Yue Rong exclaimed, Xie Yan strode out from the imperial army immediately.

He quickly walked to Gu Ning's side: "See the county lord."

The guards behind him hadn't figured out why Xie Yan was so courteous, but when they saw that bright face, they all knelt down to salute.

Even they knew how savage Changning county magistrate was.

Gu Ning looked at the tiger corpse on the ground, but couldn't recover for a while.

"Why are you here?"

She had rushed over with Chunyu after hearing the roar of the tiger, thinking that she could lead people to rescue Yan Yu and Gu Qingqiu when they both fell off the cliff, and then get the map from the cliff.

But unexpectedly, Xie Yan appeared here one step ahead of her.

Oops!Could it be that she found the wrong place?But she followed the tiger all the way to track Gu Qingqiu's trail!

Under the delicate makeup, Gu Ning's face turned pale.

"The subordinate led the troops to patrol around. When they saw the tiger hurting people, they shot it to death." Xie Yan said indifferently, "This place is dangerous. The subordinate escorted the county master back to the camp."

Seeing Xie Yan's attitude towards Gu Ning, others secretly worried for him.

Talking to Changning County Lord like this, I'm afraid he will be hated by Changning County Lord.

As soon as this thought crossed their minds, Gu Ning's face turned cold, pointing at Xie Yan, and said in an unhappy tone: "Come with me!"

Oops...

Under the eyes of everyone, I saw Gu Ning talking to Xie Yan with a ruthless face.

Xie Yan's back was facing them, they couldn't see Xie Yan's face, but from Gu Ning's expression, they knew that Xie Yan's situation was worrisome.

Gu Ning only spoke after making sure that they couldn't hear him talking to Xie Yan.

"Where's Gu Qingqiu?"

"It fell."

Xie Yan's answer was very concise, originally he had a chance to save Gu Qingqiu, but since Gu Ning didn't like Gu Qingqiu, he didn't make a move.

However, after Gu Ning heard the news, he blurted out a sentence: "Quick! Follow me to the cliff to save her!"

A hint of doubt appeared in Xie Yan's indifferent eyes: "Save Gu Qingqiu?"

Gu Ning said angrily: "Yes! I want to save her!"

But just as she was about to walk down the cliff, Xie Yan grabbed her hand: "Why did you save her? You and her..."

"You don't understand." Gu Ning said earnestly, "I must save her."

Seeing that Xie Yan still wanted to dissuade him, Gu Ning's beautiful eyes widened, and he glared fiercely at Xie Yan: "Are you going to help me or not?"

"Help." Xie Yan was helpless, her phoenix eyes fixed on Gu Ning, "I will do whatever the county lord asks me to do."

He was clearly talking about business, but Gu Ning blushed.

She coughed, and arrogantly picked her chin at Xie Yan: "I want to go down too."

Before Xie Yan could speak, she added another sentence: "If you don't let me go down, I will ignore you."

When she said this, Xie Yan would naturally not refuse.

However, Xie Yan still personally tried the way down the mountain before letting Gu Ning go down with him.

Under the cliff is a mess of rocks, and people who fall from such a high place are basically certain to die.

When Chunyu saw the chaotic rocks, her heartbeat slowed down a beat: "Maybe Miss..."

"No." Gu Ning snorted softly, "Her luck has always been good."

When everyone found Gu Qingqiu, she was lying unconscious on the only piece of grass among the rocks, with only scratches on her body.

Gu Qingqiu was lucky, there were several trees where she fell, which relieved her downward force,

Seeing this, Chunyu understood what Gu Ning meant by good luck.

When Gu Ning saw Gu Qingqiu, he just gave her a look, and then looked at other places on this cliff.

"County Master, what are you looking for?" Chunyu saw her eyes rolling wildly, and immediately sensed her intentions.

Gu Ning coughed lightly, and whispered in her ear: "I read a script before, saying that there are secret exercises under this kind of cliff."

Hearing this, Chunyu hesitated for a moment: "What did you say?"

"I said, I want to wander around!" Gu Ning glanced at her angrily, and wandered around on his own.

Chunyu's mind was still ringing with Gu Ning's words just now. She saw Gu Ning carefully inspecting the surroundings, and she had to believe that Gu Ning was really looking for secret exercises.

After a while of silence, she followed Gu Ning.

"Miss, since it is a secret exercise, it will definitely not be placed in these places. Maybe it is in a certain cave." Chunyu persuaded solemnly, "But the servant took a look, and there are no caves around here."

But the next moment, Gu Ning pointed to the mountain wall in front of him and said excitedly: "Chunyu, you are so smart! There is a hole here!"

The corner of Chunyu's mouth twitched, she never expected that beside the trees that stopped Gu Qingqiu, there was a cave covered by weeds.

"This……"

"Let's go in and have a look!" Gu Ning excitedly said, "Maybe there are really secret exercises in it!"

The anticipation and excitement in Gu Ning's eyes made Chunyu unable to say no.

"Miss, there may not be something inside here." Chunyu wondered, "Maybe it's some kind of beast's lair, you'd better wait outside, and this servant will take someone to find it for you."

"Wait." Gu Ning stopped her, "I want to go in too."

But Chunyu stood at the door, even if Gu Ning spoke, she didn't take a step outside.

Seeing this, Gu Ning secretly rolled his eyes.

Just now, she searched all the places nearby where there might be hidden things, but she couldn't find that box. The cave in front of her most likely has that box.

