"Brother Mu." His thoughts were interrupted by Gu Xiao's repeated calls, and Yan Qingchuan responded quickly.
Gu Xiao didn't understand why Brother Yan in front of him seemed to be a completely different person in just a few days, but now was not the time to dwell on this. Mr. Yun was captured by Na He Ji and was on his way to Yanbei City. He had to find a way to rescue him.
, so he temporarily suppressed his doubts and spoke.
"Brother Yan, what do you think we should do about Mr. Yun's disappearance?"
Only then did Yan Qingchuan come back to his senses and met the young man's sincere gaze. He looked at it for a moment, seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "Just follow Brother Mu's method. Let's escape first, and then go to Yanbei to rescue people."
"That's very good, then let's act according to the plan. I will untie the general's acupuncture points in a while, and we will use him as a hostage. When the medical officer prepares the dry food for the horse, we will take him and go north together." The young man's eyes flashed,
Tell Yan Qingchuan what you are thinking.
"Shall we coerce him and go north together?" Yan Qingchuan still looked worried.
Gu Xiao got up, walked down the hall, inquired outside the department, and then looked back and said: "Of course, if we don't take him as a hostage, even if we leave the city, the patrol will immediately start to pursue us and kill us on the spot.
Kill him and take him north, and the patrol will use the rat weapon. We will have no worries and can deal with the person who kidnapped Mr. Yun."
Yan Qingchuan turned his eyes to Gao Deng, who was still unconscious. He put on an ugly smile on his usually stern face and said to the young man: "What Brother Mu said is true. Since he is threatening General Gao to leave the city, shall we wake him up first?"
Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort for both of us to carry him out of the Sheriff's Office."
Gu Xiao was startled when he heard this, then laughed and said: "Haha, what Brother Yan said is absolutely true."
"Why are you... so persistent... willing to take risks to help Mr. Yun?" Yan Qingchuan watched the young man walking back from the hall to Gao Deng's side, reaching out to untie his acupoints, the smile on his face disappeared.
, ask questions.
Hearing this, Gu Xiao stopped the action of removing the acupuncture points with his hands, looked back slightly, and said with a frown: "I traveled north all the way, and all I saw were the people of Qiyun living in peace. I didn't expect that since I entered Yanbei, I have seen Yanbei.
The people in the north were harassed by bandits, and I didn’t expect that these bandits not only attacked the people, but also dared to attack the Yanbei army. If things go on like this and the foundation is shaken, our Qiyun border will not be protected..."
Yan Qingchuan was stunned. He didn't expect that a reckless boy could have such insight. He hesitated again in his eyes and asked, "Aren't you worried that it's too weak for you alone?"
"Brother Yan, what you said is wrong. There are loyal military generals like General Wan, Mr. Yun, a minister who cares about the people like Brother He Yan, and thousands of men from the Yanbei Army. How can I be the only one with the power?" the young man replied loudly.
road.
Yan Qingchuan was speechless and could only hide what was in his heart for a while. He watched the young man point out his words like lightning. Gordon gradually woke up from his coma, and the voice of the medical officer Old Chen also sounded outside the department.
"Little brother, the horse you want is ready."
——
Mo Shoumin hurriedly walked in Mo County, looking back from time to time and seeing no patrolling soldiers following him. He turned aside and got into a secluded alley. After crossing left and right, he walked quickly outside a courtyard.
And enter.
As soon as they entered the small courtyard, they saw a small figure emerging from the room.
"Uncle Mo, why did you just come back... Mr. Mu En and the others..."
Xiaodouzi heard the roar of soldiers and horses in Mo County, and thought that Mu Engong's rescue mission had been exposed. If Siwei Xiaoliu hadn't been blocking Xiaodouzi, the little girl would have been unable to restrain her eagerness and went to the county.
The Chief Supervisor investigated and saw Mo Shoumin returning alone. Xiaodouzi hurriedly went to inquire about the situation of Gu Xiao and others.
Mo Shoumin recalled the young man's instructions in the office. After comforting Xiaodouzi for a while, he hurriedly called Xiaoliu and told him to pick up the clothes and weapons left by Mu Yi and his two companions in the courtyard, quietly prepare dry food for the horses, and send them to him.
After going up the mountain, the people hid in the secret passage.
