As Chunyu followed Gu Ning forward, she thought carefully about the strange events of these days.

"The servant also thought it was strange before. Yue Rong always wanted to stay away from the servant, but on the way back to Beijing this time, he was always by the servant's side. Whenever the servant noticed a change and wanted to go to investigate, he would go first One step, the euphemistic name is to protect the slaves."

Hearing Chunyu's words, Gu Ning sneered: "This is because there are ghosts in my heart."

Gu Ning has no doubts about Yue Rong's loyalty, but the person Yue Rong is loyal to is Xie Yan, which has nothing to do with her. Yue Rong's strange behavior these days must have other plans.

It's just that he doesn't know what he is trying to hide for the people behind him with such painstaking efforts!

Gu Ning squinted his eyes, his sparkling peach blossom eyes looked around in the night.

Chunyu frowned: "County Master, Yue Rong's lightness kung fu is outstanding, we may not be able to keep up, why don't you go back first, and this servant will go and find out for you?"

"The mountain people have their own tricks." Gu Ning snorted softly, raised his eyebrows high, and seemed to be bottomless in the night like a night charm.

Just when Chunyu was wondering, Gu Ning had already whispered in his heart.

"System, scan the nearby mountains."

The system reluctantly said: "It charges 2 luck points."

Having done business with the system so many times, Gu Ning understood that the charging items of the system all depend on whether they are related to the main plot or the main characters in the book. If they are related, then she can easily let her return overnight Before liberation, but if it has nothing to do with it, then this deal will be worth it!

The system gave a scanned picture of the nearby mountains, and the group of densely packed red dots made Gu Ning stunned.

so many people?

Gu Ning looked at the scan again in disbelief, the red dot on it remained unchanged.

Seeing that Gu Ning's face was slightly gloomy, Chunyu asked cautiously: "Master, are you angry?"

"I'm not angry." Gu Ning showed a sneer, but her smile looked extremely gloomy. When Chunyu saw this, her heart hung up, and she felt that something was wrong.

And Gu Ning followed the path all the way into the back mountain.

Chunyu's whole body was tense, and her spirit was also highly nervous, lest an assassin would appear from all around, but Gu Ning seemed much calmer.

She knew that if Yue Rong had murderous intentions towards her, Xie Yan would never keep him by her side. Rather than trusting Yue Rong, it would be better to say she trusted Xie Yan.

Chunyu saw that Gu Ning's face was calm, and her hands on the scabbard relaxed a little, but she still kept an eye on the movement around her at all times, lest Gu Ning might be in danger.

The two of them walked all the way to the depths of the back mountain, and after the voices of the Cihuai Temple could no longer be heard, it was only then that they noticed a strange movement coming from the woods.

Chunyu carefully pushed aside the branches, and saw that the tents had already been set up in the open space in front of her. These men were coming and going, looking very strange faces, she had never seen them before.

And Yue Rong was holding a branch in his mouth, talking happily to the man beside him, the yellow light of the bonfire reflected on his face, revealing his expression clearly.

Chunyu gritted her teeth secretly, wishing she could rush out and beat Yue Rong up.

Gu Ning pressed the back of her hand, raised his chin slightly at the person beside Yue Rong, and whispered, "I've never seen that person before, do you know his identity?"

"Your servant doesn't know either." Chunyu shook her head, "But seeing how good Yue Rong is with this group of people, they must be the secret guards that Mr. Xie raised in private."

However, Gu Ning shook his head slightly after she said this: "I don't think it's the hidden guards that Xie Yan raised, almost all the hidden guards he can use are placed by my side, and the number of those hidden guards is enough 100 people is already his limit, he has no other time and space to raise other hidden guards."

The cultivation of a hidden guard requires a lot of painstaking effort, silver and silver venues are indispensable, Xie Yan has always been in the capital, and the emperor also pays great attention to his whereabouts. There are only a few places for his daily activities, and the more than 100 hidden guards are already Xie Manor's capacity was limited, looking around, there were a total of 300 hidden guards in this camp.

They are all new faces!

Many doubts arose in Gu Ning's heart, she held her breath and stood still.

Seeing Gu Ning's appearance, Chunyu stopped talking.

Just at this moment, there was a sound behind the two of them.

The bodies of the two tensed up at this moment, and Chunyu's eyes were particularly disturbed. She kept looking behind her. Fortunately, the two men didn't notice their existence, and walked into the camp with their belts in their hands. , still laughing in the mouth.

"Who would have thought that our trip was supposed to be a murder, but it turned out to be escorting the Changning County Lord all the way to Beijing."

"Not only to escort her to the capital, but we also need to find a way to stay in the capital and guard her side without anyone noticing, lest she be murdered by those people in the capital."

"A pregnant woman is precious!"

The two of them walked in while talking.

Gu Ning froze in place, turned his head in disbelief: "Pregnant?"

At this moment, Chunyu also looked at her in shock, her eyes couldn't help but look at her belly.

However, Gu Ning's lower abdomen is flat, and it doesn't look like there is any sign of pregnancy at all, and Gu Ning has always been full of energy, not as weak as those pregnant women.

But Gu Ning and Xie Yan are indeed...

When Chunyu thought of this, the look in Gu Ning's eyes became meaningful again.

It was Gu Ning who rolled his big eyes, poked Chunyu's head and said, "What are you thinking? How could I be pregnant?"

Although she and Xie Yan have done everything that should be done, doesn't she know whether she is pregnant or not?

Just where did such outrageous rumors come from?

