The small leader finished giving his instructions and glanced at Gu Qingheng, "Then you can go deliver the al."
Gu Qingheng bowed and then turned to walk toward the cave halfway up the mountain.
At the entrance of the cave, the guards still checked both him and the food box. Only after finding no issues did they open the iron door of the stone cave.
Gu Qingheng first glanced around the stone cave. It wasn’t very large, with only one entrance. There was no light inside, only so dim light coming in from the entrance, but it was enough to see the situation inside the cave.
Although Qi Jingyun had always appeared very calm, he had been trapped for over a month. So many days without the ability to bathe or shave, and unable to eat or sleep well, he was already extrely haggard.
Looking at the bearded man before him, if not very familiar with the Qi family, even Gu Qingheng might not have guessed that this was the formidable Prince Yun.
Upon seeing soone enter, Qi Jingyun did not even lift an eyelid. They gave him one al a day just to keep him from starving to death, yet he couldn’t die so miserably like this, so he had to eat.
Gu Qingheng crouched down and opened the food box. Inside was a bowl of porridge, a stead bun, and a dish of pickles, causing him to frown.
A clinking sound rang out as Qi Jingyun raised his arm, bound by chains, grabbed the bun, and began eating.
Though he was in a sorry state, his actions remained graceful.
Gu Qingheng had to admit that this person was innately proud and carried the elegance and stubbornness of the Imperial Family at all tis, making him quite respectable on that basis alone.
Once the other had finished eating, Gu Qingheng crouched down to start cleaning up the dishes. In an instant, he swiftly reached out and grasped the other’s hand.
Qi Jingyun was montarily stunned.
But Gu Qingheng quickly stood up, picked up the food box, and was about to leave because he heard footsteps approaching, distinct from those of the cult mbers; it should be an expert.
Just when he reached the door, the cave darkened, and soone was already standing at the entrance.
Qi Jingyun clenched his fist, where just now a dicine pill had been slipped to him. Originally he resisted, but when he t the eyes in front of him, he accepted it, knowing he would be rescued.
Though being saved by Gu Qingheng felt sowhat embarrassing, now was not the ti for pride; he couldn’t die so pathetically. He couldn’t help but glance at the retreating figure holding the food box, a slight smile on his lips, but upon seeing the dark silhouette at the entrance, his gaze dropped.
Gu Qingheng quickly slipped to one side of the entrance, slightly bowing his body in a display of humility.
Fla entered, glanced at Gu Qingheng, and then withdrew his gaze.
Moxie glared at Gu Qingheng, "Why aren’t you hurrying out?"
Gu Qingheng hurriedly bowed and was about to leave.
"Wait." Fla suddenly spoke.
Gu Qingheng imdiately stopped in his tracks.
Even Qi Jingyun was a bit nervous.
Fla walked up to Gu Qingheng, "What’s your na?"
"I’m Liu Daniu..."
But Fla suddenly struck, aiming straight at Gu Qingheng’s chest.
Gu Qingheng reflexively raised his arm to block, but he was too slow. A thud echoed, and he was sent flying, crashing into the stone wall with a bang before falling to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood. His mask fell off.
