If it weren't for Sergeant Yanbei leading the way, Gu Xiao might have jumped off his horse and chased away. However, he still forced himself to calm down and not to scare the snake.
The subtle change in Gu Xiao's expression may not be hidden from the Yanbei Army leader leading the way, but it cannot be hidden from Murong Wu behind him. Although they have known each other for a short time, whether it is his calmness when fighting with his senior brother in the forest, or his sneaking into
The guards held the Fu brothers' composure, and the young men never panicked.
But just now, Murong Wu clearly felt that the young man's breathing was a little faster. After he took a deep breath, it gradually calmed down. Out of curiosity, she followed the young man's gaze to the street.
Under the closure of the city, the people stayed behind closed doors. Only those who were eager to make a living would go out on the streets. There were not many people walking on the streets, but wherever Murong Wu looked, they were all ordinary, and she really couldn't tell.
What caused the young man in front of him to have mood swings.
Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard the young man in front of him speak to him in a lowered voice.
"I want to ask you a favor, girl."
Both of them were wearing scarves to cover their faces. Murong's charming eyes turned around and he chuckled: "Young master, there is still a time when you can beg the slave family, tell me."
"Did you see the man turning the corner of the street into an alley? I want to ask the girl for help to follow that man and see where he settled in the city."
Gu Xiao slowed down and sat down on the horse to move forward, his eyes locked on He Ji's back. Although he deliberately hunched his body, Gu Xiao was very sure that that person was He Ji.
Murong Wu followed the young man's eyes and glanced at the film on his back. There was a bit of cunning in his eyes, and he raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "The agreement between the slave family and the young master is to take the young master into the valley, but not to help the young master follow him."
One thing, let’s talk about it. The master is guarding the slave family just like he is guarding against thieves. If the slave family keeps a close eye on him, the master can rest assured."
The young man frowned slightly and met Murong Wu's gaze. Seeing that the girl's eyes seemed to be dissatisfied, he immediately understood that the girl was still brooding about the incident in the patrolling army. He immediately relaxed his brows and smiled at the corners of his lips: "Don't you want to, girl?"
Do you know how I persuaded General Fury in the camp of the garrison commander?"
Murong's charming eyes were slightly bright: "Oh? I think the master has already forgotten about it."
The young man saw that He Ji's figure had turned into an alley at the corner of the street. Although he knew that he might be in this alley, Yanbei City is so big and the alleys in the city are interconnected. Once lost, it may be difficult to find him.
.
The corps commander in front of him said that he was accompanying him to Beicheng, but in reality he was monitoring him. Only by letting Murong Wu catch up with He Ji quietly could he not arouse the corps commander's suspicion. Thinking of this place, his mind
He moved slightly and thought to himself: "I can't tell her about the defense map. I have to think of a way to make her less suspicious."
"Yes." Gu Xiao remembered Mr. Yun's whereabouts and had an idea, so he spoke to Murong Wu.
"Miss Murong, I was actually secretly helping the court to investigate the bandit case in Yanbei. However, something happened when I was in Mo County. A young man who was traveling with me was kidnapped by the bandits, so I pursued him all the way. This morning I
What was informed in the Fu brothers' account was the identity of the young master's imperial envoy."
There was some doubt in Murong Wu's eyes, and she stared at the young man. If the young man was from the imperial court, his purpose of finding Murong Gu was not simple. He immediately asked: "Are you from the imperial court?"
"No, it's just that we saw bandits attacking in Mo County.
I disturbed the people, so I came to my aid and got acquainted with the imperial envoy." Gu Xiao answered truthfully.
Murong Wu saw that what the young man said did not seem to be a lie, but she was still worried. She turned her charming eyes and asked with a smile: "We met by chance, so I asked you to risk your life to help me. I want to see the imperial envoy that you mentioned, who is he?"
Grace."
Hearing that Murong Wu was interested in Mr. Yun, Gu Xiao's eyes flashed with scheming, and then he said, "Miss, really want to see that imperial envoy?"
"What's the matter? Is the young master afraid that if the slave family meets someone better than the young master, he will be in trouble?" Murong Wu showed her charm again and was full of coquettishness when she spoke.
Gu Xiao had already resisted Murong Wu's charming skills and did not buy it. He just turned his eyes to the back of the alley and said softly: "Girl, if you catch up with the one-armed man, you can find his whereabouts."
Wherever you are, we can find the imperial envoy you want to see."
Murong Wu was suddenly enlightened, covered her lips with a smile and said: "After such a long journey, it turns out that the young master still let the slave family keep track of him. That's all. Who told the slave family to admire the young master? But admiration is admiration, and the slave family can't work in vain."
Gu Xiao went around this circle because of Murong Wu's words, and immediately said: "What are the conditions for you, girl? As long as it does not harm the laws of nature and violates the moral principles of the world, I will never refuse."
Murong Wu smiled sweetly. Although she was wearing a hijab and could not see her expression, she could tell from her tone that she had agreed to follow Gu Xiao: "As for the terms, I haven't decided on the terms yet. Remember it first and wait for the day."
The slave family has thought about it, and it won’t be too late to talk to Young Master.”
"Okay, it's settled." Seeing He Ji turning into the alley, he looked at
Xiao quickly responded.
The eagerness in the young man's eyes all fell into Murong Wu's eyes. He looked at the corps commander who was leading the way and was looking back at the two of them secretly. Murong Wu looked at the young man and said softly: "I'll leave that man in front to you.
, I found where that person stayed, am I going to save him?"
