Slowly, the circle of the black-clothed men became smaller and smaller, and they stood in the courtyard and were gradually surrounded by snakes, and the encirclement also included Xiaohai, who was pointed at the neck with a knife.

Seeing those snakes approaching step by step, in a hurry, the leader pushed Xiaohai out.

Xiao Hai also jumped, but when she reacted, she realized that these things seemed to be deliberately avoiding her.

"You're from this village, you can catch snakes, you catch them all!"

The leader who was surrounded in the middle trembled with fear.

He knew that these people on the periphery were useless, and if the snake attacked and bit the people outside, he would soon be bitten by the snake as well.

Xiao Hai also pretended to be very scared and waved his hands outside.

"Master Bing, you really overestimate me, snake catching is already the craft of the previous generations, and my generation doesn't know anything."

He curled up one, and his feet trembled, making the people inside think that he was also afraid of snakes.

But in fact, he already knew that the snakes were going around it and would not attack him.

Although he didn't know why.

"What's more, the village chief finally reached a contract with the snake, if I catch the snake again, there will be more things to take revenge on us."

Xiao Haizi's words frightened this group of people in black into not daring to have any other thoughts.

Suddenly, one of the soldiers on the periphery, seeing the opportunity, ran out of the encirclement, escaped from the courtyard gate, jumped on horseback and fled.

As soon as the leader saw that this was a method, he snatched the torch from the person next to him and brought it out at his feet, and then quickly ran through the snakes.

A beautiful sideways horseman walked away from the man in front of him.

Seeing that the leaders had all run away, the people in the courtyard were even more panicked.

They waved their torches in a desperate manner, and some even threw them directly on the ground, scaring the snakes away, and rushed out in those short seconds.

The snake that bypassed the torch chased out the door, and the group fled without stopping.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruanyan and the others immediately opened the door of the cellar and ran out and ran to Xiaohai's side.

"Are you alright?" She picked up Xiao Hai's face, there were already red marks on both sides, and there was blood hanging from the corners of her mouth.

"I'm okay sister, it's just those snakes ......"

When I looked back again, the snakes outside the courtyard had long since dispersed.

"Don't worry, those are your Bingyue sister's friends." Jiang Soft's words explained simply, but Xiaohai seemed to be blind.

"Don't talk so much about it, let's go back to the house." Gu Shenyuan took this group of people and hurriedly returned to the house.

Jiang Qing took out the accompanying medicine box and treated Xiaohai.

Jiang Ruanyan sat aside, holding his handkerchief and began to regret it.

"It's all because I was so careless that you were beaten."

She looked at Xiao Hai distressedly.

People kindly stayed with them, but she was slapped twice for being so careless and stabbed on her neck.

"You can't be blamed for that." Gu Shenyuan said.

"When I was looking from the rooftop, I noticed something unusual, these people came from the direction of the entrance of the village."

Gu Shenyuan recalled.

"But instead of searching, they went straight here, and apparently they got the news."

Gu Shenyuan's words made everyone extremely frightened, and their hairs stood up in an instant.

"But we're all very careful along the way, how can we get the news out?"

Gu Shenyuan shook his head, "I don't know very well, but I still know one thing, these people are not from the palace." ”

He said firmly, in the palace, he has seen all the soldiers from the general to the lowest level, but he came out in black clothes like this.

He also searched in the name of his father, and it was the first time he had seen him.

He knew that his father had a very powerful Red Banner Army, but he had never seen this group of people.

What's more, judging from their level, it is impossible for the father to appoint them.

Speaking of this, Jiang Ci also fell into deep thought.

"I think it's strange that you say that, they look like some adult's own secret guard."

"Or maybe it's some prince." Gu Shenyuan answered.

This seems to have an answer in his mind, but the evidence is not enough now.

You must know that there are a lot of adults in the palace who watch good shows, but the problem is that there are not many who dare to mix.

The person who wants their heads to go out to search behind the emperor's back without permission, even if the search results are obtained, the emperor will definitely interrogate him with a wave of secret guards.

Not many people would do such a thankless task.

At this time, the people who will send troops out, in addition to my father, I am afraid that only Gu Gangqian is the only one.

Gu Shenyuan guessed.

"How could he do that?" Bai Ruoguan was obviously frightened by Gu Shenyuan's words.

In fact, Jiang Ruanyan is the same, but she knows it very well.

Gu Gangqian is obviously not an obedient child, but he prefers to do sneaky things under the emperor's nose.

She had been happy before, and even a little presumptuous.

It's because she knew when she left the capital, and even General Guan helped them, so basically their escape this time was worry-free.

There may be some other city raiders along the way, but those are not to be feared.

