When Fu Ming and Shen Du and their party returned to Jingzhao Inner City, the sky was already dark, and street lamps had been lit on Xuanping Street, and the Gu family's gate house was reflected very clearly.

The Gu family in the twilight was particularly quiet. It wasn't until the porter saw Gu Chong'an, who looked solemn, that he hurriedly opened the door, greeted guests, and delivered newspapers, the constantly moving candlelight and figures, and the continuous sound of human voices, that the entire Gu family seemed to come alive.

Gu Chong'an instructed his subordinates to send Fu Shi and Gu Yan back to the backyard to settle down, and then looked at Fu Ming and Shen Du who were following behind him, and said, "Lord Shen, please!" Ming'er, you can keep up! ”

After saying that, he took Shen Du and Fu Ming and walked straight to the Songling Courtyard. A group of three people only heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and the rest was silent.

After entering Jingzhao, Captain Chen Wei and a dozen or so tiger soldiers left with the corpses of some of the black-clothed people, and Shen Du came to the Gu family alone.

Compared with Gu Chong'an and Fu Ming's hurried steps, Shen Du's steps were much calmer. Although his footsteps moved quickly, he did not forget to watch the courtyard layout of the Gu family.

In the light of the lights, Shen Du didn't really see it, he only felt that between the steps and feet, all he saw were stone rockeries, which was very different from the powerful houses he had seen.

The powerful homes of Jingzhao are mostly interspersed with flowers and trees, pavilions, and clear water, so it seems that there are more rockeries of the Gu family.

However, Shen Du didn't think about the Gu family's arrangement anymore, because Gu Chongan and Fu Ming both stopped. It turned out that they had come to the front of a large courtyard, which was brightly lit, and the servants were waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and it was evident that the master of the courtyard was waiting for them.

At this time, Gu Zhan was already at home, and before Gu Chongan and the others arrived, a fast-paced servant rushed to Songling Courtyard and said what Gu Chongan and Fu Ming would do in the future.

Hearing the little girl's advice, Gu Zhan knew that something important must have happened. Last night, Gu Chongan came to Songling Courtyard and told him that he was going to take Fu Shi and others to Fuyuan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing this morning and spend the night in the temple, why did he come back suddenly? What happened?

When Gu Zhan saw Shen Du coming in together, his doubts deepened. Shen Du was in charge of the edict in Zhongshu Province, and Gu Zhan, as the secretary of the ministry, had a lot of official dealings with him.

However, the Gu family and Shen Du have no personal relationship, why did he come to the Gu family? Could it be related to An'er's sudden return home?

It's just that between meeting and greeting, Gu Zhan has all kinds of speculations in his heart. But he couldn't have imagined that Gu Chongan hurried back and encountered an ambush in Kongcui Mountain! And it just so happened that Fu Ming and Shen Du saved the Gu family in Kongcui Mountain!

After he listened to Gu Chongan's narration, his face changed. The important ministers of the court, who are usually happy and angry, have a solemn and cold expression at the moment.

Daring to ambush and kill the eldest son of the Gu family is equivalent to cutting off the bloodline of the Gu family, no matter how benevolent Gu Zhan is, there is anger in his heart.

"Are you sure those men in black are going for you?" Gu Zhan asked restrainedly, thinking of the incident where his granddaughter Gu Yan fell off the rockery earlier.

There were all kinds of unusual things about Gu Yan falling off the rockery, originally Gu Zhan thought it was nothing, but in a short period of time, an ambush happened. It seems that the signs at that time were repeated again, that is, there were masters in the shadows dealing with the Gu family, and the Gu family had hidden mortal enemies!

Yes, sworn enemy!

Gu Zhan could only think of these two words, if he wasn't a mortal enemy, why would he break the Gu family's bloodline?

However, when did the Gu family form a mortal enmity with others? As the patriarch of the Gu family, Gu Zhan has experienced and witnessed what has happened in the Gu family in recent decades, and he really can't think of who the mortal enemy is.

"Father, that's right, those men in black are here for me. If it weren't for Ming'er and Lord Shen arriving in time, our Gu family would definitely die. ”

Gu Chongan replied, thinking of the blood and dead bodies in the mountain col, he couldn't help but shudder, and his eyebrows gradually became cold.

No one can be calm and calm when facing death for the first time, and Gu Chong'an is not bad like this. The impact and change of this ambush on him was something that even he himself could not have predicted.

"So, Ming'er, why did you arrive in such a timely manner? Did you receive any news in advance? Gu Zhan quickly grasped the root of the problem, and looked at Fu Ming with sharp eyes.

"My nephew received the news and knew that there were bandits in Kongcui Mountain. Thinking that my uncle and aunt were going to Fuyuan Temple to offer incense, I wanted to secretly escort a ride in the name of patrolling......"

Fu Ming stiffened his head and said the words he had already thought of. The facts are indeed similar, except for one more cousin, Gu Yan.

It was impossible for Fu Ming to say Gu Yan at this time, although the matter of Kongcui Mountain was far beyond his expectations. But he believes that his cousin Gu Yan must not know about this change.

Maybe she knew there would be danger, but she certainly didn't expect such a fierce fight.

As for the potential dangers she knew, she didn't confess to her close relatives, there must be a reason, Fu Ming planned to tell her about it.

The identities of those men in black, he will definitely find out and avenge the dead brothers! - In the Kongcui Mountain, Gyeonggi Wei lost more than a dozen soldiers and wounded more than a dozen people.

Thinking of the man in black who escaped, Fu Ming's eyes flashed with a strong killing intent.

At this time, Shen Du added: "The Tiger Ben soldiers have been ordered to track down a group of Wang Yang thieves, and this official followed the clues to Kongcui Mountain, these black-clothed people are related to that gang of thieves, and the specific details of the Tiger Ben will continue to investigate." ”

With what he said, he explained why the Tiger Ben soldiers appeared so coincidentally in Kongcui Mountain, and solved the confusion for Fu Ming and others.

After saying this, Shen Du looked at Fu Ming and asked cautiously, "Vice General Fu, you personally fought with the leader of the man in black, can you find anything unusual?" ”

He followed Fu Ming to Gu's house just to know these details. The man in black who died in Kongcui Mountain was not his target, the man in black who escaped was related to the clues behind it, I don't know what Fu Mingke could see?

Listening to Shen Du's question, Fu Ming's heart was agitated, and his mind remembered the fight between the man in black before he fled. Unusual ...... Naturally, there is, but can you trust this Shen Du in front of you?

Fu Ming looked at Shen Du carefully, only to see that his forehead was wide and full of mountains, his long eyebrows were in his sideburns, his eyes were shining, and then he was sitting upright, and the silverfish bag on his waist did not shake at all.

This kind of Shen Du made Fu Ming inexplicably trust, and it was he who spoke: "The tricks of the man in black are very vicious, and there is no specific way, and the move is to put the opponent in a mortal enemy." I have heard others say that this kind of trick seems to be ...... Dead soldiers! ”

Fu Ming said at the end, unconsciously raising his voice. Before he went to Jingzhao, his grandfather Fu Tong and father Fu Huaide told him all kinds of things about Jingzhao, including the dead soldiers, which must be guarded against. The man in black gave him the feeling that he was a well-trained dead soldier!

Fu Ming has been in the army since he was a child, and his feelings for a person rarely make mistakes.

Hearing his words, Shen Du showed an expression of "sure enough", obviously prepared for this answer, Fu Ming's words just confirmed what he thought in his heart.

Gu Zhan and Gu Chong'an, who were on the side, looked extremely stiff when they heard Fu Ming's words.
