Chapter 131 The smell of blood
"Miss, we're here"
It was already past dusk and the sky was getting dark.
"it is good,"
Xuan Ling couldn't understand why the young lady came to the Governor's Mansion today. She bought some snacks, preserved fruits, and candies on the street.
Uh, would this prestigious governor like these?
Could this be something the young lady bought for herself? Is there any share for her?
"Stop, this is the Governor's Mansion. No outsiders are allowed to approach." The doorman looked like a martial artist.
"Please pass on the message that the General's Mansion is here to warm up the wine and pay a visit."
"General's Mansion? Please wait a moment."
"Miss, why are they so sensitive to the words 'General's Mansion'?" Xuan Ling asked in a low voice.
"I guess a tall tree attracts the wind."
"Please come in, Lady An Ning. I am the steward of the Governor's Mansion. I am here to show you the way." The steward brought back by the doorman said with a smile.
"Do you know the young lady's identity?" Xuan Ling asked Wen Jiu in a low voice
“Probably.”
Wen Jiu followed the butler into the Governor's Mansion. The Governor's Mansion was not as simple as imagined. There should be many people lying in ambush in the dark, releasing murderous intent.
Is this a wolf's den? A dark and windy night for murder?
Wen Jiu put his hand on Xuan Ling's arm, and Xuan Ling immediately supported her and said, "Miss, go slowly. You are not in good health."
"The old slave is waiting for the county lady."
"Thank you, Uncle Butler."
"Don't let the county lady call you uncle."
"Uncle housekeeper, what's that smell? It's so fishy."
"Oh, nothing, maybe a fish."
Bullshit, there are still live fish in the pond in this cold weather. Even if there are, it's not fish smell at all, it's blood, a lot of blood, giving off a fishy smell.
Was she reckless today? Now they didn't know she was here.
She told the General's Mansion to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion
Tell Qingli that she will come to the East Factory tomorrow
I still have to find a way to get Xuan Ling away, so that I don't have to worry even if I have to fight.
"Oh, Xuanling, I forgot to take the painting I sent to Duke Du. It's still in the Treasure Pavilion. Go get it, and be quick."
"Little...Okay, I'll be back soon."
"No need, the governor does not need any courtesy. It's already so late, and it would be a hassle to go back and forth. Please let the county lady in." Why does the county lady An Ning look so timid? What's so special about her that she deserves such praise from the governor?
"Do you have a menstrual belt here?" Wen Jiu's face turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes, just right, because his legs were so painful from being pinched.
"Well, this... there are no women in the mansion, so please ask this young lady to go and get it for the county lady." It's quite embarrassing for these eunuchs... men...
"Xuan Ling, please come back soon. Remember to buy some menstrual belts and ask the owner of the Treasure Pavilion to pack the paintings."
Xuan Ling agreed and left quickly. She knew the reason why the young lady asked her to come out first. It was probably because something was wrong in the Governor's Mansion. She had to go to the Treasure Pavilion. The Treasure Pavilion was not Sister Qingli's shop, right? There were eyes behind her. What should she do?
"Eh? Miss Xuanling, where is the county lady? I have something to talk to her about. I am Mrs. Lu who was trapped when the county lady went to Xiaoxiang for business. I just happened to come back this time to repay her." After saying that, he winked at her.
"Ah, the county lady has something to do today, I'm here to help her get something from the Treasure Pavilion, and by the way, buy her a better menstrual belt. Bai Zhi used to buy these, and I don't know much about them."
"That's easy to say, but why doesn't the county lady go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy things? There are many good things there too."
"I'll go with you and pick out a menstrual belt for you. I have experience with this."
"Then it's Mrs. Lao's turn."
After saying that, the two turned around and entered the Treasure Pavilion. They whispered, "The Governor's Mansion is in danger. Please hold your troops for now."
"The young lady just asked me to tell you that if she doesn't come out in two hours, find a way to go to the general's mansion and tell her where she went today. You stay in ambush outside and wait for my signal."
