Hearing what she said, Pei Anlin only felt a headache.

"A master? Is that the little girl you brought back?" Pei Anlin snorted lightly, "Even if she is really the princess of Southern Xinjiang, how much can such a little girl know?"

Before Gu Ning could speak, Yundie, who was riding a pony, came to Pei Anlin's side. Her eyes with extremely deep pupils stared at Pei Anlin: "I'm afraid you don't want to know what I know."

Seeing Yundie secretly poking her hand on the small gourd around her waist, Gu Ning coughed lightly and said loudly: "Yundie, get on the carriage!"

Pei Anlin is her own uncle, she can't just watch Yundie deal with Pei Anlin.

After listening to Gu Ning's words, Yundie hesitated for a while, then withdrew her hand and walked quickly to the carriage where Gu Ning was.

Gu Ning smiled at Pei Anlin: "Uncle, let's go to Cihuai Temple first, I really want to meet that Master Zhiming."

Pei Anlin was still thinking about Yundie's glance. Seeing that Gu Ning was still heartless, he rubbed the center of his brows helplessly, patting Gu Ning's head lovingly: "Okay, I have already sent someone to deliver the post Go to Cihuai Temple, as long as Master Zhiming is in Cihuai Temple, he will definitely meet you."

He is very concerned about Gu Ning's physical condition.

Gu Ning nodded obediently, and she didn't say to Yundie until Pei Anlin left, "You must always pay attention to the movement around you later, I suspect that someone will set up an ambush in the Temple of Cihuai."

She was surprised that there was no ambush on the most dangerous section of the cliff just now, and thinking about their itinerary carefully, even if she were to choose, she would choose to attack at Cihuai Temple.

On the way back to Beijing, an army of one hundred thousand was standing by. Even the most powerful people could not guarantee that they would succeed in the assassination, but Cihuai Temple was different.

The location of Cihuai Temple is not big, it is impossible for all the troops to be stationed there. If Pei Anlin wants to take her to see Master Zhiming, he will only bring his confidants. Once there are fewer people, they will be able to do it easily.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning was extremely wary of this trip to Cihuai Temple.

After hearing these words, Yundie's eyes were very puzzled: "Since you already know that there will be an ambush there, why did you go there? Aren't you Chu people always cautious?"

"Naturally, be cautious." Gu Ning smiled and took Yundie's hand, "But isn't there still you here? Once you go out, as long as they don't come with thousands of people, they will be easy to deal with."

Yundie was in a good mood after being praised by Gu Ning. She hugged her hands and nodded slightly: "It's natural. As long as I make a move, I will be able to kill them all!"

In this way, the itinerary up the mountain is set.

The army was stationed at the foot of the mountain, and Pei Anlin led a hundred people to escort Gu Ning up the mountain.

Mingde led his people to squat in the forest, watched Gu Ning and the others' movements, and secretly sighed: "Are the brothers on the mountain ready?"

"Brother, don't worry, our people have already been prepared, just waiting for them to go up the mountain!"

Hearing this, Mingde heaved a sigh of relief: "Just get ready, otherwise, I'm really worried about the county lord's safety."

The people around him nodded and said worriedly: "Isn't that right, this Cihuai Temple is the place where we planned to do it before. If someone sent by the emperor wants to do it, this is a good time, but our people don't Dare to act too arrogantly, that's why I couldn't find the hiding place of those people."

"Will the people sent by the emperor take action today?" Mingde was a little worried.

However, the people around him said in an old way: "Of course! When we chose Cihuai Temple at the beginning, it was because of the high and dangerous terrain of Cihuai Temple. , Changning County Lord was killed by us a long time ago, and these [-] mountains are enough for us to hide, as long as it is not the gods in the sky, it is impossible to find our traces in so many mountains!"

Hearing his swear words, Mingde's face became even more solemn: "Be sure to be prepared, and the county magistrate must not be frightened!"

"Naturally!" The people around who heard Mingde's words nodded their heads one after another, all of them looked extremely serious.

Seeing their appearance, Ming De knew that they also believed the rumors.

But thinking of Gu Ning's safety, he felt that these trivial matters were harmless.

……

In the Cihuai Temple, there was silence, only a few young monks sweeping the floor.

Seeing the murderous Pei Anlin, they were stunned for a moment, and then someone quickly went to the host.

The host heard Pei Anlin's intention and sighed: "I have seen the general's post a long time ago, but Master Zhiming's return date has not yet been set, and it may take a few more days before he comes back."

Pei Anlin frowned upon hearing this.

The time to return to Beijing was very urgent, he had just won the battle, if he did not arrive in the capital within the time limit given by the emperor, the emperor would doubt his loyalty, but Gu Ning was unwilling to stay in the Temple of Mercy.

