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

On the path in the forest, dozens of burly guards stood at the intersection, and dozens of people followed Gu Ning and Chu Shiling, walking into the forest together.

Seeing the large group of people behind him, Chu Shiling couldn't help rolling her eyes: "It's just a trip, why are you so cautious? Is there anyone else who will harm you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Shiling covered her mouth by herself.

Didn't someone want to kill Gu Ning... The assassins at the station last time were all targeting Gu Ning!

Seeing that Chu Shiling closed her mouth consciously, Gu Ning nodded with satisfaction: "You still have a little conscience, but I saved you in a critical moment last time."

Chu Shiling muttered: "Ten days have passed since that incident, and you mentioned it at least twenty times in these ten days! My ears are almost callused!"

"Let me see, let me see!" Gu Ning pinched Chu Shiling's ears, very serious, "You don't have any calluses on your ears! I must have said that there are fewer!"

Seeing Gu Ning's tendency to whisper in her ears again, Chu Shiling quickly covered her ears: "I was wrong! I shouldn't have said that! You are precious, you cannot suffer any mistakes!"

Gu Ning snorted softly: "You are wise!"

Beside Gu Ning, Chunyu spoke at the right time: "The assassins at the post station were menacing and well-trained. You could tell at a glance that they were coming for the county lord. For the safety of the county lord, and for your safety, the accompanying people always More."

"Otherwise, if either of you and the county master makes a mistake, the servants will not be able to bear it."

Chunyu comforted her softly, which made Chu Shiling feel better.

She raised her chin towards Gu Ning, and pointed to the gloomy path in front of her: "Walking through this path, you will find a mass grave."

Most people in Yuezhou are poor, and sometimes they can’t even afford coffins, so they are buried in the mountains with a straw mat. In addition, bandits and bandits are rampant nearby, and many innocent people have died tragically at their hands. These fat sheep were buried, so they threw people into the woods. If things go on like this, the places where corpses are often thrown become mass graves.

As soon as he arrived at this intersection, Gu Ning smelled a rancid smell coming from inside.

She stretched out her hand towards Chunyu, Chunyu immediately put something in Gu Ning's hand, Gu Ning put the thing on his face, two lanyards hung on his ears, and a large piece of cotton cloth in front.

Following Gu Ning's actions, Chunyu and those personal guards also put them on.

Chu Shiling stared blankly at their actions: "What is this? Why don't I have one?"

"It's a good thing that Chunyu came up with yesterday." Gu Ning casually threw one to her, "We named it a mask, and after wearing it, it can at least block the smell of corpses."

Chu Shiling blinked, put it on her face in a decent manner, and said sullenly: "Let's go and have a look! Maybe we can find any clues!"

While she was speaking, in order to show her determination in front of Gu Ning, she walked in first.

Just after walking a few steps, she bowed her waist after seeing the mass grave, and vomited in embarrassment, and when she took off her mask and smelled the putrid smell, she vomited even more.

Gu Ning rolled his eyes, and someone pulled her to the end, while he walked to the front with Chunyu.

The mass grave was surrounded by mosquitoes and flies, buzzing, blown by the wind along with the rancid smell, and maggots swarming on the corpse could be faintly seen.

For a pampered person like Chu Shiling, it was indeed unacceptable, and I don't know where she got the courage to look at those tortured corpses.

"County Lord, are you alright?" Chunyu kept looking at Gu Ning, her eyes filled with worry.

The head of Xinyue County is pampered and pampered, and the same is true for her own county head. If he saw this miserable situation, he would have a nightmare when he went back...

Thinking of this, Chunyu's heart clenched tightly.

But Gu Ning waved his hand: "I'm fine."

She followed the system to do tasks before, and the tragedy she has seen will only be worse than now.

"With so many corpses, it's basically impossible to find the corpses of the girls you mentioned. What's more, after five years, their corpses may have been burnt."

When Gu Ning spoke, he pointed to the scorched place on the edge of the big pit: "In order to prevent the plague, the mass graves will regularly burn the corpses."

Chu Shiling almost vomited out all the contents of her stomach. After hearing Gu Ning's words, tears welled up in her eyes: "Is there no evidence?"

"It's not impossible to find evidence." Gu Ning touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "According to what you said, Li Cheng is a murderous person, and he will definitely not stop. After you leave During the five years, maybe he will become even more arrogant because of your departure, we only need to send someone to investigate nearby, sort out the number of missing girls, and we can get some clues."

"Although the Li family covers the sky with one hand in Yuezhou, it is impossible to kidnap girls casually. They may pretend to be bandits." Gu Ning thought for a while, thinking about it, "Maybe we can use a trick to lure the snake out of the hole."

Chu Shiling listened to Gu Ning's words, her almond eyes widened: "You came up with this?"

"Otherwise?" Gu Ning angrily pushed her head away, "Could it be that you told me?"

"No." Chu Shiling shook her head, still refusing to leave Gu Ning even half a step, "I'm just curious, if you have such a brain, why did you get fooled by Gu Qingqiu and the third prince?"

It really is a pot that can't be opened without mentioning it!

Gu Ning rolled his eyes, and threatened secretly: "If you mention these two people again, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Chu Shiling immediately fell silent.

But after leaving the mass grave, Chu Shiling took Gu Ning's arm familiarly again: "Let's go to Lihua Village!"

Under Gu Ning's complex eyes, Chu Shiling's voice was much lower, like a mosquito: "Maybe I can find other clues."

Gu Ning sighed: "You are really innocent."

