I Have a Guess, Which May Not Be Correct

Gu Ling ignored Sheng Yue's advice and took him back to the octagonal pavilion in the garden.

Leaving Sheng Yue behind, Gu Ling looked towards the forbidden area and saw no movement.

Cheng Yun looked worried, "Senior Mu might have been caught. What should we do next?"

Gu Ling did not answer, retracted his gaze, glanced at Sheng Yue, and then said to Cheng Yun, "Take off his clothes."

Sheng Yue frowned, Cheng Yun was stunned, "Ah? What?"

"Take off Sheng Yue's clothes and search him." Gu Ling said.

Chengyun looked puzzled, Sheng Yue sighed, "You still think I'm lying to you, that the magic weapon is an object, and I've already snatched it? If I really snatched it, can you still stop me?"

Gu Ling stared, "Snatching it and being able to use it are two different things."

Sheng Yue shook his head slightly, "I admire your caution and thoroughness. Indeed, if I snatched it but couldn't use it, it would be the same. But unfortunately, you think too much this time. If you insist on wasting time on me, please do it."

Chengyun listened to Gu Ling and searched Sheng Yue's body. First, he touched it up and down and found a jade pendant and a hairpin, and nothing else.

"These two things are left by my mother. I have worn them for many years." Sheng Yue looked calm, "Gu Ling, you have seen them before."

Gu Ling took Sheng Yue's hairpin and jade pendant and looked at them. They were indeed his original objects. Gu Ling had seen them when Sheng Yue went to the Su Mansion in the capital before.

Then, Chengyun untied the rope that tied Sheng Yue, and began to take off his clothes according to Gu Ling's instructions.

Sheng Yue did not resist and let Chengyun do whatever he wanted.

After taking off his outer clothes, shoes and socks, Chengyun searched carefully and said to Gu Ling, "There is nothing else."

Gu Ling looked at Sheng Yue and said, "Continue to take off."

Chengyun was about to start, but Sheng Yue unbuttoned, "I'll do it myself. Although you are my brother, this is really weird."

Soon, Sheng Yue took off all his clothes except for his underwear, with his hair disheveled, bare-chested and barefoot standing in front of Gu Ling and Chengyun, revealing many old scars on his body.

Sheng Yue took the initiative to explain, "Some are left when practicing martial arts, and some are injured when fighting with others." The biggest injury came from Gu Ling, which directly broke his forearm.

Chengyun walked around Sheng Yue and said to Gu Ling, "It seems that there really is nothing. Although I don't believe him, what he said should be true. Let's find a way to save people as soon as possible. It would be terrible if Mo Yan went crazy and hurt Senior Mu."

As a result, Gu Ling said, "Take off the last piece of clothing."

Sheng Yue's face was a little dark, "Gu Ling, I want to escape by myself today, which is not unkind. We are not the same kind of people, and you have never trusted me. All this is evidence. If it weren't for my usefulness, you would have killed me long ago. I think it's not too much to want to protect myself now. You want to search, and I cooperated. Do you have to humiliate me like this?"

"I don't have time to humiliate you. You won't feel ashamed because of this kind of thing." Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "Take it off."

Sheng Yue put his hand on his belt, and Chengyun turned his head silently to look outside the pavilion. Although they are both men, this kind of thing is indeed very embarrassing.

After a while, Chengyun heard Sheng Yue say, "Did you see it clearly?"

"Turn around." Gu Ling said.

Chengyun held his forehead and admired Gu Ling. He was too strong mentally. He still had a lot to learn.

"Did you see it clearly?" Sheng Yue asked again.

This time he heard Gu Ling say, "Put it on."

Chengyun breathed a sigh of relief and waited for a while before looking back. He saw Sheng Yue was already putting on his coat.

The atmosphere in the pavilion at this moment reminded Chengyun of a sentence Su Liang once said, "As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."

Gu Ling, who forced Sheng Yue to strip naked, was not embarrassed, and Sheng Yue, who was forced to strip naked, did not look embarrassed either. The most embarrassed person was Chengyun who was watching.

"You have searched. Can I leave now?" Sheng Yue tied his belt and asked Gu Ling calmly.

Gu Ling shook his head, "I said, no one can leave until the matter is over."

