The wind and snow in Jianglin City blew to Yanbei, not only covering the night sky, but also making the night almost as bright as day. Gu Xiao carried Yang Huchen and followed Si Wei Xiaoliu's footsteps, walking through the snow. Yanbei Mountain was already dense with snow. It was difficult to walk, and with the wind and snow, it was even more difficult to discern the direction.
Gu Xiao knew very well that if he continued walking like this, he was afraid that the group of people would be covered by the heavy snow before they could find the hiding cave. He had true energy to protect his body, so he could still withstand it, but those who were leading the way were Si Wei and the little girl looked like they could no longer hold on any longer. They made a prompt decision and quickly called Si Wei Xiaoliu.
"In this windy and snowy day, we need to find a place to hide first, and then we can continue on our way after the wind and snow."
Xiaoliu grew up in Yanbei and knew how severe the wind and snow were. He knew that if he continued walking like this, everyone would be frozen in the snow. But now the wind and snow are blowing in our face, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction. Where can we find shelter from the snow? place. When they were in a dilemma, Xiaodouzi's words in his arms awakened Xiaoliu and Gu Xiao.
"Eldest brother, sixth brother, the old man in the county once said that when the wind and snow are severe and there is nowhere to hide, if the snow is thick, you can dig a hole to keep warm, and you can temporarily avoid the wind and snow."
Hearing Xiaodouzi's words, Gu and Xiao suddenly realized it. They braved the wind and snow and hurriedly dug a hole in the snow... Yang Huchen was still unconscious on Gu Xiao's shelf. Xiaoliu hugged Xiaodouzi tightly and got into it together.
The few people were temporarily out of danger and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Gu Xiao could hear the howling of the wind and snow outside the cave. Although the snow cave was sheltered from the wind and snow, the temperature was still extremely low. Xiaoliu could still withstand it, but the little girl in his arms was already dead. She was shivering, and ice beads had formed on her long eyelashes.
Seeing this, Gu Xiao took off his cloak, put it on the little girl, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I see that although the wind and snow are strong, it is short-lived. As long as you can survive it, you will be fine."
With the big cloak wrapped around him, Xiaodouzi suddenly felt a lot warmer. He had been sensible since he was a child and didn't want his elder brother to worry about him. He squeezed out a smile on his lips and said: "Don't worry, elder brother. Xiaodouzi grew up in Yanbei. Although he is young, he has such a wind." I’ve seen snowy weather before.”
"By the way, my benefactor, I... we don't know my benefactor's name yet." Temporarily out of danger, Xiao Liuzi finally had time to ask his benefactor's name.
Gu Xiao said with a smile: "Don't mention my benefactor's words again. If Brother Xiaoliu and Xiaodouzi hadn't come to help me in the snow, I might have died under the snow. It's better that our names match each other."
"How is that possible? Mr. Mu saved Mo Jun from the hands of thieves. How can we call him by his name?" Although Xiaodouzi is young, he still firmly remembers the principle of repaying kindness with a drop of water and a spring. His face showed stubbornness and refusal.
Gu Xiao saw that this little girl had a temperament similar to that of Sicheng Moti, so he stroked her head, but he was still thinking about the strange behavior of the masked man just now.
He was buried in the snow caused by the bandit's self-explosion in Dantian. Even if Xiaoliu and Xiaodouzi came, with his martial arts, it was easy to kill himself and Yang Huchen who were under the snow at that time. Why did he want to kill them? The wolf saved himself. He wanted to save others, but why did he do it again? Why did he use his inner strength to heal himself by fighting with him? A series of questions made Gu Xiao a little distracted.
Xiaodouzi's eyes flashed when he saw his benefactor, and he said that he had disobeyed him, which made him feel unhappy, and he timidly said: "Well... Brother Mu doesn't like us calling you benefactor, so Xiaodouzi said If you don’t call me, brother Mu, don’t be angry.”
Gu Xiao was interrupted by Xiao Douzi's words and said with a soft smile: "Sister Douzi, you misunderstood. I was just thinking about the strange behavior of the masked man just now, and I couldn't figure it out for a while."
After saying this, Gu Xiao temporarily put aside the matter of the masked man, rubbed Xiaodouzi's head again, and turned his eyes to the unconscious Yang Huchen.
