Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Ning put her arms around her chest and leaned against the door. Seeing Chu Shiling's head in pain, she twitched the corners of her lips, "You don't look like this in the carriage."

"Who swears that he must expose his true colors?"

"I'm scared!" Chu Shiling wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her delicate makeup was all messed up by her, and she was extremely embarrassed.

She didn't notice, sniffed, and said aggrievedly: "I'm afraid I'm like those missing women..."

Thinking of the corpses found in the mass graves, Chu Shiling shuddered.

"You don't know that those so-called girls who were taken away by bandits will appear in mass graves every once in a while. None of their bodies are intact, all of them are scarred, and some have broken hands and feet!"

As soon as he said this, Chu Shiling choked up in fear.

A cold light flashed across Gu Ning's eyes: "Are you sure he did it?"

"He must have done it!" Chu Shiling nodded quickly, and said convincingly, "I have sent someone to inquire, and the second girl from Lihua Village is missing! He must have taken her away!"

"I know there are experts sent by your aunt by your side, you must help me!" Chu Shiling said tearfully, "Li Cheng, this scumbag, must not be left behind!"

Gu Ning poked her bun face: "I will help you investigate this matter, what benefits will you give me?"

Chu Shiling stopped crying, and looked at Gu Ning sadly: "I am already like this, do you still benefit? What about our relationship along the way?"

"Affection is for affection, and cooperation is for cooperation." Gu Ning said solemnly, "I don't do business at a loss."

"What do you want?" Chu Shiling felt sad, and kept wiping the tears on his face with a handkerchief, "You are richer and prettier than me, what else do you need?"

Gu Ning was stunned for a moment, as if it was true...

But before she could figure it out, Chu Shiling aggrieved and took out something from the secret compartment under her bed, and handed it to Gu Ning reluctantly.

"This is a gem I picked up in the mountains when I was a child, and I give it to you."

Her face wrinkled into a ball, she gritted her teeth and opened the box.

In an instant, the radiant gemstones inside the box illuminated the dimly lit room.

"Such a big gem?" "Are you willing to give it to me?"

Of course Chu Shiling was reluctant, she wiped away her tears in pain: "As long as you promise me to help me uncover Li Cheng's true face, this gem will be yours!"

"I picked this up in the mountains! It's just this one! My mother said that only when the late emperor was around, could there be such a big gem!"

The words Chu Shiling added gave Gu Ning a flash of inspiration. The two things were suddenly linked together, and an extremely bold guess emerged in her heart.

There are not many gem veins in Chu State. Most of these excellent gemstones came from the Western Regions. During the Taizong period, the Huns were beaten to the point that they could not fight back. Chu State has close contacts with the Western Regions. And then there were more, and jewelry made of these brightly colored gemstones was all the rage.

When the first emperor was around, although the Xiongnu were eager to move, they were deterred by the national power of Chu. They only dared to plunder trade routes, and did not dare to become enemies with Chu. From then on, the trade routes leading to the Western Regions became dangerous, and these gems became rare.

Such a large piece of gemstone, even in the period of Taizong and Xiandi, is a treasure. Even if the Pei family got it, they would keep it for good life and use it as a family heirloom.

Appearing in a mountain now, it is very likely to be...

"Which mountain?"

Gu Ning could hardly hold back his excited heart, and looked at Chu Shiling with burning eyes.

"Yunshan." Chu Shiling said, raising her chin, "I can ride a horse and hunt at the age of ten! I picked up this gem when I went to the mountain with my parents! They all said I was a little lucky star!" !"

Gu Ning nodded perfunctorily, his eyes fell on this gem, and he took it over without hesitation.

"Okay, I promise you."

"You!" Chu Shiling snatched the gem back and said angrily, "You haven't done anything for me yet!"

"With my help, there is nothing that cannot be done." Gu Ning was full of confidence, "Take me out of the city tomorrow, and let's go to Lihua Village to find out."

Chu Shiling's expression of dissatisfaction immediately subsided, she nodded quickly, and said again worriedly: "You must do what you say!"

"Of course, in order to protect your safety, I decided to live with you." Gu Ning said seriously, "This way you don't have to worry about being killed by Li Cheng."

"You live with me?" Chu Shiling couldn't believe it, "Didn't Fang Zhizhou give you a place to live?"

Gu Ning looked like he was planning for Chu Shiling: "Of course I was given a house, but I decided to stay for you."

"Don't worry, I won't return to Beijing until the border crisis is resolved. During this period, I will definitely investigate this matter for you to get to the bottom of it!"

Gu Ning's words immediately shifted all of Chu Shiling's attention to this matter.

"Okay!" Chu Shiling nodded solemnly, "I'll let someone arrange a yard for you!"

Gu Ning was very satisfied with Chu Shiling's going on the road. She patted Chu Shiling's shoulder: "In order to prevent people from being targeted, let's act in the name of going hunting."

"Okay!" Chu Shiling nodded heavily.

Seeing Gu Ning's confident appearance, her heart finally let go.

She has personally seen Gu Ning's ability to pierce an assassin with a hairpin, and with Gu Ning's masters around, she must be faster than she can do it herself!