Sheng Yue looked helpless, "I can't beat you, and I don't want to argue with you. But you forced me to stay, isn't it a bit too much? In the past, I opposed you because of my position, but I didn't cause any substantial harm to you. It was you who made me disabled. You want me to stay to help, aren't you afraid that I will stab you in the back?"

Cheng Yun frowned, "You once captured our children, and you still say you didn't do anything? Killing you is not too much!"

Sheng Yue's face froze, "Cheng Yun, you didn't expect you to return to secular life so thoroughly, and now you talk about fighting and killing all the time. I am very relieved, but you are too harsh on me. I did that kind of thing before, it was just a means, not an end."

"No matter the means or the end, it shows that you have no moral bottom line. You are a scumbag if you attack children! You also captured three children in the cave before, causing one child to be completely separated from his family." Cheng Yun accused Sheng Yue.

Sheng Yue shook his head, "I admit that I don't have as high a moral bottom line as you. But the child you mentioned who was separated from her family should thank me for letting her get rid of her selfish family who didn't care about her life or death at a young age. I believe she will have a better family in the future, right?"

"Shut up." Gu Ling spoke up and stopped Sheng Yue and Cheng Yun from arguing.

"If you don't let me go, what do you want me to do? Just tell me." Sheng Yue looked impatient.

As a result, Gu Ling shook his head, "I haven't thought about how to act safely next, and I want to hear your opinion. Stop talking nonsense about asking me to leave and live in seclusion with my wife and daughter. I want to save people. If something happens, I will make sure you do it. Bury with me."

Sheng Yue stared at Gu Ling, "I used to think that you and your wife were always reasonable, but I was wrong."

Cheng Yun was listening and felt that Gu Ling's words were not like his usual style. Although Cheng Yun had no objection to treating Sheng Yue like this, for the reason he just said, he felt that this was a scumbag.

Without waiting for Gu Ling's instructions, Chengyun picked up the rope on the ground, grabbed Sheng Yue's arm, and tried to tie him up again.

"He is really my biological brother." Sheng Yue laughed at himself and allowed Cheng Yun to tie him up.

However, Sheng Yue quickly calmed down, sat down by himself, saw tea on the table, and said he was thirsty.

"Bear it." Chengyun said coldly.

"Gu Ling asked me to give him advice. My throat is dry and I need to moisten my throat before I can continue talking." Sheng Yue insisted on drinking water first.

Chengyun poured a cup of tea, grabbed Sheng Yue's hair, raised his head, and poured it into him. His movements were quite simple and crude.

"Chengyun, you are really led astray by them." Sheng Yue spoke quietly, tilting his head on his shoulder to wipe the tea from his face.

"Don't you want to talk? Speak carefully, or I'll beat you to spit out whatever you just drank." Cheng Yun really didn't treat others like this, and he didn't know why, but he particularly disliked Sheng Yue.

Sheng Yue shook his head slightly, stopped talking to Chengyun, and looked at Gu Ling, who was standing quietly aside, looking in the direction of the forbidden area, "You refuse to leave, and you insist on saving people. I can't think of any good way, because there is no way. There is no way. If you had, you would have thought of it already, and you wouldn’t have to ask me. But I still have something serious to say to you.”

"Speak quickly!" Chengyun was very worried about Lao Mu and couldn't help but urge.

"Before I drugged Mo Yan, he had already forced Yan Shiba to pretend to be Su Liang into the water three times. You and I both know that Yan Shiba is not a time traveler. She lied to Mo Yan about what she said she saw underwater. . But Mo Yan’s patience is limited. Coupled with what happened today, it may not be easy for her to figure it out if Mo Yan lets Yan Shiba go into the water again," Sheng Yue said, "But it is more likely that Mo Yan will use it. The lives of Yan Shiba and your master force you to show up, and then use your life to force Yan Shiba to try his best to explore the underwater path. The premise of these is that Yan Shiba is not exposed. If she is exposed, I will doubt Mo Yan. Will he kill her directly in anger, and then use your master's life to force you to bring the real Su Liang to him? Or maybe, capture you first, and let Cheng Yun go back to the capital to invite Su Liang."

As Chengyun listened, his expression became even more ugly, and then Sheng Yue continued, "No matter what the situation is, do you think you have a chance of winning? Anyway, I don't think so. This is why I want to leave this hellish place as soon as possible."

