"Fu Cheng." Lan Zhao called his name helplessly.
Fu Cheng grinned at her and said, "Sister Lan Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time. My sister is even more beautiful."
Lan Zhao asked him, "Why are you here too?"
Fu Cheng raised his hand to block the direct sunlight from the cloudless sky, squinted his eyes and said to Lan Zhao, "The elders were afraid that Senior Brother Pu Zhou would abandon Miss Ning halfway, so they asked me to watch from behind."
"Don't you need to practice swordsmanship anymore?" Lan Zhao still remembered that this child was a swordsman who was addicted to practicing martial arts and couldn't help himself.
At this point, Fu Cheng sighed, with a somewhat frustrated tone, "I haven't made any progress since I went back. They all said I had too little experience, so they kicked me out."
Fu Cheng has a delicate appearance, red lips and white teeth. In two or three years, he will be an out-and-out handsome young man. Now he looks aggrieved and sad. He thinks someone has bullied him.
Lan Zhao didn't know how to comfort him. She brushed the broken hair beside her ear and said, "You are still young. Given time, you will definitely do it."
Fu Cheng became even more embarrassed by her comfort: "Why am I so young? Senior Brother Shen Xuan is already very powerful at this time. How long will it take for me to beat him like this?"
Lan Zhao was speechless for a moment. She spent most of her time listening to other people talking. She didn't know how to make others happy.
But this was because she was overthinking it. Lan Zhao had an outstanding appearance, and people would often feel happy when they saw her face. How could she have any other ideas? She doesn't need to coax herself at all.
In Fu Cheng's eyes, Lan Zhao was soft-spoken and unlike the sisters in his sect who shouted to kill each other, nor was he as oppressive as Ruan Xianbei Sangzhu. All in all, he felt like a spring breeze by his side, very comfortable and relaxed. , so when he found Lan Zhao going to the roof alone, he followed him.
The matter between the two of them has long been no secret in the Xuanyue Sword Sect. Pu Zhou was once in an uproar. Fu Cheng didn’t understand why Pu Zhou didn’t try harder to fight for Lan Zhao since he liked him. To him, it seemed like Pu Zhou was just paying lip service. I love you so much without actually doing anything at all for their future.
Hungry strikes to hurt yourself or anger with your elders will only make the situation worse. You must have the strength and the right to speak to get what you want. Even Fu Cheng understands things that Pu Zhou doesn't seem to understand. This time, he promised to accompany Elder Ning's niece to meet the world. Now that he was accidentally bumped into by Lan Zhao, even Fu Cheng was embarrassed for him.
Fu Cheng has a cheerful personality, and his emotions come and go quickly. He touched his stomach and said, "Sister Lan Zhao, I'm a little hungry. Shall we go down to eat?"
"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you to this meal."
"Hahaha, then I want to eat meat!" Fu Cheng laughed, and the two of them jumped down. After all, standing on the roof for too long was too conspicuous.
After entering the inn, the waiter greeted them warmly. Fu Cheng and Lan Zhao chose a seat by the window and waited for their food to be served.
"Sister Lan Zhao, why are you here?"
"I was planning to go to Ansui Village, where Ruan Ruan and Suisui are both."
"Ansui Village? What's going on?" Fu Cheng had been in seclusion and didn't care about the gossip outside. He only learned about such a place when Lan Zhao talked about it.
"Is such that......"
Lan Zhao gave him a brief summary of what happened in Ansui Village, and Fu Cheng sighed and realized that he really didn't know about it.
Lan Zhao came from Xizhang County and their current location was a few days away from Ansui Village. The place where the secret treasure Fu Cheng and the others were going to was found was in the northwest, which could be said to be in the completely opposite direction.
"Sister Lan Zhao, based on the time you received the letter, it's been almost seven or eight days, right? By the time you get to Ansui Village, they might have left."
"Well, I wrote to them when I left, but they haven't heard back yet."
Fu Cheng's eyes lit up as he thought of something, and he tilted his head and said, "Can I go with you? Sisters Xianbei and Suisui are both here, so Senior Brother Shen Xuan must be there too!"
Lan Zhao laughed. His behavior was like that of a child: "Aren't you going to follow Pu Zhou?"
Fu Cheng waved his hand: "Oh, what does this have to do with it? According to what I have observed over the past few days, Miss Ning is an extraordinary woman. I don't think Senior Brother Pu Zhou can get rid of her."
After he finished speaking, he paused, as if he realized that he had said something wrong. Pu Zhou's inability to get rid of Ning Shi should not be considered a good thing in Lan Zhao's eyes.
Fu Cheng quickly made amends, "Sister Lan Zhao, um, what I mean is..."
Lan Zhao lowered his eyes and then looked up at his panicked look, with a somewhat downcast look in his eyes: "It's okay, I knew from the beginning that Pu Zhou and I would be impossible. Even if there wasn't Miss Ning, there would still be Miss Wang and Miss Zhao. Pu Zhou Zhou is too soft-tempered, and he doesn't know how to reject a girl if she shows weakness to him."
"But -" Lan Zhao paused, with a faint smile on his lips: "Junior Brother Fu Cheng, I don't want to go with you, I want to go by myself."
