That’s right.
In memory, Qi Yan hadn’t reincarnated yet, so the person they met in this illusion was the scholar Bai Qingyan from their previous life.
Gu Sheng looked at the scholar-like man beside him and nodded silently, and at the same time heard the other party say.
”I’m not guilty.”
Bai Qingyan stood up straight and replied in a very light voice, giving people a sense of neither servility nor overbearance.
But that group of people didn’t care about that.
”It’s not up to you to decide whether you are guilty or not.”
The man on the opposite side laughed sarcastically, moved his arm slightly, and the blade brushed across Bai Qingyan’s cheek, and then fell on his neck, full of threats.
”Bai Qingyan, think about your brothers in the Heaven and Earth Society, and think about the woman who is being tortured in the dungeon at this moment.”
”Are you sure that you are really innocent?”
”Ahem.”
Bai Qingyan didn’t reply after hearing this, but Gu Sheng next to him couldn’t help but make a sound.
”Don’t say it, I’ll say that you are really torturing and forcing a confession.”
Originally, Gu Sheng just wanted to stand aside and watch the fun quietly, but the other party was too arrogant, and he couldn’t bear to watch it.
”Using someone else’s brother and lover to threaten him to admit something he didn’t do, tsk.”
Gu Sheng said as he raised his head from behind, his eyes swept across the clothes of the people opposite him, and he spotted the word “Ye” printed on their cuffs.
It was very obvious, and he couldn’t ignore it.
Gu Sheng looked at the words and shook his head repeatedly: “I was wondering who was so arrogant, it turned out to be someone from the Ye family.”
Although he had never seen the Ye family settle in the capital during this period, this did not prevent Gu Sheng from mocking.
After all, there was basically no good person in the Ye family.
…Except Ye Wan’er.
”Who are you? Are you Bai Qingyan’s accomplice?” Originally, the group of people didn’t take Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun standing aside seriously, but what Gu Sheng said obviously angered him.
”In that case…” The man smiled and put away the knife. He looked at the three people in front of him who made him feel extremely uncomfortable with a cold look, “Catch them all and take them back to the Ye family.”
”Yes!”
The younger brothers who followed behind responded one after another. Perhaps they were worried about the Heaven and Earth Society. There were many of them. They walked forward and gradually surrounded the few people.
At this time.
”Swish, swish, swish!”
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air not far away. Several flying swords shot in from outside the door. Gu Sheng looked up. Under his somewhat shocked eyes, all the Ye family members who surrounded them were stabbed and fell to the ground.
Huh? There are actually foreign aids.
Gu Sheng was confused by this scene. Just when he wanted to turn around and ask Bai Qingyan what was going on, he saw that the other party’s body trembled involuntarily.
”Ning’er…”
Bai Qingyan shouted absentmindedly, lowering his eyes and walking forward.
Gu Sheng followed the other party’s movements and set his sights on the hilt of the sword. He saw the words “Jiang Ning” engraved on the flying sword.
This name is very familiar. Gu Sheng thought for a few seconds and then remembered that it was the name of Bai Qingyan’s lover.
At the same time, the other party is also the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society.
But didn’t the group of Ye family say that the leader and other members of the Heaven and Earth Society had been arrested? Could it be that they made up the story to make Bai Qingyan confess his guilt?
Or, in fact, the other party escaped after being arrested.
Gu Sheng thought about it and blinked, thinking that this possibility could not be ruled out.
He was actually looking forward to the scene when he met Jiang Ning.
After all, the other party was a very powerful woman in his book, but it was a pity that Gu Sheng had glossed over it when describing it at the beginning.
Gu Sheng retracted his sight from the hilt of the sword, and heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
He pricked up his ears to listen, and felt that the footsteps were very light. It was Jiang Ning’s.
There was another gust of wind blowing around him. Gu Sheng raised his eyes and saw that Bai Qingyan, who was standing in the same place, had already run out.
When he came back again, a woman in red was following him.
The other person looked very heroic, but her aura was different from what Gu Sheng had imagined. Instead, she was full of sorrow, but she was always smiling when facing Bai Qingyan.
Gu Sheng looked at her with some discomfort and lowered his eyes.
He had forgotten that Jiang Ning was different from before. After all, the Heaven and Earth Society was very turbulent recently, and they were all worried about Bai Qingyan’s affairs.
Gu Sheng stood up and stood back beside Jiang Yun, looking up at the two people in front of him who were accused of colluding with evil ways.
Jiang Ning also raised her eyes, and stopped with Bai Qingyan two steps away from Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun. After a long pause, she said, “Thank you for what happened just now.”
She came here when she received the news that the group of people from the Ye family came to the Heaven and Earth Society to make trouble for Bai Qingyan.
If it weren’t for Gu Sheng delaying time just now, Bai Qingyan might have been captured by the Ye family at this time.
”Don’t be so polite. Actually, I have something to ask of you.” Gu Sheng waved his hand, his eyes wandered between Bai Qingyan and Jiang Ning for a moment, and asked, “Are you two from the Heaven and Earth Society?”
Jiang Ning nodded after pondering, lowered her eyes to look at the Ye family members lying on the ground, and gestured to the two.
