Gu Qing couldn't explain how important Huangfu Sisi was to him. From the perspective of outsiders, what he valued was Huangfu Sisi's cooking skills and nothing more.

Even Gu Qing himself felt that she was not important. At the beginning, he defined her as a cook, and he was just a diner.

Diners can appreciate and praise the chef's skills. This dish is delicious, and that dish is also delicious.

But diners will not care who the cook who made this dish is or what sad past he has.

People who like to eat eggs will probably not pity the mental journey that the hen that laid the eggs has gone through.

Since when did Huangfu Sisi become more than just a cook in Gu Qing's heart?

Maybe it was because he gritted his teeth and lent him a hundred taels of silver cake when he was in poverty, or maybe he accidentally saw her being beaten to the ground by a guest. Even when she was in such a state of embarrassment, she still did not forget to comb her hair, and maintained a woman like a deceiver.

The most basic dignity, no matter how much you want to cry, you must force yourself to show a strong smile...

Gu Qing had to admit that from that time on, Huangfu Sisi was no longer just a cook who cooked delicious food. She should be his friend. He could trust her with his back and not worry about her stabbing him in the back.

kind of friend.

It's hard to find such friends, and some people never meet them in their entire lives.

Since it is not easy to find such a friend, he should cherish her and not disappear from his life without warning.

It's not that she is not allowed to disappear, it's just that he needs a reason to disappear.

"All the delinquent commanders, delinquents, and officers in the Jie Mansion are mobilized to find her! Fifty personal guards are also scattered throughout the city to find out about her. No clues can be missed!"

Gu Qing gave the order forcefully, staring into the uneasy eyes of the bad handsome man. Gu Qing slowly raised three fingers and said: "Three days, I'll give you three days. Find the person within three days. If you want to see the person alive, if you want to see the corpse,

If you can't find it, you will also become a missing person."

The bad handsome man trembled all over, licked his lips a few times, and wanted to ask Gu Qing for a few more days of grace. However, seeing the non-negotiable expression on Gu Qing's face, the bad handsome man had no choice but to shut up with a bitter expression.

In the city of Qiuci, there are so many rumors about this Jiedushi, and the common people and businessmen all spread the praises. Some of them are true rumors, and some are spread by rumors, and the rumors become more and more outrageous. In the end, the words in people's mouth

The Marquis has almost become a star in the sky and descended to earth, and all his deeds have been beautified into myths.

Among the many rumors, the most true is the character of Mr. Gu.

He is decisive in killing, fierce as fire, and will do what he says.

Lord Gu said that he was given a three-day limit to find the person, so he had to work hard to find the person within three days, otherwise he had no doubt that he would really become a missing person and disappear from the world forever without anyone noticing.

Wang Gui was quickly called to the inn from the camp by his personal guards, and stood in front of Gu Qing with a smile on his face.

This guy always looks immodest, even his posture is loose, and he has a bit of cynicism. However, he has restrained himself a lot in front of Gu Qing. It is said that he is simply a bastard in front of the robes. He eats, drinks, whores and gambles.

So proficient.

He sent half of the reward money that Gu Qing gave him back home, and kept the remaining half for himself. In less than half a month, he spent more than 20 dollars on food, drinking, whoring, and gambling. Han Jie was so angry that he was in the big house.

The people in the camp chased him, beat him, and called him an unfilial son.

Gu Qing looked at him with a smile, looked at him a few times, and said, "Is the injury healed?"

Wang Gui chuckled and said, "It's already done. If the Marquis sends a villain to fight against the Tubo thieves, he can still kill seven people."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "It's not that dangerous. I'll give you an easy job this time... I heard that you spent all the reward I gave you last time?"

Wang Gui said coyly: "Master Hou, money is really something that is not easy to spend. I just drank a few flower wines in a brothel in the city and played with the bosses a few times. The money disappeared inexplicably..."

Gu Qing sighed: "Han Jie said you were an unfilial son, but that's not true. At least you sent half of it home to support your parents, but you must be a prodigal. No matter how much money I give you, it won't be enough. Wang Gui, you really made the wrong investment."

You should be born into a wealthy family and be a playboy with nothing to do."

Wang Gui smiled and said: "By the good words of Lord Hou, I will definitely work hard in my next life and strive to have a good pregnancy."

"Okay, do your job well this time. If you do a good job, I will give you another 20 coins. The job is to help me find someone. The female shopkeeper of the inn is missing. Find her as soon as possible."

Wang Gui was surprised: "The female shopkeeper has disappeared? Oh, what a pity. That woman was born with beautiful face and beauty, but she died without warming the bed for the Marquis to sleep. What a pity..."

Seeing that Gu Qing suddenly turned cold, Wang Gui hurriedly apologized: "The villain made a mistake, please don't blame me. It turns out that the female shopkeeper has some friendship with several of our personal guards, Pao Ze, and it was she who helped to get the information about the Tibetan army."

, as a favor to her, I will try my best to find her."

