Seeing that there was no one else in the shop, Ran Dengjia whispered: "A few people came over to eat noodles yesterday, and I happened to hear some clues."
"What is it, Brother Ran, tell me quickly?" Gu Shengchao was anxious, almost choking on his mouthful of noodles, and kept coughing.
Hearing that Gu Shengchao was looking for Baixianzhuang, Ran Dengjia told him: "Yesterday, several people came into the restaurant to eat. They looked very anxious. When I was delivering the meal, I overheard them saying, 'Brother Tian from Baixianzhuang.'" , and what about 'There are people waiting for us at Girl Mountain'? Anyway, they were just words. They stopped talking when they saw me passing by, and that's all I knew."
"Where is Girl Mountain?" Gu Shengchao asked eagerly.
Ran Deng dipped his fingertips in tea and simply drew a route on the table: "Yunshang City is about seven or eight miles northwest of Yunshang City. You can see two big mountains to the north, and that's where it is."
Ancient Sage Chao ate the noodles like a storm, and even drank the noodle soup.
"Delicious," he praised.
The three of them casually chatted about daily life. Ran Dengjia glanced at the light coming from the ground and said, "The curfew will be in about an hour. It's not that we won't keep you, but it's because the inspections have been too strict recently. And I saw that you didn't ride a horse. We The horse has also been impounded by the government, so Brother Gu should go back early. Rest at the inn for the night, and then go to Girl Mountain to try his luck tomorrow morning when the curfew is lifted. My husband and I will also pay more attention and try to get as much useful information as possible. "
Gu Shengchao stood up and took out a hundred taels of silver notes and put them on the table: "I was unable to attend Brother Ran's wedding, so this is a gift to make up for it."
"Absolutely not. It is our greatest blessing that Brother Gu can come to the store." Ran Dengjia picked up the banknote and returned it to the fortress.
Gu Shengchao dodged and took out other banknotes: "To be honest with my eldest brother and sister-in-law, my younger brother made a fortune unintentionally. It is disrespectful to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha. My sister-in-law must have a lot of expenses in her life, and she should do it for the sake of her children. Take it."
Ran Dengjia glanced at Jiang Wan's swollen belly and said awkwardly: "Brother Gu is really our great benefactor. I'm afraid we won't be able to repay this kindness even if we just do nothing in our lifetime."
Gu Shengchao cupped his hands and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, take care. I'm going back first."
He hurriedly slipped away without waiting for Jiang Wan to get up.
Back at the inn, Gu Shengchao was about to ride out all night when the sound of drums spread throughout Yunshang City.
curfew begins.
In desperation, Gu Shengchao had no choice but to tie up the BMW again and chase the wind, and regretfully returned to the guest room.
Early the next morning, when the bell rang to lift the curfew, Gu Shengchao couldn't wait to get on his horse and gallop towards Girl Mountain.
Following the route given by Ran Dengjia, we soon saw two raised hills in the distance.
Zhui Feng, the BMW under the crotch of the ancient sage, saw the flat grassland, as if he had arrived at the vast grassland where he once lived. He ran happily with his hooves flying, and after driving more than fifty miles, he arrived close.
Before they even reached the foot of the mountain, they heard deafening shouts of killing.
"Stop them!"
"Don't let them get away!"
"Anyone who rebels against the party, young or old, will be killed without mercy!"
Zhui Feng rushed over with great energy, still very excited. If the ancient sage Chao hadn't stopped his horse, he would have passed him in one breath.
The two mountains look small from a distance, but they look towering when you get closer.
A group of people rushed down from the mountain, and the besieging army at the bottom of the mountain swarmed up, trying to trap the group of people at the foot of the mountain.
The ancient sage rode up to the front, and the team that rushed down had been cut apart by the army and completely broken up. Everyone was fighting independently, facing attacks from all directions at the same time.
The horses suffered the most in this kind of melee, because many of the besieging troops were infantry, and they relied on the collision of cavalry to successfully intercept them. The infantrymen stabbed the horses with long spears, and the horses were stuck in place and could only spin around. Without defense, they were easily injured.
Amid the neighing, the horses were frightened and ran away or fell dead, leaving their riders behind.
With the men on their backs and their horses knocked over, it became increasingly difficult to fight their way out of the encirclement of the army.
In a chaotic scene, Gu Shengchao saw a carriage speeding ahead.
Several people rushed to block the situation on horseback, and the horses raised their front hooves high.
A soldier stabbed the horse in the belly with a spear. The horse ran wildly in pain. The carriage behind it turned over and fell to pieces. One person rolled out of it.
Upon seeing this, the owners of Baixian Village, Yan Yifan and Tian Mang, slashed with their swords on the left and right to prevent others from approaching. Yan Yifan helped the man up and whispered: "Your Highness, follow me."
The two of them rushed outside while protecting him.
The man, who was in his thirties, pulled out the sword he wore on his waist and tried his best to fend off threats from both front and rear.
Gu Shengchao turned over and dismounted, patted Zhui Feng on the buttocks and warned, "Run away and come back to me later."
He put more force on his hands, Zhui Feng seemed to understand the words, and ran away into the distance with a long hiss.
Gu Shengchao turned around and was about to go over to help when he saw a man flying in mid-air, holding a pair of maces and leaping towards Yan Yifan and Tian Mang.
"The defected prince Yang Jimin is here. The emperor has an order. Whoever kills him will be the first to do it."
It turned out that they were protecting the prince.
Gu Shengchao stepped over in the air, holding the two swords awarded by the Emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty in both hands, and stopped the person.
The man in front of him looked familiar. Seeing his shiny head, Gu Shengchao finally remembered that in the contest between Baixianzhuang and Yongchangtang, it was this bald man who used his internal power to interfere with Yan Yifan's state, causing him to perform abnormally and almost lose. .
"It turns out it's you, old and new grudges will be settled today." The bald head also recognized Gu Shengchao, gritted his teeth with hatred, picked up the mace and hit him in the face.
Gu Shengchao did not give in and resisted with both swords.
"Bang!"
Since they were in mid-air, they were not as supportive as being on the ground, so the two of them were like falling leaves, swinging more than ten feet backward.
The bald man threw the pair of maces in his hands, and two in the air turned into four, four turned into eight, and eight turned into sixteen...
In the blink of an eye, countless maces came towards the ancient saint and pressed them down super densely.
Gu Shengchao did not panic. He divided his swords and used the "Phoenix Dance to Seek the Phoenix Technique". With a deep and powerful dragon roar, a giant dragon appeared out of thin air. It bared its teeth and claws and rushed into the center of the mace formation. .
"boom!"
A loud noise like thunder.
The great array of maces vanished into nothing.
The air wave spread to all directions, and the people fighting below became unstable and fell down one after another.
When the formation broke, Baldhead stretched out his hand to summon back his pair of maces. Knowing that he was outmatched, he stepped on the maces and fled in embarrassment.
Gu Shengchao did not intend to let him go. Moved by his thoughts, the giant dragon hovering in the sky swooped down and swept it with its huge tail. The bald head had no time to dodge and was thrown up high.
Before he could adjust his posture in the air, the giant dragon soared up, raised its sharp claws and patted lightly.
The zhenqi gathered by the bald head collapsed, and he fell down, hitting his head on a hard rock, and died immediately.
