Watching Yang Huchen being escorted into the Sheriff's Department from a distance, Gu Xiao was anxious, but now the sun was rising. Although the number of soldiers outside the County Guard's Department was not large, only dozens of them, looking from a distance, these soldiers all had sharp eyes, and they were far away from each other. Shang Yuan could sense the killing intent in them.
The place in front of the county guard's office was very empty, and there was no place to hide. No matter how high my Qinggong skills were, it was almost impossible to sneak into the office without being discovered by the soldiers.
"Brother Mu, why did you go and come back just to save that strong man?" asked the cigarette pot with his head stuck out from the young man's side.
Not long after Miss Jiang separated from his Tongmu brothers, he returned to find the two of them, took them to the private house to hide themselves, and secretly observed everything that happened in front of the county magistrate's office.
Gu Xiao frowned and sighed slightly: "Yes, that Brother Yang is the person entrusted by old friends. There are also the people of Mo County who have suffered from bandits all year round. Fortunately, the bandits were killed this time. It seems that this What the patrol sergeants wanted to arrest was Brother Yang, but he didn't make things difficult for them, otherwise I really don't know how to help them."
Jiang Ningxue frowned slightly and listened quietly to the young man's words. After at least the young man finished speaking, he answered: "Do you want to save Brother Yang from the county guard?"
Gu Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, but the front of the Sheriff's Office is heavily guarded. Don't say it's daytime or night. It's difficult to sneak into the Sheriff's Office where you can't hide your body..."
Shaking his head slightly, the young man turned to the side who was also frowning and thinking: "Brother Chixin, is there any way in Momen that can allow the three of us to sneak in quietly?"
Yantai Guo smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not afraid of Brother Mu's jokes. If Mo Sect is still there and we have enough manpower, we can use Mo Sect's retractable shovel to dig a tunnel from outside the wall and sneak in. But right now..."
Jiang Ningxue pondered for a moment and said softly: "Brother Chi Xin and I will show up to lure those guards away. It's feasible."
The young man frowned and shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous. Even if you can temporarily lure these guards away, you must know that there are at least thousands of patrol soldiers in Mo County. Even if a few hundred more soldiers are deployed to guard the county, It’s not difficult to guard the office.”
Yantaiguo said with a grimace: "It seems that it is as difficult as going to heaven to get into this county."
What Yandian Guo said is true. When the Sheriff's Department was established, the land in front of the gate was cleared to the ground. This was precisely to deal with bandits sneaking in in disguise. Furthermore, in case the bandits invaded Mo County, they could rely on the Sheriff's Department's strength. Barrier, use bows and crossbows to attack the bandits from a distance, so as to buy enough time for the people to escape from the Sheriff's Secret Road.
However, they never thought that the open space in front of the Sheriff's Office would become the biggest obstacle for Gu and Xiao to sneak in. The three Gu and Xiao who were hiding in a private house looked at the gate of the Sheriff's Office and fell into deep thought.
When the three of them were at a loss what to do, a ball rolled from a distance under a house, and then a small figure chased them. Behind the small figure, there were still a few soldiers chasing behind them. The small figure in front of them said, Still shouting loudly: "My ball..."
Chasing the person in front seemed to be chasing the small figure in front of him, but every time the patrol soldier behind him approached the short figure, he staggered deliberately and blocked the pursuing patrol soldier behind him for a moment, and then It was a loud cry.
"Xiaodouzi, don't run around. The general has an order to let the people go home. You...don't run around."
Seeing the patrolling soldiers, Gu Xiao and the three people on the roof of the house hurriedly restrained their voices and hid their bodies. Seeing that the soldiers below did not seem to notice the three of them, they just poked their heads slightly and looked down again.
The little figure that caught the eyes of the three of them, crying and running in front of them, was a girl with a bun in a bun. She was wearing a large dark-colored cloak. Perhaps this cloak was only for adults, and it not only covered the figure of the girl with a bun in a bun. , half of it was still dragged in the snow on the ground. As the girl ran, it dragged long snow marks in the snow.
