There was still some distance before, so I didn't realize anything was wrong. When Gu Xiaoyun followed up with Qinggong, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought. If he rushed to the beacon tower against the beacon fire, he shouldn't camp here.
Although Gu Xiao was not a member of the army, his master had taught Gu Xiao how to use soldiers. He was so close that he could faintly see the patrol army's banner, which was blown by the winter wind.
Previously, I thought it was the snowy weather that caused the garrison to temporarily stop marching, but when I looked inside the garrison, under the banner, the soldiers were camping, chatting and laughing, and there was no sign of fatigue at all. Seeing this scene, Gu Xiao felt in his heart Doubts grew stronger.
Immediately I remembered that Mr. Yun, in the Mo County Sheriff's Department, had asserted that there were people in the Yanbei officialdom who were colluding with bandits. Seeing the strange behavior of the patrol, I was shocked. It would be better if some civil servants were collaborating with bandits. In this case, among the patrol Generals lead bandits...
The sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, Gu Xiao weighed one and two, and decided to sneak through the patrol first, go to the beacon tower to find Mr. Yun, discuss everything he saw with him, and then try to check if there were any members of the patrol. Someone is colluding with bandits.
After thinking about this, Gu Xiao secretly practiced his skills and was about to leave, but he heard the sound of conversation approaching his hiding place.
"I said...Brother Huzi, the flames of war are starting again, why don't we set off? If the higher authorities come to hold us responsible, we won't be able to eat and walk around." A soldier holding a halberd looked to the side like a military colonel. Asked.
The Xiao Xiao, who was called Brother Huzi, glared at the soldier holding the halberd, wondering if he was blaming him for talking too much or something else. He looked around again, as if to check if anyone else was around.
Gu Xiao quickly retracted behind the stone and hid his figure. After a while, Xu saw that no one was prying around, and the principal spoke.
"When will you get rid of your garrulousness? The nickname "Big Mouth" is really not in vain. Didn't you say, let me wait for the order to be given and then give the order. Don't make unreasonable comments. If you say the wrong thing, be careful with your head. "The principal shouted in a low voice.
The soldier quickly shrank his head after hearing this, and looked at Brother Huzi's expression. His expression was not serious. He immediately knew that he was just telling himself not to talk too much. He immediately put on a smile and said: "Brother Huzi, don't worry, I have the most severe mouth. Let's start now." Never talk too much."
Hearing this, the little school gourd laughed at the soldiers and said, "Okay, Big Mouth, hurry up and deliver the order."
The soldier responded and was about to turn around and leave, but seemed to remember something again. He turned around and asked, "Brother Huzi, why do our dignified Yanbei patrols want to be brothers with those people in the world? Why does the general entertain those people from the Golden Sword Sect?" ..”
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the corners of Brother Huzi's mouth couldn't help twitching, and his thick eyebrows were furrowed, as if he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his chest. He immediately knew that he was talking too much again, so he hurriedly backed away.
Gu Xiao, who was hiding behind the stone, was initially confused by the conversation between the two men, but when he heard the soldier mentioning the Golden Knife Gate at the end, he instantly realized why the patrol was still seeing the beacon fire and smoke. Take your time.
When I was in Hejiapu, I heard He Kui mention that He Zhidao, the ancestor of the He family, had communicated secretly with the Golden Blade Sect, and that the interception and killing of Wan Jun in Lingzhou was also related to the Golden Sword Sect.
Now that the patrol is also involved in the Golden Blade Sect, it seems that things are not simple... I wanted to investigate again, but then I thought that the most important thing at the moment was to protect Mr. Yun, so I made up my mind, and with this Wait for clues and go to the beacon tower to meet Mr. Yun, then go back and investigate the Golden Knife Gate in detail.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao quietly poked his head out, wanting to see if the Guzi Primary School was far away so that he could start to sneak away. But when he put his head around, he saw that the primary school had not left, but was standing there, as if waiting for someone. .
"It's strange. Why is he still here if he wasn't delivering military orders?"
Gu Xiao muttered to himself. Just when he was curious, he heard that Brother Huzi was hesitating in the direction of the soldiers' orders to leave.
Gu Xiao's ears were very sharp. Just when the gourd turned around, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching quietly in the snow. Hearing the footsteps of this man, he was skilled in martial arts and not weak. He was hesitating whether to leave this place temporarily to avoid being discovered. Suddenly, the principal turned around, clasped his fists into the darkness and said, "Young master."
