Gu Xiao finally fully grasped the toxicity of this "Ruanjin Powder". Not only could he use his energy to resist it, but he could also suppress the effect of the medicine from two hours to one hour.
His complexion has improved a little to the naked eye. Gu Xiaoyun Gong has suppressed the poison. For him, he has already had the power to escape. He just wants to find out what is the secret behind Yan Qingchuan's defection and that picture, so he continues to pretend to be limp.
He looked poisoned and stayed in the carriage all the time.
It is precisely because of Gu Xiao's helpless appearance these days that the patrol soldiers guarding the carriage have also relaxed their vigilance. From time to time, they opened the carriage curtain to check, and now as long as Gu Xiao takes Ruanjinsan on time,
Within two hours, I would not come to investigate again, otherwise Xiaodouzi would not have been able to get into the carriage so easily before.
In this way, this free hour became the best opportunity for Gu Xiao to make inquiries. However, against all odds, Gu Xiao did not expect that the patrol troops would be refused entry into Yanbei City. Cars kept coming from outside the carriage.
The sound of the soldiers on guard outside talking.
"I heard that we retreated thirty miles to camp. It was General Shan who ordered someone to pass on the order."
"Isn't this obvious? General Wan was escorted to Beijing. Not to mention the Northern Jin Dynasty, but only to talk about the current Yanbei camp. Shan Bin is the highest-ranking general in the Yanbei army. The only one who can make our patrol troops withdraw from Yanbei City is him.
, who else could it be?"
"I heard that Commander Yan, who came from the capital, went to Yanbei City in person with Shang Fang's sword..."
"I can't remember without mentioning Commander Yan. The man in the carriage behind us seems to have some friendship with Commander Yan. I don't know why..."
"Shh, don't forget our general's order. Don't mention Mojun's affairs without permission. Your tongue is a small thing, but your life is a big deal..."
"Yes, yes, brother reminds me..."
Gu Xiao was practicing his skills in the carriage and overheard the conversation between the two of them. He frowned. He originally wanted to fulfill General Wan's entrustment when he was in Lingzhou, but he didn't expect to fall into it and find it difficult to escape. Fortunately, he did not let down General Wan's entrustment.
Having secured Brother Yang and the defensive plan, only Young Master Yun and Mo Sicheng are still missing.
My own plan to use the patrol to enter the city failed when General Shan refused to enter the city. It seemed that it would be better to escape first, try to enter Yanbei City to meet up with Miss Jiang and the others, and then make plans.
As soon as his mind moved, Gu Xiao thought that he would not delay any longer. The guard was not strict at this time, so it was a good time to escape. He quietly approached the car window for a few minutes, and when he wanted to lift the curtain to investigate, he heard something urgent again.
The sound of footsteps came.
Gu Xiao hurriedly removed his hand and used the internal power of Ruanjin San to resist. His face turned pale and poisoned again, and he collapsed in the carriage.
"Ugh!"
The curtain was suddenly opened, and a captain outside the carriage looked inside the carriage. When he saw the pale face of the young man in the carriage still slumped in the carriage, he lowered the curtain and spoke to the two guards.
"You two, don't just talk. This boy is someone the general personally ordered to be under strict supervision. If we let him go, our entire battalion will be punished."
"Don't worry, sir. The two of us will strictly guard the carriage and we will not let him escape."
"That's very good. Not long after Commander Yan returned, military orders came from Yanbei City. The general ordered all generals to go outside the general's camp to listen to orders. I'm going to go outside the tent to listen to orders. You two must not slack off."
"My lord, go ahead and leave this place to us."
Gu Xiao, who was in the carriage, heard that the captain had gone away. He was thankful that he had not taken action yet, otherwise he would have been discovered by the alert captain before he could escape. It seemed that he needed to find a substitute if he wanted to leave.
While Gu Xiao was thinking hard, he vaguely heard the two soldiers outside the carriage having a conversation again. He was busy using his internal strength to suppress the poison of "Ruanjin Powder" in order to find some clues.
"Our boss is too cautious. This kid was poisoned by Dr. Chen. If he could have escaped, he would have escaped long ago. Why wait until now?"
