Any shopkeeper of the Shen family knows that there is a cousin named Gu, because both Shen Cong'an and the four Shen brothers have specifically warned her several times.
As long as you see a token representing the identity of the Shen family, with the word "Gu" engraved on the back, the person holding the token must be the cousin.
You must respect your cousin and listen to whatever orders you give.
backyard.
Gu Qingying asked: "Do you know the news about my brother Gu Xiao?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, his face changed slightly.
Gu Qingying immediately realized that something was wrong.
Frowning, he asked, "Did something happen to my brother?"
The shopkeeper nodded solemnly and quickly told what he knew: "Young master led people to suppress the bandits half a month ago, but he didn't want to be ambushed in the end and suffer heavy losses."
Gu Qingying's heart started to rise: "Then how is my brother now?"
She just wanted to know how Gu Xiao was doing now.
What was happening now was something she had not expected before.
The shopkeeper shook his head and apologized: "Miss Cousin, I don't know much. If you want to know about the young master, I can send someone to inquire now."
He is busy at the inn every day.
I also specifically inquired about Gu Xiao, but not many people knew how Gu Xiao was doing now.
Gu Qingying said: "Save me a room in the upper room, and you don't have to worry about anything else."
There is also a hidden door in Qingcheng.
After leaving the inn, we quickly found the Yinmen stronghold.
After Gu Qingying confirmed her identity with her contact person, she was invited upstairs.
The contact person told me about Gu Xiao.
"Master, we have definite news that Mr. Gu is still alive and in the mountains outside the city, because the bandits are still looking for Mr. Gu and the others."
When Gu Qingying heard this, she finally felt relieved.
As long as Gu Xiao is alive, nothing else matters.
Gu Qingying stood up and stretched her hands and feet: "How many hidden sect masters are there in Qingcheng?"
The contact person quickly said: "Including me, there are twelve people in total!"
Gu Qingying thought for a moment and said, "Do you know the specific location of the bandits?"
She didn't plan to go to Gu Xiao, but planned to kill the bandit directly.
After all! It is very difficult to find someone in the vast mountains.
She believed that her brother was also paying attention to the bandits. As long as she killed the bandits, her brother would naturally come out.
The contact person seemed to understand the meaning of Gu Qingying's question.
She looked at Gu Qingying in surprise and said, "Does the sect master want to eradicate the bandits personally?"
Gu Qingying nodded.
The contact person actually got a little excited and shouted "Okay!" and then said: "These bandits in Qingcheng are extremely arrogant and have killed many innocent people. Many businessmen in the past have died. I will inform the others to come over right away. .”
Gu Qingying felt that the contact person was quite enthusiastic.
After drinking tea upstairs and waiting for a while, a total of twelve people including the contact person arrived.
The room also became a little crowded.
The twelve people present looked at Gu Qingying with admiration.
They had heard about Gu Qingying's achievements.
He directly killed the assassins of Beiliang Kingdom and did not dare to come out. This record alone was enough for them to respect him.
Gu Qingying felt the fiery gazes in front of her.
He smiled softly and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The contact person smiled and said: "Everyone admires you. We have heard about the achievements of the sect master for a long time. Our admiration for you is like the endless stream of a river..."
Even if you wear it a thousand times, you will never wear it!
Lu Qingying also liked to hear all kinds of flattery, but the contact person seemed to have gone too far.
He laughed dumbly and said: "I'm not as powerful as you say, let's talk about business! I want to go out to the city to suppress the bandits. After the task is completed, each person will be rewarded with two thousand taels of silver. If unfortunately he dies, I will give your family 10,000 taels of silver. If
If you are injured, I will compensate you as appropriate. Which of you is willing to follow me to suppress the bandits?"
There are only thirteen of them in total, which is a very dangerous thing.
After all, there are at least dozens of bandits.
These dozens of bandits may also be well-trained killers.
Therefore, this operation is actually very dangerous.
Although she is the leader of the Hidden Sect, she will never force anyone to do anything. She will go with those who are willing to go, and she will not force anyone who is unwilling to follow.
The twelve people agreed directly without even thinking about it.
Each one said excitedly, "We are willing."
The contact person also said firmly: "I am willing too!"
They had wanted to kill the bastards outside the city for a long time, but there were too few of them, and they were afraid that they would anger the bandits and cause them to do even more outrageous things.
One of the killers said: "I don't want payment!"
Several other people also expressed their opinions.
Gu Qingying was very satisfied with the reactions of these killers.
But he still said: "I still have to ask for money. Anyway, I have money! You go and prepare it now. Later..."
The contact person quickly said: "No need to prepare, everyone will be ready when you come, just leave the city now."
When Lu Qingying went downstairs, he saw that the carriage was ready. The coordinator personally drove the carriage for Gu Qingying, while the rest of the people led the horses and followed the carriage out of the city.
After leaving the city gate, the carriage picked up speed.
The contact person also started talking to Gu Qingying about these bandits.
"After the order was passed down from above, we have been paying attention to the affairs of these bandits. We can confirm that the leader Lin Jiang is definitely from the Western Regions, and some people have seen that among these bandits, there are many bandits with the appearance of the Western Regions."
Gu Qingying also has experience in suppressing bandits.
Said: "Tell me where they are stationed now?"
The contact person immediately said: "They are stationed separately. There are three living places in total. It's just that we don't have enough people to attack three places at once!"
I feel regretful when I talk about this.
Gu Qingying didn't care.
"Take your time! These people should have other purposes for coming to Tianyuan Kingdom, and they probably won't leave until they complete their mission."
It's a little late.
Gu Qingying just wanted to take advantage of the night to do things.
So we stopped when we were still three or four miles away from the bandit village.
The twelve hidden killers, including the contact person, all put on night clothes.
Gu Qingying said with murderous intent in his eyes: "There is only one mission today, kill as many people as possible. None of these bandits are innocent, so use blood to comfort those innocent people who died!"
These bandits will definitely be killed.
Although doing so may have helped Beiliang.
But she couldn't care about that much. She just wanted to help Gu Xiao complete the task as soon as possible and then leave together.
Gu Qingying got on the carriage, and when she got off again, she also changed into night clothes.
The identity must not be exposed.
With their faces covered, the group slowly approached the bandits' stronghold under the cover of night.
At the same time, on a mountain top about three or four miles away from the bandit village.
Gu Xiao led the remaining thirty or so people and stared at the brightly lit stockade below.
This is the farthest house of the bandits.
Due to the terrain, the people living here are businessmen or ordinary people kidnapped by bandits, and there are not many bandits stationed here.
There are too many bandits living in the other two villages. There are more than thirty bandits among them, so it is really not suitable to take action.