Gu Xiao was frightened and hurriedly hid his body and looked around. In the darkness of the military camp, he saw a young man in snow clothes slowly walking out. The sound of footsteps on the snow that he heard in his ears must be this person. .
"Well done." The young man in snow clothes praised Brother Huzi.
"It's my job as a subordinate." The principal clasped his fists and bowed, showing great respect to the young man in snow.
"Young Master, what should we do next?" the principal continued.
The young man in snow clothes glanced slightly and looked at the small school. He did not answer directly, but changed the subject: "I heard that when Wan Jun was in charge, although the army was strict, he was also considerate of the soldiers and was good at winning people's hearts. Many soldiers were I regard him as a brother and a father, and I am willing to trust him with my life..."
Halfway through his words, his eyes turned cold and he moved towards the primary school.
Hu Zi immediately understood what the young man in snow clothes meant. He was sweating profusely. He didn't care that the patrolling military camp was not far away. He knelt down in front of the young man in snow clothes with a "pop" and kowtowed: "Young Master Ming Jian, this is my life." It was the sect master who saved him. I don’t even care about the gold, silver and salary. I just want to repay the sect master with my life."
Gu Xiao held his breath and concentrated on seeing all this. He was shocked in his heart. He did not expect that there were not only officials and bandits in the Yanbei Army, but also members of the Golden Blade Sect who had infiltrated among the ordinary soldiers.
Why did the Golden Blade Sect send people to infiltrate the patrol? How are these related to the interception and killing of Lord Wan? A series of questions suddenly came to his mind. Before Gu Xiao had time to think about it, he heard the young man in snow clothes Opened his mouth.
"Huzi, what are you doing? Get up quickly." At this moment, the face of the young man in snow has changed. The coldness and wariness in his eyes are completely gone. He is bending down to help the primary school boy who is kneeling on the ground and kowtows.
"My father knows your sincerity, so why bother to show it to others? Our Wang family has already regarded you as one of our own." The young man in snow clothes said softly.
Huzi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and echoed: "The sect master and the young master are so kind to me. I will never forget them. I don't dare to take the royal family as extravagant. I just want to follow the sect master and the master forever."
The smile on the young man's face in snow clothes was no longer as cold as before, he raised his arms and chuckled: "Okay, let's not mention the other things for now, how about the person you chose?"
"Young master, don't worry. This man is famous as a loudmouth in the army. In a moment, all these soldiers will get the news... But I don't know, General Gao, isn't he one of ours? Why do you want to go? Spread this news." Huzi asked.
The young man in snow clothes said: "It's not that simple. I don't know why. Gordon suddenly seemed like a different person. Before setting off, he was still groveling to me, but now he's like...forget it, it's too late to think about so many things now." , the most important thing right now is to stabilize the military camp."
At this point, the young man in snow attire motioned Gouzi to come closer and lowered his voice: "I asked you to choose a big mouth, and that's what I meant. First, let these patrol soldiers know that their general is going to host a banquet to entertain the guests... Even if Gordon wants to rebel, when the general is handed down, these soldiers will not be able to figure out what is going on for a while, so we will take advantage of the chaos and take action."
When Huzi heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank and he said: "Taking advantage of the chaos...to take action? Does the young sect master think...this patrol army has a whole battalion of soldiers..."
The young man in snow clothes sneered: "I don't take it lightly with just a few hundred people. Not to mention that the people who came with me this time are all masters. I have sent people to every military tent. If you attack randomly, even if ten against one, these soldiers are no match for the people in my sect... Just before I came to you, I had secretly released the Golden Sword Order. With Elder Xu's skill, I will definitely be able to sense it. When Elder Xu Once this happens, let’s take action..."
Hearing the young sect master's careful arrangements, the panic in Huzi's eyes disappeared, and he revealed a fierce energy: "Young sect master, why do you want me to be young?"
Seeing that there was no one around, the young man in snow-clothed eyes flashed with viciousness, took something out of his arms, handed it into the hands of the little school gourd, and continued to whisper a few words in his ear: "You and... such and such, such and such... ....just go"
Gu Xiao only heard the words in front of him, and then he saw the young man in snow clothes lowering his voice and whispering. He wanted to use his skills to eavesdrop, but he was worried that the other party's martial arts level could sense that there were people around him, so he could only continue to hold his breath and stare at him. After paying attention to the small school, he suddenly raised his head and looked around, then quickly shrank his head and hid himself.
