Chapter 156 Rescue
"Thank God, we finally left."

In the carriage, the maid Xin'er, who was sitting next to Gu Mingchuan, cried and thanked the gods. She was really scared last night.

All night long, he was thinking about the tragic end of Duke Ming, whose entire family was executed and himself and his wife and daughter were sent to the Jiaofangsi.

This is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and she was caught red-handed by the emperor. No wonder she was so scared.

Gu Mingchuan was thinking about something else.

The little emperor clearly wanted to make a fuss about this matter, but the result was such a half-hearted effort.

This little emperor is really lame. In the palace, he can't do anything to Zhu Yue. Even if Gong Miaomiao is partly responsible, it only shows that this emperor is easily influenced.

If you can't even handle the female officials in the palace, how can you control the court?
It is said that the empress dowager returned power to the little emperor only for the sake of the royal relatives. In fact, she was still manipulating everything behind the scenes. This statement does make sense.

There is Lin Chen in the court.

With Zhu Yue in the palace, the little emperor was completely sidelined.

Just as he was thinking about it, the carriage was stopped and a man covered in a black robe got into the carriage.

Gu Mingchuan did not stop him, as he had already spotted the other person. The other person took off his hood, revealing a face that looked exactly like his current one. It was the real owner, Gu Yiting.

At this moment, her face turned pale. "What happened? Why did you spend the night in the palace?"

Apparently, he did not leave the palace yesterday, which made her worried all night.

Gu Mingchuan felt somewhat guilty facing her.

To some extent, he can be considered as NTR to the other party.

"There was a little accident..."

He recounted in detail what happened last night, of course, skipping his interactions with Zhu Yue.

Gu Yiting was terrified after hearing this. She didn't expect that such a thrilling thing would happen last night. If something went wrong, it would really bring trouble to the family.

She said bitterly, "I shouldn't have agreed to your ridiculous request."

Gu Mingchuan said solemnly, "Miss Gu, I will remember this favor."

After saying this, his face twisted, then returned to his original appearance. He got off the carriage and quickly disappeared.

……

I believe Gu Yiting can handle the aftermath of the Gu family.

Gu Mingchuan found a place to change back into men's clothes, took out the note that Gong Miaomiao handed to him before leaving, unfolded it and read it, "The Queen said that this is Marquis Weiyuan's family affair, and she can't interfere. However, she said one thing, the old Marquis Weiyuan is not in the Marquis Weiyuan Mansion now, and he won't be back for at least a month."

Oh.

Gu Mingchuan's eyes lit up when he saw the last message.

The one person in Weiyuan Marquis's mansion that really frightened him was the old Weiyuan Marquis who was in the realm of life palace. If this person was not there, he could sneak into Weiyuan Marquis's mansion by himself and rescue him.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, returned to the inn and began to plan.

……

Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

Recently, the young marquis Wang Yaowu has been in a bad mood. Xue Yuanfeng has not come to see him these days, so he can only drink alone.

Not long ago, the battle at Heiniuzhai was a good opportunity for him to make a contribution, but he ended up losing to a demon from the Xuanming Sect in full view of everyone.

Afterwards, he guessed that this person was the popular Gu Mingchuan.

At that time, Gu Mingchuan had just been on the Grandmaster Ranking for a short time and was ranked 50th. However, he was defeated miserably by the opponent, which he regarded as a great shame.

Wang Yaowu has always been very confident in his own strength and believes that he is not weaker than the top ten on the Grandmaster List.

What made him even more depressed was that his own sister, who was born of the same mother, actually went against the Demon Suppression Division for the sake of Gu Mingchuan, and was therefore punished by her furious father.

It has been more than half a month now, and my father has not forgiven my sister. He has a bad feeling in his heart that if this continues, my sister's body will not be able to bear it.

My father has always attached great importance to the reputation of the Marquisate. I'm afraid he wants to use my sister's life to give an explanation to the court.

Wang Yaowu could do nothing but drink to drown his sorrows.

He felt extremely miserable and hated that bastard Gu Mingchuan to the core.

If it weren’t for that bastard, how could my sister have ended up like this?

Wang Yaowu got drunk again and did not leave the restaurant until dark, trying to numb himself in this way.

However, as a ninth-level divine master, no matter how much he drank, he could never get really drunk, and it would only increase his pain.

On the way back to the mansion, he suddenly instinctively sensed danger and his mind suddenly cleared up, but it was too late.

In just a moment of hesitation, a fist hit him silently on the vest, and terrifying force penetrated his body.

He screamed and was seriously injured on the spot.

"It's you!"

The moment Wang Yaowu was hit by the punch, he recognized the identity of the opponent and was filled with fear.

What’s surprising is that this guy is actually not dead.

What’s terrifying is that he actually broke through to the Dharma Image Realm.

