Quick Wear: Saving the Heroine Isn’t Too Easy!

After talking with Lao Liu, Gu Xici came to the side room to pick up Wen Ning.

"Aci, are you friends with the Sixth Prince?"

When Wen Ning saw Gu Xici come in, he stood up and walked to her side.

"Don't pay attention to that old six."

Gu Xici couldn't help but hold his forehead when he thought of the Sixth Prince. Apart from his personality, the Sixth Prince was a good person.

"Yeah, but it's thanks to him that he got Xiao Ren out of here. The poetry reading should be starting soon, so hurry up, or you'll get mushrooms if you stay at home all day."

Wen Ning took her hand and walked out. The poetry reading should be about to begin.

"Walk slowly, don't be in a hurry. I'll take you out when there's something fun later."

Gu Xici walked out of the room calmly. Look how happy the child was. It seems that he should take Wen Ning out to play more often in the future.

After the poetry reading, Wen Ning and Gu Xici were in a very happy mood, and would go to any banquets or events afterwards to join in the fun.

Although the capital city appears prosperous and bustling on the surface, there are actually undercurrents.

"Master, I am incompetent. My wife has been kidnapped."

Two men in black knelt on one knee in front of Gu Xici. They were the survivors of the Chi Lian Sect. At that time, the Black Armor Army had wiped out all the members of the Chi Lian Sect. There were also people in the martial arts world who coveted the Chi Lian Sect's inherited treasures and hunted them down.

Little did they know that the inheritance treasure of Chilian Sect was never just one item, but each generation of Chilian Sect Saint. At the beginning, due to negligence, the Saint died, and the inheritance treasure of Chilian Sect was long gone. Later, with nowhere to go, they could only flee to the northern border to seek refuge with the Saint's son Gu Xici. Fortunately, Gu Xici took them in.

"Who else in the capital city has snatched people away from you?"

Gu Xici was intimidating without even getting angry. How dare they do that? Was she, Gu Xici, being too kind?

"Young Master, calm down. Many of them are skilled in martial arts. And for some reason, the weapons in their hands don't feel right today. They have had them for more than ten years."

The man in black expressed his doubts. They were originally running a shop of the Chilian Sect, and the young master suddenly sent them a letter asking them to protect his wife. They took the task with a solemn oath, but in the end they disappointed the young master.

"Any clues? Who is he? Where is he taken?"

Gu Xici was not in a hurry to punish them. The most urgent task was to rescue Wen Ning.

"I don't know. They moved the people away in a blink of an eye. If we can't find any clues, we will come back and report to the young master immediately."

The man in black knew nothing about anything. This was totally beyond his expectations.

"You take me to the crime scene, and the rest of you hurry up and look for him. If anything happens to Wen Ning, you and all the people involved in this matter, humph."

Gu Xici didn't say what he would do to them, but the result would not be much better than death.

Arriving at the scene, Gu Xici looked at the messy ground.

Humph, there are quite a few people here.

"This knife mark seems familiar. Are there two groups of people again?"

Gu Xici looked at the marks on the wall, which were the same as the marks left by the carriage that was assassinated. The weapons of the Chu State had a curved hook on the tip of the blade, and when the curved hook touched an object, it would leave such a mark.

The other group of people is our old friend Xiao Ren. It seems that Xiao Ren has teamed up with the Chu State. A few days ago, the princess of the Chu State was seriously ill, and the imperial doctors were helpless. The fifth prince must have got the news from somewhere that Wen Ning's heart could save the princess of the Chu State. In order to be foolproof, Xiao Ren's people and the people of the Chu State kidnapped Wen Ning together.

Thinking about it this way, Wen Ning is really a popular person.

Wen Ning: Thank you, I don’t want to

"Go to the Sixth Prince's house and give this to him. Ask him to help find someone."

Gu Xici gave a token to the secret guard of Chilianmen, and then went straight to the place where Wen Ning's heart was dug out in the original plot.

The Fifth Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded, and Gu Xici sneaked in. Although the probability of being exposed during the day would increase, she couldn't wait until night.

"The Fifth Prince went to Qianzhai Pavilion again today to buy a large amount of jewelry. Seeing them carrying boxes of jewelry in, I couldn't calm down. Who do you think the Fifth Prince is going to give them to?"

A maid in green clothes said to the maid in purple clothes next to her.