Pei Anlin's face was ugly, he looked at Gu Ning, and waved to Gu Ning: "Ning'er, come here, I have something to say to you."

"Yes." Gu Ning responded obediently, and at the same time winked at Yundie.

Yundie nodded slightly, she didn't need to go into the Temple of Cihuai, and she could know the layout of the Temple of Cihuai by relying on the Gu worms she released not long ago.

It's just strange that there was no ambush in the Temple of Compassion.

Yundie was very puzzled, and when she was about to wait for Gu Ning to come back and have a good talk with Gu Ning, she caught a glimpse of a cold glow from the corner of her eye.

"Be careful!" As soon as she said that, that cold light turned into thousands of cold lights. It turned out to be a sharp arrow shot from the dense forest!

Pei Anlin immediately grabbed Gu Ning's hand, and firmly guarded Gu Ning behind him. With an epee in his hand, he swung all the sharp arrows out.

It's just that the sharp arrows shot out of the woods seem to emerge endlessly, one after another.

Seeing that a sharp arrow was about to pass through Pei Anlin's chest, Gu Ning rushed forward. The aura she had accumulated for a long time disappeared because she tried her best to block the arrow.

As she stayed in this world for a longer time, the faint spiritual power in her body finally showed signs of rising, but after such a long time, it has changed from the size of one fingernail to two fingernails It's just the size, it doesn't work at all.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning's face darkened.

"Yundie!" she shouted loudly.

Yundie quickly came back to her senses, she flicked lightly on the small gourd at her waist, and from the mouth of the gourd, densely packed worms flew out to the woods.

Pei Anlin looked at this scene in amazement. Even though the crisis was resolved, the sense of crisis in his heart did not disappear at all. For him, the dangerous person became Yundie.

What I didn't expect was that Yundie just summoned the dense bunch of Gu worms, but as soon as the Gu worms flew into the woods, Yundie showed a surprised expression on his face.

She waved her hand, and under everyone's gaze, the Gu worms flew back again.

Yundie opened her eyes, Bai Nen's little face was already pale at the moment: "Everyone inside is dead."

Hearing this, Pei Anlin was shocked, and looked at Yundie even more suspiciously.

However, Yundie puffed up her cheeks at this moment, and said angrily: "I didn't kill it! Who is it!"

She looked around, thinking unhappily, who took away her chance to perform?

Facing Yundie's questioning, the people around did not say a word.

Gu Ning frowned at this moment, and thought of some other guesses: "Uncle, those people seemed to be heading towards you just now, when you protected me behind you, they could attack me from behind, but But he didn't make a move, but continued to shoot arrows at you."

Hearing this, Pei Anlin also frowned like Gu Ning, "Could it be... the emperor?"

"emperor!"

Gu Ning and Pei Anlin said a word in unison, Pei Anlin's face turned cold: "He has started so soon, could it be that something happened in the capital?"

"Accident?" Gu Ning thumped in her heart, for some reason, she connected this matter with Gu Qingqiu.

"Go and carry out all the corpses inside?" Pei Anlin asked coldly.

Yue Rong was the first to move. He walked quickly into the woods. Seeing the death of these people, he subconsciously raised his heart.

Isn't this method the same as their secret guard training?

The people sent by Pei Anlin also noticed something was wrong, and whispered something to Pei Anlin.

Seeing this, Yue Rong moved to Gu Ning's side in small steps, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Master, it seems that our people got rid of these assassins."

"Our people?" Gu Ning was surprised, "But the hidden guards brought by my uncle and I are only more than 100 people present, who else can... be a thank you banquet?"

A guess emerged in Gu Ning's mind.

This is the same as Yue Rong's guess, Yue Rong quickly nodded and said: "This subordinate also guessed the same way, the adults must be worried that the county magistrate will not be peaceful on your way back to Beijing, so he specially sent some secret guards to follow you, secretly Get rid of those troubles."

This statement makes sense.

Gu Ning nodded slowly, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

Since Xie Yan made these arrangements, why didn't he tell her?

Seeing that Gu Ning was still kept in the dark, Yue Rong secretly raised his heart, wondering what Gu Ning would look like after knowing the news that he was "pregnant".

He hardly dared to think about it.

……

"Where are things?" Gu Qingqiu looked coldly at the little eunuch in front of him, his eyes were swollen and filled with coldness and murderous intent.

The little eunuch honestly took out the brocade box: "This is what you want, I just scraped it off the longevity pill today."

Gu Qingqiu opened the brocade box, looked at the powder inside, her eyes darkened, and quickly wrapped the brocade box with a handkerchief.

"Good job." She nodded and handed the purse to the little eunuch, "This is your reward."

The little eunuch took the reward tremblingly, but there was not much joy in his heart.
