I Can Predict the Future
After three breaths, Qiu Jing turned his head and his cold eyes fell on Yan Shijiu's face.
Yan Shijiu lowered his head and directly admitted that he was in the same group with the newcomer, "I'm sorry, I just want to survive."
Siqi looked alert, "Who are you all?"
"Gu Ling, have you thought about it?" The man in the straw raincoat ignored Yan Shijiu or Siqi, and kept looking at Qiu Jing.
Qiu Jing suddenly pulled out the Hanyue Sword from his waist. Yan Shijiu raised his head in response and saw Qiu Jing using a wonderful sword move at a very fast speed. He didn't even look at him and stabbed the sword into his chest!
Yan Shijiu's strength was not weak, but he didn't expect that "Gu Ling" wanted to kill him! He looked at Qiu Jing's sword move. When he drew the sword, he was obviously going to attack the man, but he suddenly changed direction.
The Hanyue Sword had been pulled out, without a drop of blood, and returned to the scabbard on Qiu Jing's waist. Yan Shijiu was pale, holding his chest, blood flowing out from his fingers. He rushed outside, looking panicked, "Master, save me!"
The next moment, a silver light flew out from under the raincoat. Yan Shijiu paused, suddenly widened his eyes, and felt that time slowed down and stagnated. An arc-shaped silver piece appeared above his sight. It was a silver coin. Then, the semi-arc was like the moon blocked by dark clouds. The part he could see became smaller and smaller, and finally, it disappeared completely... The silver coin sank into Yan Shijiu's brain from the center of his eyebrows, and flew out again. Without the bright light, the blood added a creepy color to the pattern of the silver coin. The speed did not slow down and nailed it to the pillar behind!
Qiu Jing's Hanyue Sword trick, the man's coin pierced his brain, back and forth, and had the first silent contest on Yan Shijiu.
At the moment when Yan Shijiu fell, exactly ten breaths of time had passed.
Qiu Jing said, "Don't embarrass them, I'll go with you."
"Very good." The man nodded slightly, and the rain gathered into a thin line along the straw hat. As he turned around, it broke into crystal drops of water and flew out into the rain. "Han Yue Sword Skill is indeed well-deserved. Let's go."
Qiu Jing turned his head and glanced at Si Qi, "You and Yu Ru escort Yan Shiba back to the capital, tell Su Liang that I am a guest at Xingluo Island, so she doesn't have to worry."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Si Qi nodded, took off the straw hat on his head, and handed it to Qiu Jing.
Qiu Jing took it, put it on his head, and followed the man into the rain.
The group of black-clothed men followed Qiu Jing and formed a tight siege on him.
After a while, the ruined temple returned to peace, and Yan Shijiu's blood dyed a large area of the ground red.
The maid Yu Ru lifted the curtain of the car and looked at Si Qi who was walking over with an uneasy look, "What should we do next?"
"Take her back to find Hu Er." Si Qi spoke again.
Yuru's eyes widened suddenly, because this was clearly the voice of the Regent Gu Ling!
But before Yuru could ask anything else, there was no figure in front of her, which made her doubt that it was just an illusion. After a while, she reacted. Although she still couldn't figure it out, she got off the car and moved Yan Shijiu's body to the car. Then she drove the carriage in the rain, took Yan Shiba out of the ruined temple, and returned to Bei'an County.
...
Qiu Jing followed the group of people in the rain, not heading north, but heading away from Bei'an County, and then heading south.
Until the evening, the rain stopped, and they arrived at a valley. The leader found a dry cave and stopped to rest.
Qiu Jing watched the man take off his raincoat and throw it outside the cave, revealing a tall and straight figure, but after taking off his hat, there was still a mask on his face, and only the deep eyes like dead water could be seen clearly.
"Are you... Sheng Yue?" Qiu Jing asked. He heard from Min Rou that there was a man named Sheng Yue on Xingluo Island, who was very skilled in martial arts and was immune to all poisons. He was Mo Yan's confidant. Apart from Sheng Yue, all the people who had come out to cause trouble on Xingluo Island were old guys.
"Min Rou told you." Sheng Yue admitted it.
"What do you want me to do?" Qiu Jing asked. He knew that one of the main goals of the people on Xingluo Island has always been to capture Gu Ling.
