Gu Liu raised his head and said, "It's best for you to go around the city as much as possible in the future, and try not to stay in the city if you can, and it's best to arrive in the national capital as soon as possible." ”

"The captain of the guard is an old acquaintance with you?" I grabbed the key point from the previous conversation and asked a question.

"Not bad." Gu Liu bowed his head to me and said, "We grew up together since childhood, her family used to live next door to the dart game, and later her family moved to the alley in the north of the city. ”

Gu Liu's eyes looked at me with clear eyes and said: "The dart bureau sometimes needs to deal with the government, I want to go out of the city to dart, she is the captain of the city guard, and sometimes I will meet at the city gate." ”

"Leisure, she has also come to the dart game to eat a few times." Gu Liu's explanation was clear, for fear of missing something, her tone didn't sound like she was unsure, it seemed that she had spoken to the captain of the guard guarding the city.

"Gu Liu, the steward who inquired about the news earlier said that the number of people guarding the city and patrolling has increased a lot, which means that your best friend alone may not be accommodating, I am afraid that if there is a situation, she needs to bear the responsibility."

I don't want her to be difficult and implicate her friends, not to mention it!

"Xiaolin, don't worry, you and your eldest brother are not unidentified people in the first place," Gu Liu thought for a while and said, "You are just here to look for relatives in Xilan, and you are just passing by, and the captain of the guard has also thought carefully about agreeing to be accommodating, after all, there is no big stake." ”

Gu Liu said affirmatively: "You are not the people in the city, you are just the person you are looking for on the conscription list, so it will take effort." ”

She also added: "After the conscription order, there are many people in the city who ask for accommodation, and there are people like me who are the local people of Hengcheng." ”

My heart moved, and I whispered, "It seems that this time it's time to make a big move." “

There was a brief silence in the room, and I turned my gaze to Ji Jiu, who was sitting alone by the window. His eyes always fell on a pot of magnolia flowers on the window shelf, and his expression was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Once the situation in Sealand changes greatly, it will not only affect the people of Hengcheng. The conscription order will not only be issued in this area, Ji Jiu must have a lot of concerns.

I hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and asked him, "Big brother, you also heard what Gu Liu said, what did you say?" “

Gu Liu walked over behind me, stood beside me and looked at Ji Jiudao, "Brother Lin, you always have to have an idea." “

"Xiao Lin is still waiting for you."

Ji Jiu's gaze flickered on me and Gu Liu, and he said expressionlessly: "You can discuss it, I agree." ”

"Okay," I said to Gu Liudao without hesitation, "Go to your study." Show me the map of Hengcheng and discuss it by the way. ”

Freshly brewed tea was brought to the table, Gu Liu brought it to me, I looked at her flatteredly, I really didn't expect her to do it herself. But I couldn't push it with good intentions, so I took it and took two sips of it to my mouth.

"The convoy can't catch up this morning, so it's better to go out tomorrow morning as soon as possible."

Gu Liu thought for a moment, and said this to me first.

Gu Liu rummaged through the shelves and found a few scrolls. Holding his hands together, he hugged them to the desk and put them down.

The large desk was occupied in one corner, but I stood by the bookshelf in the other corner of the room and watched intently.

"Xiaolin, the map of Hengcheng you want to see."

Gu Liu called me at the desk, I turned my head to look at her and smiled: "Your study, you know that it belongs to your Gu family's dart bureau." I didn't know it, and I thought it was a teaching gentleman. ”

Gu Liu's figure paused, put down the map, walked over to look at the books on the shelf, she stretched out her fingers and gently swiped along the books. whispered: "Xiaolin, you are right, it is indeed Mr. Teaching." ”

"My father used to be a teacher in Hengcheng."

Gu Liu said softly, with an expression of reminiscing about the past on his face.

I raised my eyebrows slightly, and looked at her in surprise: "Hengcheng is not this place"

Gu Liu said: "Men from Hengcheng rarely show their heads, but my father is from somewhere else, and even my mother hasn't talked about it." "He taught in Hengcheng for a few years, but he rarely went out, just in a private school." Gu Liu glanced out the window. "And then?" "Later," Gu Liu retracted his gaze and paused, "Xiaolin, that's an old thing, I can't explain it clearly for a while." “

She hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about whether to explain a few words to me, and I quickly interrupted her, and said, "I was abrupt and asked casually." ”

How can I inquire about other people's **? It was because I was not thoughtful and asked inappropriately.

With a turn of my gaze, I landed on the scrolls on the desk, and I quickly changed the subject, "Gu Liu, you can show me the map." ”

She unfolded the map on the table, and I quickly looked at it, the geographical location of Hengcheng and the surrounding landscapes.

This is not a map of the whole territory of Sealand, and the ones made are relatively rough, I want to see the kind of map that Yun Chu gave me, which can only be found in the Royal Palace of Sealand.

