Although Yu Lie lied at home to make his mother happy, when he got up to leave, he still did not accept half of the gold and silver left by Gu Xiao, and asked the accompanying soldiers to carry the boxes full of gold and silver onto the carriage.
Go to Yunxiang Pavilion.
"General Yu, it is for the sake of the old man's happiness, and it is also a little bit of my heart, so why bother to refuse again and again."
The young man was puzzled. Before returning home with Yu Lie, he had indeed thought about it and wanted to exchange gold and silver for Yu Lie's trust. However, after meeting Yu Lie's mother and her son, Gu Xiao really wanted to keep the gold and silver.
, this time is not for any purpose, just so that the mother with a righteous heart can no longer be so embarrassed.
Although Yu Lie is an upright man, he has also been in the Yanbei Army for many years. He can still tell who is cheating and who is sincere. Seeing the young man in front of him speak sincerely, he is also grateful, but his mother taught him just before he left home.
You stood by his ear, composed his mind, and looked away from the box of gold and silver.
"Brother Mu, when I left home just now, my mother already told me that joining the army is my duty. These merits are my duty. I cannot accept these rewards, especially since Brother Mu is so generous and is willing to give half of the gold and silver."
Yu Lie spoke softly.
Hearing this, Gu Xiao was startled. He didn't expect that although Yu's mother was blind, she had already seen through everything in her heart. She knew that those who served in the army would not be rewarded with so much property for their military merits, but it was difficult to refute the young man at home.
He pretended to accept it, but when he left home, he asked his son to return all the property given by the young man.
"If all mothers in the world are like this, how can they not teach loyal generals?" Gu Xiao thought to himself as he looked at Yu Lie, and at the same time he despised Shan Bin in his heart.
Heart
While Zhongzheng was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a place on the street and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
He slowed down and sat down on his horse. He waited until the soldier driving the carriage behind him got a little closer. Then he turned his head and whispered a few instructions. The two soldiers immediately understood. One of them jumped off the carriage and walked away quickly.
Yu Lie, who was riding a horse in front, didn't notice it and just led the way. When he didn't see the young man, he was about to look back when he was overtaken by the young man on a horse.
After visiting the house on the way, Yu Lie had already put down his guard against the young man. When he saw the young man catching up, the two of them laughed and talked and rushed all the way to Yunxiang Pavilion.
Time flies like a wheel, and at noon again, a group of people have arrived in front of Yunxiang Pavilion, dismounted from their horses, Yu Lie smiled at the young man beside him and said: "I wanted to have a drink with Brother Mu, but I didn't expect that we would just have a family dinner today.
Entertained the brothers."
"General Yu is serious. Mu once said in General Yu's residence that this family banquet is more delicious than the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the past few days." Gu Xiao replied with clasped fists.
Hearing the young man's words, Yu Lie felt a sense of pity in his heart. He remembered that they would be together for a long time in the future, and he still had military affairs to attend to. He was about to say goodbye when he suddenly remembered something, frowned, and asked: "Yes."
I wonder if your sister has ever returned?"
"What's wrong, I thought he had forgotten about it a long time ago, but he remembered it again this time." Gu Xiao thought to himself, with hesitation on his face.
Gu Xiao had previously given gold and silver as gifts, and what Gu Xiao planned in his mind was to use the gold and silver to get closer to Yu Lie, and then try to lure him into the game, using Yu Lie's soldiers to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Yun, Murong Wu and his party, but he failed.
Unexpectedly, after meeting Yu's mother, she changed her previous thoughts and no longer wanted to use Yu Lie.
But now that he asks about it again, if he shirks it again
, it would only make him suspicious again, he weighed it in his mind, and finally made up his mind to speak, but slightly changed his previous plan.
"General Yu, can you please take a moment to speak?" the young man said hesitantly.
Seeing the attitude of the young man in front of him, regardless of his status as a distinguished guest, it was the behavior of Shicai's family, which had already attracted Yu Lie's favor. The look of embarrassment fell in Yu Lie's eyes, and he immediately stepped forward with concern, and followed the young man to a secluded place aside.
