Chapter 135 - My Servant Gu Ducheng
"I recognize her. Although I've never seen her before, she looks very similar to Ah Zhu, so I have some impression of her." After Xiao Feng heard this, he nodded and said.
Then, he smiled and greeted Ah Zi before introducing himself.
"Your sister is currently recuperating in Beggar Gangs. Her body is fine, she only needs to recuperate for a while." Xiao Feng roughly explained what happened with Ah Zhu and added.
"Is that so? "My sister is fine, so I'm relieved." Hearing that, Ah Zi heaved a sigh of relief, as though he had forgotten that he was being chased.
"But right now, I have to clarify about your situation. Duan Zhengchun is the prince of the Dali, his status is noble, and I won't arrest someone I don't know for no reason." Ling Xiao reminded.
Hearing this, Ah Zi's expression immediately became unsightly, and she said somewhat frantically: "I really don't know them, yet they want to capture me for no reason, probably because they want to see my looks, that Prince Duan is definitely not a good person!"
"There must be some kind of misunderstanding. It's impossible for a prince to do such a weird thing." Xiao Feng said in disbelief.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao said indifferently: "So we need to find Duan Zhengchun and ask him about it. He seems to have a lot of secrets."
Xiao Feng was startled after hearing it, turned his head to look at Ling Xiao, and carefully asked: "Sect Master Ling, are we not going to cause trouble this time?"
"Eldest Brother Xiao Feng is overthinking things. This place is still Dali's territory no matter what, and the place we are going to is the Dali's Imperial Family. Ling Xiao said with a helpless smile.
Just then, the astrologer disciple who was leading the way stopped and bowed in front of them. Ling Xiao and the rest all raised their heads to look as well.
He saw a man in brown cloth clothes appearing on the road. He had a long sword at his waist, and from the looks of it, he was an expert.
"Master Gu." The astrologer disciple lowered her head and said.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao immediately thought that this man in front of him should be one of Duan Zhengchun's four great subjects, Gu Ducheng.
Gu Ducheng nodded at the astrologer disciple, then raised her head and looked at Ah Zi who was on top of Ling Xiao's horse, then glanced at Xiao Feng, and finally stopped looking at Ling Xiao.
"Sect Master Ling, I didn't expect to see you here." Gu Ducheng was extremely polite, he should have seen Ling Xiao before at Imperial City.
Ling Xiao slightly nodded, and said: "So it's the ancient bodyguard, one of the four great family servants. Looks like the Prince Duan is nearby?"
Hearing that, Gu Ducheng's expression turned cold, he knew that he wouldn't be able to hide from Ling Xiao's eyes, thus he nodded and said: "Yes, Sect Master Ling can it be that you want to see the Duke?"
Ling Xiao laughed out loud and said: "Since we can meet Prince Duan here, why don't we meet him? Meeting him is fate.
Hearing that, Gu Ducheng immediately cupped his fists and said: "Where is Sect Master Ling? You are an esteemed guest of our Dali. If Prince Duan knew you were coming, he would definitely be very happy."
"Since that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Gu bodyguard." Ling Xiao smiled.
Hearing that, Gu Ducheng's face immediately became ugly, and at the same time, Ling Xiao noticed that he sneaked a glance at Ah Zi.
"What, could it be that there is something important with the ancient bodyguard?" Seeing that, Ling Xiao could not help but raise his eyebrows and ask.
Hearing that, Gu Ducheng's body froze, he immediately bowed and said: "I did not."
"I've noticed your eyes on this young lady several times. Is it because I have some ulterior motive towards her?" Ling Xiao suddenly raised his voice.
Gu Ducheng was so scared that his legs almost went soft, he immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, Sect Master Ling has misunderstood me!"
"If that's the case, why is the ancient bodyguard still here?" Ling Xiao laughed faintly.
Looking at Ling Xiao's smile, Gu Ducheng felt goosebumps all over his body.
"The prince has matters to attend to, so it's not convenient for him to meet with others right now." Gu Ducheng remained silent for a while, before he forced himself to speak.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao laughed coldly: "Oh? What exactly is it that you need to capture an innocent girl? "
Hearing this, Gu Ducheng felt his scalp tingling. If the other party was someone else, he would have already expelled him using a strong method, he could even directly execute him, but the other party just had to be Ling Xiao.
"Sect Master Ling, I think there's a misunderstanding here, maybe we caught the wrong person." Gu Ducheng only wanted to send Ling Xiao away quickly.
However, how could Ling Xiao just buy it? After all, his purpose of coming to the Dali was to meet with the Prince Duan.
"Misunderstanding? It seems that the person Prince Duan is trying to capture is very powerful, you guys are trying to capture him even when you can't see clearly, could it be that you guys lost him? " Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said.
Hearing that, Gu Ducheng nodded his head and said: "Sect Master Ling is right, we should have lost him."
"Really?" That won't do, how can Prince Duan let the people they want escape just like that? Furthermore, based on what Gu bodyguard said, Prince Duan seems to be quite anxious. Since that's the case, then let's meet up with Prince Duan and maybe I can help you catch that person. At that time, there will definitely be a share of Gu bodyguard's contribution. " Ling Xiao looked at Gu Ducheng and said with a smile, looking like he had a kind heart.
However, to Gu Ducheng, this was not the result he wanted at all.
Only, from the looks of it, Gu Ducheng no longer had any reason to reject.
"My purpose for coming to the Dali this time is to meet the Prince Duan, and this time I am preparing to go to the Imperial City. If I do not see the Prince Duan in the Imperial City, I will definitely find you here, so don't delay any longer, if something goes wrong, you should not be able to bear it." Ling Xiao saw that Gu Ducheng was still hesitating, and kept smiling, his expression indifferent.
couldn't help but shiver when he saw Ling Xiao's eyes. In the end, he forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gritted his teeth and said: "Sect Master Ling is right, please follow me to the Duke's residence."
With that, Gu Ducheng turned and walked into the forest. Seeing that, Ling Xiao patted his horse's stomach and followed along.
As for the astrologer disciple, she didn't dare to move at all. It was clear that she was sweating profusely and she was extremely nervous.
After all, if something happened, even if he just stood there watching, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape punishment.
This Gu Ducheng was one of Duan Zhengchun's four servants after all, he had no contributions and at the same time, he had worked hard.
However, that disciple of the astrologer was just a small scum, the final anger he had wouldn't be able to escape no matter what.
