Gu Sheng looked over and saw Qi Wuxiao’s fingers moving away from the wall. When he saw him looking over, he bowed gracefully in Gu Sheng’s direction and thanked him again.
”Thank you for your help, Jiuzhoutang’s mission was able to proceed so smoothly this time.”
Qi Wuxiao was still smiling. After exchanging a glance with Gu Sheng, he looked at Jiang Yun. Naturally, he also saw that Jiang Yun was the “leader” between the two.
The smile on his lips deepened, with an unclear look in his eyes, and he asked softly:
”Speaking of which, I don’t know your names, ghost catchers?”
Jiang Yun looked back and replied lightly:
”Jiang Yun.”
”Gu Sheng.”
Qi Wuxiao looked at Jiang Yun in silence for a long time, so long that Gu Sheng thought that the other party could not remember his name, and then he spoke: “I am Qi Wuxiao.”
Jiang Yun nodded lightly and ignored him.
Gu Sheng blinked and looked at the scene in front of him, thinking to himself that he was worthy of being the protagonist and the future villain. As soon as these two ordinary sentences came out, he felt a full sense of gunpowder.
But he remembered that Jiang Yun and Qi Wuxiao at that time should not know each other.
If the hostility is so strong when they first meet, how can they be friends in the future?
Jiang Yun’s eyebrows jumped, and he tilted his head to look at Gu Sheng, and saw that the other party’s brows soon relaxed, and he didn’t take this matter to heart.
This is very good.
He did have a good relationship with Qi Wuxiao in his previous life, but this life is different.
Only Gu Sheng can stay by his side.
Jiang Yun’s fingers moved slightly, as if he just remembered that Gu Sheng was still in his arms. He let go of his hand with a calm expression. Just as he was about to lower his head and say something to Gu Sheng, he saw the other party pointing in the direction of the bed and shouting very loudly:
”Where is the head of the Ye family going in such a hurry to get out of bed?”
After these words came out, the room was inexplicably silent for a second, and then the “da da da da” footsteps of the head of the Ye family were heard.
Seeing the other party’s frightened look, Qi Wuxiao shook his head repeatedly: “Master Ye, can you still run away?”
Although Qi Wuxiao’s voice was gentle, it sounded like a death urge in Master Ye’s mouth.
Master Ye ran to the door without hesitation and opened it, and saw that the door was surrounded by people from Jiuzhou Hall.
It’s over.
He looked at the front with a dead look, and didn’t know where to run for a while.
At this time, Qi Wuxiao had walked behind the other party and slowly put his palm on Master Ye’s shoulder, which frightened the other party so much that he trembled all over. He wanted to explain but couldn’t speak.
The “life-threatening” voice was getting closer, right behind him.
Ha.
Qi Wuxiao looked at the cold sweat flowing down Master Ye’s head and smiled silently.
”Catch him and take him back to Jiuzhou Hall.”
After saying that, he led his subordinates behind him to take Master Ye away.
Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun were left in the room, and Lu Li was still lying on the ground unconscious.
Gu Sheng walked to a place not far from Lu Li, squatted down and poked the other person’s face.
Very good, he was completely unconscious and couldn’t be awakened even by poking.
He originally wanted to slap Lu Li, but for now, business was more important, so Gu Sheng turned his head to look at the place where the map fragments should have been placed, and looked up to ask Jiang Yun:
”Boss, what should we do now?”
Originally, they came for the map fragments, but now the map fragments are missing…
”Leave first.” Jiang Yun shook his head, retracted his eyes from the bedside, and walked towards the door.
But before he reached the door, he ran into Qi Wuxiao who had already left, and the other person was followed by two subordinates.
Gu Sheng stood up and looked over, not knowing what the other person wanted to do.
”Is there anything for Deputy Hall Master Qi?”
Gu Sheng frowned slightly, walked forward and stood abruptly between Jiang Yun and Qi Wuxiao.
”Hasn’t the mission of Jiuzhou Hall been completed? What are you doing back?”
For some reason, Gu Sheng always felt that the Qi Wuxiao in front of him was different from the one he remembered.
The other person’s expression looked too hypocritical, and it shouldn’t be like this.
Why did he change so much after entering the book?
Gu Sheng stared at Qi Wuxiao, and before he could start to think about it, he waved his hand to signal the people behind him to lift Lu Li up from the ground.
”Excuse me, I’m here to find someone.”
Qi Wuxiao raised his eyes, swept his eyes over Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun one by one, and bowed slightly.
”The matter of the Ye Mansion has been resolved by Jiuzhou Hall, please do as you please.”
After saying that, he left the room again.
Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun knew the relationship between the two, and they were not surprised to see someone being taken away by Qi Wuxiao. They walked to the bed without paying much attention.
Gu Sheng reached out and patted the mechanism under the bed board. It had failed, and there were no other secret compartments.
”Let’s go, there’s no need to stay in the Ye family any longer.”
Jiang Yun saw Gu Sheng’s actions and knew that he was looking for the map fragment, but it was obvious that the expression of the head of the Ye family before was not fake, and the map fragment was really gone.
So it was stolen by Qi Ye, but Qi Ye, who was supposed to appear in the Ye Mansion, did not show up now…
Gu Sheng thought about it and stood up, nodded, and planned to leave the Ye Mansion with Jiang Yun.
But when he turned around, he found that the room of the head of the Ye family was shrouded in fog.
”Oh no!”
