Chapter 53 Refusing to Go to Nalan Mountains with Gu Anqing

"Forget it. There's no point in talking to you about this. Whoever raises a son should be responsible for it themselves."

Seeing that Gu Anqing's expression was becoming increasingly ugly, Lin Qiu'er guessed that he might not be able to accept her shocking views yet, so she decided not to embarrass him anymore.

For a family like this that uses the lives of their entire family to protect the border, they must have taught their children to be blindly loyal.

It is impossible to change his mind all at once now, we can only influence him slowly in the future.

Hearing Lin Qiuer's words, Gu Anqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as Lin Qiuer stops saying shocking things that could cost him his life, his heart rate will hopefully return to normal.

"When I was leaving the city just now, I saw Song Congyuan leaving the city. Did County Magistrate Song come to visit Old Master Gu while I was away?" Lin Qiuer decided to change the subject and talked about the Song family.

Gu Anqing calmed down and replied, "Song County Magistrate came to visit Grandpa at noon. We talked for about two hours before he left."

"Oh~ Mr. Gu, do you know what Old Master Gu and County Magistrate Song talked about?" Lin Qiuer asked.

Gu Anqing told Lin Qiuer that the Gu and Song families had reached an agreement.

The Gu family recommended him as the magistrate of Lingao County. In exchange, the Song family did their best to investigate the accounts of food, fodder and weapons and identify all the people involved.

"This is the best. Your Gu family cannot reach into the county government office to investigate the food and weapons account books, but as the agent of the county magistrate after his death, it is a piece of cake for County Magistrate Song." Lin Qiuer nodded in agreement with this cooperation.

Then he said to Gu Anqing with a serious look, "Mr. Gu, you also heard what my fourth brother said just now. The disappearance of the food and weapons was all done by the third prince's people. Moreover, they are still hiding in the Nalan Mountains."

Gu Anqing's face froze, he sat up straight and looked at Lin Qiu'er, and asked, "Miss Qiu'er, what are your plans? Just tell me."

Lin Qiuer glanced at Lin Nanyue who was lying on the bed. Although he was not feeling well, he was still looking at her with worry in his eyes.

She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It is unbearable for anyone to have someone sleeping soundly beside the bed, let alone this living person who hurt my fourth brother.

I want to borrow fifty guards from the Gu Mansion and go to the Nalan Mountains to kill those people. Of course, we can also transport the remaining food, fodder and weapons back to the county town."

"I'll make the decision on borrowing the guards. I'll go with Miss Qiu'er too." Gu Anqing nodded and agreed to Lin Qiu'er's request, while also requesting to go along with her.

Chang Qing looked at Gu Anqing worriedly. His young master was poisoned after going to the Nalan Mountains once. I don't think something bad will happen again if he goes there again.

His heart was filled with worries, but looking at Gu Anqing's determined eyes, he couldn't say anything to refute.

When Lin Qiuer heard that Gu Anqing agreed to lend her the person, she instantly felt relieved.

However, when she heard that he wanted to go to the Nalan Mountains together, she shook her head and firmly refused, "Mr. Gu, it would be better if you don't go with us."

"Why not go? My body has recovered, why can't I go to the Nalan Mountains with you? Besides, the matter of food, fodder and weapons is also related to the Gu family." Gu Anqing felt uncomfortable when he heard Lin Qiuer's refusal. He looked at Lin Qiuer in confusion.

Lin Qiu'er looked at Gu Anqing who was throwing a tantrum like a child and sighed helplessly, knowing that he did not fully understand what she meant.

She patiently explained again, "First of all, although there are many guards in the Gu Mansion, there are more than one group of people watching your Gu Mansion outside the mansion. For the safety of Old Master Gu, you'd better stay at home."

When Gu Anqing heard this reason, he was somewhat reluctant, but he could not refute it.

He was silent for a moment, but finally agreed, "I understand. I won't go."

"Besides, this matter will be handled by us in Nalan Village. When your king in the imperial city asks about it, we can also say that we found something strange in the mountains and asked you for help. You just sent people to assist us." Lin Qiuer continued.

"This way, people with ulterior motives won't spread the news that you have some bad intentions."

When Gu Anqing heard this, he couldn't help but think of those people in the imperial city who were good at making unfounded accusations, and he really needed to be careful in dealing with them.

He nodded in agreement, and at the same time understood Lin Qiuer's intentions.

"Finally, my eldest brother has been missing until now, and the people sent by Master Gu have never sent back any news.

If there is any urgent news while you are following me into the Nalan Mountains, I hope Mr. Gu can help." Lin Qiuer finally made her request.

Her eyes were full of sincerity and trust, and she hoped Gu Anqing could help her.

"Okay then. I'll stay in the county. If you feel you are unable to deal with those men in black, send someone back to tell me as soon as possible and I'll send someone to support you." Gu Anqing was completely convinced by the three reasons given by Lin Qiuer.

"What about us?" Lin Nanyue asked anxiously.

Lin Nanye looked down at the wound bandaged with white cloth and said calmly, "I can definitely go back with my little sister, but you don't have to think about it."

Lin Qiuer looked at Lin Nanyue who was eager to try with a serious face, and said in a cold tone, "If you still don't care about your life, I can send you to death next time."

When Lin Nanyue saw Lin Qiuer's cold face, she immediately lay down on the bed obediently, not daring to move, and no longer dared to have any delusions.

"Tell my third brother in detail the place where you met the man in black and the place where you can see the village." Lin Qiu'er continued when she saw that Lin Nanyue had finally calmed down.

Lin Nanyue nodded silently.

Lin Qiuer sighed and said, "My eldest brother is gone. You can't let my mother be sad because of your recklessness? Do you want my mother to cry over your corpse?"

Lin Nanyue had given up completely. No matter how ignorant he was, he didn't dare to make his mother sad. "Don't worry, little sister. I will listen to you and take good care of my injuries."

Lin Qiu'er saw that Lin Nanyue really listened this time, so she felt relieved and got up and left the room.

When Gu Anqing saw Lin Qiuer leaving, he also stood up and followed her out of the room. Chang Qing followed them silently.

They walked all the way to the main room and found that the servants had already filled the table with delicious food without them knowing it.

The food is so delicious that it makes you salivate just by looking at it.

"Mr. Gu, do you want to have dinner with us or go back and have dinner with Old Master Gu?" Lin Qiuer asked politely.

Gu Anqing recalled the news about the third prince that he had just learned from Lin Qiu'er. He had not yet told his grandfather, so he could only say with regret,

"Miss Qiu'er, you guys enjoy your meal. I still need to go back and tell Grandpa about the Third Prince, and I also need to report to Grandpa about sending guards to go with you to the Nalan Mountains."

"Okay, then you go and get busy first. The county gate is closed now, and we will set out for the Nalan Mountains early tomorrow morning. Mr. Gu, please arrange some guards as well." Lin Qiuer nodded to show her understanding.

"This matter is simple. I will send someone to notify the guard team immediately." After saying this, Gu Anqing left in a hurry.

Lin Nanye stayed in the room and asked in detail about the location where the man in black was hiding and the place where he could see the village, then he went out to have dinner with Lin Qiuer.

The next morning, just after daybreak, Lin Qiuer brought Lin Nanye and fifty guards from the Gu Mansion. They hung the food packages prepared by the servants of the Gu Mansion on their saddles, and left Lingao County at full speed, heading for the Nalan Mountains.

After entering the Nalan Mountains, Lin Qiuer decided to let everyone rest in place first, and ordered Lin Nanye to return to the village quickly and lead more tribesmen to provide support.