The three of them looked at it intently. The "ball" in the girl's mouth looked like it was made of metal. The outside of the ball looked like fish scales wrapped around it, rolling in the snow and sticking to the snow on the ground to cover it.
Seeing this object, Gu Xiao couldn't help but feel embarrassed, because this object was the Tang Sword Lotus gifted to him by Tang Jiu. Just as he was about to explain to Jiang Ningxue, who was beside him with a slightly frowning eyebrow, he saw the girl crying from the corner of his eye. Seeing this scene, doubts suddenly appeared in his eyes.
She had already seen herself when she entered the city. If she had come to smoke
Attracting attention and covering for himself, why and when he was like this now, he was confused when he met the girl's immature but intelligent eyes.
The girl's eyes with long eyelashes kept winking at her while the soldiers chasing her behind her were blocked by Si Wei Xiaoliu...
"There is a way!" The young man understood, raised his eyebrows slightly, and spoke softly.
The two people beside him were attracted by the young man's opening, and turned to look at the young man with doubtful eyes.
Gu Xiao's eyes brightened slightly, and he was about to speak when he suddenly met Jiang Ningxue's cold eyes. He thought she was annoyed that she gave the Tang Sword Lotus flower to the child with a bun as a toy, so he hurriedly explained: "Miss Jiang , that Tang Sword Lotus was... because of the bandit attack that day, in order to give the girl a way to protect herself, I gave it to her for protection..."
As everyone knows, Jiang Ningxue didn't care that Tang Jianlianhua became a plaything in the hands of a child. She frowned slightly because she saw the halberd-wielding soldiers chasing behind the girl, which reminded her of her childhood. She was slightly distracted. The young man opened his mouth to explain, but when he saw how embarrassed he looked, he couldn't help but feel funny.
There was a bit of cunning in his cold eyes, and he suddenly had the idea of teasing the young man. But then he thought about how eager he was to save people, so he temporarily restrained his mind and recalled the moment when the girl escaped from the pursuit of the patrolling soldiers and winked at the young man. The scene is already clear in my mind...
So he said softly: "Since it is a gift from Senior Tang, it belongs to you. You can decide how to deal with it. Just now you said that you have a way. Do you want to use the hand of that girl to help us sneak into the County Sheriff's Department?"
When the young man heard that Jiang Ningxue was not angry about Tang Jianlianhua, but guessed what he was thinking, he immediately smiled and said: "That's right, since we can't force our way in, we might as well change our identities and see if we can go out openly. Go in."
The pipe pot next to him was unclear. Seeing that the young man and the girl were answering each other fluently, he couldn't help but curiously said: "Please wait a moment, can you explain something to me? That girl is just an ordinary commoner in Mo County. , how can we enter the County Sheriff's Department in an honest and fair manner."
The three of them were discussing on the roof of the house in hiding, when they suddenly heard the voice of the girl shouting from below: "Let me go, let me go."
Hearing the sound, he looked over again and saw that the girl was finally chased by the patrolling soldiers. The soldiers kept military discipline in mind and did not make things difficult for her. They just picked her up and held her in front of Si Wei Xiaoliu who looked helpless. Under the guidance, send her home...
Seeing the backs of several patrolling soldiers walking away, the girl in her arms hugged Tang Sword Lotus tightly, her eyes kept peeking towards where Gu Xiao and the others were hiding, and the three of them retracted their heads. , the young man suppressed his smile and said, "Time is running out, Brother Chixin, we won't wait until we get to the place."
After saying that, the young man used Qing Kung Fu and left. Jiang Ningxue and Yandianguo looked at each other, each performed their own Qing Kung Fu, and followed closely behind the young man.
The three of them were not weak in Qinggong. Fortunately, they avoided ordinary soldiers along the way and no one noticed the three men who had sneaked into Mo County.
The streets in Mo County were criss-crossed. Gu Xiao and the others followed quietly all the way to a remote alley in Mo County City. The shabby place was visible to their eyes. The soldiers stopped walking, looked inquiringly, and turned their heads to look. Siwei Xiaoliu, who was following him, saw him nodding decisively, and then several soldiers pushed the door open and entered.
