Out of the city, Gu Qingci and others temporarily hid in a remote village and waited until the evening, when Lin Fangjian, dressed as a villager, arrived with people.

Xie Tian opened a crack in the door and saw that it was Lin Fangjian. Then he turned and nodded with Gu Qing.

The door opened, and as soon as Lin Fangjian came in, he put down his shoulder pole and said in a low voice, "we were very careful all the way, and we didn't find anything unusual."

With that, Lin Fangjian beckoned the people behind him to come in. Gu Qingci thought that the man behind him was from the medicine shop, but he didn't expect that the shorter boy was Gu Chengzhi!

Gu Qingci's face was stunned and exclaimed, "Chengzhi? Why did you come with me? "

"I'm sorry to see him scratching the young lady's head, but I don't want to see him again

Cheng Zhi put down the bamboo basket on his back and said, "elder sister, don't blame manager Lin. I have repeatedly begged him to bring me here."

As soon as he heard that there was something wrong with King Jing's residence, he rushed away in a hurry. However, after several rounds outside the king's mansion, he did not get any results until he met Lin Fangjian, who also came to inquire about the news. So he followed him to Renhe drugstore and learned everything.

Gu Qingci frowned and said to Chengzhi, "this is not for fun."

She was worried about Cheng Zhi's safety in the capital. What if something happened?

Cheng Zhi quickly said: "elder sister, don't worry. I'm very careful about everything. I won't be found. Besides, I'll follow manager Lin back to the city early tomorrow morning. I'll go back to the master's house secretly. I won't show any flaws."

Gu Qingci looked at the thoughtful Chengzhi and couldn't help feeling, "Chengzhi, elder sister has to leave for a while, you have to take care of yourself by yourself."

Cheng Zhi looked at Gu Qingci with worry on his face and said, "elder sister, I understand that you should take care of yourself."

He was very heavy in his heart, but no matter how many words he said, there was only such a light floating sentence. After all, he is nothing now, and he has no ability to protect his elder sister.

He must be strong!

At this time, Lin Fangjian came over.

Gu Qingci asked: "manager Lin, how is the situation in the city now?"

Lin Fangjian said, "fortunately, the princess left the city early. When we left the city, we had at least three times more guards at the gate of the city, let alone the king's mansion."

Gu Qingci wrung his eyebrows, "I don't know what's going on with King Jing's mansion? I'm afraid I'll get into trouble if I leave like this. "

Lin Fangjian said quickly, "don't worry about the princess. The steward of song sent a message saying that King Jing's house had been overturned and it was three feet short of digging. But steward song had nothing to do. Before others suspected him, he took people to kneel down and begged the royal guards to find Princess Jing. He also scolded the Liao spies with blood, so no one doubted him."

After saying this, Lin Fangjian added: "by the way, the emperor has blocked the news of the princess's disappearance. He only claims that Princess Jing is too sad and ill. However, the efforts to search the spies of Liao people have been greatly increased. In less than a day, many people have been arrested, and the servants of King Jing's mansion have been taken care of and tried one by one. However, the steward of Song said that there was him in the house, and he would not Something's going on. "

Gu Qingci nodded. The only one who knew that she had left the truth was song Chamberlain. However, she was not worried. She knew the steward's ability. After all, mu xuanjing was a very cautious person. If the steward had no skills, he would not be in charge of the whole King's house under Mu xuanjing's eyes.

Speaking of song housekeeper, Lin Fangjian said: "steward of Song Dynasty wants to stay in the house to deal with the aftermath, so he has no skills to separate himself, otherwise he will follow."

Gu Qingci naturally knew this, and then she asked, "what's the matter with the drugstore and the medicated food restaurant? Have you been affected by this? "

Lin Fangjian shook his head and calmly said, "although there are many watchers at the door of the medicine shop and the herbal food restaurant, the shops are still operating as usual. The princess can rest assured that these two shops have long been firmly rooted and have great influence in the capital. Even if the emperor wants to move these two shops, he has to weigh the consequences."

Gu Qingci raised his eyes and said, "I didn't expect that. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't catch me openly. He could only do things under the pretext of searching the enemy's spies. It was not reasonable. Naturally, there were many taboos. Moreover, before the national funeral, he made too much noise, which would only make the people upset."

Lin Fangjian nodded, "yes, as long as we are careful not to be caught, mistakes will not be OK, besides, very few people know the princess's whereabouts."

With that, Lin Fangjian patted his head. "I almost forgot that there was one thing to give to the princess."

He quickly took out a letter from his cuff and said, "this is a letter just received this morning. It was sent to the capital by Mr. Xiao. When the messenger saw that the king's house was sealed, he called the Renhe drugstore. There was no delay."

"Mr. Xiao?" Gu Qingci's eyes were slightly bright, "yes! It's almost time to write. "When Xiao Zhenghan left, he said that he could find all the necessary raw materials in about a month.

After opening the letter and reading it quickly, Gu Qingci realized that Xiao Zhenghan was waiting for her to take Zhuifeng in the ghost city, and the best time to open the wind chasing sword was before autumn.

"Thank God, do you know where the devil city is?"

Xie Tian thought for a moment, and immediately said, "princess, we are not going to Youzhou. We are just passing through Heming mountain. The ghost city is near Heming mountain."

Gu Qingci put away the letter and said, "in this case, it's just right. Let's go to the devil city first."

Xie Tian arched his hand and said, "yes!"

Early the next morning, Gu Qingci and others had already prepared the carriage and luggage, while Lin Fangjian and Chengzhi helped carry some things.

Gu Qingci directed calmly and discussed the route with Xie Tian. They should try their best to avoid searching by officers and soldiers.

At the time of parting, Gu Qingci looked at Chengzhi and patted him on the shoulder. "Chengzhi, the elder sister must go to Youzhou. Now my grandfather hasn't come back, the Gu family will give it to you."

Cheng Zhi clenched his teeth and nodded. He said, "elder sister, you must be careful."

Gu Qingci said with a relaxed smile, "don't worry."

Looking at Gu Qingci, who was haggard but still clear as a star, Gu Chengzhi clenched his fists. If it was not for his elder sister, he was still the mud in the ground. It was the elder sister who held him, taught him to face setbacks and let him choose the future road.

Lin Fangjian patted Gu Chengzhi on the shoulder and advised, "princess, she has never been an ordinary woman."

Gu Chengzhi nodded heavily, "I know."

He always knew.

Under Gu Chengzhi's gaze, the carriage gradually headed north and disappeared at the intersection.

Gu Qingci, dressed in men's clothes, leans on the soft pillow in the carriage, frowning slightly. She reaches out to lift the curtain of the car and looks at the scenery slowly moving back outside. The sun has risen, and the warm sunshine is sprinkled on the back of her hand.

She lowered her eyes, and though it was a long way to go, she was calm.

She knows that mu xuanjing must not be dead. No matter where he is, she will find him and take him home, just as he once did to he