"I don't know. Stop gossiping. Don't be too curious here. Just do your duty as a maid."

The purple-robed maid advised.

"Oh, I know, I know. Really, you always say that to me."

The maid in green kept her mouth shut and was sullen, ignoring whatever the maid in purple said.

After the two of them walked away, Gu Xici showed his head.

Jewelry, boxes, and Wen Ning may be mixed in.

Gu Xici took out the treasure-hunting compass and placed it in his palm.

"Jewel Jewel, where are you."

Gu Xici stared at the treasure-hunting compass until the compass needle stopped. Gu Xici immediately dived in the direction of the needle.

Gu Xici came to the treasury and fell into deep thought as he looked at the closed door and windows. It seemed that he had to learn how the owner of this mansion operated.

Gu Xici used his Qinggong skills to fly to the roof, then found a suitable place, and then peeled off the tiles one by one until he had a tile big enough for a person to pass through. Gu Xici stopped only then.

"No, not yet. Why are there so many jewels? Where are the people?"

Gu Xici opened box after box, but Wen Ning was not inside.

Gu Xici touched the vase next to him that seemed to be a mechanism.

"Sure enough, there is a secret room."

Gu Xici walked in and came out with a frown.

Wen Ning was not inside, but there were some gains as well. There were a lot of armors and weapons, as well as some secret letters. He did not expect that there were the Fifth Prince's men in the Jinwu Guards. You know, the Jinwu Guards are the emperor's exclusive guards.

Gu Xici returned to the roof and put the tiles back to their original positions one by one. Hearing footsteps, he quickly hid.

"Why did the Fifth Prince order that no one should get close to the pharmacy? Only the Fifth Prince and Doctor Xia can go in there. Don't they usually have to clean it? And there are occasional screams."

It was the same two maids from before. The maid in green continued to gossip to the maid in purple next to her.

"I don't know. You should know less. The more you know, the more dangerous it is. Do more and talk less."

The purple-robed maid advised.

"It's like this again. Can't you just talk to me for a bit? You always say things I don't like to hear."

The maid in green ran away angrily, and the maid in purple hurriedly chased after her.

After the two walked away, Gu Xici revealed a pair of eyes.

Pharmacy, screaming, Wen Ning might have been transferred there.

Gu Xici took out the treasure hunting compass.

"Ahem, Ginseng Ginseng, where are you?"

Gu Xici stared at the treasure-hunting compass. This should be possible, after all, ginseng is also a treasure.

The treasure hunting compass needle started to spin rapidly, but stopped under the threat of Gu Xici's eyes. Gu Xici immediately dived in the direction where the needle stopped.

Gu Xici arrived at the pharmacy smoothly. There were no screams, but there was a mixed smell of medicinal herbs and blood.

The door was not locked, Gu Xici opened it and walked in.

The house was full of dead animals. Some of the animals were in such a horrible state that their hearts had been dug out. The medicine table was covered with animal hearts.

Gu Xici endured the disgusting smell and searched for Wen Ning. He searched everywhere inside and outside but couldn't find Wen Ning. However, he found a secret compartment with a book inside.

Gu Xici opened the book, which contained many evil medical techniques. Heart digging was only one of them, and there were even more evil contents.

It took Gu Xici a long time to calm down after he left the pharmacy.

"The girl in the next courtyard refuses to eat or drink. You said she is so beautiful, could it be that the fifth prince has kidnapped her?"

The maid in green seemed to be coaxed into submission by the maid in purple and started gossiping again.

"I don't know if you can just stop and worry less about other people and save more money."

The purple-clothed maid advised

"You always blame me for the money. What do you need so much money for? Just go back with your money."

The maid in green said this and ran away again. The maid in purple sighed and resigned herself to her fate and chased after her.

After the two walked away, Gu Xici did not come out immediately. He was accidentally stuck. Gu Xici struggled to come out and watched the purple and green figures go away. Why are these two girls here again? Are there no other NPCs? However:

In the next yard, the beautiful girl refused to eat or drink. I guess I can find someone now.

Gu Xici took out the treasure hunting compass.

"Wait, it seems you are not needed in the next yard."

Gu Xici put away the treasure-hunting compass and headed for the next yard.

Treasure Hunting Compass: Phew~ I escaped a disaster (Life is not easy, Compass sighs)
