Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining just smiled slightly when he heard this and sighed: "I think the Holy One thinks highly of the prince. After all, the prince is a hero in the founding of the country and also has prestige in the army. Even for the sake of his own reputation, the Holy One will not do anything to the prince. Mr. Gu is completely over-worried."

When Gu Shixiong heard this, he felt angry in his chest, feeling like a scholar meeting a soldier.

People say that Qin Huaiyuan's daughter is smart and courageous, and has a unique vision in court affairs.

Now it seems that the rumors outside are untrue. They are just saying that to flatter Qin Huaiyuan. This Qin Yining is just an ordinary ignorant woman, and she can't even see such a dangerous situation clearly.

Gu Shixiong analyzed Qin Yining with a solemn expression: "Miss Qin, don't be too simple and naive in your thoughts. The Holy Emperor's fear of Prince Zhongshun has been very obvious. It's just that you don't pay much attention to the affairs of the court, so you can't understand it.

"If this huge sum of money is placed in the hands of others, I feel it is a waste. But if it is placed in your hands, it will help Prince Zhongshun in the future. This can be regarded as a sword given to a hero.

"Besides, don't forget, even if the Holy One grants marriage, the fact that Qin Shangshu killed Prince Zhongshun and his father will still exist. With this treasure, won't you be able to be tougher when you marry into the Pang family?"

Gu Shixiong's analysis was clear and logical, and he was considering Qin Yining's future in every sentence.

Qin Yining felt that Gu Shixiong was really a master at grasping people's hearts. If she were an ordinary girl, she would have believed her.

She has always believed that surviving in the court depends on one's own abilities. There are conspiracies, these are normal phenomena.

But in order to achieve his own goals, Gu Shixiong would rather drag the innocent Qin family into it and let a boudoir woman be dragged into the water.

This kind of behavior, even if it comes from loyalty to the old country, is shameful for Qin Yining.

"What you said makes sense. I just let Mr. Gu down. The little girl is really helpless." Qin Yining bowed and apologized.

Gu Shixiong's old eyes suddenly dimmed after meeting Qin Yining's determined look.

At this time, Gu Shixiong really felt desperate.

Everyone was only interested in profit, only caring about their own safety, and did not consider whether the Yan Dynasty could be restored.

Did he want to watch Yu Chiyan, the only orthodox bloodline, be killed by Li Qitian?

Gu Shixiong leaned on the armchair,

He shook his head helplessly and murmured: "If you don't help me, no one will really be able to help me rescue Prince Yan."

Qin Yining seemed to be disdainful of how helpless an old man Gu Shixiong was. He pursed his lips in embarrassment and thought for a moment before saying, "Mr. Gu, please don't be anxious. Just listen to me."

Gu Shixiong raised his eyes and looked at Qin Yining.

Qin Yining said: "You don't have to come to me. The only person who can protect me as a boudoir woman is my father. My father is not at home, and my future husband's family has an ambiguous attitude towards me. Who can I ask for help?" Where is love?

"I think you might as well seek help from those who are capable at this moment. Think about it, who else in Kyoto City has the ability to compete with His Majesty?"

Gu Shixiong sat up straight, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "You mean the Lu family?"

Qin Yining smiled and did not speak.

Gu Shixiong felt as if the wall of the dead end in front of him had been pushed away, revealing a bright road leading into the distance.

"The Lu family is indeed good."

There is no one in Kyoto who can challenge Li Qitian forcefully. The energy of the Lu family cannot be underestimated.

--\u003e\u003e

; Gu Shixiong's heart became enlightened, but after a while, he shook his head helplessly: "But, what if the Lu family's character is not up to standard and they swallow the treasure without helping me save Prince Yan?"

Qin Yining laughed when he heard this and said: "Mr. Gu, you are a fan of the authorities. When you came to me, weren't you afraid that I would take the treasure and not do anything practical?"

One sentence made Gu Shixiong suddenly understand.

Yes, whether it is the Lu family or Qin Yining, there is a half chance that they will take the treasure and not help save others.

From this point of view, what is the difference between begging for the Lu family and begging for Qin Yining?

No matter how bad the Lu family is, they can still make their own decisions.

And Qin Yining, a prostitute, wanted to find Pang Xiao for help after taking the treasure.

Comparing this, of course, it is most appropriate to deal with people from the Lu family directly.

"What you said makes sense, but I have no contact with the Lu family. I really have no way to ask for help. How can someone from the Lu family see me and believe me so easily?"

Qin Yining looked at Gu Shixiong, and after a while he seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "We are both from Dayan. At this time, I have to take action. Okay. Jiyun."

Qin Yining turned around and told Ji Yun: "Go and get the box I put at the bottom of the cabinet."

Ji Yun bowed and retreated. Not long after, he brought the box that Qin Yining had prepared just now.

Qin Yining placed the box on the table and pushed it to Gu Shixiong's hand.

"Mr. Gu, to be honest, I have some connections with the second master of the Lu family, Lu Heng. If you take this token to find the second master, he will definitely be willing to help you when he sees this token."

Gu Shixiong brought the box and found that the wooden box was fixed with nails and could not be opened.

Gu Shixiong asked: "What's in this box?"

"Mr. Gu, don't open it yourself. Give this box to Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu can open it naturally. When he sees the token, he will help you. I am a weak woman, and I can only help you so far."

Hearing this, Gu Shixiong had no other choice but to put away the box and thank Qin Yining, and then hurriedly left back to Gu's house.

The Gu family is far away from Prince Yan's palace, and it's just a small courtyard with a second entrance. This was specially given by Li Qitian to show his kindness because Gu Shixiong was a veteran of three dynasties in Dayan.

As soon as he entered the house, Gu Shixiong hurriedly called for someone: "Go and ask, where is Mr. Lu Heng and Mr. Lu now?"

The personal attendant immediately took the order and left.

Not long after, he came back and reported: "My lord, today the Minister of the Ministry of War went to inspect the Three Thousand Battalion, and Mr. Lu followed Cheng Shangshu to the Three Thousand Battalion's garrison outside the city."

Gu Shixiong thought for a moment, then handed the box to his personal attendant and said, "Take this token and immediately go to the Three Thousand Camp to ask to see Lu Heng and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him."

"Yes!" The attendant solemnly saluted and immediately withdrew.

But who would have thought that as soon as he took a few steps, he was stopped by Gu Shixiong again.

"No, it's better if I go in person to show my sincerity. If you go, it won't be enough. Prepare a car for me."

Seeing how solemn Gu Shixiong was, the attendant immediately went to prepare quickly.

In just a few minutes of tea, Gu Shixiong was already sitting on the speeding carriage with the token in his arms.

He was worried about Prince Yan and was very anxious.

But after the carriage had traveled more than half the distance, he gradually calmed down again. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was not quite right.
