Carrying the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 114 - Re-entering the Capital Protector
"Girl, that's a good plan." Yan Bin couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw the girl acting wildly. He reached out to help the freckled girl, but the girl dodged him.
"I can't catch up with him anymore. Come on, why don't I apologize?" Yan Bin saw that the young man had disappeared, so he had no choice but to speak to the girl again.
Lin'er looked at the direction where Gu Xiao's figure disappeared, and indeed he could no longer see it. The young guard in front of him seemed harmless. He immediately stood up, patted the snow on his body, and saluted the people who were watching: "Thank you, little lady."
You all are helping me out of kindness, and since this man has apologized, the little girl will no longer pursue the matter."
For such a trivial matter, the person who bumped into someone apologized, the person involved was fine, and the people dispersed after watching the fun.
Lin'er saw that the guard did not behave like a bad person, and had helped Zhang Siwei when he and Gu Xiao were in trouble during the day, so she asked, "I don't know why you want to follow us."
Yan Bin knew that he could no longer catch up with the young man at this moment. His mind moved and he thought of an excuse and said to the young girl: "My master had a very pleasant talk with Na Mu Shaoxia. He was worried that the guard would retaliate against you, so he sent him to the next step."
Protect."
When Lin'er heard this, she secretly thought something bad. Since this white-faced guard had been following Gu Xiao and herself all the way, wouldn't he have seen everything that happened when they visited the Lingzhou Protectorate that night?
Then I thought about it, since he found out but didn't make it public, it seemed that this person didn't want to make the matter a big deal. In this case, it was better to stabilize this person.
"Thank you for your kindness. The two of us thought you were the person sent by the guard to seek revenge during the day, so we took this trick to get rid of the entanglement. I hope you don't mind." Lin'er noticed the excuse of the white-faced guard and immediately
Then he spoke according to his words.
"Since this is a misunderstanding, I hope you can convey our gratitude to me." Thinking that by holding this person back, Gu Xiao would have more time to snatch away the pass documents, Lin'er bowed to Yan Bin and continued.
"But there is one thing that needs to be made clear by the girl, otherwise I won't be able to pretend not to see it." Yan Bin thought, since the young man Mu Yi is traveling with the girl, as long as he keeps an eye on the girl, Mu Yi will naturally come to find her.
.
"Your Excellency, please tell me, if this little lady knows, she should tell the truth." Lin'er looked at the young guard in front of him, and felt that this person seemed familiar, but she had only met him today.
"The young man Mu Yi and the girl acted righteously for the people. I admire them very much. But why did you two want to visit the Protector's Office at night? You must know the law of Qiyun. Anyone who breaks into the Protector's Office without a warrant will be punished in the lightest way and in the worst case.
Ask Zhan, what are you going to do?" The longer Yan Bin talked with the girl, the stronger the sense of familiarity in his heart became. This sense of familiarity has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, but more like the feeling of blood kinship with relatives who have not seen each other for many years.
.
The life and death of this boy and girl had nothing to do with him, but the familiarity in his heart made Yan Bin couldn't help but speak.
"We don't mean any harm, it's just that we can't explain the reason for a while, so please believe me." Lin'er thought for a while and replied seriously.
"Young lady must have guessed that the person I am protecting is also a member of the officialdom. There is no justifiable reason for the important matter, and I cannot decide the matter. Why don't you, young lady, follow me to my master and tell him the reason for the matter?"
I believe that you two did not intend to trespass on the Imperial Guards Division. As long as the reason is acceptable and the Lord values Brother Mu very much, I think he will pardon you two for trespassing."
Yan Bin is the commander of the Yunying Division, and he can be considered a person who has been involved in the officialdom. When he was in Beijing, he only obeyed the emperor's orders and never meddle in other people's business. However, the intimacy in his heart towards the girl in front of him made him reluctant to
He consciously opened his mouth and made suggestions to exonerate her and Mu Yi from the crime of trespassing into the Protectorate Division.
