"Wait, Little San. Go back to the camp."

"Ah? Oh."

Gu Jiao returned to the camp and met Gu Changqing again, "Did you explain to them that the culprit might be Fei Shuang?"

Gu Changqing shook his head, "No."

There wasn’t any point in saying that. Without any proof, anyone would think that he was just making it up.

"Have they not guessed anything?" "Gu Jiao asked again.

Gu Changqing pondered for a moment and once again shook his head, "They never fought with Fei Shuang. A few hidden weapons alone should not be enough to judge that somebody else has been here, and that it was Fei Shuang."

Just as Gu Jiao guessed, since the other party left insufficient evidence, he didn’t have the intention to frame Fei Shuang, but instead force Fei Shuang to come forward himself to defend Gu Changqing.

It seemed that the other party knew about the relationship between Fei Shuang and Gu Changqing, and was sure that Fei Shuang would take the blame for Gu Changqing.

The other party's aim wasn’t to kill Fei Shuang, but to get Gu Changqing out of the military camp so he could frame him for the death of Tang Ming.

It was just, Gu Changqing escaped from prison last night, so why didn't the assassin kill Tang Ming then? Wouldn't he have already succeeded in framing Gu Changqing if he did so?

Gu Jiao stroked her chin and asked, "Could it be that it was inconvenient for the assassin to take action last night?"

In any case, Gu Changqing must leave the military camp today and lure the culprit to kill Tang Ming as originally planned.

In principle, the next day and the day after were also fine, but given that the culprit seemed to be in an inconvenient situation yesterday, Gu Jiao was worried that he wouldn’t be available for the next two days either.

Seriously, what an unprofessional assassin!

After noon, what happened in Gu Jiao's dream happened. Tang Yueshan did convict Gu Changqing and announced that he would be executed three days later at the execution ground of the military camp.

Some people fought for injustice for Gu Changqing, while others were extremely indifferent. The atmosphere among the Gu Family Army was extremely cold and gloomy. They all thought that Gu Changqing simply stood up for them and taught Tang Ming a lesson on their behalf.

But now, Gu Changqing was going to be executed because of them.

"Head, if he really dares to execute Commandant Gu, let's turn against him!"

"That’s right! Let’s all turn against him!"

"I haven't liked Tang Yueshan since long ago! I'd rather have my balls cut off than let myself work under him again!"

The Gu Family Army was outraged.

It was a scene Gu Jiao did not see in her dreams.

But just as they were rubbing their hands together, a fire erupted outside, and then someone ran everywhere while shouting, "Fire! Fire! There’s fire!"

It was the torture chamber that caught on fire, and soldiers rushed to put out the fire without delay. However, as soon as the fire was extinguished, Gu Changqing’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

A soldier shouted, "Not good! Gu Changqing has escaped!"

They searched all over the military camp but failed to find Gu Changqing’s figure. If he had been burned to death, there should at least be remains. Could he have been thoroughly burnt into ashes?

Deputy General Hu immediately informed Tang Yueshan as soon as he learned the matter.

Tang Yueshan fumed, "Just what are you all doing? You can't even keep an eye on a prisoner! Hurry up and search for this commander! Even if you were to turn the capital upside down, you must find Gu Changqing for this commander!"

The night was dark and windy.

Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng, dressed in night clothes, lay down among the flowers outside the courtyard where Tang Ming was.

They had been lying in wait for an hour.

"Will it work or not? Will the assassin really come to kill Tang Ming tonight?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

"Yes." Gu Jiao answered positively.

Nothing much had changed from her dreams. Gu Changqing was still sentenced to death and left the camp. The only difference was the way he got out. But Gu Jiao didn’t think that this would have any effect on the culprit’s course of actions.

Gu Chengfeng said in a small voice, "It's nearly midnight now. Except for seeing people from the Tang Estate coming and going, we haven’t seen even half the shadow of the assassin."

Right. According to her dream, Tang Ming was killed before midnight. The assassin should take action right about now. Why was he still not showing up?

The two of them continued to wait.

The people within the Tang Estate went on coming and going.

Gu Jiao stood up with a rustle and said, "Not good! The assassin’s inside! He's from the Tang Estate!"

Tang Ming indeed deserved to die, but not tonight!

There wasn’t a glimmer of light within the dark room, and there was a faint smell of medicine coming from the censer.

Wrapped up like a sticky rice dumpling, Tang Ming fell into an uncomfortable and painful sleep, unaware that a dark shadow was creeping towards him.

The shadow came noiselessly to the bed and raised the dagger in his hand. The dagger shone with a cold light, which flashed across Tang Ming's eyes.

Tang Ming opened his eyes with a whoosh and exclaimed, "Who is it?!"

The man covered Tang Ming's mouth with one hand while stabbing the dagger he held with the other hand viciously towards Tang Ming’s stomach!

Tang Ming struggled, but how could he still have half the strength to struggle after being gravely injured?

Just as the blade was about to pierce his body, the window was knocked open and a dart flew in, hitting the man on the wrist.

The man's wrist was cut, and the dagger fell to the ground as his fingers loosened in pain.

Seeing that the situation wasn’t good, the man quickly turned around and fled, but the moment he opened the door, he saw Gu Jiao blocking the way.

He looked at the person in black appearing out of thin air in horror. He turned and ran towards the window, but Gu Chengfeng jumped in through the window this time.

Without any route to retreat, his body started trembling with fear, and in a moment of desperation, he suddenly stooped down and grabbed the dagger on the ground with his left hand, wanting to slit his neck with it.

"Oh, want to kill yourself? It's not that easy!" Gu Chengfeng shot another dart and the dagger bounced off his hand.

Gu Chengfeng walked to the wall and pulled out his darts one by one. Then he went to the bed and pressed Tang Ming's mute acupoint under his terrified eyes. He said, "Listen carefully and find out who is trying to kill you."

Gu Chengfeng had met Tang Ming before when he still had a proud and arrogant demeanor. But now, not even half of that pride and arrogance could be seen at all. He only looked scared shitless.

Gu Chengfeng stopped paying attention to Tang Ming. Instead, he slowly looked at the assassin who had been captured alive. He was dressed like the servant boy of the Tang Estate.

Gu Jiao had seen this person when he was treating Tang Ming's injuries openly. He was one of the servants waiting upon Tang Ming then.

Gu Jiao just didn’t remember what his name was.
