Gu Xiao was not in a hurry to rush to Yunlai Inn. Since everything in Yanbei City was controlled by General Shan Bin, it was better to explore the general's mansion first, maybe he might gain something.
Just when Sun Pianjiang was leaving, he had informed him of the location of Shan's Mansion. Gu Xiao did not want to wait any longer and went to Shan's Mansion. When he reached the street, he saw hurried soldiers fighting, and hurriedly hid by the road to cover his body. Look around.
He could vaguely see the gate of Shan Mansion, but the streets full of armored men made it difficult for Gu Xiao. He looked up at the sky. It was only after noon, and the sun was still shining brightly. It was really difficult to sneak into the general's mansion.
But if he wanted to enter Shan Mansion to investigate, he had to bypass these armored soldiers. When Gu Xiao was at a loss, he saw a person walking out of the Shan Mansion gate. Although he could not see his face clearly from a distance, Gu Xiao was wearing armor. Very familiar.
"Yu Lie?" Gu Xiao asked himself.
I saw Shan Bin's general with a cheerful face as he walked out of the gate of Shan Mansion, got on his horse, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed towards the street entrance where Gu Xiao was hiding.
He hurriedly dodged and hid in the alley, only to see Yu Lie's horse galloping past, heading towards the north city. Stars flashed in the young man's eyes, and he immediately realized where Yu Lie was going.
"What's wrong, he went to Yunxiang Pavilion and came looking for me." Gu Xiao screamed in his heart that it was terrible. At this time, in the Tianzi room of Yunxiang Pavilion, only the armor was lying quietly on the couch. Lie first...
Without hesitation, Gu Xiao gave up the idea of exploring General Shan's Mansion for the time being, and quietly retreated. When the soldiers could no longer see his figure, he used his inner strength to jump up to the roof next to him, and jumped to the general direction of Yunxiang Pavilion in his memory. .
Although he was doing it with ease, Gu Xiao was still worried that the Yanbei soldiers guarding the city would find him. Every time he jumped up, he was extremely careful and tried not to make any noise.
It was because of Xiao Duo's concern that under the city's seal, all the soldiers in the city were stationed at the north and south gates, firstly to guard against the patrolling garrison of Gao Deng and the Fuji brothers outside the south gate, and secondly, to guard against the Yanbei army returning from the north. There were not many guards patrolling the soldiers.
The blue shirt was dancing. After a while, he saw Yunxiang Pavilion just across the street. Gu Xiao was secretly relieved and turned down from the roof. Just as he was about to cross the main street and go to the back alley of Yunxiang Pavilion, But he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from the street, and looking sideways, he saw that it was Yu Lie galloping towards him on his horse.
When walking through at this time, Yu Lie would definitely see him. He had seen his appearance outside the city gate. Although he had changed his clothes, Yu Lie didn't recognize him, but Gu Xiao didn't want to take the risk.
Yu Lie sent the corps commander to send him to Yunxiang Pavilion with the intention of monitoring him. He thought that the corps commander had already left Miss Murong halfway away from everything and repaid her truthfully. If he saw him returning from going out this time, he would definitely become suspicious.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao could only cover his body, observe secretly, and prepare to wait for the opportunity to sneak back into Yunxiang Pavilion.
"Uu——"
Yu Lie tightened the reins and got off the horse. He couldn't help but want to share with the young man that the general was willing to meet him. He tried to move for a moment, but knocked one of them to the ground.
Yu Lie was so tall that he didn't come back to his senses until he knocked over someone. He looked down and saw that the person lying on the ground wailing uncontrollably was none other than the waiter of Yunxiang Pavilion.
"Ouch... Ouch... Yes, it's General Yu. It's all because the villain was blind and bumped into the adult. The villain is really guilty." The waiter was almost knocked over by the captain of Yu Lie's command in the morning. Yu Lie was hit and lay on the ground wailing for a moment. When he saw Yu Lie, he hurriedly begged for mercy.
"You waiter, if you had squeaked earlier, you wouldn't be lying on the ground now, right? How about, it's okay?" Yu Lie bumped into the waiter, feeling a little guilty, and immediately took out a broken piece from his arms The silver was thrown to the waiter.
