"When we were on duty at the door, didn't Liu Da and Manager Hu tell us that the young master asked them not to guard the courtyard tonight, so they slipped out to drink." The seventh guard of the courtyard looked at the man who was hugging him with a simple knife. The fifth brother said, looking at it casually.
The fifth brother rolled his eyes at Lao Qi and said, "You didn't hear what they said about how angry the village owner was. How dare you defend Liu Da and the others in front of the village owner?"
"I don't dare! Fifth brother, tell me, where can that little girl hide? This village has been closed for a long time, and there are so many of us, but we haven't found any trace of her." Lao Qi looked around the dark waterscape. , said to Fifth Brother.
Fifth Brother looked at everyone searching carefully and lowered his voice and said to Lao Qi: "Judging from the fact that you, Fifth Brother, and I have been wandering around in the world for many years, this little girl is not an ordinary girl. Not to mention that we haven't found her for so long. With her burning down the west courtyard without a sound, she might even be a gangster."
Gu Xiao and Lin'er, who were hiding in the cracks of the rockery, heard the conversation between the fifth brother and Lao Qi in the nursing home during the search. Lin'er's eyes flickered as she looked at Gu Xiao, who was frowning in the darkness and thinking hard about how to escape. His palm was covering his mouth at the moment. It was so warm in this cold winter. Lin'er couldn't help but feel her heart beat faster, and a blush crept onto her cheeks in the dark of night.
Gu Xiao didn't notice the change in Miss Lin'er. He only felt a slight warmth in his palms. Gu Xiao looked at the guards who were leaving. Then he looked back and found that his palm was still covering Lin'er's mouth. Lin'er's apricot With his eyes staring at him, he hurriedly withdrew his palm and whispered: "Girl, don't blame me."
Lin'er smiled and said: "Children of the Jianghu, obey the authority in urgent matters. This little girl still understands this. It's just that you and I are trapped here and have escaped this search. I'm afraid it won't be so good next time." It’s easier.”
Gu Xiao nodded and said: "Those nursing homes have left for the time being. No one will come here to search for the time being, but you and I should leave quickly." After saying that, he got out of the rockery.
Just when Gu and Xiao were about to get out of the rockery, they heard someone outside the waterscape shouting: "Liu Dahuyuan is back, and Manager Hu is back."
"Oops." Gu Xiao felt bad. Before sneaking into Liuzhuang, he calculated the time and knocked these people unconscious. He didn't expect that these people would wake up and return to the village. In this way, the people in Liuzhuang would know that except There are other people in this girl Lin'er. By then, they will definitely search more carefully.
Gu Xiao was thinking and looking in his heart, and saw through the gap in the rockery that he saw a pale man leading a group of nurses angrily to the outside of the waterscape following the voice, and with the help of the "Fifth Brother" and others from the nursery, Liu Da and Hu Guanshi, covered in blood, stumbled from the water view corridor.
The leader with a pale face was Liu Piaopiao, the owner of Liuzhuang. After he ordered the nursing home to seal off Liuzhuang, he ordered someone to report the matter to Elder Fei, and learned that none of the nursing staff in his son's courtyard were in the courtyard. Liu Piaopiao was furious, and just when she was about to question him, she heard that her son's followers, Liu Da and Manager Hu, had returned from outside the village, so he personally brought people to interrogate him.
Seeing the owner of the village coming with an angry look on his face, Liu Da and Manager Hu, who were covered in blood, looked at each other and broke away from the person who was supporting them. They looked at the owner of the village and knelt down, crying loudly.
Master Liu Manor had a gloomy and pale face and asked in a deep voice: "You two are not serving the young master in the courtyard. Why did you come back from outside the manor? Where are the others?"
Liu Dawei knelt down on the ground and winked at Manager Hu. Manager Hu understood and immediately put on a mournful face and said: "The young master brought back a woman from outside the village today. I don't want to let this villain get away from me." I was serving in the courtyard, but I was afraid of being criticized by the young master, so I discussed with Liu Da to go outside the village at night to get some game that the young master likes to eat, and drink with him tomorrow."
Manager Hu quickly told the lie he had discussed with Liu Da in a tearful voice. Seeing that the village owner's complexion seemed to have improved slightly, he amplified his howls and continued, "Liu Da and I led the people out. Zhuangzi, after walking about ten miles, found a mysterious man rushing towards our Liuzhuang. So the villain and Liu Da were worried that he would be detrimental to our Liuzhuang, so they stopped the man. Unexpectedly, the man had extremely high martial arts skills. Liu Da and others fought fiercely with him for a long time, and everyone died in the battle. Liu Da and I were also knocked unconscious by him. When we woke up, we quickly came back to report to the owner of the village."
