Sun Gusheng did not stay in Xishu for long. He had already returned to Kyoto to make some preparations.
This time he traveled to Western Shu and brought out all the imperial guards, just to bring out this big fish.
Apparently, his plan worked.
The big fish has already approached the hook, and the next step is to throw out more and bigger baits to get the big fish to bite the hook.
Before leaving, Gu Xiaotian also asked for a few things, such as Leng Lingfeng staying in Xishu.
Sun Gusheng trusted Gu Xiaotian very much, and handed over the Secret Investigation Department in Xishu to Gu Xiaotian. Whether these subordinates of the Secret Investigation Department would go or stay, Gu Xiaotian had to say it. Calculate.
After Gu Xiaotian thanked him with clasped fists, Sun Gusheng got into the carriage he came from, opened the curtain and said with a smile: "I'll wait for you in Kyoto."
Gu Xiaotian scratched his face and said evasively: "Can it be later?"
He still has to go back to Taibai to bury Hao Hao's bones there. The journey will indeed be quite far.
Sun Gusheng nodded and said: "Okay, I will prepare everything in Kyoto, and then I will wait for you, the chef, to fry it."
The carriage slowly moved away from Jinguan City, and Gu Xiaotian took a long breath.
There are some mixed feelings in my heart. I originally planned to take advantage of this period of time to have a good rest and follow the orders of my senior brother to touch the threshold of martial arts. But now it seems that I don't have time anymore.
After Gu Xiaotian left the Yulin camp, he came to the place where Hao Hao's body was buried. After thinking about it, he finally didn't throw away the earthen grave. Instead, he picked up some soil nearby and put it into the cloth bag he brought. , it is probably another kind of fallen leaves returning to their roots.
It doesn't matter where the bones are, it matters
The purpose is to return the footprints to Taibai.
Three days later, all affairs in Xishu were settled.
Lu Zhi was released, and Leng Lingfeng also put aside the previous suspicion, and let Lu Zhi return to the Leng family to continue to be in charge. Lu Zhi wanted to refuse, but he didn't know what Leng Lingfeng said to him, so he readily agreed. Come down.
As for Leng Weinan, Gu Xiaotian also handed it over to Yin Zheng according to Gu Qingfeng's order, and asked Yin Zheng and Fan Miao to bring the Tiandi Alliance back together and wait for Gu Qingfeng's arrangements.
There are also the subordinates of the Secret Investigation Department. Except for Leng Lingfeng, they all chose to return to Kyoto and continue to work for the Secret Investigation Department.
Gu Xiaotian felt a little pity, but after all, it was someone else's wish, so naturally he couldn't say anything more.
Oh, by the way, there were also the three little Taoist priests. They also went back early. During this trip to Xishu, Gu Xiaotian felt a little sorry for these three people. After all, one of them was seriously injured, although in the end it was I got better, but in the end I felt sorry for myself.
However, before leaving, the little Taoist named Ziyang secretly told Gu Xiao that his little master uncle was about to leave the mountain, and asked Gu Xiaotian to put everything aside until his little master uncle came down the mountain.
Gu Xiaotian asked who meant it, Zi Yang or Zhao Qixing.
Ziyang hesitated, and finally squeezed out the words that Gu Xiaotian didn't like to hear the most.
The secret cannot be revealed.
At the city gate, a carriage had been prepared early.
Yu Huan wanted to go with him at first, but was rejected by Gu Xiaotian. After all, Sun Gusheng in Kyoto still had important things to do. Although the Yulin camp had lost a lot of soldiers, it was still a fighting force, and he might be able to help. It’s up to Sun Gusheng to be busy.
go too
On Bai's road, only Xiao Yinyin followed him.
As a military doctor with the team, Xiao Yinyin has been busy these days and is really exhausted.
After all, there are many injured people but few people who know medical skills.
Xiao Yinyin sat in the carriage and complained: "If I had known that traveling in the world would be so tiring, I shouldn't have followed you out in the first place."
Gu Xiaotian asked with a smile: "What, do you regret it?"
Xiao Yinyin shook his head and said: "I have no regrets at all. I just feel that the road is too dangerous. If someone doesn't pay attention, his life may be lost."
Gu Xiaotian's eyes dimmed and he murmured: "Yes, I lost my life accidentally."
Realizing that she had said something wrong, Xiao Yinyin quickly laughed, avoided the sad topic, and asked about other things, "What do you want to do most after returning to Taibai?"
Gu Xiaotian thought for a while and said: "I probably hope to have a good sleep first. To be honest, during these days in Xishu, I haven't been able to get a solid sleep even after it ended."
This is true. After all, I didn't dare to sleep before because I was afraid that something might happen at any time. After that, I couldn't sleep because the war was about to start. Every time I dealt with something, it would be dawn as soon as I finished dealing with it.
Xiao Yinyin smiled and said: "Your requirements are quite low."
Gu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "It is probably difficult to meet such a low requirement."
Then the two started chatting.
During this period, Xiao Yinyin also asked some things about Taibai, and she didn't stop once she started asking. She had been staying in Qingling Cave before, and knew very little about the outside world. Even though she had seen a lot this time, she was still confused. A confused look.
Moreover, for this first door in the world
Who wouldn’t be curious about the faction?
Gu Xiaotian was a little tired from being asked. In the end, he just leaned on the edge of the car and muttered a few perfunctory words. It didn't take long for him to start snoring slightly.
Xiao Yinyin looked at Gu Xiaotian who was sleeping, gently picked up a blanket and covered him.
…
…
Xishu is some distance from Taibai, and since this trip is not in a hurry, it is naturally much slower.
The carriage stopped in front of an inn, which had left Xishu and entered central China.