Obviously, Sheng Yue arranged everything about Yan Shiba this time. Yan Shijiu was Yan Shiba's confidant, and knew that she had a close relationship with Gu Ling and Su Liang, so they used the seriously injured Yan Shiba to set up a trap. Yan Shiba was real, and it was also true that he was seriously ill. It was also true that Yan Shijiu lost an arm, and there was no flaw in his story. In addition, the location was in Sujia Village, where there were many relatives and friends of Su Liang. Even if they suspected something was wrong, Su Liang and Gu Ling would not do nothing.
And Sheng Yue must have calculated that it must be Gu Ling who came, and not Su Liang. Because Su Liang and Gu Ling would not take their daughter who was less than one year old to travel far away for work, and a baby cannot be separated from her mother, and Su Liang's martial arts can be regarded as her weakness.
If Gu Ling had not used Hu Er to play a trick and took Yan Shiba away from Sujia Village, it would be difficult to avoid that one of the brothers Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi was easily captured by Sheng Yue as a hostage, and the same goal could be achieved. Choosing Sujia Village itself is an invisible threat to Gu Ling and Su Liang.
Qiu Jing is very afraid of Sheng Yue. Although they met for the first time today and had a fight that was not considered a fight, this person gave him a very dangerous feeling. In terms of strength, Qiu Jing suspected that this person's martial arts might not be much worse than Gu Ling, but although Gu Ling looked cold, he would not release the kind of chill that made people afraid, and this person gave Qiu Jing a feeling that he could do anything.
In response to Qiu Jing's question, Sheng Yue took a moment to answer, "You will know when you get there. Be quiet. If you dare to act rashly, innocent people will die because of you."
The tone was calm but permeable. Qiu Jing knew that Sheng Yue was not joking, but this person really disgusted him.
But for the moment, Qiu Jing was somewhat glad that he insisted on pretending to be Gu Ling. After all, they were cousins, with similar body shapes and faces. They were both descendants of Han Yue's swordsmanship, and their martial arts skills were enough to confuse the enemy. At that time in the ruined temple, one of Qiu Jing's purposes in killing Yan Jiu was also to demonstrate Han Yue's sword skills.
At least for the time being, Sheng Yue had no doubt that the person he captured was not Gu Ling.
Qiu Jing, who was captured, felt so good. Although he said when he exchanged identities that Gu Ling could save him if he was caught, he didn't expect Gu Ling to come to rescue him right now. This group of people was difficult to deal with, and it would be difficult for Gu Ling to do it alone no matter how powerful he was. If he couldn't kill Sheng Yue and let him run away, he might cause even greater trouble.
Qiu Jing actually hoped that he could disguise himself for a longer time. It would be better if Sheng Yue took him back to Xingluo Island before being discovered. This would give Gu Ling and Su Liang more time to understand Xingluo Island and deal with Xingluo Island. The power of the island.
Something was thrown at Qiu Jing. He caught it and found it was a mask.
"Put it on." Sheng Yue said.
Qiu Jing put it on silently, thinking it would be better this way.
Sheng Yue took Qiu Jing's Hanyue Sword and asked him if Nangong Lin was dead.
Qiu Jing nodded, "Dead." In fact, he was not dead. He was still waiting for death in the Su Mansion dungeon in the capital. But since Sheng Yue asked, Qiu Jing deliberately said the opposite to prevent him from having any conspiracy.
"Take this medicine." Sheng Yue took out a medicine bottle, poured out a pill and handed it to Qiu Jing.
"What?" Qiu Jing asked.
Sheng Yue said bluntly, "Suppress the inner strength."
Qiu Jing frowned and put it in his mouth without saying anything.
"Why didn't you ask if someone came to the capital to kill your wife and daughter?" Sheng Yue asked.
Qiu Jing looked calm and said, "You can say whatever you want."
"No." Sheng Yue said, "The previous incident cost many experts on Xingluo Island, otherwise there would be no need to spend a lot of time this time."
It seemed like he was explaining to Qiu Jing.
But Qiu Jing just felt that this person was really incomprehensible. He was definitely not a decent person, but he seemed to have different interests than some people on Xingluo Island?
Sheng Yue took away all of Gu Ling's belongings from Qiu Jing, including a nail gun, several medicine bottles, a cute little rabbit purse, a bracelet, and a ring. There are also letters written by Bai Xiaohu and Zhu Zhu to Su Liang.
Sheng Yue returned the letter to Qiu Jing, took the purse and asked, "Did Su Liang make it?"
Qiu Jing didn't answer, just asked him to return the bracelet to him.