……

The closer you get to the border, the colder the climate, especially at night, when the temperature drops instantly, making your hands and feet stiff and difficult to move.

On a flat land by the river bank, tents were erected at the highest point, and several fires were burning fiercely, warming up the stiff body due to the drop in temperature.

"Master, we have checked everything. There is indeed a mountain nearby." Holding a detailed map in his hand, the dark guard pointed out the location of the mountain. !"

"We are at the foot of Yunshan Mountain now. If we travel faster, we will arrive at the capital of Yuezhou tomorrow. We can buy some supplies in the city, and then we can set off for Bailing!"

The map they stole from Changning county lord earlier allowed them to quickly locate the treasure. Thinking of getting a large number of treasures and that vital magic medicine, the secret guards all smiled.

The corners of Yan Yu's lips twitched, and a smile of determination appeared on his gentle and jade-like face.

"Take a rest overnight and start tomorrow! Be sure to return to the capital before the snow blocks the mountains!"

"Yes!"

……

In the capital at this time, as the autumn wind gradually rose, the bleakness of autumn gradually permeated all parts of the capital.

There are only two masters in the Gu residence, Gu Qingqiu and Gu Zhiyuan, and the servants have nothing to do, gossiping about various families in the capital all day long.

"Seeing that it's almost the end of the new year, why hasn't the third prince come to propose marriage? Could it be that this marriage has been voided?"

"That is a marriage bestowed by the emperor. Without the emperor's will, it cannot be annulled! Our young lady is a surefire third concubine!"

"But I heard from my third aunt's cousin's son who was on duty in the imperial city that the empress is visiting your daughter for the third prince!"

"Which prince doesn't have a group of wives and concubines? He must be looking at his side concubine! But our eldest lady is the main concubine! This is incomparable!"

Several people were discussing enthusiastically, without even noticing that Gu Qingqiu was separated by a wall.

Seeing Gu Qingqiu's ugly face, Ban Xia was so angry that she wanted to drive those servants away.

But Gu Qingqiu stretched out a pale hand at this moment, and held down the restless Banxia: "There's no need to scold them, it's all true."

"I'm not Gu Ning, the queen won't care about my feelings." Gu Qingqiu's tone was indifferent, as if talking about something irrelevant to her, "What's more, with a concubine with a humble family background like me, the queen is here for your highness's future. Lu, will definitely choose two noble side concubines for him."

The more Gu Qingqiu spoke, the more the blood on his face faded, until his face was as pale as a piece of white paper.

She walked slowly on the cobblestones in the garden, the bleak autumn wind was like her heart at the moment, she clenched her hands uneasily.

While walking, Gu Qingqiu suddenly covered his stomach and retched non-stop.

Ban Xia looked terrified, and hurriedly wanted to find a doctor.

But at this moment, her hand was grabbed by Gu Qingqiu.

"There's no need to go to the doctor." Gu Qingqiu's pale face had a very obvious smile, "Prepare the car, I'm going to find Your Highness."

Ban Xia was stunned for a while, and suddenly saw the clue from Gu Qingqiu's expression.

She was surprised and delighted: "You are..."

"It's a good thing." Gu Qingqiu's lips curled slightly, "My calculations these days are finally not in vain."

In Ming Guifang.

Chu Yunyi held the beauty in his arms, and the two people beside him were Jiang Qian and Fang Ziyun.

Fang Ziyun is the youngest son of the Fang family. He was pampered and brought up by Mrs. Fang. He is a well-known playboy in Beijing, good at eating, drinking and having fun.

He set up a banquet in Baihualou today, and invited Chu Yunyi and Jiang Qian over, accompanied by the three most beautiful oirans of Baihualou.

It's just that among the three of them, he was the only one enjoying the beauty. For the other two, Chu Yunyi had a gloomy face, and Jiang Qian was thoughtful, and his mind was not on the beauty.

"Third Highness, don't worry, with my eldest brother here, you will surely get your wish!" Fang Ziyun saw Chu Yunyi's face was ugly, and quickly raised his wine glass, "Since we are here, we always want to eat and have fun!"

"Jiang Qian, don't think about business all day long!" Fang Ziyun pushed Jiang Qian.

Hearing this, Jiang Qian reluctantly raised his glass and drank it down.

Although Chu Yunyi's complexion did not improve, he gave Fang Ziyun this face.

Fang Ziyun chuckled and winked at the three beauties beside him.

The room immediately darkened, and only the place where the three beauties stood had a soft light, and their bodies looked more and more alluring under the light.

Jiang Qian tapped the table lightly, appreciating it a bit.

"Is this the new stuff you're talking about?"

"Naturally." Fang Ziyun nodded, "Just watch!"

I saw the three beauties twisting their waists to the music, and their eyes were like silk, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became hot.

But at this moment, the window was smashed, and three masked men in black broke into the room, the blades in their hands glowing coldly.

"There's an assassin!" Fang Ziyun was so frightened that he couldn't bear the shit, he hurriedly protected Chu Yunyi and walked out, not forgetting to open his mouth and shout.
