If it weren't for Sergeant Yanbei leading the way, Gu Xiao might have jumped off his horse and chased away. However, he still forced himself to calm down and not to scare the snake.
The subtle change in Gu Xiao's expression may not be hidden from the Yanbei Army leader leading the way, but it cannot be hidden from Murong Wu behind him. Although they have known each other for a short time, whether it is his calmness when fighting with his senior brother in the forest, or his sneaking into The guards held the Fu brothers' composure, and the young men never panicked.
But just now, Murong Wu clearly felt that the young man's breathing was a little quickened. After he took a deep breath, it gradually calmed down. Out of curiosity, she followed the young man's gaze to the street.
Under the closure of the city, the people stayed behind closed doors. Only those who were eager to make a living would go out on the streets. There were not many people walking on the streets, but wherever Murong Wu looked, they were all ordinary, and she really couldn't tell. What caused the young man in front of him to have mood swings.
Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard the young man in front of him speak to him in a lowered voice.
"I want to ask you something, girl."
Both of them were wearing scarves to cover their faces. Murong's charming eyes turned around and he chuckled: "Young master, there is still a time when you can beg the slave family, tell me."
"Did you see the man turning into an alley at the corner of the street? I want to ask the girl for help. Follow that man and see where he settles in the city."
Gu Xiao slowed down and sat down on the horse to move forward, his eyes locked on He Ji's back. Although he deliberately hunched his body, Gu Xiao was very sure that that person was He Ji.
Murong Wu followed the young man's eyes and looked at the film on his back. There was a bit of cunning in his eyes, and he raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "The agreement between the slave family and the young master is to take the young master into the valley, but not to help the young master follow him. Besides, the young master Guarding the slave family is like guarding against thieves. If the slave family keeps a close eye on you, can you rest assured, sir?"
The young man frowned slightly and met Murong Wu's gaze. Seeing that the girl's eyes seemed to be dissatisfied, he immediately understood that the girl was still worried about the incident in the patrol army. He immediately relaxed his brows and said with a smile, "Girl, don't you want to Do you know how I persuaded General Fury in the garrison commander's camp?"
Murong's charming eyes were slightly bright: "Oh? The slave family or the young master has already forgotten about it."
The young man saw that He Ji's figure had turned into an alley at the corner of the street. Although he knew that he might be in this alley, Yanbei City is so big and the alleys in the city are interconnected. Once lost, it may be difficult to find him. .
The corps commander in front of him said that he was accompanying him to Beicheng, but in fact he was monitoring him. Only by letting Murong Wu catch up with He Ji quietly could he not arouse the corps commander's suspicion. Thinking of this place, his mind He moved slightly and thought to himself: "I can't tell her about the defense map. I have to think of a way to make her less suspicious."
"Yes." Gu Xiao remembered Mr. Yun's whereabouts and had an idea, so he spoke to Murong Wu.
"Miss Murong, I was actually secretly helping the court to investigate the banditry case in Yanbei. However, something happened when I was in Mo County. A young man who was traveling with me was kidnapped by the bandits, so I pursued him all the way. This morning I What was informed in the Fu brothers' tent was the identity of the young master's imperial envoy."
There was some suspicion in Murong Wu's eyes, and she stared at the young man. If the young man was from the imperial court, his purpose of finding Murong Gu was not simple. He immediately asked: "Are you from the imperial court?"
"No, it's just that I saw bandits harassing the people in Mo County, so I came to help, and that's how I got to know the imperial envoy." Gu Xiao answered truthfully.
Murong Wu saw that what the young man said did not seem to be a lie, but she was still worried. She turned her charming eyes and asked with a smile: "We met by chance, so I asked you to risk your life to help me. I want to see the imperial envoy that you mentioned. Who is he?" Grace."
Hearing that Murong Wu was interested in Mr. Yun, Gu Xiao's eyes flashed with scheming, and then he said, "Miss, really want to see that imperial envoy?"
"What's the matter? Is the young master afraid that the slave family will meet someone who is better than the young master and fail to achieve success?" Murong Wu showed her charm again and was full of coquettishness when she spoke.
Gu Xiao had already resisted Murong Wu's charming skills and didn't buy it. He just turned his eyes to the back of the alley and said softly: "Girl, if you catch up with the one-armed man, you can find his whereabouts." Wherever you are, we can find the imperial envoy you want to see."
Murong Wu suddenly understood, covered her lips with a smile and said: "It's been such a long journey.
, it turns out that the young master still let the slave family do the following things, that's all. Who asked the slave family to admire the young master? But admiration is admiration, and the slave family can't work in vain. "
Gu Xiao went around this circle because of Murong Wu's words, and immediately said: "What conditions do you have, young lady? As long as it does not harm the laws of nature or violate the moral principles of the world, I will never refuse."
Murong Wu smiled sweetly. Although she was wearing a hijab and couldn't see her expression, she could tell from her tone that she had accepted Gu Xiao's follow-up. The slave family has thought about it, and it won’t be too late to talk to Young Master.”
"Okay, it's settled." Seeing He Ji turning into the alley, Gu Xiao hurriedly agreed.
The eagerness in the young man's eyes all fell into Murong Wu's eyes. He looked at the corps leader who was leading the way and was looking back at the two of them secretly. Murong Wu looked at the young man and said softly: "I'll leave that man in front to you. , I found where that person stayed, am I going to save him?"
