The spirit of coming was wiped out in an instant, and the ears were still buzzing, but the footsteps did not dare to stop for a moment, and walked quickly towards the city lord's mansion, which seemed to be luxurious, but faintly and artemisia grass.

When he walked outside the gate, the soldiers behind him stopped moving forward, Zhu Jinghuan turned his head to look back, and did not see any look on the faces of these people. Maybe they were numb, maybe they were scared out of the fight just now, maybe they never picked up their swords since that day.

Zhu Jinghuan sighed softly, trying to raise his feet and walk into the familiar threshold of the past, but accidentally tripped over. The white-clad man stood where he had just stood, doing what he had been doing. There were a few chuckles from the side of the door, and the arm that was already powerless to raise was held up, but at this time, Zhu Jinghuan didn't dare to raise his head.

His hands trembled slightly, and he hurriedly got up, and the woman's voice just now sounded in his ears, "Please hurry up, the landlord is still waiting for you." ”

If it was as usual, he would have already shown displeasure on his face, and the dog scolded by the person in front of him was bloody. But now, he has become a lost dog, everything must be careful, otherwise the knife just now may fall on his neck again.

The koi fish in the pond are still jubilant, they don't know who the feeder is, they just desperately chase the bait that falls from the sky. Just like the outcasts in the Nine Abysses at this time, whoever gives them alms, they will rush to them.

Nalan, who was dressed in white, threw the last bait in his hand into the pond, raised his eyes to look at the young man, and walked towards him step by step.

Zhu Jinghuan held the long sword tightly, and his already bent body could no longer stand upright. He has too many doubts and speculations in his heart, but at this time, everything is useless. It's just that he saved his life, and finally understood a truth, "No one in this world can believe except himself." ”

When he got closer, Ling Ling took a step forward, clasped his fists and saluted, then stepped aside, completely disappearing his trace. Nalan looked at it for a long time, as if he felt a little bored, turned around and walked into the corridor pavilion, chose the northwest position to sit down, and then smiled softly: "Did you scare the city lord just now?" It was really abrupt under it. ”

Zhu Jinghuan's heart went up and down, but he had to respond in a trembling voice: "Thank you for the grace of the landlord!" ”

Nalan nodded and chuckled, a hint of cunning and coldness flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and beckoned to Zhu Jinghuan, "Come here, there are still some things I want to ask the city lord." ”

Zhu Jinghuan's body was for a while, but he still did not delay in the slightest, and quickly stepped forward to salute with his fists, and his posture was exactly the same. Seeing this, Nalan waved his hand again and again, "The city lord doesn't need to be like this, I will be an official with you in the next dynasty, and you will have a relationship with each other." ”

Zhu Jinghuan said that he didn't dare, took a step back, and fell to his knees, about to give Nalan a big salute. But before this head could be knocked down, Nalan held his hands with him, "I can't help it, I can't help it, isn't this a torment?" ”

Zhu Jinghuan was no longer good for a while, so he sat on the chair and stool in the corridor pavilion by Nalan.

Without sharpness and confidence, he is more like an unborn family at this time, knowing the major events in the world, but not knowing what is in his sleeves. Nalan didn't continue to dwell on what happened just now, but said with relief: "It's all about the past, let's talk about the present." I don't know if the city lord knows the crow valley? ”

Zhu Jinghuan raised his head in some astonishment, just in time to meet Nalan's soft gaze, as if the mustard in his heart had faded a little, and hurriedly responded, "I naturally know that I have dealt with trade and trade many times over the years. I don't know what the landlord is asking for? ”

"Then do you know what secrets are there in this Quenching Crow Valley?" Nalan's question stumped Zhu Jinghuan.

"I don't know about this matter, Quenching Crow Valley is not a jurisdiction, and it is a famous Jianghu sect for a hundred years, I only know that there are capable doctors here, but I don't know what secrets there are." Nalan saw that Zhu Jinghuan's words were sincere, so he no longer deliberately made things difficult, and directly broke it, "Then if you want to borrow the army of Heluo City to attack the Crow Valley, I don't know if the city lord can approve it?" ”

Zhu Jinghuan naturally guessed that Nalan was not just here for a while, he must have a plan. In the battle just now, I originally thought that after taking over Heluo City, they would be allowed to recuperate, but I didn't expect to use the defenders of Heluo City to be the "vanguard" of Nalaoshzi. Death is small, but revenge is big. If this is the case, I am afraid that in the future, it will be incompatible with the Valley of the Crow.

Zhu Jinghuan hesitated again and again, but finally made up his mind. got up and took a step back, hugged his fists and apologized: "The landlord doesn't know, the Heluo defenders are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are really useless, and I hope that the adults will think twice." ”

Nalan frowned when he heard this, and immediately frightened Zhu Jinghuan to his knees. At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and the person who came was a bearded man with red hair, who clasped his fists outside the door and said loudly: "Qiqi Mansion Master, the chasing soldiers have been completely wiped out, and Heluo City has been taken over, and I still ask for instructions." ”

Nalan deliberately sold a pass, looked at Huo Shu and reprimanded, "Didn't you see the city lord here?" Is not such a word to lead me into unrighteousness? ”

