The interior decoration of the medicine shop was too simple and looked quite strange. Wen Qing pulled up his hood and approached. He saw two shop assistants in coarse cloth in front of the door, so he asked, "Which pharmacy are you from?"

The two men looked at each other first, then asked, "Who are you?"

Wen Qing's expression changed slightly: "... passerby."

"What do you want? Here are only wound medicine and plaster." said the waiter.

"No need." Wen Qing said. He rode away without saying anything more to the two.

The two men in front of the door exchanged glances, one of them nodded, went around the back of the house to get the horse, and quietly followed. The other man whistled, and one of the pedestrians on the street entered the shop. After a while, he also went out and headed towards the courtyard.

……

Wen Qing rode his horse at full speed, moving through the forest.

The horse he rode was also unusual, extremely fast and flexible in turning. In just a moment, Wu Dai, who was chasing him and disguised as a servant, lost his target.

Wu Dai reined in his horse in the woods, feeling something was amiss.

Sure enough, before he could turn his horse around, a flash of a knife appeared from the side, and Wen Qing's cloak fluttered like an eagle, and he struck at his face.

Wu Dai reacted very quickly and drew his sword in an instant. There was a loud thud when the weapons collided, and his palms became numb from the shock.

His expression changed greatly.

This person's martial arts skills were so profound that he could hardly detect them. If he had known that this person was so powerful, he would not have risked following him alone.

He fell into the trap. Wu Dai frowned and attacked with all his strength, but he could only withstand two moves from Wen Qing before he fell off his horse and was subdued by Wen Qing.

Wen Qing first removed his limbs and jaws to prevent him from attacking or committing suicide. He searched Wu Dai's pockets briefly, but found nothing, so he asked, "Who are you?"

Wu Dai didn't look at him, but just lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Wen Qing was about to speak again, but his expression suddenly changed. The person under his knees suddenly started bleeding from all seven orifices, and his breath became weaker. In just a breath, he was completely dead.

"When..." Wen Qing said to himself.

Could it be that at the first moment of their fight, this person had already foreseen the outcome and made plans for everything that followed?

What kind of organization is this?

Wen Qing stood up with a gloomy face and put Wu Dai's body on the horse's back. He turned the horse's head towards the deep forest, and Wen Qing whipped the horse's butt, and the horse carried Wu Dai's body into the forest.

In any case, it is not advisable to stay here for long.

Wen Qing thought.

He jumped on his horse, looked up at the sky to determine the direction, and rode westward.

……

"What does that person look like?" Gu Yue was sitting and immediately became alert when he heard this.

"He was wearing a hood, so I couldn't see his face clearly, but he seemed to be a young man." Wu Sui said, "Wu Dai has already caught up with that man, but I don't know when I can report back."

"Does that person look very aloof... or very awesome? He speaks in a cold voice, as if he is the most powerful person in the world?" Gu Yue asked.

"…It seemed a little bit. We first asked him which pharmacy the medicine shop belonged to. We asked him who he was, and he said he was a passerby." Wu Sui said, "Then…"

"Hey, you've never sold anything before, so it's normal for you to reveal your flaws." Gu Yue scratched his head irritably, "If you want to sell something, the first thing you should do is introduce what you're selling. Why ask who the customer is?"

Wu Sui blushed, feeling guilty, and knelt on one knee: "I was negligent, please punish me, Master!"

Gu Yue was stunned. He suddenly realized that Wumen was actually Gu Xu's subordinate, and his words just now seemed to be condemning them. Without waiting for Gu Xu to say anything, Gu Yue said: "Most people would not pay attention to these details, it's just that the opponent is too cunning."

Gu Xu signaled him to stand up with his eyes. He stood behind Gu Yue, his hand on his shoulder: "What do you mean?"

"I can't think of anyone other than Wen Qing who is this smart." Gu Yue said, "And it is logical for him to appear here for the Fifth Prince's matter... I just don't know what his purpose is. If he is also trying to stop the people from Ganzhou from taking action..."

Gu Yue suddenly stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xu raised his hand and touched his ear again.

"No... I found a bug." Gu Yue muttered to himself.

"Myna what?" Myna? Bird? Gu Xu paused.

"A loophole." Gu Yue changed his words and said, "The Fifth Prince is very likely unaware of this."

"Why?" Gu Xu pulled his ear and urged him to speak quickly.

"If the Fifth Prince planned all this, then why would he send another messenger to Ganzhou to report the news? He will be there anyway, so can't he just tell them when he gets there?" Gu Yue said a few words, but then overturned his own conclusion, "No, no, no. Maybe their plan will be carried out before the Fifth Prince arrives in Ganzhou, so he needs to send someone else to notify him..."

A conclusion comes to mind.

"Although we still don't know why they stopped the plan, I think the person behind this is closely related to the Fifth Prince, and the Fifth Prince's honor and disgrace are the same as theirs."

Mu family.

The two of them thought at the same time.

"But everything is just speculation. We should rush to Ganzhou as soon as possible and not delay here any longer." Gu Yue stood up.

Gu Xu rubbed his fingertips and said, "Let's leave immediately."

"Guard the post station here and make sure no letters are missed." Gu Yue said.

"If Wu Dai comes back and gets any useful information, he must send a letter here immediately, and don't miss any details." Gu Yue instructed Wu Sui.

"Yes!" Wu Sui said.

But even so, Gu Yue still felt a little worried. Can Wu Dai really successfully track someone as smart as Wen Qing?

……

They quickly entered the city and returned to the inn to pick up Pin'an and his friends who had nothing to do. After they replenished their food and water, they set off again.

Along the way, Gu Yue was full of worries.

Firstly, he was a little worried about the safety of Wu Dai who had gone out to follow Wen Qing, and secondly, it was because of the still uncertain situation in Ganzhou.

"We have already taken the messenger under control and will soon get his confession." Gu Xu said, "Don't worry too much. I'll take care of everything."

Pin'an and others were left far behind.

"It seems that no other news has been sent to Ganzhou yet, but Wen Qing has also appeared near Chang'an, which makes me very concerned." Gu Yue said, "He can mobilize the Hidden Dragon Guards, so he must have a very high status in the forces behind him. If he comes forward to stop this, then we will be in trouble."

"Everything is still unclear now, and we can't spare any manpower to search for Wen Qing. Let's just take it one step at a time." Gu Xu was not very worried.

He would not put all his eggs in one basket. If this matter failed, he would have another trick up his sleeve in Ganzhou.

Now that everything has been arranged and planned, it is time for him to come into the emperor's sight.
