Chapter 390 Explanation (3)
"What do you mean by leaving?" Meng Yin whispered.
Gu Ling frowned and stared at her.
"Who told you..." Meng Yin asked. Judging from Gu Ling's reaction, he probably already knew it, but he must have misunderstood something.
Gu Ling put his coat on her and said, "Pei Xuanxi told us last night."
Pei Xuanxi...that means A Zheng let the secret slip, or Pei Xuanxi guessed it.
Meng Yin said: "I understand, you solve this first, and then we can talk it over."
Gu Ling lowered his eyes. He didn't like treating Meng Yin like this either. It was a very bad idea.
The strip of cloth was untied. Meng Yin looked at him resentfully and said, "Actually, I was going to tell you about this in a few days."
Gu Ling nodded slightly, motioning for her to continue.
"This matter is very complicated. What did you hear from Pei Xuanxi?" Meng Yin asked.
Gu Ling replied: "He said that you will leave here in nineteen days."
"What else?" Meng Yin tilted her head.
Gu Ling thought for a while. When Pei Xuanxi said that last night, his head felt like it exploded. He couldn't hear anything else. He only remembered that Meng Yin would leave him.
Meng Yin let out a long sigh and said, "I knew you misunderstood. I was wrong not to tell you before, but I was also very sad at that time. Gu Ling, you have to know that I never want to leave you."
"Really? Ayin." Gu Ling hugged her, "If you leave me, I can't bear it..."
"Really, really." Meng Yin coaxed patiently. She looked around and asked, "Where is this?"
Gu Ling said: "The secret room of the Soul Devouring Hall."
Meng Yin: "... Let's go back to the Gu Mansion first. We need to discuss this together."
As she spoke, she lifted the quilt and tried to stand up. Gu Ling held her down and said in a deep voice, "Ayin, swear first that you will never leave me."
Meng Yin felt a little uncomfortable. This matter might not be up to her, but Gu Ling was in a bad mood right now, so she had to consider him first.
"I swear I won't leave Gu Ling."
After saying that, she gently kissed Gu Ling's lips.
The two of them packed up and went back to Gu's house.
Just as they reached the door, they ran into Tao Tao and others who looked anxious.
Tao Tao grabbed her and said, "Yinyin, where have you been?"
Meng Yin smacked her lips and said, "It's nothing. I just slept with Gu Ling in the Soul Devouring Palace for one night."
Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I thought something had happened."
Meng Yin said: "Let's go in and talk slowly."
No one had eaten breakfast yet. Xia Nian got up early and wanted to call Meng Yin to discuss countermeasures, but the maid said that she was not in the room because she was a little tired last night. Tao Tao and Xu Zheng went to look for Meng Yin first and happened to meet her at the door.
In the main hall, Xia Nian sat on a chair, thinking about something.
Seeing Meng Yin and the other two coming, she raised her head and motioned for them to come over.
Breakfast was placed on the table. Xu Zheng couldn't hold it in any longer and directly took a big bun. She drank some wine last night and vomited several times during the night, so her stomach was already empty.
Meng Yin said helplessly: "A Zheng, you let it slip."
Xu Zheng smiled awkwardly, looked at the people around her, and explained: "I was drunk yesterday, and some of the things I said were not right. Let Yinyin and the others explain it."
Hearing this, the four men looked at them.
Meng Yin coughed twice and told them all about their life stories, how they came here, and why they went back.
"So, you are not from Anhong Continent, but were arranged here to reconcile our relationship." Pei Xuanxi said thoughtfully, and now all his previous doubts about them were resolved.
The four of them nodded, and Xia Nian said, "When I got the book, only Yinyin read it. She only remembered one tyrant, Gu Ling."
Hearing this, the three of them looked at Gu Ling again.
Meng Yin said: "Don't look at it, the other three are you. The name of the book is "The History of the Split of Anhong Continent", but when we came, Anhong Continent was still fine, so we guess that the purpose of coming here is to prevent you from splitting."
She shrugged. "We did, too, apparently."
"As for why the old man asked us to stop you, we don't know." Xia Nian said, and Han Qianfeng suddenly flashed through her mind. She hurriedly said, "If that's the case, then Old Han's plan didn't succeed in the original history! Because his goal was to become the emperor, but the four of them split up and became a four-way confrontation."
Meng Yin nodded and said, "That's right. He only cared about his dream of becoming an emperor and didn't understand the reality of society. Naturally, he couldn't succeed. But the subsequent wars and the division of the continent into four countries were closely related to Han Qianfeng."
Tao Tao suddenly thought of something and asked the four people: "Were you on good terms when you met us?"
Yi Qing said: "Although we don't trust each other, we still have the friendship of fellow disciples."
The three of them were a little surprised when he said that. Pei Xuanxi continued, "We had a good relationship in the academy, but it gradually faded after I was chosen as the heir. Now that I think about it, it was Yi An and Gu Huai who had a hand in it."
Xiahou Yu thought of the key point. "At that time, Ah Nian stopped the hijackers. On the ship were the herbs of the Soul Devouring Hall, the hidden weapons of the Wanxiang Building, and the gunpowder of the Qianji Sect. If they were really destroyed, the trust between us would collapse."
This reminded Xia Nian, and she said, "No wonder the old man wanted to send us to that time, because that was a turning point!"
Meng Yin's eyes widened: "That damn old man sent me to Gu's house, but the person I met was Gu Huai!"
Gu Ling's eyes darkened as he said, "It seems that he doesn't understand us. Where Gu Huai is, there is no me."
Meng Yin wiped a cold sweat off his forehead. It was her behavior on the street that attracted Gu Ling.
Tao Tao said softly: "But fortunately you didn't have any disagreements later..."
The four of them were silent. Now they understood. At that time, they were wondering why Meng Yin and the others were always trying to bring them together openly or secretly, and even put themselves in danger. It turned out that they had a mission to accomplish.
Xu Zheng was full and said, "So that's what happened. It's not complicated. We haven't decided whether we will leave or not. What we want to do is see if we can meet the old man and have a good talk with him."
She drank a mouthful of rice soup. "Otherwise, wouldn't our work be in vain? We went through a lot of dangers along the way."
She looked as if she didn't take it seriously, but Pei Xuanxi felt a little uncomfortable. It turned out that Xu Zheng had lived in a completely different world from here before, but she came to this unfamiliar place, and fortunately she met him.
In that case, he would never leave her.
Xia Nian spread the book on the table, and on it were two Arabic numerals - 19.
Xia Nian said: "This number is what we use there, nineteen, which is likely the number of days we will be away, but we are not sure what will happen. The four of us all want to live well in the remaining days."
She looked at Xia Houyu: "That's why I didn't tell you. I didn't want you to worry as much as I did."
Xia Houyu shook his head and held her hand: "Wouldn't it be even more difficult to accept if we waited until the last moment?"
Xia Nian nodded and said, "Well, let's wait and see."
The four of them fell silent. They had never heard of such a situation before and didn't know what to do for a moment. It seemed that they could only wait for that day to come.
"Hey, don't be discouraged." Xu Zheng couldn't help but say when she saw the quiet atmosphere. In fact, she was also confused in her heart. "After all, it's still uncertain now, so let's cherish every day."
For now, this is all we can do.
