He was listening attentively to the movement outside the wall when he suddenly felt someone approaching quietly from within the wall of the courtyard below him. Gu Xiao immediately secretly summoned his true energy to be on guard. Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching him for a moment, his internal energy burst out from his palms. He tapped the wall and cast Yun Zong turned over and fell down.
Before the person arrived, his palm came out first, and the palm that contained the power of the robot swept away, approaching the owner of the footsteps behind him... But when Gu Xiao saw the footsteps clearly, he was immediately surprised.
Just because what was reflected in Gu Xiao's eyes was the figure of a small child with particularly clear eyes, looking at him with joy at this moment.
"Mu En..." The owner of the eyes couldn't hold back the joy in his heart when he saw Gu Xiao's face, and he shouted softly.
Withdrawing her palms and withdrawing her moves, she turned over and jumped away. The moment she spoke, Gu Xiao's figure flashed and was already beside her. Worried that her voice would attract the attention of the killer outside the wall, he covered the little child's mouth and hurriedly Making a silent gesture.
The child was smart and knew what Xiao was saying without having to say anything. He kept silent, but suddenly flashed his eyes and looked at the handsome face of his benefactor in front of him.
Fortunately, Gu Xiao covered the child's mouth in time, and no one outside the wall noticed. They just quietly retreated after laying out the plan.
Hearing that there was no movement outside the wall, Gu Xiao did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he jumped up on the wall and looked out. When he saw that no one was there, he turned over and went to the child. Before he could speak, the child handed him over. The questioning gaze seems to be asking whether the person outside the wall has retreated.
"Don't worry, they are all gone." Gu Xiao said softly to the child.
Xiaodouzi was filled with joy to see her benefactor again. The quarrel just now came from her and Si Wei Xiaoliu. To outsiders, it sounded like a quarrel, but in fact, the two listened to Gu Xiao's words and went into the city to wait, but they waited for a long time. , there was still no news about Gu Xiao, Xiaodouzi didn't want to wait any longer, so she wanted to beg Xiaoliu to try to take her out of the city.
Xiaoliu knew that his benefactor was superior in martial arts and resourcefulness, and was worried that once he and Xiaodouzi left the city, they would be a burden to his benefactor, so he persuaded him. However, after his benefactor Mo Jun was captured, and after waiting in the city for a long time, Xiaoliu persuaded him. The child's temper arose and he insisted on going, so he made a fuss about Xiaoliu leaving the city.
Seeing that Gu Xiao was safe and sound, Xiaodouzi's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally fell, and tears appeared in her eyes: "My dear friend, you are finally here...those people outside the wall..."
Gu Xiao was thinking about finding He Ji's whereabouts. He didn't have time to explain the reason to Xiaodouzi. He picked up Xiaodouzi and took Xiaoliu to the side. He said in a low voice: "It's too complicated, and there are too many things that can't be done in time." , you take Xiaodouzi and leave Yunlai Inn quickly... go to Yunxiang Pavilion to stay first."
"But... this Yunlai Inn is owned by the Mo family. Why should we go to Yunxiang Pavilion instead of being close?" Xiaoliu asked in confusion. Xiaoliu and Xiaodouzi had no inner strength to stay with them. Just now, the conversation between the two outside the wall started. People didn't hear clearly, so they spoke in confusion.
Gu Xiao didn't want the two of them to be involved in such a huge conspiracy, and he didn't want the two of them to die innocently because of it. His mind moved a little, and he immediately said: "I'm in Yunxiang Pavilion, and I've booked a sex room, so I want to..."
"Xiaodouzi knows, my benefactor wanted me to live closer to my sixth brother. My benefactor could move to Yunlai Inn. This is the property of the Mo family. The food and accommodation are much better than Yunxiang Pavilion. Besides, my benefactor You are my Mojun benefactor..." Xiaodouzi didn't know why, but instead invited Gu Xiao to come to the inn.
Siwei Xiaoliu, on the other hand, saw the worry in his benefactor's eyes. Although he didn't know what was going on, after what happened in Mo County, he had no doubts about Gu Xiao. He immediately said to Xiaodouzi in Gu Xiao's arms: "My benefactor said so, there must be someone." Let’s just listen to his benefactor. It doesn’t matter where you and I live.”
Xiaodouzi thought for a moment, looked at his benefactor and Xiao Liuzi, and immediately said: "Then I will listen to my benefactor... By the way, the belongings that my benefactor left behind in Mo County are now between me and Liu Zi. It's in my brother's room, I'll get it."
