First Lady of the Crown Prince Chapter 859

Chapter 859: Life experience (second update)

 Gu Jiao thought about this and slowed down her pace, lagging slightly behind.

 She did not follow in a hurry, but raised her eyes and took a deep look at him and the Black Wind King.

 There is no doubt that the only people who can make the Black Wind King so excited are the people of the Xuanyuan family.

So regardless of whether he answered or not, Gu Jiao was so sure.

As for who he is from the Xuanyuan family, Gu Jiao has a vague guess in her mind, but she still needs further confirmation.

 The Ghost King took one person and one horse...or to be precise, he took the Black Wind King. Gu Jiao was there by the way. She is now the Black Wind King's little follower.

They walked for a long time, left the forest, entered another forest, crossed a stream, and came to another mountain.

Gu Jiao never understood where he wanted to take them, and she felt like he was going in circles.

Gu Jiao expressed her doubts: "Where do you want to take us? Is it to where you live?"

 You tell me a direction and I will find it myself. I promise not to go around in circles.

 The Ghost King paused for several seconds, probably thinking about how to say those words.

 Then he thought about it, and he said slowly: "Look at the scenery."

 Take little Ah Yue to see the scenery of the back mountain.

 Gu Jiao: “…”

 Can we stop looking at the scenery?

-invalid objection.

Gu Jiao was sleepy, so she got on the Black Wind King's horse and fell asleep.

 When she woke up, she found that she was no longer in the forest, but in a large cave.

The walls of the cave were covered with luminous pearls, illuminating the entire cave dimly. The Black Wind King silently stood by her side.

  As for... the ghost king of the Xuanyuan family, he is not here.

 Gu Jiao thought he was guarding the cemetery again, so she stood up and went out to look for him. As soon as she reached the door, she saw him sitting outside the cave in the same posture as at the cemetery.

Gu Jiao saw that there was no repulsive murderous aura around him, so she walked over and sat down next to him.

The Black Wind King also walked out silently, as if he wanted to keep an eye on his naughty child to prevent him from being bullied by his old master.

Gu Jiao asked: "Um, can I feel your pulse?"

 It's so polite to talk to the boss!

 “I am a doctor.” Gu Jiao said.

 He did not refuse.

 Gu Jiao took his arm, put three fingers on his pulse, and felt his pulse.

 His pulse is strange.

 Injury is inevitable.

But it seemed that he was not just injured, there was a pulse in his body that alternated between strong and weak.

It was this pulse that made him burst out with unfathomable strength.

 Gu Jiao thought for a moment and said to him: "Your face is dirty, let me wipe it for you."

After saying that, she took out the veil and tentatively approached his face. Seeing that he didn't refuse, she felt relieved and wiped all the dirt off his face.

When that vicissitudes of life face was completely revealed in front of Gu Jiao, Gu Jiao's guess was confirmed.

 “I have seen your portrait in the library of the Imperial Master's Palace...”

"Who are you…"

Gu Jiao called out his name.

"Hey, hey, hey! Wake up! Where did that kid go?"

 In the small hut, Tang Yueshan was shaken awake by Shangguan Qing.

Tang Yueshan can understand a little Yan dialect, but he is not very good at speaking it.

 “Wha, what?” he asked in Zhaoguo dialect.

Shangguan Qing switched to Zhaoguo dialect for a second: "Let me ask you, where are your companions?"

"Huh? Who are you?" Tang Yueshan fainted when he entered the forest. He woke up just now. He had no idea what happened during the period, and he didn't realize that he actually met a man who could speak Zhaoguo on the territory of Yan State. The person who talks.

"Oh, forget it!" Shangguan Qing sighed, "I'd better look for it myself. That kid... probably went to the back mountain!"

Tang Yueshan looked at Shangguan Qing's back and had no idea what he was talking about: "Hey, have you seen my companion? A boy in Tsing Yi with a red birthmark on the left side of his face."

Shangguan Qing waved his hand: "Maybe he went to the back mountain! I'm looking for him too!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yueshan didn't bother sleeping, he quickly sat up, hugged his precious bow and arrow, and followed him.

 The night wind blew over, and Tang Yueshan became more awake.

They were in a small village in a valley at the moment, and the forest in front of them was where he and Gu Jiao were hiding just now.

“Little brother, may I ask what happened just now?” he asked politely.

Shangguan Qing said: "You and your companion were rescued by this ghost king. It's a pity that your companion was disobedient and told him not to go to the back mountain. He sneaked over in the middle of the night!"

Hearing that Gu Jiao was okay, Tang Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief. What's the point of sneaking away to the back mountain? There is no place in the sky or on earth that that girl would not dare to go.

 The more you say you can't go, the more she will go.

Next time you tell her directly that she must go to the back mountain for a walk, she will definitely be too lazy to go.

Tang Yueshan cursed and suddenly thought of something. He turned to look at Shangguan Qing who was wearing a mask and said, "Little brother, you speak well of Zhaoguo. Are you also from Zhaoguo?"