"Brother Xiaoliu, help me help Mr. Yang sit up." The space in the snow cave is small, but Gu Xiao can no longer wait. Although Yang Huchen is a member of the army, compared with himself, his internal strength is insufficient, and the bandit explodes The shock of death was too great, and fearing that Yang Huchen might be in danger of death over time, he asked Si Wei Xiaoliu to help Yang Huchen sit up.
Gu Xiao mobilized his internal force and reached Yang Huchen's back and heart. As the internal force entered his body, Yang Huchen's eyes, which were closed all the way, moved slightly.
Xiaodouzi, who was still feeling cold and unbearable just now, saw Gu Xiao exerting his inner strength and passing on skills to save people. The temperature in the snow cave rose a little. It was not as cold and unbearable as before. He was very curious and wanted to get closer, but He was stopped by Xiao Liu softly.
Although Xiaoliu is just a little guard, he has also seen masters in the martial arts world. He knows that when transferring inner power to save people, he cannot be distracted or disturbed. While blocking Xiaodouzi's curiosity, he is also always on guard against the snow cave. In addition, to prevent some mountain animals from straying in and disturbing the young man's rescue.
Yang Huchen was already strong and healthy and had been in the army for many years. Although he was stunned and buried in the snow for a long time, as Gu Xiaozhenqi entered his body, he opened his eyes slightly and saw the scene of the snow cave after a short while. , just as he was about to look around, he heard a young man's voice ringing in his ears.
"This is the moment for healing. Don't be distracted, otherwise it will leave the root of the disease."
His dazed mind was awakened by a word. Yang Huchen finally recalled the previous events and remembered that the young man had revealed his identity and that he was entrusted by General Wan. He immediately calmed down and allowed the young man to heal his wounds.
After burning the incense, Gu Xiao withdrew his internal energy. Even though it was freezing cold, he was already sweating on his forehead. He exhaled a breath and said to Yang Huchen: "General Yang, your internal injuries are no longer serious. It's just the external wounds. It's quite deep, there is no doctor here, so you still need to be patient for a while."
I wanted to stand up and salute to thank the young man for saving my life, but the snow cave was already small. Just sitting cross-legged, I couldn't straighten my neck. Yang Huchen was a soldier in the army, so he didn't care about the wounds on his skin. He hurriedly said: "I have rough skin and thick flesh. These injuries are nothing. I will remember the young hero's life-saving grace in my heart."
"General Yang, there is no need to be polite. This is what General Wan Jun entrusted me to do." Gu Xiao didn't care about this, he just wanted to complete what Wan Jun asked him to do.
"Young hero, I have a question, please give me some advice." Yang Huchen said hesitantly.
Without Yang Huchen's explicit words, Gu Xiao already knew that he wanted to ask Wan Jun about something. He couldn't help but darken his eyes when he thought that the general who had guarded Yanbei for many years for the people of Qiyunbei would end up being escorted to Beijing.
Yang Huchen was shocked when he saw the young man's face darken. The people marching in the army were coming and going. He also said that General Wan had an accident, so he quickly asked: "Could it be that General Wan..."
"General Wan is not in fear for his life. I just heard that General Wan... was relieved of his military power and escorted to Beijing." Gu Xiao saw that Yang Huchen had misunderstood, so he told the news he heard from Mr. Yun. Yang Huchen.
Hearing that General Wan was not in danger for the time being, Yang Huchen breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "Holy... you are confused. General Wan has been guarding the border for many years and has always defended the country wholeheartedly. It must be a villain who is slandering... No, someone has to go to Beijing. "
When he heard that General Wan was being escorted to Beijing, Yang Huchen ignored the pain in his flesh and skin, let alone the howling wind and snow outside, and immediately stood up to set off, but was stopped by Gu Xiao with his hand.
"Young hero's life-saving grace will be repaid someday." Yang Huchen was confused and insisted on doing it.
Gu Xiao knew the friendship between these men in the army and did not care about Yang Huchen's impulsiveness. However, he still did not know the inside story of General Wan's case. Even if Yang Huchen was allowed to go to Beijing, it would not help: "Has General Yang forgotten what General Wan entrusted him to do?" Is it okay?"
As soon as Gu Xiao said this, Yang Huchen paused and slowly sat down as if recalling General Wan's entrustment.
