Gu Xiao pretended to hold the Fu brothers hostage and arrived at the gate of Yanbei City. From a distance, he saw the general who had previously rode ahead standing in front of the city gate and looking forward.
Looking at each other with Murong Wu, Gu Xiao looked away. The two of them rode horses to the Fu brothers one after another. One of them grabbed the Fu brothers' arms and advanced slowly. At the same time, he lowered his voice and spoke to Fu Rui. .
"General Fu, I will meet that general later, General Fu..."
Fu Rui looked forward, twitching the corners of his mouth a little, then he put away the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Brother Mu, don't worry, I will do the whole show. Of course I know this. I would like to see what Shan Bin sells in the gourd." medicine."
Fukang, who was behind him, also heard clearly the conversation between the young man in front of him and his brother. He immediately lowered his voice and spoke urgently: "We don't care what medicine he sells. Between the two of us brothers, plus Brother Mu, if it doesn't work, we will tear him apart." Broken face, let’s see what Shan Bin can do to you and my brother.”
"Brother, what you said is wrong. If you and I are outside Yanbei City, and there are still more than ten thousand patrol soldiers in our hands, once we enter Yanbei City, then you and I will be like meat on the chopping block, and we will be slaughtered by others." Furui frowned. , spoke in a low voice.
"What General Furui said is absolutely true. Although I am not a member of the military, I still feel that everything in Yanbei City is weird, so I would like to ask the two generals to be extremely careful. After entering the city, I will also protect them secretly. General." Gu Xiao took over Furui's words from the side, tilted his head slightly, and spoke to Fukang beside him.
During the conversation, the four of them had already approached Yanbei City. With a look of pride on his face, as if he was demonstrating to General Erfu, he spoke loudly: "I have sent people to report the merits of these two martyrs to my general. , you two will go into the city to rest for a while, and after I report to the general, I will invite you two to come and pay homage, I will definitely live up to your merits."
Gu Xiao returned the salute to the general with his forehead. Before he could speak, he heard Fukang speak first behind him.
"Little brat, I only wanted to let you go that day, so I should have killed you on that day. Remember today's humiliation for me. Don't let me return to the patrol, otherwise you will have a hard time."
After Fukang finished speaking, Furui looked at him coldly, seeing the Yanbei soldiers on guard around him, thinking about his brother's previous words about Shan Bin's desire to rebel... He took his brother's words and spoke to the general, full of temptation.
"It seems that this is General Shan's way of hospitality. There is no need to march in Yanbei City. I look at this battle and it is clear that he wants the lives of my two brothers... No, it should be said that he wants to This is the life of all the generals in Yanbei."
Gu Xiao's face was covered by a scarf, so he couldn't see clearly Gu Xiao's face, but he could clearly feel the curve of the corners of his lips. He secretly praised General Furui's plan to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, and released it first in front of a group of Yanbei soldiers. In other words, everyone in Yanbei City, from Shan Bin to the soldiers, should be wary. If Shan Bin really wants to rebel against Qi Yun, he will be able to find ways to cause discord among the officers and soldiers in Yanbei City, making it easier to escape.
Although he was smiling, the play still had to go on. Gu Xiaoji pointed out his finger and pointed it on Fu Rui's chest, pretending to touch his mute point... Fu Rui only felt that the young man's fingertips were soft and weak, but he immediately Understanding, he immediately opened his mouth, only to make a hesitant sound, and could no longer speak.
After his death, Fukang saw that his brother was acting so well, how could he be willing to lag behind others? His face became ferocious, as if he wanted to scold him angrily.
Gu Xiao glanced slightly, knowing what Fukang was thinking. He secretly thought to himself that it would be a pity for these two patrolling generals not to become actors. Although he thought so in his heart, he kept pointing his sword at Fukang's chest, pretending to be a little sicker. Come on, stop him from shouting angrily.