Sheng Yue checked and found that there was no hidden weapon, just an ordinary fragrant wood bracelet with rough carving, so he returned it to Qiu Jing and his wallet. He picked up the nail gun and shot it at the stone wall of the cave. , stuffed into his arms.
Qiu Jing: ...Wait, Gu Ling will beat you to death with that thing sooner or later...
He didn't rest long before he set off again.
Qiu Jing, who originally wanted to leave a message to Gu Ling so that Gu Ling wouldn't need to save him for the time being, found no opportunity under Sheng Yue's nose. But after a night, Gu Ling didn't show up. Qiu Jing was thinking again, wasn't Gu Ling worried about being killed if he was exposed? Really...
…
On the other side, Hu Er was not surprised when he saw Yuru coming back with Yan Shiba and Yan Shijiu's body. Hu Er knew that the driver Si Qi was Gu Ling. After hearing what Yu Ru said about what happened in the ruined temple, he expected that Gu Ling would encounter a difficult enemy this time.
Hu Er arranged another team of people to escort Yan Shiba to the capital. Gu Ling left a bottle of medicine and asked Yan Shiba to take one pill the next day to save her life. As for Yan Jiu's body, it was thrown directly into the mass grave.
Nothing unusual happened in Sujiacun. The Bai family had no idea that they had been threatened by Gu Ling. Both Bai Xiaohu and Zhu Zhu were determined to study hard and take the exams to become officials in the capital. They would take the whole family there. In the capital, continue to be neighbors with Su Liang.
…
In the past three days, Qiu Jing felt that Gu Ling would not come to rescue him. This was probably what he thought. As long as he was not exposed, remained in his original position, and delayed the enemy's time, Lao Mu and Cen Man might have arrived on Xingluo Island. And seeing Mo Yan will make things turn around.
At least it is to our own advantage that the enemy has not caught Gu Ling now and does not know it.
Therefore, Qiu Jing continued to pretend to be Gu Ling seriously. If he wanted to prevent Sheng Yue from noticing the flaw, he had to be careful at all times and not be careless.
On this day, they took the water route. They could reach Nanping City directly by boat, which was faster.
Sheng Yue didn't have much communication with Qiu Jing on the way. He didn't plan to reveal in advance the purpose of arresting Gu Ling. Qiu Jing didn't ask either, for fear of making too many mistakes. Qiu Jing had always known that Gu Ling and Su Liang had a big secret. Maybe the people from Xingluo Island came to them because of that secret.
Apart from the lack of freedom, Qiu Jing felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Taking this opportunity allowed him to have some free time to think about a lot of things, the past and the future.
That night, they came to a narrow river mouth. The distance between the two banks was only ten meters. Their boat was not big enough and they could pass through.
There are no stars or moon tonight, the sky is very dark, and only the sound of rushing water can be heard.
Qiu Jing and Sheng Yue leaned on each end of the cabin and fell asleep.
Qiu Jing was thinking about Min Rou again. For a moment, he started to think about who they would look like if they got married and had children.
The ship suddenly jolted, and Sheng Yue opened his eyes, "What's wrong?"
"It seems like something is blocking it." The voice of the old man driving the boat came from outside, followed by a muffled groan and the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.
Sheng Yue's eyes condensed, and he rushed over to pull Qiu Jing up and drag him out of the cabin.
It was very quiet outside, but the boat was stuck in the middle of the estuary. When it turned sideways, the water was still moving forward, but the boat did not move. There was indeed something blocking it underwater, and it was a sharp object. The hull had been cut and water was flooding in.
Gu Ling is here... Qiu Jing's heart moved, it must be him!
The old man driving the boat was shot and fell into the river, and his body drifted away.
In addition to Sheng Yue and Qiu Jing, there were four old men on the boat, and they all came out at this time to protect Sheng Yue in the middle.
"Did you lead people here?" Sheng Yue looked at Qiu Jing and asked coldly.
Qiu Jing shook his head, "I didn't do anything."
"Come out!" Sheng Yue said coldly. It was not far from the shore, but their boat was broken, and they didn't dare to go ashore for the time being, fearing an ambush.
There was a big rock on the right bank, and a figure landed on it lightly. Then Qiu Jing heard "his" voice, "Let Gu Ling go."
"Situ Jing?" Sheng Yue knew Qiu Jing.
"Qiu Jing." Gu Ling corrected.
"How did you find us?" Sheng Yue stared.
"I can predict the future." Gu Ling said.
Qiu Jing: ...