"Girl, you just need to find out where that person is staying. Don't act rashly. We will meet up in Beicheng then." Gu Xiao remembered the martial arts of the masked man and was worried that Murong Wu would not be able to defeat him, so he hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
The worried look in the young man's eyes fell into Murong Wu's eyes. She just thought that the young man was worried about her, and she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart. She handed the reins to the young man's hands and spoke softly, without the previous frivolous words.
"Young master, please rest assured. Although the slave family is new to the world, the slave family's abilities cannot be said to be unique in the world. However, it is not that simple to kill the slave family at will."
Gu Xiao was still uneasy, worried that once Murong Wu was exposed, it would be difficult to find He Ji again. When he took the reins, he warned: "Girl, please remember, if the one-armed man is walking with someone with a vertical upright covering his face, he will
Don’t fight with him and leave immediately.”
Murong Wu's heart skipped a beat when she heard the young man's concerned tone. She didn't know what was wrong with her, so she had to lower her tone and pretended to be impatient: "It's so long-winded. The slave family knows about it. Young master, just don't worry."
As he spoke, he got off his horse and looked at the figure turning into the alley...
The captain who was leading the way had already understood the implication of his general's intention to accompany the young man from Yu Lie's previous words. He led the two of them to the North City and secretly watched every move.
.
But just now I saw the behavior of these two people, especially the petite general. He didn't look like a soldier in the army. He was squirming and smiling with his lips covered, more like a girl. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart... Yanbei Army
There are also people that Long Yang likes among them. Every time he thinks about this, the captain feels like the hairs all over his body stand on end and he feels like vomiting.
When he looked back, he saw that on the horseback behind him, the previously naughty general had disappeared. He quickly reined in his horse and looked back, walked to the side of the other general, and asked: "Sir, may I ask where the person who was walking with me just now went?
Where?"
Pulling the reins and reining in the horse, Gu Xiao raised his eyes and replied: "My lord, please forgive me, this Yanbei City is a big border city. Compared with my hometown, there are many new things that I have never seen before, so he wants to buy it."
Some rare items returned to my hometown."
"This... I have been ordered to take you two to Beicheng to find an inn to stay. If my general knows that I have violated military orders, I will not be able to bear such a punishment." The corps commander has obviously already said that.
Panicked, he hurriedly spoke.
How could Gu Xiao not check the captain's thoughts? He immediately took out the silver ingot from his arms and stuffed it into the captain's hand. He laughed softly: "There is no one else here. As long as you don't tell me, who will know? Besides, you are taking me along with you."
Going to Beicheng, I am very grateful for all the hard work, and I hope you will not refuse me for your kindness."
After getting the money, and what the young man said was true, he was just a minor official in the army. It would not be worthwhile if he offended the guests for such a trivial matter, but his general's order had to be... He rolled his eyes and stuffed the money into his arms.
In the middle, pile up smiling faces.
"What the distinguished guest said is true. After finally arriving at Yanbei City, we have to
Bringing some specialties to your home... By the way, distinguished guest, our deer antlers and antiques from Yanbei are the best. How about I accompany your distinguished guest to buy some, and when your guest and his entourage return, we can go to the north together.
How is the city?"
Gu Xiao looked at the smiling team leader and thought to himself: "This man is very tactful. He has accepted the money but still refuses to give up. It seems that he can only deal with him for a while. It just so happens that he can wait for Miss Murong here."
, in case she discovers the whereabouts of Na He Ji, it’s better to make plans in advance.”
After making up his mind, he raised his eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, sir."
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way. Your distinguished guest, go this way." The captain said, he got off his horse, took the initiative to hold the reins of Gu Xiao's horse, and led the way...
Murong Wu ducked to the side of the road and saw what Gu Xiao and the team leader were doing. She knew that the team leader was suspicious and refused to leave without seeing her. She immediately ducked into the tailor shop on the street, regardless of the boss's doubts.
Eyes, pulling off women's clothing...
Not long after, a graceful woman came out of the tailor shop, leaving only the owner of the shop, dumbfounded, standing in front of the counter.
He ducked into a side alley and saw the person the young man had told him to follow turning into the end of the alley. He quickly gathered his energy and hurried forward.
Although there are many people in Yanbei City, after all, the city is closed, and there are not many pedestrians in the alleys. Murong Wu followed the one-armed man not far away, turned left and right and passed through several alleys. Only two people were left. The one-armed man in front of him
The man seemed unaware of the fact that he was secretly watching, and just walked forward without looking back once.
"What are you talking about? There is a master. I see that this person is obviously an idiot.
Already." Murong Wu followed him, feeling a little less vigilant.
Just when she was distracted for a moment, when she looked up again, there was no trace of the man in front of her. Murong Wu hurriedly looked up and looked for it, only to see another corner at the end of the alley. She hurriedly wanted to catch up, but she could walk more than ten feet away.
, but he remembered the young man’s warning before they left. He moved his charming eyes slightly, slowed down his steps, and pretended to be as if nothing had happened. He walked past the end of the alley, and when he reached the end of the alley for a moment, he saw a figure suddenly flashing out...
"ah--"
Murong Wu "panicked" and fell down in the alley. Her new clothes were covered with melted snow and mud. In her charming eyes, she could no longer suppress the look of panic and looked to her side.
The figure that flashed out from the alley stood with one palm standing, a pair of eagle eyes full of vigilance, locked on Murong Wu, looking at the "terrified" soft and charming woman with murderous intent, it was He Ji.
"Who asked you to follow me? If you don't answer honestly, don't blame me for being ruthless." He Ji's palms were already full of true energy. If the woman in front of him answered even half of a sentence wrong, he might be killed on the spot.
"Slave... I want to go home. You... who are you? The slave family has no money to give you..." Murong Wu's eyes were full of "panic" and she spoke tremblingly.