Although Huo Shu was born with five big and three coarse, he was delicate, so he naturally guessed that Lou had something to do at this time, and immediately knelt down and replied: "It was the negligence of his subordinates, but this chasing soldier was under the command of General Li Cunjin, and his subordinates were afraid that Heluo would be lost, so he made his own opinion, and asked the landlord to punish him." ”

How could Zhu Jinghuan not see this scene of "bitter meat tricks", since Heluo City has been taken over by Mingyue Tower, it is futile to make a fearless struggle, so he also clenched his fists and said: "Heluo City has the protection of the landlord, and it will be foolproof." For the request just now, please consider the landlord. ”

Nalan then looked at Huo Shu, "Get up, don't you thank the city lord for his magnanimity?" ”

Huo Shu hurriedly got up and said loudly to Zhu Jinghuan: "In this way, I have accepted the kindness of the city lord, and Huo Shu is unforgettable." After speaking, he clenched his fists, stepped aside, and said no more.

At this time, Zhu Jinghuan was already dead. I didn't expect that my ancestors' century-old foundation would be destroyed today. And his thousand calculations, in front of the people in front of him, are just clowns jumping off the beam.

Nalan no longer looked at Zhu Jinghuan, but said for no reason, "In the future, please stay here for the city lord, if there is nothing else, don't step out of the city lord's mansion, so as not to cause trouble." Naturally, someone will take care of the affairs of the city for you. With that, he walked quickly to the gate, and Ling Ling and Huo Shu followed and disappeared outside the gate.

Nalan did not enter the city, but walked straight to the city gate. Huo Shu followed behind him and said in a deep voice: "When the subordinates come down, place Miss Gao in the camp, and please rest assured that the landlord is at ease." ”

"It's okay, but I need to be careful about a few people, and I need to be more careful. Lingling, you go to Zezhou Mansion, you must find out where these people are located, if necessary, you can cut it first! After Nalan finished speaking, he quickened his pace and ignored the two of them anymore.

Lingling clenched his fists and took the order, but did not immediately follow. Instead, they suddenly turned around, as if sensing that someone was staring at them. After a long time, Ling Ling turned around and shook his head, as if he was a little puzzled, but thinking of the landlord's order, he didn't dare to delay more, and walked quickly towards the city gate.

Shortly after Lingling left, two people leaned out from a wine shop not far away. The two did not look at each other, but stared at the direction of Lingling's departure. After a long time, the middle-aged man wearing a hat stood up, walked up to the woman who still had charm, and whispered: "It seems that the head of the family and Gu Xing are in danger, are we ......?"

The woman immediately raised her hand to interrupt the man's next words, "No! The head of the family has explained, and when the affairs of Zezhou Mansion are over, he will naturally come here to meet us. Prepare your boat in case you need it. ”

The man nodded indifferently, and the two of them began to eat and drink again pretending to be nothing, as if nothing had ever happened.

…………

said that Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng walked from the trail, but they came to Zezhou Mansion in half a day. But at this time, the outside of Zezhou Mansion was heavily guarded, and the city gate was closed and impassable. The two of them hid in the grass not far away, and they observed for a long time but did not see any flaws, so they had to continue to wait patiently.

At this moment, a horse came from a distance, turned over and dismounted near the city, but failed to stand firm and fell heavily to the ground. And the horse, too, foamed at the mouth and fell to his knees because of the long run. When the patrol saw this, they immediately stepped forward to set up the comer, and at the same time ordered the rest of the men to be on guard.

Seeing this, Chen Fusheng couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that something happened to Heluo City?" ”

When Gu Xing heard this, a trace of anxiety appeared in his heart, "If something really happened, then the two of us are trapped here now, wouldn't we sit back and wait to die?" ”

Chen Fusheng smiled mysteriously, "Otherwise, if I expect it to be true, the city will definitely be heavily guarded at this time, but there is a shortage of food and grass, if you and I dress up in disguise, we can take the opportunity to enter the city." ”

Gu Xing was overjoyed when he heard this, but then he was relieved again, "Within a radius of three miles, I can't even see a single figure, where is the thing for me to wait for disguise?" ”

Chen Fusheng gestured to Gu Xing, leaned closer and whispered: "The person who came must be a spy from the front, bringing reliable news." If there is a secret stake in the city, the news must be passed out. Then we will be able to enter the city. ”

"What if there are no hidden stakes in the city?" Gu Xing asked with some puzzlement.

"If not, then someone will take action at that time, don't worry. Don't forget, Lady Allure, Yi Bei, Er Yatou, and Wei Wuji are all in this city. When I came, I had already sent a book, and when they saw that we had not arrived, they would surely show up and look for it, and then they would be able to pick it up. Seeing that Chen Fusheng was full of confidence, Gu Xing had no choice but to put his heart back into his stomach and no longer be entangled. Instead, he looked intently at the city gate and watched the defenders move in front of him.

After a while, the defenders who had just sent people into the city rushed out again, and several people seemed to be a little anxious after saying a few words. After a few more people, the soldiers divided into four roads and began to rush in four directions, southeast, northwest, and northwest.

Seeing this, Chen Fusheng clapped his hands and smiled: "Look, the turnaround is coming!" ”

"Fusheng, don't you want to ......," Gu Xing asked with some concern.

"Naturally, I want to make good use of it." Looking at Chen Fusheng's sinister smile, Gu Xing suddenly had a bad premonition, as if there would be endless dangers waiting for them ahead......
