Chapter Seventy-Two: Who's Black Hand?

Tonight, on the edge of this blue ice lake, Temu Danqiong, the lord of the White Sand Country, will appear.

It is rumored that our lord of the White Sands Kingdom is here to choose a concubine.

It is also rumored that this is the Lord who is preparing to use the scenery tonight to introduce the national teacher to the people.

Of course, there is no shortage of theories that come to relieve boredom, but whatever the reason, at least one thing is certain.

That is, this Temudanqiong will definitely appear tonight, and as for the purpose, it may also be that it has no purpose at all, and it is purely boring.

Gu Mandong also heard about it, but only smiled.

If you are lucky enough to meet each other, it is also a great luck.

However, in the days when he came to the city of never falling, Gu Mandong had not cared about it before, but now he felt a little strange.

If it weren't for the complete disappearance of her psychic ability, there was a different reason for it, at least in the city of not falling, she had never even seen a single ghost.

Even the kind of sudden death, not knowing that it is dead, has never seen a single ghost who runs out and wanders.

I heard that the national teacher of this Baisha country is a psychic, could it be related to this?

Gu Mandong couldn't help but guess like this, but even so, if he wanted to make a city of this size, not even a trace of a ghost appear, the ability of this psychic national master was really shocking.

When night fell, a little light gradually appeared on the surface of the blue ice lake, and after about half an hour, the light had already illuminated most of the lake, reflecting the shore scenery like a fairyland.

The sound of three gongs resounded, echoing throughout the field meadow.

In the direction of the city gates, which had already been vacated. Extending to the high platform built next to the blue ice lake, a team of people and horses appeared at this moment, and an extraordinary escort team appeared. The glittering chariot was pulled by eight stout white horses towards the lake.

At the top of the chariot sat a stout, very young man, the corners of the chariot were reflected in the white veil, and his face was blurred in the haze, and in this night, it was even more blurred, and it was impossible to see it really.

Look at the people kneeling along the way. The identity of this person is about to be revealed.

The Venerable Lord of the White Sand Country, Tiemu Danqiong, appeared outside the city at this moment and headed for the Blue Ice Lake.

At this time, Gu Mandong and the two went out of the city relatively late. Only then did he rush not far from the city gate and witnessed the figure of this young lord.

Gu Mandong couldn't really see the appearance of the Temu Danqiong, but her eyes were attracted by the white-robed figure standing on the side of the chariot.

From the size of the white-robed figure. I could tell it was supposed to be a man.

More than two meters in height. It's really unlikely that it's a woman.

Although the oversized hood concealed the other party's appearance, the black boot style also revealed the identity of the other man, the pair of boots embroidered with a wolf's head.

"Girl, get down on your knees. Seeing that Gu Mandong was in a daze, Mu Mu hurriedly pressed her body down, so that she would not stand out in the crowd, and if she was seen by the escort guards, she might be punished. I am afraid that I will be punished even if I take him.

After seeing Temudanqiong's carriage leave, Gu Mandong ran directly to the Blue Ice Lake to play.

Spent silver to rent a small boat. Kumandong sits in a boat, rowing with timber, with a large wooden barrel and a smaller fishing net that can only cover the water with a maximum radius of two meters, and a net for fishing.

Both of these have very fine meshes, like nets for catching small fish like the blue light.

Boating to the lake, Gu Mandong took the fishing net and stretched it out into the water to catch the blue light, but she didn't expect the fish to be very fast, and it should have been caught, and when she closed the net, it was just a few.

Although the results are not good, I am very happy.

Before I knew it, the boat had reached the middle of the lake, and the boats around it were far apart.

Gu Mandong was also tired of playing, and sat directly on the boat to watch the scenery, in this silver-blue light, in a trance, it was like the clouds, and the feeling was really subtle.

"Makaki, let's go back. Gu Mandong commanded, and Makiki nodded and began to paddle back.

The boat swayed towards the shore, and Makiki's rowing skills were quite good, and he was able to shuttle between many fishing boats with ease.

A sound of falling water came from not far away, no one noticed that someone fell into the water, and the person who fell into the water was also strange, he didn't shout for help, if he hadn't seen the wrong posture of his hands, Gu Mandong would not have suddenly asked Mu Mu to sail the boat over to save people, let alone know that the person who fell into the water was none other than the white-robed man standing on the side of the chariot when Tiemu Danqiong traveled at the city gate.