Gu Ning looked at Yue Rong with a gloomy gaze.

At this moment, Yue Rong is still complaining to Ming De.

"You don't know how obsessed your lord is with the county lord." When Yue Rong said this, he was extremely wronged, "Brother can accompany him to do things around and see the world, but I was left by the county lord. It's easy to talk, but the maid next to the county lord treats me like a thief. Whenever I come to you to exchange news these days, she will definitely look at me suspiciously. Do I look like a bad person? "

Mingde took a sip of water and felt very bored—they were not allowed to drink alcohol due to their mission.

He frowned and sighed deeply: "Aren't I just like you? At least you can still stay with the county magistrate and have a place to live. Look at us? In the past ten days, we But eating and sleeping in the open is only to protect the safety of the county lord! I don’t know where their Pei family offended so many people? There are still waves of assassins, and now there are three waves of dead in our hands! There is more than half of the journey, and I don’t know if there will be any accidents.”

Hearing this, Yue Rong frowned, feeling even more uneasy: "What should I do?"

"I..." Mingde was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of two figures standing in the bushes from the corner of his eye.

"I... you... her!"

Mingde stuttered, Yue Rong followed his eyes suspiciously, but saw two familiar figures, and the faces of these two people had similar expressions.

In an instant, Yue Rong covered his face and stood up, wanting to run away.

But Gu Ning's quiet words forced him to stop.

"Yue Rong, you are really brave."

Yue Rong covered his face and still didn't speak, but his footsteps had slowed down. Chunyu seized the opportunity and squeezed Yue Rong's shoulder.

"Where do you want to go?" Chunyu sneered, "You have lied to the county lord for so long, and the county lord hasn't settled with you yet!"

Yue Rong kept waving his hand: "You misidentified the person."

Chunyu laughed angrily: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Her martial arts are much higher than Yue Rong's, and her lightness kung fu is not as good as Yue Rong's, but as long as Yue Rong is caught by her, she will definitely not be able to escape, so Yue Rong can only be dragged in front of Gu Ning in despair.

Facing Gu Ning's eyes, Yue Rong lowered his head and whispered: "Master, I also obey the orders of the adults."

The other hidden guards in the camp raised their sharp weapons just now, staring at Gu Ning and Chunyu with a murderous look on their faces. If Mingde hadn't stopped them in time, they would have made a move a long time ago.

After hearing Yue Rong's name for Gu Ning, everyone's eyes immediately changed, and they ran in different directions. After a while, only Ming De and Yue Rong were left in the huge camp to deal with Gu Ning. trouble.

Gu Ning smiled coldly: "Tell me? What is going on? Even if Xie Yan wants to arrange people to protect me, he will not tell me where these people are, and... Xie Yan trusts I've seen almost everyone, why haven't I seen this one?"

She pointed at Mingde, her clear and penetrating eyes were full of coldness.

Mingde shrank behind Yue Rong, who said the county lord was stupid?Does that man have eyes?What kind of idiot can have such a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts?

Thinking of this, Mingde lowered his head even more.

Yue Rong's mind was spinning rapidly, just wanting to find a better excuse so that Gu Ning could expose the matter, so that he could explain it to Xie Yan.

However, Gu Ning's sneer pierced the thoughts in his heart.

"What?" Gu Ning said sarcastically, "You still want to hide it from me?"

"Of course not!" Yue Rong immediately shook his head, "This subordinate is just trying to explain to you!"

Mingde's mind turned quickly, and he immediately said: "Actually, General Lu sent us to protect the county lord! He was worried that someone in the capital wanted to murder the county lord, so he sent us here specially, but he and you There were conflicts before, and I was worried that you might misunderstand, but he specifically told us to hide our whereabouts, and it is best to be able to deal with those assassins in the dark."

"So it's like this..." Gu Ning's beautiful eyebrows were raised high, revealing a meaningful smile, "Who sent those people who assassinated me before?"

"Emotional General Lu is still a double-faced person, sending people to assassinate me while sending people to protect me?"

As soon as she said the sarcasm, Mingde's heart became cold. He knew that Gu Ning definitely didn't believe his own words. His mind was running wildly, and when he was thinking about how to cover up this matter, he suddenly Hearing Gu Ning say again: "Or...because something happened, General Lu had to send someone to protect me?"

The two of them didn't know that Gu Ning already knew the rumors in the camp, and they racked their brains to explain to Gu Ning, and they wanted to take this opportunity to cover up Gu Ning's guesses.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Gu Ning sneered, and said straight to the point: "When I came, I overheard the conversation of a few hidden guards. They said... I'm pregnant?"

"I'm a little curious. Where did this rumor come from? It's so good, why am I pregnant? This rumor, should it be taken seriously by General Lu? Otherwise, why would he change his attitude so much? Want to send someone to assassinate me, and now send someone to protect me?"

As soon as Gu Ning's voice fell, Yue Rong fell to his knees with a plop, his voice was extremely soft: "Master, don't ask any more questions! If you continue to ask, the subordinate will definitely be punished by the adults."

Hearing this, Gu Ning snorted coldly.

As smart as she is, she has already guessed who the rumor came from.

"You don't need to ask me to know that this is the news that Xie Yan asked you to spread, right?" Gu Ning said quietly under Yue Rong's shocked gaze, "He must use this news to contain General Lu, so that he has to protect me."

Yue Rong didn't know where to pour the bitterness in his heart, so he said quietly: "It's true."

If Gu Ning knew about Xie Yan's secret affairs, he might spend the rest of his life at the border.
