The climate in Shuzhong is very different from that in Suzhou.

Today's fog has not completely dissipated until noon. Even the widest street in the more prosperous towns is uneven, uphill, downhill, uphill, downhill, and the carriage is slow to go.

The feeling here is lazy, full of a completely different atmosphere from Jiangnan, even if you can see the ruins everywhere, but passers-by turn a blind eye, as if they don't even bother to clean up and rebuild. Itritong Guò watched from the window on the side of the car, thinking about how to quickly restore the place to life, maybe it would be a good choice to reopen the ancient tea horse road from Shu to Tibet.

"Mr. Yi, there is someone in the largest Fengxian Pavilion in the city who is sitting in the hall practicing medicine, this person ...... Subordinates know. The horse walked slowly, and a soldier outside the car leaned over and whispered. Yi Cui remembered him, he was one of the captains sent to protect him after he entered Shu, his surname was Chen, but everyone called him Ah Chai.

Hearing the hesitation in Ah Chai's tone, Yi Cui said lightly: "It seems to be someone you don't like very much?" ”

"It's Mr. Songzhai, Wen Shuyang." Zhang Suiming's "imperial doctor", when Zhang Suiming was seriously ill, he slipped faster than a rabbit, and it turned out that he ran back to his hometown in Shuzhong.

Zhang Suiming's power has long been wiped out, but since he has met such an "important" remnant, he can't help but take a look, so Yi Cui hooked his lips: "You go and take a look, if you think it's convenient, bring him back." ”

"Bring back" is the same as "seize".

Ah Chai happily replied "yes", he almost died at the hands of this quack, he was very disdainful of this person's abduction, and now it is the time for him to show his skills. After two years of military polishing, Ah Chai is no longer the impulsive boy he was at the beginning, he was originally traveling in casual clothes, and it was very convenient to take two comrades who were guarding Yi Cui to pretend to come to drink tea, and sit slowly in a corner of the lobby to chat, wanting to listen to the movement first.

Wen Shuyang was talking in the center of the hall, he hadn't seen him for two years, his eloquence was better, his complexion was ruddy, his white beard was fluttering, he was really like an immortal, and it seemed that he was living a good life. But Ah Chai found that his eyes glanced to the left from time to time, as if there was something to remember. Following his gaze, he saw a young man dressed as a red scarf sitting alone in the corner, sitting precariously looking ahead, without saying a word.

The young man had a dark complexion, looking at the grade of his armor, his official position was not small, but he did not have a trace of battlefield blood, he was very immature, and Ah Chai had never seen it.

Could it be that someone dares to pretend to be a Red Turban Army to deceive?

This is another big case, thinking that he may be today, Achai can't help but get excited.

Suddenly, the young man stood up, he left with his sword, and before leaving, he seemed to glance at Wen Shuyang inadvertently, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then stepped out of the threshold. When the young man left, Wen Shuyang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, he made a casual gesture, and the attendants he brought understood, two of them pretended to go out to call a car, but in fact they walked quickly in the direction of the young man in armor.

Seeing this, Ah Chai whispered to the two comrades: "You guard Wen Shuyang, I'll go over and take a look." The comrades understood, pretending to continue drinking tea and chatting, Achai immediately covered his stomach and pretended to be a wolf who wanted to be relieved. When he turned into an alley, he immediately clinged to the wall, secretly observing the movements of the two attendants in front of him. After waiting for a moment, Fang lazily walked out and followed the two of them at a distance that was not far or close, and would not be detected.

The young man and his two attendants turned around and finally into a dark alley in the northeast corner of the city. The attendant guarded at one end of the alley, Ah Chai looked around, flashed and entered from the other side of the alley, where there happened to be a very tall camphor, Ah Chai is a good hand at climbing trees, swishing twice quietly up the tree, just able to see the movement in the alley.

The young man in the armor was an old man smoking a dry cigarette, who didn't look good, but the young man lowered his head very respectfully and lowered his voice: "It's clear, it's Mr. Songzhai, Zhang Suiming's remnant." ”

The young man's voice was not small, as if he was deliberately made to hear, Ah Chai was shocked, and said in his heart, how did this person know that Wen Shuyang was the remnant of Zhang Suiming, could it be that he was really a spy secretly sent by the Red Turban Army to clear the enemy? But why had he never heard General Zhao mention it? Isn't it Zhao Jiang's people?

The two attendants at the mouth of the alley who heard the young man say this were also shocked, and the young man continued to ask, "Did you tell the general to arrest him immediately?" ”

"Don't startle the snake first, and then act tonight," the old man said slowly, he laughed twice, "Uncle Wen will definitely not leave this city today, then tonight is his death!" ”

"Somebody's out there!" The old man suddenly shouted, Ah Chai heard the sound of the tip of the knife rubbing against the wall, and then the two attendants ran away in a panic, thinking that they were going to inform Uncle Wen to leave the city. Ah Chai couldn't help but be annoyed, and said in his heart that this young man and the old man are so laymen, how can they discuss important matters in a place like the dark alley, and they are very unvigilant to let the enemy hear.

