Gu Xing has been a little less sleepy since he woke up after falling asleep with a serious injury last time, and he has been a little less sleepy for no reason. I don't know if it was in that long frightening dream, remembering the past and present lives, or the disturbance of the long sleep that made him afraid to fall asleep, or dreaming.

So much so that today since the beginning of the morning, Zhanyan has rushed to Luoyang City, stopping and stopping all the way, trotting and leaping in three or two steps, and he does not feel tired. Later, the people of Luoyang shouted a tsunami, so lively, although some were hoarse, but they were still energetic.

Later, although it was because of the "harassment" of Lingling, he fled into Xiaque Road, and walked between life and death a few times, but he still did not have a trace of fatigue, but was a little more energetic.

Not only did the words of the old man in front of him give Gu Xingsheng hope to find out the truth, but it was also the pursuers who made him have to brace his spirit, until the black clouds overwhelmed the city and the storm passed, it was already midnight, and there was still no intention of stopping.

Perhaps, that dream was too real, pulling out too many past and memories. So much so that when Gu Xing occasionally thought of it, he would break out in a cold sweat.

At this time, Luoyang is also as usual, the bustling crowd just now has already returned home, closed the door, and only the sporadic candles are swaying through the window screen. The three of them walked through the long street, occasionally hearing the whispers of the people in the house, but it was only the short of the family, firewood, rice, oil and salt.

The old man had already made a direction, his eyes were exploring in the night, but it did not affect the speed of progress in the slightest, and the pair of legs that had walked through the mountains and rivers did not know how many mountains and rivers had stepped on the wet bluestone slabs, making a clicking sound.

There should have been no curfew tonight, but the wind and rain bombarded the people who should have been sleepless all night, and the city defense of the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army was also very interesting, and seeing that there was no one in Luoyang City, they began to patrol loyally.

The three of them walked between the long streets and short alleys, hiding in the low walls of the broken buildings, and the muffled sound of the forbidden soldiers wearing bright light armor because of the heavy trampling sounded in their ears from time to time, echoing endlessly.

The old man suddenly stopped, looked at a somewhat dazzling point of light in front of him, stretched out his hand and clenched his fist and said softly: "Someone is coming, hide first and then go." As the old man spoke, the three of them turned into a crack between the buildings.

This Luoyang arrangement extends in all directions, with the four holy arches as the center is divided into four avenues in the southeast and northwest main streets, divided into red dragons, Xuanhu, Xia Que and the tortoise as the street name code, has its own marks and meanings.

When Gu Xing first arrived in Luoyang, he was led by the Immortal Venerable, and entered the city from the north of the Dark Turtle Road, until the end of the Xuanhu Road One Penny Village. Therefore, although Gu Xing didn't know much about the layout of Luoyang City, the general direction was still clear and clear.

At this time, they hid between the two buildings not far from the entrance of Xuanlong Road, the buildings of the Later Tang Dynasty were mostly left over from the Tang Dynasty, and then after the baptism of war, they were repaired by the residents, although there were traces of war over the years, but the style was still the same.

The so-called flag windward exhibition, the store sign sunset is such a reason. Different from other states and counties that adapt measures to local conditions, Luoyang can be said to abide by the ancestral system of the pre-Tang Dynasty, everything is based on the classics of the pre-Tang Dynasty, and the successor of the pre-Tang Dynasty regards itself as the successor, so it has today's rank.

The width between the houses is about a zhang, which can accommodate two people walking side by side, and the long streets and avenues are all four cars and eight horses side by side, leading to all directions. Therefore, every festive season, all kinds of people come and go, and it is very lively. It's just that the late Tang Dynasty is chaotic, not like the first Tang Dynasty, and it is rare to celebrate the Duanyang Festival today.

Therefore, the people of Luoyang are also content, since they returned because of the rain, there is naturally no reason to emerge. The three of them live between the buildings, the old man lives in the back, Lingling is in the middle, and Gu Xing is the first. The old man wanted to move forward and change positions, but the footsteps and the point of light were getting closer and closer, so he could only give up.

When the threshold gradually turned into a halo and was still shaking, the three of them subconsciously squatted down, looking up at the candle flame that was disturbed by the night wind, and in the somewhat old paper cage, the rhythm of the man's running was undulating.

The man with the lantern passed by the hiding place of the three men, but he did not look at the three men, but hurried into the distance, not knowing what was urgent, and was already out of breath.

Judging from the sound of the footsteps, this person stepped on cloud boots instead of straw sandals, and should be the family members of rich and noble families.

Although there are no bandits in Luoyang City, there is no shortage of thieves. It is strange to say that a storm after a good season in the world pushed the people and took away the troubles, but there was no one who dared to block the road and rob.

