Chapter 531

It was precisely with Huang Rong's help.

That Ling Tuisi finally deciphered the secret of the "Selected Tang Poetry".

Gu Hanyuan had already made a conjecture when he saw the divine sense positioning.

Therefore, he was not surprised.

At this moment, in the Jiangling Prefectural Office.

Ling Tuisi was saying with a melancholy expression:

"Madam Guo, there are many Jianghu figures in Jiangling City now. This official is worried about triggering a riot and dare not forcibly expel them."

He was currently cursing Wutian in his heart.

After he had tricked his daughter Ling Shuanghua away, he had never returned.

Nor had he told him the method to decipher the secret of the "Selected Tang Poetry".

Leading to the current situation which was spiraling out of control.

Even the imperial court had sent people.

Even if the treasure were opened, it would have to be handed over.

There was no longer any possibility of monopolizing the treasure.

He could only wait until the treasure was opened to secretly manipulate things and take a portion.

Moreover, given Wutian's current notoriety.

Ling Tuisi did not dare to speak of his cooperation with Wutian.

Otherwise, not to mention others.

North Shaolin would be the first to come and cause him trouble.

Huang Rong was still as beautiful as spring flowers and as lovely as morning clouds.

Except for a trace of worry between her brows.

It seemed as if nothing had changed.

She said solemnly:

"Lord Ling's words are very true. It is best to wait and see how things develop for now; it would be better to wait until the storm passes before opening the treasure."

Ling Tuisi asked wistfully:

"There are still several groups of bandits gathered around Jiangling City now. I wonder if Lord Lu can mobilize troops to come?"

Huang Rong smiled bitterly and helplessly:

"Sorry, Lord Ling. The Mongol Yuan has had unusual movements recently, and the Xiangyang garrison dare not move lightly."

Ling Tuisi was shocked.

What he feared most was a sudden outbreak of war.

In that case, Jiangling City, as the rear of Xiangyang, would have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of logistics.

If Xiangyang City were to fall.

Jiangling City would be the next.

Ling Tuisi asked urgently:

"Mongol Yuan? What is going on?"

Huang Rong explained:

"I heard that the Mongol Yuan Emperor has commissioned the Prince Ruyang's Mansion to invade the Central Plains. They have been making frequent moves recently and have even recruited many experts."

Song Guo's intelligence infiltration into the Mongol Yuan was very poor.

They could only know some superficial news.

As for specific intelligence, they knew nothing.

Ling Tuisi was about to press for more details.

When suddenly a yamen runner came up to report.

"Prefect, Gu Hanyuan of the Wu Dang Sect requests an audience."

Ling Tuisi exclaimed in surprise:

"'Three Absolute Sword Immortal'?"

Huang Rong also asked subconsciously:

"Hanyuan, he has come?"

She quickly reacted that her form of address was too intimate.

A faint red color rose on her pretty face.

Sure enough, Ling Tuisi asked in surprise:

"Madam Guo and the 'Three Absolute Sword Immortal' are on very good terms?"

He suddenly paused in his speech.

And realized with a start:

"That's right. I heard that your daughter and Young Master Gu are a couple. I wonder if that is true or false?"

Ling Tuisi's words put Huang Rong in a very difficult position.

Deny it?

She had seen the relationship between Guo Fu and Gu Hanyuan with her own eyes.

They had long since fallen deeply in love and could not extricate themselves.

Admit it?

Yet Gu Hanyuan had those kinds of thoughts about her.

There was even some ambiguous and unclear tension between the two of them.

Especially the sentence Guo Fu had once asked:

"Will I suddenly have a younger brother or sister one day?"

Which made Huang Rong unable to control herself when she dreamt back at midnight.

In order to avoid Guo Jing discovering any clues.

She had even specifically used the excuse of being busy with military affairs.

To propose the idea of sleeping in separate rooms.

Guo Jing had accepted it readily.

He had always felt it was troublesome to return home from the military camp every night.

And often woke the other person up.

He didn't have the slightest suspicion at all.

This made Huang Rong, who felt guilty in her heart, even more ashamed.

Huang Rong could only prevaricate:

"Just Jianghu rumors. The marriage of children should still be decided by their parents."

Seeing that Huang Rong did not want to talk more about it, Ling Tuisi.

Ordered someone to bring Gu Hanyuan in.

While Huang Rong waited in trepidation.

Gu Hanyuan walked in with a high-spirited and vigorous air.

Huang Rong looked at Gu Hanyuan, from whom she had been separated for nearly two months.

He was still as graceful, dashing, and handsome as ever.

And there was even an added unspoken power in his temperament.

Huang Rong knew why she had this feeling.

It was the influence brought by the North Shaolin Assembly.

She sighed inwardly:

"To be so young and already a top expert in the Jianghu."

Thinking back to when she had compared Gu Hanyuan's Wu Gong with Guo Jing's.

Wasn't that just asking for humiliation?

She remembered that after Guo Jing returned from the North Shaolin Assembly, he had praised Gu Hanyuan highly.

His words were full of admiration.

Especially since he had also brought Gu Hanyuan's greetings to her. ===== CHAPTER 533 =====