The waiter, who had won the silver reward, could not care about the pain on his butt. He quickly stood up, pulled off the sweat towel on his shoulders, and brushed off the dust on Yu Lie's armor and said: "General, there is no need to worry about the villain, just don't worry. Just dirty your armor."
"As long as you have nothing to do, let me ask you, did my team leader bring a young man to the shop this morning?" Yu Lie saw that the waiter was fine, so he walked to the shop without saying any more nonsense.
The waiter hurriedly caught up with Yu Lie and said with a smile: "Master Wu, Mr. Wu, brought an important guest into the store at noon. I heard that he was the general's distinguished guest, so naturally he was arranged in the Tianzi room."
"You boy, you are quite clever. Lead me forward."
Go and meet. Yu Lie was in front and entered Yunxiang Pavilion first.
When the shopkeeper saw General Yu walking in quickly, he hurriedly came out of the cabinet and stepped forward to greet him.
"No need to be polite. Where is my distinguished guest now?" Yu Lie didn't care about these false gifts and waved his hand, leaving the shopkeeper at a loss as to what to do.
Yu Lie skipped the salute to the shopkeeper and was waiting for the waiter to come forward to lead the way, but he didn't see him following his steps. He frowned and immediately looked back and saw that the waiter in the pavilion was still standing next to the shopkeeper, hesitating.
His brows were raised, and he immediately turned around and shouted: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Quickly lead the way."
The waiter hesitated and said: "It's not...it's not because I don't want to, it's just...it's just..."
Yu Lie lost his temper, turned around and hurried to the waiter, grabbed the waiter's collar with his big hands, and asked in a solemn voice: "What, are you still waiting for me to reward you?"
The waiter was grabbed by the collar, his feet were already off the ground, and he spoke tremblingly: "General... misunderstood the villain, because... the distinguished guest had an order that... no one should disturb his rest. .”
When Yu Lie heard this, he became suspicious. Regardless of the time of day, it was morning and evening. How could anyone rest at this time? "When will the guests come in?"
"Noon...noon time."
"What time is it now?"
"Afternoon...afternoon time."
"Have the guests had a meal?" Yu Lie said, loosening the waiter's collar.
The waiter, who had fallen to the ground, hurriedly straightened his clothes and replied respectfully: "To the general, when the distinguished guest first entered the store, I knew he was the honored guest, the general, and served the best meal in the store to the table. Food and wine entered the room, but...the distinguished guest only said that he was tired and ordered the villain not to disturb him at will."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Yu Lie was filled with suspicion. He looked up at the second-floor wing and asked, "Where does the guest live?"
The waiter didn't dare to neglect, and pointed to the most secluded room on the second floor: "The Tianzihao room... That's our store... Oh, sir..."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Lie was seen taking long strides, three steps at a time, two steps at a time, stepped up the steps, and rushed straight to the Tianzi room on the second floor.
The shopkeeper and the waiter didn't know what possessed General Yu. It was obvious that the guest in the room was an honored guest introduced by him personally, but at this moment they were as anxious as if they had lost a prisoner. Although they were confused, they did not dare to He stepped forward to ask questions, but stood in front of the cabinet and watched blankly as Yu Lie rushed to the door of Tianzihao's room.
When he raised his hand to knock on the door, Yu Lie stopped, thought for a moment, took back his palm, and listened into the room.
There were not many customers in Yunxiang Pavilion. The shop was quiet, but the room was even quieter. It seemed that no one was there. Yu Lie listened for a moment, and suspicion suddenly appeared in his eyes. This young man was introduced by himself, thinking of his subordinates. The commander of the corps told himself that this young man had behaved suspiciously when he entered the city. If anything... he wouldn't lead the wolf into the house.
The thoughts of the soldiers were simple. After thinking about it, they could no longer hold back. They immediately took a step back, hunched their shoulders and exerted their strength. They gritted their teeth and slammed into the Tianzihao door, wanting to see if he was in the room.
The moment he saw that he was about to hit the door, he didn't expect it to open. Before Yu Lie could stop his steps, he rushed into the Tianzihao room under the force of force. He staggered and was about to hit the door in front of him. When a table of delicacies was knocked over, a hand from behind grabbed his cloak.