Even if Gu Sheng had not experienced it personally, he knew that if this kind of fog appeared in the book, it would probably be poisonous, so he quickly covered his mouth and nose and looked at Jiang Yun at the same time.
Gu Sheng was about to remind the other party, but he found that the vision in front of him had become blurred.
”Boss…” Gu Sheng just managed to spit out a word, and then he fainted on the ground unconsciously.
——Gu Sheng woke up with a cold touch. Jiang Yun beside him was looking at him with his head tilted. Seeing that he finally woke up, he said:
”Gu Sheng, we were careless.”
Hearing this, Gu Sheng realized that the situation they were in was not right at the moment, and lowered his head to look.
He and Jiang Yun were tied with a hemp rope, and their bodies were tied to a pillar.
The people who tied them up tied the hemp ropes very tightly to prevent them from escaping. In some places, the hemp ropes had even worn through their clothes.
Gu Sheng struggled for a while, but found that he could not get free just as he thought.
After giving up resistance, Gu Sheng looked around again, and was more certain that the people who had captured them really didn’t want to leave him and Jiang Yun alive. It was not enough to tie them to the pillars, and the place where they were tied looked like a dungeon.
Gu Sheng sighed slightly.
He and Jiang Yun had never offended Qi Ye, so why did the other party want them to die so much?
No wonder Qi Ye had never appeared in the Ye Mansion before, it turned out that he was waiting for this moment.
Gu Sheng didn’t need to think about it to know that it was Qi Ye who did it. After all, the group of subordinates of the head of the Ye family had been dealt with by the people brought by Qi Wuxiao, and the other people in the Ye Mansion couldn’t cause any big waves. The only two possibilities were Qi Ye and Qi Wuxiao.
If Qi Wuxiao really wanted to kidnap them, he naturally wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble, and could just kidnap them and take them back to Jiuzhou Hall openly.
But fortunately, where Jiang Yun was, all problems were not a problem, so Gu Sheng was not panicked.
A few seconds later, a sound of footsteps came from not far away.
”Da Da Da.”
It sounded like the other party was walking down the stairs slowly. Gu Sheng looked in the direction of the footsteps and saw a figure coming from the top of the stairs. He looked very familiar.
He blinked, and the figure of the person he met in front of the “guest room” not long ago flashed in his mind.
But the other party was not as disheveled and in a bad mental state as before.
The man in front of him just looked very crazy when he laughed, but his clothes were very eye-catching.
Isn’t he the “increasingly crazy” person mentioned by the head of the Ye family?
Gu Sheng laughed unhappily and suddenly thought of something.
Not only that, the other party is exactly the same as the groom in the illusion.
”Hey, isn’t this the young master Qi who stole the treasure of the Ye family? Why are you here?”
Gu Sheng pursed his lips at the other party and lowered his eyes to indicate the rope on his body.
”Is this your masterpiece?”
Qi Ye didn’t expect Gu Sheng to guess his identity at once, and he couldn’t help but be stunned for two seconds. As a result, he sneered after hearing the other party’s stupid question.
”Ha.”
”Since I’m already standing here, isn’t that enough to explain something?”
Qi Ye looked at Gu Sheng through the iron bars of the prison. Gu Sheng found that the other party was holding a dagger in his hand, which was sharpened very sharply. It was obviously brought here to deal with him and Jiang Yun.
”If you want to blame someone, blame your timing.”
The other party whispered.
”But I have to thank you.”
Qi Ye slowly approached the door with the dagger, and waved it in the direction of Gu Sheng, as if thinking about where to start.
”This dagger was originally prepared for that old thing. Now, thanks to you, the old thing has been taken away by Jiuzhou Hall.”
”To show my gratitude, I will use the dagger on you.”
Gu Sheng: … That’s not necessary.
”So you also killed Ye Wan’er.”
Gu Sheng lowered his head and murmured, his voice was not loud but Qi Ye heard it.
”What if I tell you?”
”Ye Wan’er was killed by me and that old man, but I’m not the mastermind.”
Perhaps thinking that Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun could not escape, the other party answered Gu Sheng’s doubts very “considerately”.
”Originally, I wanted the map fragment as hush money for not giving it away, but who knew that the old man would not let it go after hearing the words ‘map fragment’. I had no choice but to pretend to be crazy and sneak into his room late at night to get it.”
Qi Ye put his head in front of the prison door and looked carefully. After making sure that there was no problem with the knot he tied, he slowly opened the prison door and walked in, waving a dagger in his hand to intimidate the two people who were tied up.
Gu Sheng’s eyes were originally uninterested in following Qi Ye’s movements, but he didn’t expect that the other party would actually take out what he had been looking for for a long time from his mouth.
The map fragment.
Qi Ye showed it in front of Gu Sheng and the others and then put it in his pocket, saying with a smile.
”I’m tired of pretending to be crazy in front of that old man for so long.”
”Originally, after I got the map fragments tonight, I would kill that old man and fly away, but fate is so wonderful that you two met me in Ye Mansion and fell into my hands.”
”Therefore, I decided to take you away together.”
Without thinking too much, Gu Sheng knew that Qi Ye’s “take them away together” was definitely not what he thought. In a few minutes, the life and death of him and Jiang Yun was still unknown.
Gu Sheng lowered his eyes slightly and looked behind Qi Ye steadily.
”Qi Ye, guess, did we see through your plan of pretending to be crazy in advance and inform Jiuzhou Hall of it?”
”Qi Wuxiao is waiting in the dark for you to say these words and then take you down.”
