Chapter 556 Incorporating the Ink Pavilion and Returning to the Capital
Gu Qingyue rubbed her fingers, lost in thought.
For a moment, the two fell silent.
The next morning, everyone began packing their belongings. The situation in the capital was unstable, and it was time to get back as soon as possible.
At the dinner table, Gu Qingyue finally revealed the identity of the person behind the scenes to everyone.
After a moment of surprise, everyone calmed down.
It seems that Prince An has long harbored rebellious intentions. He has been strategizing for many years and his influence in the southwest is not shallow.
However, the matter concerning the Ink Pavilion is not a major issue at the moment.
According to Gu Qingyue, she and Mu Yunchu suspected that the young men who went missing near Lizhou were also kidnapped by Prince An. Considering that he had trained a private army near the capital, it would be no small matter if he had a sizable private army!
His ambition is evident.
Clearly, he was determined to fight the Great Chu Dynasty to the bitter end.
After discussion, everyone believed that Mu Yun Chu would report this matter to the Emperor upon returning to the capital. At that time, they might not need to take action on Prince An's side; they would only need to identify the pests within the Ink Pavilion.
Therefore, this matter was entrusted to Liu Feng and the young men of Moon Shadow Pavilion.
And Elder Lu officially bestowed the position of Pavilion Master upon Gu Qingyue, in a way that left no room for argument.
The reason was that he was old and wouldn't live much longer. He planned to secretly work with Old Feng and Doctor Chai to help Liu Feng eradicate the pests of Wanmo Pavilion, and then live in seclusion.
Gu Qingyue couldn't refuse the old man, so she could only smile and acquiesce.
But three old men want to live in seclusion and ignore worldly affairs? Dream on!
She had already decided where to send the three old men.
Hehe, I can't say that, but I'll still shine and contribute even when I'm old!
After all, Master Lu is highly skilled in martial arts; it's not unreasonable for him to teach the young people a lesson!
Old Feng is very shrewd in business; she still needs him to supply her brine wells!
As for Dr. Chai—wouldn't Dr. Zhang and Chaihu together be enough for her future clinic? Then let's add Dr. Chai as well.
If we're talking about who's the best at using an abacus, it has to be Gu Qingyue, hehe!
It took a whole day to arrange the carriage and luggage for the departure.
As for the matters concerning Moon Shadow Pavilion and Ink Pavilion after her temporary departure, Gu Qingyue entrusted them all to Liu Feng.
First, we should recruit the hundreds of guards from the Ink Pavilion.
Liu Feng decided to send Wen Qinghong to train them and see how they were aptitude. Those who were useful would definitely be given body tempering first, as improving their combat strength was the top priority.
With the addition of such a team, Moonshadow Pavilion's strength will undoubtedly increase significantly, and some petty scoundrels on Ink Pavilion's side will no longer have a chance to cause trouble.
All packed up at once.
The next morning, a large convoy of cars left Lizhou City.
This time when she returned to the capital, she was accompanied by Gu Changling and his wife, the three Gu brothers, Gu Qingyue, Zhang Qingxuan and the unexpected Mo Xiaoliu, as well as Xiao Nian and Nian Yuwei, and Feng Shuyan, who was packed up and sent to her by Old Feng.
Old Master Feng's original words were that she should train this boy well so that he could be qualified to be Gu Qingyue's groom in the future.
Gu Qingyue was both amused and exasperated, and had no choice but to formally include Feng Shuyan in her ranks of secret guards, giving her the name Yueyan.
Rong Qingqing had to stay in Lizhou to take care of the young men of Yueying Pavilion, so Zhang Xubai naturally stayed behind.
Although it was a pity that she couldn't attend Gu Qingyue's wedding, Rong Qingqing had prepared a wedding gift for her in advance, saying that she should open it after the wedding, which Gu Qingyue naturally accepted with a smile.
As for Zhang Xubai staying, that's for sure.