Gu Ling looked at Sheng Yue steadily, "Are you done?"

Sheng Yue nodded, "That's all I can think of for the moment. By the way, I've thought of another way. How about we leave here together, leaving only Mo Yan. He has nothing to do, so he has to leave Xingluo Island again to go to the capital to arrest people. At least this way It can buy you more time to look for opportunities.”

Chengyun shook his head, "You said, he will get angry and kill people. As long as he has one more hostage, he may start killing next. If we can't deal with him this time, let him go to the capital again and arrest our family. People will make the situation worse.”

"I'm just making suggestions, but they are definitely not safe because there is no safe way." Sheng Yue shook his head, "Gu Ling decides what to do."

"Are you finished?" Gu Ling asked Sheng Yue again.

Sheng Yue nodded, "It's over."

"Okay." Gu Ling nodded slightly and turned to look in the direction of the forbidden area again.

The atmosphere in the pavilion fell silent. Sheng Yue narrowed his eyes. Chengyun looked inexplicable. He felt that Gu Ling seemed to have a solution, but he was not sure. He didn't know what he was waiting for now.

Afraid of affecting Gu Ling's thinking, Chengyun didn't ask, just leaned against the pillar and stared at Sheng Yue.

After a while, Chengyun knew what Gu Ling was waiting for: Feng Ming.

Feng Ming showed up and was not surprised that Sheng Yue was arrested. He reported to Gu Ling that he had been waiting around the forbidden area for a long time and there was no sign of Lao Mu.

"I'm afraid something happened to Senior Mu, otherwise if he escapes, he will definitely come here to find the prince." Feng Ming sighed.

"Go find a rope." Gu Ling ordered, "The longer the better."

Feng Ming nodded, "There should be. In addition to the length, are there any requirements for the thickness?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "It can be thick or thin."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away." After saying this, Feng Ming left quickly.

The pavilion was quiet for another moment, and Sheng Yue asked Gu Ling what he planned to do.

Gu Ling didn't answer, just said he was hungry and asked Chengyun to find something to eat.

After Peng Wu left, the cooking fell on Chengyun. He has the experience of living alone and can cook some simple meals.

"Then keep an eye on him. I'll be back as soon as possible." Cheng Yun left after saying that.

When Feng Ming returned to the Bajiao Pavilion carrying a bundle of strings, Cheng Yun also came over carrying a basket. In the basket were steamed buns yesterday, and the fillings were specially prepared by Gu Ling. No matter what, you have to eat enough to have the strength to do serious things.

Gu Ling ate three cold buns and drank a cup of cold tea, while the other three people watched.

Neither Chengyun nor Feng Ming knew what Gu Ling was planning to do with the rope. Sheng Yue's eyes fell on the bundle of ropes in front of him, and his eyes flickered.

Then, Gu Ling stood up, picked up the rope, and began to wrap it around Sheng Yue.

Sheng Yue frowned, "What are you going to do?" He had his shoulders tied and couldn't move his only remaining hand. Now he was tied several times, but only a little of the rope was used up, and there was still a lot of length left. .

"I have thought of the use of your stay." Gu Ling said, "Go and negotiate with Mo Yan."

Sheng Yue was stunned for a moment, "What are you talking about?"

"Whatever you talk about, you think about it yourself." Gu Ling said, wrapping the rope around Sheng Yue's neck again, tying a loose knot, and holding the other end in his hand. In this way, Sheng Yue was the "grasshopper" in his hands, able to release a long "thread", but as long as Gu Ling's hand tightened, he could be strangled to death in minutes.

Sheng Yue looked angry, "If you ask me to go back to see Mo Yan, you are basically asking me to die!"

"I have a guess, it may not be correct." Gu Ling suddenly said something incomprehensible.

Sheng Yue asked, "What guess?"

"If you don't go, I will strangle you to death now. If you go, Mo Yan will not kill you. He knows that you are with me, and he will definitely make you responsible for passing the message to me. As you said, Mo Yan is now They want to use hostages to capture me," Gu Ling said.

Sheng Yue frowned, "What do you mean? He told me to tell you to go see him, and I told you, and then what? You can't really go!"

"I can go, there are conditions. Let him release all the hostages in exchange for me." Gu Ling said.

