She ran to marry him of her own accord, and the moment she married him, she had already tied Prince Heng's Mansion and the General Zhenguo's Mansion together.

She knew this kind of torture; Gu Xingyan had suffered it countless times in her previous life.

But in this life, she didn't want him to endure it again.

Master Sanqing stroked his white beard, avoided the topic, took out a book from his arms and handed it to Li Shuangwan.

"Since you call me Master, I don't have much to teach you. This book contains my life's accumulation. Take it."

Li Shuangwan took it with doubt, opened it, and after being overjoyed, he was shocked.

The master was respected as "Master" by the five countries in the world, and it was not a false reputation. Now, he gave her everything without reservation.

Li Shuangwan's eyes were slightly red, and he bowed to Master Sanqing: "Master, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"But you haven't told me the whereabouts of the last medicine, Master. Please tell me."

Even if she has to go through fire and water, she will get it.

Then Master Sanqing smiled and said, "This medicine can only be found by chance, not by seeking. It cannot be sought."

Without waiting for Li Shuangwan to understand, he turned and left: "After five days of rest, go back."

Li Shuangwan returned to the house and had no time to rest. She immediately wrote a letter to Chen Ping, telling him that she had obtained the Blue Moon Spirit Sophora japonica and asked him to find out the whereabouts of the Netherworld Ghost Sunflower.

Once he knows the whereabouts of the medicine, he must not act on his own and must inform her.

This medicine is so strange that it might be difficult for Chen Ping to get it alone.

She had to go get it herself.

The letter was written and tied to a carrier pigeon. By the time Li Shuangwan had finished packing, it was already dawn.

In two days, they would have to set off back to Sijiu City and write the name "Shu Yanyan" in the Shu family tree, making her a legitimate member of the Shu family in Daliang.

Thinking of this, Li Shuangwan fell asleep on the table.

During these five days, Master Sanqing has not appeared.

Li Shuangwan also understood that there are many things in this world that cannot be forced.

……

At this moment, in Sijiu City, five hundred miles away, Gu Xingyan had just set out with his army for less than half an hour when the commander of the Yongwei Camp, Fu Sheng, appeared in the study of Prince Chen's Mansion.

Chen Tinghua's son, the civil official Chen Shihui, was also there at the moment, waiting for news from Fu Sheng.

At this moment, the butler came to report that General Fu had arrived, and he immediately invited him over.

Fu Sheng entered the study room and saw the three of them were there. He held up a finger and said, "Gu Xingyan only used one move and recovered 60,000 troops in less than an hour. The army is now heading towards Yongzhou."

When these words were spoken, several people stood up in shock.

Gu Xingyuan was stunned and asked, "Are you sure that Gu Xingyan only used one move?"

Fu Sheng's face was very solemn. When Gu Xingyan was teaching the Bull Egg move, he was standing on the watchtower above and saw the whole process clearly. He knew that He Si was bound to lose.

"Yes, I saw it clearly, and he only used one move. Your Highness, General, Lord Chen, Gu Xingyan is a man that should not be underestimated. We really need to find out where he has been during the twenty-one years he disappeared."

What he didn't say was that if they were kept in the dark, they would not know how they, who were all tied to the same rope, would die in the end. Gu Xingyan was too powerful.

Gu Xingyuan paced back and forth in the study room and slammed his fist on the desk. "Fu Sheng, I order you to find out where Gu Xingyan has been for the past 21 years and who his teacher is, no matter what the cost, even if you have to dig deep into the ground!"

No matter what kind of sect or organization that place is, or what kind of hermit master it is, if anyone dares to ruin his plans, he will definitely wipe them out!

"Yes!" Fu Sheng took the order and left.

"What do you think? Could it be that Ou Jianglin had been hiding them somewhere, and when the late emperor passed away suddenly and Gu Xingcheng and Shu were trapped, he secretly brought them back?" Chen Tinghua looked at Gu Xingyuan, and then at his son who had a lot of tricks in his head.

Chen Shihui picked up the tea and took a sip. He was born prematurely in the womb and was weak. His face was paler than that of ordinary people. He had been in a semi-comatose state for the past few days and only woke up yesterday afternoon.

He coughed softly and shook his head, "No. Your Highness, Father, do you still remember how Ou Jianglin looked when he returned to Sijiu City from other places ten years ago?"

He found it extremely strange, so he secretly ordered someone to investigate.

Chen Tinghua thought for a moment and nodded, "I remember it very clearly. It was just after the court session ended. When I left the palace, I saw him fall off his horse. At the time, Ou Jianglin was only in his thirties, but he looked like an old man in his fifties, with an untidy beard and tattered clothes. If General Liang hadn't recognized him, we would have thought he was a beggar."

Gu Xingyuan also said, "Yes, I remember it too. Because the morning court had just ended, many ministers left the palace. When they heard General Liang shout "It's Master Ou", many people rushed over. General Liang picked him up and gave him some water. He slowly woke up. After waking up, he didn't say anything, but pushed everyone aside and stumbled into the palace."

Gu Xingyuan looked at Chen Shihui. It happened more than ten years ago. Why did his uncle bring it up again? "What does your uncle mean?"

Chen Shihui gently stroked the rim of the cup and looked at the two people in front of him: "Your Highness, do you know whether Ou Jianglin went to see the late emperor first after entering the palace, or went to Kunning Palace to see Empress Shu first?"

Gu Xingyuan was startled: "I didn't notice this."

Ou Jianglin had been out looking for medicine and famous doctors for that half-dead ghost Gu Xingcheng. He didn't care who Gu Xingcheng met first when he entered the palace.

Chen Shihui smiled faintly: "I know."

Gu Xingyuan and Chen Tinghua looked at each other and said, "Uncle, please speak."

"I thought the situation was very strange, so I asked Song Yafeng, who was on duty in the palace, the next day."

"He said that he saw with his own eyes that Ou Jianglin went to see Empress Shu first, and then went to see the late emperor after coming out of Kunning Palace. He stayed in Kunning Palace for a full hour. When he came out, although he was still in tattered clothes, he was half-supporting his knees and his eyes were red."

Gu Xingyuan was shocked: "Uncle, what you mean is that Ou Jianglin not only cried during the hour he was in Kunning Palace, but he was also very likely kneeling the whole time?"

Chen Shihui nodded: "Your Highness, Father, what kind of thing could have caused Ou Jianglin, the Prince's tutor, to kneel for an hour and cry like that?"

"You should know that Ou Jianglin is deeply trusted by our current Empress Dowager Shu. When Gu Xingcheng was three years old, he became his disciple. When he was six years old, Gu Xingcheng was canonized as the crown prince. At that time, Ou Jianglin, who was only in his twenties, was appointed as the first-rank crown prince's tutor. Not to mention, the Ou family and the Shu family are close friends."

Chen Shihui spoke slowly and steadily.