After getting along with each other these days, Yan Bin knows a lot about Wan Jun's character. He knows that Master Wan is not strict with trivial matters. As long as the girl expresses some reasonable reasons such as worrying about the revenge of the guard, Master Wan will treat the young man.
Concerns, these two people should not be pursued again.
"Okay, I'll go with you to see the official." Lin'er knew that if she didn't go, if the guard really got into trouble, things would get worse, so it was better to use his plan. During the day, the big man didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
As long as you make up some reasons to deceive him, you can escape immediately when Gu Xiaotong gets the official documents, and immediately agree to the offer of protection.
Yan Bin felt relieved when he saw that the girl was not timid. If she had something in her heart, she would never dare to agree to meet General Wan with him so calmly. He immediately made a "please" gesture, and then the two of them went to Wan.
and left the inn where Jun was.
——
But here, Gu Xiao, after splitting up with Lin'er, quickly caught up with Hu Hu's figure. He looked back in the direction of Lin'er uneasily, and saw that she had dragged away the person who was following him, and saw the people gathered around to watch, and he was somewhat convinced.
, there were many people present, and the people who were following me didn’t dare to wander around in the street.
I quietly followed the man for a while, and saw that he was walking to a remote place with no pedestrians around. I secretly thought that this is the best place to do it, and then I covered my face and stepped forward.
The Dantian's luck filled his chest, and Gu Xiao was about to take action when he heard several figures appear on the street corner in front of him. Along with the sound of footsteps, those figures shouted: "Chief escort, you are back. We are about to go find you."
you."
The visitors were Lv Si, Lu Dan and others from the Haw Par Escort Agency. When they saw their chief escort wearing the clothes of the Imperial Guard, they were all curious as they stepped forward to greet them.
"Chief escort, what you are wearing looks really brave."
"Chief escort, it's not because you want to be an official, right? Haha."
The few people were about to speak, but they saw Hu Hu's face was solemn, and he immediately fell silent. Hu Hu said, "Don't make any noise, just follow me back to the escort office."
Gu Xiao didn't care about the large number of people on the other side, so he started to take action. If these people shouted loudly and attracted officials, he was afraid that the gain would outweigh the loss, so he had to hide himself and continue to follow a few people to find a good opportunity before taking action.
After a while of drinking tea, several people entered a majestic house with four pillars and eaves. Gu Xiao took advantage of the moonlight and saw clearly the plaque hanging above the mansion, "Tiger and Leopard Escort Agency".
So this is it, Gu Xiao thought, and was about to sneak in to investigate, and took the opportunity to get the general document. He looked back and saw that Lin'er hadn't come after him. He felt bad and looked back at Hubao.
Escort, put aside the matter of common documents for the time being, turn around and head towards the street corner where Lin'er and I separated just now.
In the city, in order to avoid attracting attention, Gu Xiao could not use Qinggong and just ran wildly. In a short time, he had returned to the street corner where he and Lin'er had just separated. Now the place had returned to calm, with only a few passers-by hurriedly walking through.
Gu Xiao stepped forward and asked passers-by if they had seen the whereabouts of a freckled girl. All passers-by said they had never seen her before. When Gu Xiao was at a loss what to do, he thought of the Mandarin Duck Exquisite Pendant.
He reached into his arms and took out half of the mandarin duck pendant. He remembered that when he was at Liuzhuang, Lin'er had taught him how to use it, and he immediately used his luck in his Dantian to pour his internal energy into it.
The half piece of mandarin duck pendant in the palm of his hand was filled with Gu Xiao's internal energy, like a firefly in the dark night, flickering with fluorescence, and then under Gu Xiao's surprised gaze, it unexpectedly broke away from Gu Xiao's palm and slowly floated up.
Gu Xiao did not expect that this mandarin duck pendant would be so magical, as if it were a treasure from an immortal family. In order to prevent others from seeing such a strange sight, Gu Xiao quickly held the pendant with his hands and covered it up.