When the general saw this, he admired Gu Xiao even more, but then he thought about the young man telling him to speak frankly on the way here, and he still had doubts. His eyes moved slightly, he clasped his fists to the young man and said, "Brother is an expert in this world. I have said so before." I have some doubts. The Fu brothers are also considered to be masters in the military. How can we control the two of them... Brothers have this skill. If they are willing to join my general, they will have a bright future..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the masked young man in front of him clasping his fists and saying, "General, what you said is serious. How can you be on the stage in the world of Jianghu? When you are wandering around in the world, you always hear the name of General Shan. What happened today is also a matter of admiration." The two of us failed to join the army that day. We have already been accustomed to life in the world. We don’t want to get an official position this time, let alone the price of gold and silver. I will hand these two people over to the general. Let’s say goodbye. We will be destined one day. , we can meet each other."
After saying this, Gu Xiao dismounted from his horse, took the reins of his brothers from the Fu family, handed them to the general, and turned around.
If Fu Rui's eyes hadn't stopped him, Fukang would have been unable to contain his fiery temper and spoke frankly. Murong Wu behind the two of them had a look of astonishment on his face. Fortunately, he had a face covering to prevent the general from seeing it. Got a flaw.
Gu Xiao didn't give Murong Wu a chance to speak. He just pulled Murong Wu and turned around. In a few breaths, he had already walked more than ten feet...
Furui stopped his brother and stared at the young man's back. He didn't know what he meant by this move. He didn't want to enter the city, but why he opened the invitation there but refused...
But when Furui turned his head and saw the general's eyes full of joy, the trace of alarm buried deep in his eyes disappeared, and he suddenly realized that when he looked at the back of the young man, there was already admiration in his eyes...
"Sir, didn't you want to enter the city? Why did you turn around and leave? That thing that entered the valley..." Murong Wu looked back and saw that everyone behind her was still looking at the two of them. She hurriedly lowered her voice and spoke to the young man.
"If you want to take something first, you must give it first." The young man seemed to have no nostalgia. His starry eyes moved slightly and looked at Murong Wu. When he spoke, he kept walking.
Murong Wu didn't know what the young man was thinking, so she had to quicken her pace to keep up with the young man's pace. When she got closer, she heard the young man talking to himself, as if he was muttering something in a low voice. Out of curiosity, she got a little closer, and then she heard clearly. Counting down.
"Ten...nine...three...two..."
When the young man said "two", he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. Looking back, he saw that the general he had rescued had already galloped towards him and spoke eagerly.
"Brother, wait a minute!"
The scarf covering the young man's face had not yet been taken off, but Murong Wu beside her could already feel the calculated smile on the young man's lips, and his starry eyes seemed to be shining with a cunning light.
"I see... This kid is very thoughtful. It seems that you need to be careful. Otherwise, you will fall into his trap at some point." Although Murong Wu thought so in her heart, she had a pair of charming eyes. But it is full of different feelings.
Just as he was thinking about it, the general behind him was already chasing behind him on horseback and said again: "Brother, wait a minute!"
"Oh? General, what else is there to do?" The young man turned around and asked, seemingly confused.
The general looked at the young man, considered it for a moment, and finally said: "I mean what I said before, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Instead of wandering around the world, brothers, it is better to join my general. In the future, not only will you no longer have to deal with the wind and sun, but you may also be able to win a life." Isn’t it beautiful to have the name of the past and the future?”
"Thanks to the general for being considerate, but I've always been undisciplined and can't stand the constraints of this army. Besides, I'm just a martial artist, so how can I get into the eyes of the commanding general of Yanbei." The young man declined again and again.
If it was just a test before, this time the general was sincere. Seeing the young man's refusal, he showed a little wavering, and immediately took advantage of the situation and said: "I promised my brother that as long as he is willing to stay, I will introduce him." I will take full responsibility for the matter. As for this restriction..."
At this point, Pianjiang observed the young man's expression. Although he didn't see the expression on his face, he could see some desire in his eyes. Pianjiang boasted that he was very accurate in reading people. He could tell at a glance that this young man had been persuaded by him and was showing off. , and continued to speak: "My general is looking for talented people. Even if he does not join the military camp, he can still be an honored guest in my general's mansion. I think that with my brother's skills, he will be reused by General Shan."