Xiao Liu hurriedly followed Mo Shoumin's instructions and left to prepare. Xiao Douzi heard this and quickly said: "Uncle Mo, please let Xiao Douzi do a bit to help our benefactor. Brother Six is a man with a thick heart. Those dry food and water,
Let me prepare it."
Mo Shoumin watched Xiaodouzi grow up and knew that this child had always been careful. After thinking about it briefly, he realized that what she said was true, so he agreed to Xiaodouzi's request. Just as he was about to continue giving instructions, he heard soldiers coming from the direction of the Sheriff.
Horse neighs and roars
As soon as he heard the sound, his face changed slightly.
"Uncle Mo, what's wrong? Didn't you say that Mu Engong is fine?" Xiaodouzi panicked when he heard the noise, and hurriedly grabbed the hem of Mo Shoumin's clothes and asked.
Mo Shoumin's heart tightened, but it didn't show on his face. He just comforted Xiaodouzi and said, "Don't worry, Brother Mu is very resourceful and everything will be fine. You and Xiaoliu go prepare the things quickly and send them to the back."
Shan, let me go and have a look."
Xiaodouzi had seen Mu Engong's skills, and his clear eyes were full of trust. After listening to Uncle Mo's comforting words, he calmed down, nodded heavily, didn't wait any longer, and walked away quickly with Xiaoliu and the others.
Seeing the two Xiaodouzi leave, Mo Shoumin felt relieved. He looked solemnly in the direction of the County Sheriff, thought for a moment, and left the small courtyard.
However, he did not rush directly to the Sheriff's Department, but stopped by Mo's house. Regardless of the doubtful looks of his family, he went straight to the study, took out the ancestral sword from the couch, hung it on his waist, and then looked for the sound of soldiers and horses.
Go in the direction.
The open space in front of the county guard's office was already filled with soldiers guarding the county. Under the leadership of the patrol generals, they surrounded the county guard's office. Looking from a distance, they could only see crowds of people, flags fluttering, and war horses neighing, eager to try.
The patrol sergeants who originally surrounded the gate of the county guard's department slowly retreated as a few people came out of the department, and gradually moved out of the way to make way for the few people who came out of the department.
Seeing a stranger appear, the war horses felt the murderous intention in the master next to them, raised their heads and raised their hooves, and became more and more restless.
The war horses are spiritual, but the soldiers can only suppress the anger in their hearts and watch helplessly as the young man dressed as a county guard holds a knife in one hand and puts it on the neck of his general, walking slowly. Although his face is covered with dirt,
There was no panic in those eyes, they just kept alert to the surroundings and carried General Gao with him.
The patrol soldiers couldn't help but calm the restless war horses around them. They all looked at the young man and the tiger-eyed young man behind him, waiting for the opportunity quietly. As long as the young man relaxed the steel knife in his hand a little, he would probably be chopped into pieces immediately.
The young man held the fat general in his arms and walked slowly among the heavy soldiers. After walking for about a few feet, the steel knife in his hand tightened. Gordon felt the sharp edge of the knife beside him and quickly stopped.
"Sir, where is the dry food for my good horse?" The young man said to the medical officer who was about ten feet in front of him, facing him, and slowly retreating as he moved forward.
Lao Chen ordered the affairs outside the department to be taken care of, and went back to the department to inform the young man who had kidnapped General Gao. He accompanied the young man and Yan Qingchuan out of the County Sheriff's Office, locking his eyes tightly with the young man's knife-wielding hand, hoping to take advantage of the young man's relaxation of vigilance.
, took action to rescue Gao Deng, but the young man's vigilance did not diminish at all, and the steel knife in his hand was firmly placed on General Gao's neck. Hearing the young man ask questions, he hurriedly replied.
"Young man, please be patient. The sword in your hand must be held securely. Don't hurt my general."
There was a smile in his eyes, and the young man was not afraid at all: "Sir, don't change the subject. I just want to ask where the good horse's dry food is."
"War horses know their masters, but you can't control them. I have sent people to find a few good horses in Mo County, but those horses have never seen such a military formation. I was worried that the horses would be frightened, so I sent people to prepare for the battle.
Outside..." Old Chen said soothingly, fearing that the knife in the young man's hand might give birth to Gordon.
