Nangong Zheng personally led his people to the Qihuan Mountain Ferry to wait. At the same time, Nangong Zhen also led his people to kill countless horses and rushed to the Dongshui Ferry to wait and wait, in order to get rid of the merits.
But after waiting for two days, no one was there.
At this time, Nangong Zheng also felt that his prediction was wrong. With his small face, he stared at the mirror-like ice layer on the Lingshui River that glowed with clear light when the sun hit it. His face was as sinking as water.
After staring for a while, he said: "What a great Zhou Gu."
After a while, he added: "Duke Zhou Gu of the Protectorate is worthy of being the husband chosen by Ye Guixue after being abandoned by the princess."
Although neither Su Rong nor Ye Guixue deliberately let the news out, how did Ye Guixue come back? How did Ye Xiang become gloomy for many days after Ye Guixue came back? You can guess that Ye Xiangfu's plan failed.
Ye Luo looked at Nangong Zheng and asked in a low voice: "Master, have you fallen into the river and drowned before anyone came? Or did you go to Dongshui Ferry? No one was intercepted by Nangong Zhen? Did someone hide from you? Yes? He was afraid that you would offend him, so he sent a message saying that he didn’t expect anyone?"
"None of them." Nangong Zheng said, "Nangong Zhen wouldn't dare to fool me even if he had a hundred courages."
He said: "It may not be that he fell into the river and drowned. Zhou Gu probably expected that I would lead people to intercept and kill these two places. He was desperate and entered the poisonous forest."
Ye Luo immediately said: "In the Poison Barrier Forest, poisonous gas is permeated all year round and poisons are rampant. As long as a person steps in, he will be poisoned and die in less than an hour."
He wanted to say that even if Zhou Gu wanted to seek death, he would not do so. If you follow them to a hard kill, you might still have a way to escape alive, but if you enter the Poison Forest, you won't be able to walk out for three days. Let alone three days in the Poison Forest, the bones of the corpse will be chewed by the poison in one day. Not even a scum is left.
"Those who dare to walk through the poison forest must have amulets. Maybe they have something on them that can resist the poison." Nangong Zheng was annoyed that he didn't expect it, but so what, he didn't have anything on him that could resist the poison or Naturally, it is impossible to follow up with drugs.
Ye Luo woke up and said, "Sir, what should we do now?"
Nangong Zheng said with a cold face, "Give me the order for all the secret guards of the Nangong family to turn back and look for the pursuer in the direction of Daliang."
The leaves should fall immediately.
Nangong Zheng added: "Send a message to Nangong Le, Nangong Zhuo, and Nangong Xi. They will take over the matter entirely. Zhou Gu must be found and killed."
Needless to say, the king, if Zhou Gu is killed, there will be no one around the king to protect him, he will die the same way.
The leaves should fall again.
Nangong Zheng said: "As for me..."
He lowered his eyes and said, "According to the original plan, we will go to the Wei Dynasty to meet Prince Yuan Zhao to borrow troops."
He could no longer play the cat-and-mouse game with Zhou Gu. The most urgent task was to meet Prince Yuan Zhao, which was even more urgent. Otherwise, once Zhou Gu cannot be found, he and the king cannot be killed, and when the princess comes and has Daliang as a backer, then the Nangong family may be desperate.
He had to fight for another way for the Nangong family.
As a result, Nangong Le, Nangong Zhuo, and Nangong Xi received Nangong Zheng's messages from three different directions at the same time.
After receiving the letter, the three of them did not refute at all. Over the years, Nangong Yin has already established Nangong Zheng's position very firmly. Nangong Zheng is the center of myth and power in the Nangong family. Everyone except Nangong Yin must Follow his orders. As long as he gives orders, they must be obeyed.
Therefore, even if the three of them were older, even if Nangong Zheng called them uncle, they immediately took orders and started searching along the beam with the Nangong family's secret guards.
This time Zhou Gu and Zhang Yun felt the joy of traveling easily. Zhou Gu's estimate was accurate. Among them, Nangong Zheng had a two-day gap after reacting. The two-day gap was enough for Zhou Gu and Zhang Yun to take them with them. The King of Nanchu walked freely on the ground where the Nangong family's secret guards were separated.
By the time Nangong Zheng came to his senses, they had already traveled hundreds of miles. Not only would the carpet search cover a large area, it would also be difficult to find where they were going.
The time difference was good, and they used the Poison Barrier Forest to bully Nangong Zheng who was still young. Even though he was very talented, he never imagined that they had the life-saving tools to resist the Poison Barrier Forest, dare to enter the Poison Barrier Forest, and return despite the difficulties.
This calculation made King Nan Chu feel that he couldn't do it not only at Zhou Gu's age, but even now, he couldn't do it.
Hey, this king does seem to be a waste.
Zhou Gu saw the admiration on King Nan Chu's face clearly, and proudly tilted his head towards him, smiled next to him and asked: "Father-in-law, how are you? I told you to turn back, right?"
King Nan Chu stretched out his hand and pushed his head away, "Your roasted pheasant is almost burnt. I won't eat it."
Zhou Gu immediately turned around and muttered, "How could it be? You can't get away with talking."
Zhang Yun has now learned how to bake things. As he salted and seasoned the pheasants and rabbits, he thought about it and said, "It's very strange."
"Why is it strange?" Consultant Zhou.
"We have been walking for half a month, and no one from the Nangong family has come after us. This is not what Nangong Zheng did." Zhang Yun said: "Think about how hard we were forced half a month ago. He never Thousands of miles away, the fast horses and people from the capital city almost caught up with us. Wave after wave of people almost killed us, broke down two-thirds of the secret guards, and forced us to change our route through the poisonous forest. . It’s been half a month now, the secret guards have all joined us, and no one has found us. If it’s Nangong Zheng, there’s no way he can’t find us.”
"Perhaps Nangong Zheng has other things to do." Zhou Gu also felt that something was wrong about this matter and had been thinking about it for a long time. "Perhaps, there are more important things for him now than finding us and killing him. If so, Nangong Zheng, two days' delay doesn't mean anything to him, now it's really time for someone to catch up."
His plan was to make it less scary for people to catch up. It would be best to keep chasing them, but there must be no one behind them now. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so quiet and quiet.
Zhang Yun couldn't figure it out, "Maybe. Anyway, it would be better if we catch him if he doesn't find him. In such a comfortable life, I would be crazy to want to catch him."
"Eat quickly, and continue on your way after eating." Zhou Gu handed the roasted pheasant to the King of Nanchu. He felt that it was because of his filial piety in serving him that his father-in-law would return to the palace in the future and become Lian Lian. The Queen of Nanchu, whom the Emperor of Liang ignored, probably wouldn't make things difficult for him.
The King of Nanchu stretched out his hand to take it. The pheasant was roasted and browned, and fragrant. It was his favorite bite.
The group finished eating quickly and continued on their way without stopping for a moment.
After walking for another seven days, it became clear that the inspections in every town, state, county and county were becoming very strict again.
Zhang Yundao: "The Nangong family has finally locked our direction."
"Are you looking forward to it?" Zhou Gu tilted his head to look at him.
Zhang Yun coughed lightly, "After more than twenty days of Ansheng's journey, I thought everyone in the Nangong family was dead, but suddenly they were alive again, and I was a little excited."