But she never expected that Gu Gangqian's side actually sent his own secret guards to search for them, and he came straight to them.

Obviously, they have been targeted by Gu Gangqian.

"So what do we do now?" Bai Ruoguan was a little flustered.

"Otherwise, let's set off now, take Xiaohai with us, after their gang goes back, more people will definitely come tomorrow."

"No way!"

"No way!"

Bai Ruoguan's proposal was immediately rejected by everyone.

In fact, Jiang Ruanyan thought the same as she thought.

Now that they have been discovered, they have not been searched this time, it is just a fluke, and they must flee quickly.

But she thought about it, if they ran away, and they couldn't find anyone at Xiaohai's house again yesterday and the next day, then Xiaohai would definitely be suspicious.

Just now it was just a handkerchief, and those people had already fought against Xiaohai and Xiaohai.

If they come and run away tomorrow and can't find anyone, those guys will be angry, will they poison Xiaohai?

If you want to think about what Bai Ruoguan said, take Xiaohai away, it will save Xiaohai alone, but what about his family in the capital?

Those people will definitely track down his father, and when the time comes, taking his father and mother hostage, things will only be more difficult to deal with.

Jiang Ruanyan didn't want to affect a family anymore.

And Gu Shenyuan's refusal was more rational.

"Trust me, he won't bring anyone over tomorrow. If I guessed correctly about these people, it was really Gu Gang's subordinates, then they would be the ones who would start to be afraid tomorrow. ”

Gu Shenyuan was a little happy in this matter.

"There was a bit of confusion just now, I didn't notice if any of them were bitten by snakes, did you notice?"

He looked at the people around him.

Bingyue thought back, "It seems that one person has been bitten in the calf, and the other one seems to be injured by a horse. ”

Jiang Ruanyan secretly admired that Bingyue really deserved to be a good companion of the little animals, and even she could know this clearly.

"That couldn't be better." Gu Shenyuan rejoiced.

"If that's the case, the next thing to hide is Gu Gangqian and his men."

He explained to everyone that an identity like Gu Gangqian was very special in this matter.

If his father found out at this juncture, and he actually sent someone to search for him privately, his father would definitely not reward him, but would blame him.

After all, in the eyes of others, this is already a ruthless move to his own siblings, and his father will never allow such a phenomenon to happen.

What's more, in this matter, Gu Shenyuan has not been proven from beginning to end, and he is in the same group as Jiang Ruanyan's people.

Although he had a very good relationship with Jiang Ruanyan before the incident, he also had a close relationship with Jishitang.

But because of the chaos of the scene on the day of the robbery, no one saw how Gu Shenyuan left, so Gu Shenyuan had both the possibility of being kidnapped, and the suspicion that he was Jiang Ruanyan's accomplice.

In this case, if Gu Gangqian was searched by a selfie soldier, he had to suspect that he had ulterior motives.

Coupled with his father's understanding of him, then he will definitely be warned.

Gu Shenyuan is very sure of this.

Therefore, he should hide his team well to avoid being discovered by others, and one of the team is out late at night and injured, so as to tell his father.

"As for the ordinary searchers, we can rest assured that they won't be here."

Everyone felt that what Gu Shenyuan said made sense, but Jiang Ci was still a little uneasy.

"But the premise of these is based on the premise that these people are not people sent by the emperor, in case these people are sent by the emperor, or they are ordered by the emperor to send their own soldiers to cover people's eyes and ears......"

Jiang Ci's conjecture is also reasonable, everyone was silent for a while, if that is the case, then those people are very likely to come back.

"That's right, so we can't leave at this time, in case we leave, those people will definitely get the news and report back to the people in the capital in time, then we will be exposed."

It doesn't matter who it is, it's the key to what they do next.

"I think the most dangerous place is the safest place, and even though they had a conflict here today, the crux of the matter is that they didn't search us inside or outside the house."

Gu Shenyuan paused.

"Then whether it is someone sent by Gu Gangqian or not, they will treat this as a piece of false information, and they will not come to this village in the future, but continue to search forward, so it is not appropriate for us to act during this time."

This is a point of view.

"But aren't we a little passive? I don't know what's going on in the capital. ”

Jiang Ruanyan suddenly discovered everyone's difficulties, and he hated himself for not being able to help.

You look at me, I look at you, and that's their biggest problem right now.

The Jiang clan in the city has all been evacuated, and Jiang Ruanyan will not allow anyone to be in danger.

And other people also have classes that want to send information to Jiang Ruanyan, but now they don't know where to send it, and they can't contact Jiang Ruanyan at all.

Without eyeliner, they don't know what's going on in the capital now.
