Nangong Zheng and his men worked hard day and night to follow the trail, and within a few days, they had chased him thousands of miles away.
When he received the news that Xiaojiu was missing, Nangong Zheng immediately thought, "It seems that Xiaojiu was shot."
Ye Luo beside him was shocked, "Sir, who can shoot Xiaojiu?"
Everyone knows that flying eagles are the most difficult to be shot down at high altitudes, especially trained eagles that fly higher and are more alert. Logically speaking, such a thing will not happen.
Nangong Zheng said: "Since it was Zhou Gu who brought the king out of the royal capital, it was naturally him. The Duke Protector's horseback bow and arrow skills are something that others cannot do."
Ye Luo looked at Nangong Zheng, "Master, what should we do?"
Nangong Zheng narrowed his eyes and seemed to be getting more excited, "Continue to follow my orders and keep an eye on the flying eagle. If you have any news, please report it to me at any time."
Ye Luo nodded and passed on the order.
Zhou Gu and the others were not going smoothly on the way to Xiling. Even though Zhou Gu shot a flying eagle, he was quickly found by the second, third, and fourth eagle...
After walking a hundred miles, he shot four flying eagles, but in the end, one of the fish slipped through the net, and like a frightened bird, it dodged his arrow and flew away.
Zhou Gu held the arrow, rubbed his sore arm, and turned back to An Jiu and said, "Trouble will really come next, so be prepared!"
Anjiu nodded.
Zhou Gu took advantage of the break to clean his sword. He turned around and saw Zhang Yun also cleaning his sword, and asked him, "Your sword is also rusty?"
Zhang Yun glanced at him silently and took away the silk cloth on the sword. The sword shone with cold light, allowing him to see clearly that it was not rusty.
Zhou Gu chuckled, "Oh, it's not that the sword is rusty, it's our hands that are getting rusty."
After all, how many days have passed since I didn't do anything anymore.
Zhang Yun didn't want to pay attention to him. It was impossible to rust, whether it was a sword or his hand.
Zhou Gu finished wiping his sword, put it back into its sheath, and sighed, "I just hope that Ziye is not so stupid and comes to me quickly, and don't really let me kill someone with my bare hands."
After he finished speaking, he asked Zhang Yun, "Your Liuying should be smarter than Ziye, right? You know who found him, right?"
Before Nangong Zheng had eradicated the prince's hidden stumbling block, they had already sent a message to Ziye and Liuying, asking them to find a way to get rid of the Nangong family's mad dog and quickly join them.
"I don't know." Zhang Yun really doesn't know. After all, Ziye is the person around Zhou Gu. Are there any fools around him? As for how much smarter he is than Liuying, it depends on how the two of them compare.
"Let's go! It's good to run more." Zhou Gu pulled King Nan Chu onto his horse.
The King of Southern Chu has been pampered for many years. Although he has been exercising privately to strengthen his body five years ago, and ordered his trusted imperial doctors to treat him, he is still not as good as the young people. He can't bear to work day and night. Now he He could no longer ride a horse, so Zhou Gu had to take him on a horse.
He felt that he was holding Zhou Gu back and felt a little ashamed, so he kept his face pale and said nothing during the whole journey.
Whenever Zhou Gu saw that he had a pale face and was not feeling well, he would give him a medicine to nourish his body. Anyway, Su Rong gave him a lot of good medicine. Although he used a lot of it, there was still some leftover to feed the King of Nanchu. Eat, but I can afford it.
Sure enough, after the flying eagle left, it was intercepted seventy or eighty miles away, and hundreds of killers swarmed in.
Zhou Gu handed the King of Southern Chu over to Zhang Yun, "You protect him while I go up and take action."
Zhang Yun immediately said: "Your Majesty, An Jiu is here."
Zhou Gu said rudely: "An Jiu's martial arts is better than yours. If he comes with me, my father-in-law will be left to you."
Zhang Yun: "..."
It turned out that he disliked him for his low martial arts skills.
So, some people were left to protect the King of Nanchu. Zhou Gu, An Jiu, and half of Ye Guixue's bodyguards, headed by a secret guard named Yindong, faced off against the killer sent by the Nangong family and fell into a trap. Fight.
King Nan Chu saw Zhou Gu's two-handed sword for the first time. He only saw one person and two swords in the center. With a radius of three feet, people can't get close. Not only can they not get close, but under his sword, people can almost be killed.
Although the young man was disguised, his appearance looked very ordinary. King Nan Chu had not seen Zhou Gu's real appearance for so long, but at this moment, he had a sword in both hands, which made King Nan Chu feel extremely amazing.
The King of Nanchu was facing the fight, avoiding the killer, and being protected. He was still thinking in his mind. No wonder Ye Guixue let his daughter give up. The little thing Zhou Gu really has some skills and can deceive the little girl. like him.
There were many killers recruited in the first wave, but there were also many secret guards around King Nan Chu and Zhou Gu. Therefore, after a fierce battle between the two sides, in the end, Zhou Gu, Jiu An, and the secret guards led by Yin Dong took over. With the upper hand, the Nangong family's secret guards saw that they could not kill the King of Nanchu, and even Zhou Gu was only slightly injured. The leader waved his hand, said "withdraw", and withdrew without fighting to the end.
This surprised Zhou Gu. He licked the corner of his mouth, wiped the blood from his sword on the dead body on the ground, squinted his eyes and said, "This Nangong Zheng is really a character."
However, he is still two or three years younger than him.
After he came to Nanchu, he came into contact with countless killers. They all stalked him. If he couldn't be beaten to death, he continued to beat him until he couldn't kill him. If he didn't complete the order or retreat, he would naturally be given a death order. The secret guard killer.
But Nangong Zheng was different. The order he issued was obviously that if he couldn't be defeated, he would have people retreat and continue to track him, waiting for him or making repairs before making a comeback.
"Let's go on our way." Zhou Gu returned the sword to its sheath.
Everyone continued to mount their horses and move forward.
The King of Nan Chu finally spoke, "Zhou Gu, a two-handed sword, is good, and he deserves his reputation."
Zhou Gu curled his lips and smiled, "Thank you father-in-law for the compliment."
The King of Nanchu smiled when he saw that he was still in a mood, thinking that this boy was indeed the one his daughter fell in love with and eventually chose to be the king's husband. In the future, he will definitely be no worse than Ye Guixue as the prince's husband.
After traveling for dozens of miles, sure enough, the killers came back again. This time, they were dense, their knives were sharp, their swords were full of murderous intent, and the number of people was larger than the previous wave.
Zhou Gu also pushed the King of Southern Chu to Zhang Yun and his men for protection, and he and the secret guards fell into a new round of killing.
When they were two hundred miles away from Xiling, the secret guard with him had been killed by two-thirds of the Nangong family's forces.
As for Nangong Zheng, it was obvious that he was chasing after him immediately.
At the same time, looking at the mountains and forests ahead, Zhou Gu had a hunch that Nangong Zheng might have mobilized local soldiers, because when he studied the county officials in various states in Southern Chu, he clearly remembered that the governor of Yutian County was Nangong Zheng. Home people.
There is no reason for Nangong Zheng not to use this card.
