Gu Shengchao grabbed the note and rushed out like a madman, but where should he look for it in the capital at night?

Ding Ying need not worry, she is absolutely safe with the two seniors Lu Chuan and Fang Xingdan accompanying her. Liu Ximei is different. She is alone in the world with no relatives and friends. She doesn’t even know who her biological parents are. She has no experience in the world. A weak woman is really

It's scary.

Gu Shengchao stayed up all night and searched the entire capital. He kept running in the streets and rooftops, hoping to meet Liu Ximei at any time. However, the other person seemed to have disappeared from the world, without any trace.

The capital was also restless at night. Fan Lixin, as the Ninth Prince's right-hand man, stayed up all night and was busy arresting relevant suspects, causing uproar in the city.

At a street corner, the ancient sage rushed past, and the guard at the door immediately shouted: "What are you doing? Stop, the archers are ready."

Gu Shengchao didn't want to pay attention to them. A black shadow jumped from the roof and stopped in front of him. The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time. They asked in unison: "Why are you here?"

"Brother Fan, my wife and I had a quarrel and a man ran away. I am not chasing him." Gu Shengchao sighed.

Fan Lixin was overjoyed and said: "You, how do you say hello? Eat the food in the bowl and look at the food in the pot. I will live a good life with you in the future. Okay, I want to escort the prisoner back. Remember to come to me tomorrow morning. It's done this time, Your Highness."

If you want to be rewarded based on your merits, you are indispensable."

At dawn, the ancient sage was exhausted. The rising sun brought light and warmth, but his heart sank into the cliff, as if frozen by thousands of years of ice, and he was in pain.

Gu Shengchao remembered that Liu Ximei once said that she was from Lizhou. With a sense of luck, he found out the route to Lizhou, bought a horse and drove there. As for the Ninth Prince, it didn't matter whether he was rewarded or not.

, the one you love has been lost, how can you still have the time and mood to deal with this.

Outside the capital, on a hill, there was a man sitting far away, singing and drinking, with a hoarse voice and a sad voice.

Gu Shengchao faced the rising sun and saw only a figure with golden edges. He walked around the hill and saw the face of that person clearly. He was the son-in-law of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the capital. He had broken one of his legs a few days ago.

.

Dali Temple is backed by the Ministry of Punishment. After this turmoil, it should be a disaster. As the son-in-law of the temple minister, he was not arrested and imprisoned last night. Of course, it is something worth celebrating.

Ancient Sage Chaozong immediately went to the hill, dismounted and walked towards the man, "Master Liu is drinking here alone, what a joy to congratulate you!" Ding Ying said that she had come to the capital with the Liu family, and this man must have the surname Liu.

The man raised his head, his young eyes full of vicissitudes of life, and he asked doubtfully: "Who are you, and where do I come from?"

Gu Shengchao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter who I am. The Minister of Punishment is dead and Dali Temple has no backer. Isn't it a happy event that you can still drink and sing here?"

The man took a sip of wine and smiled bitterly: "Yes, I am still alive. It is indeed gratifying." He raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the rising sun, and said with emotion: "They are all dead, and I am the only one who is still alive. I should be happy.

." He smiled, but tears rolled down his cheeks, and he began to cry.

Gu Shengchao sat down with him silently. After he cried for a while and stopped sobbing, he asked in a low voice: "I can't stay in the capital anymore. What are your next plans? Are you going back to your hometown?"

The man asked warily: "Who are you?"

Gu Shengchao thought of the departure of Ding Ying and Liu Ximei and said sadly: "Like you, I am a sad person who was forced to get involved in the dispute between the Ninth Prince and the eunuch chief Wen Zhe, and ended up with nothing."

The man was relieved and sighed: "Yes, the glory, wealth, fame and wealth are all in vain, just a dream!" He picked up the wine jar with both hands and took several swigs.

Seeing that he was drinking happily, Gu Shengchao stretched out his hand and said: "Come on, I will also drink a few sips to my heart's content."

The man hugged the wine jar and refused to let go. He shook his head and said, "You can't drink this wine. It's all mine."

"Stingy." Gu Shengchao laughed mockingly.

The man simply picked up the wine jar, drank it all in one breath, and threw the wine jar into the shallow pit next to it. Only then did Gu Shengchao notice that the shallow pit was long for one person, and there was also a handful of farm work tools thrown next to it.

Gu Shengchao looked at the shallow pit with some uneasiness and asked, "Did you dig the pit?"

The man nodded and said sadly: "I no longer have a home, this is my last home." Thinking of the past, he shed tears again and choked up: "My wife died because of me, and I don't know where she is buried.

, I became a son-in-law because I was greedy for wealth, and I suffered so much humiliation that my family was ruined. I have no shame to see my ancestors, and no shame to go back to my hometown to see my fellow villagers."

He was crying and talking, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth and flowed down.

Gu Shengchao suddenly realized: "Did you drink the poisonous wine?"

The man cried: "I can't survive. I just want to ask you one thing. I hope you can help me."

"Say." Gu Shengchao was a little moved.

"After I die, bury me here. Please cover me with thicker soil. I don't want to be picked up and eaten by wild dogs in the wilderness." After he said this, he felt severe pain in his abdomen, and blood came out from the corner of his mouth.

He found the right spot and fell headlong into the pit. He rolled and curled up in the pit because of the discomfort, and finally his body stood motionless.

