By the time Gu Xiao and Xiaodouzi evaded the patrolling Yanbei soldiers on the street and rushed outside Yunxiang Pavilion, it was almost Chou time.
Instead of rushing into the wing, Gu Xiao visited Yunxiang's attic for a while, but Miss Jiang and others were nowhere to be seen. He was increasingly worried. Looking at Xiaodouzi who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, he decided to go back to the room first and leave his daughter behind.
After the baby is settled, let’s make plans.
Seeing the people watching on the street going home, comforted by the patrolling soldiers, the street gradually returned to quiet. Gu Xiao used Qinggong, crossed the main street, reached the back alley, and jumped into the house.
The moment he climbed through the window and entered, Gu Xiao sensed that there was someone in the room. He had agreed with Miss Jiang and others to meet at Yunxiang Pavilion, but he did not tell them the location of the wing room he lived in. They should not be in the room at this moment.
After thinking about this, without having time to think too much, Gu Xiao hugged Xiaodouzi tightly with one hand and protected him in his arms, while the other hand was already caressing the Moon-Breaking Sword Box behind him.
Just as Duanyue was about to unsheath, she heard Miss Jiang's voice in the room.
"Mu Yi! It's me."
Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Xiao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and his hand stroking the sword box slowed down a bit, looking for the sound, and saw Miss Jiang and others slowly walking out from the corner of the wing.
"Brother Mu, don't blame Miss Jiang and I. It was you who left in a hurry. You only mentioned Yunxiang Pavilion but did not tell us where the wing was. Miss Jiang was worried about you, so we had no choice but to use tracking methods to find this place and dig in.
In your room." The cigarette pot came out of the corner and teased.
When the young man heard this, he turned to look at Jiang Ningxue's pretty face with a chill. His tense nerves relaxed a little. The experience tonight made the young man feel a little tired, but with these two friends here
, it really made the young man feel at ease.
"Brother Chi, stop saying those useless words and tell him the results of our pursuit quickly." Looking at the young man putting the girl in his arms on the couch, Jiang Ningxue didn't ask much, just turned to the pipe pot and asked him
Tell yourself about the two tracking.
When Yantai Guo heard about the pursuit, he immediately stopped his smile, frowned and said: "It's strange, considering that the tea in the room is still warm and the charcoal fire has not been extinguished, the people in the room can't escape very far... After we split up,
I used the tracking method and chased him all the way, but there was no trace. Do you think it's strange or not?"
Gu Xiao had just settled Xiaodouzi, and when he heard Yandianguo's words about tracking them, he immediately wondered: "Even Brother Chixin's tracking method can't find any trace of them?"
"Yes, it's strange. If your inference is at a loss, even if He Ji had the help of the masked man, they still had a few people with them. Ruona Murong... was also captured by He Ji. It should be more difficult to escape.
The difficulty is that Brother Chi Xin and I have been chasing him for a long time, but we have not been able to get any clues." Jiang Ningxue took the pipe and said, frowning slightly, talking about the pursuit.
Seeing the young man turning to him with a puzzled look, Yandian Guo also nodded and said: "What Miss Jiang said is indeed true. Logically speaking, the smell of charcoal fire in that room is strong. It wasn't long before I left. If I followed up, I would definitely not miss it."
Any smell...weird, strange, really strange."
Gu Xiao saw that the two of them seemed to be feeling guilty for not being able to find any clues, especially Yandian Guo, whose brows were filled with self-blame. He immediately relaxed his brows and joked to Yandian Guo.
"Brother Xu Shichi has been smoking for a long time, and his chest and abdomen are full of the smell of the cigarette.
, these two smells are intertwined...Brother Chi, don't worry, He Ji is cunning, not to mention the masked man to help. Yanbei has sealed the city. As long as they are still in the city, we will definitely be able to find their whereabouts.
"
The young man's words made Yandian Guo feel less self-blame. Jiang Ningxue also agreed with the young man's words. Yanbei closed the city, and even if He Ji concealed his whereabouts, he would always be exposed one day.
"By the way, Brother Chi, Miss Jiang, has General Sun returned to the army?" The young man thought of the discussion with the Fu brothers and asked where General Sun was.