Walking into the inn, the place was already overcrowded, with only the shabbiest seat left in the corner.
Gu Xiaotian didn't mind. He sat in that seat and ordered a few dishes and waited quietly.
Xiao Yinyin had to sigh at the vastness of the Central Plains. Compared with Xishu, this place has a different scenery, and it looks prosperous.
"Do you know, the Leng family of Xishu is gone! From now on, there will never be any king with a different surname!"
At the next table, a rough-looking man was talking loudly about these things.
His whole face was red, probably because he drank too much. The more he talked, the more he couldn't stop him. He continued to talk: "I really envy that person named Gu Xiaotian. He became famous at a young age and is a young hero. If I had the chance to see him, I would kowtow to him three times. Without him, the world would still be in chaos!"
Xiao Yinyin laughed after hearing this and said softly: "There is someone next door who wants to kowtow to you. Why don't you come out and recognize him?"
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand and said: "It's just a booing name, nothing to show off."
Xiao Yinyin said oh and listened quietly to the fun over there.
In Gu Xiaotian’s heart,
There is some warmth, and the things I have done are finally recognized.
Regardless of whether there is any exaggeration in this, as long as someone recognizes it, it is a good thing and proves that it is always right to keep going on this road.
The big man next door boasted fiercely to Gu Xiaotian, saying that he would be the number one in the Eight Wastelands in the future, and that he would be a blessing to the people. In the end, even Gu Xiaotian himself felt a little embarrassed. Am I that awesome?
However, there was a scholar-looking person on the big man's table. He suddenly interrupted the big man and said: "But this world is still far from peace."
The big man looked at the scholar and said dissatisfiedly: "Xu Duzi, what are you talking about? Are you stupid by reading to yourself?"
The scholar named Xu suddenly lowered his voice and said: "When I was in the academy, I heard some other things. I only told them secretly, but I didn't want to make it public."
Looking at his mysterious appearance, the big man immediately calmed down, sat on a chair, and listened with his ears.
Gu Xiaotian also pricked up his ears. As a warrior, his hearing was naturally different from ordinary people. Although the scholar named Xu lowered his voice, he could still hear clearly.
"I heard in the academy that another organization has recently emerged called the Ten Thousand Demons Society."
"The person behind the Ten Thousand Demons Association is said to be a woman, and she is very beautiful. However, as the old saying goes, there is nothing more poisonous than a woman's heart. Among my classmates, some of them have received invitations from the Ten Thousand Demons Association. "
Xu Shusheng said with some regret: "They are all people who have read the books of saints and sages, but I have never seen some of my classmates in the academy since they received the invitation. After thinking about it, I think they may have really defected to the Ten Thousand Demons Club."
. "
Gu Xiaotian frowned when he heard the words "Ten Thousand Demons Club", and when he heard that the person behind the Ten Thousand Demons Club was a woman, he immediately thought of one person.
flying birds.
Since leaving Beihuang, Feiniao has not appeared in front of Gu Xiaotian. When Gu Xiaotian was in Xishu, he ignored this matter, but he did not expect that in this short period of time, Wan Yaohui would His hands have actually reached the Central Plains.
The big man at the next table punched the table hard, making a loud noise, and said angrily: "They are a bunch of rip-offs. Isn't the court not good enough for these scholars? They must go to the Ten Thousand Demons Association!"
Immediately afterwards, the big man looked at Xu Shusheng and asked, "Xu Duzi, didn't you fucking receive the invitation?"
Xu Shusheng shook his head and said: "Of course not. Not long after I entered the academy, I only took one scientific examination, but I didn't pass the exam. Maybe it was a little short of their requirements."
The big man threatened: "Even if you receive the invitation, you are not allowed to have any evil intentions, otherwise I will beat you to death first."
Xu Shusheng nodded repeatedly.
Probably because Xu Shusheng's words disturbed the big man's drinking mood, he got up and left the table after taking a few bites of food.
Gu Xiaotian had been paying attention to the expression of the scholar named Xu. He probably read something and got up with them. After paying the bill, he followed them out of the inn.
Xiao Yinyin had already mastered some skills in observing words and expressions, and asked: "Do you suspect that the scholar named Xu is lying?"
Gu Xiaotian nodded. Words can deceive, but eyes cannot.
When the Ten Thousand Demons Association was mentioned, the scholar surnamed Xu had some feelings in his eyes.
Yearning for.
After the big man and Xu Shusheng waved goodbye at the street entrance, Xu Shusheng walked alone on the street, walking slowly.
Gu Xiaotian has been following Xu Shusheng without alerting him. When Xu Shusheng walked into a small courtyard, he waited outside for a while before climbing over the wall and entering the small courtyard.
This courtyard is not big, but Scholar Xu is not a poor scholar. His family is not well-off, but it still allows him to have enough food and clothing.
His wife had been waiting in the room for a long time. After Xu Shusheng came in, her wife walked to the door, looked out twice, then closed the door and locked it tightly.
This scene was all seen by Gu Xiaotian. The woman looked obviously very panicked, for fear of being discovered.
If she wasn't feeling guilty, why was she panicking?
Gu Xiaotian flew up to the roof with Xiao Yinyin, took out a talisman from his pocket, painted on it, and stuck it on the roof.
The function of this talisman is very simple, that is, it can listen to sounds through walls. These little tricks are nothing to Gu Xiao.
Inside the house, the wife said in a panic: "You didn't make others suspicious, did you?"
Xu Shusheng said calmly: "It's okay, they are all a group of simple-minded guys, and it is easy to be deceived. However, I have already told everything about the Ten Thousand Demons Association. With their influence in the city, it will probably not be long before they..." I will spread the word about this matter, and I will complete the task assigned to me by the Ten Thousand Demons Association."