In addition to his sword skills, Fu Cheng is most proud of his sweet words and cute face. He is very popular among his sisters with his mouth that can make people die without paying for it. Fu Cheng, who never expected that he would be rejected, was stunned. , the first time he encountered Waterloo, he even opened his mouth and forgot what he was going to say next. The scene was very embarrassing.
Fu Cheng was petrified on the spot, and Lan Zhao had a faint smile on his face. Little did he know that her smile made the entire lobby quiet, and the guests at other tables were secretly looking at their table. Everyone was afraid that making noise would disturb the fairy from descending to earth. Everyone has a love for beauty. The more you look at fairies, the more you can eat two more bites of rice.
"Sir, please be careful when serving food!"
Fortunately, the waiter at the shop brought the food and broke the embarrassing situation. Fu Cheng also recovered from the petrification. He laughed and said to Lan Zhao: "Eat, sister Lan Zhao, let's eat first."
Lan Zhao hummed and stopped talking.
...
Ansui Village.
Cheng Suisui walked around the door several times, restless, and finally saw a familiar figure shouting: "Ruan Ruan is back!"
"Found it." Ruan Xianbei walked in. She was in a hurry to go out. Her hair was simply tied into a ponytail and tied back. Whether it was rain or sweat, her forehead hair was wet and stuck to her face.
Cheng Suisui was still looking for something to wipe her with, but Shen Xuan had already handed her a handkerchief and asked, "Where is it?"
She took the handkerchief and wiped her face: "There is a small road leading from the back of Xi'er's house. Miss Mu and Xi'er are together. It seems that there should be no danger for the time being. Keep walking along that road and another woman comes out to greet them. I didn’t follow too closely, I came back first after feeling it out.”
Xu Pei looked at her and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Ruan."
"It's okay." Ruan Xianbei looked away from him for a second, sat down, drank some water and started talking about business, "What are you doing now?"
"Kill him directly!" Cheng Suisui was the first to raise his hand to speak.
"How are you?" Shen Xuan looked at her. She was the only one who was tossing back and forth a little. Everyone else had taken a break, so there was no problem.
"I'm fine, please hurry up and save yourself a lot of sleepless nights."
But she looked down at her clothes, secretly irritated. She had no clothes to change. If she had known that she would have to change three sets of clothes a day when she came to this place, she would have bought a few more clothes from Yangzhou City.
"Then you take a rest and set off later."
"I'll go too." Xu Pei said.
Shen Xuan: "Senior Brother Xu, can your body still bear it?"
Xu Pei smiled and said: "I can bear it and won't cause trouble to everyone. How can I just make you suffer?"
The villagers had returned to their homes long ago under the arrangement of the village chief. Shen Xuan asked Cheng Suisui and Tong Chun to stay and take care of the situation in the village to prevent the villagers from being uneasy and causing casualties. Therefore, no one knew that something was wrong with Xi'er's family. problem.
Cheng Suisui pulled Ruan Xianbei out and said, "Senior Brother asked me to tell you that Senior Sister Sangzhu is looking for you."
Sang Zhu is looking for her? Ruan Xianbei was a little confused. Maybe he thought of something to explain?
"Okay, I'll go there and be right back."
"I'm here." Ruan Xianbei came to Sangzhu's yard and walked inside after hearing Sangzhu's voice.
"Sister Sangzhu, are you looking for me?"
Even though I knew there were corpses in the house, I still felt a little disgusted when I saw them in the daytime. There were no traces of a fight on anyone's body and I didn't know how they died. Sang Zhu sat elegantly on the edge of the bed. Ruan Xianbei praised that beauty is a beauty. She has amazing willpower. If he could lie down and not sit up, he would have collapsed.
"Yes, I want to say..." Sang Zhu looked at her and only said half of her words. The place where Ruan Xianbei entered was backlit, and there were no lights in the room. She seemed to be standing in the shadows.
Sang Zhu stared closely at Ruan Xianbei's face and said, "I want to say that I feel better today and I should be able to suppress the toxins."
"Can you go a little closer?" Sangzhu made this request inexplicably.
"That's good." Ruan Xianbei followed the instructions and took a few steps forward, but there were corpses lying on the ground and she really didn't want to get too close.
"Why are your clothes so wet?" Sangzhu asked, "Did something happen again outside?"
"Yes, she took action again this morning. We have probably tracked her down. She is indeed in the mountains."
"Turn to the left." Sangzhu made another request.
Ruan Xianbei:? ? ?
"Senior Sister Sangzhu? What's wrong with me?" she asked doubtfully.
Sangzhu turned to look at her and said, "Cover the lower half of your face a little."
Ruan Xianbei raised his sleeves to cover the lower half of his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.
Sangzhu breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his clenched hands.
"When you came in, I just thought you were..." She looked at Ruan Xianbei and said, "That person... looks somewhat similar to you, but after you covered the lower half of your face, he didn't look so... They look similar, well, if you look closely, they look different, especially their eyes."
When Sangzhu said this, it was probably not an ordinary similarity.
"Someone has seen you before."
Ruan Xianbei suddenly remembered what Ruan Yan once said to her, the secret about her long-term disguise.
She raised the corners of her mouth with a mocking smile, was she finally getting close to that? She really wanted to know what kind of monsters were making trouble outside in her skin.
Wait until I catch you and see if this saint doesn't tear your face apart.
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Around Qin Hu
Looking around, I found a wooden stick with a sharpened top lying under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before dawn, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