"That's true, but we'd better be more cautious."
"Don't worry, even if that kid has the strength to escape, he will never escape from our patrol."
After hearing these useless words from these two people, Gu Xiao knew that there would be no clues if he continued to listen. The alert captain just now had gone to the patrol camp, so he might as well take this opportunity to go to the camp and eavesdrop.
Maybe something can be gained, but
These two guards are really troublesome.
Just when Gu Xiao was distressed, someone from the army seemed to be walking quickly. The sound of the guard outside the carriage drawing his sword and yelling came into the carriage: "Who is it!"
The moment the person spoke, Gu Xiao's frown instantly relaxed. Not only was the voice familiar, but the smell was also very familiar to Gu Xiao.
Before anyone arrived, the smell spread first, and the choking smell of tobacco pipes was very pungent.
"Brothers, don't panic. We are captains under General Sun in Yanbei City. My general is leafleting the general's military orders in the camp and ordered me and the two of us to do an inventory first among the patrol..." The person came holding a cigarette bag and hanging it.
The smile was probably because he was holding a cigarette pouch in his hand. Even though he was dressed like a school captain, he felt awkward no matter how he looked at it.
"Humph, your general has such great official power. Our patrol troops are in danger. His old man is sitting in Yanbei City and he still won't let..." One of the two soldiers guarding the carriage seemed to refuse Shan Bin's patrol.
He was worried about the army entering the city, so he spoke angrily. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by someone beside him.
The other patrol sergeant who was responsible for guarding the carriage was obviously much more tactful. He knew that Shan Bin was now the highest-ranking general in Yanbei. If he offended him, the two of them would be in trouble.
After the disaster, the brothers broke off their words and settled matters.
"Sir, please don't listen to his nonsense. We brothers have great respect for General Shan. If you two want to count the weapons or rosters, you still need the order of my General Gao."
The visitors were none other than Yandian Guo and Jiang Ningxue. They came all the way with General Sun Pian to deliver the order. When they arrived to patrol the garrison, it was already late at night. They were carrying Yanbei Army face towels and had not yet entered the general's tent.
Gordon and others in the tent did not notice it.
On the way here, General Sun Pian had already helped Jiang Ningxue and the others figure out how to inspect the patrolling military camp. It was a routine matter to pass orders and to inspect the ordnance and soldier rosters in accordance with military regulations. Even if Shan Bin knew about it, he would not
He would only praise himself for his carefulness, and since Gordon had obeyed the order and retreated thirty miles, he naturally would not resist the investigation.
As expected, Gao Deng still looked like the fawning idiot he had been before. When he met General Sun and held a military banquet, he readily accepted General Sun's request to inspect the ordnance. He didn't even think of sending someone to accompany him for inspection, and said that General Sun could inspect it as he pleased.
General Sun Pian stayed in the tent to attend the banquet, and sent the accompanying captain to conduct an inspection first, and then conduct an inspection after the military banquet. In this way, Jiang Ningxue and the two men swaggered around to inspect the patrol.
After probing around, I finally saw a clue in front of the carriage.
After hearing the soldiers' words to smooth things over, Yandianguo put on his official airs, took out Gordon's warrant, and asked the two of them: "Official prestige? I think it's you who enhances the general's official prestige. Riding skills
But military generals are not good at all, and your general has just adjusted his carriage."
When the impulsive guard heard this, he was about to explode, but he was stopped by the smooth soldier beside him. He looked at his general's order, smiled at the pipe pot and said: "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood our general. This carriage is not for our general."
take."
Hearing the two soldiers talking about carriages and hesitating in their words, Yandianguo and Yandianguo were immediately happy. They were patrolling the military camp and would definitely not imprison prisoners in the soldiers' tents. They did not see any prison carriages along the way.
, if Mu Yi was really captured by mistake, this carriage must be the place where he was imprisoned. His mind changed quickly and he opened his mouth to test.
"Oh? It's not your general's ride. Could it be that General Gao violated military regulations and couldn't invite a beautiful woman to accompany him?"