"Why do you want to change your mind? I have already arranged everything for tomorrow. Today's plans are all disrupted. What should I do if something happens to the master? Xuanying, yes, tell Xuanying." Qingli was panicked. After so long of investigation, she still couldn't find out all of Gu Xiao's strength. The master went there alone. Isn't this scary?
I should have thought of it earlier that the master would not stay overnight if it was a serious matter, but what kind of serious matter could make the master be so reckless.
"No, the lady said that Biluo Villa cannot make a move until the last moment. This is her last trump card."
"If the person is gone, what's the use of the trump card? Xuanling, let me tell you, if the master makes a mistake, I will kill you." Qingli's indifference is terrifying
"Sister Qingli, things shouldn't be as complicated as we thought. Maybe... maybe..." Xuan Ling looked at the unfamiliar Qingli, just like when he first met her.
"What? You can't make it up anymore. You are by the master's side, so you should consider her safety. If they have already started to kill her, do you think Xuan Ying will let you go?"
"I'm leaving now, but the lady said that we must not show up at Biluo Villa."
"Come back, the show is over"
Qingli accompanied her to buy paintings and menstrual belts, and rushed back to the Governor's Mansion as quickly as possible.
There is no obstruction inside, the murderous aura is stronger, and the smell of blood is heavier, Miss, Miss
At this time, not even a fly could get in or out of the Governor's Mansion.
Qingli outside couldn't hear anything, so she had to send out a signal for help from Biluo Villa.
Xuan Ying panicked when he saw the signal. It was the plum blossom signal that belonged to the master. It would only be released when the master encountered unprecedented difficulties. He put on the mask, grabbed his sleeves and flew out. Was this direction the capital? Was it that direction? Did the master want to test him, but didn't Qingli say tomorrow? That person...
"Mo Wen, I will go and scout and confirm the direction first. I will leave marks for you along the way. Arrange the most elite assassins to accompany you. They should be elite but not too many. Leave flares and I will support you when the time comes."
"Yes, Master."
"Master, nothing must happen to you!" The black eagle leaped at the fastest speed
"Uncle housekeeper, where is my young lady?"
"Oh, it's in the meeting room in front. Miss Xuanling, follow me."
Something is wrong. Why is the blood getting thicker?
"Miss" Xuan Ling saw her face turn pale, her chest was pierced by a dagger, and a large piece of her clothes was stained. She was horrified and almost went crazy. She threw away the things in her hand, drew her sword and was about to kill Gu Xiao, but after looking around, she did not see Gu Xiao's figure.
"Miss, Miss, how are you? Who is it? Who is it? I want to kill you?" She looked around with red eyes and missed the hint given by the warm wine.
Silly girl, look at me. Here, Wenjiu is sighing, and here, Xuanling is on the verge of going berserk.
There is no other way but to cough in Xuan Ling's arms.
"cough cough"
Xuan Ling suddenly calmed down, "Miss, Miss, how are you?" Xuan Ling saw her young lady blinked, which meant that she was fine, but she was still injured. She couldn't help but curse, "I said I wouldn't come to this place, but you insisted on coming. You can't thank Gu Xiao with your life. Miss, I will take you home. You have lost so much blood. Woo woo woo, Gu Xiao, come out here." Sister Qingli would peel off her skin. The young lady was injured again.
Swish, swish, swish, three bodies fell down and people immediately left and took the bodies away. No wonder they only smelled the odor but didn't see the bodies. It seemed that they were used to it.
"I have tolerated you again and again, you must not push your luck. If it weren't for... how could it be so severe?" Gu Xiao thought it was just a small scratch, but he didn't expect the dagger to have penetrated his flesh.
He even pulled the man aside. What should he do? If that boy knew that his beloved sister was injured here, he would be in big trouble. He would grumble so much that his head would explode. What should he do? What should he do?
