A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 138 Trying to scare Zhou Hanzhang away

At this moment, Gu Qingfeng truly wished he could find a block of tofu and smash his head against it to die.

Luckily, he had a thick skin and managed to hold back, grinning at Xiangxiang, "I never thought we'd become family with Miss Xiangxiang. I told you yesterday we were destined to be together, didn't I? What did you say then?"

Xiangxiang looked at the shameless Gu Qingfeng and couldn't help but laugh, "That's right, I never thought we would have such a fate."

Gu Qingfeng felt a little embarrassed when he saw Xiangxiang agreeing with him.

He scratched his head. "So, have we found the person now?"

Zhou Hanzhang shook his head. "There were some doubts, so my master went to look for her and told us to wait for her here for three days. If she hasn't returned by then, we'll figure out what to do next."

Gu Qingfeng hadn't heard what they had been saying earlier and was completely confused, but given that General Gu was there, he didn't dare to ask.

"Actually, we only suspect that there is a connection between these things, but we are not sure yet. Don't you have people here? Why don't you arrange for them to continue searching? We will also start searching from Cuiyan Town and Yanbian to see if there is any other news."

Zhou Hanzhang looked at Xiangxiang and said earnestly, "Then I'm really sorry to trouble you."

Xiangxiang grabbed Zhou Hanzhang's hand and patted it, "Don't say such things. Since you are Liu Niang's disciple, then you are our master. This is what we should do."

Gu Qingfeng was stunned when he saw this scene.

As soon as Xiangxiang left, Gu Qingfeng pulled Zhou Hanzhang aside and asked, "You didn't sell yourself, did you? This... this feels like a dream."

Zhou Hanzhang finally couldn't hold back and tapped him on the head, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"No, we were only separated for a short while last night. How did you suddenly gain this new identity? Why would Liu Niang take you as her disciple? Isn't she the owner of Yunju? How come Xiangxiang from the brothel is now one of hers?"

Zhou Hanzhang looked at Gu Qingfeng, not wanting to explain further, gave General Gu a meaningful look, and then turned to wash up.

Seeing that Zhou Hanzhang had left, Gu Qingfeng approached General Gu and asked, "Father, what does this mean?"

Little did he know that General Gu ignored him and turned to leave.

In the few days since Liu Niang entered Shishan, Xiangxiang has also arranged for people to intensify their search efforts, and Zhou Hanzhang's bodyguards have also been assigned to spread out to various areas, but ultimately there has been no further news.

Three days passed, and Liu Niang still hadn't returned.

Even the usually calm Xiangxiang became a little anxious. She hurriedly went to Yunju to find Zhou Hanzhang. "Young master, we have arranged for people to guard the entrance of Shishan, but we haven't seen anyone come out at all."

Zhou Hanzhang had also learned some information in the past few days and knew that Shishan was indeed as strange as Xiangxiang had said. Now that the three days that Liu Niang had promised to do had passed and she had not returned, people could not help but think about it.

At this moment, because of her own reasons, Liu Niang risked her life to enter the Stone Mountain to help her find someone. Putting aside the fact that her father and the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty might be in the Stone Mountain, even if they weren't, she couldn't let Liu Niang just disappear in the Stone Mountain like that.

“I’ve studied two maps these past two days. Since my master hasn’t come out yet, she might have encountered some trouble inside. I’ll take some people in to look for her.”

Zhou Hanzhang made a decisive statement.

"But..." Xiangxiang was very conflicted. Although Liu Niang had said that if she hadn't returned in three days, they would make further plans, she hadn't said anything about making such plans.

"This is too dangerous."

“But my master knew it was dangerous, yet she still went in to help me find people. Of course, I couldn’t just leave her inside and ignore her.”

“I have to go in and find her,” Zhou Hanzhang said again.

Xiangxiang sighed, "I can't go in with you. I have to keep an eye on this business. If, if..."

Xiangxiang didn't say the rest, but Zhou Hanzhang understood what she meant.

"It's okay, I'll be careful."

"How about I write a letter to the eldest young master and see what he says?"

"No need. Master has been inside for three whole days now. We don't know what happened to her there. If something is holding her back, that's fine, but if there's any danger..."

Zhou Hanzhang dared not think any further. "It would take us several days to send messages back and forth. We can't afford to delay any longer. I plan to set off now."

"This……"

Seeing Zhou Hanzhang's serious expression, Xiangxiang knew she wasn't joking. "Then I'll arrange for some people to accompany you inside?"

Zhou Hanzhang shook his head. "We don't know anything about what's inside right now, but I have this map. I'll follow the route on the map, and there shouldn't be any problems. But it's still best not to have too many people. If something really happens, we'll all end up going in for nothing."

"But you're Liu Niang's newly accepted disciple, we can't let anything happen to you, can we?"

"If my master is gone, what kind of disciple am I? Enough said, let's arrange it like this. I'll take He Shi with me, and the rest of you can wait outside for our news."

Xiangxiang sighed. After Liu Niang took Zhou Hanzhang in, she immediately sent people to find out about her. Naturally, she was able to find out about her past personality.

Before Zhou Hanzhang transmigrated to the Great Zhou Dynasty, although the original owner of the body didn't have many activities, it was found that once she made a decision, almost no one could change her mind. This is strangely similar to the current Zhou Hanzhang.

"Then I'll prepare some tools for you to handle any situations you might encounter while you're in the rocky mountains."

Zhou Hanzhang didn't refuse, saying, "Then I'll trouble you."

Xiangxiang looked worried. "It's no trouble at all. Please wait a moment, I'll get it right away."

After Xiangxiang left, Zhou Hanzhang found General Gu and told him his plan.

General Gu became anxious upon hearing this, "How can this be? What if something happens to you?"

"Don't worry, I've studied the map and done some drills these past few days. If we follow the route on the map and don't wander off, there shouldn't be any problems."

"That won't do either. How can you let yourself go to such a dangerous place alone?" General Gu still disagreed.

"Don't worry, there are two of us, we can protect ourselves."

"No, even someone like Shadow couldn't get out, so going in would just be suicide! I disagree!"

General Gu put on a stern face, exuding the imposing aura he usually projected as a general, in an attempt to intimidate Zhou Hanzhang.

Zhou Hanzhang remained unmoved. "General Gu, not to mention that my father and my imperial uncle might be in this rocky mountain, even my master went in to look for people because of me. She hasn't returned yet, so I must go find her for both personal and professional reasons."
