As the governor of a prince, Gu Qing's keen sense of court and politics is naturally much higher than ordinary people.

He knew how deeply the Wei Jian case involved court politics, and he also knew what would happen to those who slipped through the net back then if they were caught by the government.

The trouble now was that Bian Lingcheng was also the one who knew the secret. Gu Qing couldn't help but feel lucky that he had knocked Bian Lingcheng unconscious just now at the Jiedushi Mansion. The blow was really timely and it saved Huangfu Sisi's life.

But it's not enough. Bian Lingcheng will wake up soon. Once he wakes up, the secrets that should be told will still be revealed. There is an upright Pei Zhounan in the Jiedushi Mansion. If Bian Lingcheng reveals Huangfu Sisi's identity, what will happen to him?

Pei Zhounan's character will definitely be reported to Chang'an.

"Shopkeeper Du... uh, no, Miss Huangfu, let's get together and part ways. From now on, we will forget about each other. You run out of the city and escape for your life. I will continue to be my governor. It's a pity that I won't be able to see you again from now on."

I can't eat the food you cooked..." Gu Qing sighed heavily.

Huangfu Sisi looked gloomy.

She knew that what Gu Qing said was the best way. While Bian Lingcheng was still unconscious, she could run out of the city for her life. She might have a chance of survival. When Bian Lingcheng woke up and revealed her identity, it would be too late to run away.

, even Gu Qing cannot show favoritism, otherwise he will be implicated.

Reason is reason, but Gu Qing said such heartless words in front of her face, which still made her feel quite sad, and she felt a little disappointed in her heart.

Could it be that... I have misjudged the wrong person?

Huangfu Sisi quickly wiped away her tears and nodded decisively: "Okay, I will leave the city right now. Don't worry, Lord Marquis. Even if I am caught by the government, I will not harm you, Lord Marquis."

Gu Qing nodded understandingly: "We are all friends. There is nothing to say when we say goodbye. I will give you some money to spend on the road. Oh, by the way, everyone has left, so you should leave something behind. You

Do you want to consider leaving the secret recipe to me? This is very important to me."

Huangfu Sisi was furious: "Master Hou, you..."

"In order to express my gratitude, I can sing to you the full version of the beautiful line just now, which is the line 'Breaking up should be dignified'... If you feel lonely on the way to escape in the future, you can sing this song and talk about it.

For entertainment." Gu Qing said seriously: "...If you run out of money, you can still use this song to sell it on the street."

Huangfu Sisi became more and more angry. Why didn't he see before that he was such a scumbag who would fall out as soon as he pulled up his pants?

"No need, Lord Marquis, I will take care of myself."

Huangfu Sisi got up angrily and planned to pack up and leave the city.

Gu Qing suddenly grabbed her arm and sighed with a smile: "I'm joking with you, why don't you know how to be funny?"

Huangfu Sisi looked at him puzzledly, with a bit of resentment still remaining in his deep spring-like eyes.

"On my own territory, if I can't even protect my own friends, I will be considered a failure as a governor..." Gu Qing shook his head and sighed: "Besides, where can you escape? Bian Lingcheng will definitely wake up after he wakes up.

I will send troops to chase you, under the pretext of capturing imperial criminals, but I can't stop you. You can only run a hundred miles before you are caught by the soldiers."

Huangfu Sisi was stunned for a moment, then sat down absentmindedly, and said sadly: "The difficulty is just one death. At worst, I won't escape."

Gu Qing sighed: "What a stupid woman. As long as I'm here, you can't die."

"Master Hou, can you protect me?"

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment and said: "It's a bit difficult. I'll try it first. If I can't save you, I will send my personal guards to escort you away. With their protection, it will be much better than having you fleeing alone."

A smile finally appeared in Huangfu Sisi's eyes, her nose wrinkled slightly, and she smiled sweetly: "I know that the Marquis is reluctant to let me die."