The old man suddenly spoke: "Strange, it's really strange. ”

Gu Xing frowned when he heard this, "Old man, it's pitch black here, except for this person, there is only the Forbidden Army's city defense patrol team, what's strange?" ”

The old man hadn't spoken yet, but Ling Ling felt that Gu Xing was really a little stupid, so he explained: "Do you remember, how many forbidden city defenses we encountered along the way? ”

Gu Xing lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Ling Ling's face that was a little blurred in the dark, and said tentatively: "But the fourth team? ”

The old man didn't say anything, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his arms were folded in front of him, and he watched the two of them guess the puzzle with interest. Lingling Xu had the intention of teasing Gu Xing, and coughed lightly: "Naturally not, think about it again?" ”

Gu Xing didn't know that there was a fraud in it, so he continued to guess: "But the fifth team? ”

The old man suddenly laughed, although he didn't make a sound, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, "Young master, how can there be so many?" It's just two teams. ”

Gu Xing was stunned when he heard this, and then asked suspiciously: "But I obviously counted it, their steps were uniform, and the number of sounds should be the same, counting the hours when they ran not far from us, and then speculated, it shouldn't be two teams." ”

This far-reaching inference made the old man and Lingling both smile, but one laughed silently, and the other hid his face and chuckled, both looked at Gu Xing with suspicious eyes, and said clearly, look at this young man so cute.

Gu Xing still wanted to argue, Lingling directly covered the coffin and concluded, "The Houtang City Defense should have been four teams, divided into four main streets, and they would be changed every hour until dawn." But today is different, today is the Duanyang Festival, naturally there will be some relaxation, the previous four teams became two teams, and the two teams were split into four and a half teams, and then came to patrol. ”

Gu Xing slapped his thigh when he heard this, and suddenly said, "Then the first team just now is actually the previous half team, but they act separately, right?" So how can I be wrong? ”

The old man raised his hand and hurriedly stopped the two from continuing to argue, "The young master is not wrong, but the distance and time of this team and the half team are far apart, and the young master is only judging by experience, but he is negligent." ”

Gu Xing realized this, "That's the case, if you act according to your own experience, it will be on paper, preconceived, but you will be timid." If you can listen carefully and then judge, there will be a different result. ”

While thinking about it, Gu Xing nodded subconsciously, but he didn't expect Ling Ling to suddenly slap him on the shoulder and secretly say "not good". As soon as the words fell, the old man had already rushed out sideways, and it was already pitch black when there were any people carrying lanterns outside the alley.

The old man quickly retreated, pulled up the two of them and rushed in the other direction, at this time there was a sound of hurried footsteps on the side where the three were hiding, and the city defense of the forbidden army, which had been far away just now, at this time for some reason, as promised, all rushed to the hiding place of the three people.

The old man saw that the back road was cut off, so he could only pull the two of them to continue to rush forward. Lingling struggled to break free from the old man's shackles, and scolded secretly: "Niang Xipi, why did you forget the stubble of 'military watch'? ”

When Gu Xing heard the new words, he asked, "What is 'military watch'?" ”

Ling Ling rolled his eyes when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, but he didn't say a word, and let Gu Xing cast an inquiring gaze, just don't say it.

The old man in front heard that the rear fell silent, and the little girl in his heart was a little disgusted with such an idiot question, so he said: "This is a saying in the post-Tang military system. ”

When Gu Xing heard the old man's explanation, he immediately drew inferences: "Then this is the watchman in the army?" The old man didn't speak, just nodded slightly between galloping, but Ling Ling looked disdainful, "Everything has to be explained by others, it's so boring." ”

"If you don't understand, you have to ask, what is this." Gu Xing replied with a displeased face.

The old man saw that the two were about to start arguing again, and hurriedly persuaded: "It's not time yet, let's fall the 'tail' first." In this way, our soldiers are divided into three roads, and the dilapidated courtyard engraved with the right and wrong of the world converges behind the three barriers next to the Guanhai Pavilion of Chilong Road, how about it? ”

Gu Xing heard that there was a fog in the clouds, and the old man turned his head to look at it and sighed, so he could only say helplessly: "So I can only come to the end, so I will ask the girl to take the young master to that courtyard." ”

Ling Ling nodded indifferently, suddenly stopped and dodged into the path between the other towers, and disappeared in a few dodges. Gu Xing looked back at the old man, the old man had already galloped in another direction, and Gu Xing could only follow the memory just now to chase in.

I didn't think about it, just as I was turning, I tripped over something, lost my center of gravity, leaned forward, and fell into the dark deep ditch.

But just when he was about to fall and eat, one person grabbed Gu Xing's waist belt from behind, first chuckled, and then said with a heartfelt voice: "How can I thank me?" ”

Gu Xing suddenly realized at this time that this Nizi took the first step to hide here, just to make a stumbling block for herself, at this time, people are swords, I am fish and meat, or it is better to delay the army first.

He licked his face and said: "The heroine is very heroic, and everyone is demeanor." But this Lingling didn't eat this, and his hand movements loosened a little, "Do you think it's enough to say two good words?" Tell me, what do you have to do with this strange old man? ”

Gu Xing suddenly thought about it in his heart before he said slowly: "I don't know where this old gentleman is coming and going, but maybe he can uncover an old incident that has been sealed for fourteen years, so he decided to follow him." As for who he is and what he is doing here, Gu Mou doesn't know. ”