"I wonder if you have heard the shocking noise at night. General Sun is worried about the safety of the people and has returned to the army to lead his troops to pacify the people." Yandianguo told the young man where General Sun had gone.
After hearing what Yandian Guo said, the young man separated himself from the two of them, told the general about the night banquet, the attack on Tonggu Xuan and the murder of the drug shop to the two of them.
There was an entanglement with Daoming before, and both of them were shocked when they heard about it.
"I see. I didn't expect that those bandit leaders never fled the North and actually hid in Yanbei City. So, Tongguxuan is the bandit's lair?"
"Yes, the situation in Yanbei is about to be chaotic. Tomorrow will be the power of military regulations. The two generals Fu and I have agreed... I want to ask Miss Jiang and Brother Chixin to find General Sun and lead three patrols outside the city.
Entering the city, if Shan Bin really takes the risk, we must protect Yanbei." The young man told the truth what he had in mind.
Jiang Ningxue nodded slightly. The young man's words were indeed good. If he could lead the army into the city, it would not only deter Shan Bin, but also protect the people. However, he also heard some clues from the young man's tone, and immediately said: "Then you
Woolen cloth,
Won’t you go out of the city with us?”
"My stay is because it is a day of military regulations. I will secretly guard outside the Yunlai Inn. In case the patrol troops don't arrive, Shan Bin will take action first. I can resist for a while, and secondly, no matter what happens, Shan Bin will take action first.
Ji's whereabouts are still that of the bandit leader, I still want to find out something today."
Seeing that Miss Jiang was still about to speak, Gu Xiao stopped her and said, "Miss Jiang, without further ado, while there is chaos in Yanbei City right now, let's go find General Sun and try to get out of the city."
Seeing the look in the young man's eyes, Jiang Ningxue knew that he had made up his mind, so she immediately said no more. Gu Xiao looked back at the girl who was still sleeping soundly on the couch. She was so shocked by her sleep that she couldn't bear to wake him up, so she immediately found her from the room.
Paper and pen, and a letter left behind, instructing Xiaodouzi to wait for his return in the inn, he stuffed it into the quilt on the couch.
The three of them didn't wait any longer. They opened the window slightly and saw that the street outside the window had gradually calmed down under the dedicated efforts of Yanbei's soldiers. They immediately stood up and walked out, each using Qinggong, towards the south gate of Yanbei City...
——
Under the south gate of Yanbei, General Sun Pian was leading his troops back from the city. After struggling for half a night, all the soldiers were exhausted. Despite this, no one complained. They joined the army to protect the country and the people.
"The city has been sealed off, but I didn't expect that the ordinary Tongguxuan would cause such a trouble." A corps commander said in a low voice on horseback to the captain beside him.
The captain also frowned and made a silent gesture to the corps commander, indicating that he was leading the army in front. The silent general said in a low voice: "Haven't you seen our general look like that? In his heart
, treat the people as sons, what I saw tonight, it’s best not to mention it casually, let’s see what happens to our general
Disposal."
"What else can we do? I heard that this incident has alarmed General Shan, but for some reason I haven't received General Shan's military order yet." The corps commander said in a low voice.
The school captain had a close relationship with the corps commander on weekdays. When he saw him asking questions, he explained: "I heard someone said that General Shan originally issued a military order to investigate Tongguxuan, but he was blocked by a man.
."
"Who can persuade General Shan?" The corps commander became curious and asked softly.
The captain shook his head slightly and was about to speak when he saw General Sun, who was leading the way, reining in his horse and stopping his progress. He turned around and shouted, "What are you talking about? If anyone talks nonsense again, they will be punished under military law."
This shout of shouting was indeed effective. No one, no matter the corps commander or the school captain, dared to say more. They just moved forward in silence and said no more.
Seeing that General Sun seemed to have something on his mind, the captain immediately slapped his horse and said, "General, I am troubled by what happened at Tongguxuan last night."
Sun Pianjiang sighed slightly and said: "Yanbei City is so tightly guarded and is an important border area, but there are still thieves sneaking into it. How can we not make people worried?"
The lieutenant hurriedly comforted him and said: "General, don't worry. Didn't Tongguxuan commit suicide tonight? It can be said that evil will be punished by nature. The man in the mansion dressed as a young master must be the bandit leader. Since he has surrendered to the law, I think he will come."
There is peace in Yanbei City."
