Chapter 129 Too anxious to eat hot tofu
"I don't think they will stop for the time being. There are probably quite a few children in General Zheng's mansion. If they want to find a substitute, they won't just find one, but train many. This way the success rate will be higher." Proton pondered.
"In addition, those evil cults probably took away quite a few children. This time they made too much noise, so they were taken to the Dali Temple. But there are records of missing children every month..." Gu Qingyun also said.
"We can't be sure that all these children are kidnapped by them, but... there is a high probability that they have quite a few children in their hands." Proton frowned.
He is not a saint, nor does he have the hobby of sacrificing everything for others, but he can't just ignore it.
The two of them discussed back and forth for an entire afternoon, but they didn't have any good ideas, so they had to give up. Before Gu Qingyun left, Proton said again, "If I come up with any good ideas, I'll ask Siyu to come see me."
If not...
Proton also didn't want to forget the hatred between the entire imperial city and himself.
They were all adults, Gu Qingyun heard the hidden meaning in his words, and left without saying a word.
……
A few days later, the children who had been found were taken away by their parents one after another, and the Dali Temple seemed to have nothing to do again.
The case at hand has already come to a conclusion, and we are just waiting for the other party to lose patience and launch a mutiny.
But Gu Qingming still had a dark cloud in his heart. He didn't know what to do.
He didn't want to give up the lives of those children, but he couldn't act on his own.
If he steals the child out now and alerts the enemy, he and his entire family will be destroyed.
"Young Master, the hostage has sent a letter." Xin Hai handed the letter to Gu Qingyun and pulled Gu Qingyun out of his memories.
"What letter?" Gu Qingyun opened it and saw that Proton's handwriting was extremely beautiful.
The general meaning is,
The spies he left at Zheng's house heard that there were three children in the general's mansion, one of whom was deeply loved by General Zheng. In addition to that child, the other two also had to study and learn calligraphy.
The other children who were brought in one after another were abandoned because they gradually became unqualified, and they were all thrown into several other sects.
Although it is unknown how many there are in total, what is certain is that if a mutiny is to be launched, the three young men will be taken to the battlefield.
The rest of the children have no fighting ability and will most likely stay in various sects with the women. Then Gu Qingyun will break through from the rear and abduct those children.
The hostage and the emperor will also try their best to protect the three young men.
Gu Qingyun looked at the short letter, not knowing for a moment whether it was sent by Proton to please him, and walked out of the Dali Temple in a confused mood.
……
Inside the mansion of Marquis Yong'an, Marquis Yong'an was sitting in a rocking chair and rocking. The Kyoto restaurant was under renovation recently and delivery had been suspended for a few days, which made him very greedy.
Today, the servant who had been running errands to buy food for him came back to report that restaurants in Kyoto had started selling food and they were very big.
Marquis Yong'an was eating food that he hadn't eaten for several days, staggering as he thought about having dinner in the evening.
Since his retirement, Marquis Yong'an has been almost unwilling to leave the mansion. He fishes and meditates in it every day and is unwilling to take care of anything.
Because of this, rumors often circulated in the world that he was already terminally ill.
"Master..." Gu Qingyun suddenly appeared on the wall, his voice was muffled, which scared the Marquis.
"You want to die, you little bastard. I, your master, want to live a few more years." Yong'an Hou crunched a shrimp chip and looked at Gu Qingyun with a toothache on his face.
Gu Qingyun asked sullenly, "Master, what should we do?"
The Marquis continued to crunch on his box of fried food and didn't want to pay any attention to the boy. If he heard correctly, was the boy acting like a spoiled brat?
"Master, please pay attention to me, pay attention to me..." Gu Qingyun was still clinging to the wall at this moment, his tone full of grievance and pity.
"Oh, ancestor, please stop clinging to the wall and come down quickly. It's scary." The Marquis said as he opened his brown sugar ginger tea.
Although it is a rare good day today, the sky is clear and there is some sunshine, but it has been snowing for almost half a month, and the coldest time is when the snow melts.
Gu Qingyun then turned over and walked into the yard, but he still looked sad. "Master, you know, they are too much..."
After the beginning, Gu Qingyun recounted all that had happened during this period.
"Just be nice." The Marquis finally concluded.
"What should we do? What about the lives of so many children?" Gu Qingyun said again.
"Didn't His Highness the Proton give you a solution? You can rescue most of the children, so why are you still anxious? If you don't force this group of people out, the entire Kyoto Prefecture will be killed in the future. Calculate how many extra people will be killed. Don't be sentimental. You are not a great man who can save the world." The Marquis sighed as he taught.
Gu Qingyun was stunned for a moment. It seemed to make some sense, but it also seemed like something was wrong.
He couldn't figure it out, so he could only sit aside and crunch the shrimp chips.
The Marquis glanced at him and said, "If you're worried, there are no cases in the Dali Temple right now. You can go and stake out each sect and each place for a few days to see how many people there are, where the children appear, and if there's anything unusual. You might find something you didn't expect."
It was noon, the sun was shining all over the ground, and Marquis Yong'an sat there comfortably with his eyes closed, completely ignoring Gu Qingyun's colorful face.
"Si Yu, you're here." A man's voice came from afar. Gu Qingyun looked up and saw the Marquis's only son, Qi Ningliang, the prince of Yong'an Prefecture.
"Brother, you're back?" Qi Ningliang saw through Gu Qingyun's unhappy expression and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
This time, Gu Qingyun did not talk incessantly, but just said that he wanted to have a child.
Then Qi Ningliang said, "Sister Li Qing of the Shangshu Mansion has several mastiffs. Mastiffs have a keen sense of smell. You only need to borrow one, and it will be easier to find the child. Oh, and the account book or something. You can capture Zhou Laizi and let the mastiff smell it. Maybe you can find other things he has hidden."
Qi Ningliang seemed to be joking, but also seemed to be serious, and every word he said was full of lightness.
Gu Qingyun listened to it. Miss An also had a mastiff. He could borrow the mastiff to look for it. Maybe he could find something unexpected.
Neither the Emperor nor the hostage wanted Gu Qingyun to alert the enemy, but it was still okay for Gu Qingyun to walk the dog in the city or wait in other sects.
Seeing Gu Qingyun leave happily, the Marquis was dumbfounded, "What nonsense did you say to him? What you said sounded like a child's trick. He was also anxious and confused, otherwise who would believe it."
Qi Ningliang smiled, "If he doesn't find something to do, he will always be like this. It's just to make the child happy."