Feng Ming and Cheng Yun both frowned when they heard this. Cheng Yun shook his head, "This won't work! You can't fall into Mo Yan's hands!"

"At this point, there is no other way." Gu Ling said, "There has to be a settlement. As long as he lets him go, I will find an opportunity to kill him."

"This is too risky, and he may not agree." Feng Ming dissuaded, "Your Majesty, you should think about it again."

"We won't know until we negotiate. Sheng Yue, what do you think?" Gu Ling held a bundle of rope in his hand, with one end of the rope tied around Sheng Yue's neck.

"Since it's a negotiation, why are you tying me up? Are you afraid that Mo Yan will kill me and I won't die fast enough?" Sheng Yue asked coldly.

Gu Ling asked back, "Are you afraid?"

"You asked me to help you again, and you treated me like this. It's inexplicable!" Sheng Yue said coldly.

"I said, I have a guess, but it may not be correct." Gu Ling said, "As for what it is, you will know when you go there. I will watch you go in and keep a safe distance."

After saying this, Gu Ling grabbed Sheng Yue, who could only move his feet, and flew out of the pavilion, landing in the garden.

The lake water was shimmering under the sun, and Feng Ming and Cheng Yun, who came out shortly after, felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

"Remember to meet Mo Yan, talk it over and use your talents, so that our cooperation can continue in a friendly manner." Gu Ling pulled Sheng Yue forward with a gentle tone.

The shadows of the trees were mottled, illuminating Sheng Yue's overly pale face, which looked uncertain.

When he was about to walk out of the garden, Sheng Yue suddenly stopped, and Gu Ling also stopped, "What's wrong?"

Sheng Yue stared straight at Gu Ling, "What is your guess?"

"What do you think?" Gu Ling asked.

Sheng Yue took a deep breath, "I can't go to see Mo Yan."

"Afraid of death? I told you, he won't kill you." Gu Ling said.

Sheng Yue was silent.

The next moment, the rope in Gu Ling's hand tightened, and he looked at Sheng Yue with cold eyes, "It seems that my guess is correct?"

Sheng Yue pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

"The reason why you are so anxious to run away is because you took away Mo Yan's magic weapon, right? I didn't find it on you, which doesn't mean it's not on you. Maybe you were stuffed into a place where we can't search, or maybe, you were You swallowed it. It's not that big, you can take it out when you get to a safe place."

Sheng Yue said expressionlessly, "You really think a lot."

"You lied to my master and entered the cave because you were afraid that my master would stop you. You took Chengyun away instead of killing him directly. You didn't care about him, but to use him as a hostage when necessary to ensure that you could leave. "The reason for this, I guess, is that although the object is in your hands, you can't control it and can't use it for a while. So you hope to take the baby away quickly and slowly study how to make it recognize it." You are the master. Mo Yan is the time traveler. The thing regards him as the master and is used by him. Maybe he didn't do anything. Even if it is an independent object, it may not be able to change its owner. "

"It's a pity that you don't tell stories." Sheng Yue snorted coldly.

"If, as you said, Mo Yan's magic weapon is in his mind and cannot be changed, it's not surprising that you want to leave, but you ran a little too fast. You didn't take the opportunity to kill Mo Yan because you wanted to deceive us and let him Continue to contain me. After Mo Yan is taken away from the magic weapon, he will definitely pretend that his dimension is still there, otherwise he will die quickly. You don't dare to go back because you are afraid that Mo Yan will take the magic weapon back from you. , you will indeed die. If you just help me negotiate, there is no need to be afraid with your character. You have been dealing with Mo Yan for several years." Gu Ling's expression was calm, "What you say you want to time travel is not true at all. It's just to disguise your true intention. From the beginning, you came to Xingluo Island for Mo Yan's magic weapon. Only that thing is attractive to you. You knew you couldn't do it on your own, so you pretended to cooperate with us. Use me to finally achieve your goal of seizing the treasure today."

After Gu Ling finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on the corners of Sheng Yue's lips. He stared at Gu Ling and sighed after a moment, "I didn't expect that you still didn't believe me after I stripped off and showed you. Don't say I'm using you, we It’s about taking advantage of each other, but unfortunately, in the end, I still fall short.”
