Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Just as the air froze, Jiang Qingwu was at a loss and fell into crazy self-doubt.

There was a commotion outside, the sound of messy footsteps and the screams of guests.

Jiang Qingwu suddenly woke up and rushed out with a knife.

When the three of them walked out of the inner room, they were surrounded by a large number of patrolling city guards.

"Capture the Shen family's rebels..." The leading city patrol guard gave an order, and the others rushed forward.

There was a ruthlessness in Jiang Qingwu's eyes, and he kicked the man out in the chest.

"You are blind, what kind of rebel is this from the Shen family!" Su Wenli shouted angrily and took out the token in his arms.

"This is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Do you want to die?"

When the leader saw the Su family token and heard Su Wenli's words, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

The customers in the store were so frightened that they huddled together and knelt down in panic.

Jiang Qingwu looked around and saw no sign of the shopkeeper, and instantly understood something.

They were fooled.

Su Wenli looked at the people in the store and grabbed a shop assistant, "Where is the shopkeeper?"

"No, I don't know. He was still here just now."

Su Wenli left the man behind and approached the patrolling guards, "Who told you to come here?"

"A child said that he saw the person on the wanted poster in the Anxiang Pavilion, so we hurried over here."

Seeing that Su Wenli and Jiang Qingwu failed, Gu Yanbai, who was standing not far behind them, was still leisurely playing the flute, and the first thing he said was sarcastic remarks.

"Look, you were so careless. You guys are so stupid that you actually let him escape right under your noses."

"Well, I told you, A-Chen is more important. Now you can come with me..."

Hearing Gu Yanbai's words, Jiang Qingwu became furious and turned around and grabbed Gu Yanbai's collar.

"If you hadn't been causing trouble, there's no way we could have let him escape."

"Okay, it's your business, I don't care."

Jiang Qingwu pushed Gu Yanbai away in frustration, turned around and strode away.

Looking at the two people who were leaving in a hurry, Gu Yanbai was tidying up his clothes that were messed up by Jiang Qingwu, and he chuckled and shook his head.

"This girl is so strong."

The smoke dissipated, Gu Yanbai looked around, and cautiously went to a nearby teahouse.

In the woodshed at the backyard of the teahouse, Gu Yanbai saw the owner of Anxiang Pavilion who was captured by Gu Ming.

With his hands tied and a cloth ball stuffed in his mouth, he knelt on the ground, watching Gu Yanbai whimpering.

Gu Yanbai looked at the other person slowly, lifted his robe, and sat on the chair.

"Why are you running? It's not as good as falling into Miss Jiang's hands if you fall into my hands."

Seeing this, Gu Ming bowed to Gu Yanbai and said, "Sir, this person didn't even inform Mr. Bai."

"And he also planned to plot against Jiang Qingwu and the others."

As he said that, Gu Ming took the cloth ball out of the shopkeeper's mouth.

"Tell me, how did you find the guy named Bai?" Gu Yanbai asked coldly.

The shopkeeper was sweating all over his forehead. He knelt on the ground and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Gu Ming suddenly drew out the sword in his hand.

When the shopkeeper heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed, he was so frightened that he spoke quickly.

"I said, I said, Mr. Bai lives in Nancun, on the outskirts of the city, at the east end of the village."

"There is a white carrier pigeon in the store. I communicate with him through it."

"Mr. Bai said that if a Fuye person comes with a token, he wants me to notify him by carrier pigeon."

"As for the rest, I don't know."

Gu Yanbai sighed softly, nodded and slowly stood up, "You are quite smart, so I won't embarrass you."

Having said that, Gu Yanbai turned around and walked out the door. He glanced at Gu Ming, and Gu Ming immediately swung his sword and killed the man with one blow.

When Gu Ming followed out, he saw Gu Yanbai was distracted and approached him cautiously.

"Son..."

Gu Yanbai came back to his senses, his eyes were cold and fierce, "Send people to Nancun to keep an eye on that man. I want to find the person behind him."

"Yes, sir, actually... we can ask Jiang Qingwu to help investigate. With her identity and power, she is the best helper."

Hearing the voice, Gu Yanbai glanced at Gu Ming coldly and walked slowly forward.

"Do you know that all my relatives are dead? Everyone related to me, except Yan Xiuchen, is dead."

"Even Jiang Qingwu lost his memory back then."

"It's all right that I want to know the truth, but now...how can I bear to let her take risks for me?"

Gu Ming looked at Gu Yanbai in a daze, and then he understood something.

"So, the young master said those words on purpose, and went to Jiang Qingwu to question him, and said that finding the truth and revenge are not important."

"You just don't want Miss Jiang to continue investigating and get involved?"

This was the only way he could do. If he told her directly that he didn't want her to investigate, she would not give up.

She had already killed Fuye's killer for him and might have gotten herself into trouble. How could he let her continue to take risks?

Gu Yanbai thought secretly and couldn't help but think of what Jiang Qingwu had said just now in Anxiang Pavilion.

Her shocked and helpless expression appeared in front of him, making Gu Yanbai sneer softly.

"This girl is becoming more and more interesting. She is quite good at being jealous."

……

"Jealous? Which eye of yours saw that I was jealous? I was so shocked, okay?"

After leaving Anxiang Pavilion, Jiang Qingwu inexplicably held his breath and drank softly.

I don’t know if it was because he was jealous or because the shopkeeper escaped and lost the clue.

Su Wenli, who was following behind, saw Jiang Qingwu's angry look and smiled secretly.

"You are just jealous, but I think you don't have to take it seriously."

"Gu Yanbai has had so many young ladies, how could he change his personality? As for Your Highness, you should know best."

"I think he's just playing a trick on you."

Jiang Qingwu suddenly stopped walking when he heard that, turned around and looked at Su Wenli with a sneer, "You don't understand, you..."

"You don't understand. The relationship between them seems... seems very deep."

"Deeper than... brothers."

"Even brothers don't have the subtle feeling between them."

"Maybe……"

Jiang Qingwu murmured, thinking about the past.

After all, she still had only a vague understanding of their past and feelings.

"Maybe what?" Su Wenli asked in a low voice.

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses and said with a wry smile, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. With what I know about their past now, I really shouldn't think too much about it."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu sighed softly and fell into thought.

"When Gu Yanbai was young and most lonely and helpless, he met a lifelong confidant, and was willing to sacrifice his life for him."

"How can Yan Xiuchen not remember this affection deeply?"

"Perhaps some tragedy beyond human control happened afterwards, forcing Yan Xiuchen to feel irreparable guilt towards his best brother."

"Perhaps, it is these coincidences and experiences that make the relationship between them better than that between brothers."

Su Wenli listened to Jiang Qingwu's words, thinking silently for a long time, until Jiang Qingwu reacted and stopped.

"Cousin, what are you thinking about?"

Su Wenli looked at Jiang Qingwu in a daze, then shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just think you seem to be looking in the wrong direction."

"what?"

"You want to know who wants to kill him, right? But... do you know who Gu Yanbai is now?"

"Who are your parents, where were you born, what did you go through..."

"In this vast world, there is no hatred without reason."

"If we knew his identity, wouldn't it be easier to find out who wanted to kill him?"