It would be fine if it was just a map, but the book said that Gu Qingqiu also got a lot of jewelry from it, all of which were of great value. Xie Yan brought so many forbidden troops here, and they must not let them see.

Gu Ning and Chunyu were confronting each other here, and Xie Yan, who followed her figure all the time, soon came to the two of them.

Seeing Xie Yan, Gu Ning rolled his eyes and thought of a wonderful plan.

"Thank you, I'm going to visit this cave."

Gu Ning pointed at the cave, and directed Xie Yan as it should: "Chunyu won't take me in, you take me there."

"The county lord read the story book, and felt that there are secret exercises in it, so he must go in and look for it." Chunyu lowered her head: "But I feel that there may be danger inside, and the county lord should not go in."

"There is Xie Yan, don't worry!" Gu Ning said, then looked at Xie Yan eagerly.

Xie Yan rubbed the center of his eyebrows, he never expected that Gu Ning's reason was this.

However, being watched by these clear eyes, even if Xie Yan wanted to refuse, he couldn't open his mouth.

In desperation, he could only make one request: "I'll go in and check first, and if it's safe inside, I'll accompany the county lord in."

No!

Alarm bells rang in Chunyu's mind.

Nothing can happen to the county head, let alone Xie Yan!

She immediately said: "Let the slaves and Yue Rong go in to investigate, if there is no danger, then the county lord and Commander Xie will go inside to search for treasures."

As she spoke, she winked at Yue Rong who was not far away.

Both Yue Rong and Chunyu are trustworthy people, Gu Ning agreed without hesitation.

There is no danger in the cave, otherwise, how could Gu Qingqiu, who was delicate and frail back then, get to that box from there?

Yue Rong trotted over, heard what happened from Chunyu, and looked at Gu Ning with complicated eyes.

Sure enough, only the county lord can have such a whimsical idea, and only the county lord can allow the master to indulge him like this.

He sighed faintly in his heart, but still walked in with Chunyu.

Gu Ning watched the two enter, and nervously held both hands.

Not surprisingly, the box was about to fall into her hands!

map!

Because of excitement, Gu Ning's ears turned slightly red.

Suddenly, she felt a numbness coming from her ears.

"Satisfied?"

Looking again, Xie Yan was pinching her earlobe, and did not forget to rub it there twice.

Gu Ning was startled, even his face turned red.

She looked nervously at the imperial guards, who were throwing stretchers, not aware of the turbulent waves between herself and Xie Yan.

"They won't find out."

Seemingly aware of Gu Ning's nervousness, Xie Yan comforted her.

It's just that not only did he not let go of his hand, but the other hand also moved, holding Gu Ning half in his arms.

Although Gu Ning was tall, compared to Xie Yan, she looked petite. She was firmly blocked by Xie Yan's body, and with these trees as a cover, the imperial guards couldn't see what they were doing at this time.

"Yue Rong and the others are still inside!" Gu Ning reminded nervously, "Don't mess around!"

"Without my order, Yue Rong will not come out." Xie Yan said firmly.

It happened that after hearing this, Yue Rong, who was holding the wooden box and was about to come out, didn't dare to move.

It was Chunyu who coughed softly: "Master, we found a wooden box in this cave!"

When Gu Ning heard this, he immediately broke free from Xie Yan's embrace.

She burrowed into the cave cautiously, and with the faint light of the torch, she saw a few things in the box clearly.

The wooden box is not big, and there are several exquisite jewelry, the workmanship is good, and the materials are even more extraordinary.

However, Gu Ning's eyes did not stay on them for a moment, she directly took out the dirty cloth in the wooden box, and slowly unfolded it.

Yue Rong's pupils constricted: "This..."

"You know him?" Gu Ning raised his head with a smile, looking at him expectantly.

Yue Rong could only feel Xie Yan's gaze on his back, he shook his head hastily: "This is such a dirty thing, I'd better throw it away for you."

As he spoke, he was about to reach out and take the cloth.

But Gu Ning shrank back, and Chunyu immediately stood in front of Yue Rong.

Gu Ning poked his head out from behind Chunyu, and took a photo of this piece of cloth with a torch: "It must be a good thing to put together with such valuable jewelry. Take it back and take a closer look."

Yue Rong was in pain for a while, this is of course a good thing!He watched Gu Ning put a few pieces of jewelry into the bun, and put the piece of cloth in the armhole, his eyes burning.

He still wanted to say something, but was greeted with a cold look from Xie Yan.

In an instant, Yue Rong's small thoughts disappeared.

Forget it, the master even gave the most important key, but it's just a map, so why would the master care?

Gu Ning walked beside Xie Yan, his beautiful face was full of joy visible to the naked eye: "Xie Yan, go find me tonight."

Hearing this, Xie Yan thought of something, his Adam's apple slipped, and his eyes darkened: "Okay."

Yue Rong deliberately took a step behind, and waited for Gu Ning and Chunyu to go away before he moved to Xie Yan's side: "Master, this is a good opportunity! You must get the whereabouts of the private treasury from the county master!"

Xie Yan glanced at him coldly: "Don't act without my order."

"Naturally!" Yue Rong nodded quickly, "The subordinates never thought of taking away the map and keys, but the private treasury is not only the county lord's favorite jewelry, but also the most important thing! You can't miss it!"

"The county magistrate likes jewellery, so at worst, give her all the jewellery. You must get that one thing alone!" Yue Rong chattered, "Sometimes, you can also use some tricks, such as the beauty trick... ..."

"I know it well, you don't have to say it anymore."
