The Lady Boss of Blackwater Town still had her pipe in his mouth.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, miss." The Lady Boss continued to smile, while the waiter sitting beside her felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. The Lady Boss ruthlessly slapped the back of his head before he nodded and respectfully called out to her, "Your Highness."
"I thought you were going to kill me or flee." Gu Danyan pulled back his cloak a bit, wiped off his hands, and then picked up the bowl and chopsticks in his hands. "But I'm not going to pursue your escape, just tell me who the person behind you is. In the future, you can sleep peacefully."
The Lady Boss frowned and passed her wrist over. "I came to find you, Miss."
Gu Pingyan touched her wrist in confusion and raised his eyebrows: "You should be a veteran."
"However, this poison came from Gu Cheng. He was the husband of that madam in the past, so he naturally left behind many notes." The Lady Boss lowered her eyes, allowing the waiter by her side to pull out a thick and heavy booklet from her bag. "All of your journeys are recorded here, and these are all that Gu Cheng needs."
Gu Liuyan counted the things he did in the book in disbelief.
The ghost also looked at it and mentioned a woman with a black veil. He asked, "You have followed someone to Er Dan."
"No, those are the people that Gu Cheng sent in." The Lady Boss took a deep breath and placed her fingertips on the table. "I have specially investigated those people and memorized them one by one. If I didn't meet you here, I might have gone to the Fringe."
"You're so loyal to her?" The ghost sneered.
Gu Daiyan shook his head helplessly: "I will give you the antidote, a sum of money, and the right to manage the rest of Blackwater Town."
Even in Gu Cheng's eyes, he probably had no idea how powerful his homeland and country were.
"I knew it; I liked Miss's pay more. Don't look at me like this, I like Navy Tide quite a bit." The Lady Boss smiled, also calling out to the boss to send some more big cakes over, before saying, "Still, I'm rather curious. We've collected quite a few things about Gu Cheng, but never did we expect him to be able to find our Black Water Town."
Gu Danyan nodded and asked the ghost to give her the antidote – after all, the poison had come from Yun Dian's hands.
However, this way, he would know that the person who had poisoned the underground waters was not Gu Cheng.
Since he had the ability to force people into the city, he naturally wouldn't use such a clumsy method like poisoning to test him. Instead, he would be the one to fail.
After they had eaten their fill, Gu Danyan finally calmed down a bit. The vomiting and the habit of not liking to eat had yet to show on her body, and her body had also recovered some strength and warmth. Coincidentally, the door of the room was pushed open, and a few travellers came in, Gu Yan was blown away by the cold wind and only shrunk her neck: "In a few days, I will definitely go back and beat those two bastards up."
The ghost looked at her with a half smile. "Who decided to leave in the first place? The cold wind can't take it anymore."
"I'm just a bit anxious." Gu Danyan massaged his forehead with a headache, feeling that he did not have the rationality he once had. He would speak his mind from time to time.
If it was really possible, she hoped even more that the person by her side would be Duan Chengxuan.
"I'll sleep next to your bed tonight." "Wait until tomorrow morning, and bring your two subordinates back. It would be best if they can conceal themselves before the arrival of the princes."
"Sure, but don't tell me I woke up so many times tonight." Gu Danyan nodded obediently, but didn't refuse.
The Lady Boss looked at the two of them strangely. She tapped the table with her pipe. "It's good to be young and pretty. I'm afraid this old lady can't compare up to you."
Gu Danyan looked at her helplessly and said a few words before returning to the room.
On the second day, the snowstorm did not subside. The men below were all clamoring that this year's winter was too abnormal, but they were glad that Dong Ri's wounds were better healed. The smell of blood in the inn became even stronger.
He woke up the next day and was even a little exhausted. Without any other choice, he could only leave this place and find a place to stay. The village he passed by was already completely burned down and he could only find a place to rest.
The Lady Boss seemed to have taken a lot of things from the inn owner, as she climbed into the carriage with Gu Daiyan. However, she didn't take the pipe with her today, she only pushed one of the workers beside her. "Take good care of him if you don't want to die, and bring a cushion along as well."
The timid shop assistant quickly nodded his head. The Lady Boss sat beside Gu Liuyan and looked at her. "Usually, the young miss or madam of a family won't go out while they are pregnant."
Gu Liuyan glanced at her: "What's your name?"
"Everyone else calls me Auntie Du. This shop assistant is a coward, so I threw his name away. You can just call him Ergou." Auntie Du touched her neck. "How long will it take to cure the poison?"
"Three days will do." Gu Danyan took note of each of their names. He shrunk back and closed his eyes to recuperate.
It was a difficult path for the wind and snow, so the ghost took the carriage and walked for a few miles before finding a relatively large cave. There was even charred wood, as if someone had come a few days ago to look for wood, while the aunt Du and Ergou went out to look for wood. The ghost simply nailed a blanket to the top of the cave to protect themselves from the wind and snow.
Gu Danyan let out a bit of blood as usual. The marks on her arms seemed to have disappeared a lot. Even the ghosts and demons heaved a sigh of relief. At least this Red Jade Pool had some effect.
"Once we return, are you going to look for Lai Xuan, or Duan Chengrui first?" The ghost asked.
After all, the Fourth Prince will definitely go see the situation of the Consort Xian. The Sixth Prince will not easily guard the border at this time, so he will naturally return to take the title of nobility in the future. " Gu Danyan rubbed his sore waist and subconsciously looked at his weak belly.
When Aunty Du and Ergou came back from collecting firewood, they still couldn't use it directly. They waited until the night when they could barely make a fire, while Gu Danyan slept soundly. During the two times he got up, he ate a lot of dried food in the morning before continuing on his journey.
The wind and snow didn't stop. When they returned to the border, Gu Danyan almost thought that he had lost his life.
Zhang Liang Shan gave them his own courtyard. Since the fourth and sixth princes weren't present, he naturally didn't dare to let others know that Princess Er Dan was not in Tianyan but was instead present here.
In the inner room, Zhang Liangshan placed the person on the bed. With a blaming look in his eyes, he said, "With a little kid in your arms, you still dare to face the wind and snow while travelling. You're lucky that this is Duan Chengxuan's child, which is why you survived so tenaciously."
"It seems like this child will follow his father and will have great fortune." Gu Daiyan's face was pale as a sheet. Zhang Liangshan was furious, but he could only send someone to fry medicine. He sat on the bed and looked at her, "If you're like this, I'm afraid premature delivery will happen sooner or later."