Finally regaining his balance, Yu Lie looked back and saw that the young man was wearing a middle coat and his hair was a little messy. He was holding his cloak tightly at the moment, rubbing his sleepy eyes with one hand, looking at him with a little confusion.
"Yu...Yu General, why are you here? Then...Didn't Mr. Wu Chief say that we have to wait until tomorrow?" The young man yawned. Seeing that Yu Lie had stabilized his figure, he immediately let go of the cloak in his hand. .
The young man's current state made Yu Lie extremely embarrassed. He broke open the door and was extremely rude. Looking at the young man's sleepy eyes, Yu Lie's mind was racing. He had an idea and thought he was quick to speak.
"Ah...what, that's...big good news, Brother Mu."
"Oh? What's the good news that makes the general so anxious that he even breaks open the door of my room to tell you." The young man's eyes seemed to have stars in his eyes, and he asked with a little joking.
Yu Lieben
Thinking that he had already changed the subject, the young man's sleep subsided and he did not realize that he had hit the door. However, when he heard the young man speak at this time, he knew that his actions were clearly seen by the young man. He was ashamed and did not know how to speak.
The young man is not a person who doesn't give up when he is in power. Once he has made his point clear, he stops talking and turns to Yu Lie's topic: "The good news from the general's mouth is that the general is willing to see me?"
"Exactly, now is the time for General Shan to recruit people. It would be a pity if my brother's good skills were buried here. I made the decision without authorization and made a recommendation. My general has already agreed. Now I have to recruit my brother. Let's go meet each other." Yu Lie saw that the young man no longer bothered about his behavior of knocking on the door, and obviously no longer cared about it, so he immediately spoke and told the truth.
After finishing speaking, he remembered what the corps commander had said about the strange behavior of the young man's entourage, and asked: "Brother Mu, your sister..."
"Here we come..." Gu Xiao pretended to rub his sleepy eyes, his mind was racing, Yu Lie finally asked about the whereabouts of Miss Murong.
Fortunately, when he was in Yunxiang Pavilion earlier, he had told the waiter not to disturb others. It was the waiter's obstruction that bought Gu Xiao some time. Taking advantage of Yu Lie's entanglement with the waiter, he came out of the back window. He broke into the room, messed up the room, and pretended to be sleepy, so he deceived Yu Lie.
But how to conceal Miss Murong's whereabouts? Gu Xiao yawned, turned around and walked to the couch, his mind was still spinning rapidly, thinking about how to get through.
"She... a country girl who has never seen the world. After entering the city, she was fascinated by the flowery scenery of Yanbei City. It's embarrassing to say that I, the elder brother, really couldn't discipline her, so I had to let her go. , made General Yu laugh..."
Gu Xiao still tried to get away with the same method he used to deal with the corps commander before, but Yu Lie was not a corps commander and had been a general for many years, so he was even more vigilant. Moreover, what he had given to General Shan was the brother and sister. If he only brought Isn't it difficult to justify one person's return?
"Compared to other cities in the northern states, Yanbei City is indeed more prosperous. It's a pity that our sister came at the wrong time. If we come during the Lantern Festival, we can see the scenery of Yanbei City better." Yu Lie sighed slightly, but did not give up. After understanding what he was thinking, he continued to speak.
"General Shan's summons is not a trivial matter, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... How about we wait for our sister to come back in Yunxiang Pavilion, and then go to see General Shan together?"
Gu Xiao heard the temptation in Yu Lie's words, but at this time Murong Wu's whereabouts were still unknown. Even if it got dark, Murong Wu would not be able to wait...
Looking back and smiling, pretending to be relaxed, the young man said: "General Yu's kindness is appreciated by my heart, but my sister is just having fun. I want to wait for her, but I don't know when she will come back. I'm worried that I'll miss her." When General Shan summons us... Otherwise, how about we ask the waiter of Yunxiang Pavilion to keep an eye on her and ask her to rush to General Shan's mansion immediately once my sister-in-law returns?"
Yu Lie couldn't refute what the young man said. He wanted to test it out, but the young man saw through it. But he really couldn't delay it for too long now. He weighed one and two, and based on the young man's intention, he said: "What Brother Mu said is true, then let's do it Don’t waste any more time and set out immediately.”