He was thinking about whether to show up now and ask which army these two belonged to, when the young man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his voice suddenly became immature: "I'm scared to death, I'm really afraid that they will find out that we are fakes." ”

What the?! Fake?!

Ah Chai squatted on the tree dumbfounded.

The old man said slowly: "It's done, Wen Shuyang will get out of this city today." In another place, he can be deceived again, girl, your good plan. ”

"People can't help it, the Red Turban Army stationed in this city is all fresh faces, and I can't speak. didn't want Mr. Songzhai to continue to be a quack doctor and harm people, so he had to stun a lone school captain, and let Ah Yan pretend to be a red turban army to arrest people, and use this method to drive him out. ”

What the? Is the boy a fake? This new voice was that of a young woman, crisp and pleasant, so familiar, that Ah Chai's ears were hot when he heard it.

The old man said, "Then tie him up and hand him over when an acquaintance comes." ”

"How can this be, you forgot that the Great Witch was almost scared crazy by us! And Shuzhong is the lair of the Wen family, there are only three of us, so it's too risky! ”

What big witch? Ah Chai looked dazed, and heard the old man sneer, saying that her plan was half-hearted, and then the girl was embarrassed to defend and ask for forgiveness. After hearing this voice a lot, Achai had a flash of inspiration, remembered whose voice it was, and then almost fell from the tree.

It's Miss Gu, this is Miss Gu's voice!

How could she be with an old man and a teenager, and she also stunned the captain of the Red Turban Army, she had to be the enemy of the Red Turban Army? How is that possible? What happened to her?

Ah Chai's position is not high, he doesn't know the cause and effect of Gu Chaoge's departure for two years, and he doesn't know that half of the reason why Yi Cui came to Shu is because of him. He was shocked and uncertain about all kinds of conspiracy theories in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, although he really wanted to recognize Miss Gu, but he still remembered his duties as a school captain. So he didn't dare to take his head, and when the three of them left, he quietly slipped down from the tree, and didn't care about returning to Fengxian Pavilion, but hurried to report to Yi Cui.

At that time, Yi Cui had just come out of a caravan's guild, and he had a brief meeting with the head of the meeting to discuss some things, and the head of the meeting personally sent him out, and saw Achai coming in a hurry. Seeing Ah Chai's panicked expression, Yi Cui frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Help me get into the car, and I'll talk about it later." ”

Ah Chai Shengsheng swallowed the words in his mouth: "Yes, my lord." Because of his legs, it was inconvenient for Yi Cui to get into the car, Ah Chai carefully helped him get into the car, and waited for Yi Cui to say goodbye to the head of the horse gang, and the carriage drove away from here, so he hurriedly stepped forward: "Mr. Yi, Fang Cai's subordinates have discovered a big incident!" ”

"What kind of big event made you so flustered, so that the people of the Ma Gang saw it, and thought that the Red Turban Army was about to be in a catastrophe." In the carriage, Yi Cui's voice was faint, not a reprimand, but he heard Ah Chai's cheeks hot: "Yes, the subordinates know, and the subordinates are reckless." ”

"Okay, let's talk about it, what's a big deal."

Ah Chai remembered Yi Cui's instructions just now, calmed down and slowly explained the ins and outs of the future, he started from finding the young man in the Fengxian Pavilion, from tracking to discovering the conversation between the young man and the old man, until the attendant left in a hurry, and finally talked about the girl's voice.

"Mr. Yi knew that his subordinates used to be under Zhang Suiming, who was rescued by Dr. Gu during the Changzhou Alliance, and later reunited in the small city, because of Dr. Gu, he was selected from the prisoner camp to be a soldier, and worked hard all the way to his current position. The subordinates are grateful to Miss Gu, and they will never forget Miss Gu's voice, and they will never hear it wrong. ”

Ah Chai lowered his head and babbled a lot, thinking that he had spoken very clearly, and he was also calm and cautious, but there was no response from the carriage for a long time. Ah Chai lowered his head and waited for a while, but before he heard Mr. Yi's answer, he felt very strange and couldn't help but look up.

This glance just happened to crash into Itsu's eyes that were burning with rage.

It turned out that Yi Cui had already lifted the curtain from the carriage, he stared at Ah Chai with a pair of eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting for breath, Ah Chai had never seen the appearance of Lord Yi who acted calmly and indifferently, and he couldn't help but be frightened and said: "My lord, Lord Yi!" "Did he do something wrong?