Gu Shengchao said "Hey" several times to confirm that the other party was dead, then jumped down to straighten his body, then came up to backfill all the soil and level it with his feet.

He stood on the hill, feeling inexplicably sad.

There is nothing wrong with a person's pursuit of glory and wealth, but if the method and process are wrong, maybe it is the real mistake!

The ancient sage was so depressed that he couldn't help but roar loudly. Feeling more comfortable, he mounted his horse and ran towards the rising sun.

He asked around while walking, but there was still no news from Liu Ximei. On this day, Gu Shengchao came to a prosperous town and randomly found a restaurant on the roadside to go in. There were many people downstairs, so Gu Shengchao walked up to the second floor and found a seat.

He sat down, ordered wine and meat, and drank alone in depression. While he was drinking, there were three people leaving the empty table unused, so he sat down face to face with Gu Shengchao.

"What do you want, sir?" The waiter came forward to greet you.

"He'll give him three portions," a woman replied.

The ancient sage was very strange. He looked up and looked at the person in front of him. He seemed to have seen it somewhere before and couldn't remember it for a moment. The three women were all in black robes. The leader was in his thirties. He was dignified and elegant with a murderous aura that made people look at him.

You know she is a master who is not easy to mess with. Perhaps because of the weather all year round, her skin is a bit rough, far less delicate than that of Ding Ying or as delicate as Liu Ximei's.

The woman also noticed that Gu Shengchao was looking at her, with a sharp look in her eyes. Gu Shengchao lowered his head involuntarily, drinking carefully for fear of causing trouble. He sensed that the woman's aura was restrained, and it was not easy to detect face to face. She was definitely a master.

The waiter brought the food and wine to the table and put them on the table. The woman next to him filled the three of them with wine. The woman picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. She stared at Gu Shengchao and said, "Why, you don't recognize me anymore?"

Gu Shengchao then raised his head and looked at it again, shaking his head in confusion: "I seem to have seen it somewhere, I can't remember it."

The woman placed the wine bowl heavily on the table and said sarcastically: "Hmph, you were hung up on Qixing Cliff. Who saved you?"

Scenes from the past appeared in his mind, and Gu Shengchao finally remembered it, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, senior, for saving your life that day. I can't thank you enough. I think your senior is the Night Charming King of the Four Kings Valley."

Gu Shengchao remembered correctly, this woman was Wanruo, the Night Charming King of Si Wang Valley. Gu Shengchao was captured by Qixingya and hung up and almost died, but Wanruo rescued him in time.

Wan Ruo snorted coldly: "You still have some conscience, remember this king." After she said that, she thrust a palm at Gu Shengchao without any warning. Gu Shengchao was horrified, and quickly raised his hands to parry, and naturally used

The skill of Jiutian Biluo Palm. Wanruo's moves are very fast, and when he sees the ancient sage super blocking, he flips his palm to lift up, and goes straight to the ancient sage's super face gate.

Wan Ruo and Lu Chuan were from the same sect. Although Lu Chuan was not the master of Gu Shengchao, he was better than him. Gu Shengchao made up his mind that if Wan Ruo really wanted to make a killing move, he would never entangle him and escape as far as he could.

How far away is it from being an enemy of the Four Kings Valley?

Fortunately, Wan Ruo was just testing, and the two of them were sitting across the table. As long as Gu Shengchao defended properly, Wan Ruo would immediately respond without any delay. Wan Ruo would only attack but not defend, and Gu Shengchao would only defend but not attack. He made thirty gestures

Yu Zhaowanruo suddenly closed his palm and said with relief: "That's right. It seems that Brother Lu has indeed taught you all the Nine Heavens Biluo Palm. Which disciple are you?"

Gu Shengchao said truthfully: "I don't know, junior. It seems that senior Lu has never accepted a disciple."

Wan Ruo was confused: "Why, you are not his disciple?"

"No." Gu Shengchao shook his head and said, "This junior wanted to become Senior Lu's teacher, but he refused. He just taught me kung fu."

Wan Ruo said in confusion: "This is strange, does Brother Lu have something to hide?" She looked at Gu Shengchao and said: "I think your kung fu is not weak, how could you be caught by the Qixingya gang, let me test

However, their sparse kungfu is very common."

Gu Shengchao smiled bitterly and said: "Senior Lu had just taught the junior Kungfu at that time, but he was arrested before he could use it for his own purposes. He almost lost Senior Lu's face."

Wan Ruo smiled and said, "Let me tell you, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. No matter how bad Brother Lu's martial arts is, his disciples will not be in such a mess." She thought for a while and said, "Well, you follow me back to the Four Kings.

The restoration of the valley can be regarded as an explanation to the owner of the valley."

"Return to the Four Kings Valley? Why?" Gu Shengchao didn't understand.

Wan Ruo stared with big eyes and asked, "Didn't Brother Lu tell you about the rules of the Four Kings Valley?"

"No, Senior Lu has not revealed anything about the Four Kings Valley to this junior." Gu Shengchao said seriously.

Wan Ruo was even more confused, "What kind of medicine is in this gourd of Brother Lu?" She waved her hands and said decisively: "Forget it, leave him alone, just follow me back to Si Wang Valley, and leave after eating."

Gu Shengchao refused: "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I understand it. It's just that I still have important things to do. Let's go back with senior after I finish it!"
