His expression was so ferocious that Gu Xiaowu was frightened so much that his whole body began to tremble violently.
After a long time, he carefully took the incense, lit it and placed it in the incense burner.
Elder Qiu Jiang stood nearby and spoke, "Now that we have found the young master, from now on, the Qiu family will reappear in the world and work hard to seek revenge in order to regain the throne that belongs to the Qiu family!"
Gu Xiaowu lowered his head so hard that no one could see what was hidden in his eyes.
After burning incense, he tremblingly asked Qiu Jianglao: "What should I do next?"
Elder Qiu Jiang spoke slowly: "The time has come, slay the dragon!"
Everyone in the room became excited, their faces filled with joy.
Elder Qiu Jiang stepped forward, patted Chen Siyuan on the shoulder, and said, "Although it was difficult for you to escape with the young master this time, you have also made great contributions. Quickly draw a map of the palace's defenses and the locations of the secret caves you dug!"
Chen Siyuan nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
Gu Xiaowu originally wanted to send a message to Zhan Yan immediately, but when he heard what they were discussing, he hesitated.
He immediately decided to get the defense map drawn by Chen Siyuan himself, otherwise, there would be huge hidden dangers.
Old Qiu Jiang asked his men to take good care of Gu Xiaowu and then left.
He immediately grabbed a servant's arm and asked, "Tell me quickly, what is this place?"
The servant quickly shook his head: "No, young master, you just stay inside the house, don't say anything, don't ask anything, otherwise, if you anger Old Qiu Jiang, you will be in big trouble!"
Gu Xiaowu frowned and interrupted, "So I'm not a young master at all, but a puppet? He captured me just to seize the throne under the pretext of revenge for the Qiu family?"
The servant was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and begged, "Young Master, please don't say that. You are of a very high status, and those elders are here for you!"
Gu Xiaowu sneered and ignored him.
The servant hesitated, not daring to say anything, but then he heard him ask again, "Didn't they say they've captured Feng Qian, the master painter who could paint an old man at the age of three? Let me go see him!"
The servant didn't dare to hide it anymore and took him directly to the next room.
At this time, Feng Qian was playing chess with Sang Qiutang. When he suddenly saw him, he was a little surprised.
Gu Xiaowu walked quickly into the room, winked at Sang Qiutang and said, "You are the wife of Dali Temple Minister Lin Ran, right? I have met you before, and I even attended your wedding banquet!"
Sang Qiutang frowned, subconsciously glanced at the master beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
Gu Xiaowu introduced himself: "My name is Gu Yuan, and I'm the fifth child in the Gu family. You can just call me Xiaowu!"
Feng Qian said quietly, "It's impossible for Elder Qiu Jiang to capture a child of unknown origin. He must be the young master of the Qiu family in the portrait!"
Sang Qiutang quickly took two steps away, his face full of vigilance.
Gu Xiaowu ran over to the chessboard and said, "Are you guys playing chess? I can play too, and I'm bored, so why don't I play a game with the Divine Painter?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fiddled with the chessboard.
However, because he used too much force, he scattered all the chess pieces to the ground.
Sang Qiutang immediately bent down to pick it up, and he also leaned over to whisper in her ear, "Madam Lin, I'm sent by Marquis Zhan Yi. Don't eat dinner tonight. You must stay awake and be ready to escape at any time!"
Sang Qiutang's whole body was shaking violently, and his heart was beating wildly.
When she wanted to ask a few more questions, she saw that Gu Xiaowu had already set up the chessboard.
Feng Qian naturally refused to play with him and turned his back without saying a word.
Gu Xiaowu felt bored, so he stood up and said, "It's boring. I might as well go back to sleep. I'm leaving now!"
After seeing him leave, Feng Qian said coldly, "I never thought the traitor was kept in the Gu family. Now that Elder Qiu Jiang has found him, I'm afraid the capital is about to be engulfed in bloodshed again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped himself again: "It's all my fault. How could I have such a unique skill? I might as well cut off this wrist and see who will come to me to paint like a three-year-old in the future!"
Feng Qian did what he said and immediately took the tea bowl and smashed it hard on his wrist.
Sang Qiutang quickly hugged his arm to stop him: "Master, don't be impulsive. He, he is not Gu Xiaowu at all, let alone the Young Master Qiu!"
Her voice was so soft that even Feng Qian almost didn't hear it clearly.
He asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Sang Qiutang leaned over to his ear and repeated, "He was sent by Marquis Zhan Yi, and he also told me to stay alert at night and be ready to escape at any time!"
Feng Qian was excited, but he didn't show it on his face.
His own life or death was not important, he was just worried about having implicated Sang Qiutang and causing her to be bullied by those bastards, and he felt very guilty.
He said in a hoarse voice: "If this opportunity really comes, Qiu Tang, don't worry about Master. Be good and run fast when the time comes. Don't let them catch you again!"
Sang Qiutang shook his head vigorously: "Master, how could I abandon you? We can leave safely!"
Feng Qian didn't say anything else, but reached out and rubbed the top of her head.
Gu Xiaowu started a commotion at night. He first knocked over the candle, and then took advantage of the chaos to pass on the signal unique to the Jinyiwei.
Zhan Yan quickly found out the exact location and immediately led his men to surround them.
Elder Qiu Jiang was still in the dark. He was asking Chen Siyuan about the specific details of the defense map. He asked in shock, "How could you have dug so many secret holes in the palace in the past few years?"
Chen Siyuan nodded. "Of course. One more secret cave means one more opportunity. Old Qiu, we have a deal. After we support the young master to ascend the throne, you will be the regent, and I will be the imperial tutor. My contributions are no less than yours!"
Old Qiu Jiang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Of course. I will engrave all your great achievements in the book so that the Qiu family's descendants will remember them for generations to come!"
Just as Chen Siyuan was about to say something else, the door was knocked open from outside. Then Gu Xiaowu said in a panic, "It's on fire! The yard where I live suddenly caught fire. Go and have a look!"
Qiu Jianglao's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately stuffed the defense map into his arms.
Chen Siyuan walked out with him, but as soon as they walked out of the door, they were tripped by a pair of feet that appeared out of nowhere.
Gu Xiaowu immediately stepped forward and helped the two of them up: "Are you okay?"
Qiu Jiang Lao shook his head vigorously: "It's okay. Why did the fire suddenly catch fire out of nowhere? What did you do?"
Gu Xiaowu argued aggrievedly: "I didn't do anything. I was sleeping soundly, and I didn't know that the surrounding area was already on fire!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting all around, which scared Qiu Jianglao and Chen Siyuan to death.
The two looked at each other and said, "Exposed!"
