Deducing the truth from the spider traces was what Zhang Xing was best at, but this time she couldn't guess which people were in the courtyard in front of her. From the top of Qingmeng Mountain to the present, the two groups of people and horses they met did all for the purpose of cutting grass and eradicating the roots, like this, the next set and waiting for people to enter the urn, how can it not be like the two groups of people they met before?

Gu Xichao whispered: "I'm afraid that kid is not good, Zhang Xing, let's leave this place first, wait for me to invite some people, let's come here again, I keep the people inside, no matter how many there are, none of them can escape." ”

Zhang Xing shook her head, she had no doubt that Gu Xichao would be able to invite people in Jin'an City, a few miles away, but when he invited people, I was afraid that the daylily would be cold. For the people who set up the situation of catching turtles in this urn, two palace girls and a small bandit are not worth their long wait and risk.

"Then, then you want to go in?" Gu Xichao said with a frown, "There must be something strange about this house." ”

Zhang Xing shook her head again and said calmly, "I won't go in." "Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, then you have to have some ability, just like her, nine times out of ten when she enters this house, she will end up like a stone.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xing took off the burden on her shoulders, took out the oil paper and wrapped it in flint, turned her head and whispered to Gu Xichao: "You help me bring some dry firewood from the pile over there." ”

When Gu Xichao saw the flint in Zhang Xing's hand, he couldn't help but show surprise and said, "Set fire?" As he spoke, he hurriedly rushed over, and lightly carried a large handful of firewood piled up not far away.

Zhang Xing also hugged her, and the two lined up the firewood pile in a line and connected it between the straw pile and the fence.

At this time, the weather is dry and dry, and the dry firewood in the farmer's house is all dried straw last year. and close to the fence. The fence is also made of bamboo and wood. It's just very close, and you can't see it clearly inside and out. Zhang Xing lit the flint, and the flint swept along the wind to the straw pile not far away. The straw pile burned, the fire took shape, the smoke billowed and the fence wall soon followed.

Zhang Xing and Gu Xi ran away early to hide, and after the fire burned for a while, Widow Qin's house finally moved. A woman in her thirties, still graceful, opened the courtyard door and came out, and when she saw the fire, her mother screamed and shouted in panic: "It's on fire, it's ......."

Before her words fell, Zhang Xing saw it clearly, and a hand suddenly stretched out from the door, covered her mouth, and slipped her in. That change was only in the blink of an eye.

Gu Xichao thought that Zhang Xing didn't see it, so he hurriedly pushed her. Zhang Xing replied in a low voice: "I saw it too." Don't worry, they'll definitely come out. ”

Sure enough, not long after the Qin widow was brought in, two people carrying buckets rushed out of the door, dressed like ordinary husbands, only looking a little neater, and their movements were fast and agile.

But Zhang Xing had already counted these in her heart, and when she set the fire, she lit it together with the straw pile next to her, the straw pile was as high as a small mountain, and once it burned, not to mention the fire, the smoke alone was amazing.

The quiet village suddenly became lively, and seven or eight people came out of nowhere, all gathered around the door of Widow Qin's house, talking eagerly.

"What the hell is going on?

"Who set the fire?

"Quickly extinguish the fire, the second master is still in the house. ”

These people were talking one after another, and a bunch of people came out of Widow Qin's house, and in the middle was a young man in his twenties, who was born handsome and extraordinary, and his temperament was especially elegant, and there was no panic in this billowing smoke.

Gu Xichao couldn't help but change his face when he saw this person. But Zhang Xing didn't notice the change in him at all, because she also saw the stone and Zhang Tao. Shishi's hands were tied behind his back, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his clothes were very embarrassed, and he was obviously beaten many times when he entered the house. There were two people standing behind him, both of them with cold faces, and they knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people.

And Zhang Tao was standing not far from the young man, although his face was panicked, but his body was neat, and he didn't suffer much from it. She was carrying a tall woman with a green veil on her face.

Zhang Xing stared at the stone and Zhang Tao, and was even more anxious, there were one or twenty people around, and all of them looked like they were not easy to mess with, how could she save people? It's a pity that although she set fire to the people in the house, the scene was still not chaotic enough, and she still had no way to save people.

The young man over there, surrounded by everyone, looked around, smiled slightly, moved away from Widow Qin's house, and glanced back. The two cold-faced men who were holding the stone immediately pulled the stone up and knelt on the ground, one of them spreading his thin claws over the top of the stone's head.

"Show your face to the friend who set the fire, otherwise, today next year will be the death day of this little brother. The young man said crisply.

Zhang Xing secretly scolded in her heart, the life and death of the stone is naturally important in her heart, but in the hearts of this group of people, I am afraid that it is nothing. However, she had to stand up, but Gu Xichao didn't have this need - this prince was too involved, and if he was left to go out, maybe they would also have a way to live, if something went wrong with him, then even if she and Shi Zhangtao escaped alive, there would be no good life in the future.

