Chapter 551 She's amazing, coming from another world!
"But we don't have any capable men. With just a few old guys and a few hundred guards with mediocre martial arts skills, we probably won't be able to kill them even if we find them. Instead, we'll become their meal!"
How could Elder Lu not know the current predicament of the Ink Pavilion!
He was at his wit's end!
At this moment, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Gu Qingyue.
Gu Qingyue sighed, wondering if she should trust herself so much.
Fine, she'll get involved in this hot potato first. Otherwise, if the area around Lizhou is infiltrated by villains, it will be difficult for Mu Yun Chu to eliminate them later.
People's livelihood is no small matter!
"Moon, do you have any good suggestions?"
Gu Yuanen spoke up. They all knew that their younger sister had a lot of people under her command, and each of them was highly skilled in martial arts. If there was anyone who could still turn the tide in this matter, it would be Gu Qingyue.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue raised her hand, "Leave it to me first. Let's arrest a few of the rebels and find out what's going on."
"Those men in black are extremely skilled in martial arts. Can your men handle them?"
Old Master Lu didn't look down on Gu Qingyue, but based on the situation at the time, he knew very well what kind of expert his guard leader was, and that he had died at the hands of the other party, so he had to pay enough attention!
He didn't want the sect leader's descendants to die innocently!
The reason he came to Lizhou was not only because he genuinely wanted to learn more about General Gu's descendants, but also because he hoped the Gu family could find a way to rectify the situation at the Mo Pavilion.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we will act with caution."
Gu Qingyue smiled. Although she wasn't entirely confident, she wasn't afraid of the men in black that Old Lu had mentioned. At worst, she would take action first to check the situation. After all, she had a way to protect herself.
"In that case, I entrust the Ink Pavilion to Second Young Master Gu and everyone else. I am ashamed!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Lu immediately stood up and bowed to Gu Changling and Gu Qingyue, catching everyone off guard.
"Old Lu!" Gu Yuanjin, who was standing nearby, quickly helped Old Lu up.
"Elder Lu, there is no need for such a grand ceremony. The matter of the Mo Pavilion is not only a matter for the Mo Pavilion, but also a matter of livelihood for Lizhou and the Northwest. We will do our best to address it."
Gu Changling looked at Old Lu's aged face and sighed.
Gu Qingyue also felt uneasy. The Mo Pavilion's power was mainly in the northwest and southwest. The incident mainly occurred in Lizhou and its surrounding areas in the southwest. It was obvious that someone was eyeing Lizhou and the southwest region.
It is true that Elder Lu said he was powerless, especially since the Moge Guard Corps was currently ineffective.
It's clear that from the moment she transmigrated to this world, she knew that the power she relied on was the foundation for survival, and she was absolutely right.
It's time for everyone in Moon Shadow Pavilion to undergo their third body tempering!
When Elder Lu and Feng Shuyan left, Gu Changling was clearly somewhat surprised.
"Moon, do you have enough men? What are their martial arts skills like? Should I go and scout them out first?"
Gu Changling was puzzled by his sons' high regard for their daughter. He knew that Gu Qingyue had some young guards under her command, who were said to have been rescued by her and were quite skilled in martial arts. But the men in black that Old Lu mentioned were no pushovers.
How could someone who doesn't know their daughter possibly handle this?
"Father, rest assured, you need to take good care of your health. It's not advisable to resort to violence now," Gu Qingyue said. How could she let Gu Changling take such a risk?!
Although his father's martial arts skills had reached the level of a grandmaster, the injuries he had sustained over the years had clearly diminished his abilities.
"Senior brother, what do you think?" Gu Qingyue turned to look at Liu Feng, who had been silent all along.
"I'll go arrest them; you handle the interrogation yourself."
Liu Feng knew that his junior sister had her own way of interrogating people. He had heard from Yue Ling and the others that his junior sister had even subdued the strange Yue Ji, making her obediently reveal a lot of information.
Gu Qingyue nodded, "You should take Yue Ling and Yue Ran with you."
With three people looking out for each other, it's relatively safer.
Since the men in black wiped out the Mo Pavilion Guard Corps, they must have left people to protect those rebels; otherwise, Elder Lu wouldn't have said those people were troublesome.
Liu Feng nodded, cupped his hands in greeting to everyone, opened the door, and went out.
The room fell silent. After a moment, Gu Yuanjin spoke first.
"Moon, the southwest is full of refugees and bandits. You and King Li will probably have a lot of trouble in the future. Do you want to take control of the Ink Pavilion? Old Lu is getting old after all. I'm afraid the situation of the Ink Pavilion is much more complicated than he said! If it is stolen by villains, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Gu Qingyue naturally understood her elder brother's good intentions. She was also hesitating. The Mo Pavilion had a diverse group of people, including martial arts practitioners, peddlers, merchants, and artisans with exceptional skills.
Integrating these together would be no small matter.
"Is it alright for Yue'er? Yue'er is a woman and will soon marry into the royal family. Would Prince Li allow you to have such a martial arts force under your command?"
Gu Changling remained silent for a long time, also finding the situation extremely troublesome.
He has lost all his memories and is very weak. He doesn't know what will happen to him when he returns to the capital. He certainly won't be able to control the Mo Pavilion, and he doesn't want to.
His sons... apart from Gu Yuanen, the others all held official positions and were not allowed to control the Mo Pavilion.
As for Gu Yuanen, he is still studying and doesn't have many people under his command. Moreover, he prefers to be unrestrained and free, and he wouldn't like to do these kinds of things.
It seems that only a daughter with connections can do this job.
Gu Qingyue had actually already thought about it.
If she were to take control of the Ink Pavilion, she might disband it at the right time, and it would be perfectly acceptable to establish some institutions under the Lizhou government to replace the functions of the Ink Pavilion.
The Great Chu doesn't have these institutions now, but it's not impossible for them to appear in the future.
The ancients couldn't have imagined it, but she, a person from another world, could!
It all depends on people!
Old Master Lu's current troubles were nothing compared to those in his previous life.
Of course, it's entirely feasible for her to find other ways for the people of Moge to make money.
"Father and elder brother, rest assured, we'll remove these cancerous growths before returning to the capital." Gu Qingyue's confident demeanor piqued the interest of her father and brothers.
For a time, everyone started talking about the affairs of Lizhou and Moge, making it quite lively.
The group didn't disperse until lunchtime.
Back in his courtyard, to his surprise, Mu Yun Chu was sitting at a small stone table waiting for him.
Standing behind him was someone Gu Qingyue hadn't seen in a long time—Jiang Wan.
Last time in Zhucheng, she left Jiang Wan behind to help Yu Mo keep an eye on Nanzhao's movements. Presumably, Yu Mo has been sent back and there is news.
"Master!" Jiang Wan's eyes lit up immediately when she saw Gu Qingyue.
"Yes, you're back. Have you heard anything from me?"
Gu Qingyue sat down opposite Mu Yun Chu. "How long have you been waiting?"
Mu Yun Chu shook her head, indicating that she should deal with Jiang Wan's matter first.
"Your Majesty, news has come from Nanzhao that the Grand Shaman has activated the Gu poison, and the King of Nanzhao is in imminent danger."
