Swordsman Hejiabao Chapter 134 - Invitation to Walk Together
Gu Xiao was startled when he heard the woman in white mention "Murong Valley". He remembered what brother Tianya once mentioned when he was at Yuelai Tower, "I would rather follow the path of the King of Hell than enter Murong Valley." He kept a calm expression on his face and said: "
Everyone in the world knows that this Murong Valley was created by Murong Fengling, who is on the top list of China's Lingjue List. I wonder if what the girl said is the same place as what I heard."
Seeing the young man blurting out Murong Valley, the woman in white nodded lightly and said, "The rumors you heard are good."
Gu Xiao stopped and asked curiously: "Is the disappearance of these friends of mine related to Murong Gu?"
"I don't know." The woman in white shook her head lightly and returned.
When Gu Xiao heard the answer from the woman in white, he almost staggered, scratched his head and said: "In that case, I am really eager to find someone's heart, so I will leave first." After that, he went to seek help from General Wan.
"Wait." The woman stopped Gu Xiao again.
No matter how good-tempered Gu Xiao was, he was still slightly annoyed when the woman stopped him five times.
"Girl, our misunderstanding has been eliminated a long time ago, but I have something important to attend to. I really don't have time to bother with you here..."
Before Gu Xiao finished speaking, he saw the woman in white take out something from her cuff. This thing was something that Gu Xiao was very familiar with. What she saw in the hand of the woman in white was a piece of slightly yellowed leather. There was a faint trace of something in the leather.
The ink mark reappeared in it, it was Feng Ling's ticket.
But the Fengling Pawn Ticket that he and Lin'er took from Liuzhuang was lying quietly in his arms at this moment. Obviously, the one in the hand of the woman in white was not the one from Liuzhuang.
The woman's cold eyes clearly saw Gu Xiao's reaction when he saw the Feng Ling pawn ticket. Seeing Gu Xiao reaching out to take it, the woman retracted her hand slightly, avoided Gu Xiao's palm, and said coldly: "You still know
What, tell me."
Seeing this situation, Gu Xiao also knew that it was useless to be anxious, and said: "What I know has been told truthfully just now. What else does the girl want to know?"
He stared at the young man with his cold eyes for a moment, and when he saw that the young man's expression was genuine and did not look like he was lying, he opened his mouth and said: "My three senior brothers and I were ordered by the master to go outside the customs to perform the mission in the sect. When we returned,
, passing by Lingzhou, at the foot of this mountain peak, beside a road, I suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the forest."
When Gu Xiao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Fight? Then what."
Seeing the anxious look on the boy's face, the woman continued: "The four of us and I didn't want to get involved in this kind of battle. At this moment, a man emerged from the forest, holding a woman covered in blood in his arms.
." After saying that, he pointed towards the foot of the small building peak.
Gu Xiao looked in the direction pointed by the woman. It was in the forest where he was searching for everyone just now. He couldn't help but be shocked. As the woman in white said was true, the injured woman was probably Lin'er. In a hurry,
He grabbed the arm of the woman in white and asked urgently: "What? How is the woman? Is she seriously injured?"
In a hurry, Gu Xiao's attack was careless. The woman in white felt that the young man's attack was like lightning, and her arm was sore from his grasp. However, the woman had practiced martial arts since she was a child and had a tough character. She just frowned slightly and pulled out her arm.
When Gu Xiao saw the woman withdrawing her arm, he realized that he was being a little abrupt, and said with a slight apology: "I am very anxious, my hand is a little heavy, and I hope that the girl will be more considerate. Can the girl tell me where the woman's injury is? What is the injury?"
Is it heavy?"
The woman saw the young man's eager eyes and thought that she had grown up in a house and no one had ever cared about her so much. She actually felt a trace of envy towards the injured woman in her heart, but she still said in a cold tone:
"When my senior brothers saw this situation, they no longer stood idly by and wanted to mediate to see if the two sides could stop fighting. So I accompanied the injured woman outside the forest and the man holding the woman
Then he led my three senior brothers into the forest."
"After they left, about half an hour later, the sound of fighting in the forest gradually disappeared. I wanted to go into the forest to investigate, but the injured woman seemed to be extremely anxious, so she asked me to wait outside while she set off on her own.
Check."
When Gu Xiao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He could still go into the forest to investigate. The injury should not be serious. Then he asked, "What happened after that?"
"The woman entered the forest just as she burned the incense, and I saw the scarlet light in the forest lighting up the entire forest. I was worried about the safety of several senior brothers, so I went into the forest to investigate. When I entered the forest,
The ground was in a mess, only weapons were left on the ground, and several senior brothers had disappeared. I searched all over the forest, and only found this Feng Ling pawn ticket." The woman in white told the truth about what she saw.
After hearing this, Gu Xiao realized that when the woman saw the mandarin duck pendant with scarlet light in her hand, she thought she was the owner of the strange red light, and then attacked him secretly.
"I see... Since the girl is like me, and someone familiar disappears under this red light, why don't you and I go together to explore the whereabouts of your and my companions." Gu Xiao saw the woman's expression, which was unusual.
He thought about it for a while, then invited the woman to investigate together.
The woman did not speak, but nodded slightly, acquiescing to Gu Xiao's proposal.
"I'm from Xia Muyi. People from Liangzhou, how do you call a girl?" Gu Xiao saw the woman in white acquiescing and said to her.
"Jiang Ningxue." The woman in white said calmly.
"Miss Jiang, since this matter is closely related to Murong Gu, we naturally have to start the investigation from Murong Gu. What do you think?" Gu Xiao asked Jiang Ningxue for her opinion.
