The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Gu Zhanghua bathed in the morning light and stretched comfortably.

"I'm half-believing, half-doubting, but it doesn't matter. The heroine's rescue is true, and she promised me to persuade the boss to accept the amnesty is also true. That's all!"

"Your Highness! You really are so carefree!"

"We have achieved our purpose in coming to Jiaoyang Valley, and I believe what the heroine said. The big boss had no choice but to become the Evil-Slaying Blade in order to cure diseases and save people. That's why the Tiandao League issued a killing order to the Jianghu. The Evil-Slaying Blade eventually fell into the hands of Liang Changping, a general of the Yue Kingdom. The teacher said that the leader of the Tiandao League, Hu Yiba, is the younger brother of Hu Yidao, the defender who died in Fengcheng! Who killed Hu Yidao? He died at the hands of Liang Changping! Hu Yiba must be hating Huang Huacai now. His brother's weapon is in the hands of the enemy. How can he let it go against Huang Huacai and Jiaoyang Valley? He won't stop until he torments them to death!"

When Gu Zhanghua said this, he pointed to his head in front of the secretary.

"I'm not being careless! I'm using my brain to analyze this! It's very likely that the Tiandao League is doing everything they can to tarnish Jiaoyang Valley's reputation out of revenge! That way, even if the government sends troops to encircle and suppress them, he won't have to take action. Huang Huacai and Jiaoyang Valley will both suffer a bad ending!"

Shi Shu exclaimed in astonishment: "Oh my God! This Tiandao League and Hu Yiba are too cruel!"

Gu Zhanghua nodded.

"So, I believe the heroine's promise. She doesn't want anything to happen to Huang Huacai and the people from Jiaoyang Valley. She will help me. I just have to wait for her news!"

As the two were talking, the city gate opened and a group of people rushed out of the city gate. The people gathered at the gate hurriedly moved to the sides to avoid them.

Gu Zhanghua stood up, brushed the dust off his butt, and was about to walk towards the city gate when he saw that the person riding on horseback at the front of the group was actually his second brother Gu Jiancheng.

Gu Zhanghua immediately waved his arms excitedly and shouted loudly: "Second brother! Second brother!"

When Gu Jiancheng heard the shout, he immediately pulled the reins of his horse and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw Gu Zhanghua running towards him and immediately dismounted.

Gu Zhanghua ran to Gu Jiancheng and hugged him.

"Second brother! Why are you in Fucheng?"

Gu Jiancheng held Gu Zhanghua's shoulders and looked him up and down.

"Fifth brother, I finally found you. Are you okay? Why are you dressed like that?"

"Nothing, I just wore it for fun... Second brother, is Father sending you on official business?"

Gu Jiancheng snorted angrily.

"What business?! I was planning to lead the troops to Yanwangzhai to rescue you! And by the way, I'll wipe out Yanwangzhai! You escaped from Yanwangzhai, right? Are you hurt?"

Gu Zhanghua was stunned.

"Absolutely not!"

"Why? Yanwangzhai has a terrible reputation. It's only a matter of time before it's destroyed! Just tell me if you escaped from Yanwangzhai!"

Gu Zhanghua waved his hands hurriedly.

"No, no, no! You just asked me why I was dressed like this? Let me explain now. It's because I had a great conversation with the leader of Yanwang Village about the surrender! We even had a bonfire party together last night! Everyone had to wear makeup! So, I remembered my second brother's wedding. He was wearing a bright red groom's suit, riding on his horse with great pride and dignity. He was so handsome! So I bought one like this and wanted to try it on to see if it looks good on me..."

The secretary standing by listened to Gu Zhanghua telling lies with his eyes open, so smoothly, and silently gave Gu Zhanghua a thumbs up.

Gu Jiancheng patted Gu Zhanghua's arm, then squatted down and touched Gu Zhanghua's leg, still a little confused.

"Is it really okay?"

"It's okay!"

"Are you happy to talk about the truth?"

"It's fun to talk about the truth!"

Gu Jiancheng suddenly grinned at Gu Zhanghua, looking so proud.

"I really looked so handsome on my wedding day?!"

Gu Zhanghua hurriedly imitated the secretary and gave Gu Jiancheng the thumbs up, both thumbs up, flattering him swiftly.

"In our Great Xia Kingdom, there is no one before us, and there will be no one after us. The most handsome man is you, my second brother! Otherwise, why would Ma Zhenzhen insist on marrying me in this life, the next, and the next?"

Gu Jiancheng put his arm around Gu Zhanghua's shoulders affectionately.

"I love what you said! As long as you're okay, I'll be relieved. Come back to Liyang with me!"

"Okay, okay! Let's go back together! Otherwise Ma Zhenzhen will worry if we're out for too long!"

Gu Jiancheng suddenly stopped and looked at Gu Zhanghua with dissatisfaction.

"What you just said is not quite right! Your second sister-in-law is attracted to more than just my looks! Appearance is secondary!"

Gu Zhanghua nodded quickly.

"Right, right, right! Ma Zhenzhen must have been captivated by Second Brother's extraordinary, unyielding character, and dashing, romantic masculine charm!"

Gu Jiancheng became even more dissatisfied.

"The words 'cool and romantic' don't suit me. They're reserved for your third brother!"

"Then let me change the word..."

The secretary who was following behind the two brothers couldn't help but roll his eyes to the sky.

He muttered, "How come he's become a completely different person after going to Yanwangzhai? It seems like he was quite traumatized..."

At this time, in the border town of Yue State, in the main hall of Qi Mansion.

The chief envoy of the Yue State's wedding delegation sat in the main seat, and several other members of the delegation sat below in order, each with a solemn and gloomy expression.

Master Qi stood in the middle of the living room, trembling with fear. Several maids and servants were kneeling behind him, all crawling on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Master Qi swallowed his saliva and tried to force a smile:

"Sir, I have already sent people to investigate. It was the villains from Yanwangzhai who robbed the Qi family that night! This time they were so audacious! Not only did they rob them of their money, they also took their women! They even kidnapped the princess! This is clearly an attempt to undermine the marriage between the two countries. It is a heinous crime! I sincerely hope that Sir, the envoy, will quickly return to Chuyang, report this to the emperor, and immediately send troops to destroy Yanwangzhai!"

The envoy slammed the table and stood up.

"Do you think you can completely clear yourself of any involvement by putting all the blame on Yanwangzhai? Dream on! We were staying at your house, and the princess was kidnapped there too! You must come back to Chuyang with us! Then His Majesty will make the final decision!"

Master Qi cried out, "It's unjust, sir! I have brought all the people involved to you. You can do whatever you want with them! Our whole family was knocked unconscious by those villains and we don't know a thing! You and the other lords of the delegation are temporarily staying at my house, and I have been running around to take care of you. When the princess was seriously ill, I even invited all the famous doctors in the city to come and treat her. The medical expenses alone cost nearly a thousand taels of silver..."

The envoy slammed the table again.

"Shut up right there! Are you crying poor to me? Asking me for money?"

Master Qi wiped away his tears.

"No, sir! I'm saying that I've done my best! The princess's affairs have nothing to do with my family... Why don't we report it to the authorities and have them send someone to Yanwangzhai to retrieve her!"

The envoy pointed at Master Qi's nose.

"Are you kidding me?! Report this to the police?! Are you trying to accuse me of losing the princess?!"

Master Qi slumped down on the ground.

"How dare I..."

"Three days, I'll give you three days. If you don't find the princess, no one in your family will survive!"

The envoy made some harsh remarks and left with the entire delegation.

Master Qi pounded his thigh hard.

"It's over, it's over, this is a big deal! How am I going to find it?!"