When Makiki pushed the man into the boat, the man was unconscious.

Kumandon lifted the man's hat, revealing a youthful face.

With deep facial features, a sharp chin, and a high nose bridge, this man looks very good, different from Mo Jinyan's beauty, Jiang Tianluo's coolness, this man gives people the feeling that even if he is unconscious, there is a kind of wild beauty.

After soaking in the water, that feeling seemed to be even stronger, Gu Mandong couldn't help but snort, secretly scolding himself for being impure, thinking that these messes were not in a hurry to save people.

Gu Mandong untied the man's white robe, revealing the pectoral muscles inside, clasped his hands, and began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Fifteen times of palm pressure, Gu Mandong was about to come to the artificial breath, this head only got a little closer, the other party squirted out the water in the abdomen, making Gu Mandon's face water.

Mu Mu on the side hadn't gotten on the boat yet, lying on the edge of the boat and glaring at the boss, a little stunned by Gu Mandong's actions just now.

Before Kumandon could get up, the man woke up.

Gu Mandong's chest suddenly ached, and a huge force hit her body directly, her whole body flew into the water, and she fell down, instantly used to several mouthfuls of water, and even a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her lips, and her internal organs were as if they had moved their positions, which was very uncomfortable.

Makiki swam over and rescued her.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?

"Ahem, I guess it's an internal injury, and the internal organs are very concussive. Be sure to find a doctor later, but don't leave the root of the disease. ”

"Girl. You're still laughing, you know you've scared the hell out of me. Makiki spoke angrily, seeing that Gu Mandong was still in the mood to joke. How can you not be angry.

"Okay, I'm fine. It's that the inner house was shocked, so I went back to the boat first, and swam back to the shore from here, but I didn't have that body. Gu Mandong patted Mu Mu and comforted him, and he took it back to the boat.

At this moment, the white-robed man also seemed to realize that he had done something wrong. It's a little awkward to sit on the boat.

"Hmph, girl, I'll help you to the boat. Makiki snorted coldly, his eyes glaring at each other. Obviously very unhappy.

Treating his savior like this is really an ungrateful guy.

Gu Mandong got on the boat and sat on the bow of the boat, experiencing the fright just now. It's not going to be in the mood to linger any longer. As for the original curiosity, it also disappeared at this moment.

Gu Mandong only hoped that he would return to the shore as soon as possible, and that they would have nothing to do with each other again.

"What's your name?" Seeing that the shore was approaching, the white-robed man suddenly asked with a tiger face and a cool question.

"Talk to me?" Gu Mandong asked knowingly, raising an eyebrow.

"What's it called?" the other party frowned slightly, still pretending to be cool and asking in such a cold and stiff attitude.

"When we meet, there is no need for a name. After going ashore. You take your Yangguan Road, and I cross my single-plank bridge. There will be no more intersections with each other, and it is good for everyone to know less. Gu Mandong replied lightly, to be honest, he was in a bad mood.

She doesn't expect anything in return for saving people with such an attitude, but she won't even say thank you, which is really disappointing.

After going ashore, Makiki put the fish caught by Gu Mandong into a small wooden barrel, and Gu Mandong passed a dry blanket, stepped into the crowd on the shore, and gradually drifted away.

The white-robed man pursed his lips, but finally did not speak, but put his hat back on, and turned back to the chariot of Temu Danqiong.

Soon after the white-robed man returned, the three of them left the camp surrounded by a high platform and blended into the crowd.

If Kumandong had been here, he would have recognized the leader as Tagurunto himself.

Kumandong did not linger outside the city, but rode back to the city with Muki.

Back in the city, Kumandon freshened up and rested.

Because of the events of the first day, every time Kumandong went to the Blue Ice Lake in the evening, he no longer rented a boat to go fishing in the lake, but found a higher position, set up a table, and get some refreshments to watch from afar.

The peaceful days passed in a blink of an eye, and except for the episode on the first day, the rest of the days were peaceful.

After the glow returned to the bottom of the lake, all the gathered people returned to their homes and continued their work.

And Temudanqiong's chariot also returned to the inner city the next day.

Hearing that the chariot of this lord would pass through the street in front of the branch of the Guangyou Trading House, Gu Mandong wanted to see the dignity of the king.

Gu Mandong would not be stupid to run on the street to look, she didn't want to kneel down, so she hid at the door and watched from afar.

