"Miss Qing Qing, you cannot speak carelessly."
Meng Xu obviously didn't believe it. Although Gu Qing Yan was different from the others, what kind of place was Sky Yan City? If someone without some background were to go there, they would only end up becoming a chess piece.
"I'm serious." Gu Danyan picked up another of his notes on water treatment and said in a low voice: "As long as you hand this book over to the Imperial Court, I will promise you your position."
She was currently the consort of Crown Prince Jing, but there would be a day when she would break all ties with Duan Chengxuan. Even the Prime Minister's Estate was not the best choice.
She already believed in Gu Yan's strength, but as for the civil servants, she felt that Meng Xu was a good candidate. Once her foundation was firmly established, the world would be at her mercy.
Meng Xu was stunned. With a frown, he asked, "May I ask who this lady is?"
"He's just a smart person. You and I are fated to be able to benefit the common people. I want you to climb up to the position of an official and protect my safety. Are you satisfied with this kind of deal?" Gu Danyan walked in front of him with a serious face, "With your talent, this town will only be a worn-out birdcage to you. You should spread your wings and soar through the vast lands."
Gu Liuyan's voice was calm, but what he said made Meng Xu feel a bit ambitious.
"I don't believe you."
"But I believe you." Gu Danyan smiled and took out another notebook, which was about how to flatten the country, not how to flatten the world. Although some of the ideas in it were still crude, but in Gu Mingyan's eyes, they had already advanced a lot compared to the people now. He continued: "If I tell you my identity, if anyone hears, the mirage people will come again, I can't implicate you."
Meng Xu frowned. "Can you really help me get on the road to becoming a official?"
"Yes, you have the ability to do so, but in terms of relationships, I will help you. You just need to remember that after you ascend to the throne, you will serve the country and the people. As a pure and honest official, I will protect you." Gu Liuyan said as he stood beside Meng Xu.
After writing down a letter and writing down a single word, he continued, "If you take the top scholar or scout flower in the Imperial Examinations in the future, you can send this letter to the Residence of Prince Jing."
At this point, Meng Xu still didn't believe him and just kept the goods.
Seeing him accept it, Gu Daiyan felt relieved. He didn't expect to find such a great scholar in this strange place. It wasn't bad.
After dinner, Meng Xu mentioned that he would rush to the Sky Flame exam after he recovered.
"Of course it's good!" Master Meng laughed heartily. His eyes were slightly wet as he looked at Gu Daiyan beside him, "Thank you for taking care of me, Miss Qing. I will definitely send someone to keep an eye on him and take the prescription for the next three months. "Next spring, we'll let him go to the Heavenly Flame."
"Master Meng, you don't have to be so polite. I will be going to Ling Nan in a few days. Please give me some money."
"The charity isn't really right. My eldest son will have a caravan pass by here in four days. He just wants you to take them to Lingnan. If there's anything else you want, you can just tell me." Master Meng said while patting his chest.
Gu Danyan only bought a small medicine box and did a lot of research. He filled it up and found some herbs for the hospital and made a medicine pillow for Madam Meng.
Seeing that three days had passed, Master Meng wanted to match the two of them. However, Meng Xu could only helplessly say, "She and I are husband and wife. How about we become intimate friends and get married together? Let's wait until I become famous."
If not, how could he be worthy of Gu Danyan's intelligence?
He did not speak his mind.
When Gu Liuyan left that day, Meng Xu had just prepared a plate of pastries for her, "If we meet again, we'll be in Sky Fire City."
"Right." Gu Danyan sat beside the cart of merchants. The wounds on her body, other than the ones on her shoulder and wrist, were already scabbed. On the way, she should take a good rest.
"Be careful."
"Thank you for your blessings." Gu Mingyan mimicked Jiang Hu's gesture and cupped her hands. The caravan that had stopped for a while left with her, heading towards Ling Nan.
It was the rising sun. Gu Daiyan was sitting on the cart and shaking. However, the merchant told her: "Ling Nan is in chaos. If the lady arrives at Ling Nan, it would be better for her to not show herself."
"What happened in Lingnan?" Gu Danyan asked as he held his bag.
Now, all that was left was a single Cyan Frost Sword. It is said that this pair of Cyan Sword was a treasured sword that was used during the founding of Navy Tide Nation, and it was said that it was used to kill countless people in the chaos of war. In order to eliminate the evil spirits, it was used the Azure Frost of the extreme northern lands to seal them up. The words of the bystanders were extremely mysterious.
Gu Danyan's eyes lit up. She had never seen such a magnificent sight before and yearned to see it.
At the same time, in the Misty Rain Pavilion in Sky Flame City, he finally received a letter from Gu Liuyan.
Qi Rou opened the letter and immediately knew that it was from Gu Tinyan. She then rushed to the entrance of Prince Jing's mansion to inform him.
"The Prince has said that in the past few days, he would have to thank his guest in private. Second Miss Qi should return." The butler glanced at Qi Rou before closing the door.
Qi Rou's expression turned cold. She didn't expect Gu Xuan to be missing. Not only did Duan Chengxuan not send anyone to look for him, he even closed the door and refused to let anyone who wanted to come knocking.
With a sneer, she returned to the fourth prince's residence.
Unfortunately, after finally entering the Fourth Prince's mansion, he didn't see anyone from there. Only Litchi came to Qi Rou, "The Fourth Prince went to the palace today to look for his mufei. Is there something important for Second Miss Qi?"
"It's Princess Jing who sent the news, while the Residence of Prince Jing is thanking the guests with closed doors …"
"Didn't they say that Princess Jing went to Ling Nan Yun's house?" Naturally, there's no need to worry. " Litchi Bay strangely interrupted her. He only poured a cup of tea for Qi Rou and continued, "Besides, that's what Prime Minister Gu said."
"Earlier, you were jealous that the fourth prince and Crown Princess Jing were very close, so you didn't mention the fallen timber before the wedding. Now, you want to pretend that you don't know so that the fourth prince won't be able to go early, right?" Qi Rou said as she raised her eyes.
Litchi's face sank, her expression changed, "I don't understand Second Miss Qi's words. Someone, send the guests off."
Once again, she was rejected from the entrance. However, Qi Rou was completely unworthy of Gu Xuan. In the end, she could only use Misty Rain Pavilion's men to search for her.
She had written two letters in succession that night and sent them to the Jing King Manor and the fourth prince's residence, while she herself went to the medicine house, having Yin Gou and Qi Lin make a trip to the Good Forest Town. When Qing Dai wanted to enter the Jing King Manor, she was actually stopped outside the door.
Qi Rou put down her brush and spoke to Qing Dai beside her, "The human heart is devious. I can't count on the King's Manor. Can you contact your acquaintances to search for them?"
"I remember that Young Master Qi sent someone to the third prince's mansion."
