C37 (2/2)
After hearing what the Qin family said, Ji Qichi's gentle smile became more interesting.
”Did the Madam Gu really personally say anything about poisoning?” Ji Qichi put down the teacup to confirm.
The Qin family nodded, ”It was indeed what she said.”
”That Madam Qin might have fallen into a trap.” Ji Qichi's lips curved into a smile. His face was fair and clear, like a snow lotus on a mountain without a speck of dust. Her smile was magnificent as if he was embracing the stars and moon.
”Is the news fake?” Qin family started to feel uneasy.
”Of course.” Ji Qichi confidently answered, ”Gu Xiang is cunning and cautious. With his methods, if he really wanted to use poison to threaten people to stay, he should have kept some poison that is not easy to diagnose. How would Yun Qianliang notice it so easily and even allow her to speak carelessly? It seems that Madam Yun had fallen into a trap, and Yun Qianliang was even aware that she had been infected by a poison for a very long time. ”
Qin family was shocked, her face turned white.
The poison in Yun Qianliang's body was definitely not related to just her life. If she followed the line of poison, it would most likely lead to many more things happening in the future.
Qin family uneasily twisted her handkerchief and rolled her eyes nervously, trying to think of a way to change the situation.
Ji Qichi took note of the reaction, the gentle and clear voice was like a cup of Spirit Calming Tea, soothing people's nervous emotions, ”Madam Yun, do not worry, Yun Qianliang's chess piece is related to the Jin Wang, leave this matter to me.”
”Military Advisor Ji means …” Killing intent surfaced in Qin family's eyes as he made a gesture with his hand around his neck.
”It depends on Jin Wang's decision.” Ji Qichi replied.
Ji Qichi went back to the Smokey Cloud Courtyard and wrote a note on the ground. She then blew the whistle of a pigeon under the eaves of the house.
A moment later, the snow-white pigeon spread its wings and flew over, landing on his raised hand.
Ji Qichi wrapped the white cloth around the pigeon's body, and with a light toss, it flew away.
Ji Qichi leaned on the pillar under the roof and stared at the green grass in the courtyard, deep in thought.
Yun Qianliang?
Could it be that she was trying to survive under the protection of her mother and chose to hide herself, otherwise how could she know how to test the Qin family?
”Military Advisor, Gu Xiang is preparing to leave.” A man appeared in the dark.
”I know.” Ji Qichi dismissed the hidden guard and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Gu Yicheng retreated so quickly, it did not seem like he was doing in the past.
When the Qin family found out that Yun Qianliang was preparing to return to the Gu Xiangfu, she became anxious. Once she enters the Gu Xiangfu, it would be hard to take Yun Qianliang's life.
”Dashi, it's rare to come back, do you want to stay for a few more days?” Qin family held onto Yun Qianliang's hand and refused to let go.
”There's something I need to do in the manor, so I can't stay for long.” Yun Qianliang forcefully retracted his hand, and hid beside Gu Yicheng, not allowing the Qin family to keep him.
When they passed by the small path in front of the main gate, there was a man dressed like a gentleman standing on the small path while facing the wind.
He was sent by the Jin Mansion?
When Yun Qianliang walked in front of him, she looked around.
The other party nodded with a smile. His eyes were pure and clean, and his aura was clean and refined. He didn't seem like someone with a shrewd mind.
After Yun Qianliang left the residence, Ji Qichi followed the people from the Yun Xiang Mansion to send people out. It was just that he stood a little further away, like she was a spectator.
Yun Qianliang observed the people who were far away from him from the corner of her eyes.
”Qian Qian, let's go.” Gu Yicheng called out softly and held her hand, rubbing his thumb on her palm.
Yun Qianliang retracted her gaze and took her leave.
The two of them turned around and boarded the carriage that was already prepared. It was just that this carriage was very plain and did not have the symbol of a Gu Xiangfu.
After the two boarded the carriage, the people of Yun Xiang Mansion turned back one after another.
Yun Qianliang held onto Gu Yicheng's hand tightly, stopping him from speaking and instructing him to drive, indicated for the people around to keep quiet and listen carefully to the footsteps outside.
Only after everyone from the Yun Xiang Mansion had walked in did Yun Qianliang relax her expression and let go of Gu Yicheng's hand.
Gu Yicheng instructed the driver to drive, the carriage slowly drove away from Yun Xiang Mansion.
Yun Qianliang's face became gloomy, and along the way, she remained silent.
When she was at Xiao Sheng Yuan, she had asked around about Ji Qichi, but Gu Yicheng only said that he was an expert in strategy and strategy, and was an expert in the art of military force. He was one of the generals under Song Shujin, and as long as he had ambition, he would definitely become a pillar of the imperial court.
But when they heard his footsteps just now, they were clearly from the Martial Competition!
It was difficult to hear, but her hearing was extremely good, and she could still hear the sounds. But those who did not know martial arts did not excel in controlling their strength, and when they walked, the sounds would be heavy, and they would stagger along with the sounds they were used to, or their feet would be uneven so their footsteps would be different.
However, although Ji Qichi's footsteps were softer than ordinary people, it did not sound like the footsteps of a martial cultivator. There was one thing revealing that he knew martial arts, the strength of each of his kicks was extremely uniform, to the point that within the many footsteps, she was able to instantly hear the difference.
