Chapter 59 Edge
Gu Mingzhu left in a hurry.

At twilight, she and Yueyan quietly left through the side door, one by one, and left the city gate overnight.

The night in Jiangling was dark and starry, and neither of them had time to care about it. The horses rode in the night and rushed to a further place.

In the evening of the next day, the two stayed in an inn.

After a day's driving, both of them were busy with travel and dust, so Xiaoer asked Xiaoer to carry two buckets of hot water, and went to the first floor for dinner after taking a bath.

For simple meals, Gu Mingzhu ate slow rice sticks, just sipped tea, sighed and put down chopsticks while eating, and said: "It's hard to live without anyone around here. The food in the inn is far worse than Chun'er's."

Although I complained, I also ate half a bowl of rice.

Yueyan finished a bowl of rice without changing his expression, poured tea, and said, "Eat as much as you want, this small place is no better than the county town."

Both of them were dressed in men's clothing to conceal the truth.

Gu Mingzhu shook her head: "I really can't eat it anymore."

"Forget it, I will pass by the county seat tomorrow and buy some food."

The two of them returned to their room after eating. As soon as they arrived at the door, Yue Yan's legs and feet suddenly softened, and she almost couldn't stand still. Gu Mingzhu supported her: "What's going on?"

Yueyan shook her head at her: "It's nothing..."

Gu Mingzhu pushed open the door, and then closed it.

As soon as the door was closed, Yueyan's body softened, and Gu Mingzhu helped her to sit down. She hurriedly reached out to feel Yueyan's pulse.

"It's not poison..." Yueyan struggled, "It's Mongolian sweat medicine."

The two looked at each other, and Gu Mingzhu also faintly felt dizziness. She supported the table, opened the window and looked out, trying to find a way out, and said, "I think the reason for this desolate country is to see the two of us dress up for money."

Her body inevitably softened, presumably she had eaten less and the medicine was not strong.

Gu Mingzhu turned her head while talking, and suddenly saw a dagger in Yueyan's sleeve, stabbing straight at herself.

Gu Mingzhu yelled, "What are you doing!"

But she said it was too late, the sharp dagger pierced her hand, and the severe pain made Yueyan regain consciousness instantly.

She pressed the wound on her wrist, her face was a little pale, and she said to Gu Mingzhu, "Let's go."

If this country land falls into the hands of bandits, seeing that the two of them are women, troubles will inevitably arise.

Gu Mingzhu pressed her anxiety, opened the door, and led the people downstairs in a hurry, even missing a few steps on the way, but Yueyan supported her.

"Guest officer..."

The waiter who was watching the store stopped the way: "Where are you two guest officers going in the middle of the night?"

Yueyan supported her, and said coldly, "Get out!"

In an instant, four or five big men blocked the way, one of them closed the door of the inn, took out a dagger, and sneered: "The two of you should stay!"

Yue Yan's face was gloomy, and she helped Gu Mingzhu, whose hands and feet were weak, to sit aside. She was wearing a green robe, her eyes swept over her eyes, and she stroked her waist with her right hand.

"court death!"

It was a soft sword hidden in his waist.

She struck fiercely, every move was aimed at people's lives, and soon there was blood all over the front hall.

Yueyan took Gu Mingzhu to break through the door and mounted the horse, and the two rode out of the town.

She held on for a long time, almost tottering on the horse, and passed out after a while.

When he woke up again, he was under a tree, and the flames blazed faintly. Yue Yan opened his eyes soberly, Gu Mingzhu heard the movement, turned around, and said, "You're awake."

Yueyan looked around and found that it was a wilderness, and the wound on her arm was also bandaged. She sat up and said, "Thank you, miss."

Gu Mingzhu said: "It should be me thanking you, it's just about hurting yourself, don't do it in the future."

Gu Mingzhu paused, then said, "I have a bad heart."

Yue Yan said: "Yes."

She was covered with Gu Mingzhu's robe, handed it back, and said: "This place is not far from the three states, and one day, we should reach the junction."

Gu Mingzhu gave a compliment, but didn't answer, she held a slender piece of dry firewood in her hand, her eyes wandered a bit.

Yueyan was silent for a while, and said: "Miss, are you worried about your son?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "He is walking with Li Xu, and he will definitely not stand by. It is really a difficult problem."

"Then wait until you enter the three states. It is impossible for the prince to follow him every day. The three states are in turmoil. There are many princes who die because of sophistry. It is indeed better than being on the road."

Yueyan leaned against the tree trunk, and felt a slight pain in her arm. She asked curiously, "Miss, have you ever studied medicine? This bandaging technique is better than that of military doctors in the army."

Gu Mingzhu said: "I have studied with the master for several years."

Yueyan said: "Miss knows a lot."

Gu Mingzhu smiled, and said: "I heard that you practiced martial arts under a famous teacher when you were young, and your martial arts skills are outstanding, and you have a great reputation in Fu County."

Maybe it's because they just met Xue Xue. In the silence of the night, there was no chatting. Both of them were curious about each other's past.

"I started practicing martial arts when I was three years old."

Gu Mingzhu picked up the sparks and said, "It should be very difficult."

Yueyan seemed to be recalling something, and smiled: "It's not difficult for me. I picked a knife when I was one year old and drew lots. My father said that I would be expected to practice martial arts in the future, so I went to find a famous teacher to learn the art. Learning is ten years."

Gu Mingzhu was silent, and said: "It is always more difficult for women to learn art than others. This is the way of the world. Prejudice and distortion are not only among the aristocratic families, but also between men and women."

Yueyan looked over, and she was a little surprised when she saw the painful expression on Gu Mingzhu's face.

