Chapter 151: Countdown to the End (1)
Rumble!
The scorching thunder exploded in his ears, as if a heavy hammer had smashed into people's hearts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Jialuo and the county lord of Qinghe couldn't help but shudder, not knowing whether they were frightened by the thunder or shocked by this incredible truth.
"Arrow, this~~"
The conversation between Gu Jialuo and Qi Yanzhi, although the county lord of Qinghe didn't understand it very well, he also heard some clues.
It seems that the nephew in front of him, who has been an embroidered pillow for more than ten years, is not as useless as he shows. On the contrary, he even played a very remarkable role in the family.
The county lord of Qinghe even suspected that Qi Yanzhi's house was burdened with extremely secret and heavy responsibilities, and their existence was also a secret that the family kept secret. At least she didn't even know about her, the head of the house.
Thinking that her husband might deliberately conceal herself, a gloom flashed in the heart of the county lord of Qinghe.
But soon, she recovered.
Because she knows that her husband does not tell her about the existence of "dark", it is by no means that he does not believe her, but because of her identity.
After all, she is too deeply involved with the royal family. Now, her maiden family is a hardcore "royalist".
And listening to the meaning of his nephew's words, "dark" is the opposite of the royal family.
As for why the daughter-in-law Gu entered the door late and was young but knew "dark", the county lord of Qinghe could also guess some reasons - the Gu family was born in the Gu family of the Four Great Mansions, and to a certain extent, it was a natural alliance with the Qi family.
They are allies who will prosper and lose.
"Mother, let's go!"
Gu Jialuo didn't know what the county lord of Qinghe was thinking at this time, and she couldn't care about it, in a short period of time, many thoughts had flashed in her mind.
In the end, she still chose to believe in Qi Yanzhi.
Gu Jialuo hugged Xingxing, the county lord of Qinghe took Ah Fu, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at Qi Yanzhi at the same time.
Seeing this, Qi Yanzhi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. His biggest worry was that his family didn't believe him, and then he was taken advantage of by outsiders, which eventually caused a big disaster for the Qi family.
Now that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Qinghe County are willing to go with him, then he is seventy percent sure that he will protect the Qi family and wait for his father to lead the reinforcements back to the capital.
Putting the knife across his chest, Qi Yanzhi drank back from the servants and opened the way in front alone.
"Young master, where are you going?"
Qi Yan and his pedestrians quietly withdrew from the inner courtyard, looking for a secluded path along the way.
It's just that before they could reach the stable that Qi Yanzhi had agreed with his subordinates, a voice suddenly sounded not far away.
Gu Jialuo's heart sank, she usually didn't have anything when she heard this voice, but at this moment, she only felt that her scalp was numb and her heart was panicking.
Xiao Thirteen!
The shadow guard given to her by Master Miao Zhen was originally her protector, but now, it seems that she has become a life-taker who endangers her!
Gu Jialuo gritted her teeth and didn't look for Xiao Shisan's location, she couldn't find it anyway. only followed the direction from which the voice came from, and replied: "There was an accident outside, and there was some chaos at home, so the uncle specially invited someone to pick us up!" ”
Xiao 13 didn't show up, and his voice sounded faintly, "Uncle? In such an urgent situation, the young master still has the heart to joke with his subordinates? If the information of his subordinates is not wrong, the uncle of the Qi family is fleeing for his life in the capital with serious injuries at this moment. ”
Gu Jialuo panicked, "What injury?" The eldest and uncle went to the birthday banquet well, how could they get hurt? ”
Escape? Is the situation so urgent? Is the royal family really going to attack the Four Great Mansions?
So, is the Gu family okay? Could a grandfather and father be involved?
As if hearing Gu Jialuo's heart, Xiao Shisan's cold voice sounded again: "The young master doesn't know yet, just an hour ago, the south study was struck by lightning, and the saint didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the rabble of the 'military' took the opportunity to make a mess, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead to hit the palace." The masters of the Four Great Mansions did not want to be involved, and they did not want to be attacked by dozens of masked men in black on their way home...... Coincidentally, the four families who were obviously in various parts of the city were chased and hid in an abandoned courtyard one after another. ”
“……”
The amount of information provided by Xiao Shisan was too large for Gu Jialuo to digest for a while, but she grabbed a few key words, "Qiao? In the same courtyard? Which family yard? ”
Xiao 13 didn't pause, and said coldly: "Former Lu Guo Mansion." ”
Lu Guogong's Mansion?
Gu Jialuo's face was full of doubt. It sounded familiar, but she just couldn't remember the family.
The county lord of Qinghe had an impression, but when he heard it at first glance, he was still shocked, "Decades ago, Lu Guogong was punished by the clan for rebellion, and the mansion was abandoned. Everyone thought that the mansion was unlucky, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs seemed to have forgotten it, so it never took back the mansion and let it be abandoned to this day. ”
"The people in the capital who know about this have the intention to avoid it, and after a long time, it will be deserted. Occasionally, people passing by swore that the house was haunted, and it was obviously empty, but there was the sound of people talking and walking. The officials of Shuntianfu went several times, but found nothing. In order to stabilize people's hearts, the government strictly ordered the market not to talk about this matter. Gradually, the Lu Guogong Mansion faded out of people's sight. ”
The county lord of Qinghe told the matter of the Lu Guogong Mansion in one breath, and the more she said it, the tighter her brows tightened, "Okay, why did everyone run to the Lu Guogong Mansion?" "Still four families together?