This statement was truly rude, and the tactful soldiers were also furious. They wanted to refute it, but then they thought of what their own general had done. The name of "General Fool" had already spread throughout Yanbei, so he had to suppress his anger and speak.
"My lord, I really misunderstood. When our patrol was in Mo County, we were attacked by bandits. My general used a trick to capture a young bandit leader. However, my general was kind-hearted and did not want to torture him in a prison car, so... he used
This carriage was used as a prison carriage. I originally planned to enter Yanbei City and interrogate the bandit leader..."
As Soldier Smooth said, he saw the captain holding a pipe beside him. The captain, who had never spoken, slightly raised his head and looked directly at the carriage. Although his eyes were cold, there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes. Colonel Smooth didn't know why, so he just said:
The two Yanbei military lieutenants didn't believe it. They were eager to clear Gordon's name and continued to explain.
"Speaking of this young bandit leader, he is very skilled in martial arts. It took a lot of effort for our General Gao to capture him.
.." But before he finished speaking, he saw that Lieutenant Yanbei Military Academy, who had not spoken yet, was already walking towards the carriage.
The two of them were frightened and hurriedly stopped in front of the carriage and tried to dissuade him: "Sir, please stop. This bandit leader is very vicious. I hope you will be careful."
When Jiang Ningxue heard the words of the soldier Shicai, she couldn't help but think that Mu Yi had probably suffered a lot of physical pain during those days when he was captured. How could she hear the dissuasive words of the guard soldiers in such a desperate situation? She raised her arms slightly,
He pushed away the guard's arm that was blocking him.
These two guardsmen can be considered the elite of the patrol. I didn't expect that the thin and thin Yanbei Military Colonel would be so powerful. He just raised his arms slightly and knocked them back several steps. They were thrown straight to the ground.
They stood on their backs, and when the two of them finally climbed out of the slightly melted snow, they saw that Lieutenant Yanbei Military Academy had already approached the carriage and reached out to lift the curtain.
The two of them couldn't help but get furious, and when they wanted to call other patrols to ask for an explanation, they were helped up by the captain who was holding a pipe in his hand and smiling.
"You two, please forgive me, brother. He has always been cautious. We will go to General Gao for verification of what you two said, but please be considerate. We are also ordered to patrol..." Captain Yandai said
Then he fumbled with his hands from his waist and took out two ingots of silver and put them into the hands of the guards.
After receiving the money, the expressions of the two guardsmen relaxed a lot. Even though they were unhappy, they then thought that the two Yanbei captains had higher official positions than themselves, and they were ordered to patrol. Even if they caused trouble to General Gao, their general might be Gu Quan.
In order to save the general's face and punish the two of them, it is better to accept the money and settle the matter.
Looking at each other, they both saw this meaning in each other's eyes, and they both stuffed the silver into their arms.
Seeing that the guard had accepted the money, Yandianguo was secretly happy and continued to speak: "That's it. Thank you two brothers. I'll finish the inspection and report it to General Minggao. I won't let you be responsible for any oversight."
Responsibilities."
Through the smiling face of the captain with a cigarette bag in front of them, the two of them saw that the car curtain not far away had been opened. They couldn't stop it even if they wanted to, so they had to be polite and said: "You adults can do as you please."
The moment the car curtain was opened, Gu Xiao recognized Miss Jiang just from her pair of autumn eyes that seemed to be condensed and somewhat cold.
The young man was overjoyed to meet old friends.
But what Jiang Ningxue saw in her eyes was a different scene. Although the carriage was decorated with brocade, which was much better than the prison carriage, the high-spirited, handsome young martial artist from before was already pale and starry-eyed.
His eyes were dim, his thin lips were slightly blue and bloodless, and his upright figure was now slumped in the carriage, as if he were an elderly man.
Under Yan Beijun's scarf, Jiang Ningxue's extremely beautiful face was about to turn into frost. If she had Jinghong in her hand, she would immediately unsheath her. Just as she was about to have an attack, she saw the young man sitting up silently, the sword under his eyebrows
Xingmu regained his luster and made a silent gesture towards himself...