When the chariot of the Temu Danqiong drove by, the person sitting upright in the chariot shrouded in white veil leaned back on the chair in a lazy posture.

Gu Mandong looked at it from a distance, and suddenly felt that although the face was blurry, there was a faint sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"I should have thought too much, how could I possibly know the dignified Lord of the White Sand Country. However, why didn't the white-robed man stand on the chariot side and follow him today? Could it be that he offended his master and was fired?" Gu Mandong muttered to himself, but he amused himself.

Shaking her head, she suddenly had the idea of leaving.

Perhaps, it's time to say goodbye to Zhang Youbao's shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, please help me see what caravans are ready to leave the White Sands Country and go to the caravan of the Tianhai Empire, I want to go and see the demeanor of the big country, and by the way, I am also over there to make a living to support myself. ”

"Could it be that I didn't take good care of me, otherwise why would the girl ask to leave?"

"Of course not. The shopkeeper has treated me very well, but I am a little reluctant to go for such a free meal. Originally, I was going to go to Shui Muguo to go around, but I didn't think that I would go to the city by mistake. It just so happened that a few days ago, I heard that Baisha Country is not too far from the Tianhai Empire, that is, there is still a Ling country in the middle, and there happens to be an old friend who came to this Tianhai Empire, I want to visit one or two over there, and ask the shopkeeper to ask if there is a caravan to go, so I can take a ride. ”

Zhang Youbao's eyes were slightly constricted, thoughtful.

After a while, "Don't hide it, girl, there will be caravans from the Tianhai Empire every year to come to the city, but it is not safe. If the girl can be trusted, why don't you leave after January next year?"

"Hmm, why wait until January next year?"

"In January next year, the White Sands Kingdom will send an envoy to the Tianhai Empire, saying that it is an envoy, but in fact, it is a tribute. In addition to the Baisha Kingdom, in fact, whether it is the Moon Spirit Country, the Shui Mu Country, or the Ling Kingdom, anyway, the small countries close to the Tianhai Empire will send an envoy to Qingying City, the imperial capital of the Tianhai Empire, to pay tribute before July next year. Rather than following the caravan with such uncertainty, it is better to spend some money and leave with the envoys, at least without worrying about security. ”

"Tribute?"

"Well, a triennial tribute. It's October now, and it's actually nothing to wait another two months, at least it's safe, right?"

"Definitely. It's just that if you leave with the envoys and then leave halfway, will it be ......?"

"Don't worry, the girl won't be able to do what the girl feared. At that time, the girl will go and stay as she pleases. ”

"That's good. ”

After asking Zhang Youbao to deal with the matter of going to the Tianhai Empire, Gu Mandong left the branch of Guangyou Trading House and prepared to go shopping on the street.

Today, Mu Mu was borrowed by Zhang Youbao to handle the affairs of the envoys, and Gu Mandong was only accompanied by an ordinary nursing home, dumbfounded, with an order and an action, which was very boring.

Gu Mandong entered the silk village to look at the fabric, and happened to see a dress with a good style, so he asked the boss to try it on for her.

Gu Mandong took the beautiful dress to try on, and then chose a set of ordinary style coarse cloth clothes, and took advantage of the caretaker's inattention, changed his clothes and slipped away through the back door.

"Being stared at all day by a pair of eyes, there is no freedom at all, and now it is really comfortable. Gu Mandong muttered happily to herself, but before she could leave the alley at the back door of Buzhuang, she suddenly had a pain in her neck, her eyes were dark, and she didn't know anything for a moment.

"Girl, girl......" The nursing home sent by Zhang Youbao was not really stupid, and when he saw that the time was wrong, he ran in to find someone, but when he came out of the back door, he only had time to pick up the money bag with a phalaenopsis embroidered on Gu Mandong's waist and fell in the alley, and the silver in the money bag was a lot, but the person was missing.

The nursing home suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran back to the branch of Guangyou Commercial Bank to report the incident.

After Zhang Youbao found out, he immediately sent people to look around, and even searched for the head snake to see if someone accidentally caught Gu Mandong, and they were ready to pay a lot of money to ransom him back.

But the result made Zhang Youbao, the shopkeeper, look like ashes.

Gu Mandong vanished out of thin air, without a trace.

Just when Zhang Youbao was looking for Gu Mandong like crazy, in a pavilion and a large courtyard with birds singing and flowers, Gu Mandong woke up leisurely lying on a carved bed made of sandalwood. (To be continued.) )