Is it a coincidence?
None of the people present believed it.
"Young master, the subordinates who should say it have all said, and the subordinates advise you, there is chaos outside, it is very unsafe, you and a few others should stay in Qi Mansion."
Xiao 13 continued.
Qi Yanzhi didn't speak, his gaze wandering among several suspicious trees. Finally, it is locked onto a large tree with lush foliage.
I saw him raise his hand quickly, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, and the silver light pierced into the leafy bushes.
Poof~ The blade pierced into the body of the rou and made a slight sound.
It was accompanied by a muffled grunt.
"I know that Princess Changning's shadow guards are all brave, but my Qi family's secret medicine is not vegetarian."
Qi Yanyi hit the hit, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, "This is the antidote, when we leave here safely, I will leave it to you." If you insist on stopping it, you must first taste the taste of this heart-decaying bone. ”
Xiao Shisan, who was hidden in the tree, did not make a sound, but his breathing was obviously much heavier.
Obviously, he had heard of the prestige of the Qi family's secret medicine.
The county lord of Qinghe and Gu Jialuo were a little puzzled. The Qi family is most famous for gunpowder, but looking at Qi Yanzhi's proud appearance, it seems that the power of the poison is no less than gunpowder.
"Your Excellency does not speak, and I acquiesce to you. Don't worry, my words count! ”
Qi Yanzhi clenched the porcelain vase in his hand, turned his head sideways and said to the two county lords of Qinghe: "Auntie, sister-in-law, let's go!" ”
After that, he dodged and let the two of them go first, and he was behind.
Xiao Shisan really didn't move, and let the three of them leave.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Jiu, who was also dressed in black, flew to the branch of the tree and threw a porcelain vase on Xiao Shisan.
At this time, Xiao Shisan's limbs were already stiff, his exposed skin had all turned dark blue, and his facial muscles were shaking violently, as if he was enduring great pain.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiu sighed, picked up the porcelain bottle, poured out a vermilion pill from it and stuffed it into Xiao Shisan's mouth.
After another quarter of an hour, Xiao Shisan laboriously spit out a few words: "The Qi family's secret medicine, it is really domineering!" ”
Of course, Xiao Jiu knew Xiao Thirteen's ability, and he admired the poison that could subdue him.
However, Xiao Jiu didn't say much, looking at the direction where the three Qi family members disappeared, and said faintly: "I didn't expect to meet her so soon." Actually, she, she's really nice to us! ”
After careful calculation, they have not been with Gu Jialuo for a few years, but people have feelings, and Rao is that they have received the most rigorous training since childhood, and they have already developed a hard-hearted heart.
But Gu Jialuo treated them sincerely, and he never thought of using them, and even arranged a safe retreat for them......
Gu Jialuo's all kinds of goodness, how can Xiao Jiu not have ripples in their hearts?!
Even their master, Princess Changning, whom they swore allegiance to, could not guarantee a good end for them.
Anyway, the young lord was born in the four major mansions, as long as these four families don't hand over their military power for a day, the royal family and them are mortal enemies!
And they, the shadow guards raised by the royal family, will also take the elimination of the people of the Four Great Mansions as their primary goal.
“…… Just now, I have fulfilled our master-servant relationship! ”
The effect of the medicine completely worked, the black color on Xiao Shisan's face gradually faded, he moved his hands and feet, glanced at a wound on his left shoulder, and said lightly.
"Well, after today, if we meet again, it will be really you who are dead or alive!"
As I said just now, Xiao Jiu couldn't know much about Xiao Thirteen's skills, if Xiao Thirteen didn't release the water, even if Qi Yanzhi was a sneak attack, it would be impossible to succeed.
……
On the other hand, Qi Ling first helped Qi Jinzhi through the dilapidated courtyard, bypassed the dry lake, and finally came to an inconspicuous courtyard.
The outside of this small courtyard looks the same as the surrounding buildings, broken walls, and wild grass on the walls and ridges, and no one has lived in it for many years.
Qi Jinzhi staggered into a room in the middle with his father, and watched the British duke skillfully knock on the mechanism on the wall.
Bang~
The wall slid to one side, revealing a one-man tall entrance.
The prince of England had already taken a torch and lit it, and was the first to go in.
The other families did not speak, but followed closely.
Entering the entrance, going down the stairs, you will see a secret room made of cast iron, and around the secret room, there are several smaller rooms.
The prince of England used a torch to light the oil lamps hanging around him.
At this time, Qi Jinzhi saw the layout of the secret room, a long stone table in the center, and fourteen stone piers on each side. In front of each seat, there are candlesticks, tea sets, and other utensils.
The candles on the candlesticks were only burned a little, the tea set was clean, and apparently people came here often.
The prince of Wei Guo lit the candlesticks on the table one by one.
Looking at the empty stone pier, Grandpa Gu Laoguo sighed lightly: "Twenty-eight tigers, now there are only a few of us left!" ”
Qi Jinzhi didn't hear Gu Lao's words, he was shocked by another incredible thing:
"What? Father, you say that the 'military' is the one who is a saint ?! ”