Gu Xiao and the other three also saw this scene. They used Qing Kung Fu to jump on the roof one after another. They suppressed their voices and waited quietly. They only heard a few soldiers in the room speak.
"My patrol force is stationed in Mo County. You, the county guard, don't have to worry about city defense anymore. The general has issued a military order to let the people go home. This little girl keeps making noise. My general cares about the people and will not pursue it. But we can’t let her keep making noises, so you just stay and comfort her.”
Outside the roof, Gu Xiao heard the patrol sergeant speak and nod slightly. General Gao was quite considerate of the people. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Xiao Liu, the commander in the room, respectfully reply: "Don't worry, my lords, this baby is... Leave it to me."
"Okay! We still have military affairs to attend to, so we'll go and recover first."
"My lords, move slowly."
Gu Xiao, who was on the roof, heard this and hurriedly signaled to the two people beside him. The three of them hid themselves and waited until the patrol soldiers below moved away before getting up.
Three figures turned over
After falling down and landing in this small courtyard, Gu Xiao just saw the scenery of this small courtyard. Not only were there no chickens, ducks, poultry, or food stored in the winter like ordinary people's homes, but the walls of the courtyard were all dilapidated.
Gu Xiao's brows furrowed as he watched, and even the look in his starry eyes was slightly obscured by the shabby little courtyard in front of him. He came all the way north, and although he saw some poor families, he never saw such a shabby house.
When he was looking around the small courtyard, he heard a clear sound of joy coming from inside the house. Gu Xiao, who had not yet recovered, saw a blur of flowers in front of his eyes, and the little dark-colored figure had already thrown into his arms.
With Gu Xiao's martial arts realm, how could he let people get close to him easily? But he didn't need to look at him. He could tell who the person in his arms was just by looking at the big black cloak.
"My dear friend, you really understood Xiaodouzi's thoughts, but you worried me to death. Why did you come back? Uncle Yang...he was caught. I wanted to save him, but I thought of what you said. This object cannot be used until the moment of life and death. Although they captured Uncle Yang, they did not intend to hurt his life... so..." The girl in her arms saw the girl and threw herself into her arms, telling what happened. And say come.
Without waiting for Gu Xiao to speak, he looked behind Gu Xiao and saw no figure of Mo Ti. He hurriedly asked, "Why can't I see Sister Ti..."
Gu Xiao said with shame: "Mo Sicheng and Mr. Yun, I and I went separate ways and agreed to meet at the beacon tower. My two friends and I ran into some trouble. When we ran away, we found that the two of them had been kidnapped by thieves... "
Hearing that Mo Ti had been kidnapped by thieves, Xiaodouzi couldn't bear to listen to the next words. He hurriedly broke away from Gu Xiao's arms and knelt down in front of Gu Xiao with a "pop" sound.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly." Gu Xiao hurriedly leaned over to help Xiaodouzi up.
"Sister Mo is kind-hearted. When she learned about the accident in Xiaodouzi's family, she took Xiaodouzi from home and took good care of her. She treated Xiaodouzi like her own sister. Xiaodouzi knew that she had nothing to repay her benefactor... Ruoren The father will not give up, Xiaodouzi is willing to serve his benefactor as a slave and a maid, and he only asks his benefactor to save Sister Mo..."
At the end of the sentence, Xiaodouzi couldn't stop sobbing and was about to burst into tears.
Gu Xiao hurriedly helped her up, wiped the tears from her face, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, we sneaked back to Mo County just to save people."
After listening to Gu Xiao's words, Xiaodouzi stopped crying, but he still couldn't help sobbing, and said in a tearful voice: "My benefactor came to Xiaodouzi, he must be in need of help."
Gu Xiao couldn't help but secretly praise him. This girl was really smart. He immediately said, "Mo Sicheng and the two are missing. If Yanbei sends troops, I will chase them at the same time. It will not be difficult to save them. But right now, they are trying to capture them." Those who have been escorted by Brother Yang and Mr. Yun must first try to rescue Mr. Yun's guards and rush to Yanbei City before they can rescue Mo Sicheng."