"The general doesn't know. My sister...has not returned yet. I thought she had never seen the world. She was so playful that she forgot the time, but unexpectedly she has not arrived at Yunxiang Pavilion this morning..." Gu Xiao
I spoke according to my previous plan.
If the young man hadn't held him down, Yu Lie might have screamed, but seeing the young man's calm expression, Yu Lie also calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Brother Mu means... that your sister is missing... How can it be so? In the clear sky and white sun,
How dare you kidnap someone?"
After finishing speaking, I saw that the young man was silent and seemed to be worried. I remembered the young man's absent-minded look when he was in the small courtyard at home. It turned out that he was worried about this matter, so he immediately spoke.
"Brother Mu, don't worry. I want to see who is so bold and dare to attack the distinguished guests of our Yanbei Army. Brother, I will go back to the General's Mansion and ask for orders to mobilize troops and conduct a thorough investigation of the entire Yanbei City. That is General
Even if we turn the whole thing over, we will definitely find someone..."
Seeing that Yu Lie was about to turn around and leave, Gu Xiao hurriedly called him to stop him, stepped forward and said: "General Yu, wait a moment!"
Yu Lie was puzzled and suddenly became suspicious. If his sister disappeared, he would be so anxious at this moment that he would throw everything aside. He turned around for a moment and heard the young man speak again.
"Please also
General, please don’t publicize this matter...can you help me secretly?"
"Why?"
"Brother Yu also knows that I finally won the trust of General Shan. If I miss this opportunity because of this incident, I will not only lose my job, but I am afraid it will also arouse suspicion. I am a member of the world, and I will not only lose my place.
I am afraid that my life is still in danger, so I ask Brother Yu to save me."
The young man's words somewhat dispelled the doubts in Yu Lie's mind. What he said was correct. Unless he was from a famous family and entered Yanbei City at this juncture, if troops were deployed to conduct a large-scale search in the city because of him, not only would
It has aroused unreasonable suspicion, don't say that he will not be reused by General Shan again in the future, just in case someone takes this opportunity to cause trouble...
He also thought about the young man's words and deeds in his own home when he saved him from the Fu brothers' army. He finally sighed slightly and said, "Brother Mu is indeed thoughtful. It's true. If he acted recklessly like me, I'm afraid it would be a disaster."
If you fail to save others, you will be implicated... How do you want me to help you?"
"Before this, I have tried to search for clues in the city on my own. I already have some clues. I would like to ask Brother Yu to use his capable people to secretly investigate in the city." Gu Xiao lowered his voice and said.
When Yu Lie heard this, he immediately said: "We have clues. It will be much easier to handle over there. Tell me quickly."
"I made extensive inquiries at the place where my roommate disappeared, and learned that at that time, only a one-armed man appeared." According to the previous plan, Gu Xiao informed Yu Lie of He Ji's appearance.
"With this clue, it will be much easier to handle over there. If you have sound hands and feet and an ordinary appearance, it will be difficult to find. There won't be many people with one arm in Yanbei City.
..Brother Mu, don’t worry, this matter will be taken care of by someone." Yu Lie assured the young man in front of him, patting his chest.
Gu Xiao was about to continue discussing the matter of searching for the person, but he heard the sound of horse hooves on the main street outside Yunxiang Pavilion, and saw that it was a soldier of the Yanbei Army. Yu Lie beside him patted his head and softly shouted: "What's wrong, it almost happened."
I forgot that General Shan asked Brother Mu to go to the General's Mansion after noon for instructions."
After saying this, he saw the young man's hesitant expression and thought that he was worried about his sister's disappearance, so he immediately spoke.
"Just as Brother Mu said, at this moment, I advise Brother Mu to go back to the General's Mansion with me. As for rescuing people, we only need to wait until the two of us have completed the tasks assigned by the General. It won't be too late to find people. Now Yan
In Beifeng City, the bandits holding my sister hostage can hardly fly out of the city even if they have wings..."
Worried that the young man still had concerns and would be exposed in front of General Shan, Yu Lie continued to persuade: "The bandits kidnap people just to ask for ransom, but now Brother Mu has not received any news, it seems that this group of people
They must be frightened by the current closure of Yanbei City and dare not act rashly. Brother Mu, just rest assured."
