"Master, is this your golden lock?" Qing Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and held the golden lock next to Gu Feiwan's hand:

"Fortunately, it was the maid who took over. If the young lady had taken it herself, wouldn't it have stretched her waist?"

Gu Shian raised his eyes and said, "It's just two kilograms of gold. It won't tire her out!"

Gu Feiwan curiously went to pick up the gold lock, and it was indeed terribly heavy!

"The baby is still young and can't wear such a heavy gold lock." Gu Feiwan was a little amused.

"If you can't wear it, just save it. The baby of the Gu family should like gold!" Gu Shian said confidently.

"Master Shi'an is right. Not only the baby of the Gu family likes gold, but every person likes gold!" Qingshuang said with a smile.

"You two girls, take good care of your daughter, I will reward you handsomely!" Gu Shian waved his hand, and two bulging money bags appeared on the table.

Qinglin and Qingshuang were not polite either. They took the purse with a smile and said, "Master Shi'an is so generous. Thank you for the reward!"

"Where's mine?" A man was hanging at the door, frowning and stretching out his hand.

"Your stuff is different from theirs!" Gu Shian stood up and pulled something out from his waist.

This is a dagger. The outer cowhide scabbard is pure white and has a coiled snake carved on it. The snake's eyes are two small and transparent rubies. Under the refraction of light, the white snake's face looks gloomy, as if it is staring at people coldly!

Ahri jumped down from the door frame and grabbed the dagger in his hand: "Good stuff!"

She gripped the handle and gently pulled out the dagger. A bright white light shone so brightly that it hurt her eyes!

"Is this poisonous?" Ahri muttered to himself, and sniffed it.

"A poison that cuts the throat with one blow!"

Gu Feiwan immediately became nervous when he heard this: "Ali is still young, why did my second brother give her this thing?"

Gu Shian waved his hand, signaling Gu Feiwan to be patient!

Ahri was seen playing with the dagger, spinning it faster and faster. The small dagger was like an ice-carved flower, blooming in her hand!

"This dagger seems to know me!" Ahri shouted excitedly.

Gu Feiwan was afraid that she might hurt herself by mistake, so he quickly advised her, "Just play for a while, put it away quickly!"

"Madam, look, it likes me. It's so happy now!" Ahri held up the dagger, happier than ever before.

"Then give it a name." Gu Shian suggested.

"Hmm!" Ahri looked at the dagger carefully and said, "Let's call it Spirit Snake. I usually call it 'Little Spirit'!"

"It's a good name!" Gu Shian smiled slightly, but Gu Feiwan always felt that he seemed to have some hidden meaning.

"Second brother, this dagger..."

"Don't worry, sister. This dagger can't hurt Ali." Gu Shian comforted Gu Feiwan, then turned to Ali and said, "I gave you this great gift today. You have to do something for me."

Ahri carefully put away the dagger, repeatedly confirmed that it would not be lost, and then raised his head and said: "Don't worry, isn't it just to protect the lady? This is my job!"

"I want you to promise that from now on, you will personally check every bite that Fei Wan eats. When the baby is born, you will stay with him and protect him until I find someone else to replace you."

Gu Shian spoke very seriously, which made Gu Feiwan frown. She vaguely felt that there seemed to be some crisis around her.

Ali tilted his head and looked at Gu Shian for a while, his eyes were hazy and clear.

After a while, there were two "bang bang" sounds, and Ali hit his head. The noise was so loud that Qinglin was startled: "Kid, are you hitting a winter melon?"

"Don't worry, if you find the spirit snake for me, I will take good care of her and her mother until you come back." Ali shook his head and blurted out these words.

Gu Shian quickly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "Words are not enough, let's make a written agreement!"

Gu Feiwan was stunned: "Second brother, no need?"

"Don't worry about it!" Gu Shian stared at Ali: "Let's sign a document!"

"You don't believe me?" Ahri raised her eyes wide, her self-esteem hurt!

"I believe in you now, but I'm not sure about you in the future!"

"I don't understand what you're saying." Ahri was a little unhappy: "We are the heroes of the Jianghu. We value keeping our promises. When did we need to sign these useless documents?"

Gu Shian put down the paper and stretched out his hand: "Give me back the snake!"

"You!" Ah Li was so angry that he jumped up and down: "No wonder the general said that you scholars are the most hypocritical!"

Gu Shian continued to stretch out his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Did he really say that?"

"Of course!" Seeing that this sentence would make Gu Shian unhappy, Ali immediately added two more sentences:

"The general also said that it is difficult to explain the truth to you scholars!"

"The general also said that scholars are all mean people with sweet words but vicious hearts!"

Outside the city, Ning Weizhou felt goose bumps on his back for no apparent reason. He looked up at the sky. The sun was high in the sky and the mountain breeze was gentle. It was the perfect time of year when spring flowers were in full bloom!

Two days later, Gu Shian boarded the carriage bound for Jiangnan with peace of mind.

Except for a coachman and a servant, Gu Shian didn't bring anyone with him.

Gu Feiwan was worried and insisted on going back to the General's Mansion to pick a few people to escort him.

"Sister, this man can defeat a hundred people!" Gu Shian pointed at the driver.

The driver sat on the shaft of the cart. He was short and thin, but his hands were incredibly large. When he saw Gu Feiwan looking at him, he grinned foolishly, revealing a smile with two missing front teeth.

Gu Feiwan bowed solemnly and said, "Second brother, I'll leave it to you!"

The driver nodded and touched his waist, where a large broadsword was hanging.

Another day passed, and the capital was still asleep when the sound of galloping horses knocked on the city gate!

Prince Dun died in battle!

When the news came out, the whole court was in an uproar!

Everyone knows that Prince Dun went out of the city to suppress bandits just to avoid his marriage with the Xian princess. With Ning Weizhou by his side, how could anything go wrong?

When the emperor heard the news, he didn't even attend the morning court. If the empress hadn't stopped him, he would have left the palace to see for himself what was going on!

It was just an ordinary bandit problem, not an attack by a huge army.

A prince and a general have already passed away. If another emperor passes away, I’m afraid that all the ancestors of the Wu royal family will crawl out of their mausoleums and curse us!

Prince Rong had already packed his luggage and was preparing to leave Beijing for another trip, but when he heard the news, he took the initiative to go to the palace to ask for permission to go out of the city to investigate.

The emperor naturally agreed quickly, and by the evening, the news had spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

"What? Prince Dun is dead?" Inside the post station, the Xian princess was furious:

"Impossible! He is a general who has been on the battlefield. He is not a fool who has no ability to protect himself. How could he die so easily?"

"Princess, don't worry. I will go out of the city to find out the news!" said the accompanying guard.

"Ning Weizhou surrounded the post station like an iron barrel. We tried to find a way out every day, but those people seemed to have eyes all over their bodies, and they were ruthless. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been trapped here for so long!"

The Xian princess was very angry and slammed the wooden table!

"Someone came to report today that the guards in the southeast corner seemed to be unwell and left frequently. Although it was only for a short while, with my subordinates' skills, it was enough for us to find an opportunity to leave!"
