As Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi traveled north, Medical City and Medicine City sent them a lot of medicine. After receiving Long Fei Ye's letter, the King Of Medicine from Medicine Hut also sent the best ointment from Medicine Hut.
The most effective ointment in the world had already been used by Gu Beiyue. The medicine they sent couldn't heal Han Yunxi in a day or two, but it would more or less shorten the duration of her illness.
If Han Yunxi took medicine on time every day and didn't suffer a second injury, she could basically recover in about a month.
Although this trip was important, Long Fei Ye still put Han Yunxi's injuries first. Along the way, he didn't forget to eat three meals. He also didn't travel day and night like before, finding an inn to spend the night almost every day.
That night, they arrived at the county town very late and checked into an inn. Long Fei Ye carried Han Yunxi out of the carriage. Xu Donglin pushed the wheelchair over, only to discover that Han Yunxi had already fallen asleep.
"No need," Long Fei Ye said indifferently.
Xu Donglin hurriedly led the way. Baili Mingxiang watched them from behind for a long time before following.
His Highness and the princess didn't have any servant girls by their side. Only Xu Donglin accompanied them, but Xu Donglin was a man, so it wasn't convenient. The princess's legs were also inconvenient, so His Highness had to personally attend to many things.
Along the way, she was impulsive several times and wanted to volunteer herself, but in the end, she didn't dare to say a word.
When Baili Mingxiang went upstairs, Xu Donglin was passing by with water. She hesitated for a while before opening her mouth. "Bodyguard Xu, how about I do it?"
"His Highness said that there's no need to wait on her. I'll just bring the water in. Miss Mingxiang, you should rest early. "Xu Donglin left after speaking.
Baili Mingxiang gritted her teeth and silently left. How could she rest? Along the way, there wasn't a single good night's sleep.
In the middle of the night, after tossing and turning in bed for a long time, she finally got up and stood by the railing outside the door, staring blankly at the starry sky above the courtyard. After a while, she still couldn't help but turn her head and look at the tightly shut door.
She thought, His Highness and the Princess must be asleep, right?
Just like that, Baili Mingxiang stood outside the door for the whole night. No one knew what he was thinking.
In fact, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi did not sleep. These days, Long Fei Ye would transfer internal energy to Han Yunxi from time to time. With the strengthening of her inner strength, Han Yunxi began to learn how to use her inner strength. Every time Long Fei Ye transferred his inner strength to her, she would need a period of time to recover.
Just like that, Han Yunxi, who was known to be a good-for-nothing in martial arts, had quietly become a martial arts expert.
The next day, just as she was about to leave the inn, the Shadow Guard delivered Gu's reply.
Under Long Fei Ye's gaze, Han Yunxi opened the letter. Gu replied, "No matter what, I will complete the task. Bai Yuqiao has yet to confess. If there is any progress, I will contact you again."
This reply was within Han Yunxi's expectations, so she didn't think much of it. Long Fei Ye glanced at it expressionlessly and didn't comment.
"Don't worry. Although he won't help you, he won't ruin your plans either." Han Yunxi smiled.
Long Fei Ye snorted softly, but didn't say anything else.
Han Yunxi had asked Gu to interrogate Bai Yuqiao in order to find Gu Beiyue, not to get involved in the struggle between Eastern, Western Qin, and Bai Yanqing.
Han Yunxi only hoped that Bai Yuqiao would quickly confess and reveal Gu Beiyue's whereabouts. When the time came, she and Long Fei Ye would lead Bai Yanqing to the Black Tower and lure the tiger away from the mountain so that Gu could save Gu Beiyue.
Han Yunxi was about to reply to Gu when Long Fei Ye stopped her. "Don't reveal his whereabouts. After all, he is with Ning Cheng."
Han Yunxi thought about it and felt that he was right. If they could avoid correspondence, they should avoid it. After all, it wasn't absolutely safe to send letters by goshawk.
After leaving the inn, they continued to head north.
Han Yunxi and the rest had only been gone for about ten days, but Ning Cheng and Gu had already arrived at the Three-Way Black Market. At this time, they stopped at the entrance of the Three-Way Black Market.
Ning Cheng wanted to continue walking, but Gu stopped him. "Bai Yuqiao, it's only half a day's journey from here to the Black Tower, right?"
"Yes, if we're fast, it won't even take half a day." Bai Yuqiao answered truthfully, a complicated look flashing past his eyes.
The Three-Way Black Market was not only close to the Black Tower, but also to the Three-Way Battlefield! After the Three-Way Battlefield, they would be in Northern Li territory. She had steeled her heart to betray her master, but that didn't mean that she had steeled her heart to rely on Ning Cheng.
She was constantly worried about her senior brother Jun Yi Xie. When they arrived at the Three-Way Black Market, her worry grew, and she subconsciously thought of escaping. She thought that as long as she could escape to Northern Li, it would be easy to contact her senior brother. Most of Northern Li's southern regions were under her senior brother's control.
"Bai Yuqiao, is your master in the Black Tower right now?" Gu asked next.
"I can't be sure, but I promise that even if master isn't here, I'll definitely lure him to the Black Tower!" Bai Yuqiao vowed.
"Then we'll stop at the Three-Way Black Market and scout out the situation first before making further plans." Gu shrugged his shoulders and looked towards Ning Cheng with a grin. "We're already at the entrance. Shouldn't Master Ning do his part as a host?"
The Three-Way Black Market had a long history and a complicated network of powers. It was much more complicated than Tianning's Black Market. Cloud Realm Trade Consortium didn't have much power in Tianning's black markets, but they were definitely half a master in the Three-Way Battlefield. That was because the consortium was backed by the Di Clan, a merchant clan with as long a history as the Three-Way Black Market.