"Why didn't you report such an important matter earlier!" So much nonsense! Yi Cui raised his hand, and the palm of his hand suddenly beckoned to Ah Chai, but in the end he didn't fight, Ah Chai didn't do anything wrong after all, and he didn't have the right to use lynching.

It's just that...... Yi Cui glared at Ah Chai fiercely, and his anger was uncontrollable: "The people that General Zhao said to me are all clever and capable people, and I don't think I can do much clever and capable of it!" ”

He, did he do something wrong? Ah Chai was dazed and at a loss.

Yi Cui glared at him angrily: "Don't lead the way yet!" ”

"Go, go to Fengxian Pavilion?" Ah Chai was a little confused.

Yi Cui finally couldn't help but knock on his head: "Go find Gu Chaoge!" If you can't find her this time, I'm the only one who asks! ”

Yes? Oh!

Ah Chai suddenly woke up: "The subordinates will lead the way immediately, but it's just ...... Mr. Yi will not cure Dr. Gu's sin, she stunned our military captain, there is a reason for the incident, and there are extenuating circumstances. ”

Seeing that he was still here, his mother-in-law and mother were talking nonsense, Yi Cui's jaw tightened, and his teeth grinded so tensively: "Yet, no, lead, road!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Ah Chai hurriedly led the way, he returned to the dark alley the same way, the result can be imagined, there is no one there for a long time, Yi Cui's gaze at him can almost kill, Ah Chai sneered: "Doctor Gu must be in this city, and his subordinates will definitely be able to find her before dusk today, but I also ask Mr. Yi to dissipate his anger and not treat Doctor Gu's crimes." ”

"Who said, 'I will heal, her, and sin?" Itsuri took a deep breath to calm his anxiety, he just didn't want to talk to this melon boy below, if his legs were good, he must have been in a hurry to turn around in place. Knowing that she was in this city, but he couldn't find anyone, he couldn't see her, Yi Cui was full of irritability, irritability, don't mess with Lao Tzu.

"Are you sure you're hearing her?" Yi Cui remembered something, and suddenly stared at Ah Chai with burning eyes: "It's better, if not, I'll punish you!" ”

Ah Chai hurriedly said: "My subordinates are convinced! ”

"Well, before dusk today, dig three feet into the ground and find her for me and bring her here." Itri pointed to the back hall of the only assassin's mansion in the city.

"Subordinates take orders!"

"Wait a minute," Izri thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Don't tell her that I'm looking for her." ”

What? Achai wondered, in the same way, he didn't know the complicated relationship between Dr. Gu and Master Yi. He only saw Master Yi rubbing the strange pink purse on his waist for a while, and then raised his head and instructed him: "Let's just say that there is an adult in the Red Turban Army who is sick and is recuperating in the Assassin's Mansion. ”

After a pause, he instructed again: "Remember, don't say that this person is me, remember to remember!" ”

Ah Chai asked stupidly: "Who is it then?" ”

"Song Wuyi." Yi Cui was careless, and casually reported the name of Song Wuyi, who was working hard in Yangzhou. Ah Chai, who knew nothing about it, firmly remembered the instructions and took people to lead the order.

Although the Red Turban Army's control of this city is not enough, with Achai's specific description, the combination of an old man, a girl and a teenager is very eye-catching. In addition, when the people heard that they were begging the doctor to save people's lives urgently, they were very enthusiastic to provide information, and Ah Chai didn't need to search door to door, so he found the small shop where Gu Chaoge was staying before sunset.

At that time, Gu Chaoge was teaching Ah Yan to read "Su Wen", when suddenly a group of soldiers rushed in, so frightened that Ah Yan jumped up, pulled out the firewood knife behind his waist and shouted: "What do you want to do!" Don't think about touching my sister! ”

"Miss Gu, it's me!" A man who looked like a commander in the group of soldiers walked in separately from the crowd, and he had an old scar on the right cheek, but it could not hide his youth and heroism. Ah Yan held a firewood knife and watched him vigilantly, while Lao Wu, who went out to feed the horses, hurriedly rushed in with a knife and shouted: "Girl, there are bad people, run!" ”

"Uncle Wu, Ah Yan, it's from the Red Turban Army, and you're not here to arrest us, right?" Gu Chaoge looked at the chief uncertainly, seeing the excitement and eagerness on his face, she did feel that he was familiar, so she frowned and thought, "Are you ......?"

"I'm Ah Chai! You saved me in Changzhou, and you met me in a small town, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so good today! Ah Chai eagerly identified himself to her, and his eyes glanced at the dimmer sunlight outside the window from time to time, Gu Chaoge thought for a while before remembering him, but Ah Chai couldn't wait: "Doctor Gu, it's too late, I must take you to the Assassin's Mansion before sunset, please forgive Ah Chai for being rude!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and brought someone to come and frame her in person.