But as soon as he said the words, he saw General Gao's brows frowning slightly, and his small eyes seemed to be looking at him with a different meaning. When Lao Chen entered the county guard's office again to deal with the young man, he saw General Gao wake up and wanted to speak to him, but the young man stopped him.
At that time, he kept looking at himself, but he didn't understand what he meant.
Of course, Gu Xiao guessed what Gao Deng meant. The moment the medical officer opened his mouth, he held Gao Deng in his arms to prevent him from making any more gestures with his eyes. At the same time, he pointed his sword finger at Gao Deng's mute point to prevent him from speaking.
Gu Xiao's move was not because he was worried that Gao Deng would tell the medical officer about his rescue of Yang Hucheng. It had been a long time since Miss Jiang took Yang Hucheng and others to the County Sheriff's Secret Road. Miss Jiang and others had already arrived at the back mountain. As long as the head of the Mo family
According to his own plan, he sent dry food to the horses. They were now on the road to Yanbei City. All he had to do now was to take Gao Deng and help Brother Yan out of trouble.
After hearing what the medical officer said, Gu Xiao had already seen through his plan to slow down the troops, but he was not worried. He gathered his thoughts and said: "In Mo County, there are so many soldiers surrounding us. If we move so slowly, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait till tomorrow."
Order these soldiers to disperse and let Brother Yan and I go."
Old Chen naturally refused, narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "You said you had to bring Commander Yan into the company before you were willing to let him go. I allowed you, and you said you would prepare dry food for the horses, and you also agreed. Now again
I have changed my mind, and even if I agree, I am afraid that these patrol soldiers will not agree again."
The medical officer spoke in a low voice, but the soldiers who were nearby could hear him clearly. The soldiers who could hardly conceal their anger took a step forward.
The young man didn't say a word, but just suppressed his smile. He held the steel knife tightly in his hand, and the blade immediately broke a little flesh. The blood in Gordon's neck immediately slid slowly along the blade. The young man's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his starry eyes glanced at the approaching soldiers around him.
I don't know whether it was because of the general holding a knife against him or the young man's fearless gaze. The soldiers paused for a moment, but the soldiers closest to him could already feel the terrifying aura emanating from the young man...
For a moment, the field fell into a confrontation. Unbeknownst to the young man, hidden behind the crowd of people, several military archers had already drawn their bows and nocked arrows. The arrows were pointed directly at the back of their hearts. Several generals beside them lowered their voices.
He asked eagerly: "How, can I be sure of killing him with one blow?"
Several archers had nervous expressions on their faces, and sweat had already covered their foreheads. One of the archers looked to be in his forties. None of the soldiers in the army knew why he was still just a little archer at such an age. They only knew that if he took action, the arrow would
No one can escape.
Hearing this, he opened his mouth to ask a question. The archer lowered the bow in his hand slightly, and motioned to the people around him to lower their bows and arrows. He looked sideways and respectfully said, "General, if you want to hit the target, it shouldn't be difficult, but you have to kill him with one blow.
But it’s impossible.”
"Why? You're not even sure?" the general said anxiously.
The old archer shook his head and said: "This thieves is not weak in martial arts. You see, even though his back is to us, his steps when he takes the general are not messy at all. There is a hidden principle of Qinggong in it. I will definitely hit the target with my arrow."
, but the sound of the arrow piercing the air will definitely arouse his vigilance. If he avoids the vital point, he will be angered. At that time, both the jade and the stone will be destroyed, and it will be our general who will suffer the loss."
When the generals heard this, they frowned and discussed.
"What can we do?"
"How about giving it a try..."
"No, General Gao is still in his hands, so he can't take risks..."
When the generals were without a master, they heard someone behind them speak.
"Get out of my way, everyone."
This angry shout not only caused all the soldiers to look back, but also the young man trapped inside and the medical officer Lao Chen, who also looked for fame.
The person who spoke was none other than Xu An. He was seen pulling the reins in his hands and driving his horse slowly. The soldiers around him, all aware of the upright general's temperament, did not dare to stop him and moved out of the way.
In front of the young man, Xu An turned over and dismounted, looked into General Gao's eyes, and seemed to see Gao Deng's intention, and then said to Lao Chen: "According to this young man's wishes, everyone will get out of the way."