Outside the cave, Gu Jiao looked at the other person's face steadily.

He looks a little different from the middle-aged person in the portrait. He has gone through vicissitudes of life and has traces of time, but his outline and character remain the same as before.

 Gu Jiao called him again.

Probably it was too many years since he heard this name. He was in a daze for a while, and then muttered for a long time: "Xuan...Yuan...Qi..."

Gu Jiao told him firmly: "Yes, you are Xuanyuan Qi."

 “Dead…” he said.

Gu Jiao nodded: "That's right. Xuanyuan Qi is dead, but since then there has been a second Lord of Shadows in the world."

 "Dark...shadow..." His eyes were confused for a moment.

It seems that he has been stationed alone in the cemetery for too long, and his spirit is a little trance. Although he has not lost his memory, many memories have been faded and confused.

 Xuanyuan Li is the Grand Marshal, and Xuanyuan Qi is the General. The two brothers are both strong men of the Xuanyuan family, and they are both existences that make Jin and Liang Wenfeng fearful.

It is really sad that he has ended up in this situation.

Gu Jiao said softly: "It doesn't matter, just think about it slowly."

 He really started to think about it seriously.

 Gu Jiao did not disturb him during this time.

Liao Chen always believed that Long Yi killed Xuanyuan Qi, but in fact Xuanyuan Qi was not dead.

Gu Jiao was very curious, what happened between Long Yi and Xuanyuan Qi back then?

Also, why did he think he was dead? And why wouldn't he let “his body” be laid to rest?

 He closed his eyes and completely entered a state of selflessness.

Gu Jiao waved her hand in front of his eyes.

“You didn't respond, so if I attack you secretly now, can you still succeed?”

 Gu Jiao said, stretched out two fingers, and poked his eyes!

 He did not take any form of avoidance.

 Gu Jiao's fingers stopped just an inch in front of his eyes: "It's true. Forget it, just think about yourself, no one is coming from the back mountain anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of sneaky footsteps on the path ahead.

Gu Jiao glanced at Xuanyuan Qi, who was in meditation next to her, and signaled the Black Wind King to stay here while she went over to take a look.

This cave is in a remote location. You have to pass through the narrow gap between the two cliffs in front of the clearing, and then push through a patch of bushes and thorns before you can reach the trail outside.

When Gu Jiao walked out, she happened to bump into the person coming.

A figure appeared unexpectedly, and Tang Yueshan's bows and arrows were fully drawn.

 Gu Jiao said: "It's me!"

Tang Yueshan was stunned and looked at Gu Jiao intently: "Hey, ah... it's really you."

 Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have been exposed.

What?

 Are you so rough with your words?

 Like-minded people!

Shangguan Qing withdrew his gaze from Tang Yueshan and walked quickly towards Gu Jiao: "You didn't meet the old ghost king, did you? Hey? What's the matter with the blood on your face?"

Gu Jiao said without changing her expression: "Oh, young man, you are very angry and have a little nosebleed."

I will never admit that I can't beat that guy!

Without giving Shangguan Qing a chance to find any flaws, she continued: "Besides, I met the old ghost king."

Shangguan Qing looked unbelieving and firmly believed that the young man in front of him was bragging.

With this kid's skills, he will definitely be judged as an enemy by the old ghost king, and the old ghost king will tear him alive.

Shangguan Qing snorted: "Then tell me, where is the old ghost king? We just went to the cemetery and he was not there."

Shangguan Qing came to Houshan several times, and every time he met him at the cemetery.

Gu Jiao said narrowly: "So you haven't been to the old ghost king's lair? Are you a close friend of the old ghost king?"

Shangguan Qing was stabbed in the foot and said angrily: "He invited me several times! I just don't have time to go!"

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows: "Oh."

Shangguan Qing: “…!”

On the way here, Tang Yueshan learned from Shangguan Qing that there was a very powerful guy living in Houshan. He seemed to have something wrong with his brain and was extremely wary of martial arts practitioners.

 I don't know who is more powerful than me? Forget it, with two little ones here, it's not convenient to fight.

Tang Yueshan said: "Leave here first."

Gu Jiao looked at the two of them and said, "You go first, I have something else to do."

Tang Yueshan asked: "Aren't you going back to Quyang tomorrow morning?"

"Maybe I won't be able to go back. Just wait..." Gu Jiao was not sure how many days it would take Xuanyuan Qi to enter samadhi, so she could only pause and said, "Wait a few days first."

  She has an extremely strong intuition—she cannot leave Ghost Mountain, otherwise she will never see Xuanyuan Qi again and miss the answer she wants forever.

Shangguan Qing looked at Gu Jiao doubtfully: "You're not really going to see the old ghost king, are you?"

Gu Jiao said: "You don't have to worry about me. On the contrary, the assassins from Xie Xingzhou and Jianlu have gone back. Based on my understanding of Gongsun Yu, he will never give up. Early tomorrow morning, Jin Kingdom The army will enter the mountain to suppress the bandits."

Shangguan Qing snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, I have my own plan!"
