on intelligence and protection missions.
The leader of the Shadow Division is Shadow Wind, and the Shadow Division specializes in martial arts.
Therefore, all those below the leader, according to the order in which they entered the Moon Shadow Pavilion, used Moon and Shadow as their surnames and numbers as their code names.
The Dark Blade members are still using their original names.
"On this trip to the capital, Cui Shuming and Jiang Wan will temporarily serve as maids and bodyguards, staying by my side. Yue Ran, you and Yu Mo, and Jiang Luo will secretly act as bodyguards."
Gu Qingyue originally planned to take only Yue Ran with her.
Looking back, I realize that in the treacherous capital city, I only felt at ease when I had my own people around.
Since Yue Ran is a man, he probably can't stay close to me.
Although the plan was to secretly return to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, things are unpredictable, and plans can change. What if something goes wrong?
There are also people from the first and third wives in the mansion. Who knows which of them harbor evil intentions?
It would be better if more eyes were watching her.
She never fights a battle she's not confident of winning!
Of course, prevention is more important than war!
Moreover, what she was most worried about was Mu Yun Chu's situation.
They must be almost in the capital. I wonder what their situation is now?
So, in addition to those who openly followed her, she also arranged for Yue Ling to secretly bring people with her to the capital.
It's also her trump card to act when necessary.
After arranging for the people who would accompany her, Gu Qingyue began packing her belongings.
Steward Qiu meant that Gu Qingyue should ride in a carriage.
The weather was still quite cold, and out of pity for her being a woman, I couldn't bear to see her suffer the long journey.
Gu Qingyue politely declined.
She insisted on riding a horse, saying it would be faster that way.
In her heart, she still wanted to get to the capital as soon as possible, or at least secretly keep an eye on the political climate for Mu Yun Chu.
She didn't want to get involved, but she couldn't help worrying.
After much thought, I decided to follow my heart.
If you like someone and are worried about their safety, of course you can go if you want to.
If we calculate gains and losses in relationships, don't we lose that purity and honesty?
She believed that if she were in that situation, Mu Yun Chu would make the same choice.
Having taken care of everything, Gu Qingyue didn't know how long the trip would take, so she entrusted all the household chores to Rong Qingqing.
Since learning that she was going to the capital, Rong Qingqing had been silent for a long time, and whenever she saw Gu Qingyue, she always seemed to want to say something but held back.
Gu Qingyue, unsure of what she wanted to ask, asked her if she wanted to go to the capital together, but was immediately and firmly refused.
Gu Qingyue was confused.
She felt that Rong Qingqing's attitude towards the capital was a bit strange. Did she know someone in the capital?
But she clearly remembered Uncle Song saying that Mingjing Manor was located on Ziheng Mountain on the border between Da Chu and Nanzhao, not near the capital.
"Sister Rong, do you know people in the capital?"
Rong Qingqing paused for a moment, then said, "If you have time, could you keep an eye on the Yong'en Marquis's residence for me?"
He left with that one sentence and refused to say anything more.
Gu Qingyue was even more confused.
The Yong'en Marquis's Residence?
Who in the household has any connection with Sister Rong? A relative? An enemy?
Sigh! Once Rong Qingqing starts talking about herself, she becomes the most silent one, not at all like the free-spirited, chivalrous, kind, and somewhat feisty woman she used to be!
Gu Qingyue is having a huge headache!
Well then, she'll definitely keep an eye out when she gets to the capital.
She'll find out someday.
Gu Qingyue entrusted Liu Feng with full authority over Moon Shadow Pavilion and Dark Blade.
With Qian Jingxuan's arrival, Liu Feng finally felt alive again. With Gu Qingyue gone, he simply couldn't manage such a huge mess.
Fortunately, with Qian Jingxuan's help, things became much easier. Junior Sister is indeed very discerning.
Over the past few months, Liu Feng and his team have been training at the base in Nanchong Mountain, and they have become increasingly skilled. Gu Qingyue is reassured about their abilities in this regard.
Of course, Gu Qingyue also said goodbye to Xiaobudian Xiaonian.
She had originally planned that if the little one wanted to go to the capital with her, she would take him along.
After all, in her heart, Xiao Nian was like her own younger brother. She would never forget how they had relied on each other for survival and how Xiao Nian depended on her.
But Xiao Nian's reaction was beyond her expectations.