Gu Qing calmly said: "Although it's a bit embarrassing to say vicious words at such a touching moment, I really can't help it... Dear, I don't recommend you to be sentimental here. As for me, it's not that I don't want you to die, but I'm afraid that you will do it.

The secret recipe of the dish will be lost. After all, it is part of the traditional culture. I have the responsibility to let it be passed down to future generations..."

Huangfu Sisi punched him angrily: "I will bring the secret recipe into the coffin and I won't let you know until I die."

Gu Qing said seriously: "I will rob the tomb myself. Archaeologists from a thousand years later will open your coffin and find that there are no burial objects, and you still have a black donkey's hoof in your mouth..."

Huangfu Sisi was so angry that she rushed towards him and tore his mouth open, but Gu Qingyi pushed him away with stern words.

The first kiss was caught off guard by her, but the second kiss must be reserved for Zhang Huaiyu no matter what, and the price cannot be lowered. Men must have a basic concept of chastity.

After a while of commotion, Huangfu Sisi sat down and worried: "What should I do next? If Bian Lingcheng announces my identity, Lord Marquis, you can't protect a court criminal in public, can you?"

Gu Qing was also worried, stroking his chin and said: "The main reason is that there is Pei Zhounan in Qiuci City. He and Bian Lingcheng are both people sent by the emperor to supervise me. It would be inconvenient to silence Bian Lingcheng.

Unless both of them are killed..."

Huangfu Sisi looked at him in shock. She had never known that the Marquis was so bold. Judging from his appearance at this moment, it seemed that he was seriously considering the feasibility of killing the two supervisors.

After a long time, Gu Qing sighed sadly: "I'm still too timid and can't do things freely... Let's find another way."

Huangfu Sisi let out a long sigh of relief, then glared at him angrily.

He is so lawless and has the nerve to say that he is cowardly.

Gu Qing stared at her face and asked: "Who else in the four towns of Anxi knows your true origin besides Bian Lingcheng?"

Huangfu Sisi shook his head and said: "No, he is the only one. This is the reason why he is holding me hostage. There is no way he can tell others everywhere."

Gu Qing thought for a while and said: "Time is tight. Once Bian Lingcheng wakes up, things will be difficult to control, so we must arrange everything properly before he wakes up..."

…………

Wang Gui was called into the backyard of the inn by Gu Qing. After Gu Qing gave a few instructions, Wang Gui left with his head held high.

Dozens of guards hurried out of the city and went in different directions, but Wang Gui gathered all the innkeepers together and looked at them with a cold face.

After a series of stern threats and a bloody scene where he drew a knife and cut off half of the table, the guys huddled together like quails in fear, and Wang Gui left with satisfaction.

An hour later, the guards who had left the city also turned around and entered the inn to give orders to Gu Qing.

After everything was arranged, Gu Qing dusted off the dust on his body and said leisurely: "It's time for the border supervisor to wake up. I should go and comfort him. The man with a missing part on his body is indeed in bad health. He falls into coma at every turn."

With that said, Gu Qing and his bodyguards entered the Jiedushi Mansion again.

This time entering the mansion attracted countless officials to watch, but the officials were slightly disappointed when they saw Gu Qing's face. It can be seen from his expression that Gu Houye did not intend to cause trouble this time, because not only did he have no expression on his face,

Instead of being murderous, he had a smile as warm as the spring breeze. When he walked into Bian Lingcheng's house, his smile became even brighter.

Pei Zhounan, who lived next door to Bian Lingcheng, also heard the noise and was worried that Gu Qing would do something impulsive again, so he hurriedly followed him into Bian Lingcheng's house.

Gu Qing walked into the room. Bian Lingcheng had already woken up and stared at him angrily.

Ever since he was knocked unconscious, Han Jie has been guarding him at the door, not allowing him to have contact with outsiders. Pei Zhounan wanted to go in to visit, but Han Jie blocked him.

It had been a while since Bian Lingcheng woke up. He got out of bed and wanted to go out, but was blocked by Han Jie.

