54. Ironwood

Chu Yunqing obviously didn't expect that Gu He had such a trick and could actually remember the chess game just now.

But that didn't mean he had nothing to do. This time he clapped his hands directly, and all the white pieces on the chessboard and the chess pot were shattered by him.

Gu He was so angry that his chest was heaving, and he looked fiercely at the somewhat proud guy opposite.

"Am I winning now?" Chu Yunqing asked deliberately.

"You win? In the next life!" Gu He said, got up and left.

"Hey, don't leave in a hurry yet." Chu Yunqing stopped her quickly.

Gu He turned around and sneered, "What's wrong?"

"You have to be willing to admit defeat." Chu Yunqing said.

"You can use tricks, but why don't you let me cheat?" Gu He said coldly.

Chu Yunqing said seriously: "It really can't be done this time. Next time, I'll allow you to cheat."

Gu He almost laughed out of anger at him, "You are really thick-skinned!"

Chu Yunqing clasped his fists.

Gu He calmed down, thought for a while, and said, "You came to the capital just to know this?"

Chu Yunqing nodded.

"But how come I heard that you have a good relationship with the Jin Yiwei named Ai Xiaozhou and even live in her house?" Gu He asked seemingly unconcerned.

Chu Yunqing was shocked. Sure enough, everything that happened after he came to the capital was under the control of the other party.

"I didn't expect you to be so interested in me." He wanted to change the subject.

Following the example of Yan Hongran, he didn't want Ai Xiaozhou to fall into Gu He's sight this time.

"Who knows that you are Chu Huanyu's brother? Of course I have to treat you well." Gu He said.

Chu Yunqing was stunned for a moment, and then his mind trembled, "Huan Yu? What do you mean by this, and what does it have to do with him?"

"It seems you don't know." Gu He nodded.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Chu Yunqing frowned.

"It's nothing." Gu He didn't want to say more.

Chu Yunqing still wanted to press him.

"Do you want to know about Yan Hongran, or do you want to inquire about Chu Huanyu?" Gu He interrupted.

Chu Yunqing said quickly, "We all want to know."

"Do you think you are Chen Meng?" Gu He glanced at him.

"Who is Shen Meng?" Chu Yunqing felt a little overwhelmed.

"There is a monk in the White Horse Temple in the divine capital, who is known as the most beautiful man in the world." Gu He said casually.

Chu Yunqing was puzzled, "Then what does he have to do with this matter?"

Gu He looked at him and sarcastically said, "You are not as beautiful as him, but you are quite beautiful in your mind."

Chu Yunqing was stunned at first, and then his face turned red. This bastard was actually trying to ridicule himself in a different way.

However, he was asking for help at this time, so he had to suppress his shame and anger.

Chu Yunqing then thought about it. Chu Huanyu was his biological brother. He didn't tell him his identity now, but he would tell him sooner or later. Moreover, he had always been measured and there were reasons for making such a decision. So why should he have to do it?

Go and inquire?

Therefore, the most urgent task is to first find out the news about Yan Hongran and determine whether she is alive or dead.

"Just say Sister Hongran." Chu Yunqing looked at Gu He, "Is she alive or dead now, where is she?"

"I don't know whether he's dead or alive." Gu He said, "As for where he is, I don't know either."

Chu Yunqing clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Are you kidding me? You took me away, and you told me you didn't know?"

Thinking of this, Gu He's face became a little gloomy, "It's true that I took him away, and he returned to the capital of gods, but something went wrong not long ago."

"What do you mean?" Chu Yunqing asked.

"Do you still remember that woman named Qing Fei, the maid next to Yan Hongran?" Gu He said.

Chu Yunqing didn't know why she mentioned Qing Fei, but she definitely remembered that that night in Taiyuan City, when Gu He took Yan Hongran away, Qing Fei also disappeared.

At that time, he also thought about whether the other party had followed Gu He.

It sounds like this now.

"Of course I remember." Chu Yunqing nodded.

"What is her relationship with Yan Hongran?" Gu He asked.

Chu Yunqing frowned, but still replied: "Sister Hongran is her savior."

Gu He nodded, "Yan Hongran was snatched away by her."

Chu Yunqing was stunned, "Available by Qing Fei?"

After hearing this, he felt relaxed, disbelieving, and confused.

If Qing Fei followed Gu He all the way just to snatch away Yan Hongran, Chu Yunqing believed in this determination, but he did not think that the other party had the ability or means.

Qing Fei's martial arts was taught by Yan Hongran. Although she has good talent, to be honest, her martial arts is just that. She is pretty good in the Yuan Xing Gang, but if she compares with Gu He, she is definitely no match.

How could she snatch Yan Hongran away?

"I knew you didn't believe it." Gu He said.

"What's going on?" Chu Yunqing asked in confusion.

Gu He said: "Yan Hongran still has a back-up, which is the iron sword in Qing Fei's hand."

Chu Yunqing frowned. Qing Fei's iron sword was not given to him by Yan Hongran, but was something he had always carried with him when he fled. In other words, it was originally Qing Fei's thing.

Is it possible that there is something fishy about that iron sword?

"That is actually the ironwood from Feihua Village in southern Xinjiang." Gu He said, "A branch of the thousand-year-old ironwood."

Southern Xinjiang, again, Southern Xinjiang. Chu Yunqing felt that he had been involved in a lot of things related to Southern Xinjiang recently.

And when he heard about Fei Huazhai, he somehow remembered the 'Huazhai' that Yan Changyu had mentioned at that time. Could this be the same place?

But then I thought about it, there are many flowers in southern Xinjiang, and there are quite a few places and villages named after flowers. Maybe it’s just a coincidence.

As for the ironwood, he had only heard of the flowering of the ironwood tree, but he had never heard of any ironwood.

"Ironwood is a rare treasure. You should have heard the idiom "ironwood blooms". In addition to the common explanation, the reason why it cannot bloom is because the ironwood is rooted in the earth and only absorbs underground nutrients, but is blocked from the natural flow of energy."

Gu He said: "Because of this, iron wood also has a function, which is to isolate the natural qi of heaven and earth."

Chu Yunqing's eyes moved.

Gu He said calmly: "Iron wood just restrained the alchemist's mystical skills, and I was stabbed by Qing Fei."

As she spoke, she rolled up her left sleeve, revealing a two-inch long scar on her arm.

Of course, a woman's skin cannot be shown to men at will, but in order to prove the truth of her words, Gu He had already abandoned such worldly concepts.

After Chu Yunqing took one look, he quickly looked away.

Gu He looked calm and put down his sleeves, "And I didn't expect that there would be someone to pick her up in the capital of the gods."

Chu Yunqing was startled and thought about the fact that the Yuan Xing Gang did have good friends in the capital.

"They are not the people Yan Hongran visited when he came last time." Gu He knew what he was thinking as soon as he looked at him, "but they are people from the Jianghu, or in other words, from a sect."

Chu Yunqing thought for a while and asked: "So, do you suspect Qing Fei has another identity?"
