Chapter 308: Floating Dreams (3)
Yao Jia recognized that it was Jin Mantang's voice, and was secretly glad that Gu Xiyan did not go out, otherwise she would have been shocked to see her from her previous life.
The footsteps quickly disappeared in front of the door.
Immediately afterwards, a slight noise came from the stone chamber next door, as if someone was trying to open the mechanism of the stone chamber.
Gu Xiyan's face became anxious. He rushed to a corner of the stone room and triggered a mechanism on the stone wall.
There was a tunnel on the stone wall that could only accommodate one person. He crawled along the tunnel into another stone chamber.
Yao Jiaze walked straight through the wall, looked at the decoration inside, and immediately recognized that this was the treasure house that Jin Mantang had mentioned.
Gu Xiyan had just picked up a stack of drawings when he heard a vibration from the stone gate. He had to hurriedly return to the tunnel and hide.
The stone gate rose up, and Nangong Jiayao and Jin Mantang entered.
Jin Mantang glanced around the treasure house, a greedy look on his face.
He walked straight to the bookshelf, picked up a box with ease, took out a few papers from it and started flipping through them.
Nangong Jiayao leaned over and after seeing the contents on the drawing, her face turned pale instantly.
"This... this is... a thermal weapon design?" Her voice trembled, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.
The familiar voice made Gu Xiyan in the tunnel stunned. He turned around suddenly, his eyes fixed on the small hole in the tunnel, and looked out.
But all he saw was Nangong Jiayao's back, wearing silver armor and covered in blood.
Jin Mantang quickly put the blueprints into the box, turned around and said to Nangong Jiayao: "Pavilion Master Nangong, if these weapons can be used by Daxia, it will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of our army. By then, the unification of the three kingdoms will be just around the corner. You take care of the aftermath here, and I will go back immediately... uh..."
Before he could finish his words, Nangong Jiayao stabbed him with his sword, chilling him to the core.
Nangong Jiayao's eyes were cold, with blood still dripping from the end of her sword. She watched coldly as Jin Mantang fell to the ground bit by bit, her voice without a trace of emotion.
"Jin Mantang, do you want to keep these blueprints for yourself? If the blueprints fall into your hands and your master's hands, the people of the world will never have peace."
"You... I am the governor of Qilian County... you..."
She looked contemptuous, "What about the county governor? I say one word, and everyone in your Jin family will die..."
"Aren't you afraid of Chen Zhizhi..."
Nangong Jiayao laughed disdainfully, "Chen Ying is nothing! At most, I'll let him run around for a few more months. When I return to Kyoto, I'll personally skin him and whip him..."
She yanked the sword out of his body and wiped it clean on his clothes. "He will be reunited with you soon. You should explain things to the Le family in the underworld!"
Gu Xiyan unconsciously tightened the drawing in his hand, making a slight sound.
"Who?!" Nangong Jiayao turned around suddenly, her eyes sharp as torches, and looked in the direction of the sound.
In an instant, Gu Xiyan saw her appearance clearly, his heartbeat suddenly stopped, his mind went blank, and he stood there in a daze for a long time.
"Master...what happened?" Huaichuan rushed in from outside the stone chamber. Seeing Jin Mantang's corpse on the ground, he was stunned at first, then he flashed to Nangong Jiayao's side.
Nangong Jiayao looked around and found nothing suspicious. She shook her head and said, "It's probably the sound of the wind."
He ordered Huaichuan to take the box under Jin Mantang.
"What should we do with Governor Jin's body?"
"Carry him back to the Jin Mansion and tell him that he ignored all attempts to stop him and risked his life by rushing into the Gu Mansion, where he was killed by the Lord of Gu's Mansion."
"Yes."
Huaichuan dragged the box with one hand, carried Jin Mantang on his shoulder with the other, and followed Nangong Jiayao out of the stone chamber.
"Master, Jin Mantang is definitely not a good person. These days, I have been ..."
The two voices gradually faded away.
Gu Xiyan breathed in and out deeply, his whole body trembling violently. He shook his head repeatedly, muttering, "It's not her, it can't be her, it must not be her, no, no..."
Yao Jia looked at him on the verge of collapse, and intense pain spread in her heart.
