On the other side, as the sky grew dark, Guo Baokun also worked hard and finally found the killer in the black market.

Looking at the farmer in front of him, who had a simple face and a round body, and giggled while cracking melon seeds, Guo Baokun's heart went cold on the spot. The smile froze on his face, and he looked at him carefully for a long time, with two words written in his eyes.

Suspect!

Upon seeing this, the farmer hurriedly explained, took two steps closer, and pretended to be serious: "The killer wants to disappear into the crowd and blend in with the crowd to strike. If the appearance is too conspicuous, it will make people wary and take precautions in advance."

As he spoke, he revealed his true colors, showed a naive smile, and said with a smile: "Look at me, a harmless person like me, who is the best."

Guo Baokun reluctantly believed it. The money had already been spent and he had no choice but to believe it. The corner of his mouth twitched and said: "Then what do you call me? Where are the others? Are they all here?"

"My dear, Zhao Da, I have met the young master." The farmer said sheepishly, "As for the others...the village has been busy with farming these two days, so if the young master waits, they are still on the way."

"What are you waiting for! Fan Xian has already left the city in the morning." Guo Baokun was anxious when he heard this, and said anxiously, "Didn't I ask you to call them all to Kyoto? They are still busy with farming... Are you professional?

ah!"

Zhao Da noticed Guo Baokun's increasingly ugly face and quickly said, "Don't worry, young master. We are all veterans who have retired from the front line. There is a lot of blood. For example, when it comes to killing people and stealing goods, we are above the standard."

I promise not to miss the young master’s business.”

"The mission is not moving fast. We can catch up a few days later." Zhao Da comforted, "It won't be a mistake, it won't be a mistake~"

"But Fan Xian has already run away!" Guo Baokun's heart felt cold again, and he said angrily: "No, we can't wait any longer."

After being beaten by Guo Youzhi, Guo Baokun was eager to prove himself. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "We will set off right away. You can ask the remaining people to meet us outside the city."

Zhao Da's persuasion was useless, so he had no choice but to comply with the employer's request and agreed to set off now and meet up halfway.

Guo Baokun simply packed his luggage, and while the city gate was still open, he took the horse he bought from the market and left the city with Zhao Dayi. As soon as he left the city, he saw Zhao Dayi outside the opposite city gate.

The vegetable farmer who was sorting out his goods winked wildly, and when he took a closer look, he saw four strange-looking guys, one tall, one short, one skinny and one stupid, rushing toward him with the fruits and vegetables in their hands.

"These are...vegetable farmers?" Guo Baokun pointed at the people gathered around him. His boiling heart felt cold again, and he turned to look at Zhao Da.

Zhao Da was also a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "I brought them from the countryside. There is no road to guide them and they can't enter the city gate. I thought it would be easier to sell all these vegetables before leaving so that they can get on the road more easily."

"This is called busy farming in the village? This is called still on the road? This is called... a killer above the level?" Guo Baokun said in a normal way, suppressing his anger and lowering his voice.

"This is Qian Er, this is Sun San, this is Li Si, and this is Wang Wu, all of them are good soldiers in the army." Zhao Da was also thick-skinned and didn't care about Guo Baokun's sarcasm. He took a cucumber with a smile and persuaded.

: "Don't be angry, young master. Eat a cucumber to relieve your anger. It's all water from your own excrement. It's extremely delicious."

Guo Baokun's heart was frozen into ice. He pushed everyone away, but he wanted to lead the horse to kill Fan Xian.

Seeing this, Zhao Da quickly gave a warning to everyone and followed quickly: "Master, don't worry, it's getting late and it's not safe to drive at night. It's better to rest for the night and start again tomorrow morning."

Guo Baokun was so angry at this time that he could not listen to Zhao Da's suggestion and rode a horse for more than ten miles before calming down.

The surrounding forest is dense and pitch black, with faint spots of light flickering on and off, and shadowy shadows accompanied by the howling night wind.

There aren't any ghosts here in the wilderness, right?

After calming down, Guo Baokun felt that his scalp was numb. He was the only one around him. The flickering fire in the depths of the jungle not only did not make him feel at ease, but even the cold hairs on his back stood up suddenly. He wanted to look back but did not dare.

, I just hope that the people he left behind can come over and join him as soon as possible.

"Young Master, Young Master!" Zhao Da trotted all the way. When he saw Guo Baokun waiting for them by the mountain road, he couldn't help but beam with joy. He came forward to greet him and said with a smile, "I knew that Young Master was reasonable and would be considerate of us."

"Ahem...I think what you just said is right. It's really not safe to travel at night. Let's set up camp here and leave at dawn." Guo Baokun coughed lightly and wanted to lead everyone away from the jungle.

However, Wang Wu, who looked the most naive, suddenly stopped, pointed at the flickering fire in the jungle, and said: "There is someone in the woods."

Zhao Da followed Wang Wu's gaze and noticed the flickering fire. He thought about it and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, you rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out. Young Master, let's go over and say hello and stay overnight, right? That's it.

It’s good to have someone to take care of you.”

Even if Guo Baokun didn't want to, he couldn't win over everyone, so he had to follow them closely into the jungle.

As he got closer, most of the tension on Guo Baokun's face disappeared, because as soon as he entered the forest, he smelled a faint smell of smoke. As he walked closer, the smoke became thicker, and he saw a thin young man squatting.

Next to a pile of branches, he coughed and lit a fire.

Zhao Da stepped forward and said with a smile: "This little brother, do you need help?"

The young man obviously didn't notice someone approaching from behind, so he couldn't help but fall to the ground with a "Ah~" sound, and looked at everyone in panic.

"Uh...it turns out to be a girl." Zhao Da took out the fire sticks from his arms, picked out a few dry ones from the branches, lit them carefully, glanced at the young man, and saw a few blackened dirt.

Unable to conceal her delicate and graceful appearance, under the flickering firelight, her gleaming eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, which was quite scary.

"Don't be afraid, girl, we are not bad people." Zhao Da could see that this woman had an extraordinary background, so he slipped Guo Baokun behind him to his side and introduced: "This is Guo Baokun, the son of Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites, does the Minister of Rites know?

Officer! He’s not a bad person.”

The woman was dumbfounded. Not only did she not relax, but she became even more vigilant.

Guo Baokun glared back at Zhao Da, straightened his clothes a little, took half a step forward, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the woman's face deliberately dodging through the firelight.

"You are...Fan Ruoruo!"

Guo Baokun's eyes widened, and he took two steps forward, reaching out to grab the woman's wrist, but she waved her hand and slapped it away. This time, he was more sure of the other party's identity.

"Okay! Okay! I was just thinking about how to kill Fan Xian, but I didn't expect you to fall into my hands!" Guo Baokun laughed loudly and said with a proud look on his face, "As long as I tie you to Fan Xian

, I don’t believe that he can be captured without restraint!”