This was the second time she had been carried away by soldiers. Gu Chaoge was not so afraid, and also signaled Lao Wu and Ah Yan not to act rashly, she turned her head and asked Ah Chai: "What are you doing in the Assassin Mansion?" ”

"There's an adult who is sick, and I want you to see him before sunset!"

A must go before sunset? is so strict, could it be that it has reached the critical juncture of nine deaths and a lifetime? Gu Chaoge's nerves suddenly became highly tense, and she turned back to Lao Wu and Ah Yan and ordered, "Don't worry, I'll go back when I go!" Then he immediately turned his head and asked Ah Chai: "Who is it, and what kind of disease does it have?" Describe the symptoms to me so that I can be prepared. ”

As she spoke, she was already being helped onto her horse. The carriage was too slow, Ah Chai rode directly to take her faster, and listening to her questions, Ah Chai said that he didn't know anything, so he could only answer with a weak heart: "I heard that it is Lord Song Wuyi, as for what kind of disease and what kind of symptoms, Ah Chai doesn't know." ”

Brother Song? Gu Chaoge was shocked, she didn't expect that Brother Song would be here, the news was blocked, could it be that he was secretly recuperating and very strict? She became anxious: "Ah Chai, hurry up, take me quickly!" ”

That's what Ah Chai was waiting for, his riding skills were excellent, and he didn't hurt others when he took Gu Chaoge to speed on the street. When he arrived at the Thorn Shi Mansion and didn't need his guidance, Gu Chaoge hurriedly asked where Brother Song was, Ah Chai was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to the hall in the backyard.

"In the hall?" Gu Chaoge was stunned, not in the bedroom? Could it be that it is not very strict?

She walked forward suspiciously, there were no maids in the Thorn Mansion, there was no smell of medicine, and no one was busy because of anyone's illness. Only a few guards stood in front of the hall, and when Gu Chaoge entered, they stopped Ah Chai outside, which seemed to be Yi Cui's intention.

"Miss Gu," seeing her lonely back, Achai, who was stopped, couldn't help but remind, "Be careful." "Master Yi looks angry, Miss Gu must not be punished by him.

"Be careful...... What the? Gu Chaoge looked at Ah Chai who was blocked, and his worried expression, and suddenly realized that maybe no one was sick at all, she swallowed her saliva: "Brother Song, is it really inside?" The soldiers at the door did not answer her, they said expressionlessly, "Please ask Doctor Gu to go in quickly." ”

At this time, the daylight was already very dim, and the sunset was about to set, Gu Chaoge looked back at the hall without a single candlelight, only to feel that there was a black hole inside, like the big mouth of a monster, about to devour her. She cheered herself up in her heart, she was a former medical officer of the Red Turban Army, and no one would be unpleasant in the short term, and she would take the opportunity to embarrass her.

Definitely not.

She squeezed the small pocket on her waist, carefully stepped into the threshold step by step, and looked around: "Song, Brother Song?" ”

No one answered.

Gu Chaoge swallowed his saliva, cautiously took out the fish skin dagger from his waist, and stepped into it completely with two feet, the hall was quiet, except for the tables, chairs, landscape paintings and other furnishings, as well as the two sides of the hall hidden in the dark, there seemed to be no one.

"Brother Song?" Gu Chaoge plucked up his courage and took a few steps forward.

At this moment, the door was suddenly creaked shut from behind, and the light suddenly dimmed. Gu Chaoge's heart jumped, and he immediately turned around and rushed towards the gate. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the darkness and grabbed Gu Chaoge's wrist violently. Before she could scream, she was dragged into someone's arms with a strong force, and then the soft lip flap pressed hard, sealing her mouth that wanted to scream.

Who!

Gu Chaoge panicked, his unrestrained arm was raised high, and the fishskin dagger given by Yi Cui was firmly pinched in his hand, and he stabbed this person in the back fiercely!

"Uh-huh." This person snorted in pain, and the familiar voice made Gu Chao singer loosen, and the dagger fell to the ground. The smell of blood spread immediately, and at the same time, the person let go of her restraints, only to hear the crisp sound of something wooden on the ground, and the person fell to the ground.

"I haven't seen you for two years, and you've done this to me?"

The daylight was completely gone, and a faint voice sounded in the black hall, mixed with the sharp wheezing from the pain, and the smell of blood. Hearing this voice, what else didn't he understand, Gu Chaoge knelt in front of him almost suddenly, and his voice was full of crying: "I didn't mean to, but, but why do you want to scare me like this, Brother Yi, woo woo!" ”
