"Yin Qiufu and I are both girls, how can we do anything?"
Gu Daiyan held the small dumpling in his hands, looking at the appearance of Qi Lin, who was protecting his son, and didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
"Normally when you were just teasing his, that's fine. But now that Yin Gou is so old, you still dare to tease his." Qi Lin touched the red handprint on his face in pain, "Even if you like it, you can't pinch it for so long."
Gu Baiyan rolled his eyes and helplessly said, "If I didn't pinch her, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know that you've made a fat pig out of my slim beauty."
"Miss!" Xiuxiu angrily pulled Qi Lin's hand away and said angrily, "I told you you should move more every day. You ate well all the way."
With that, she jogged to Gu Tinyan's side. Qi Lin was angry and frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.
As Gu Liuyan said this, he also wanted to feed another hot dumpling.
The four of them were laughing and joking in the room, but it was already raining quietly outside the door. The ghost and Qu Hao were carrying a few books over and said, "It's going to snow, I'm afraid."
"This year's winter is especially cold." Qu Hao nodded, glancing at ghost, "I think I have quite a few girls who like you."
The ghost choked for a moment. He had long since known that the Er Dan girl had the power of a fierce tiger. He immediately shook his head. "There's no need."
"If you have a family, I'm sure that sister will be very happy." Qu Hao whispered.
His ghostly body stiffened, but his face remained expressionless. He only gave a suspicious look to Qu Hao.
He seemed to know something from the meaning of those words.
The two of them ate some hot soup dumplings together while Gu Pingyan flipped through the book in front of him, but he didn't notice anything related to underground water. He just told some stories about people searching for water and asked curiously: "Can the river water over at Navy Tide not reach Er Dan?"
"Only one corner of Eldan is to be enjoyed, and there was often a shortage of water in Le City and in the deeper hinterlands, when there was no good measure to cut open the river." Qu Hao explained, "However, I have already sent someone to guard the entrance of a few wells, including the border area."
Gu Danyan closed the book, "If you really want to use the groundwater to slaughter the city, you should also consider using your own water source."
The corners of Qu Hao's lips curled up. "I understand what you mean, sister. When the time comes, I will send someone to check it out. However, there is an undercurrent flowing in the underground water, making it difficult to determine the direction."
"However, after poisoning, as long as you know where the poison is coming from, you will know the direction of the underground water." Gu Liuyan opened the book again: "Similarly, if someone is preparing for the slaughter of the city in the future, this is just a small test."
Yin Jiao moved closer to Qi Lin.
"Don't make it sound so terrifying." The ghost patted off the dust on his body and sat down. "This kind of poison is not enough to massacre a city."
"Maybe. But there is another possibility. " Gu Danyan stood up and took a book from a nearby bookshelf. He threw it into the ghost's arms and said, "A blood pool of one hundred thousand people. For your immortality."
While he was still lost in thought, Gu Pingyan said, "This is the book given to me by the caravan on the road. There is a temple ruin north of Er Dan that was built by the Emperor during the eleventh generation, and one of the pits has not been completed yet, but thousands of lives have already been lost. In the last seventeen years, Tyrant was pulled down the altar and thrown into the deep pit, the pool water was still blood-red for a hundred years, and after two hundred years, the temple was also flooded with sand and rocks. "Eighty years ago, there was a tomb robber who dug out a manual. The scroll contained a method to concoct pills, and this method of immortality was also hidden within it."
She slowly sat down and looked at Qu Hao with her bright eyes. She half-propped herself up with a smile on her face. "Speaking of which, if it wasn't for the Qu Clan's ancestors pulling this tyrant down from the altar, the Royal Clan wouldn't even be able to join us now."
"So you think someone is trying to emulate that person? "It's a bit too far-fetched." Qi Lin pulled Silver Forcing into his arms, also confused.
"If it's war, of course, one would not believe in ghosts and gods. However, if it's the people's hearts, who would know?" Gu Xuan stretched out her hand to pour herself a cup of tea. Out of the corner of her eye, he saw her wrist peeking out from under her sleeve. She quickly took a cup and covered it up without a trace.
No one noticed.
If she thought like this, how could she not want the method to live forever?
"Aunt Yun does not wish to interfere." Qu Hao heaved a long sigh. "You always know too much."
Gu Mingyan spread out her hands, ignoring the matter.
Of course she knew about the tyrant. Most people would probably think of it. Moreover, if one thought about it carefully, it was not only because of the matter of Ai Qi being imprisoned. Otherwise, why would Ai Yan come and look for him so hurriedly, even if it would cause a war?
No matter what one said, the new kingdom and Jiang Yan were a bit too impatient.
"Let's not talk about these serious matters first. Tomorrow, there will be a big pot of food in the barracks, and we will also take some foreign refugees who have nowhere to go and set up camp outside. Unfortunately, there aren't many doctors in the city." Qu Hao coughed a few times and quickly changed the topic.
It was better to let her elder sister see a doctor than to let her participate in the affairs of the world.
Gu Liuyan immediately agreed and sighed: "Everyone else is eager to become a dragon and a phoenix in their desire for a woman. Yet you guys just want to not do anything."
"Who told you not to worry." Seeing that there were quite a few people in the room, Phantom Demon put down the books in his hands and said, "Qi Lin, let them sleep together with you tonight. The nearest houses aren't many, there will be a few new recruits living here tomorrow."
"It just so happens that I have to go to the drill grounds with you tomorrow." Qi Lin nodded.
Gu Danyan froze. He didn't know that if he took off his clothes, the marks on his body would be seen by others.
The few of them made a ruckus for a while before leaving, leaving only Yin Gou and Gu Daiyan behind. They teased Yin Gou to wash up early and lie inside.
This woman who was already over 20 years old was still a child. She only revealed a pair of round eyes as she looked at her. "Miss, I have never slept in the same bed with a girl before."
"Today is fine, but I'm too afraid of the cold. I'll go get a bed and a blanket. Go and sleep first." Gu Liuyan washed his face and extinguished the candle flame. He fumbled in the darkness for a thick blanket and crawled into bed.
In this way, Silverymoon would not be discovered.
On the morning of the second day, the drizzling rain had turned into falling snow.
Yin Qiufu woke up in a daze from sleep to get dressed. Gu Liuyan, who was beside her, was still curled up and had not woken up.
"Since when did Miss get into bed?" Yin Gou muttered to herself, but then she saw the door was pushed open a crack by Qi Lin outside, and called out to her, "Madam, you're going to follow us to the school field, didn't you have something to talk to her about?"
"Right away." Gouyu quietly changed her clothes and followed Qi Lin out.
The person on the bed was still sleeping soundly.