"When you found Lihua Village back then, couldn't Li Cheng not find it?"

"Perhaps the family in Lihua Village has been silenced by Li Cheng long ago!"

Hearing this, Chu Shiling felt as if struck by lightning, her body trembled, and she looked at Gu Ning hastily: "Isn't it because I hurt them?"

Gu Ning was very patient with Chu Shiling, a goose, so he patted her hand: "Let's go to Lihua Village first, what if Li Cheng still has a trace of humanity?"

However, Chu Shiling's face was pale, obviously he did not have any expectations for Li Cheng.

Lihua Village is not far from the mass grave, only thirty miles away, but it is remote and the mountain roads are difficult to walk.

Gu Ning and Chu Shiling rode horses and traveled for half an hour in the cold autumn wind before arriving at Lihua Village.

The villagers in Lihua Village are simple and honest, and it is the first time they have seen so many noble people riding horses—in their opinion, owning a horse is already extremely rich.

And the noble person in the head is bright and shining, as gorgeous as a dazzling sun.

The villagers who were working in the field looked panic-stricken, and an old man with a beard tremblingly walked in front of Gu Ning and his party.

"I don't know if all the distinguished guests want to..."

Gu Ning got off his horse and personally helped the old man who was about to salute, and said softly, "We were entrusted by someone to find someone."

"Does the old man know the Zhang family on the east side of the village?"

Hearing this, panic quickly flashed across the old man's cloudy eyes, and he nodded slowly: "I know."

"Can you show us?" Gu Ning asked again.

This time, the old man shook his head: "The Zhang family moved away five years ago. Their only daughter disappeared. The old couple couldn't bear the blow, so they moved away!"

Behind Gu Ning, Chu Shiling breathed a sigh of relief.

Just go!Just go!Otherwise, if it falls into the hands of that scumbag Li Cheng, I'm afraid there will only be a dead end!

She tugged on Gu Ning's sleeve: "Quickly ask where they went!"

Gu Ning shook off Chu Shiling's hand, and led the old man aside.

"Old man, we are not bad people." Gu Ning said softly, "We were also entrusted by others to find the Zhang family couple."

"If you know their whereabouts, please tell me."

"Just ask, don't they want to bring to justice the murderer who killed their daughter?"

Hearing this, the old man's hand holding the cane kept trembling. He glanced at Gu Ning and saw that her expression was sincere, and her eyes were clear and firm.

But in the end, he still shook his head: "The couple were heartbroken and left Lihua Village overnight. I don't know where they went."

"Forget it." Gu Ning sighed, "I forced it, but if you have news about them, let them go to the Emerald Pavilion in Fucheng. Just take out this jade pendant, and someone will meet them."

Gu Ning's cloak blocked all sight. From the perspective of others, they could only see Gu Ning talking with the old man, but could not see the movements in her hands.

The warm suet jade was stuffed into the old man's hand, he was stunned for a long time, and finally put it into the sleeve cage calmly.

The two separated as if nothing had happened.

Chu Shiling stomped her feet, eager to speak, but suppressed it.

"Forget it!" She said to the old man, "But if the Zhang family and his wife come back, you must let them go to the county lord's mansion to find me! Report the name of Xinyue county lord!"

Gu Ning secretly rolled his eyes when he heard her loud voice.

Shouting so loudly, I'm afraid that the Zhang family and his wife will be taken away before they can touch the Princess's Mansion.

However, Chu Shiling didn't notice it, and thought that she had done something useful.

On the way back to the city, Gu Ning tugged at her ears and warned: "If you really want to protect them, you should do it secretly. The louder you shout, the faster they will die! Of course, all this is based on Li Chengzhen On a scum basis."

Chu Shiling's delicate face lost all blood, she squeezed her hands hastily, and wanted to turn around, but Gu Ning grabbed her.

"Okay, I've already arranged for people to watch around Lihua Village. Whether it's the Zhang family couple or Li Cheng's people, as soon as they show up, someone will send the news to me."

"If you really want to protect them, find a way to let Fang Zhizhou suppress the bandits during this time." Gu Ning chuckled lightly, hiding his deep meaning, "Yuezhou has [-] troops at any rate, if no one is behind it, why would the bandits Rampant every year?"

Chu Shiling opened her mouth wide: "You mean..."

"Let's talk about the rest when we go back." Gu Ning stared at her warningly, "If your mouth ruins my business, I want you to look good!"

Chu Shiling shrank her neck, but her mood gradually improved, and her face was flushed.

"Do you really have a way to deal with Li Cheng?" Chu Shiling clamped his horse's belly, stood side by side with Gu Ning, and asked in a low voice, "You really don't need my help?"

Gu Ning glanced at her lightly, exactly the same as when he looked at her in Lihua Village just now.

Chu Shiling got another meaning out of it, and said angrily, "Don't look down on me!"

"I don't look down on you." Gu Ning shook his head and said earnestly, "It's just that everything you do is not very smart."

"If I were you, I would have wiped out Li Cheng five years ago."

Hearing this, Chu Shiling lowered her head aggrieved, tears in her eyes.

However, Gu Ning's tone was gentler: "But you have done a good deed."

Chu Shiling raised his head quickly, his eyes were burning, implying the light of expectation.

Gu Ning paused for a while, then dragged out the ending and said, "If you tell me about this, I will be able to seek justice for them. This is considered a good thing you have done."

"shameless!"

Chu Shiling cursed angrily, raised his whip, and ran to the front.
