The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 935 - 935 427 Rescuing (Two Updates)

Chapter 935: 427 Rescuing (Two Updates) Chapter 935: 427 Rescuing (Two Updates) Gu Jiao made a trip to Qinghe Academy and fished Gu Chengfeng out of the men’s restroom.

Gu Chengfeng was about to explode, “Can’t you stop picking me up from places like this?”

After a few more times, he feared he would become impotent!

Gu Jiao took him to the outside of a firewood room in the academy and insisted that he wash his hands.

Gu Chengfeng: …You still care about that!

Gu Chengfeng dawdled in washing his hands, and Gu Jiao, finding him too slow, dragged him into the small firewood room.

“What are we doing this time?” Gu Chengfeng asked with a lack of enthusiasm.

Last time he had risked his life helping this wench empty out Prince Ning’s treasury, and in the end, not a single gold bar was given to him.

He worked as her mover for nothing!

Just when he managed to hide one, it was snatched away by Xiaojiu’s eagle!

Even the eagle had the same bad habits as her!

How infuriating is that, tell me, isn’t it infuriating!

“I have something to ask you.” Gu Jiao casually broke off a twig and, squatting on the ground, drew a Twin Saber Sect emblem, “Do you recognize this?”

Gu Chengfeng was still resentful about the gold bar, and huffed, “Twin Saber Sect, what about it? Don’t tell me you’re planning to rob them too? Have you gone crazy with greed lately? Robbing everywhere, aren’t you afraid of exposing yourself?”

“Not robbing this time,” Gu Jiao said, “Are they very powerful?”

Gu Chengfeng squatted down beside her and said indifferently, “It depends on who you compare them with. They can’t be mentioned in the same breath as older Jianghu organizations like Qianji Pavilion, but among the newly emerging sects in recent years, they are quite prominent. What exactly are you inquiring about this sect for?”

Gu Jiao said, “Nothing much, it’s just that this sect might offend me in the future.”

What do you mean ‘might’ in the future?

Do you know them at all?

Are you skilled in divination or something, or do you have prophetic dreams?

Gu Jiao then asked for the address of the Twin Saber Sect and got a rough idea of their profile, and considering that the incident was still a long way off, she decided to keep an eye on them after some time.

After leaving Qinghe Academy, Gu Jiao took a trip to Hanlin Academy.

The road was somewhat congested, and by the time she arrived at Hanlin Academy, she was already past the dismissal time.

Seeing that the pastry shop hadn’t closed yet, Gu Jiao thought for a moment and approached to ask, “Boss, do you still have any Plum Dried Vegetable Cakes?”

The shopkeeper smiled, “Your husband took away the last few of the Plum Dried Vegetable Cakes.”

Because she was a regular customer, the pastry shop’s staff had come to know that Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang were a married couple.

“Did my husband buy the raw ones?” Gu Jiao asked subconsciously.

It was odd to buy raw ones, and her question was quite strange; she even thought so herself.

The shopkeeper took it as a reminder that she had given to her husband, concerned that he might have bought the wrong ones, hence her question.

The shopkeeper smiled and replied, “Yes, the raw ones!”

Gu Jiao thought to herself, could it be a coincidence?

In her dream, the day he bought the raw Plum Dried Vegetable Cakes, an accident occurred, but that was two to three months later.

Not every day one buys raw Plum Dried Vegetable Cakes will an accident happen.

Thinking this, Gu Jiao still decided to visit the place where the accident occurred.

It was an established rouge shop whose business was stolen by the surrounding shops, with very few customers coming and going.

Perhaps for this reason, the scene was well preserved, undiscovered and undisturbed.

Gu Jiao immediately noticed the dried bloodstains on the ground.

She squatted down to examine the trail and marks of the blood carefully, and images of him tumbling over and over again came to mind involuntarily.

Yes, he had fallen twice.

The first time he had tripped on the door sill, cutting his palm and arm.

The second time he had fallen a few steps ahead on the ground, where there was also a handprint from where he had braced himself.

In the dream, he only fell once, on a snowfield, tragically and was knocked out on the spot.

“What’s happening? Did the incident from the dream happen earlier?”

This was the first time Gu Jiao had encountered such a situation and was inexperienced; she wasn’t sure if her guess was right.

“This blood could also belong to someone else; if I’m mistaken…”

If she was mistaken, then so be it; she absolutely couldn’t gamble with Xiao Liulang’s life on that ‘if’.

If it wasn’t Xiao Liulang, that was for the best, but if it was, she also wouldn’t delay the chance to save him.

His hands must not be ruined, and his life must not be lost!

Gu Jiao followed the trail of blood all the way until it abruptly ended on an old street with sparse foot traffic.

There were two possibilities—one, the bleeding had stopped, or two, he was kidnapped right there, and moreover, he was not taken away using light martial arts, but left in a horse carriage.

Using martial arts to leap over walls would make it easy to be discovered during the day, and would still leave some blood traces.

But Gu Jiao had checked the exterior wall and found nothing.