Gu Mingzhu threw the dry firewood into the fire, and said, "But it's finally achieved, and I've lived up to your original efforts."

She looked around and said to the moon: "Sleep, wake up and hurry."

Gu Mingzhu covered her body with the robe, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

At daybreak, the two rode their horses on their way.

At noon, I arrived at Yanzhou, the closest state city to the three states.

The two went to the medical hall to change their wound medicines, and then sat down at the stall to eat after they came out.

"Boss, two bowls of wontons, one without green onions."

The two who had been hungry all night didn't pick anything, and continued on their way after eating.

Dangzhou is located in the middle of the southeast and is the most important location of the riots in the three states.

Before reaching the city gate, there was already a long queue, and the officers and soldiers of the guards searched heavily. When they were approaching them, there was a commotion ahead.

"You are not allowed to enter the city!"

"Ah...why?"

"The captain said that refugees cannot enter the city!"

"...But we are not refugees!"

The officers and soldiers looked at the mother and son: "Aren't you a refugee? I see you like this a hundred times a day, I can't be wrong! Get out of here quickly, don't delay others."

The emaciated toddler was thrown aside, and the terrified mother rushed to help her up, and finally had no choice but to pick up the child and walk aside.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes darkened, and her eyes stopped following the two of them leaning against the city wall.

Yueyan whispered: "This is the situation in Sanzhou now."

Gu Mingzhu looked away, unable to see any emotion.

The two entered the city smoothly, and the city of Dangzhou was relatively safe, so they found an inn to settle down.

When Yue was on the branch, he heard people on the street discussing that it was Prince Rui who had entered the city.

There was a slight sound from the roof, and the person who had rested all day sat up from the bed.

Yueyan closed the window and said, "It's over."

A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Mingzhu's lips, and she straightened her robes slowly, saying: "Once he enters the city, this inn will not be very peaceful."

Gu Mingzhu sat next to the bronze mirror, she loosened her long hair and tied it into a high ponytail. No makeup was applied, and an indescribable depth flashed in her eyes.

She reached out and put on the silver mask on the table, covering most of her face, then turned around and said, "Let's go, I'll show you to meet someone."

Yueyan clearly felt that Gu Mingzhu's aura had changed.

In the past, she was just talking, joking and plotting. Although she was ruthless, she was also deceptive.

But the person in front of him now, indifference, ruthlessness, killing intent...all written on his body.

In the darkness of night, the two stopped in front of a shop.

Gu Mingzhu knocked on the door three times.

The door was creaked open, and the handsome boy poked his head out: "Who are you looking for?"

Gu Mingzhu stood in front of the door, her eyes were like torches: "Red leaves, spring feast."

The boy's expression shook, he opened the door, and the two of them entered.

Passing through the lobby, Gu Mingzhu walked straight in. She walked through the corridor with Yueyan, and as soon as she reached the courtyard, she heard someone shouting: "Who dares to break in at night?"

Gu Mingzhu looked for the sound, and saw the dark shadow on the roof standing against the moon, unable to see clearly in the night.

Gu Mingzhu put her hands behind her back and said, "If you don't come down again, I'll throw you out, do you believe it or not?"

The person on the roof paused, and Yue Yan could feel his emotions, then the person flew down and landed in front of Gu Mingzhu, with a surprised tone: "The landlord?"

"you you……"

"What's wrong with me?" Gu Mingzhu asked with a smile.

The man's tone couldn't restrain his lightness, and he said, "Why did you come in person? If you don't come, we can do the Sanzhou matter."

Gu Mingzhu walked straight in: "What? Afraid of me?"

"Well...it's just that the landlord left me alone in the east, and Xia Yu and Chuqiu Liandong all went to Jiangling. I'm not bored."

Gu Mingzhu said with a smile in her tone, "I know you're bored, so I'm here."

Chun Yan snorted: "It's not a good thing for the landlord to come at this time."

She pushed open the door of a room, lit the lamp, and said, "Oh? How should I say it?"

"It's just a time when the three states are in turmoil and things haven't been settled yet. If the landlord comes at this time, it seems that I am not good at handling things."

He glanced at Yueyan casually, and he was puzzled: "The landlord brought a new face? Let me guess..."

He held his chin and thought for a while: "Chu Qiu's letter said that the landlord has acquired an extremely intelligent subordinate, could it be this person?"

Gu Mingzhu crossed her legs and looked at him with a half-smile, without saying a word.

Chun Yan suddenly realized something and let out a long cry, and turned to Yueyan with a smile on his face: "Hello."

Yue Yan was so stared at by him, she didn't move, she nodded lightly: "You are also good."

Chun Yan clicked his tongue twice: "Why are you so cold?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "What kind of tricks are you playing? Tell me, how is the current situation in Dangzhou?"

Chun Yan sat aside and imitated her by raising one leg: "Prince Rui just entered the city, but right now the city is in chaos, he might not be able to withstand the shock."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Whose person?"

"There are all of them, ours, and the rebels led by Han Shuo. Our people are mixed with Han Shuo's troops, waiting for the opportunity to move."

Gu Mingzhu looked down: "Xu Jue is here too."

Chun Yan said: "I've heard that it's not too difficult. It's impossible for Xu Jue to be by Prince Rui's side every day. For a person like him, looking at Prince Rui is like looking at shit."

The three people's ideas coincided with each other.

Gu Mingzhu was silent, and asked again: "What about Qing County and Yangcheng?"

Chun Yan thought for a while and said, "It's not optimistic, but it's not us."

Gu Mingzhu said: "It's exactly what I want."