Sheng Yue snorted coldly, "What a joke. If I can't leave, Gu Ling will be buried with me. Get out of the way." After saying that, he took out the nail gun he got from Qiu Jing and aimed at Gu Ling.
The reason why Sheng Yue didn't attack Gu Ling immediately at the beginning was to find out why someone discovered their whereabouts, which was very important, but he didn't get the answer.
"Okay." Gu Ling said, and really disappeared.
Qiu Jing heard Sheng Yue's breath getting thicker, obviously he was angry, and suddenly felt a little funny... I don't know what Gu Ling is going to do, but it must be very interesting. The boat was broken, and even if the obstruction was cleared, it could not be used. No matter what, we had to get ashore as soon as possible, but there might be a "surprise" on the shore.
The water in the boat had already submerged Qiu Jing's feet. It would not be long before the boat sank.
Sheng Yue looked at two of the four old men, "You go over there to explore the way." He was talking about the left bank.
The two old men flew ashore. There were dense woods on the shore. They were holding weapons in their hands and were about to walk into the woods when they heard Sheng Yue say, "Go along the shore."
It was a smart move. After getting ashore, it was not necessary to hide in the woods. The situation inside was unclear and might be more dangerous. There were hostages in hand, as long as there was a way.
Next, Qiu Jing saw a "hunting" scene.
The arrow flew out of the woods on the opposite bank at a very fast speed and hit one of the old men, who fell into the water.
The other old man immediately hid in the woods, but soon, an explosion sounded and the river surface shook.
Qiu Jing knew very well that Gu Ling had either buried many mines in the woods, or had calculated their every step and the timing of shooting was also good. The latter was more likely. Gu Ling had been following them all the way here, so he should not have had time to prepare too many things.
Qiu Jing was held hostage by Sheng Yue and blocked in front of him.
At this time, the boat had begun to tilt, and Sheng Yue knew that sending someone ashore to explore the way would be a suicide mission. Even if the other party had only one person, they were trapped in the river, in the open, and the other party was in the dark.
"How did he find me here?" Sheng Yue's voice was not as flat as before, and it was obviously angry. Obviously, he was a person with a strong desire for control. He thought everything was under control, but a major accident happened.
"Master, get out of the water." An old man said.
At this moment, something fell to the stern of the boat and hit the wooden side of the boat.
Sheng Yue's face changed suddenly, "Jump!" After saying that, he pulled Qiu Jing forward and jumped into the river.
The moment they left the boat, there was a loud bang, and the whole boat exploded, with thick smoke and flames rising.
An old man who was slow to react and near the stern of the boat entered the water, leaving only his upper body.
Qiu Jing took advantage of the chaos to break free from Sheng Yue's grip the moment he entered the water. When he was thinking about which direction to swim, he felt his arm being pulled violently and pushed hard. He soon touched the shore and climbed up quickly.
"Be careful, he has a gun!" Qiu Jing turned around and shouted. He knew Gu Ling was in the water.
Sheng Yue didn't see Gu Ling, but tried his best to swim to the right bank.
The surrounding water suddenly fluctuated abnormally. Sheng Yue realized something was wrong and subconsciously dodged. The next moment, he saw that his right hand was cut off from his wrist, leaving his body and drifting away with the current.
Sheng Yue looked back and saw that the only remaining subordinate was holding a man.
Taking this opportunity, Sheng Yue didn't care about the broken hand and quickly swam to the shore, and saw that the body of the old man who had just saved him had floated up.
Sheng Yue glanced at Qiu Jing on the other side with a cold look, and then rushed into the woods.
Then Gu Ling came out of the water and chased after him.
"Hey..." Qiu Jing stood on the other side, and just as he opened his mouth, he disappeared from his sight.
Qiu Jing looked around, and he was the only living person left. There were only broken boards and corpses left from the bombed boat in the river.
Qiu Jing's poison had not been cured yet, so he sat down where he was, waiting for Gu Ling to come back. Thinking about the thrilling experience just now, he admired Gu Ling's careful plan to fight against many alone, but he couldn't help complaining: If Sheng Yue hadn't reacted quickly, they would have all been blown to death on the boat...
From another perspective, Gu Ling calculated Sheng Yue's reaction exactly, no wonder Su Liang always called him a god. Only this method can possibly deal with an enemy like Sheng Yue. Even if Sheng Yue was lucky enough to escape tonight, he would still be defeated this time when fighting with Gu Ling.
