Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 187 Delivering the Letter
After Gu Jingnian woke up, the first thing he did was to ask Gu Jize to put drugs in the food provided to Gu Beiming to ensure that Gu Beiming would always be weak and would not get out of control.

Gu Jize couldn't bear it and asked, "Is this necessary?"

"I don't know how many skills my father has refined over the years. There's no guarantee that he won't break free."

Gu Jingnian spent half his blood and finally captured Gu Beiming. Not wanting to fail at the last moment, he not only drugged Gu Beiming, but also personally went to the cell where Gu Beiming was imprisoned and added an extra lock.

In this way, he felt a little relieved. Without taking time to rest, he immediately contacted Kaiping Division.

The method of communication was very simple. He lit his flaming wings and flew eastward for more than 500 miles. He arrived at the border between Yong and Rui countries and landed towards a military camp.

Half a year ago, when Gu Jingnian fled westward, many soldiers on the Swiss border looked up at the sky every day, hoping to make a great contribution to capturing Gu Jingnian. However, as time passes, they have long forgotten about this matter. After daily hard work, they are so tired that they want to fall asleep immediately and are too lazy to look up at the sky.

That night, a little soldier lay on a pile of hay, staring blankly at the sky, missing his distant hometown and secretly shedding tears.

Suddenly, he saw a meteor across the sky, but it did not flash by like a meteor, but fell directly into the military camp.

He stood up and ran in the direction where the meteor fell. He saw a figure with flaming wings on his back standing in an empty place in the hayfield.

"Wow! You...you can fly?"

Gu Jingnian turned around, revealing his pale face, and looked at the thin soldier in front of him, saying, "How old are you to come to fight?"

"Fourteen."

The young soldier answered while stretching his neck and looking at Gu Jingnian curiously. The tears on his face were not yet dry, but his eyes were filled with endless curiosity.

Gu Jingnian said, "I want to see the Left Cavalry General Lou Mingda."

This was the person Kaiping Division asked him to contact after completing the task. Perhaps they did not expect him to complete the task so quickly, or even bypass Han Youxin, so they did not provide specific contact information.

As a result, a somewhat embarrassing situation has emerged.

"what?"

The young soldier was stunned for a moment, looking confused.

Gu Jingnian said: "Tell Lou Mingda that Gu Shiyi wants to see him."

"Lou...Mingda?" The young soldier scratched his head. "General?"

He obviously didn't recognize the general, so he suggested taking Gu Jingnian to find his captain.

Gu Jingnian agreed, and seeing that there were bonfires everywhere in the camp, he extinguished the fire wings to avoid attracting too much attention.

The two men walked out of the hayfield and soon met a few soldiers.

A burly soldier was sitting in the moonlight picking at his fingernails. He must be the captain of the young soldier. When he heard "Left Cavalry General Lou Mingda", he was also confused and reported the matter to his superiors.

Finally, they alarmed the general in charge of the camp, who was very angry that Gu Jingnian flew into his camp and ordered him to be captured.

As for the young soldiers and team leaders who discovered Gu Jingnian, they did not stop the spies but instead cooperated with them and were also punished for treason.

"All in all...I'm collaborating with the enemy?"

Seeing that he was surrounded, the young soldier was so scared that he burst into tears. He cried so hard that the ten cents in his arms fell to the ground. He quickly bent down to pick it up, crying as he picked it up.

He was forced to serve in the army at a young age, and he saved this little money, which he valued as much as his life.

The bowstring was pulled and creaked, ready to take his worthless life at any time.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard in the distance.

"General Lou is here!"

The commander of the camp was greatly surprised when he heard this, and he immediately went to greet him, saying courteously, "This humble general has met General Lou."

"Go away!"

Lou Mingda was wearing silver armor and looked majestic. He kicked aside the generals who were blocking his way and walked straight towards Gu Jingnian. He looked him up and down and said, "Are you Gu Shiyi?"

"That's right." Gu Jingnian said.

"Sir, please follow me." Lou Mingda was very polite.

Gu Jingnian nodded and walked out with Lou Mingda.

After walking for a while, he looked back and saw that the young soldier had been called to his side by his general and was praised a few words.

The young soldier scratched his head and smiled shyly, while the soldiers around him showed envy.

His fate seemed to have changed after meeting Gu Jingnian.

--------

The big tent was brightly lit, and several beauties in military uniforms came in carrying wine and food.

After Lou Mingda brought Gu Jingnian back, he was not in a hurry to talk. Instead, he ordered people to set up a banquet, and considerately wanted him to taste the food of his hometown.

