Chapter 589: 283 Siblings (First Update)_3 Chapter 589: 283 Siblings (First Update)_3 Gu Jiao fell silent.
Gu Chengfeng’s analysis was very reasonable, but it had to be believed. Gu Changqing had chopped Tang Ming first, which had seriously offended the Grand Marshal Tang. It was impossible for the Grand Marshal Tang to miss this golden opportunity to execute Gu Changqing.
Gu Jiao said, “We’ll see when we see him.”
Gu Chengfeng didn’t object, “Fine, I’ll take you in.”
Gu Chengfeng originally thought that as a Young Master of Marquis Residence, bringing a girl into the Military Camp shouldn’t be a problem. If it didn’t work out, he would claim that Gu Jiao was the daughter of Marquis Residence. There should be some level of respect for this fact at least.
But when they arrived at the gate of the Military Camp, the two were stopped.
The reason was that no irrelevant people were allowed in!
“What do you mean by irrelevant people? I’m from the Marquis Residence of Ding’an!” Gu Chengfeng got angry.
However, the soldiers refused to let them pass: “This is an order from the Grand Marshal of all the armies, we have no say in this.”
Gu Jiao slowly lifted the curtain, and handed out a badge: “I’m delivering medicine.” She pointed to Gu Chengfeng, “He’s our Medical Hall assistant.”
Gu Chengfeng: When did I become an assistant at the Medical Hall?!
The soldier took the badge, scrutinised it, and looked at Gu Chengfeng suspiciously, “Are you the Young Master of Marquis Residence or an assistant at the Medical Hall?”
Gu Chengfeng mumbled for a while: “Me… Medical Hall assistant.”
The soldier returned the badge to Gu Jiao: “Don’t stay too long, you must leave when the medicine is delivered.”
“Okay.” Gu Jiao took back her badge.
Gu Chengfeng was dumbfounded. How come? Nowadays, the title of the marquis’s legitimate son is not even as effective as that of an assistant at the Medical Hall?
The two of them entered the Military Camp. The Medical Officer who inspected the medicine was still the one from last time. After several interactions with the Wonderful Hand Hall, they were quite familiar with each other. Moreover, the golden wound medicine of the Wonderful Hand Hall was indeed more effective than the usual golden wound medicine, and he was very polite to Gu Jiao.
He knew that Gu Jiao was not the type to cause trouble. When Gu Jiao went out, he thought she was just going out for fresh air and did not stop her.
Gu Chengfeng took Gu Jiao to the punishment room where Gu Changqing was detained.
Tang Yueshan had ordered no one to visit Gu Changqing. However, today, the two were lucky. The soldier on guard recognised Gu Jiao: “Miss Gu!”
“Do you know each other?” Gu Chengfeng looked surprised.
“We’ve met once.” Once, when Gu Jiao came to the Military Camp to deliver medicine, she happened to help a soldier who had a stomachache and treated him without charging him any money.
Gu Jiao said, “I’ll go in and check on him, I’ll be out in a while.”
“Well… okay, Miss Gu, please hurry up. If my partner comes and finds out I let you in, there will be trouble.”
“Sure.” Gu Jiao nodded.
The soldier surreptitiously opened the door for Gu Jiao: “Go ahead, Miss Gu.”
Gu Chengfeng: Is this going to work?
The two of them entered the punishment room.
Gu Changqing was sitting alone against the wall, on a mat that gave off a musty smell. When the door of the punishment room opened and the glaring light shone in, he didn’t even lift his eyelids.
Only when he heard Gu Chengfeng’s voice did he turn his head with a stern face. Seeing that Gu Jiao was also there, his face turned even colder, “What are you doing here?”
It had only been a few days, but Gu Changqing seemed to have transformed into a different person. His cheeks were stained with blood, his lips were chapped, there was no sparkle in his eyes, and stubble had grown around his lips. The pale blue colour made Gu Chengfeng’s heart ache.