Murong Wu, who was listening to this, was completely conquered by the young man's plan. As long as the young man agreed at this time, the plan to enter the city was already done. No one would doubt him before he saw General Shan.
But what Murong Wu didn't expect was that after the young man turned his head and hesitated for a moment, he actually refused again: "That's it, that's all, thank you for your kindness, General. We are used to wandering, so we'd better say goodbye."
When the general heard this, he was really anxious at the moment. If such talents could not be used by the general, it would be better if they were not used by others. If they were put into the service of others, wouldn't they be laying a powerful enemy for the general in the future...
After saying that, seeing that the young man still didn't let go, he rolled his eyes and said again: "I know that brothers and other people in the world are free and easy, but now Yanbei City is also employing people, so brother might as well give me some help.
Bo Mian, I will go to Yanbei first and stay for a few days. I will treat you well as a thank you for saving me. If my brother still wants to leave, I will never stop him. What do you think? "
Such a kind gesture no longer had the intention of testing before. Gu Xiao's eyes moved slightly, knowing that if he refused again at this time, he was afraid that it would be difficult for the general to invite him again. He pretended to be silent, thought for a moment and said: "This... is fine. Since the general wants it sincerely, then we will bother you for a few days."
When the general saw this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "I rescued you earlier, and then I rode back to the city to report the news. I still don't know the name of my benefactor. I am commanding General Yu Lie under the general's tent in Yanbei. I don't know if my benefactor can show his true face." "
Gu Xiao pulled off his scarf and cupped his fists in return: "Xia Muyi, this is my little sister, Muzi, I have met General Yu."
Murong Wu, who was beside her, also took off her scarf, revealing her daughter's figure. She gave a slight blessing to Yu Lie and said, "Muzi, a civilian girl, has met the general."
Yu Lie was just like a sergeant in the patrol army. He had not seen a woman in the army for many years. In addition, the Yanbei Army had strict military discipline. Although Murong Wu was wearing a soldier's armor, just a glance at her charming eyes made Yu Lie lose his temper. Lie's cheeks flushed instantly, not to mention the gentleness in Murong Wu's voice, which was even more like a charm.
As if he lost his soul in an instant, Yu Lie sat on the horse in a daze, forgetting to return the gift for a moment.
Gu Xiao couldn't help but look at Murong Wu, wondering whether it was a blessing or a curse for him to bring her into the city. However, the matter in Murong Valley was inevitable... He gathered his thoughts and called softly to the commander who was already in a trance on the horse: "General Yu ...General.”
"Ah...ah, yes, I didn't expect the two masters to be so young. It really puts Yu to shame. In that case, don't delay outside the city. Let's enter the city first. I will arrange a place for you to stay. Let you two go first. Take a rest." Yu Lie turned around and realized that he was rude and quickly apologized.
"Then it's up to the general to do the work."
Gu Xiao didn't say anything, but Murong Wu gave her another blessing, and her eyes moved so fast that Yu Lie couldn't look away.
Seeing his infatuated look, Gu Xiao knew that the two of them could not attract too much attention when they entered the city. He immediately took a step forward, stopped in front of Murong Wu, cupped his fists and spoke to Yu Lie.
"General Yu, my sister-in-law has been spoiled by me since she was a child. Please forgive me for any rudeness, General."
Gu Xiao's words were respectful and reasonable, but Yu Lie's eyes were no longer attracted by Gu Xiao's opening, and he only smiled perfunctorily: "No, no, please follow me into the city quickly."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the "brother and sister" in front of him, and suddenly found that the two had left their horses at the city gate. He immediately pulled the reins in his hands, returned to the horse, fetched two good horses from the army, and handed them over to them. .
When the three of them arrived, they rode into Yanbei City.
On the top of the city tower, there was a person hiding in the dark, staring at the young man riding into the city under the city wall, with a cruel smile in his eyes. It was not until the young man disappeared into the city that he looked back and murmured.
"There is no place to be found after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there."
When the light of morning light illuminated the place where the man had hidden his figure, he was no longer visible.
