The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 242

"Master, why bother, the general may have already died in that fire." Seeing how persistent she was, Qiu Bi couldn't help reminding her.

"I don't believe he died so easily." Xia Lanyue said seriously, but Qiu Bi let out a long sigh.

"If the emperor wanted to get rid of the general, he must have sent a killer. Otherwise, there would be no survivors in the general's mansion in this fire. Taking ten thousand steps back, if he is really still alive, you are lucky enough to be found by you, my master. so what?"

Xia Lanyue was silent, and was awakened by Qiubi's words. She wanted to find Mu Piaoyu so desperately, so what was she thinking?
"Excuse me, are you Li Mei?"

A clear and gentle voice resounded in the empty surroundings, and a middle-aged woman in green clothes stood behind them. Although she was nearly forty years old, there was no trace of aging on her face, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Gentle and touching, it is comforting to watch.

Xia Lanyue was full of doubts, and asked with a bit of guard: "You are?"

"I'm Gu Ling." She spoke softly, with a hint of loneliness in her smile.

Xia Lanyue was taken aback, and Gu Ling's name quickly flashed in her memory. She had heard of this name many years ago. She has been a popular person around Mu Piaoyu these years, and she is also the only female relative in the general's mansion. There are many speculations about his life experience, and there are different opinions, but no favorable confirmation has been obtained.

Xia Lanyue asked suspiciously: "How do you know I'm Li Mei, we probably haven't met before."

Gu Ling replied with a smile: "I have seen many portraits of you in the general's study."

After Xia Lanyue listened, she was silent for a long time, her eyes were a little sad.

Qiu Bi asked aloud: "No one survived the fire in the General's Mansion, why are you here so well? Since you escaped, why do you still stay here? Aren't you afraid of being chased and killed?"

Gu Ling said: "That night more than [-] men in black came to the general's mansion to slaughter, but I was rescued by the general and escaped by chance. I stayed here just to wait for you."

Xia Lanyue immediately asked: "So Mu Piaoyu is still alive?"

Gu Ling nodded: "Live naturally."

"What about the others?"

"That's why I'm waiting for you here. If I can't wait for you in this life, then the general loves the wrong person. But you still come, it proves that the general didn't love you wrong."

"Where is he?" Xia Lanyue just kept asking.

"I'm waiting for you here, just to take you to see him." Gu Ling smiled bitterly, looking back at the distant green hills behind the wilderness, her eyes were ethereal.

They hired a carriage and set foot on the road to meet Mu Piaoyu. On the way, Gu Ling talked to her about the past with Mu Piaoyu. Xia Lanyue and Qiubi were like listeners. Without saying a word, he listened to Gu Ling talking about the details of these years.

"I am a native of Qi. In that year, I, Mu Piaoyu, led the army to destroy Qi. How many people of Qi were displaced. I saw the whole capital flow into rivers of blood. I hated him. He destroyed my country. I I have learned kung fu since I was a child, and I thought of coming to Wei State to seek revenge on Mu Piaoyu. Although I know that the chance of me assassinating him is very small, but my relatives have long since died in that battle, and I live alone in this world. It's better to fight to the death. That night, Mu Piaoyu returned triumphantly, and everyone in the mansion greeted him outside the mansion. There was almost no security in the mansion, so I climbed over the wall and hid in Mu Piaoyu's room to wait for the opportunity. The result was of course The assassination failed. In fact, I didn’t report any hope before I came here. I had already prepared for the worst, but Mu Piaoyu, who captured me, didn’t kill me, but..." When Gu Ling said this, she suddenly laughed , as if recalling such a happy event, there was an unusually moving brilliance in his eyes.