In short, according to Guo Qing's instructions, no one is allowed to come into contact with Bian Lingcheng, and Bian Lingcheng is not allowed to come into contact with anyone. This means that Bian Lingcheng is completely isolated.

Bian Lingcheng was furious and yelling in the room, while Han Jie outside the door remained unmoved and waited until Gu Qing arrived.

As soon as Gu Qing saw Bian Lingcheng, he showed a surprised expression: "Bian Supervisor, you finally woke up!"

Bian Lingcheng screamed angrily: "Gu Qing, do you want to imprison me? What is the intention of the Jiedushi to imprison the supervisory army? What do you want to do? What do the Anxi army want to do?"

Gu Qing said displeased: "What did the border supervisor say? How dare I imprison you? You just fainted for no reason. I'm so anxious. I asked the general to take good care of you and don't allow others to disturb you. The border supervisor has a rest."

After so long, you look radiant now and there are no signs of sudden coma. This is all my credit."

Bian Lingcheng was so angry that he almost fainted again.

"I fainted for no reason." How thick-skinned do you have to be to say such shameless words without changing your expression? How did I faint, don't you know?

"Gu Qing, you beat the supervisor with evil intentions. I will report the truth to the emperor!" Bian Lingcheng screamed.

Gu Qing shrugged, turned to look at Pei Zhounan next to him, and said: "Pei Yushi is also here. Do I have evil intentions? Pei Yushi's words are more convincing. I hit you with evil intentions. You are so good at criticizing me.

It’s not small.”

Pei Zhounan stood aside silently, half closing his eyes to rest his mind. He had made up his mind that as long as the two sides did not take action and allowed them to quarrel, he would never help either side.

Bian Lingcheng also saw Pei Zhounan, struggled to get up, and said sharply: "Censor Pei, Censor Pei! I have important information to report. I know that there is a prisoner of the imperial court living in Qiuci City who has been on the run for many years. This case happened that year."

Involving the Crown Prince and the Right Prime Minister, this imperial prisoner is very important!"

Pei Zhounan suddenly opened his eyes, and his expression immediately became serious.

Turning his head and scanning the room, Pei Zhounan said in a deep voice: "Except for me and Mr. Gu, everyone who is not involved should leave!"

In the room, Han Jie and several personal guards remained motionless, as if they had not heard anything and were still standing behind Gu Qing with their swords pressed.

Pei Zhounan paused for a moment, looking very embarrassed.

Gu Qing smiled. The reason why Anxi is my territory is because the Anxi army only recognizes me as the coach and is only willing to obey my orders. Otherwise, wouldn't the training for so long be in vain?

After coughing twice, Gu Qing waved his hand behind him. Han Jie and other personal guards bowed, clasped their fists, and quickly exited the room.

Pei Zhounan frowned and said nothing, but Bian Lingcheng saw everything and couldn't help but sneer.

The general has such high prestige among the soldiers in the military town that he is not far from death!

"I wonder if Yushi Pei remembers the case of Wei Jian in the sixth year of Tianbao?" Bian Lingcheng asked.

Pei Zhounan nodded silently.

"The two major criminals in the Wei Jian case are Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming. The female innkeeper who was imprisoned by the slaves a few days ago was the one who slipped through the net. She is the daughter of Huangfu Weiming, Pei Yushi Mingjian,

Please arrest her as soon as possible."

Pei Zhounan looked at Gu Qing in shock.

Gu Qing smiled without changing his expression: "I'm afraid the Border Patrol Army has become confused after fainting once. The female innkeeper is my friend. Don't talk nonsense just to vent your personal anger. Especially on such a major matter, there is no point in talking nonsense."

He will be held accountable."

Bian Lingcheng said sharply: "Where did I talk nonsense?"

Gu Qing said slowly and authentically: "As far as I know, the female innkeeper moved to this city from Guanzhong a few years ago. She has a clean family background and is from a farmer's family. And... her parents are still alive, but she was given a sentence by the border supervisor.
