Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 235 Rescuing the Iron-Eating Beast, the Doting Sister Maniac Goes Online

"Let's do it first thing tomorrow morning," Gu Qingyue thought to herself, weighing the things she needed to do and deciding on the departure time.

My presence here would indeed distract them; I should leave Qihe Town first.

With the people of the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince dealt with, the biggest alarm was over, and she felt much more at ease.

As for the subsequent negotiations and mediation with the Nanzhao delegation, she couldn't offer any help.

Firstly, I don't meet their social standing, and secondly, I don't like watching them engage in such effeminate verbal battles.

She still remembers a sentence her mentor from her past life said.

In ancient history, diplomacy was a very fussy and womanly affair.

I also told them many bizarre events in the diplomatic history of various dynasties.

For example, the two sides might taunt and insult each other, or even fight, pulling hair, tearing clothes, spitting, and using any means necessary.

At the time, the students discussed privately, "Isn't this how parliaments in some countries hold meetings?"

Now, thinking about Mu Yun Chu and the Nan Zhao delegation... uh, I can't think about it, it's too much!

Gu Qingyue shook her head, quickly dismissing this absurd idea.

Her mission tonight is to first get her hands on the Iron-Eating Beast, then go see the two injured people and see if she can get any useful information out of them before returning to Lizhou.

We must ride at breakneck speed, just in time for the New Year.

"Reporting, General Mu!" A messenger's urgent voice rang out from outside the door.

"Speak," Mu Yun Chu turned around.

"The Vice Minister of Rites and his entourage have arrived outside Nanchong Pass," the messenger replied, bowing respectfully.

Mu Yun Chu and Gu Yuan Ming exchanged a glance. They had originally planned to send Gu Qing Yue away from here before returning to camp tomorrow, but now it seemed they had to go back immediately.

"Mu Nan," Mu Yun Chu called out to the door, "You stay here and escort A Yue back to Lizhou tomorrow."

After giving instructions to Mu Nan, Mu Yun Chu turned to Gu Qing Yue and said, "We have to head back to camp now. Take care of yourself. I'll have Mu Nan take some men to escort you back."

"Let Mu Nan stay and help you. I can manage on my own."

Gu Qingyue wanted to say that all her men were safe and sound outside Qihe Town.

"Be obedient," Mu Yun Chu understood what Gu Qing Yue meant.

She is hers, and his desire to protect her is his own choice, so that she can have more security, right?

“You know my people are all nearby, and I won’t feel at ease until you have someone with you,” Gu Qingyue said, frowning.

Mu Yun Chu looked at her for a long time, then nodded helplessly, "Okay, take care of yourself, and write to me when you get back to Lizhou to let me know you're safe."

Gu Qingyue nodded immediately. Of course, that was a must!

After saying that, Mu Yun Chu gestured for Gu Yuan Ming to set off together.

Gu Yuanming watched the interaction between the two, his feelings were complicated and hard to describe.

However, now is not the time to explore this.

He turned to Gu Qingyue and said, "Have your fourth brother protect you and get back to Lizhou as soon as possible. Be careful. Your third brother will have the chance to come back to Lizhou to see you when the time comes."

After saying that, he strode towards the front yard.

Gu Qingyue waved her hand with a smile.

As she watched Gu Yuanming's figure disappear into the distance, a warm feeling flowed through her heart. So this is what it means to have brothers and sisters who care about you?

After Mu Yun Chu and Gu Yuan Ming returned to the camp outside Nan Chong Pass with their men, Gu Qing Yue and Gu Yuan En discussed what to do next.

When Gu Yuanen learned that Gu Qingyue was going to steal the iron-eating beast, he thought he had misheard.

"Moon, you need your fourth brother, the Iron-Eating Beast, to help you find it. You don't need to steal it from others."

"Fourth Brother, it's not for the Iron-Eating Beast, but because I can't bear to see them kill it, so I have to save it."

"save?"

Gu Qingyue looked completely innocent. "Yes, they bought the Iron-Eating Beast to cut off its four large paws for medicinal purposes. How can I just stand by and do nothing when such a cute little animal is going to be used as fertilizer?"

Gu Yuanen thought for a moment, then looked at his younger sister's face, "Save her, we must save her!"

In Gu Yuanen's current dictionary, his sister is always right, even when she's wrong.

A doting brother is online; all idlers, stay away!

Half an hour later, the two finished getting ready and arrived at the Moon Shadow Pavilion meeting point in the east of the city.

This meeting point is a small, two-courtyard house that they recently bought. They plan to use it as a small outpost for Moon Shadow Pavilion on the border of Nanzhao, which is perfect.

When they arrived, Yue Ling and the boys were already waiting.

The meeting point was also a key element in Gu Qingyue's training sessions for the boys.

Unlike other martial arts organizations, Moon Shadow Pavilion operates as a team.

When traveling and carrying out missions, at least two rendezvous points must be established upon arrival at each location to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.

Having a fixed meeting point prevents team members from getting lost and scattered when problems arise.

"Yueling, how are those siblings from the Thunderbolt Hall doing?" Gu Qingyue asked this as soon as she saw Yueling.

"According to the brothers who returned, they are waiting for a divine doctor. They are going to take the four large paws of the Iron Beast in Qihe Town, and then return to Lizhou," Yue Ling told Gu Qingyue in detail the news reported from below.

"A miracle doctor?" Gu Qingyue frowned deeply.

Thinking about that little black and white furry ball made me feel even worse.

"They're really going to kill the Iron-Eating Beast?" Gu Yuanen asked in surprise upon hearing Yue Ling's words.

"However—does it really require a divine physician to remove the four palms?" Gu Yuanen wondered, thinking about this.

"I've also inquired about this. According to an old doctor, to use the bear paw of the Iron-Eating Beast in medicine, you must first cut open the bear paw to extract the essence in the middle, and then cut off the large paw and process it before it will be effective," Yue Ling said, recounting the information she had gathered.

Gu Qingyue: Which bastard doctor said that?

They actually intend to treat the iron-eating beast so cruelly?

Gu Qingyue could no longer remain calm.

She was no saint either; she had killed countless people.

But I just couldn't bear to see the iron-eating beast die like that.

She thought for a moment, "Keep a close eye on the brother and sister, I'll go and rescue the iron-eating beast myself."

After saying that, he turned around and went back inside.

When he came out, he had become an inconspicuous young boy, dressed in the clothes of an ordinary servant.

If Gu Yuanen hadn't been standing in the courtyard watching his sister go into the same room and then come out again, he definitely wouldn't have recognized her at all if they were on the street.

Gu Yuanen's eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw the slender young man walking up to him!

He needs to take it slow.

"Moon, you--------", Gu Yuanen struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter these three words.

"Fourth Brother, do you want to help me?" Gu Qingyue looked at the boy's wide eyes with a sly smile, as cunning as a fox.

Gu Yuanen nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, then you should change your clothes too," Gu Qingyue said, handing him a set of light gray robes.

Standing to the side, Yue Ling asked: "Fourth Brother? Did he hear something incredible?"

These past few days have been quite a shock to him!

First, the pavilion master he admired and respected turned into a woman, and now, his pavilion master is calling the young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion "Fourth Brother".

What Fourth Brother?

He also wanted to find a relative; he wondered if Young Master Gu needed any brothers.

"Come on, I'll disguise you."

Gu Qingyue looked at Gu Yuanen staring blankly at the dusty clothes in her hand with amusement, and spoke up.