A plate of delicious food was placed on the low table in front of Gu Jingnian.

"Lotus-flavored pork, please enjoy it, sir."

Gu Jingnian looked over and saw that the beautiful woman serving the dishes still had a childish face. He couldn't help but ask, "How old are you?"

"My Lord, I am fourteen years old."

About the same size as the little soldier just now.

After being away for half a year and coming back, he could already feel the decadent and declining side of the Rui Kingdom more clearly. Seeing their conversation, Lou Mingda laughed and said, "If Master Gu likes her, I will give her to him."

Gu Jingnian said: "I'm not here for this matter."

"I know." Lou Mingda dismissed his attendants and said, "To be honest, I have another identity. I am the Director of the Southern Yamen of Kaiping. I was ordered to wait for news from you six months ago. But I really didn't expect you to come back so soon."

"Too fast?"

"I'm overjoyed, what a pleasant surprise." Lou Mingda said, "Did you really bring Gu Beiming back?"

"That's right." Gu Jingnian didn't touch the dishes on the table and asked, "How about exchanging my sister and the others?"

"This doesn't give us any time to prepare." Lou Mingda stroked his beard and sighed, and then said, "Your sister is still in the capital. I can ask Envoy Min to bring them here in person. But...if Mr. Gu deceives me and Envoy Min makes a wasted trip, I can't bear the responsibility."

Gu Jingnian didn't think they needed to prepare anything, and said calmly, "Of course I won't lie to you."

"That's good." Lou Mingda stroked his beard and said, "Then please wait for a few days, Master Gu, and we will make the arrangements right away."

"As soon as possible." Gu Jingnian said, "I can't guarantee that I can control my father for too long."

"Don't worry, I'll send a message to Envoy Min right away."

After settling Gu Jingnian, Lou Mingda recruited a personal soldier and instructed him, "I want to write a letter back to Beijing, number 57."

"Yes, I will bring the messenger here right away."

After a while, the guards brought a strange-looking creature. It had a human face, but the appearance of a child. Its body was covered with colorful feathers, and it looked like both a human and a bird.

This is a strange person named Fuqi. She was born with the same heart as her mother. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can feel each other's joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

"General, Courier Fifty-Seven is here."

Lou Mingda was writing something at his desk. He looked up when he heard this, handed over the written paper, and said, "Deliver the letter according to this content, and deliver it in front of me."

"Yes."

The personal soldier took the letter and unfolded it, only to see a drawing of a beautiful body on it. Lou Mingda had written different numbers and tools on different parts of the body.

For example, "one" and "cone" are written on the lower left side of the abdomen, and "two" and "axe" are written on the right foot.

A rack full of torture instruments was brought in. The guard picked up a sharp awl, grabbed the little Fuqi's hair with one hand, and stabbed it into Fuqi's lower abdomen.

"what!"

"what!"

Late at night, in the capital city of Jing, thousands of miles away, screams suddenly rang out from a dark room.

Several officers jumped up from their sleep in an instant.

"There's a message from the border!"

"It's fifty-seven, record it!"

The light of the torches shone through cage after cage, and in each cage was a girl with the face of an old woman and a feathered body.

One of them, Fuqi, covered her lower abdomen and let out a shrill scream.

The cries echoed in the night, making people feel her immense love for her son.

The next moment, the screams became louder and she fell to the ground, rolling around holding her feet.

"Record quickly, first the lower abdomen, then the legs..."

"Mr. Zou is here."

A short grey-haired old man rushed in from outside and asked, "Who's the number of the person delivering the letter?"

"Fifty-seven."

“Actually.”

The gray-haired old man trembled, took the matter more seriously, and rushed to the cage to observe Fu Qi who was screaming.

As gentle and careful as he had been in raising these beautiful creatures in the past, he seemed so heartless today.

The pain was reflected in his old eyes, but it did not cause any ripples. He only saw the message that was conveyed.

"Mission completed, hurry to Taoling City..."

"Surprisingly." Zou Lao muttered, "It was completed so quickly?"

The screams stopped abruptly.

No. 57 Fuqi, who shared the same feelings with her son, suddenly stopped screaming and a look of sadness appeared on her face, just like an ordinary woman who was worried about her son.

Elder Zou looked at her and said, "Is your son... no longer in pain?"

"Oh!"

The cage dangled.

Fu Qi rushed forward violently and died in front of Mr. Zou. Her son had died in pain, and she didn't want to live anymore.

But it doesn’t matter, the message that needs to be delivered by these mother and son has already been delivered.