Seeing that Yu Lie had been convinced by him, Gu Xiao felt relieved a little. As long as he convinced the general and used his resources in Yanbei City, he might be able to get clues about He Ji's whereabouts.
However, the most important thing at the moment is not the search, but the upcoming military regulations. After gathering his thoughts, Gu Xiao turned to Yu Lie and said: "What the general said is true, the search needs to be considered in the long term, but General Shan..."
"Don't worry, brother. I think General Shan has already forgotten about your sister. As long as we don't mention it in front of him, even if he thinks about it, Yu will have his own way to deal with it, so don't worry."
Yu Lie comforted the young man, and the previous doubts had long since disappeared.
"In that case, let's go back to the General's Mansion first." The young man seemed to be reassured by Yu Lie's words and spoke immediately.
When the two of them agreed, the soldiers who rode up to deliver the order were already approaching. As expected by Lie, it was Shan Bin who had not seen the young man coming back in the house for a long time. He just thought that Yu Lie and him were drunk, so he sent someone
Come and call.
The two of them received the general's order and got on their horses. Yu Lie ignored the guards who were driving the carriage behind him, followed the order and the scouts turned their horses' heads, and all went to the general's mansion.
——
Outside Yanbei City, Jiang Ningxue had long since abandoned her clumsy armor, and had returned to her fairy-like appearance in white clothes. At this moment, Yanbei City was closed, and there were no pedestrians outside the official road. Only a suit of black clothes and white clothes complemented each other, and she was walking on her way using Qinggong.
posture.
Both of them had tired looks on their faces, but they still continued on their way without stopping their Qinggong skills. It wasn't until Jiang Ningxue's cold eyes saw the garrison's banner in the distance that she slightly raised her hand towards the cigarette pot chasing him behind her.
"Jiang...Miss Jiang, are we...are we here?" Although Yandian Guo's martial arts skills are not low, if he relies solely on his Qinggong and internal strength, he is naturally not as good as Jiang Ningxue. In addition, he has been exhausted from driving all night. When he sees Jiang Ningxue in front of him,
He paused his body shape and hurriedly worked his way up to catch up. He paused his body shape and panted heavily before speaking.
Looking at the camp, Jiang Ningxue remembered what the young man had said that the Fu brothers and the patrol troops under Gao Deng were the last support of Yanbei City. She said to the pipe pot behind her: "Brother Chixin, without further ado, let's split up.
You take the Fu Brothers Hufu and continue on your way to find the other two patrols, under Gao Deng's command, and leave them to me."
A little time together
, Yandian Guo knew that Jiang Ningxue was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so she asked her to take the tiger charm to find the Fu brothers' patrol. In fact, she was worried that Gao Deng's subordinates had not seen the tiger charm and did not trust the two, so they left the easy task to herself. She
Go to a more difficult place.
However, now was not the time to fight over who should go where. He immediately took the Fu brothers' Trooper Tiger Talisman from Jiang Ningxue, put it in his arms and said, "Miss Jiang, please don't act with caution."
Nodding slightly, Jiang Ningxue turned her gaze to the military camp at the foot of the mountain for a moment, and the figure of the pipe pot disappeared sideways.
After calming down, he raised his hand to straighten his messy hair, took out a white gauze scarf from his sleeves to cover his cheeks, and then used Qinggong to go to the patrol camp...
In the garrison camp, Yan Qingchuan paced back and forth among the army commanders, constantly thinking in his mind whether Gao Deng had saved Xu An's life when he entered the city, and what happened to His Highness Prince Ning now, if it turned out to be what the young man said.
It is said that Shan Bin has evil intentions in locking down the city this time. How should he deal with it?
"Even with the two patrols of the Fu brothers, it would be impossible to break open Yanbei City to save people. What's more, those two patrols will not obey my orders. Is it possible to just sit back and wait for death... No way.
, we still have to find a way to lead the army into the city..." Yan Qingchuan was thinking to himself when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the camp.
"Report to the commander, there is a woman outside the camp asking to see you!"
