While he was listening attentively to the movement outside the wall, he suddenly felt someone quietly approaching from within the wall of the courtyard below him. Gu Xiao immediately secretly summoned his true energy to be on guard. Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching him for a moment, his internal energy burst out from his palms. He tapped the wall and cast
The clouds turned over and fell.
Before the person arrived, his palm came out first, and the palm that contained the power of the robot swept away, approaching the owner of the footsteps behind him... But when Gu Xiao saw the footsteps clearly, he was immediately surprised.
Just because what was reflected in Gu Xiao's eyes was the figure of a small child with particularly clear eyes, looking at him with joy at this moment.
"Mu En..." When the owner of the eyes saw Gu Xiao's face, he could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and shouted softly.
Withdrawing her palms and withdrawing her moves, she turned over and jumped away. The moment she spoke, Gu Xiao's figure flashed and came to her side. Worried that her voice would attract the attention of the killer outside the wall, he covered the little child's mouth and hurriedly
Making a silent gesture.
The child was smart and knew what Xiao was saying without having to say anything. He kept silent, but suddenly flashed his eyes and looked at the handsome face of his benefactor in front of him.
Fortunately, Gu Xiao covered the child's mouth in time, and no one outside the wall noticed. They just quietly retreated after laying out the plan.
Hearing that there was no movement outside the wall, Gu Xiao did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he jumped up to the top of the wall and looked out. When he saw that no one was there, he turned over and went to the child. Before he could speak, the child handed him over.
The questioning gaze seems to be asking whether the person outside the wall has retreated.
"Don't worry, they are all gone." Gu Xiao said softly to the children.
Xiaodouzi was filled with joy to see her benefactor again. The quarrel just now came from her and Siwei Xiaoliu. To outsiders, it sounded like
The argument was actually that the two listened to Gu Xiao's words and went into the city to wait. However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no news about Gu Xiao. Xiao Douzi didn't want to wait any longer, so she wanted to beg Xiao Liu to try to take her out of the city.
Xiaoliu knew that his benefactor was highly skilled in martial arts and resourceful, and he was worried that once he and Xiaodouzi left the city, they would be a burden to his benefactor, so he persuaded him. However, after his benefactor Mo Jun was captured, and he had been waiting in the city for a long time, he persuaded him.
The child's temper arose and he insisted on going, so he made a fuss about Xiao Liu leaving the city.
Seeing that Gu Xiao was safe and sound, Xiaodouzi's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally fell, and tears appeared in her eyes: "My dear friend, you are finally here...those people outside the wall..."
Gu Xiao was thinking about finding He Ji's whereabouts. He didn't have time to explain the reason to Xiaodouzi. He picked up Xiaodouzi and took Xiaoliu to the side. He said in a low voice: "It's too complicated, and there are too many things that can't be done in time."
, you take Xiaodouzi and leave Yunlai Inn quickly... go to Yunxiang Pavilion to stay first."
"But... this Yunlai Inn is the property of the Mo family. Why do we go to Yunxiang Pavilion instead of being close by?" Xiaoliu asked in confusion. Xiaoliu and Xiaodouzi had no internal strength to stay with them. The conversation between the two outside the wall just now started.
People didn't hear clearly, so they spoke in confusion.
Gu Xiao didn't want the two of them to be involved in such a huge conspiracy, and he didn't want the two of them to die innocently because of it. His mind moved a little, and he immediately said: "I have arranged a sex room in Yunxiang Pavilion, so I want to..."
"Xiaodouzi knows. My benefactor wants me and my sixth brother to live closer. My benefactor can move to Yunlai Inn. This is the property of the Mo family. The food and accommodation are much better than Yunxiang Pavilion. Besides, my benefactor
You are also my benefactor from Mojun.
.." Xiaodouzi didn't know why, but instead invited Gu Xiao to come to the inn.
Siwei Xiaoliu, on the other hand, saw the worry in his benefactor's eyes. Although he didn't know what was going on, after what happened in Mo County, he had no doubts about Gu Xiao. He immediately said to Xiaodouzi in Gu Xiao's arms: "What my benefactor said, there must be something wrong."
Let’s just listen to his benefactor. It doesn’t matter where you and I live.”
Xiaodouzi thought for a moment, looked at his benefactor and Xiao Liuzi, and immediately said: "Then I will listen to my benefactor... By the way, the belongings that my benefactor left behind in Mo County are now between me and Liu Zi.
It's in my brother's room, I'll go get it."
After saying that, he struggled to jump out of Gu Xiao's arms, and was about to turn around and come to the inn to get it. However, Gu Xiao was thinking about the ambush on the day when the killer outside the alley mentioned military regulations, and he already had a plan in his mind.
