Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 435 The Nanzhao Wizard Temple? The Holy Maiden? Just you wait!

Looking at Gu Qingyue, Liu Feng felt very comforted. Seeing her getting better and better, he could finally give an explanation to Sect Leader Liu.

She felt comforted, especially knowing that she had been betrothed to the Prince of Li.

King Nali is handsome and skilled in martial arts. He is also very protective of his junior sister. Master should be able to rest assured now!

"By the way, why did you suddenly ask me to bring so many people? Aren't you going back to Lizhou? Didn't you say in your last letter that you were going back to the Moon Shadow Pavilion base?"

The base is almost finished with renovations, and everyone has gone there, except for Rong Qingqing, who is still managing the Wenxianglou business in Lizhou.

Everyone was overjoyed to know that Gu Qingyue was coming back, but then a letter came instructing them to bring their people to meet her in Meng County.

I won't tell my junior sister how disappointed those guys who stayed at the base for training were.

In short, everyone was so eager to see her that their eyes were practically popping out of their heads, especially the newcomers who had never met Gu Qingyue before.

I heard that their leader, Yueying, is a woman, and quite young, but she is highly skilled in martial arts and has unparalleled wisdom. I am genuinely happy and proud.

But alas, things changed so easily; let's just let them wait a little longer.

Remembering his junior sister's urgent letter requesting the transfer of people, he figured that, given Gu Qingyue's personality, something big must have happened.

So he quickly led his men over without rest. Could it be that something serious has happened?

Gu Qingyue nodded. Of course, it was not appropriate to write it clearly in a letter, so she had to make it clear in person and give Liu Feng and the others some time to prepare.

So Gu Qingyue told Liu Feng in detail what happened on her way out of the capital, down to the smallest detail.

"What? The Holy Maiden of Nanzhao wants to capture you? You speculate that it's to threaten King Li?" Liu Feng was shocked.

The Nanzhao Wizard Temple is going way too far!

How dare they plot against their sect leader!

"I'm not sure, but that's my guess. Otherwise, I really can't figure out why they would arrest me. If it's to deal with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, even if the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion collapses, how much impact will it have on the Great Chu?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Feng also became somewhat uncertain.

Currently, it seems more likely that it is King Le.

However, from a man's perspective, his junior sister was not yet the Princess Consort of Li. Even if he captured her to threaten the Prince of Li, it was uncertain whether the Prince of Li would accept it.

Even if my junior sister is killed or something happens to her because of this, King Li will probably still live a carefree life. She's just a woman, isn't she?

Of course, they themselves knew that King Li and his junior sister had a good relationship, but the people in the Wizarding Hall might not know that.

It's not that he's cruelly thinking this way; rather, this is the way most men in the world think.

He shared his thoughts with Gu Qingyue, who was now somewhat uncertain.

Although it may sound harsh, Liu Feng is right if you look at it from another perspective.

This reflects the mindset of aristocratic men in this feudal society: women were not that important to them.

Of course, at present, Mu Yun Chu is an exception.

Gu Qingyue rubbed her chin. If the Nanzhao Wizard Palace captured her not because of Mu Yun Chu, then what was it for?

suddenly!

Gu Qingyue stood up and paced around the room a few times.

She suddenly thought of a possibility.

The person behind Prince An had been trying to torture Qin Shi for years, and eventually, he tried to kill her.

Now it seems that Prince An has close ties with Nanzhao, so we cannot rule out the possibility that the people from Nanzhao were the ones who wanted to kill the Qin family.

I had speculated about this possibility before, but I wasn't sure which side it was.

Now, let's speculate boldly: could they be people from the Wizarding Temple?!

They wanted to kill Qin for 'some reason' but failed, so they turned their attention to themselves? Trying to capture her?!

Of course, she couldn't figure out the 'reason' yet, unless she went to meet the saintess or the great wizard!

Having figured this out, Gu Qingyue stopped worrying about it.

Whether it was to threaten Mu Yun Chu to achieve their goals, or to capture her and be the same person who wanted to kill Qin Shi, it didn't matter.

Since she's going to Nanzhao this time, she should eliminate this potential threat completely!

The Nanzhao Wizard Temple? The Holy Maiden? Whoever it is, just wait!

Seeing Gu Qingyue's sudden enlightenment, Liu Feng looked at her curiously.

"What did you think of?"

Gu Qingyue pondered for a moment, then told him about the fact that someone in Nanzhao wanted to kill the Qin family.

After listening, Liu Feng's expression became even more serious.

It now seems more likely that this is the case.

So the two of them whispered and discussed it for a long time, until half an hour later.

"Alright, that's all for now. You take them and set off immediately. If we still don't have enough people, I'll have Wen Qinglan bring some more."

To be honest, Liu Feng was a little apprehensive. If possible, he would like to personally lead a group to protect Gu Qingyue.

But there are a lot of things to do in Lizhou, so he can't leave for too long for the time being.

"Don't worry, I'll have Yue Ling contact you if needed."

"Oh, right, take some people to find Old Master Feng of the Feng family. His name is Feng Yao. I bought twenty brine wells from him and now I'm returning them to him to manage."

Send two more people over to help him. I've heard that people have been causing trouble for the Feng family for the past two years, and I'm afraid it will affect the brine salt factory.

Ever since he learned that she was a descendant of the old general, Old Feng wanted to return the money Gu Qingyue had spent to buy the brine well to her. He was willing to give the entire brine salt field to Gu Qingyue.

In particular, she cured Vice Pavilion Master Lu, which is an immense favor.

But Gu Qingyue refused, keeping things separate.

When you buy something, you naturally have to pay for it.

Even though my great-grandfather was once the head of the Ink Pavilion, that's all in the past.

How their relationship with the Ink Pavilion will develop in the future depends on Vice Pavilion Master Lu's thoughts; for now, the Ink Pavilion has little to do with them.

Besides, that brine salt plantation was Old Feng's life's work; she had no reason to take someone else's things without paying for them.

However, Gu Qingyue turned around and hired Old Feng to help her manage the brine well she had bought.

Old Feng hesitated for a moment, then mentioned some unpleasant things that had happened at the Feng family's brine salt factory in the past two years. He was afraid that there were people from the Mo Pavilion with ill intentions or other people who had malice towards the Feng family who were trying to sabotage the factory.

He feared that if he took over, those people would only make things worse and cause him even more trouble.

It would be good to have Liu Feng send someone over to assist.

After all, these brine wells are now an important source of income for Moonshadow Pavilion, so they must be protected.

Upon hearing this, Liu Feng couldn't help but give Gu Qingyue a thumbs up.

My junior sister's money-making speed is amazing.

He had long heard how profitable the brine salt from Meng County was, and with access to so many high-quality brine salt wells, money was practically flowing in.

After explaining everything, Liu Feng immediately took his leave.
