Chapter 356

"If it were Senior Zheng and that so-called Immortal Master fighting at the Embroidered Uniform Guard yamen, Senior Zheng, who is only in the Two-Path Realm and roughly at the level of an offering... I'm afraid it's ominous."

In the secret room, Wang Hai made a judgment without emotion.

He and Xiaosi had no friendship with Zheng Yi, only meeting once on Mount Tai. Later, they only heard a few words from the news brought back by You Zi'ang; to him and Xiaosi, Zheng Yi was no different from those offerings; if she died, it would be a pity, but they wouldn't be heartbroken.

Gu Feixuan woke up only after Zheng Yi and Cao Hanyan left, and hadn't seen her with his own eyes, so he just remained silent.

But Gao Anyu was truly anxious.

Without a word, he grabbed the black ruler, turned around, and walked toward the water.

Wang Hai stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder.

"Brother Gao, with our martial arts, even if we go over, it will be of no help, it's better to think long-term..."

Bang!

Gao Anyu raised his hand and framed his hand away, running forward by himself, about to leap into the water.

"Sigh... Brother Gu, stop him."

Wang Hai flashed to catch up, raising his hand to hook Gao Anyu's arm.

Gu Feixuan also sighed; although he basically knew nothing, he could roughly understand the current situation by listening to Wang Hai. He also knew that with Gao Anyu's martial arts, going over now was just looking for death.

He ran quickly in front of Gao Anyu, reaching out to stop him.

"Brother Gao, you must not—"

Before he could finish, he paused, and the arm blocking Gao Anyu also lowered somewhat involuntarily.

Gao Anyu looked at him, his face already full of tears.

His lips were pursed, biting hard, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. Tears gushed out like two clear springs, dripping down his chin, his eyes bloodshot, simply like a wounded wild beast.

"Move."

Gao Anyu said.

Gu Feixuan's fingers trembled.

He had only been with Gao Anyu for a day, but Gao Anyu had no city government at all. In Gu Feixuan's eyes, he was almost like a child, his temperament was both jumping and innocent, even meeting the two garrison eunuchs during the day was like playing.

But right now... there was no more playfulness in Gao Anyu's hoarse voice.

The seriousness and killing intent in his tone were just like when Gu Feixuan faced that middle-aged eunuch... Gu Feixuan knew that if he continued to block him, Gao Anyu would really kill him.

So he looked at Wang Hai.

"Brother Wang."

Wang Hai said "Tsk" and let go of his hand.

"Brother Gao, since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you, but if you just rush over like this, it will be of no use to Senior Zheng, and might even become a hostage for the enemy."

"I'll give you two useful means, but you also have to promise me two things, how about that?"

Gao Anyu finally stopped and turned to look at Wang Hai.

Wang Hai shook his head and reached out to Xiaosi.

"Fourth Sister, give him something."

Xiaosi nodded and reached into her bosom to take out a small iron jar and handed it to Wang Hai.

Wang Hai held the small jar in his hand and said to Gao Anyu in a deep voice.

"Brother Gao, I want to make it clear to you. With your martial arts, going there is no different from sending yourself to death. Our lives belong to the Commander, and won't be wasted on the road of sending ourselves to death with you; you must be clear about this."

Gao Anyu nodded silently.

Wang Hai continued.

"But since you are someone the Commander values, we might be colleagues in the future, so I can't ignore you... I'll give you two means."

He reached into his bosom, took out a map, and handed it to Gao Anyu along with the small jar.

"Secret passage map, Miaojiang poisonous insects."

"If you face them head-on, these two things can't deal with that Immortal Master Zheng, but if you need to escape, they can give you a few more chances of survival."

"But there are two things you must promise me."

Gao Anyu looked at Wang Hai, not saying a word.

"First, no matter what plans you have, at least until you confirm that you are absolutely safe, we will not contact each other."

"Second, the Commander values you very much, so if you can do something, do it, but if you really can't, try to save your life... the Commander will arrive by tomorrow at the latest, and everything will be settled by then."

"Don't waste the Commander's cultivation of you, do you understand?"

Wang Hai said, and patted the two things into Gao Anyu's hands.

"I have said all I have to say, Brother Gao, take care of yourself."

Gao Anyu stared at the things in his hands for a while, said "Thank you" hoarsely, and turned to leap into the water.

Gu Feixuan looked around and sighed.

"Brother Wang..."

Wang Hai waved his hand.

"We are all people who practice martial arts, we have three parts of evil in our hearts, it's reasonable to be unable to hold it back, no need to say more, if you want to go, go."

"If Brother Gao does anything impulsive, you can stop him."

Gu Feixuan nodded and bowed.

"In that case, Brother Wang, farewell."

After saying that, he turned and leaped into the water, chasing after Gao Anyu.

The two landed on the shore, looked at the secret passage map Wang Hai gave them, found one closest to the Embroidered Uniform Guard yamen, and drilled into a secret passage.

Skipping the middle process, about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense later, Gao Anyu and Gu Feixuan stopped in the secret passage and listened intently.

The thunderous sound that had been echoing in their ears was not far away.

The two looked at each other, quietly lifted the cover plate above their heads, drilled out of the secret passage, and looked around.

This place was an eatery, exactly the one where Cao Hanyan and Zheng Yi ate during the day, opposite the Embroidered Uniform Guard yamen. It had three floors, and the highest floor could just overlook the scene inside the Embroidered Uniform Guard yamen.

The two walked up the stairs quietly.

Gu Feixuan opened his mouth in a low voice.

"Brother Gao, there is one thing I haven't figured out yet, about those Heaven-Men, Yingzhou, Immortal Masters, etc., I don't know much, you listen to see if I'm overthinking."

"According to Battalion Commander Wang, this Immortal Master Zheng killed four Heaven-Men of the Two-Path Realm overnight, and didn't spend much effort; logically speaking, Senior Zheng shouldn't have the power to fight back in front of him."

"But from the time we escaped Longjiang Post until now, the thunderous sound in the Embroidered Uniform Guard yamen has been going on for half an hour... this doesn't match what Battalion Commander Wang said."

Gao Anyu paused.

Gu Feixuan continued.

"Even if it's a test, or that Immortal Master Zheng wants to do something to Senior Zheng, fifty moves should be enough. Fifty moves for a Heaven-Man is just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, how could it have been fighting until now without stopping?"

"So I feel that there must be a change in this matter."

Gao Anyu nodded silently, and the two stepped onto the third floor.

As soon as they entered, Gu Feixuan looked toward the roof, reached out to stop Gao Anyu, and pointed toward the roof.

Gao Anyu held his breath and listened intently, but a look of joy appeared on his face, and he shouted in a suppressed voice.

"Brother Cao! Is it you?"

Knock, knock, knock.

Three rhythmic knocks came from the roof.

Gao Anyu was happy and was about to flip onto the roof, but was pulled by Gu Feixuan. He tried to shake him off, but was held tightly by Gu Feixuan.

"Brother Gao, don't make a sound, don't move."

Gu Feixuan leaned into his ear and said in a voice that couldn't be heard.

"Listen... the fighting sound has stopped."

"Over at the Embroidered Uniform Guard yamen, someone is coming toward us."