Gouzi's eyes lit up, then showed hesitation. But looking at his young master's eyes, he could only reply: "I understand, I'll go right away."
The two were about to make an agreement, and when Huzi was about to put the things handed over by the young man in snow clothes into his arms, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and then the big-mouthed soldier shouted: "Brother Huzi, I'm back, I’ve said everything you told me, don’t worry, everyone is already familiar with the guests, and this time it’s the general who will tell you, so there won’t be anything wrong..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Brother Huzi holding a small oil paper bag in his hand. Standing next to him was a man in snow clothes. At first glance, he didn't belong to the patrolling army. When he looked closely, he realized that he was a distinguished guest of his own general.
Although I am curious about how Brother Huzi got to know such distinguished guests, but if I think about it carefully, Brother Huzi has been highly regarded by General Gao in recent years, so it is normal for him to meet such distinguished guests...
Grinning, he was about to say hello to the distinguished guest when he suddenly realized something was wrong. The two of them were talking to each other, so why did they choose to stay outside the camp? What was in the oil paper bag in Brother Huzi's hand? Although he usually talked about gossip, But as a soldier, vigilance suddenly came to mind.
Seeing the big-mouthed soldier's grin fading away, Gouzi immediately knew that he was suspicious. He turned back to look at the young man in snow clothes and saw the ruthlessness in the young sect leader's eyes. He knew what he was thinking, and he was thinking about the big-mouthed soldier. In the past few years of friendship, there was still hesitation, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the young master looking at him with murderous intent.
Sighing and looking back, Gouzi had a smile on his face. He greeted the soldiers and greeted them with open arms: "Good brother, you've come just in time. Let me introduce you to this person..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gouzi's figure was already leaping forward, and the saber at his waist was already unsheathed.
When Big Mouth saw Gouzi leaping towards him with a knife drawn, the governor immediately turned around and ran away. He wanted to call for help, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a chill on the back of his neck...
Gouzi settled down, wiped the blood on his face, looked at the big mouth that stretched out his hand to separate, and felt all kinds of feelings in his heart. Although he was a chess piece placed by the Golden Knife Sect in the patrol, he was not a plant, and how could he be ruthless? People who had been in the army together for many years, and the people they usually called brothers died under his own sword. Huzi couldn't bear to look at it anymore. He clasped his fists and looked back, bowing to the young master.
"Very good, I'll take care of myself here. You can go and do your errands." The young man in snow clothes put the murderous intent in his eyes away and was very satisfied, so he spoke with approval.
"Yes." Unable to bear it in his heart, he glanced at the big-mouthed corpse from the corner of his eye. Gouzi withdrew his gaze and followed the order.
Gu Xiao was frightened by this series of events and his eyebrows were furrowed. The previous thoughts about the Golden Knife Gate and the interception of Wan Jun were still lingering in his mind. Then he saw the young schoolmaster chatting and laughing, and swung his sword to kill the soldiers who were talking to him before. The young man named Gouzi left quickly. The young man in snow clothes from Jindaomen only slightly extended his palm, stirred up the snow, hastily buried the soldier's body, turned around and disappeared into the dusk.
When the young man in snow clothes was far away, Gu Xiaoyungong explored the surroundings and found that there was no one else around, so he appeared from behind the boulder.
"How did the Golden Sword Sect swagger into the patrol army? If someone from the patrol army secretly colluded with the Golden Sword Sect, why did this young man say 'take advantage of the chaos'?" Gu Xiao murmured to himself.
After carefully recalling the clues I heard behind the boulder, the young man's voice gradually became quieter and was no longer audible. However, judging from the small oil paper packet that the young man in snow clothes handed to the primary school, I could vaguely guess that this person from the Golden Sword Clan was a member of the Golden Blade Sect. What do you want to do.
"Do they really dare to attack the patrolling army? Who is Elder Xu...could it be the masked man?" Gu Xiao couldn't help but think of the master he met, and was slightly shocked.
"It seems that we need to go to the patrolling army first to find out. If the masked man is the same person as the one in the Jindao Sect's mouth, then Mr. Yun's life will not be in danger for the time being."
Gu Xiao made up his mind and decided to sneak into the military camp to investigate first.
Some people died, but not completely...