”If you have something to say, please follow me first.”
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, she walked forward to close the door of the Heaven and Earth Society and led a few people to walk inside.
There was a very obscure passage there. Jiang Ning turned left and right in front, and Gu Sheng stopped when he was about to lose his way.
Outside the passage was a relatively open area, with several tents stationed not far away.
Jiang Ning pointed with her hand: “This is our Heaven and Earth Society’s internal camp. It is very safe and remote. No outsiders will disturb us when we talk here.”
Gu Sheng looked around and nodded.
”It just so happens that my brother and I have just arrived here, and we originally wanted to find a place to stay in the Heaven and Earth Society.”
He frowned again, “But now it seems that you are the ones who are in trouble.”
Gu Sheng raised his eyes and questioned Jiang Yun with his eyes. After receiving the other party’s indulgent reply, he asked Jiang Ning: “Do you need help?”
”No need.” Jiang Ning rejected Gu Sheng’s kindness.
”This is originally an internal matter of our Heaven and Earth Society. The two of you would not have been implicated by us, but now…” But he was almost captured together with Bai Qingyan.
Jiang Ning clenched her fist lightly and bowed deeply to Gu Sheng and the others.
”Sorry.”
She stood up and looked up at the tent in the distance, waving her hand and said, “Come out.”
As if responding to Jiang Ning, everyone who was originally in the tent came out. Gu Sheng roughly counted them. There were not too many people, about 20 to 30.
”You two can stay here for a few days. I will come back to thank you solemnly after the matter is resolved.”
Jiang Ning bowed again, took out the flying sword and played with it in her hand, then led the Heaven and Earth Society people behind him into the passage and returned to the original place.
”Now, Bai Qingyan’s innocence will be proved by us.”
”We, the Heaven and Earth Society, can no longer allow the Ye family to be so presumptuous.”
——Gu Sheng didn’t know how Jiang Ning and the others handled the Heaven and Earth Society, but during the few days he stayed here, Gu Sheng’s life was very leisurely and happy.
Because he would practice sword and exercise with Jiang Yun during the day, and sleep in the same tent with Jiang Yun at night because of fear of accidents.
Every time he went to sleep, the steady breathing sound of Jiang Yun beside him would be transmitted to Gu Sheng’s ears. At this time, Gu Sheng would close his eyes and think about some unspeakable things, and by the way, think about when to test Jiang Yun’s attitude towards him.
It’s a pity that before Gu Sheng could figure out the matter, this good time would not last long.
After realizing that Jiang Ning and her friends had not returned for a long time, Gu Sheng and Jiang Yun realized that something was wrong. They walked out along the passage and “accidentally” found out from a passerby that the situation had changed dramatically.
The passerby said.
Since Gu Sheng and his friends entered the Heaven and Earth Society that day, all the people sent by the Ye family died on the spot, and the most powerful evidence pointing to the fact that the Heaven and Earth Society was responsible for this was the sword with Jiang Ning’s name stuck in the bodies of those people.
Now there is no one in the entire market who believes that Bai Qingyan is innocent.
The remnants of the Heaven and Earth Society have all been captured by the people of the Ye family, and Bai Qingyan, who is recognized by everyone as colluding with the evil ways, will be beheaded in front of the public today.
Gu Sheng was slightly stunned by this.
He thought there would be such a day, but it was still a bit sudden for him to hear this from that person.
”Boss…”
Gu Sheng looked at Jiang Yun. He was actually very uncomfortable, but his feet did not move.
After all, this is just an illusion, and they can’t save Bai Qingyan.
Gu Sheng lowered his head and followed the crowd to the place where Bai Qingyan was about to be beheaded, and heard the words coming from there.
”I have something to say.”
The familiar voice made Gu Sheng look up again, and he saw Bai Qingyan tied to a high platform in the distance, and the breeze blew his clothes at this time.
”My ancestors, Bai, have been scholars for three generations, honest and upright, and have never done anything unkind or unjust. Now I have ended up like this, I don’t recognize it.”
The other party raised his eyes and scanned the people around him who looked at him with various expressions, and the words he said were loud and clear.
”But this world is extremely dangerous, and people’s hearts are not as good as they used to be. You are numb and indifferent, and you agree with them, insisting that Bai is colluding with evil ways, and there is no room for redemption.”
”Then, do it.”
The distance was too far, and Gu Sheng could not see the other party’s expression, but he could hear a bit of resignation in his words.
”The world is so big, someone will seek justice for Bai.”
”Swish!”
After the other party finished speaking, Gu Sheng closed his eyes as if he had sensed it, and did not see the scene where the man with the knife dropped the knife.
It shouldn’t have been like this.
He frowned slightly, and was a little confused about why things had developed into what they were now, and why he reacted so strongly.
Originally, Bai Qingyan would not die so soon.
Originally, he and Jiang Yun would stay with each other for a while, and would become good friends with Bai Qingyan.
Originally… if this was reality, they would have a chance to stop this tragedy.
Unfortunately, this is an illusion.
What on earth is the map fragment doing?
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, and when he just opened his eyes, his palm was held by Jiang Yun.
Then, a flash of white light appeared, and the figures of the two disappeared together in the same place.
