Chapter 177: A dilemma
After more than ten days, the two men's bodies were almost neat, but Fang Xiao didn't make any progress at all.
Gu Pan didn't say when he would leave, he had the intention of setting up camp here, Fang Xiao was really anxious.
When he was at a loss, Li Rui helped him.
It turned out that there was suddenly a big guest coming from the mountain, and Li Rui said that it was inconvenient to keep a few more people.
As soon as she said that, several people had no choice but to leave.
There must be something that people don't want to do with these few people, even if they mix well here, they are still outsiders.
Fang Xiao's heart suddenly bloomed.
Early the next morning, Li Rui sent someone to send them down the mountain.
When they entered the city, it was already dusk, so they found an inn in the city.
According to Fang Xiao's meaning, he wanted to be with Gu Pan, and by the way, he whispered.
As a result, when the people went upstairs, they closed the door and stopped him from the door, so he could only turn around and follow Guan Xingji into the house.
When he entered the door, he sighed: "Why has it been so many days, and this anger has not disappeared?" ”
Guan Xingji said: "She has suffered a lot along the way, so you can let her go." ”
This person had been watching a good show, and suddenly changed to a very serious appearance to speak, without making fun of him, without gloating, Fang Xiao was very strange, and looked at him in some surprise.
Guan Xingji said again: "There are many royal rights and wrongs, she is this kind of character, she went back to the capital with you, you can't bully her anymore, you have to protect her well." ”
There was a meaning of entrustment in these words, Fang Xiao nodded with a smile: "If you don't know." I really thought you two were brother and sister. Speaking of this, he suddenly tasted something: "Are you leaving?" ”
Guan Xingji nodded: "It's already a lot safer here, and when I get to the next city, I won't be on the same road with you anymore." “
Fang Xiao nodded.
These days share joys and sorrows, and this brotherhood cannot be erased. The breakup is imminent, although there is melancholy, but it will not be forced, each has its own world.
But I was more or less reluctant in my heart, for a while. The two of them were muffled and did not speak.
After a while, Guan Xingji patted Fang Xiao's shoulder and smiled, "Is it okay for Ming'er to get drunk?" ”
Fang Xiao also smiled: "I'm sure you drunk me first." ”
Guan Xingji squeezed his eyes: "Wouldn't that be good." It's a good idea for you. She can serve you. ”
Fang Xiao also laughed: "It's still brother, you know my heart." ”
When he laughed, he didn't notice a flash of sadness on Guan Xingji's face.
Guan Xingji was worried about them, he hoped that Fang Xiao could protect Gu Pan and protect himself. He remembered a conversation he had with her not long ago. I sighed inwardly. But since this is her own path. That would have to be her own.
The next day. The three of them got up early, went downstairs to eat, and were ready to go on the road after eating.
Ate half of it. I just heard that there was some noise outside.
The three of them looked out.
Their inn was facing the county government, and early in the morning, as soon as the government door opened, many people walked out.
Behind these people, there will be officials scolding and scolding people to drive people away: "Hurry up!" If you commit something, you can still be let out, why are you still grinding when you encounter such a big good thing? Get out of here! ”
It turned out to be the release of prisoners.
The shopkeeper greeted the officer: "Li Tou, why is it so early today?" Come and warm up with a bowl of porridge. Hey? How did you let all the prisoners go? ”
Then Li Tou was not polite, and came in and sat down: "Master Tu of Daliang City knows each other, right?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "The former Yushi Tu who told the old man to return to his hometown? The son is the Tu family of the prefect?
"Exactly." Li Tou nodded: "The old man was killed by thieves a few days ago, and now it has been found out that it was the bandits from our Xiaoliangshan." ”
The shopkeeper was surprised: "The thief is so bold! ”
As soon as the three words of Xiaoliangshan came out, the three people who were eating on the side immediately pricked up their ears.
Li Tou said: "At first, the news was still pressing, and we didn't know. In the middle of the night last night, the bandit soldiers of the Tu Prefect's Mansion entered our Xiaoliang City, and only then did we inform our county master. Tell us to prepare cells for the thieves, and don't that make room for the thieves? ”
The shopkeeper was even more surprised: "Bandits? “
Li Tou nodded and said, "I went up the mountain in the middle of the night." ”
The shopkeeper said, "So urgent? ”
Li Tou said: "No, I guess it's done now." This time it's ruthless, these bandits are going to be annihilated in one fell swoop. He was still chattering: "It's true, it's not good to offend anyone, you want to offend the prefect and cause trouble for us"
I hope they can't listen to the rest of the words anymore.
No wonder Li Rui asked them to leave, saying that there were big guests coming. It should have known the rumors in advance and specially arranged for them to avoid it.
Guan Xingji immediately put down the bowl and went back to the room.
Waiting for Fang Xiao and Gu Pan to go up, seeing that he had already carried the package, they walked out.
"Where are you going?" Fang Xiao grabbed him.
Guan Xingji said: "Naturally, I went back to the mountain to help." ”
Gu Pan immediately said, "I'll go too." ”
Fang Xiao frowned and said, "What are you messing up again?" ”
"Anyway, they saved me, I ate and drank for so many days with them, and there was trouble in the mountains, how could I not go back." Guan Xingji looked at Gu Pan: "Don't go, old man, you keep going, I'll go alone." ”
Gu Pan said: "How can that be?" Haven't we been saved? Didn't eat and drink in vain? Why can't I go? ”
Guan Xingji said: "I was originally a thief, so naturally I got it, and your identities are different." He didn't say more, and hugged his fists: "Let's say goodbye here, cherish all the way." With that, he strode out.
Gu Pan shouted, "Wait for me!" ”
She only took two steps before she was grabbed by Fang Xiao: "What's the use of you going?" ”
She scratched her head and looked at him: "Your identity, I don't blame you if you don't go." He is the prince, how can he help the thief kill the officers and soldiers, but her gaze is firm: "But I, I have to go, let go, if you stop me"
She didn't say anything later, but Fang Xiao understood. His hand loosened, and looking into her gaze, he knew that she had to go. If you stop her, I'm afraid that I will really lose her, and I don't want to see her smile at myself again in this life.
He was stunned, and she had already walked out.
On the one hand, there is the law of the country, and on the other hand, there is personal friendship, Fang Xiao suddenly fell into a dilemma.
Her skills may be a little help, but in the melee, most of them are difficult to protect.
She takes her life so seriously, and she is willing to die for others?
Is it for the flies? He suddenly hated it, so let her go and die! It's good that she's not there, and he doesn't have so many worries.
Thinking like this, he went downstairs, but his body was uncontrollable, and he ran towards Xiaoliangshan.
After running a few steps, he suddenly stopped again and went back again. (To be continued.) )
