C7 (2/2)

However, just as he ran out of the garden, he ran into a group of people surrounding him. He made up his mind and took out his dagger to kill himself.

”Go in and search.”

Gu Yicheng rode on his horse around the small farmhouse slowly, his brows were filled with chill and calculation.

Gu Yicheng's horse stopped at a certain place and galloped northwestward a few steps, and then returned to the nearby roads to compare the slight changes to the sound of the horse's hooves.

Gu Si led his people and searched inside the house, only seeing the dead owner of the house, all of them were searching inside, sensing that something was wrong with the sound of footsteps, they moved the goods away and found the entrance to the secret passage. After sending people down to look, they found a series of footprints.

”Master, we found a secret path heading northwest.” Gu Si walked out of his house to report.

”The public roads of Yangjing City are often visited by caravans, so it is indeed a good place.” Gu Yicheng looked northwest, and said: ”Let's go!”

The group rode away, dust flying from the horses' hooves.

Halfway there, the leading Gu Yicheng pulled on the reins and stopped.

”Master?” Gu Qi pulled the reins in time to avoid the attack.

”Gu Si, you will be in charge of bringing your men to hunt him down. Try to leave him alive.” Gu Yicheng explained, and immediately turned his horse and head back towards the capital.

Gu Yicheng sped along, his clear thoughts clear as day.

He was rushing to the official road that led to Yangjing City, he would definitely not be able to rush back here before the city gates opened. If an expert were to enter the palace tonight to assassinate Yun Qianliang, it would definitely be hard to guard against them.

However, Gu Yicheng did not directly enter the capital from the city gate that day. Instead, he took a detour around a hidden mountain road and avoided Song Shujin's line of sight from the city gate.

As for Gu Si and the rest, they trapped and killed all of the merchants who were in pursuit of the spy.

Those people killed themselves immediately after being caught, so they had no choice but to disguise as the merchant caravan's men and ambush the spies at the secret exit, catching them alive.

A few days after the wedding, Gu Yicheng had been investigating the identity of the spy, as well as the purpose of infiltrating the capital, and had even tried to find the person who sent the spy news in the capital. However, the spy's mouth was tight, and after torturing him, he did not utter a single word.

Gu Yicheng was not afraid of people who talked back, he had ways to make them speak.

In the past two days, Gu Yicheng only cared about torturing the assassin, and every time he used torture, he would do it in front of the spy, in order to slowly destroy the defensive line in the assassin's heart.

My name is Wang Yan, and my old boss is from the north. Many years ago, he failed a mission and was chased after. The playful smile on his face seemed to be provoking someone, ”The reason Prince Qi sent you to Wanshen this time, was to investigate a person, and also to find something of value.”

”If Gu Xiang has the ability to investigate, why should I stay?” Wang Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes were devoid of life.

”This body doesn't seem to know anything.” Gu Yicheng smiled charmingly, he was in no hurry to question Wang Yan about his home in Wanshen, so he turned around and walked out, instructing Gu Si to greet the two of them.

Gu Yicheng walked out of the dungeon, and saw Liu An, who was following beside Steward Gu and listening to his orders.

”What happened in the Prime Minister's Estate?” Gu Yicheng asked as he walked out.

Liu An explained what happened this morning in detail, and Gu Yicheng's eyes became more serious.
