Chapter 137: Go back to Gumo
Chapter 137 Returning to the Ancient Mill
This day is the seventh day that Ruan Youqing and others returned from Gumo Village.
After discovering the small characters engraved on the stone gate, and after Ruan Youqing expressed his conjecture, Gu Changan resolutely took them back to Jingbian City first.
If the guess is correct, the reason why Li Yi waited for a year is because of the time on the stone gate.
And Ruan Youqing happened to remember that in her previous life, when she was taken to solve the mechanism by Li Yi, it was around the few days written on the stone gate.
So... Li Yi should be on his way now!
Thinking of this, Ruan Youqing felt a chill in his heart, and immediately opened the door and ran out to look for Gu Changan.
Even if there are still three days to that day...
They couldn't delay any longer.
Must... must find the secret there before Li Yi!
However, after knocking on Gu Changan's door and finding that he was not in the room, Ruan Youqing was a little anxious and prepared to find Li Qian.
As a result, I met Li Ange on the way there.
Judging by Li Ange's appearance... he should have come here specially to find her.
It's just that Ruan Youqing has something on his mind now, and wants to urge Gu Changan to return to Nagumo Village as soon as possible.
So, after Li Ange came in front of her, Ruan Youqing spoke first with an apologetic expression on his face: "An Ge, what's the matter, can we talk about it after I finish working for a few days?"
Li Ange changed her usual smiling posture, and her face turned pale. She seemed to have made a lot of determination before she grabbed Ruan Youqing's hand and said slowly:
"Youqing, my brother, he has come to Jingbian."
Ruan Youqing was stunned for a moment, pretending to be a little surprised and said, "The crown prince has come to Jingbian? Is it because of the emperor's intention?"
Li Ange shook his head, and continued seriously: "Brother Huang, he came here...it should be related to what you have to do in the past few days. He wrote to me to ask...you have...did something unusual in the past few days..."
Ruan Youqing listened, and said with a complicated expression: "What did you say..."
"I...I didn't reply." After a pause, Li Ange continued sadly: "Youqing, Brother Huang...but is he really planning something?"
Ruan Youqing smiled nonchalantly, patted her on the shoulder and said, "The prince is going to inherit the throne from now on, how could he plan anything else."
"But... but... But father, he is not very satisfied with the emperor's brother recently... The queen mother also wrote a letter to urge me to go back, I am afraid... If the emperor's brother, he will have a dispute with other emperor's brothers... Youqing..." Li Ange grabbed Ruan Youqing's hand With a little force on his hands: "If...something really happens in the future, will you help me..."
The words were not too direct, but Ruan Youqing understood what she meant.
Although it looks calm now, Li Ange, as a princess of the royal family, can smell something different after hearing some things.
The emperor did not send the crown prince to Jingbian disaster relief this time.
But the prince sent someone to stay in Jingbian a year ago, waiting for something.
If nothing happened, even Li Ange would not believe it.
In the past few days, she saw that Gu Changan and Li Qian have a good relationship...
And Ruan Youqing and Gu Changan fall in love again...
So...she was really scared...
Ruan Youqing's heart sank again and again, his expression was in a trance and he didn't know how to answer her.
Seeing that the other party didn't reply to her immediately, Li Ange immediately understood.
She... shouldn't force it.
「Youqing...I...」
「An Ge...I...」
The two called out each other's name in unison to try to explain, but they all stopped, and looked up to see that the other was ashamed.
Everyone has their own unspeakable suffering, Ruan Youqing suddenly smiled lightly, and this smile made Li Ange laugh too.
It is impossible for everything to go smoothly in this world, there are too many variables, it is better to cherish the present.
Otherwise, it is not a rational thing to miss your truest friend now because of what will happen next.
there's always a solution to any problem. If... she and Li Yi come to opposite sides again...
Then she tried her best not to involve Li Ange.
If Li Yi still has some humanity...
Shouldn't use his own sister...
At this time, Ruan Youqing had forgotten how Li Yi treated his biological father back then.
…
By the time Ruan Youqing found Gu Changan, it was already dark.
Before he could speak, Ruan Youqing said angrily, "Where did you go! I haven't found you all day!" Ruan Youqing originally wanted to mention Gu Chang'an only, but from the corner of his eyes, he saw the meaningful expressions on the corners of Li Qian and Yu Xie's mouths. After laughing, she changed her words in time.
Seeing Ruan Youqing's angry look, Gu Chang'an couldn't help laughing and said, "I blame me, I didn't say hello to you before going out. During the day, I took Yu Xie and the second prince around the city. See if there are any households that haven't distributed food. This busy... is a day."
Hearing Gu Changan's explanation, Ruan Youqing immediately calmed down.
She wasn't being unreasonable, but just because she didn't see Gu Changan all day, she felt upset.
Now that he knows what he did that day, the fire that Ruan Youqing had just dissipated immediately.
Seeing that Ruan Youqing's expression quickly calmed down, Gu Changan smiled even more, and couldn't help but continued to joke: "It seems that after we get married, I will not only report to the emperor what I did in a day, but also report to me. The little fox of the company must report everything in detail. Otherwise..."
Ruan Youqing immediately covered his mouth, leaned closer to him and put on a vicious look: "If Mr. Gu makes fun of me again, I want you to know what it means to be a girl and a villain!"
Gu Changan immediately smiled, grabbed her hand and said, "Okay, okay."
Looking at each other, Li Qian and Yu Xie, who had no sense of presence, couldn't help but said, "Miss Ruan has been looking for us for a day today, but what's the matter?"
"I'm not looking for you, but me." Gu Chang'an coldly glanced back at the two of them, and slowly corrected what they just said.
Seeing that he was going to continue the topic just now, Ruan Youqing rubbed his brows helplessly and said:
"It is true that I have something to look for you today. Today is three days before the date written by Shimen. If we want to be ahead of the prince, we have to go back to Gumo Village tonight and wait. Otherwise... if the prince goes first... we will It’s not very good to continue to investigate what’s in that place.”
The two sides have not lost face, so if they really meet, Li Yiruo will not let them continue to investigate on the grounds that he discovered that place first...
They really couldn't force their way in.
Unless Li Yi agrees to be together.
But how could Li Yi rest assured to let them go in together.
If King Nanjing’s final resting place really has some longevity medicine he researched, or… a treasure that is incomparably rich…
It's about profit, Li Yi will never allow others to divide it up.
Such a simple truth, Gu Changan and Li Qian naturally thought of it.
So, after Ruan Youqing proposed to return to Gumo Village tonight, they agreed without thinking.
This time Ruan Youqing brought a fan, and after preparing a lot of things she always had, the group set off for Gumo Village.
And when they had just arrived at the village, they heard loud thunder, and the pouring rain suddenly began to fall.
