Chapter 042: Charcoal in the Snow
said that Gong Xiru and others went out of the city gate, and they were originally on the official road all the way, but on the second day, for some reason, the group disappeared out of thin air. www。 しwxs520。 com
The person in charge of the secret tracking went back to report to Gong Yunrui and said: "Second young master, the little ones have followed all the way, last night they clearly set up a tent and slept, we didn't dare to blink our eyes all night, but when we woke up in the morning, there was no movement, and later I found that everyone ----was gone." ”
Gong Yunrui slammed the table angrily, "There are so many people, you can still lose them, so what am I doing with raising you waste?" ”
The man was too frightened to speak.
Gong Yunrui thought for a moment and shouted, "Jiang Yan." ”
Behind the door came a woman dressed in black, although the woman looked young, she already had an amazing appearance, but the latter's face was frosty, and she was not easy to mess with at first glance.
Man Jiangyan arched his hand: "Childe." ”
Gong Yunrui looked at her and said, "You quickly go and check the whereabouts of that pedestrian, it is impossible for people to disappear out of thin air, after finding it, how to know." ”
Man Jiangyan clasped his hands into fists and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates know." ”
"Go ahead." Gong Yunrui waved her hand and motioned for her to step back.

Due to the recent shower, the water level of the Lu River has risen, and the water flow is even more turbulent.
Zhu Mo frowned and looked at Gong Xiru: "Changyan, are we really going to take the waterway?"
Bai Lang stretched out his hand and sensed it, and then said: "It's been a headwind for the past few days, the waterway is farther than the land, plus the retrograde, I'm afraid that this road will be delayed for four or five days." ”
Gong Sheng frowned even more, "In order not to let the second young master suspect that we are actually taking the waterway, we only have a lot of water and dry food, and they are bound to catch up one day after another, and we will win one step ahead of them, and now we ----"
He shook his head with a sigh and looked at Gong Xiru: "Second Young Master, in order to prevent trouble, we took the waterway, and the boats in this area were all destroyed by him, and now the fastest ship will not arrive until a day later." ”
Gong Xiru stood by the river and stood still for a moment before he said slowly: "We are one day ahead of them, and now as long as the boat arrives and goes on the river, I have my own way to get rid of them." ”
Zhu Mo said to his entourage again: "You go and urge again, let the boat family send it quickly, one day is too long, be sure to let him deliver it within half a day." ”
The entourage nodded and was about to leave, but heard a delicate voice say, "A few of you want to take a boat, right?" ”
Everyone looked over, but it was a person who looked like a little boy with rice and face, the child was dressed in white cloth and looked very ordinary.
Zhu Mo looked at him vigilantly: "Who are you?" ”
Xiao Tong smiled: "Don't panic, I was ordered by my master to help a few people, if you believe me, then please come with me." ”
Zhu Mo and Bai Lang looked at each other, and looked at Gong Xiru again, Zhu Mo said: "Changyan, this person is too strange, I'm afraid it's a trap, it's better to tie him up first and ask where their people are hiding." ”
Gong Xiru's eyes looked directly at the child like a torch, and after a long time, he arched his hand and said, "Then there is Lao in front to lead the way." ”
Everyone else was shocked, and Bai Lang hurriedly said: "Changyan, I agree with Zhu Mo's words, this person can't be trusted." ”
Gong Xiru shook his head slightly, "I'm responsible for everything, let everyone take their things and go." ”
The boy made a please, whistling and leading the way.
Bai Lang understood Gong Xiru, the latter was not an impulsive person, there must be a reason for doing this, so he thought about it and said to the servants behind: "Everyone bring their luggage, let's go." ”
Zhu Mo wanted to say more, but among the three, Gong Xiru and Bai Lang were the smartest, he stared at Xiao Tong's back and quietly hid the dagger in his cuff.
Since the two of them have decided, he will follow, and even if any accident happens, with his and Gong Xiru's skills, it is not that he has no ability to resist.
So more than 20 people followed the child.
Gong Xiru always kept a distance of two feet from Xiao Tong, Bai Lang walked beside him and asked quietly, "Changyan, why do you want to follow this person?" Although he has no martial arts, he does not have the slightest fear in the face of so many of us, he is not an ordinary child at all. ”
Gong Xiru smiled, "Who said it was an ordinary child who appeared at this time." Since he said that it was the order of his master, then I am curious that this master knows our difficulties and can still lend a helping hand at this time, and his purpose is really to make people think deeply. ”
"Then why are we still following?" Bai Lang wondered.
"I don't know, I don't think he has any ill will towards us." Gong Xiru said the most irresponsible words for the first time ever, and he relied on his feelings.
Bai Lang looked at him in a daze, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.
But fortunately, Gong Xiru's feeling was not wrong, because Xiao Tong took all of them around the river for a long time, and finally came downstream, and it was the four boats that came into view.
"It's just spring, it's still cold in the morning and evening, there are things on the boat to keep out the cold, as well as dry food and water, I have to go back to resume my life, a few people can sail away at any time, and I leave."
Bai Lang and Zhu Mo checked and didn't find anything wrong.
Gong Xiru stopped the child and asked, "Can you tell me who your master's surname is, but someone I know?" ”
Xiao Tong tilted his head and thought about it, "It's considered to be known, but it's not familiar, my master said, I owe you before, this time it's just a return or two, it's not enough to worry about it, so don't worry about it." ”
The child was already far away, and Gong Xiru was still standing in place and pondering.
Bai Lang walked over and said, "Changyan, we have lost a lot of time, let's go quickly." ”
Gong Xiru nodded slowly and followed on the boat.
It wasn't until the boat reached the middle of the water that the boy came out, smiled, turned around and ran away.
"Sister Weaving Fan, how am I doing in this matter? Yes, they didn't suspect anything at all, and they didn't know who was helping. Liang Yi scratched his head and said flatteringly.
Weaving Fan nodded with satisfaction, and took out two strings of copper coins to him: "Don't tell anyone about this matter, otherwise you know the consequences, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I can find you and pick your skin." ”
Liang Yi excused himself and didn't take the copper coin, and his eyes rolled slightly: "Sister Weaving Fan, it's not a matter of a day or two that we have known each other, what else do I collect your money for, wouldn't it be a birth, there will be such a thing in the future, even if you look for me, I won't take your money." ”
Weaving Fan half-squinted at him, smiled, and a loud shudder hit Liang Kai's head, "You think I don't know your little abacus, you have followed those ruffians all day long to eat the last meal and not the next, you want me to intercede for you in front of the eldest lady to keep you." ”
Liang Yi smiled, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth: "Sister Weaving Fan, since you know, then help me, you know, if it weren't for the fact that life couldn't go on, where would I follow those ruffians and hooligans, you and Sister Zhiyu are living a good life now, help me too, I will definitely repay you and Sister Zhiyu for your great kindness in the future." ”
Weaving Fan pondered for a while, and took a breath: "In this way, you and I have known each other, and I am not that kind of person, I will tell the eldest lady about this matter first, see what she means, and then I will inform you, I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not." ”