This is an opportunity to check out Yunlai Inn first, so that it will be easier for you to travel that day.
After thinking about this, Gu Xiao stopped Xiaodouzi and said, "Wait a minute, can you take me with you?"
Xiaodouzi naturally would not refuse, and immediately led the way into the Yunlai Inn from the back hall.
After entering the inn, Gu Xiao realized why Xiaodouzi had previously said that Yunlai Inn had better food and accommodation than Yunxiang Pavilion. Not to mention the luxurious decorations in the inn, and the people who served were all dressed in brocade clothes.
It's an inn, but it's more like a dreamy place in ancient poetry.
Although the city of Yanbei has been closed now, and Shan Bin has ordered to stay at the Yunlai Inn for the Yanbei army, there are no customers in the inn, but the people in the inn are still going back and forth and are busy.
Xiaodouzi knew Gu Xiao’s character very well, so he led Gu Xiao to avoid everyone, and explained in a low voice: “My benefactor, I’m so grateful.
Uncle Yun came to the inn, but he paid great attention to the guests. Even though the city was currently closed, many wealthy families did not go out, but they sent idle people to come and ask for guests. No, the inn was extremely busy, let alone
General Shan has booked an inn to march, so it's so busy."
Gu Xiao glanced at the busy figure, but in fact he remembered every place in Yunlai Inn, especially the busy front courtyard layout.
Following Xiaodouzi up to the third floor, they reached the most quiet room. Xiaodouzi opened the door and led Gu Xiao in. He hurriedly got into the room, opened the wooden cabinet next to the couch, looked back and smiled at Gu Xiao.
"Don't worry, my dear friend, your belongings are all here. I saw that there are many valuable things, and I was worried that others would have evil intentions when they saw them. I did all the cleaning and stacking by myself, and there would never be any second thoughts.
People see it.”
Gu Xiao closed the door. Seeing that Xiaodouzi was so attentive, he felt grateful. He stroked Xiaodouzi's slightly cold face and said apologetically: "Sorry for bothering you."
Feeling the warmth of his benefactor's palm, Xiaodouzi raised his little face, with a little anger in his eyes, and pouted and said seriously: "Compared with my benefactor saving Xiaodouzi and saving Quan Mojun's life, why bother?"
First of all, if my benefactor continues to say such disrespectful things, he will be looking down on us from Mo County."
Obviously, he didn't expect Xiaodouzi to be so serious. Gu Xiao put on a smile, scratched his head and said, "Okay, okay, it was my fault. There will be no next time."
Hearing Gu Xiao's answer, Xiaodouzi smiled again, took Gu Xiao's hand and leaned over to look at the items in the cabinet.
Looking at the familiar Broken Moon Sword Box, Gu Xiao stretched out his hand to caress it and murmured: "Old friend, I haven't seen you for a few days."
look
Move slightly, hanging on the sword box is a small package, the Heaven-shaking Qilin Seal, the golden medal arrow, the Yingli post... and even the banknotes that Liuzhuang took from Guanshi Hu when he was pretending to be Quan Tuoguang that day.
There was a lot of money, and they were all lying quietly in the package.
Even his green shirt was cleaned and neatly stacked aside. The damaged parts in Algo Valley and Mo County were also carefully sewn... He felt warm in his heart and stroked Xiaodouzi's head again.
, said worriedly: "Remember, after I leave later, you and Brother Xiao Liu will go to Tianxiang Pavilion. If you don't see me, don't go out."
Although he didn't know the power of it, looking at his benefactor's serious look, Xiaodouzi said sensibly: "Don't worry, my benefactor, Brother Xiaoliu and I will set off immediately. We will never leave the Tianxiang Pavilion without seeing our benefactor."
Feeling relieved, Gu Xiao took a green shirt and put it on, put his belongings into his arms, picked up the Broken Moon Sword Box, and rushed to the alleyway to meet up with Miss Jiang and others.
He walked to the window and was about to jump down when he heard an angry voice coming from the Yunlai Inn: "Luxury has become the norm, what kind of behavior is this? Shan Bin is quite bold. If General Wan is still there, he will not be spared."
This voice was familiar to Gu Xiao. They had just parted ways in the morning, but he didn't want to meet again at Yunlai Inn. He closed the window and walked to the door, opened the door and looked down.
In the vestibule, two generals have similar faces. They are wearing armor and have a tiger's back and waist. The former one, with short beard and leopard eyes, is standing in the vestibule, angrily scolding the soldiers behind him. The other general, with long beard, has a calm expression, frowns and keeps silent.
As if deep in thought.