After a moment, Gu Xiao felt that the mandarin duck pendant in his hand was like a living thing, struggling slightly in his hand. Gu Xiao's mind moved, and he remembered what Lin'er said about the mandarin duck pendant looking for its owner.
Still holding the mandarin duck pendant firmly in his hand, Gu Xiao closed his eyes and meditated, feeling the direction guided by the mandarin duck pendant.
In a few breaths, Gu Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and ran towards Lingzhou City. But as the scenery on the roadside changed, Gu Xiao felt more and more something was wrong. Half an hour later, Gu Xiao actually followed the guidance of the mandarin duck pendant.
Came to a familiar place.
This place is heavily guarded, and it is the Lingzhou Protectorate that Gu Xiao and Lin'er visited earlier.
Gu Xiao felt a little flustered, thinking in his mind, could it be that his whereabouts were exposed during the investigation, and the senior man in the department found out the clues, so he sent people to investigate. The more Gu Xiao thought about it, the more he blamed himself. He should not have separated from Lin'er.
.
At this moment, I am afraid that the other party has already laid a trap for you to fall into the trap. But even if they have set a trap and are waiting for me to fall into the trap, for Lin'er, I have to bravely break through.
Having made up his mind, Gu Xiao avoided the guards who were patrolling the gate of the Duhu Department and came to the weakest guarded wall that they had just found during their investigation with Lin'er.
After confirming again that the Yuanyang Pendant in his hand was moving slightly towards the Imperial Guards Department, Gu Xiao carefully put the Yuanyang Pendant into his arms to avoid being exposed by the Yuanyang Pendant during the inspection.
As soon as the clouds appeared, Gu Xiao's figure was like a wind, and he instantly flew up to the courtyard wall of the Imperial Guard. He poured some water and stepped on the snow before walking on. Gu Xiao was like a vigorous civet cat, walking across the courtyard wall.
The first thing that came to his mind was naturally the prison where the prisoners were kept. Gu Xiao was so anxious that he was flying. After a few ups and downs, he had already reached the roof of the prison.
Lifting the tiles, Gu Xiao looked inside. Some of the prisoners were still wailing, and most of the prisoners had fallen asleep. After careful exploration, Gu Xiao did not find Lin'er's figure.
He patted his head. This place was full of men and would not hold female prisoners. He was really impatient and lost his sense of proportion. Suddenly he thought about the cells where Liu Yi was poisoned to death. They were all in separate cells. Was Lin'er being imprisoned there?
Gu Xiao looked at the patrolling guards below. Two teams of guards passed by each other at the spot where no one had noticed. He immediately turned over and landed in the courtyard.
But this time Gu Xiao learned his lesson. Last time he was almost discovered by the patrolling guards. This time again, Gu Xiao didn't stop after landing. Just like last time, he jumped to the beam in the corridor, hung his body upside down, and waited quietly.
There was a brief gap after the two teams of guardsmen went on patrol again.
Sure enough, not long after, two teams of guards came towards the cell. Gu Xiao waited until they passed by each other, then stopped waiting, jumped down from the beam, and ducked in.
The two rows of empty cell doors in this cell were open, as if they were the same as when he left. However, it was dark here and there was no light. Gu Xiao could only search one by one to see if he could find Lin'er.
Just when Gu Xiao's search was fruitless, he heard the sound of two people talking in low voices outside the cell door.
"Brother Zhang, please don't lie to me. I have always followed Brother Zhang's lead." Someone's voice sounded worried.
"Brother, don't worry. As long as I get through this difficulty, I will not treat you badly. Besides, I have dealt with all those people. There is no evidence. So what if Wan Jun is the commander-in-chief of our Northern Territory? We belong to Qi Yunchao after all.
The official is not an official of his Wan family. He has no credentials and no evidence, so he is afraid of being a bird." Another person said firmly.
Gu Xiao heard clearly that the person who spoke after that was none other than Zhang Siwei, who had been colluding with the Tiger and Leopard Bodyguard during the day. What surprised Gu Xiao even more was the person Zhang Siwei mentioned, the Northern Commander, Wan Jun.