Liu Da was covered in blood at the moment. When he heard that Manager Hu described the heroic deeds of the two of them in their 'brave fight' against foreign enemies, he cried and said: "Master of the village, even though we fought to the death, we were unable to stop that man." , the little ones deserve to die."
When Guanshi Hu saw this, he also knelt on the ground and tried his best to act out his "heartbreak". I was secretly glad that I followed Liu Da's plan. Recalling that after he and Liu Da woke up, they saw that the 'Hundred Miles of Alone Spring Tuoguang' was gone. They got up and helped each other back towards Liuzhuang. Along the way, they saw everyone tied to the tree and unconscious. .
Just when they were about to wake everyone up, they saw flames rising into the sky in the direction of Liuzhuang's own young master's yard, and the two of them complained repeatedly. After returning to the village this time, they might not be able to save their lives. Just when the two of them were in a dilemma, Liu Da looked stern and told Guanshi Hu what he was planning to do. He would trade the lives of the accompanying people for his and Guanshi Hu's lives.
Seeing Liu Da's fierce look on his face, Manager Hu knew that if he didn't obey, he might even die under Liu Da's sword. With the idea of killing fellow Taoists but not poor Taoists, Hu Guanshi followed Liu Da's plan. The two of them killed all the people accompanying them, pretending to have narrowly escaped with their lives from the mysterious man's knife, and rushed back to Liuzhuang. .
Villa Master Liu looked at the two people covered in blood, and saw the eyes of the guards around him showing reverence. The gloomy look on his pale face softened slightly, and he said, "Although the young master has ordered you not to stay outside the courtyard, But you two violated the village rules and left the village privately at night. I was going to punish you two severely, but because you two fought bravely against foreign enemies, the merits and demerits were balanced, so let's leave it at that."
When the two heard that the owner of the village had forgiven them, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Lin'er, who was hiding in the rockery, heard what Liu Da and Manager Hu said about what happened, and saw Gu Xiao's wry smile. He thought of how Gu Xiao rescued a group of servants from the fire when the west courtyard was on fire. How could it happen? Kill all those followers.
Her clear eyes seemed to have seen through the two men's lies. She stretched out her delicate hand and patted Gu Xiao's shoulder. She laughed softly and said, "Hey, I think you have taken the blame for this."
Gu Xiao also smiled bitterly and replied softly: "Miss Liner, I can trust you."
Lin'er's almond-shaped eyes flickered as she looked at Gu Xiao and said, "I just saw that you couldn't bear the death of those servants in the sea of fire, so how could you kill these followers? Even though these two people were covered in blood, there was no trace of scars on their bodies. None, it’s so obvious. I think it’s not only me, but also the Master Liu. It’s just that everyone in the village is watching. It’s not convenient for Master Liu to take action, but the killing intent is clearly visible in his eyes. From my point of view, everyone in the village is watching. , these two will not survive tonight."
Gu Xiao didn't expect that this young girl could be so insightful into people's hearts. He looked back and stared at Lin'er's face, thinking of the tall man with a beard who was called Xue Hu by the girl in front of him. What came to Liuzhuang?
Lin'er was stared at by Gu Xiao's starry eyes, and she remembered the way he covered her mouth just now. She couldn't help but blush on her face, lowered her eyebrows and said, "What are you looking at me for?"
The sky was already dark, and it was even darker in this rockery. Naturally, Gu Xiao didn't see Lin'er's reddish cheeks. Hearing Lin'er speak, he still couldn't help but want to ask Lin'er why he sneaked into Liuzhuang.
Just when Gu Xiao was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of palm force coming from outside the rockery. He didn't care much, grabbed Lin'er's hand, channeled enough Qing Yi Jue Qi in his chest, stepped on the rockery mountain quickly, and Yun Zong came out. , the figure rises into the sky like a wind.
Lin'er was wondering why Gu Xiao suddenly grabbed himself and jumped into the air. He lowered his head and looked at the rockery where the two of them were hiding. A cold palm force penetrated the rockery. The person who took action was none other than the owner of Liuzhuang in the verandah.