"Girl, you just need to find out where that person is staying. Don't act rashly. We will meet up in Beicheng then." Gu Xiao remembered the martial arts of the masked man and worried that Murong Wu would be defeated, so he hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
The worried look in the young man's eyes fell into Murong Wu's eyes. She just thought that the young man was worried about her, and she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart. She handed the reins to the young man's hands and spoke softly, without the previous frivolous words.
"Young master, don't worry. Although the Nu family is new to the world, the ability of the Nu family cannot be said to be unique in the world. However, it is not that simple to kill the Nu family at will."
Gu Xiao was still worried, worried that once Murong Wu was exposed, it would be difficult to find He Ji again. When he took the reins, he warned: "Girl, remember, if the one-armed man is walking with someone with a vertical erection covering his face, he will Don’t fight with him and leave immediately.”
Murong Wu's heart skipped a beat when she heard the young man's concerned tone. She didn't know what was wrong with her, so she had to lower her tone and pretended to be impatient: "It's so long-winded. The slave family knows about it. Young master, just don't worry."
As he spoke, he got off his horse and looked at the figure turning into the alley...
The captain who was leading the way had already understood from Yu Lie's previous words that his general had sent him to accompany the young man. He led the two of them to the North City and secretly watched every move.
But just now I saw the behavior of these two people, especially the petite general. He didn't look like a soldier in the army. He was squirming and smiling with his lips covered, more like a girl. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart... Yanbei Army There are also people that Long Yang likes among them. Every time he thinks about this, the captain feels like the hairs on his body stand on end and he feels like vomiting.
When he looked back, he saw that on the horseback behind him, the previously naughty general had disappeared. He quickly reined in his horse and looked back, walked to the side of the other general, and asked: "Sir, may I ask where the person who was traveling with me just now went? Where?"
Pulling the reins and reining in the horse, Gu Xiao raised his eyes and replied: "My lord, please forgive me, this Yanbei City is a big border city. Compared to my hometown, there are many new things that I have never seen before, so he wants to buy it." Some rare items returned to my hometown."
"This...I have been ordered to take you two to Beicheng to find an inn to stay. If my general knows that I have violated military orders, I will not be able to bear such a punishment." The captain has obviously already Panicked, he hurriedly spoke.
How could Gu Xiao not check the captain's thoughts? He immediately took out the silver ingot from his arms, stuffed it into the captain's hand and said with a low smile: "There is no one else here. As long as you don't tell me, who will know? Besides, you are taking me along with you." Going to Beicheng, I am very grateful for all the hard work, and I hope you will not refuse me for your kindness."
After getting the money, and what the young man said was true, he was just a minor official in the army. It would not be worthwhile if he offended the guests for such a trivial matter, but his general's order had to be... He rolled his eyes and stuffed the money into his arms. , pile up smiling faces.
"What your guest said is true. After finally arriving in Yanbei City, I have to bring some specialties to my home... By the way, distinguished guest, our velvet antlers and antiques in Yanbei are the best. How about I accompany your guest to buy some?" , how about we go to Beicheng together when the distinguished guest and his entourage return?"
Gu Xiao looked at the smiling corps leader and thought to himself: "This man is very tactful. He has accepted the money but still refuses to give up. It seems that he can only deal with him, and it just so happens that he can be here."
Waiting for Miss Murong, in case she discovers the whereabouts of He Ji, it is better to make plans in advance. "
After making up his mind, he raised his eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, sir."
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way. Your distinguished guest, go this way." The captain said, he got off his horse, took the initiative to take the reins of Gu Xiao's horse, and led the way...
Murong Wu ducked to the side of the road and saw the actions of Gu Xiao and the team leader. She knew that the team leader was suspicious and did not want to leave without seeing her. She immediately ducked into the tailor shop on the street, regardless of the boss's doubts. Eyes, tearing off women's clothing...
Not long after, a graceful woman came out of the tailor shop, leaving only the owner of the shop, dumbfounded, standing in front of the counter.
He ducked into an alley and saw that the person the young man had told him to follow was turning into the end of the alley. He quickly gathered his energy and hurried forward.
Although there were many people in Yanbei City, after all, the city was closed and there were not many pedestrians in the alleys. Murong Wu followed the one-armed man not far away, turned left and right and passed through several alleys. Only two people were left. The one-armed man in front of him The man seemed unaware of the fact that he was secretly watching, and just walked forward, never looking back once.
"What are you talking about? There is a master. I see that this person is just a loser." Murong Wu followed, and she couldn't help but relax her vigilance a little.
Just when she was distracted for a moment, when she raised her eyes again, there was no trace of the man in front of her. Murong Wu hurriedly raised her eyes to look for it, and saw another corner at the end of the alley. She hurriedly tried to catch up, but she could only walk more than ten feet away. , but he remembered the young man’s warning before they left. He moved his charming eyes slightly, slowed down his steps, and pretended to be as if nothing had happened. He walked past the end of the alley, and just as he reached the end of the alley, he saw a figure suddenly flashing out...
"ah--"
Murong Wu "panicked" and fell down in the alley. Her new clothes were covered with melted snow and mud. In her charming eyes, she could no longer suppress the look of panic and looked to her side.
The figure that flashed out from the alley stood with one palm fixed, a pair of eagle eyes full of vigilance, locked on Murong Wu, looking at the "frightened" soft and charming woman, full of murderous intent, it was He Ji.
"Who asked you to follow me? If you don't answer honestly, don't blame me for being ruthless." He Ji's palms were already filled with true energy. If the woman in front of him answered even half of a sentence wrong, he might be killed on the spot.
"Slave... I want to go home. You... who are you? I don't have any money to give you..." Murong Wu's eyes were full of "panic" and she spoke tremblingly.