Gu Xiyan was possessed by some unknown force and chased out. There was already a huge fire outside and the smell of burnt meat was everywhere.
Looking at the bodies in flames, Gu Xiyan staggered and fell to the corner, holding onto the wall and vomiting violently...
There were layers of guards outside Gu Family Castle, so he had to return to the secret passage and escape.
The exit was located in a dense forest. He did not escape, but returned to the main gate of Gujiabao.
Nangong Jiayao stood in front of the gate and read the imperial edict.
He hid in the dark and watched, only to see the soldiers hanging three corpses on the gate.
"Fort Master Gu, Madam Gu, and this..." Nangong Jiayao frowned as she looked at the corpse of the young man with blood all over his face, "And this Young Master Gu, since you disobeyed my order, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Yao Jia's heart sank as she realized what was going to happen next. She reached out to cover Gu Xiyan's eyes, but her hands passed through his head.
She felt a little helpless and used her body to block him, not wanting him to see those cruel scenes.
"Don't look, Sanlang... Please don't look..."
But to no avail.
Nangong Jiayao's crazy laughter came from the other side.
Her eyes were vicious. She took the big knife handed to her by Huaichuan, and chopped off the heads of the three men one by one.
Gu Xiyan's eyes became redder and redder. He witnessed the whole process of her committing the crime and rushed out.
The body was thrown to the ground from behind.
Unable to get up, he desperately pounded the dry ground in front of him. His mouth was covered by a pair of rough hands, and he could only make slight sobbing sounds.
Yao Jia recognized that the person who stopped Gu Xiyan was the bearded master.
"Don't act rashly, Sanlang!"
He reminded Gu Xiyan again and again, staring at the gate of Gu Family Castle with eyes full of hatred.
"Get the lime ready and follow me." Nangong Jiayao ordered his confidant to leave on horseback.
Yao Jia recalled that in her previous life, she seemed to have taken the heads of these three people to the Le family's grave to offer sacrifices.
Sure enough, several people followed her all the way and followed her to the tomb she secretly built for the Le family.
Nangong Jiayao knelt in front of Le Wuyou's tombstone and cried heartbrokenly.
"Don't worry, Wuyou. I will not let go of anyone who harms you or humiliates you! I will deal with the Gu family, the Jiang family, and Chen Ying one by one, and bring their heads to pay tribute to you."
She personally pulled out the weeds growing on Le Wuyou's grave and said in a gentle tone, "The Gu family is the first, and the next one is Chen Ying. As for the Jiang family, An He still needs their support. When An He ascends to the throne, I will be the first to destroy the Jiang family. Very quickly, very quickly..."
Gu Xiyan stared at the woman at the grave with a dull gaze, and every word of her gentle words struck his heart.
"So... it was really you... for Le Wuyou... you were so cruel..."
The fog gradually condensed and dispersed, and in front of Yao Jia was Gu Xiyan with bandages wrapped around his head.
The door opened and a middle-aged man walked in.
After Yao Jia saw his appearance clearly, she was stunned. She seemed to have seen this face somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.
The man removed the bandage on Gu Xiyan's face, revealing a face similar to Le Wuyou.
Gu Xiyan stood in front of the mirror, raised her hand and touched her cheek, her eyes full of disgust.
"You like him... then I will become him..." Gu Xiyan's voice trembled. Looking at himself in the mirror, disgust in his eyes gradually turned into hatred. "I will use this face to take your life, and let you also taste the feeling of being hated by your beloved... Okay?"
The man said, "Sanlang, A-li is here as a guest today, do you want to see him before you leave?"
Gu Xiyan was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "We will see each other soon, why rush now."
A Li?
Yao Jia silently memorized the name in her heart.
In a blink of an eye, Gu Xiyan appeared in Princess Anhe's mansion.
Ten male favorites, dressed in various colors, lined up and knelt in the snow in Merlin.
Sanlang's appearance was not outstanding, but his face, which was extremely similar to Le Wuyou's, coupled with his unique sinister temperament, immediately caught An He's attention.
An He hooked his chin and looked around with surprise.
"This appearance is somewhat similar to an old friend."
"Hehe..." After a light laugh, a teasing voice came from outside Merlin, "Hey, which old friend of yours is this?"
Gu Xiyan's body tensed up instantly.