“You shouldn’t have come. Go back.” Gu Changqing forced down the surging emotions in his heart, turned his face away coldly, and ignored Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng.
However, the two of them wouldn’t leave.
Since they had come, they had to find out the truth.
Gu Jiao squatted on one knee by his side, put her small backpack on the ground, and took out a water pouch for him.
“I’m not thirsty.” Gu Changqing said.
Gu Jiao placed the water pouch on the mat next to him: “Why did you suddenly go to see Gu Yan? Who lured you there?”
She asked so directly that Gu Changqing was taken aback.
Gu Jiao said, “If you don’t say anything, I can find out by myself.”
Gu Changqing’s heart clenched, “Don’t investigate, don’t get involved.”
Gu Jiao looked at him and said, “Then you tell me.”
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Changqing closed his eyes and slowly said, “It was Flying Frost.”
“Cough!” Gu Chengfeng almost choked, “Fly-Fly-Flying Frost?”
Gu Changqing said, “That’s right. I fought with him, and I recognised the mask he wore and the hidden weapon he used.”
Gu Chengfeng retorted, “It couldn’t be him!”
“How do you know it’s not him?” After Gu Changqing said this, he suddenly realised something was wrong, “You know Flying Frost?”
It wouldn’t be strange if Gu Jiao knew, as Gu Jiao had fought with Flying Frost before, and Gu Changqing had told her in person that the man was Flying Frost.
But how could this spoilt second master who spent his time between the Academy and the Marquis Residence possibly know about a man from Jianghu?
“I… I heard it from her!” Gu Chengfeng decisively put the blame on Gu Jiao.
It was only at this point that Gu Changqing realised that the two of them had come together. Gu Jiao had previously learnt how to write from Gu Chengfeng at the Marquis Residence, though it was actually a fraud.
But Gu Changqing didn’t know about it.
Did his younger sister prefer his second brother more?
Gu Chengfeng: “Brother, believe me, it’s not Flying Frost.”
Gu Changqing: “How can you be so sure?”
“… Still her!” Gu Chengfeng continued to blame Gu Jiao, “She ran into Flying Frost last night and told me on the way here!”
Framing me time after time, is that possible?
Gu Changqing frowned and looked at Gu Jiao: “Did Flying Frost give you any trouble again?”
Gu Jiao said calmly: “No, it was just a coincidence, he was drunk, completely hammered.”
Gu Chengfeng’s mouth twitched.
“The man who fought with me last night didn’t smell of alcohol.” After thinking carefully, Gu Changqing realised that the other person’s moves weren’t actually very similar. His judgement that it was Flying Frost was mainly based on the mask and the hidden weapon found on the ground.
Gu Chengfeng asked, “So, Brother, you escaped from prison to chase Flying Frost?”
Gu Changqing shook his head: “No, he told me that someone wanted to take my life. If they couldn’t take mine, they would take Ayan’s, only then could they vent their hatred.”
Gu Chengfeng felt a pang in his heart. So he had escaped from prison because he was worried about Gu Yan? Is Gu Yan so important? Who was the one who kept saying that he didn’t recognise Gu Yan?
But what has happened now?
For Gu Yan, he’s even willing to give up his life!
Didn’t he know what the consequences would be of rushing out ?
Or… didn’t he realise that this was a trap the other party deliberately set for him?
No, how could he not have seen it?
But he was just unwilling to gamble on that possibility.
Gu Chengfeng’s chest felt like there was a fire burning inside, causing his internal organs to ache with pain.
He turned his head, his eyes filled with tears, and ran out!
“Miss Gu, someone’s coming!” The soldier reminded her.
Gu Jiao left the water pouch with Gu Changqing and came out of the punishment room herself.
Gu Chengfeng was wiping his tears and walking angrily forward: “Leave me alone!”
Gu Jiao: I didn’t intend to bother you anyway.
