With Gu's temperament, Tang Li thought that he would reject Gu Beiyue's suggestion, and Gu Beiyue was prepared to persuade him otherwise.
If Gu was the Palace Lord of Golden Wing Hall, then he would be able to help Tang Li in the Three-Way Black Market. At the very least, he would be able to find some clues about Deacon Jin.
Deacon Jin's East Valley Private Bank didn't only do business in Myriad Merchant Hall's casinos, but also in Golden Wing Hall and East Origin Hall's casinos. If Golden Wing Hall could provide assistance, Gu Beiyue didn't believe that the three major powers of the Three-Way Black Market wouldn't be able to find a single person even if they worked together.
Gu hesitated for a moment, but didn't refuse. He said to Gu Beiyue, "If you need any medicinal ingredients, feel free to contact the Medicine Ghost Valley. Also, I will send someone to help you find the Dragon Pill."
Ever since Gu Beiyue was severely injured by the two elders of the Chu Clan, his dantian had been damaged, and his inner strength had dissipated. No matter how much he cultivated, he couldn't gather Qi. Elder Kenzō had told Long Fei Ye that there was a medicine in this world called the Dragon Pill that could heal Gu Beiyue's injuries. However, Long Fei Ye still hadn't found this medicine. A few months ago, Long Fei Ye had sent Gu Beiyue a Phoenix Habitat Pill, which had allowed Gu Beiyue to recover twenty to thirty percent of his strength.
The Dragon Pill only existed in legends. Long Fei Ye had used all his resources, but still couldn't find any clues. Even though finding medicine was Gu's forte, if this medicine didn't exist in this world, how could he find it?
Gu Beiyue didn't have much hope, but he still bowed in thanks.
Gu glanced at him unhappily. "Why are you being so polite?"
Just like that, Tang Li sent a letter to Long Fei Ye informing him that Gu Beiyue had been rescued. At the same time, he sent a few elites to secretly escort Gu Beiyue to Hundred Poisons Sect. Gu stayed behind. After sending off Gu Beiyue, he went to Willow Flower Lane alone.
He was much better than Tang Li at the brothel!
If Mu Ling'er knew that her Qi Brother did not rush to find medicine for Han Yunxi but stayed to look for her, she would be so moved that she would burst into tears. However, at this moment, she was working hard for herself.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. Ning Jing and Mu Ling 'er were tied up in the carriage. Both of their legs were tied up. The two robbers were resting on a tree not far away.
The old man in black leaned against the tree trunk with his arms crossed and his eyes narrowed. The young man was lying on the overgrown tree trunk, his hands behind his head. His eyes were wide open. The moonlight that sifted through the canopy shone into his eyes, reflecting his many years of loneliness and wandering.
A homeless person would always have a ray of moonlight hidden in his heart. That was the bright moonlight that illuminated the mountains and rivers of his hometown.
"Old Cheng, shouldn't we ask for money from Myriad Merchant Hall?" he asked calmly.
Yes, he was Deacon Jin. The Deacon Jin who had been tricked by Ning Jing into losing everything, and then tricked by Mu Ling 'er into a huge debt.
That night, he had met Uncle Cheng in Willow Flower Lane. Uncle Cheng could not take out the money and wanted to kill him to silence him. Uncle Cheng had truly underestimated him. In a few moves, he had killed all the experts Uncle Cheng had brought and captured Uncle Cheng.
He had originally wanted to take Uncle Cheng to Myriad Merchant Hall to negotiate with Han Yunxi. However, Uncle Cheng had stopped him.
Han Yunxi was a woman who would not take even the slightest loss. If Han Yunxi knew that he had colluded with Uncle Cheng, he would not be able to get anything out of it. When the time came, he would not be able to pay back his debt. Perhaps he would even be sold off.
Uncle Cheng had helped him come up with an idea. He wanted him to kidnap Mu Ling 'er.
He had long wanted to settle the score with Mu Ling 'er. Unfortunately, Myriad Merchant Hall was heavily guarded, and he could not enter. However, with Uncle Cheng's help, it was easy for him and Uncle Cheng to sneak into Myriad Merchant Hall.
