Fan Datou didn't know anyone was coming, so he still begged: "Good girl, I really fell in love with you at first sight. If you promise to stay with me forever, I will open the door and let you out now. Although I, Fan Datou, am so licentious, as long as I If the girl agrees to marry me, I will definitely change my past and be a new person. I will only love the girl for the rest of my life, and I will have no other intention."
"I don't believe your nonsense. Get out of here while my eldest brother is not here. When my eldest brother comes, you will have nothing to eat and walk around." Yuchi Yao said in disgust.
"Fan Datou, it's really you, are you going to destroy us all for the sake of women?" Zheng Kaifeng scolded sternly and appeared in a flash, with Yun Bo next to him.
Yun Bo sneered and said: "Brother Fan's acting skills are really poor, so I have to guard against him. Please hand over the key."
"You guys, follow me." Fan Datou pointed at the two of them.
Zheng Kaifeng waved his hand: "It's because you can't keep your temper. You keep coming over here again and again during the day. You can't blame others."
"Where is the key? We agreed to work together in times of trouble, and we all swore an oath. Do you know the consequences of betraying your brothers?" Zheng Kaifeng's face was gloomy, and he stretched out his palm.
"for you."
Fan Datou threw out the key in fear, and while Zheng Kaifeng moved aside to grab it, he jumped into the room and ran in the other direction.
"hateful."
Zheng Kaifeng became angry and was about to chase after him when a shout of murder suddenly came from the yard in front.
"Does he have any accomplices? You stay here and I'll come back as soon as I can." Zheng Kaifeng ordered and jumped towards the front yard.
In the dark night, Yunbo stood alone in front of the door and stood guard quietly.
Now was the perfect opportunity. Gu Shengchao jumped out of his hiding place without hesitation and came behind Yun Bo in one swift step.
Yunbo was about to turn around when he heard the sound, but several key points behind him were hit, and he was unable to move immediately. I wanted to shout, but I couldn't speak.
Gu Shengchao ignored him, reached out and grabbed the door lock and twisted it hard.
How could the small copper lock withstand his strong inner strength? It broke with a "bang" and the door opened.
Yu Chiyao inside had no idea what was going on outside, thinking that someone was breaking in, and warned: "Don't come over, I have practiced kung fu."
"Don't be afraid, it's me, your eldest brother Shengchao." Gu Shengchao stood at the door and explained in a low voice.
Under the moonlight, the position where Gu Shengchao stood was just illuminated.
"Brother Gu." Yuchiyao felt wronged and wanted to rush over and talk. She took a few steps and then stopped hesitantly. The grudge in her heart was still not resolved.
Gu Shengchao took the initiative to step forward and hold her hand: "Yao Yao, don't be afraid, brother will take you out right now."
"Yes." Yuchi Yao was moved to tears. She secretly wiped away her tears and ran out with Gu Shengchao.
There were shouts of killing in the front yard, and Gu Shengchao pulled Yu Chiyao and planned to leave from the back.
"If you dare to bully my daughter, I will fight with you." A voice shouted in the night sky.
Gu Shengchao and Yuchi Yao were both startled.
"My mother is here." Yuchiyao heard Liu Ximei's voice and her eyes lit up.
Gu Shengchao immediately thought that he must have waited for a long time without seeing them, and Liu Ximei broke in alone and was discovered.
"I'll take you over to find her."
After running a few steps, Gu Shengchao was worried about Liu Ximei's safety, so he bent down and said, "It will be faster if I carry you there."
Yuchi Yao also wanted to see Liu Ximei as soon as possible, so she obediently lay on Gu Shengchao's back.
The ancient sage climbed onto the roof and jumped straight over.
Under the night light, two men holding machetes stopped them.
Gu Shengchao didn't bother too much. He used the Phoenix Dance sword technique with his left hand and passed between the two of them.
"ah!"
"oops!"
When Gu Shengchao carried Yuchi Yao on his back, the two men discovered that each of the hands holding the sword had a broken finger. They couldn't help but drop the machete and howl in pain.
When we got to the roof of the courtyard in front, a few people in the courtyard were fighting.
During this period, Liu Ximei used the "Iron Arm Magic", covering her skin with shining silver armor. Under the moonlight, it became more and more crystal clear, like a layer of shining skin.
Zheng Kaifeng held a spear in both hands, and he and three others were besieging them.
In the stalemate between the two sides, neither one can do anything against the other.
Gu Shengchao wanted to let go of Yuchi Yao, but he was afraid that someone would kidnap her again, so he simply jumped down with her on his back and stabbed Zheng Kaifeng behind with his sword.
Feeling the sword energy coming from behind, Zheng Kaifeng did not look back or turn around, but stared at Liu Ximei, and turned his carbine to stab Gu Shengchao behind him.
He moved with the gun, shot out, and then turned around to watch.
Gu Shengchao was almost injured by a carbine in Beihu Baisha City. He was always on guard. When he saw the spear coming, he raised his foot and kicked the gun barrel accurately.
The spear kept shaking and making a "buzzing" sound.
Zheng Kaifeng couldn't hold it anymore, and the shaking spear made his hands and jaws numb, so he had to let go.
Before the spear hit the ground, Gu Shengchao flew out with a kick, and the gun barrel spun a full circle in mid-air, hitting the calf of one of Liu Ximei's enemies.
The tip of the spear pierced the man's left leg and then pierced his right leg.
"ah!"
The man screamed and fell backward.
While the remaining two people were stunned for a moment, Liu Ximei punched one person in the chest, and the person tried to block with both arms.
"Crack!"