"General Fu." Gu Xiao spoke in a low voice, with a bit of joy in his eyes. At the moment, he was thinking of meeting up with Miss Jiang and others.
General Sun was informed about the assassin's ambush outside Yunlai Inn, and asked him to try to prevent the assassination. Since he had met the Fu brothers, and with Fu Rui's wisdom, he thought there would be a solution in the future.
But looking at the group of soldiers following the Fu brothers, one could tell at a glance that these people must be sent by Shan Bin to guard them. It was difficult to see them at the moment.
After thinking for a while, Gu Xiao looked at Xiaodouzi and seemed to have an idea. He immediately called Xiaodouzi and whispered a few instructions. He then closed the door and without waiting any longer, jumped out from the window on the third floor and met at the alley.
Go away...
After receiving Gu Xiao's message, Xiaodouzi turned his big eyes slightly, made up his mind, slipped out of the room, and crept down the stairs slowly. When he reached three or four steps, he deliberately slipped and rolled down the steps.
Fall down.
This movement not only caused everyone in the Yunlai Inn to look back at the Prime Minister, but also aroused the alertness of many Yanbei sergeants in the vestibule.
"Qiang - Qiang Qiang -"
More than a dozen sabers were unsheathed in an instant, and the leading captain who had just been scolded by Fukang raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Who is this!"
The moment he said this, a soldier from Yanbei came quickly to investigate and saw that it was a little girl holding her ankle and moaning in pain. Then he lost his guard, sheathed his sword, looked back and reported to the captain: "Don't worry, sir."
, it’s just a female doll that fell down the stairs.”
The captain was worried, and wanted to set out to investigate, but he remembered General Shan's military order, stopped his steps, and ordered: "Bring me to see!"
The two soldiers who came to investigate heard the order, picked up Little Douzi who was crying with big tears on the ground, and walked quickly to the vestibule.
Seeing the girl crying miserably, the captain also felt compassion, signaled the soldiers behind him to put away their weapons, and stepped forward.
He comforted: "Little baby, your ankle is fine. How about you let some of your brothers take you to buy some toys?"
Unexpectedly, such a soft tone made the girl cry even more miserably, attracting the attention of everyone in the inn. This made the captain feel embarrassed, and all the soldiers behind him also stood there, at a loss.
Although the Fu brothers led the troops sternly, neither of them had married yet. Seeing the girl crying miserably, they felt pity for her. Before Fu Rui could speak, Fukang was so angry that he could no longer suppress his anger and shouted at the captain.
: "Your appearance, let alone this little girl, even a grown-up will be frightened by you. Get out of here and go to the city to ask for a doctor."
After being scolded by Fukang, the captain retreated and turned around to ask the city officials to come and see him. When Fukang saw this, he immediately put away his anger, raised his steps slightly, and walked towards the girl.
The captain retreated, curled his lips, and murmured in a low voice: "You're still telling me, but you're not much better on that side."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a magical scene. In the eyes of his soldiers, General Fukang was clearly unsmiling. The moment he came closer, the girl stopped crying. This made the generals scratch their heads and made Fukang feel very proud.
Fu Rui rarely showed a smile and said to Fukang: "Brother, I think this girl is destined to you. It would be good to accept her as your adopted daughter."
Fukang laughed proudly and shouted to Colonel Shicai: "You see, I am the one who wins the heart of a child. Learn from me. When I get back, I will also tell your family, General Shan."
After saying this, he turned around and scolded the soldier holding the baby girl: "Quick, quick, quick, let me teach you how to make the baby happy."
Although the two soldiers are not Fu family members,
He was under the brother's command, but his official rank was still there. He didn't dare to disobey such a trivial matter, so he had to carefully hand over the girl in his arms to Fukang.
"Stay away, don't scare her again!" After taking the girl, Fukang angrily scolded the soldiers beside him. After the soldiers took a few steps back, he turned back to look at the girl. After a closer look, he saw that
It looked familiar, but I didn't know where I had seen it before. Just when I was about to think about it carefully, I was hugged by the girl's neck.
The Fu brothers have been soldiers all their lives, and all the people they saw were rough soldiers. Being treated like this by a female doll aroused the softness in Fukang's heart. He immediately put his thoughts aside and coaxed: "Good baby, don't be afraid.
, as long as you, Uncle Fu, are here, no one dares to bully you..."
Fukang coaxed the girl and was about to continue speaking when a childish voice sounded in his ears.
"General, my ankle is fine, but I'm just pretending. Someone asked me to help deliver a message to you, 'Shan Bin wants to rebel. There are killers both inside and outside the inn. We made an agreement at the city gate and we will not break the promise. Come here at midnight tonight