Seeing that these words were useful, Gu Xiao continued to speak: "I still don't know if General Wan was captured in Beijing because of the villain's slander as General Yang said, or if there is another reason. In my opinion, if there is a villain who really came to slander, General Yang If you go to Beijing rashly, you will only give those villains something to talk about."
After speaking, seeing that Yang Huchen had calmed down, Gu Xiao continued: "General Wan entrusted me with the matter of Yanbei and the important items, so I can't ignore it. Besides, General Yang also saw everything that happened in Mo County. If If we don’t solve the banditry problem, will it be worth General Wan’s years of hard work in Yanbei?”
These remarks not only made Yang Huchen calm down, but also made him feel guilty. He cupped his fists towards Gu Xiao and said, "What the young hero is teaching me is that someone was impulsive."
After calming down, Yang Huchen looked at the young man who saved his life in front of him, still a little wary, just in case this was a trick of the bandits trying to trick him out of where the defense map was... Yang Huchen spoke. He couldn't help but open his mouth to test.
"By the way, since the young hero was entrusted by General Wan..."
Of course, Gu Xiao heard the implication of Yang Huchen's words. Not only was he not angry at his probing words to him, but he secretly praised him. General Wan's subordinates had no straw bags and did not hide them. He reached into his arms, groped for a while, and handed Wan Jun over. He took out the gold medal command arrow given to him and handed it to Yang Huchen.
Siwei Xiaoliu and Xiaodouzi on the side had never seen a gold-medal arrow, but Yang Huchen naturally recognized this object. It was a gift from the Holy Master himself. They wanted to kneel down, but the snow cave was small, not to mention Yang Huchen was strong. posture.
"I'm not a member of the officialdom, so General Yang doesn't need to be polite." Gu Xiao quickly spoke to stop him from making any false salutes. Firstly, he was not a member of the officialdom, and secondly, he was worried that Yang Huchen's strong body would destroy the snow cave where everyone was hiding. The roof collapsed.
Yang Huchen knew that since General Wan could hand over the gold-medal arrow to this young man, he must have great trust in him, but he was not an official, so he couldn't help but frown and ask questions, but this time he had no intention of testing him.
Gu Xiaojiang told the truth about how he inadvertently knew that someone in the Jianghu was plotting to intercept and kill General Wan, how he met General Wan by chance in Lingzhou, and then came to Yanbei under General Wan's entrustment.
After hearing the whole story, Yang Huchen frowned and murmured: "The assassination failed before, and then framed..."
He suddenly remembered the death plan that had been set against him in Yanbei City. He suddenly realized it, lowered his voice, and told Gu Xiao about the incident in Yanbei City and the General's Mansion.
"In this way, from the interception and killing to the frame-up and the Yanbei Incident, there are people who are eyeing the defense plans of the ten counties in Yanbei." Gu Xiao deduced.
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean." Yang Huchen agreed.
Gu Xiao thought for a while and connected the previous discussions with Mr. Yun in the county governor's department. His eyes suddenly shrank. Such methods and plans could mobilize people in the world to lay out an attack on Yang Huchen in Yanbei. The murderous situation was even able to advance the slander in the Holy Land, so that General Wan was relieved of his military power and escorted to Beijing...
After failing to kill ten thousand generals, they started attacking the defense map. It seemed that all this was not just a temple dispute, they were heading for the land of Yanbei... no, they were heading for the Central Plains.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao was shocked and said to himself: "Northern Jin..."
Then I thought about it, fortunately the imperial envoy Mr. Yun came to Yanbei in time, otherwise Yanbei would have been in chaos sooner or later...
"Master Yun...the masked man..." Since Gu Xiao deduced that these people wanted to intercept General Wan and seize the defense map of the ten counties in Yanbei, he naturally thought of the masked man. He and the bandits were the same. A traveler, then he...
"It's bad." Gu Xiao said to himself, and suddenly remembered what the masked man said before leaving. Just now he was only focused on avoiding the wind and snow to save people, and almost forgot such important things, so he exclaimed.
Yang Huchen and Xiaoliu saw the young man thinking for a moment, exclaiming to himself, and quickly asked: "What happened?"
"General Yang, with the weather like this, the bandits will no longer be able to pursue them here. I want to ask you a favor." The young man frowned and said.
Some people died, but not completely...