The captain did not know the inside story, but General Sun did. He thought to himself: "It happened on the day before the military regulations that such an incident happened. Brother Mu had mentioned that Tongguxuan was quite weird before, but he didn't expect... It's just that
I don’t know if the incident at Tongguxuan was caused by Brother Mu. If so, we must try to make this matter as minor as possible to prevent Brother Mu from being pulled out..."
Just as I was thinking to myself, out of the corner of my eye I saw the front
At the alley below the city, a familiar figure seemed to flash by. He immediately recognized it in his eyes, gathered his thoughts, and thought about the general behind him, and said: "You will lead your troops to the city gate to change the defense first. I will... go for convenience."
"
The captain did not think much and led his army to the city gate to change the defense. After all his soldiers had gone far away, General Sun Pian got off his horse and looked around. He saw no one was around. He tied up the horse and walked quickly.
Enter the dark alley on the corner of the street.
Entering the alley, not far away, he heard a noise behind him. Sun Pian put his hand on his waist to hold a knife, turned around alertly, and saw the young man and Jiang Ningxue. He released the handle of the knife in his hands, stepped forward and said, "How?
Is what happened in Tongguxuan tonight related to the bandit leader you said?"
"It is indeed related, but now is not the time to worry about it. Why did Sun Pian go to the city gate?" Gu Xiao didn't have time to explain one by one. He just rushed to the city gate and saw General Sun Pian coming with his army.
Asked.
Seeing that the young man's tone was a little anxious, Sun Pianjiang replied: "It's strange to say that Shan Bin rarely uses me on weekdays, but after the incident at Tongguxuan today, he asked me to lead our troops and horses to the city gate to change defenses."
Gu Xiao was also puzzled by Shan Bin's move, but now that General Sun Pian was leading the army to defend the city, it was just what he wanted. There was no need to worry about how to get out of the city. He gathered his thoughts and said, "Let's not guess what Shan Bin is thinking.
General Sun, I wonder if you can try to get Miss Jiang and others out of the city?"
"This is easy to handle. Miss Jiang and Brother Chi just need to pretend to be my personal soldiers. In half an hour, I will personally take you to the city gate. Then I will find an excuse to send everyone away and you can leave the city on your own."
." Sun Pianjiang responded with all his heart.
Yan Bi, Sun
General Pian signaled the three of them to wait in the alley for a while, and then left from the alley. After a while, he returned to the alley, took off his armor from his horse, and handed it to the three of them. Gu and Xiao each put on armor, and accompanied General Sun.
Behind you, go to Yanbei South Gate.
The defense change has been completed, and the soldiers guarding the city are all soldiers under the command of General Sun. Naturally, no one will ask questions. General Sun has already thought of talking to everyone, and after giving a lecture to the soldiers under his command, he sent them to change their posts. While the soldiers
When the defense was changing, he handed his belt to Gu Xiao and asked him to take Jiang Ningxue and the others first, while he stood guard in front of the city gate, waiting for his soldiers to come and take over the defense.
Gu Xiao understood and took advantage of this short unattended moment to take Jiang Ningxue through the Wengcheng, into the corridor, and finally arrived under the city gate.
The battalion of soldiers guarding the gate originally wanted to question the three of them, but when they saw the general's badge, they did not dare to stop them and immediately opened the gate a crack to let the three of them out.
Walking out of Yanbei City, Gu Xiao took out the patrol tiger talisman given by the Fu brothers from his arms and solemnly handed it to Jiang Ningxue. Seeing that Miss Jiang seemed to be hesitant, he solemnly warned her.
"Miss Jiang, Brother Chixin, the matter of mobilizing troops is of great importance. This tiger talisman is the last resort for Yanbei City. I hope you two can be careful. It's already late now. You can't see the city clearly from the top of the tower.
If this is the case, hurry up and leave."
Feeling the body temperature of the young man on the tiger talisman, Jiang Ningxue looked at the handsome face that was concerned about the people, nodded solemnly, and then quietly left with the luck and luck of Yandian Guo...
When they were more than ten feet away and no longer had to worry about being discovered by Yanbei City, Jiang Ningxue temporarily gathered her Qinggong skills and stopped to look back, faintly seeing the young man's back as the Yanbei City Gate gradually closed.