"What are the other scrolls?" I put down the map in my hand and became curious.

"Oh, put it together, I took it in my hand, it's the blueprint of the dart game when it was being built."

"I'll see." I took the drawing, opened it and saw the layout at a glance, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and after a closer look, I couldn't help but admire it secretly.

"This drawing was also drawn by your mother?" I motioned for Gu Liu to look at the layout map.

"No, it's my father." Gu Liu's face turned red and said in a low voice, "A long time ago, you saw that the pages were yellowed. ”

At a lunch in the side hall, both the host and Ji Jiu and I were a little absent-minded.

When it was approaching evening, the sky suddenly changed, Ji Jiu walked to the window, looked at the gloomy sky, turned to look at Gu Liu and asked, "If it rains heavily, will it affect the mountain road out of Hengcheng?" ”

Gu Liu put down the chopsticks in his hand and glanced at Tiandao: "Brother Lin, what you are asking is whether there will be a landslide on the mountain road?" ”

"Big brother, we can't go out in a carriage, no matter how bad the road conditions are, we will also walk."

"Walking is a lot less restrictive than a horse-drawn carriage."

Gu Liu took a few steps closer to me and said: "Xiaolin, I won't let you use it, I told the captain of the guard, when you get out of the city, I will find an excuse for the bodyguard, and I will add one more carriage to the dart bureau, and I will agree with you to meet at a meeting place after leaving the city." “

She said to Ji Jiu again: "Brother Lin, don't worry, there are few times when it rains heavily in Hengcheng, and a little light rain will not let the mountain road collapse, you can rest assured." ”

I was silent for a few seconds, and said to Gu Liu: "How can I trouble you like this, don't you have to put down the matter of the dart game to escort it personally, we can't afford it." “

Gu Liusheng blushed and said, "What you just said is a friend, since you are a friend, you shouldn't care so much." "The carriages of the dart bureau have a purpose," Ji Jiu opened his mouth and said, "Gu Dart Master, it is better to modify the carriage we sit in and make it look like a dart board." “

Ji Jiu smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to escort it personally, but if we are allowed to go on the road in the name of a dart game, there may be less trouble along the way." ”

Gu Liu groaned: "If that's the case, I would have a better note, it just so happens that another dart bureau in Hengcheng has just escorted a batch of goods from Sealand here, and the other party's carriage is under the banner of the dart bureau in the capital of Sealand." "Of course, the big boss here is indeed from the national capital, which is equivalent to a branch of a dart bureau in the national capital, and I have a good relationship with the master, why don't I go and talk about it, your carriage will be converted into their appearance, just in the name of returning to the national capital, do you think this will work?!"

As soon as the words fell, I couldn't help but agree and say yes.

This is more secure and convenient than the plan we thought of, and under the banner of returning to the capital of the country, there will be a lot less trouble along the way.

Ji Jiu also smiled and nodded: "Master Gu, you are very thoughtful. "It's just that in this way, because of our affairs, you not only owe the favor of the captain of the guard in Hengcheng, but also owe us to another dart game."

Gu Liu waved his hand happily and said, "Hugh wants to say this, Xiaolin, there are many places in Hengcheng where I can help." "So, it doesn't matter who owes whom, maybe they will have something to ask me the next day, you put ten thousand hearts, there is no reason to embarrass me."

Hey, what should I say, she insisted!

Ji Jiu and I glanced at each other, and finally agreed that Gu Liu would go out again and arrange the rest

The next morning, just after dawn, the streets of the city were a little wet from the rain last night, but I knew that as soon as the sun came out, the rain would be immediately dried without a trace.

Ji Jiu and I changed the clothes that Gu Dart Master found for us, and together with the government's grain transportation team, we sat in the car and prepared to leave the city.

When the carriage walked through the streets of the city, we could all feel the atmosphere completely different from the previous two days, and there were almost half fewer people walking on the streets.

Ji Jiu sat in the car and whispered to me: "Xiaolin, when we see the people from that dart bureau later, if it seems reliable, we will follow it for a few more days." ”

"If we sense that something is wrong, we just need to go out of the territory of Hengcheng, and we will try our best to find a way to get out."

"That's for sure."

When I went out of the city, even though I knew that Gu Liu had already opened the joints, I was still a little nervous, but fortunately, the process was relatively smooth.

When we arrived at the agreed place outside the city, we got down from the carriage and waited there, where the steward and our coachman drove the modified carriage out of the city with the dart bureau in the national capital, and divided into two groups.

Ji Jiu and I waited in the pavilion on the side of the mountain road, he was sitting, and I was leaning on the railing to look in the direction of Hengcheng.

After about an hour, I finally saw a team that was vaguely a dart game, coming towards us!