After saying that, he struggled to jump out of Gu Xiao's arms, and was about to turn around and come to the inn to get it. However, Gu Xiao was thinking about the ambush on the day when the killer outside the alley just mentioned the military regulations, and he already had a plan in mind. This is an opportunity to check out Yunlai Inn first to facilitate your travels that day.
After thinking about this, Gu Xiao stopped Xiaodouzi and said, "Wait a minute, can you take me with you?"
Xiaodouzi naturally would not refuse, and immediately
Lead the way forward and enter the Yunlai Inn from the back hall.
Entering the inn, Gu Xiao realized why Xiaodouzi had previously said that Yunlai Inn had better food and accommodation than Yunxiang Pavilion. Not to mention the luxurious decorations in the inn, and the people who served were all dressed in brocade clothes. It's an inn, but it's more like a dreamy place in ancient poetry.
Although the city of Yanbei has been closed now, and Shan Bin has ordered him to stay at the Yunlai Inn for the Yanbei army, there are no customers in the inn, but the people in the inn are still going back and forth and are busy.
Xiaodouzi knew Gu Xiao's character well, and led Gu Xiao to avoid everyone, and explained in a low voice: "My dear friend, Uncle Mo's Yunlai Inn pays great attention to the guests. Even though the city is currently closed, many wealthy families do not When I went out, I sent idle men to come and ask for help. No, the inn was extremely busy, not to mention that General Shan had reserved the inn for military march, so it was so busy."
Gu Xiao glanced at the busy figure, but in fact he remembered every place in Yunlai Inn, especially the busy front courtyard layout.
Following Xiaodouzi up to the third floor, they reached the most quiet room. Xiaodouzi opened the door and led Gu Xiao in. He hurriedly got into the room, opened the wooden cabinet next to the couch, looked back and smiled at Gu Xiao.
"Don't worry, benefactor, your belongings are all here. I see there are many valuable things, and I'm worried that others will have evil intentions when they see them. I do all the cleaning and stacking by myself, and there will never be any second thoughts. People see it."
Gu Xiao closed the door. Seeing that Xiaodouzi was so attentive, he felt grateful. He stroked Xiaodouzi's slightly cold face and said apologetically, "Sorry for bothering you."
Feeling the warmth of his benefactor's hand, Xiaodouzi raised his little face, with a little anger in his eyes, and pouted and said seriously: "Compared with my benefactor saving Xiaodouzi and saving Quan Mojun's life, why bother?" First of all, if my benefactor continues to say such disrespectful things, he will be looking down on us from Mo County."
Obviously he didn't expect Xiaodouzi to be so serious. Gu Xiao put on a smile, scratched his head and said, "Okay, okay, it was my fault. There will be no next time."
Hearing Gu Xiao's answer, Xiaodouzi smiled again, took Gu Xiao's hand and leaned over to look at the items in the cabinet.
Looking at the familiar Broken Moon Sword Box, Gu Xiao stretched out his hand to caress it and murmured: "Old friend, I haven't seen you for a few days."
His eyes moved slightly, and there was a small package hanging on the sword box, including the Qilin seal, the gold medal arrow, the Yingli post... and even the silver notes that Liuzhuang took from Guanshi Hu when he was pretending to be Quan Tuoguang. , a lot of money, all lying quietly in the package.
Even his green shirt was cleaned and neatly stacked aside. The damaged areas in Aogu and Mojun were also carefully sewn... He felt warm in his heart and stroked Xiaodouzi's head again. , said worriedly: "Remember, after I leave later, you and Brother Xiao Liu will go to Tianxiang Pavilion. Don't go out unless you see me."
Although he didn't know the power of it, looking at his benefactor's serious look, Xiaodouzi said sensibly: "Don't worry, benefactor, Brother Xiaoliu and I will set off right away. We will never leave the Tianxiang Pavilion without seeing our benefactor."
Feeling relieved, Gu Xiao took a green shirt and put it on, put his belongings into his arms, picked up the Broken Moon Sword Box, and rushed to the alleyway to meet up with Miss Jiang and others.
Walking to the window, he was about to jump down when he heard an angry voice from the Yunlai Inn: "Luxury has become so common, what a shame. Shan Bin is bold. If General Wan is still there, he will not be spared."
This voice was familiar to Gu Xiao. They had just parted ways in the morning, but he didn't want to meet again at Yunlai Inn. He closed the window and walked to the door, opened the door and looked down.
In the vestibule, two generals have similar faces. They are wearing armor and have a tiger's back and waist. The former one, with short beard and leopard eyes, is standing in the vestibule, angrily scolding the soldiers behind him. The other general, with long beard, has a calm expression, frowns and keeps silent. As if deep in thought.
