Capítulo 1676: Chapter 1677: Off to Dongqing
Gong Juese got excited as soon as she heard her brother’s na: “Did my brother entrust you to co? What’s it about?”
However, ng Lanqing was very suspicious, pulling the especially excited Gong Juese back to prevent her from approaching the person, “All based on your word, how can we believe you?”
At the mont, Gong Juechen was at the King of Xiyun’s mansion, and they hadn’t disclosed their whereabouts in the Nanchi Imperial City or this inn to anyone, yet Gong Juechen could still send soone to find them?
He even suspected that this person had been watching them to know their location so clearly.
In any case, it sure was difficult not to harbor doubt.
The subordinate had anticipated this and took out Gong Juechen’s letter from his bosom, handing it to Xiao Changyi.
But the letter was intercepted by ng Zhuqing.
This was also a way to protect Xiao Changyi, in case the letter was poisoned.
As soon as ng Zhuqing received the letter, he opened it, then imdiately spread it out to show Xiao Changyi, who lowered his eyes and saw the content of the letter; his cold gaze was shocked instantly, and when he looked up again, the masked person had already left.
The words Gong Juechen wanted to say to Xiao Changyi were basically explained in the letter; once the subordinate saw Xiao Changyi reading it, he naturally made himself scarce at once.
In the subordinate’s view, this Xiao Changyi was particularly astute and had always doubted the Building Master’s identity. If Xiao Changyi caught him and discovered the Building Master’s identity from him, it wouldn’t end well, so it was better to leave quickly.
Xiao Changyi indeed wanted to catch that subordinate and ask about Gong Juechen’s true identity, but when he looked up and saw the subordinate running off, he let it go, snatching the letter from ng Zhuqing’s hand and turning back into the inn.
ng Zhuqing and the others quickly followed.
The seven of them entered Xiao Changyi’s room.
Seeing Tobanya close the door, ng Zhuqing took out the two silver needles from the envelope to show Xiao Changyi: “Master, there are also two silver needles.”
Xiao Changyi said nothing, just looked at the letter.
ng Zhuqing had already seen the contents of the letter at the inn door, “Master, this handwriting is indeed Gong Juechen’s, and with the silver needles, it seems the person was indeed entrusted by Gong Juechen. It’s just the letter’s content…”
Honestly, ng Zhuqing still didn’t know if the letter’s contents were true or false. That Gong Juechen, nine out of ten of his words were lies.
Xiao Changyi, however, said: “I believe him.”
Gong Juese threw a big disdainful look at ng Zhuqing, “Zhuzhu, my brother has sent a letter, how can you not believe him? Look at Brother Changyi, so generous, just like , believing my brother.”
ng Zhuqing thought to himself, ‘Your brother lies to you more than he does to us,’ but he said nothing aloud.
ng Lanqing stood next to Xiao Changyi, initially staring at the letter with Xiao Changyi, then said: “Master, he just said there was once a person from Dongqing staying at Fushou Inn, and there’s a concubine of unknown origins in the Dongqing Imperial City. He’s not sure if it’s the madam. Should we go to Dongqing now, or continue searching here?”
Xiao Changyi stood up, tucking the letter into his bosom as he said: “Pack up, head to Dongqing Imperial City imdiately.”
Because of this letter, infinite hope had already risen in his heart.
Here, it was a clueless and chaotic search, but heading to Dongqing Imperial City might yield results.
“Yes!” ng Zhuqing and the others imdiately clasped their fists, quickly packed up, vacated the room at the inn, and left Nanchi for Dongqing.
…
The day Xiao Changyi set off for Dongqing was September sixth, while An Jing was at Quiet Heart Garden carving wooden dolls.