When Master Liu saw Liu Da and his two men returning to the village, and while they were chatting, he noticed that someone was hiding in the rockery, so he lowered the people's vigilance in the rockery by talking, and when the time was right, he would take action instantly.
Seeing that his full-strength palm was dodged by these two people, he watched Gu Xiao and Lin'er floating to the ground.
His pale face turned gloomy, he raised his hand to stop the guards who were about to come forward with weapons, he raised his hands and said: "Since I founded Liuzhuang, I, Liu Piaopiao, have paid my respects to those who should be visited and taken care of those who should be taken care of. , Mr. Liu is not stingy, I don’t know who the expert is, who used such means to come to my little Liuzhuang."
Liu Piaopiao was shocked when she saw this uninvited guest floating in the air, easily avoiding the sneak attack with all her strength, so she stopped her men and resorted to courteous etiquette to try to find out the origin of this person.
Liu Da on the side was already shocked when he saw Gu Xiao. He hurriedly moved to the owner of the village and whispered: "Master of the village, it is this person who sneaked up on us outside the village. The girl next to him is the young master who brought him from outside the village today." Back."
Gu Xiao and Lin'er used Yun Zong to avoid a sneak attack from Master Liu. When he landed, he quickly pulled the hood behind his back and buried his face in the hat.
At this night, Master Jean Liu would not be able to see his face clearly for a while. He lowered his voice and said: "I don't change my name when I'm walking, I don't change my surname when I sit down. 'Walking a hundred miles alone leads to the spring light'."
Liu Piaopiao was filled with doubts. The flower-picking thief Quan Boguang had been caught a long time ago. Why did another Quan Tuoguang appear at this moment? Seeing that this person had easily dodged his aura palm just now, his martial arts skills were at least He is also in the realm of ascending the throne, and he is not sure of defeating him.
At this moment, the only thing we can do is to stabilize this person, let Elder Fei come to help, work together to capture this person, and then interrogate him carefully, and then whispered: "Go and ask Elder Fei to report this matter."
After receiving the order, one of the guards rushed into the crowd and went to the guest room in the east courtyard to find Elder Fei.
Having made up his mind, Villa Master Liu bowed his hands and said, "Even if Brother Quan comes to visit me, I will not stop Brother Quan no matter what. However, this girl next to you will burn down the west courtyard where Quanzi lives tonight, and Quanzi will also suffer." She's seriously injured, please ask Brother Quan to keep this girl so that I, Liuzhuang, can investigate her thoroughly."
As soon as Master Liu finished his words, he heard Gu Xiao pretending to be 'Quan Tuoguang' and laughed loudly: "I, Quan, want to take away someone, and I have never heard anyone dare to stop me. Today I saw this person outside your village. Girl, I made up my mind to take her away. If anyone wants to stop her tonight, don’t blame Quan for being ruthless."
Gu Xiao shocked everyone with his harsh words. He tilted his head slightly and whispered to Lin'er: "Miss Lin'er, I will stop them in a moment. You go first and leave some marks outside the village towards the east. They will definitely do it." I thought you would go east towards Liangzhou City, the west side is full of wilderness, after leaving Liuzhuang, just go west, they will definitely not think that you will abandon the near for the far."
Lin'er looked at Gu Xiaohu's back in front of her with mixed feelings in her heart. As long as she could remember, although people around her always regarded her as their master, no one had ever protected her like this young man. An inexplicable feeling came to Lin'er's heart, and she couldn't help but step forward and ask Gu Xiao opened his mouth and said, "If I leave and leave you alone to face the enemy, what will you do?"
Gu Xiao stared at Master Liu to prevent him from taking action at any time, without looking back, he said softly: "Master Liu is not low in martial arts, but he can't catch me. After you escape, I will have my own way to escape, so don't worry. "
Lin'er felt a little less worried after hearing Gu Xiao's determined tone. Thinking about it in his mind, if he could stay silent and avoid the guards, his Qinggong must be strong. If he did this again, I might be a drag on him.
So he took another step forward, grabbed Gu Xiao's sleeve, and took off the jade pendant from his waist. With a little force with his slender fingers, the jade pendant was divided into two and stuffed into Gu Xiao's hand. Fu Er said with concern: "This thing is called Linglong." If you hold one of the mandarin duck pendants and pour it with your inner strength, you can find out the location of the other pendant. After you escape, you can use this pendant to find me."
Gu Xiao felt the girl's breath lingering in his ears, and quickly gathered his thoughts and said: "Don't worry, girl."