"General Fu." Gu Xiao spoke in a low voice, with a bit of joy in his eyes. He was planning to meet up with Miss Jiang and others to inform General Sun Pian about the killer ambushed outside Yunlai Inn, so that he could try to stop this. Assassination, since I met the Fu brothers and relied on Fu Rui's wisdom, I think there will be a solution.
But looking at the group of soldiers following the Fu brothers, one could tell at a glance that these people must be those sent by Shan Bin to guard them. It was difficult to see them now.
After thinking about it again and again, Gu Xiao looked at Xiaodouzi and seemed to have an idea, so he immediately called Xiaodouzi
, whispered a few words, then closed the door, and without waiting any longer, jumped out from the window on the third floor and headed towards the meeting place at the entrance of the alley...
After receiving Gu Xiao's message, Xiaodouzi turned his big eyes slightly, made up his mind, slipped out of the room, and crept down the stairs slowly. When he reached three or four steps, he deliberately slipped and rolled down the steps. Fall down.
This movement not only attracted everyone in the Yunlai Inn to look back at the Prime Minister, but also aroused the alertness of many Yanbei sergeants in the vestibule.
"Qiang-Qiang-Qiang-"
More than a dozen sabers were unsheathed in an instant, and the leading captain who had just been scolded by Fukang raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Who is this!"
The moment he said this, a soldier from Yanbei came quickly to investigate and saw a little girl holding her ankle and moaning in pain. Then he lost his guard, sheathed his sword, looked back and reported to the captain: "Don't worry, sir." , it’s just a female doll that fell down the stairs.”
The captain was worried, and wanted to set out to investigate, but he remembered General Shan's military order, stopped his steps, and ordered: "Bring me to see!"
The two soldiers who came to investigate heard the order and picked up Xiaodouzi, who was crying with big tears on the ground, and walked quickly to the vestibule.
Seeing the girl crying miserably, the school captain also felt compassion, signaled the soldiers behind him to put away their weapons, stepped forward, and comforted: "Little girl, your ankle is okay, why don't you let some brothers take you there?" Let’s buy some toys, okay?”
Unexpectedly, such a soft tone made the girl cry even more miserably, attracting the attention of everyone in the inn. This made the captain feel embarrassed, and all the soldiers behind him also stood there, at a loss.
Although the Fu brothers led the troops sternly, neither of them had married yet. Seeing the girl crying miserably, they felt pity for her. Before Fu Rui could speak, Fukang was so angry that he could no longer suppress his anger and shouted at the captain. : "Your appearance, not to mention this little girl, even an adult will be scared by you, get out of here, don't go to the city to ask for a doctor."
After being scolded by Fukang, the school captain retreated and turned around to order someone to invite the city's doctor to come and see him. Upon seeing this, Fukang immediately put away his anger, raised his steps slightly, and walked towards the girl.
The captain retreated, curled his lips, and murmured in a low voice: "You're still telling me, but you're not much better on that side."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a magical scene. In the eyes of the soldiers, the unsmiling General Fukang was clearly seen. The moment he came closer, the girl stopped crying. This made the generals scratch their heads and made Fukang feel very proud.
Fu Rui rarely showed a smile and said to Fukang: "Brother, I think this girl is destined to you. It would be good to accept her as your adopted daughter."
Fukang laughed proudly and shouted to Colonel Shicai: "You see, I am the one who wins the heart of a child. Learn from me. When I get back, I will also tell your family, General Shan."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and scolded the soldier holding the baby girl: "Quick, quick, quick, let me teach you how to make the baby happy."
Although the two soldiers were not under the Fu brothers, they still had official ranks. They did not dare to disobey such a trivial matter, so they had to carefully hand over the girl in their arms to Fukang. Read the book
"Stay away, don't scare her again!" After taking the girl, Fukang angrily scolded the soldiers beside him. After the soldiers took a few steps back, he looked back at the girl and took a closer look. It looked familiar, but I didn't know where I had seen it before. Just when I was about to think about it carefully, I was hugged by the girl's neck.
The Fu brothers have been soldiers all their lives, and all the people they saw were rough soldiers. Being treated like this by a female doll aroused the softness in Fukang's heart. He immediately put his thoughts aside and coaxed: "Good baby, don't be afraid. , as long as you, Uncle Fu, are here, no one dares to bully you..."
Fukang coaxed the girl and was about to continue speaking when a childish voice sounded in his ears.
"General, my ankle is fine, but I'm just pretending. Someone asked me to help deliver a message to you, 'Shan Bin wants to rebel. There are killers both inside and outside the inn. We made an agreement at the city gate and we will not break the promise. Come here at midnight tonight. See you."
