Gu Jiao didnt know qinggong and couldnt shake off this group of experts.

Tang Yueshan sure woke up at the right time. If he had been a little later, she would have succeeded completely!

But one was also not bad.

The moment Gu Jiao leapt up the wall, the experts of the Supreme Commander Estate drew their bows and arrows, shooting a whole volley of arrows at Gu Jiao!

Seeing that Gu Jiao was about to be shot into a sieve, a dark shadow shot up from outside the wall and grabbed Gu Jiao's waist, deflecting the oncoming arrows with darts and helping Gu Jiao's body to land lightly on the horse's back outside.

"Go!"

The other party pulled on the reins and the horse sped away!

The horse galloped through the night for dozens of miles before stopping, at which point they arrived at the sh.o.r.e of a lake.

This was a lake where people came for sightseeing and spending a good time. With the green hills and clear blue waters, it was indeed such a pleasant scenery. In the daytime, some people would even board a decorated pleasure boat or go boating themselves on the lake, and the blue waves would make the lake even more beautiful to gaze at.

It was already the dead of night at this time. There was nothing here but a few empty decorated boats that had already gone silent.

Under the towering sky, there seemed to be only two people and one horse left.

"Did you shake them off?" Gu Jiao sat in front of the other party and asked.

"Yeah, theyre gone." The other party replied.

He had shaken them off a long time ago but to be cautious he drove the horse a little farther.

Gu Jiao raised her slender leg and she slipped down from the saddle.

With her eyes closed, she enjoyed the moist breeze of the lake and asked, "Why are you there?"

Gu Chengfeng also dismounted the horse and led it to the gra.s.s on the sh.o.r.e. While watching the horse eat gra.s.s, he replied, "Right, why am I there? Can't I just be strolling around then stumble upon you? "

"Oh." Gu Jiao walked across the lawn, sat down on a stone step on the sh.o.r.e, picked up a broken piece of tile and threw it towards the lake.

The piece of tile skipped over the water for seven or eight times before sinking into the water.

Gu Jiao wasnt satisfied and said with a sigh, "Ive regressed."

Gu Chengfeng felt the corner of his mouth twitch. With your thin arm, to make it skip seven or eight times was already very unbelievable, alright?

Seeing the horse was eating gra.s.s happily, Gu Chengfeng left it alone, went over to Gu Jiao's side and found a small stone to show her the strength of a man.

The result

Pa! Pa! Pa!

It skipped over the water three times.

Gu Chengfeng was embarra.s.sed.

"Haha!" Gu Jiao suddenly burst out laughing.

She sure laughed at strange things.

Often, she didnt find the thing that caused everyone to laugh funny, but sometimes a very small thing would make her laugh like a child.

It was the first time Gu Chengfeng saw her laugh heartily like this.

"Childis.h.!.+"

Gu Chengfeng rolled his eyes and sat down on the steps beside her.

Gu Jiao picked up another small piece of tile to throw over the water.

Gu Chengfeng hesitated for a moment but still asked, "Why didn't you look for me?"

Gu Jiao asked curiously, "Why should I look for you?"

Gu Chengfeng snorted, "Don't you like squeezing out my money? How come you suddenly didnt think of it for such a dangerous thing?"

Gu Chengfeng was just casually muttering a few words, but he suddenly fell silent after he was done speaking.

Was it because it was too dangerous so she didnt look for him? This girl still had that bit of conscience?

Gu Jiao sighed and said, "Alas, you're such a weakling, I'm afraid youll just drag me down."

Gu Chengfeng!!!

Was he almost touched for nothing? This was clearly a heartless girl, okay!

Also, what did she mean he was a weakling? Had it not been for him, she would have been shot into a sieve!

Gu Jiao continued to play rock skipping. Gu Chengfeng could see that she was in a good mood and thought she should have succeeded. He just wondered what she did to that guy.

Just as Gu Chengfeng was thinking about it, Gu Jiao suddenly threw a pouch into the river. She threw it so fast that Gu Chengfeng wasnt able to see it clearly, but hearing the plop sound as it fell into the water, it seemed that there was something inside the pouch.

"What's that?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

"You don't want to know." Gu Jiao answered.

Gu Chengfeng

Gu Chengfeng silently lit a candle for Tang Ming in his heart.

To be fair, Tang Ming deserved it too. Of all the people he could mess with, he had to mess with her brother? She wasnt this angry even when he set her up back then.

At the thought of Tang Ming, Gu Chengfeng remembered one thing, "Tonight, someone paid me a large sum to kidnap Gu Yan, and the client behind it seems to be Tang Ming."

"It's not him." Gu Jiao said without thinking twice.

"How can you be so sure?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

Gu Jiao replied, "Tang Ming is seriously injured and has been in emergency treatment. There was no way for him to instruct anyone to do anything."

Gu Chengfeng frowned, "If it's not Tang Ming, why did that person act as if the client behind him was Tang Ming? Is it to mislead people by deliberate falsehood? Or... to borrow my mouth to spread the story of Tang Ming coveting Gu Yan?"

Gu Jiao didn't speak.

As early as in the dream, when An Junw.a.n.g's exam paper had gone missing, she vaguely felt that there was a hidden force in the capital. In the past, that hidden force had nothing to do with her so she didn't pay it any mind.

Now, however, they involved Gu Yan.

Of course, this was only her guess at the moment. She had no evidence to prove that it really was the work of that hidden force.

Moreover, the other party wasnt necessarily targeting Gu Yan, but more like ruining Tang Ming's reputation by borrowing Fei Shuang's hand. Gu Yan was simply implicated for no reason.

The lighter consequence of implicating Gu Yan was Gu Yan being harmed, but this should not be within the scope of the other party's concern. The major consequence would be aggravating the conflict between the Supreme Commander Estate and the Marquis Ding'an Estate in the open.

Gu Chengfeng thought of this too.

The situation in the capital had always been complicated, but recently it seemed to become even more so.

However, the other party missed one point, that was, Fei Shuang knew Gu Yan, and he would never tell anyone about Tang Ming and Gu Yans matter.

"Gu Yan Is everything with him okay now?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

Gu Jiao paused and said, "Yes, just a little scared."

"Hey, girl." A thought flashed within Gu Chengfengs mind and spoke again, "Who are you? Where did you come from?"

In any case, he didnt believe that she was the same little fool who lived among the common people.

"Me." Gu Jiao felt the broken piece of tile in her hand. It was rare for her not to avoid this topic. She pointed to the distant sky and said, "I'm from there."

"There? Where?" Gu Chengfeng followed the direction of her finger and saw only a vast sea of stars.

Gu Jiao stared at the starry sky, saying, "A place far, far away, across time and s.p.a.ce, and possibly across the universe."

She had never said this to anyone before. Anyway, no one would believe it or understand it.

In fact, Gu Chengfeng didnt get what she meant either, but he believed her.

Gu Chengfeng said, "Then how did you get here?"