His target was Mu Ling 'er, but he had not expected that Uncle Cheng would kidnap Ning Jing as well. According to Uncle Cheng, kidnapping Ning Jing was to mislead the public.
Now, they were already far away from the Three-Way Black Market and were about to reach Northern Li. It was time to send out the blackmail.
Uncle Cheng laughed coldly. "Jin Zi, you don't understand Han Yunxi at all, do you?"
Deacon Jin immediately sat up. "What do you mean?"
"As far as I know, Han Yunxi was threatened by Bai Yanqing once. He even threatened her with Gu Beiyue's life," Uncle Cheng said calmly.
"What does that have to do with me? Tell her that if she still wants to see Mu Ling 'er, she should immediately help me pay off my debt to Kangan Bank, then use the indenture contract to redeem her! "Deacon Jin said Coldly.
"Jin Zi, you still don't know about the relationship between Han Yunxi and Manager Luo of Kangan Bank, right? Kangan Bank has already cooperated with Myriad Merchant Hall's casino. If Han Yunxi wants to fake a debt repayment, it's just a matter of saying a word! Moreover, you want her to use the indenture contract to redeem her. Aren't you afraid of her poison skills? "Uncle Cheng analyzed seriously.
"Mu Ling 'er is in my hands. I have a way to escape!" Deacon Jin said unhappily.
Uncle Cheng walked over and said in a low voice, "Deacon Jin, don't forget that Han Yunxi doesn't have the final say in the Di Clan. Ning Cheng is the true master!"
Deacon Jin suddenly said angrily, "Do you think I don't know that Ning Cheng's whereabouts are unknown?"
If Ning Cheng was here, he wouldn't have fallen into Han Yunxi's hands! It was Ning Cheng who had asked him to put Mu Ling 'er under house arrest.
Uncle Cheng carefully took out a letter from his sleeve. Deacon Jin glanced at the handwriting on the letter and was shocked. If that wasn't Ning Cheng's handwriting, then what could it be?
"You have Ning Cheng's whereabouts? What's going on? "Deacon Jin asked anxiously.
Although he and Ning Cheng were both friends and enemies, their friendship was more important than their hostility. He believed that Ning Cheng wouldn't sit idly by and do nothing about his fate today.
"Just come with me. I guarantee that you'll definitely be able to see Master Ning. As for whether Master Ning will help you or not, that will depend on your friendship. "Uncle Cheng said with a smile.
Deacon Jin realized that he had been tricked by Uncle Cheng. It turned out that Uncle Cheng had asked him to kidnap Mu Ling 'er and Ning Jing not to extort Han Yunxi, but to have other motives.
What was the relationship between the Di Clan and Han Yunxi, the Western Qin princess? Ning Cheng was so loyal, but why did he treat Han Yunxi's younger sister Mu Ling 'er like this?
He couldn't care less about Western Qin's domestic affairs, nor was he interested. He only wanted to repay his debt and regain his freedom.
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Deacon Jin readily agreed.
Uncle Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he came up with the idea of kidnapping, he was forced into a corner. Originally, he only wanted to make things difficult for Han Yunxi. Who knew that he would fall deeper and deeper, placing himself in the position of a "traitor".
If he had temporarily deceived Deacon Jin and let Han Yunxi have something on him, his fate would have been unimaginable.
He hadn't thought about what to do next. However, he hadn't gone far from the Three-Way Black Market when his confidant delivered Ning Cheng's secret letter.
This letter saved him and also pointed out a path for him!
Ning Cheng's eyes were injured by Han Yunxi, but the letter said that he was fine in Northern Li. He couldn't help but suspect that Ning Cheng and Jun Yi Xie were working together.
No matter what the truth was, this trip to Northern Li was a good opportunity to persuade Ning Cheng. He had already told Ning Cheng that Han Yunxi didn't deserve to be Western Qin's princess, and even more so, she didn't deserve the Di Clan's loyalty.