The bones in the man's forearm were shattered, and he flew out sideways.
The last person saw that Zheng Kaifeng was too busy to care for himself, so he turned around and ran away.
Zheng Kaifeng lost his spear and was stunned when the ancient sage's super sword swept towards his chest. He was about to use his fists and kicks to dodge, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Liu Ximei approaching with murderous intent. He secretly screamed that something was wrong and quickly moved away.
Seeing that the two men were not attacking, he took a breath and looked up to see Yuchi Yao carrying Gu Shengchao behind him, and he suddenly understood everything.
"May I ask the names of the two high-ranking people?" Zheng Kaifeng was convinced that he had lost. The four of them could only draw a tie with Liu Ximei. Now he was the only one left to face the two of them. He was lucky to escape unscathed.
Gu Shengchao did not hide anything and said directly: "I am just a young young minister of the Hubu Sinong Temple. You must have heard of it!"
Zheng Kaifeng opened his eyes wide in shock, thinking of the past rumors, and said in disbelief: "Could it be that the original East Heavenly King and North Heavenly King of Wuwang Palace were killed by you two?"
"Almost!" Gu Shengchao nodded to acknowledge that Wanruo's role was crucial at that time, but there was no need to explain too much at this moment.
After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Kaifeng took out a money bag from his arms and presented it to him with both hands respectfully: "This is your one hundred taels of silver. We have not touched any of it. Now we will return it all."
Liu Ximei stepped forward and took the money bag, weighed it and put it away.
"We will not neglect to serve this girl with delicious food and drinks. You two can rest assured." Zheng Kaifeng was humble and did not dare to offend these two people.
"Farewell." Gu Shengchao carried Yuchi Yao behind his back and left, followed closely by Liu Ximei.
The two of them walked out of the door openly and without anyone stopping them.
Back at the house, Dong E and Wan Yanxi were overjoyed and prepared a midnight snack to calm Yuchi Yao's shock.
Liu Ximei hugged Yuchi Yao and said worriedly: "Yao'er is afraid of the dark at night. I wonder how she survived last night?"
Speaking of this, Yuchi Yao's nose became sore and her tears fell again. She lay on Liu Ximei and sobbed: "I was scared to death, but I couldn't go anywhere in the dark room, so I had to endure it and cried for a long time. In the end I was really sleepy, so I managed to get some sleep."
"None of them bully you, right?" This is the question Liu Ximei is most concerned about.
"No, it's just a man who has been outside the house all day saying that he wants to let me go, but he wants me to agree to marry him. I know mother..."
She glanced at Gu Shengchao gratefully and whispered: "I knew that mother and brother Gu would definitely come to save me, so I didn't agree."
"That's right, as long as your mother is here, she will protect you even if the sky falls." Liu Ximei wiped away her tears lovingly.
That night, Liu Ximei and Yuchi Yao lived in the same room, Dong E and Wan Yanxi rested together, and Gu Shengchao had to sleep alone.
After tossing and turning and unable to sleep, Gu Shengchao practiced his sword in the yard.
Although Feng Wu was already proficient in swordsmanship, during the battle with the Eagle Demon that day, he always felt that there was something wrong, as if he had made a breakthrough. If he felt that there was no breakthrough, he couldn't tell what was wrong.
While he was thinking about it, the door to the side room opened slightly, and Wan Yanxi walked out holding an ordinary sword.
"You can't sleep either?" Gu Shengchao asked.
Wan Yanxi smiled sheepishly and said: "You also know that my life on the grassland is too comfortable here. I only eat and sleep every day, and I am not sleepy at this time. My little sister is not proficient in swordsmanship. After hearing that Brother Gu I’m practicing swordsmanship, so I wanted to come over and ask for more advice.”
"You're welcome, sister. I also have something that I don't understand. Let's learn together." Gu Shengchao said matter-of-factly.
Both of them were open-minded and eager to learn, and they practiced for more than an hour before going back to their houses to rest.
In the afternoon of the second day, Gu Shengchao was at Sinong Temple looking for someone to learn how to organize the accounts and help Jin Anchun and others sort out the accounts. A eunuch came to deliver the order, saying that the emperor wanted to summon him.
Somewhat uneasy, Gu Shengchao came to the Questioning Pavilion of the palace.
It is not morning time, the emperor usually works in the Questioning Pavilion.
After saluting and taking his seat, the emperor asked Gu Shengchao about his recent work status.
Gu Shengchao made no secret and said: "Your Majesty, I am just a warrior. I work in the government around documents. It is really difficult for me to bear the heavy responsibility."
"I want to give up so early, but if I continue to endure, you will still be a meritorious official when I ascended the throne. Even if you have a temporary job and do nothing, I will give you a lot of salary every month."
The emperor took out an envelope with a hot lacquer seal on the seal. He took the envelope and said: "This contains a hundred taels of gold silver notes, which can also be exchanged at a special bank in Serang. There is also a letter that needs you to deliver." Baixian Village in Xileng Kingdom."
"Should I go alone?" Gu Shengchao thought that there should be more than ten people in the envoy to Beihu.
Unexpectedly, the emperor really nodded and said: "It's just you. This matter needs to be kept low-key and don't let more people know about it besides you and me."
"Why?" Gu Shengchao really didn't understand.
The emperor smiled: "When I was a hostage in the West Cold Country, Baixian Village took good care of me. Although they had the intention of housing rare goods, they also helped me overcome many difficulties. It is appropriate to give me some money."
"I'm afraid His Majesty's plan is more than that!" Gu Shengchao guessed.
"Oh, tell me." The emperor became interested.
