C753

Duan Feng seemed to have fled with her men.

The door was tightly shut and the door was locked tight. The sound of chains knocking against each other could be vaguely heard.

Yun Qingyang stared blankly at his granddaughter, who had sat down on a stool with her fingers trembling. His eyes were filled with panic, while Qing Qing, who sat beside him, did not have his mother's aggressive look. She could only listen but could not understand what she was saying.

"Yan'Er." Yun Qingyang called out softly in the end.

He opened his mouth, but there were still some guards at the door, so he didn't dare to say anything soft. He stood up and walked to Yun Qingyang's side and sat on the ground like before, lying on Yun Qingyang's knees.

Although he hadn't seen much of his grandfather before, he knew that his grandfather was getting older and his body was growing weaker. After a few years, Yun Qingyang's hair had turned gray and his skin was covered with wrinkles, but the hand that was on Gu Ming's cigarette was still gentle and strong.

On the other hand, Qing Yi was holding Gu Daiyan's hand: "Mother, I'm scared."

"Good girl Qing, mother will bring you to see little brother in a few days." Gu Danyan smiled and caressed the palm of Qing Ze's hand. He raised his head and looked at the man sitting on Yun Qingyang's body. He smiled: "Those blades are all things that father took. Although they can hurt, they can also protect."

"Is it like when mother used the knife on that bad guy?" Qing Shui's eyes widened as well.

"More or less." Yun Qingyang placed her other hand on her head and looked at Gu Daiyan: "I didn't expect that you would have to bear all these responsibilities in the future."

"Grandfather, what are you saying? I'm not taking responsibility for this, I'm just being arrogant and conceited in thinking that I can do something." Tears welled up in Gu Danyan's eyes as he leaned on Yun Qingyang's knee: "When this is all over, I will only go and be my doctor."

"If you could join a good family, you might not get involved in this dispute." As Yun Qingyang spoke up to this point, she furrowed her brows. However, Gu Liuyan chuckled lightly in response: "Without this body, how could I have a grandfather, mother, and father? To me, this is the fortune of a lifetime."

Yun Qingyang's nose was sour, she had never expected to meet Gu Mingyan here.

However, he also knew that the willful and arrogant Gu Pingyan from when he was young had long since passed away on the wedding night. Even though he hated Duan Chengxuan for wanting to kill him so badly that he could quickly avenge his child, when Gu Pingyan was free and easy to take care of, regardless of all that had happened, or perhaps it was the current situation, he had no complaints.

Perhaps she was destined to live in Gu Mingyan's body in order to solve the series of troubles that she faced today.

"But in this situation, even if I know these things, what can I do? "I only hope that they won't be blinded by the mist. If I can carefully investigate Gu Cheng's past, I might be able to find some flaws." Gu Liuyan said softly, but with one hand, he gestured for Qing Shui to keep quiet, and handed over the two water route maps that Gu Zixian had brought with him to Yun Qingyang.

In a room like this, where there were plenty of concealed weapons, Gu Liuyan didn't think that the four walls could create a hole or leave behind a secret door.

At first, Yun Qingyang was slightly surprised, but then she carefully looked at the details in detail. She saw Gu Danyan put the two pieces of paper into the teapot, knocked on the door, and waited for the door to open before handing the teapot to the soldiers outside, and closing the door without saying a word.

It was enough as long as Duan Feng knew that she had something in her hands.

Originally, she wanted to find out whether this was all deliberately done by someone or if the ancient people found a way to distinguish the direction of the underground water. This way, she could naturally distinguish if the water map was related to immortality.

It would be a rumor if it was just a rumor spreading through the underground. If the naturally occurring underground water really had some connection with the fallen Guan Tian Mountain, the Tyrant Palace and the other places, she would have to clean up the matter.

But at the same time, from the general arrangement of the Eight Trigrams Formation in the Nine Cities of the Fringe, as well as the contrast with the underground water that was completely man-made, all of this seemed to have been deliberately done by someone.

In this case, the water map was useless, and all this was just a speculation of the ancients.

He did not discover something like the Eight Trigram Formation that was truly called an ancient artifact and instead blamed everything that he could not comprehend on the Immortal Deity Technique that no one knew about. In other words, other than the fact that this poisonous object was able to extend its life and use blood in exchange for youth, the calamity that had changed the genes of the humans in this place had made it so easy to obtain it.

Yun Qingyang's brows were tightly knitted at this moment, "If this painting is real, then all of this …"

"Of course. Grandfather, you already know about this. You and I both know the truth." As Gu Liuyan said this, she walked to Yun Qingyang's side and handed her wrist over: "Not only that, there is another truth here. Even if it's Duan Feng who wants to use me to do something, as long as I don't find the antidote within three months, her life will be gone."

Gu Danyan's words weren't loud, but the soldiers outside had already left quietly.

Qing Qing's eyes became wet as she stared at Gu Danyan. Gu Danyan rubbed her head helplessly and made a silencing gesture. Qing Qing quickly covered her mouth, vaguely understanding Gu Danyan's actions.

After a while, the door was opened again. Eunuch Wu walked in with a gloomy face. "What was on that piece of paper?"

"Naturally, it is the lifeblood of the country." Gu Mingyan's words were true. If she used this to cut off the water sources of the Three Kingdoms, it would be equivalent to cutting off their lifeline.

Eunuch Wu raised his brows. "Now that you're under control, you're still so proud. Do you really think we can't deal with you?"

"If you have a way, why did you trap me here instead of bringing me directly to Gu Cheng? All in all, the princes have yet to split up from one another, and none of you have found an opportunity to take advantage of them. Therefore, you thought it would be better to finish this matter of longevity first, and not waste your time. " Gu Danyan's voice rose again and again. He looked at Eunuch Wu with a hint of contempt: "If you had known everything like me, you would naturally have gone to everywhere to act domineering."

Eunuch Wu's face was ashen. Although he did not use his status as a eunuch to say anything, he was still able to climb to the point where he claimed that he was an astute and intelligent person. Compared to Gu Liuyan, he was a far cry from her at this point.

"None of you are worthy of negotiating with me. I've already told Grandfather everything, and I've already decided to sit here and wait for my death. You can let Duan Feng do as she pleases." This time, Gu Danyan crossed her legs proudly and sat on the wooden chair ungracefully. She raised her face slightly and showed no fear.