With Ning Cheng's ability and military strength, if he cooperated with Jun Yi Xie, it would be enough to contend with Long Fei Ye. At least, they could get half the world. Why should he be foolishly loyal to Western Qin and be beaten black and blue by Han Yunxi?
Thinking of this, Uncle Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he knew Ning Cheng's whereabouts. Otherwise, he would be the only traitor in the history of the Di Clan!
Just as the two of them were talking, Mu Ling'er suddenly shouted from the carriage, "Someone come! Someone come! "
As soon as she shouted, Deacon Jin immediately looked over. Uncle Cheng heard it but didn't pay much attention.
"What's wrong with her now?" Deacon Jin asked impatiently.
"Don't worry about her. She'll stop shouting when she's tired." Uncle Cheng planned to ignore her.
Deacon Jin didn't say anything and got up to go over. Uncle Cheng immediately stopped him. "I'll go! See how I deal with her! "
"She's a woman after all, and a pregnant one at that. You should restrain yourself. "Deacon Jin said indifferently.
"Hehe, Jin Zi, when did you become so soft-hearted? You're in this state today because of that stinky girl! "Uncle Cheng laughed.
"That stinky girl is worth more than Ning Jing. I'm only giving face for the sake of money." Deacon Jin lay back down.
Uncle Cheng shrugged and strode towards the carriage.
Who knew that as soon as he arrived, Mu Ling'er would shout that she wanted to use the outhouse.
"Take care of it yourself in the carriage. Don't play tricks with me!" Uncle Cheng said Coldly.
"I'm not going to the outhouse. It's … Aiya, hurry up and take me down. I can't hold it in anymore! You're a man. Don't tell me you can't control a woman like me. "Mu Ling'er said and immediately changed her words." No, you can't look! Aiya, I'm begging you. I'll take care of it in the bushes at the side! Even if I run away, you can still chase after me, right? "
Mu Ling'er clutched her stomach. She was so anxious that her facial features were all squeezed together.
"Alright, alright!" Uncle Cheng helped Mu Ling'er untie her feet and let her get off the carriage.
Mu Ling'er looked like she couldn't hold it in any longer. She quickly ran into the bushes. Uncle Cheng shouted, "Don't run too far!"
Very quickly, Mu Ling'er squatted down in the bushes, only revealing her head. Uncle Cheng glanced at her and waited by the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Ning Jing was filled with anxiety. She only hoped that everything would go smoothly on Mu Ling'er's side. She and Mu Ling'er tore their handkerchiefs and inner linings of their dresses into strips. They bit their fingers and used their blood to write a cry for help.
Mu Ling'er had already peeked in the carriage earlier. There were many herbs on both sides of the road, and there were signs that they had been picked. As long as they hid the strips of cloth beside the herbs, they would definitely be seen by the people picking the herbs.
Mu Ling'er seemed to have picked a random spot, but she had actually picked a spot with the most herbs.
Uncle Cheng waited for a moment and urged, "Are you done?"
Mu Ling'er didn't dare to delay. She hurriedly tied the strips of cloth to the roots of the herbs and hurried back.
"Thank you," she said politely. She didn't show any signs of panic when faced with Uncle Cheng's scrutiny.
Uncle Cheng sized her up and didn't find anything strange. He said Coldly, "Get in the carriage."
Mu Ling'er heaved a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, when she got in the carriage, Uncle Cheng's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a torn corner of her dress.
"Wait!" Uncle Cheng said angrily.
Mu Ling'er's heart raced, but she still tried very hard to calm herself down. She got out of the carriage and asked, "What's the matter?"
Uncle Cheng suddenly grabbed her and strode into the bushes. Mu Ling'er knew that she couldn't escape, so she lowered her eyes and let Uncle Cheng pull her.
Soon, Uncle Cheng saw the strips of cloth tied to the herbs. He untied one strip and took a look. He was instantly furious.
"Good, you brat. You're so smart!"
Uncle Cheng threw away the strip of cloth and suddenly grabbed Mu Ling'er's hair …