Jiang Ningxue nodded in agreement, but Lingzhou was not a place of influence for her sect, and she had no close contacts here. She fell silent for a moment, not knowing where to start to investigate.
Gu Xiao was also in a bit of trouble. It was easy to say, but where could he find out the whereabouts of Murong Gu? Just when he was in trouble, an idea flashed in Gu Xiao's mind. Brother Tianya once said, every few days around the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month,
The people from Murong Valley will appear outside the cities of the states in the northern border of Qiyun.
Counting the days, it was just the right time. In this case, it was better to wait and wait for the Murong Valley people to appear. However, the Murong Valley people were so elusive that even if they knew they were going to haunt Lingzhou, where would they go to find them?
Lin'er, Uncle Li, Brother Tianya, Sister Ye, Brother Xue, where are you? Gu Xiao shouted in his heart.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and Gu Xiao thought that that day in Yuelai Building, Brother Tianya had said that Murong Valley was in a deserted valley in Yanbei City. This Yanbei City was where Wan Jun led his army, and he wanted to find Murong.
Gu, Wan Jun still needs help in this matter.
After making up his mind, Gu Xiao said to Jiang Ningxue who was standing aside: "Miss Jiang, I have heard someone mention the general location of Murong Valley, but we still need someone to help us before we can make the trip."
Jiang Ningxue was equally anxious. It could be seen that the young man named Mu Yi was frowning and thinking, his eyes flickering, so he could only wait patiently. When he heard him speak, it seemed that he had already figured out a way. There was some warmth in his cold eyes, and he immediately asked
:"who?"
"I can't reveal his identity, but he should have returned to Lingzhou City by now. Let's go back to Lingzhou to seek his help."
Jiang Ningxue didn't know why she believed so much in the words of this young man whom she had only met once. Seeing that he was determined to speak, she blurted out: "Okay, it's up to you."
Having reached an agreement, the two men took up Qinggong and headed towards Lingzhou.
When she fought against the young boy at the beginning, Jiang Ningxue was astonished by the young man's skill. Judging from his clothes, he did not look like a boy from a famous family in the world, but the sword skills he displayed were extremely exquisite.
The ingenuity to snatch the Jinghong Sword from one's own hands is definitely not something that ordinary Jianghu people can do.
Now I was using Qinggong at the same time as him and I was even more shocked by his Qinggong. It seemed like I was just strolling around, but I had to use my full strength to catch up with his pace.
Whose disciple is this young man? Jiang Ningxue thought to herself as she kept looking at the young man's back as he walked.
Gu Xiao was thinking about the scarlet light that Jiang Ningxue mentioned just now. Now that the Mandarin Duck Pendant has lost its effectiveness, all he knows about the whereabouts of Lin'er and others is the clues that Jiang Ningxue mentioned.
Fortunately, he had made an agreement with General Wan to rush back to Lingzhou to rendezvous tonight. With his status, whether he was dispatching manpower to search for Murong Valley people in various cities or searching for Murong Valley near Yanbeicheng, he would not be able to get there quickly.
few.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao quickened his pace and rushed towards Lingzhou. Jiang Ningxue, who was following him, thought that the young man had used all his strength, but he didn't expect that his speed was a little faster, and the figure walking through the forest only
Seeing the afterimage, Gu Xiao's strong temper was aroused, and he used all his strength to chase after him.
——
The morning sun was rising, the night was still dark, and the bright moon was still there. In the middle of the moon, the Jade Rabbit was busy pounding medicine. Wan Jun raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already Mao hour, but the boy had not rushed back to Lingzhou yet, so he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Sir Wan, I have detained the bandit leader in the Protectorate Division and ordered people to keep him under strict supervision. No one is allowed to be interrogated privately without your Lordship's warrant."
After yesterday's fight, Yan Bin was also covered with injuries, but he still gritted his teeth and escorted the assassin whose hands were cut off by the young man back to Lingzhou, ordered him to take good care of him, and came to report to Wan Jun.
"You are also seriously injured. Go get treatment first. I have ordered Sicheng to ask for a doctor."
Wan Jun looked at this young man. Although he was the adopted son of Yan Ruohai, he did not have the aura of pampering from a famous family, and his eyes showed admiration. As if he thought of something, Wan Jun hesitated and said: "You have to be careful..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and then heard someone knocking on the door to report: "Sir, the city gate guard is here to report that the person you asked to wait for is here."
When Wan Jun heard that it was Gu Xiao who had returned, he looked back at Yan Bin who was full of doubts. He did not continue half of what he had just said, but changed the topic and said to the person reporting outside the door: "Go ahead and have a good life."
Welcome and bring them to me."
"Yes." The person outside the door responded and left.
"Commander Yan, you have worked hard all day. Go and heal your injuries first. I will take care of the affairs here by myself," Wan Jun ordered.
"Yes." Yan Bin muttered in his heart. Master Wan seemed to have something he wanted to say, but he was worried about it. Although he was doubtful, Yan Bin had been in the officialdom for a long time, so he naturally knew that there were certain things to say.
When they arrive, others will naturally say that if they are curious and inquire, they will get burned. They will immediately bow and retreat, and go to heal themselves. Let’s not talk about it for the time being.
About half an hour later, Wan Jun heard footsteps outside the house again. But as he opened the door, he saw Si Cheng leading Gu Xiao, and the Jianghu people he mentioned and the ten people he sent.
The rest were named Qiyun Shadow Guards, but none of them returned.