According to Zhang Qingxuan, he has already written to the old Marquis and the others, but his uncle has also said that he will be wherever Rong Qingqing is from now on, and may never return to the capital.
Gu Qingyue wholeheartedly agreed with Zhang Xubai's decision. Rong Qingqing had waited for so many years and suffered so much; she deserved some compensation.
As for Mo Xiaoliu, he came to the Gu residence to visit Gu Qingyue around dinner time yesterday. But when he heard that she was going back to the capital, Mo Xiaoliu immediately decided to go to the capital with Gu Qingyue.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have anyone to play with in Lizhou.
So, early this morning, as soon as the gate of the Gu residence opened, the little girl was seen waiting at the gate alone on her horse, carrying a small bundle.
Gu Qingyue tried to persuade her for a long time, but to no avail, so she had no choice but to wear it.
The reason for bringing Xiao Nian along is that Gu Qingyue is very likely to get married during this trip back to Beijing, and Xiao Nian is determined to attend her sister's wedding.
Without saying a word, Gu Qingyue took Xiao Nian and Nian Yuwei with her.
So, what was originally thought to be a family returning to Beijing turned into a much larger group.
However, Gu Qingyue felt very warm inside. With so many relatives and friends, what was there to be afraid of?
This was the second time Gu Qingyue had traveled the road from Lizhou City to the capital.
Unlike the first time, this time she brought her parents and family, but the journey was far from peaceful.
If Gu Qingyue hadn't brought Yue Ling, Yue Ran, Jiang Luo, Jiang Wan, and the Yueying Pavilion youths who were secretly protecting her, things would probably have been even more difficult.
Gu Qingyue clearly sensed that many villages nestled against the mountains were empty, and there were even more bandit strongholds of all sizes. She had only traveled halfway when she encountered three or four groups of people robbing her along the way.
"Little sister, to the left ahead lies the northwest gateway that our Gu family army once defended. A thousand miles beyond that is the Western Jin Dynasty. To the right are the prosperous and thriving states of Jiangnan. It's just a pity..."
On the way, Gu Yuanen and Gu Qingyue rode side by side, with Gu Yuanen telling Gu Qingyue about his experiences and observations from his many years of travel.
Gu Qingyue was dressed as a man at this moment, dashing and unrestrained, riding a horse and fanning himself with a fan, looking elegant and handsome.
On Gu Qingyue's other side was Mo Xiaoliu, dressed in men's clothing.
The little girl looked on with curiosity as she listened intently to Gu Yuanen's introduction of local customs and traditions. Her almond-shaped eyes widened with interest.
"Fourth Brother Gu, how do you know so much?"
The little girl asked another question.
"Naturally, it's because I've traveled to many places with my teacher since I was a child. So, traveling ten thousand miles is like reading ten thousand books. Ah, it's only natural that I'm so knowledgeable."
Gu Qingyue wanted to facepalm. When did her fourth brother learn to show off in front of the little girl?
She doesn't even know how to be humble. In her previous life, she graduated with a master's degree and was awarded the title of top agent, but she didn't show off!
bother!
She rode her horse forward, clattering along, because she saw a large lake in the distance.
Blue sky, green trees, and drifting white clouds; the lake is like a crystal-clear blue gem, a beauty that seems like a fairyland.
It must be a perfect place to rest, she thought.
Seeing that Gu Qingyue had run far away, the two did not chase after her.
Instead, they continued with one question and the other showing off.
Also no one.
"Yue'er!"
However, Gu Yuanjin and Gu Yuanchen, who were not far away, saw Gu Qingyue run far away and spurred their horses to chase after her.
The sight of the three siblings riding horses together sparked Gu Qingyue's competitive spirit.
So, in the distance, three figures sped by like lightning, chasing each other, their free and unrestrained manner making the audience's blood boil.
"Yue'er has grown up and will soon be getting married." Inside the carriage, Madam Qin lifted the curtain and watched the three siblings' departing figures, overwhelmed with emotion.