Gu Qing waved his hand and said: "Go, I can trust you to do things safely, that's why I asked you to handle this matter. I will leave fifty personal guards to you to arrange, and we will search the whole city to find her."

whereabouts……"

After a pause, Gu Qing emphasized his tone and said slowly: "She... is very important to me."

Wang Gui bowed and saluted: "I understand, I will find her and warm the bed for the Marquis."

Gu Qing was so angry that he wanted to whip him. This guy never forgot about warming the bed. It seemed that what Han Jie said was true. He was actually a bastard.

…………

One day passed and things still had not improved.

The bad commander mobilized all the bad guys and officers in the Jie Mansion to find out about Huangfu Sisi. He first asked the clerks in the inn one by one to rule out the possibility of acquaintances committing the crime or seeking revenge, and then spread throughout the city to look for witnesses and people who could provide clues.

After searching for a whole day, nothing was found. She seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no one knew her whereabouts.

Wang Gui also led his guards to search the entire city, finding houses in the market and asking everyone he met, but still found no valuable clues.

When the news was reported to Gu Qing, Gu Qing's expression became more solemn and worried.

Did this goblin-like woman run away with someone else?...Is there another dog outside?

It doesn't matter if the person runs away, but the secret recipe for cooking is not left behind. This is too much.

"All the personal guards should disperse and search the whole city!" Gu Qing became a little confused.

The atmosphere in Kucha City has become tense again in the past few days.

I don’t know why Mr. Gu went crazy. Not only did the bad commanders of the government lead their servants to ferociously inquire about the whereabouts of a woman, but even the personal guards around Mr. Gu went into the city wearing armor and searched for the woman in various places such as markets and residences.

Traces of women.

Countless curious people and businessmen were talking about it, all speculating about what kind of woman could make the Lord of Anxi so nervous that he would even disturb the whole city to find her whereabouts.

The young unmarried women in the city are full of longing, imagining that they are the woman who makes the Marquis nervous. If they can be searched for by the Marquis with such great fanfare, even just once, they will die without regrets in this life.

The businessmen were secretly worried. Last time something happened in Kucha City, a sharpshooter shot a businessman dead in the market. They were afraid that another enemy would sneak into the city this time. The woman the Marquis was looking for might be related to

The relationship between men and women has nothing to do with it. They are searching for enemies. After all, I have never heard of a high-ranking person going to such great lengths for a woman. There must be some unknown secret behind this matter.

No one knows that the reason why Lord Gu is looking for this woman is not that complicated at all.

Just because this woman is his friend.

There was a rumbling sound in Kucha City, and some people in the Jiedushi Mansion were even more frightened.

Bian Lingcheng sat in the room with cold hands and feet. Any movement outside would make his nerves tense.

With a pale face, he drank from a cup of water. His trembling hands could not hold the cup, and a lot of hot water spilled out and fell on his clothes.

Bian Lingcheng did not expect that Huangfu Sisi was so important in Gu Qing's heart, so important that he would not hesitate to make the city a mess. His wolf-like guards were like out-of-control buffaloes, wandering aimlessly in the city.

The ground collides and tramples.

Today's Kucha City is like a boiling oil pan. Any drop of water can cause the oil pan to explode.

What a miscalculation!

Huangfu Sisi was just a businesswoman who ran an inn, and I had never heard that Gu Qing thought much of this woman. Why did the Marquis search for her all over the city as if he was possessed by an evil spirit when she disappeared?

Could it be that Gu Qing really has feelings for her? But... she is just a business woman. With such a humble status, do you still want to marry her home? A noble prince, a prince with military power, marries a business woman and goes home.

, even just being a concubine is embarrassing enough, don’t you think it’s shabby?

With your status, you should marry at least the daughter of a prince. Even asking the emperor to marry a princess is not too much. How can you fall in love with a business woman? You shouldn't!

Because he misjudged the importance of Huangfu Sisi to Gu Qing, Bian Lingcheng found that the situation was out of control. A strong sense of crisis enveloped his heart, and he realized that he had gotten into trouble.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Bian Lingcheng trembled all over. He looked at the closed door in horror and said in a trembling voice: "Who?"

The voice of the entourage came from outside: "Supervisor..."

"Come in." Bian Lingcheng tried to make his expression look natural.

As the follower walked in, the fear in his eyes was exactly the same as Bian Lingcheng's.

"Supervisor, Gu Qing's personal guards are running rampant in the city, and they have been searching for the whereabouts of that woman. They seem determined not to give up. We may be in trouble." The entourage said in a panic.

Bian Lingcheng's face turned pale again, and he lowered his voice and said, "Is Huangfu Sisi still locked up in the Jie Mansion?"

"The villain saw the strict investigation in the city yesterday, and fearing that things might change, he took the initiative and moved her to another place to be detained. There was an abandoned woodshed in the north corner of the backyard of Jie Mansion. No one passed by on weekdays, so the villain locked her up there.

Already."

Bian Lingcheng nodded and said: "It's good to wait for water, don't... don't treat her too slowly, let alone beat her, leave us a way out, Gu Qing values ​​her so much, if we hurt her, I'm afraid Gu Qing will not be able to