Ning Cheng's face was expressionless as he said, "Please."
Not just anyone could enter the Three-Way Black Market, especially. It required proof of identity and qualifications, as well as multiple inspections. But with Ning Cheng leading the way, Gu's group used a secret passage that allowed them to pass unobstructed.
Mu Ling 'er and Bai Yuqiao both knew of the Three-Way Black Market's existence, but Mu Ling' er wasn't interested. Bai Yuqiao, on the other hand, couldn't help but sigh in amazement the entire way. She didn't know much about the Di Clan, but never expected them to have such deep pockets and influence among the people.
She couldn't help but glance up at Ning Cheng, only to see him as lofty as a mountain. He was cold and noble, but held so much power in his hands despite his young age. She couldn't help but compare Ning Cheng to her senior brother. If senior brother hadn't been tricked by master, he could be like Ning Cheng or Long Fei Ye, holding great power and holding his own.
Although the Three-Way Black Market was Cloud Realm Continent's largest black market, "largest" didn't refer to the area it occupied, but the volume of transactions it made. A single day's worth of goods traded here was worth ten days' worth of revenue for an entire prefecture. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that its wealth rivaled that of a nation.
Ning Cheng settled Gu's group in Cloud Realm Trade Consortium's headquarters, the most luxurious palace in the Three-Way Black Market.
Bai Yuqiao was quickly locked up by the guards, while Gu and Mu Ling 'er stayed next door. As soon as Ning Cheng left, Mu Ling 'er immediately went to find Gu.
"Qi Brother, why did you come here? This is Ning Cheng's territory! "Mu Ling 'er murmured.
Gu Qishao was currently lying comfortably on the soft chaise lounge, his eyes closed as he rested. Rushing all the way here had tired him to death.
"Qi Brother …"
Mu Ling 'er tugged at his sleeve as Gu elegantly extended a hand in front of Mu Ling' er. "Help give Qi Brother a massage."
Mu Ling 'er didn't have the courage to refuse, but happily took his hand and began to massage it gently. Still, she didn't forget to remind him, "Qi Brother, this is Ning Cheng's territory."
"What's wrong with his territory?" Gu asked lazily.
Mu Ling 'er didn't know how to answer, so she thought for a while before saying, "Qi Brother, are you suspecting Ning Cheng of something?"
Gu's eyes widened. "Even you can tell?"
He had long suspected Ning Cheng. If even Mu Ling 'er, this stupid girl, could tell, then wouldn't Ning Cheng have long seen through it?
Mu Ling 'er said seriously, "Qi Brother, I saw through it long ago, but Ning Cheng probably didn't. Because Ning Cheng doesn't understand you, but I do. "
Gu raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Ling 'er, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "What do you understand about me?"
Mu Ling 'er couldn't give a specific answer. "Anyway, I just understand you. I guarantee that you must be suspecting Ning Cheng of something, right?"
Gu gestured for Mu Ling 'er to come closer with his finger. Mu Ling' er immediately moved closer, so close that Gu had no choice but to step back a little to put some distance between them.
He said in a low voice, "Girl, since you've seen through it, you should continue acting. If you let the cat out of the bag and ruin Qi Brother's plans … Haha. "
Gu laughed dryly and warned, "Qi Brother isn't done with you!"
Unexpectedly, Mu Ling 'er giggled. "Ling' er just wants to be done with Qi Brother. I won't be done with him for the rest of my life."
Gu was instantly stunned. Mu Ling 'er saw that he was stunned and her smile immediately froze. She then realized that she had been too happy and said what was on her mind.
Gu quickly came back to his senses and laughed. "Good, you've learned how to tease people. Haha, looks like your sister doesn't have to worry about you not being able to get married. "
Looking at Qi Brother's flirtatious smile and bright smiling eyes, Mu Ling 'er almost couldn't help but blurt out, "Ling' er won't marry anyone else but Qi Brother."
However, she didn't say it in the end. It wasn't that she didn't dare to say it, but she was afraid … Afraid that if she said it, it would give him a clear reason to reject her.
Many people didn't dare to express their love, not because they didn't have the courage to pursue it, but because they were afraid that they would lose all opportunities.
Qi Brother, Ling 'er will wait for you to grow old, wait for you to be unable to run, wait for no one to want you, wait for you to die! Ling 'er must live well and live for 15 minutes longer than you do. We can't be together when we're alive, but we must be together when we die!
Qi Brother, Ling 'er doesn't even know how much I love you.
Pain and happiness were hidden in her heart. Mu Ling 'er was still smiling. She had already learned to smile like Gu and could smile brightly at any time.
"Qi Brother, what do you suspect about Ning Cheng? Did he bully my sister? "Mu Ling 'er asked.
Gu said in a low voice, "That letter is a lie."
"How can that be?" Mu Ling 'er was shocked.
"Poison Girl told us to interrogate Bai Yuqiao and try to rescue Gu Beiyue. She didn't ask us to help Ning Cheng deal with Bai Yanqing, "Gu said seriously.
Gu was always laughing and joking, but he was very careful and shrewd. Even the slightest clue couldn't escape his eyes.
If Han Yunxi hadn't told him and Mu Ling 'er in private, then Ning Cheng's forged letter would have fooled him. However, Han Yunxi had already told him and Mu Ling 'er. How could Ning Cheng hide it from him when he didn't know the situation?
Han Yunxi was most concerned about Gu Beiyue. The letter mentioned three things, but it didn't mention Gu Beiyue. Instead, it emphasized that they should help Ning Cheng find Bai Yanqing.
If this wasn't forged, then what was it?