Zhang Xing turned his head and was about to tell Gu Xichao to dodge a little, and then he saw the opportunity to slip away, but saw that Gu Xichao had actually stood up, and his face was very strange.

Zhang Xing rushed out and said, "You, what are you doing?"

Gu Xichao stood up, and the people over there all looked over. The young man's face was obviously stunned, and he muttered, "Xichao, is it you?"

Gu Xichao shouted: "Second Brother Shen." ”

Zhang Xing realized that Gu Xichao was familiar with this group of people, and she couldn't help but stand up, and she was secretly relieved in her heart.

If you know each other, then it's easy to do. It should be no problem to save the lives of several of them.

Gu Xichao had already strode over. Zhang Xing slowly walked behind, secretly measuring herself. can be called like Gu Xichao, naturally it will not be an ordinary person, surnamed Shen, the second brother of Shen, Zhang Xing, is suddenly far away in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in the northwest.

Isn't Miss Gu's husband surnamed Shen and the second in line?

Could it be that the second brother Shen in Gu Xichao's mouth is him - Shen Huaijin, the younger brother of Shen Huailin, the eldest son of the Liaoyuan Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and the future husband of Miss Gu of the Huaiyang Palace, who made the whole thing?

Zhang Xing was shocked in her heart, and her previous happiness was gone.

Gu Xichao had already walked to the side of Shen Ergongzi, and while talking to him, he looked at Zhang Xing, who was coming over slowly.

Zhang Xing noticed a few pairs of eyes falling on her, she suppressed the vibration in her heart, lowered her head and walked to Gu Xichao's side.

"Sorry for the dynasty, this is ......" Zhang Xing heard the second son of Shen ask.

"Oh, she, her name is Zhang Xing. Gu Xichao said, "Second Brother Shen, why are you here?"

Shen Er Gongzi smiled slightly, did not answer, patted Gu Xichao on the shoulder, and asked, "You set this fire?"

"I, I don't know if you're ...... inside," Gu Xichao replied.

Shen Ergongzi still smiled, and asked again, "Did you hide from the prince again this time?"

Gu Xi smiled at the court.

Shen Ergongzi glanced at the woman covered with green veils behind him, patted Gu Xichao's shoulder again, and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go." ”

Gu Xichao couldn't help but glance at Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing didn't dare to raise his head at this time. Mixed into this kind of secret, there is no good end, no matter whether this Shen Er Gongzi knows now whether the woman that Lu Daozhang Tao is holding is the real Miss Gu or the fake Miss Gu, whether he is willing to marry that Miss Gu in the future or not. This kind of thing will definitely not let too many people know about it.

She still wants to live, and the natural sense of existence is as small as possible.

Three carriages rushed over, Shen Ergongzi glanced at the entourage next to him, and the entourage immediately walked up to Zhang Tao and the woman covered with green veil, and said respectfully, "Please get on the car, Miss." ”

Zhang Tao naturally recognized Zhang Xing a long time ago, but firstly, the two of them were a little far apart, and secondly, Zhang Xing did not dare to expose too much, always kept her head down, Zhang Tao was so anxious, and there was no way. Hearing that the entourage asked them to get into the car, she couldn't help but look at Zhang Xing frequently.

Zhang Xingzhi said that Zhang Tao was looking at herself, and her heart was also a mess, she originally wanted to take Zhang Tao away from the deep pool in Huaiyang Palace, but now, she felt that it was difficult for even herself to get out.

And the stone was also implicated.

Zhang Xing didn't look at Zhang Tao, and Zhang Tao didn't dare to speak, so she had to carry the green gauze woman into the carriage at this moment.

Shen Ergongzi saw Gu Xichao frequently looking at Zhang Xing, glanced at the entourage around him, and invited Gu Xichao to get into another carriage.

The entourage let the stone loosen its ties, and beckoned Shi and Zhang Xing to get into the last carriage.

As soon as the stone got into the carriage, he squeezed to Zhang Xing's side.

I don't know if Lu Dao was beaten too badly, or if he knelt for too long, Zhang Xing found that the stone next to her was trembling, although his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he couldn't see it really, she still felt that his face was strange, and he was faintly afraid.

Will the stone feel scared? This perception is unlikely even for Zhang Xing herself.

But in addition to the two of them, the carriage in which they were riding was crowded in with two other people. Zhang Xing's gaze swirled around the big hand of the man opposite, who was as thin as iron claws, and swallowed the words he wanted to ask.

The carriage was moving, and the sound of horses' hooves was constantly tapping outside. Zhang Xing suppressed all her thoughts, she knew that at the moment, their vitality was only pinned on Gu Xichao, and all unrealistic ideas had to be abandoned.

The stone leaned on her, her body trembled slightly, her hand slowly touched it, and after touching Zhang Xing's hand, she grabbed her hand tightly.

Only then did Zhang Xing find that Shishi's hand was cold. She couldn't help but glance at the stone. The stone leaned against her, and the only pair of eyes on a face that could no longer be recognized was still good, and in these seemingly scattered eyes, Zhang Xing saw another deep emotion - fear.