The force that penetrated his body was a magical power so strange that it actually suppressed the regenerative power in his body, making it impossible for him to recover from his injuries.

He has completely lost the ability to move.

Then, Wang Yaowu was picked up and left the place at an extremely fast speed.

After a while, he was locked in a room and his clothes were stripped off. Then, he heard Gu Mingchuan say to him, "I'm sorry to ask you to stay here for a day. I'll borrow your identity." After that, he left.

Wang Yaowu was left tied up like a dumpling, his mind full of questions. What did he mean by "borrow my identity"?
Is it...

Suddenly, his heart was shaken, and he thought of a possibility. An extremely complicated emotion surged in his heart.

……

Not long after, at Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

"Wang Yaowu" came back, drunk. When the servants in the mansion saw him like this, they didn't dare to say anything or ask anything, so they let him in.

Wang Yaowu stumbled towards the backyard, probably because he was drunk and almost went to the wrong place.

After going around in a long circle, I finally found the ancestral hall.

When he arrived at the ancestral hall, he saw a woman standing in front of the door. She looked somewhat similar to Wang Xining, so she should be her sister.

This "Wang Yaowu" was Gu Mingchuan in disguise. He heard the woman say, "Second sister, you have to hold on. Don't you firmly believe that your lover will come to save you? Hold on for a few more days, maybe he will really come."

Gu Mingchuan felt a bit sarcastic when he heard this, and sighed in his heart that the relationship between sisters in this wealthy family was so bad.

He swung out a gust of wind from his finger, knocking the nagging woman unconscious, then walked forward and pushed open the door of the ancestral hall.

An old man suddenly appeared and said in a deep voice, "Sir, the Marquis has ordered that no one is allowed to—"

"roll!"

Gu Mingchuan threw out a punch, using the same move that Wang Yaowu had used that day in Heiniu Village. With his intelligence, he naturally mastered this move easily.

The old man also had the cultivation level of the ninth level of the Divine Hidden Realm. At such a close distance, he had no time to react and was knocked away. He spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

Gu Mingchuan dealt with the troublesome person and walked over. He looked at Wang Xining, who was dressed in white, holding a black whip in both hands, his body trembling constantly, and his breath was extremely weak. His face looked a little unhappy.

Marquis Weiyuan is so cruel that he treats even his own daughter like this.

Aren’t they biological children?
"Brother...no...don't..."

Wang Xining also discovered his elder brother's intention and wanted to stop him.

Gu Mingchuan had already discovered that the reason she could maintain this posture even though she was so weak was because of the black whip.

He walked forward, grabbed the whip, and tried to lift it, but he couldn't.

The whip seemed to be welded together, and even with his strength, it couldn't move at all.

Yo ho.

Gu Mingchuan didn't believe it, so he gathered all his strength and lifted it up suddenly.

With a crack, the ground could not withstand such a strong force and it sank, forming a pit.

He suddenly realized that the whip could not be removed by brute force.

"It seems to be of earth attribute."

Gu Mingchuan thought about it and came up with a countermeasure. He poured the innate earth energy in his body into the whip, and immediately, the whip showed some reaction.

Finally moved.

He lifted it up little by little and soon it slipped out of Wang Xining's palm.

Her body went limp and she was about to collapse to the ground.

Gu Mingchuan let go of the whip, hugged Wang Xining, and walked outside.

At this time, many people had gathered outside the ancestral hall, but no one dared to step forward to stop him. They consciously made way for him to carry the person out of the mansion and soon disappeared.

……

After a while, Marquis Weiyuan finally showed up. Seeing the ruined ancestral hall, the severely injured clan elder, and the mountain-suppressing whip fallen on the ground, his face became gloomy.

He shouted angrily, "Why don't you send someone to find that rebellious son?"

"Yes."

Under the leadership of the butler, almost everyone in the marquis's mansion went out to look for the prince.

Only Weiyuan Hou was left in the ancestral hall. He waved his hand and took the Mountain-Suppressing Whip. His face had returned to normal and he said softly, "You little brat, you're so heavy-handed."

Having said that, he looked quite relieved.

After this matter gets out, it will be enough to give an explanation to the imperial court and the Demon Suppression Division.

……

A day later, Wang Yaowu finally regained his ability to move. He struggled hard to break the ropes on his body, then found some clothes to put on.

He was anxious to get back to the Marquis' Mansion, and on the way, he heard people talking about how the prince of Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion broke into the ancestral hall and rescued Wang Xining last night.

He was stunned for a moment, his pace slowed down, and he said, "This bastard!"

Then he turned around and left while no one recognized him.

He decided to take the blame for this.

Otherwise, if others knew that someone had ambushed him and then disguised himself as him to rescue people at Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the mansion would really become a laughing stock.

Even if he was punished by his father when he returned home, he would be willing to do so.

It can not only save my sister, but also preserve the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion.
