The surroundings were chaotic, and there were fleeing soldiers everywhere, Shi Guida said to Hu Guiyang: "Follow me." ”

"Where are you going?"

Shi Gui galloped into a path in the wilderness, and Hu Guiyang hesitated for a moment and followed with his horse.

After running for four or five miles, away from the wildfires and crowds, Shi Guida turned around and waited for Hu Guiyang to catch up, "You are in danger." ”

"Liang Xiu wants to kill me?"

"It's not just Liang Xiu, he has always wanted to get rid of you, but he doesn't have the power. It is Shangchang Gong and Lizi Province. ”

"Not unexpected." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

"At the earliest, it was Wang Changgong who protected you, and later it was the East Palace, but now Wang Changgong has left Beijing, the East Palace is restricted, and you have no protector."

"What's going on in the East Palace?"

"Let's go a little further and find a suitable hiding place."

Shi Guida drove his horse out for a while, and found that there was no sound behind him, so he had to come back and say in surprise: "You don't believe me? ”

Hu Guiyang stayed where he was, and said with a smile: "On the contrary, I'm afraid of affecting you." ”

"Have you ever been involved with fewer people?"

"It's different, the people I am involved in are either enemies or friends - in this way, when my friends are really unlucky, no wonder Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian always have a bitter look - in short, which one are you?"

Shi Guida thought for a while, "I owe you." ”

"What do you owe me?"

"At least in the Temple of Heaven Dan Cave, you saved my life, let me make a contribution, and left a deep impression on the prince. I transferred back to Jinyi Wei to be free, in fact, waiting for future reuse. So I help you firstly to repay the favor, and secondly, for the East Palace. Is that okay? ”

"You still have a wife and children at home."

"When you are safe, I will go back to Jinyiwei and claim that I was kidnapped by you, and it is a big deal to be punished, so that it will not be a capital crime, and it will not affect my family."

Hu Guiyang glanced back, "Actually, I didn't want to run away......

"To go back is to die, Shang Ming and Li Zi Province have already made a plan."

"Okay. Do you know the way? ”

"I don't recognize it, but I know how to avoid Captain Dongchang."

Shi Guida hit the road again, followed by Hu Guiyang.

At dawn, the two stopped to rest, and Shi Guida divided part of the water and food he was carrying, "There are people in front, and I'll ask for directions after I'm full." ”

"Okay."

The two sat under the tree and ate silently, and Shi Guida quickly got up, "Wait for me here." ”

Hu Guiyang nodded, watched Shi Guida walk away, continued to gnaw on dry food, and after eating, he leaned back against the tree, planning to take a nap, the weather was a little cold, but he still felt that he could sleep.

There was a very slight sound behind him, and Hu Guiyang immediately turned over and got up, convinced that there was a person hiding nearby, "Which friend is joking with me?" ”

Zuo Yu slowly walked out from behind the tree.

Hu Guiyang arched his hand and smiled: "Congratulations, you also escaped, don't you plan to make meritorious contributions?" ”

"You are my credit. Where are you going? ”

"I'm going to—to meet someone?" Hu Guiyang said uncertainly, as if it was not his own decision.

"He Sanchen, that's right, you know that you can't grab the divine jade, so if you want to go to He Sanchen, just ask her for the method of absorbing divine power, and you can return to the capital and remain invincible. Clever. ”

"I'm really smart to hear you say that. What about you? Is it just as smart? ”

Zuo pre-laughed and said that he would make a move.

Neither of them had weapons, they fought empty-handed, and after a few moves, Hu Guiyang fell behind, secretly regretting that he was too careless in his practice, and he recovered too late, wasting more than two years in vain, and he couldn't parry when he met Zuo Yu.

"Wait." Hu Guiyang took a few steps back, "You also want the Famen, right?" I'll take you to see He Sanchen, it's better than you carrying me. ”

"You know each other." Left pre-drop fist.

"We are also old acquaintances, you should know, I have always been easy to talk to......" Hu Guiyang suddenly turned around and ran, the person he was looking for now was not Third Sister He, but Shi Guida, who went to the front to ask for directions.

Zuo Yu was not particularly surprised by this move, sneered, and stepped to catch up.

There were only rugged and winding paths in the wilderness, and Hu Guiyang ran not far and tripped over the potholes on the ground, so he had no choice but to turn over and fight again.

But in ten moves, Hu Guiyang was kicked down, Zuo Yu pounced, and grabbed Hu Guiyang's neck with both hands, "Honestly take me to see He Sanchen, exchange your life for the method, and from now on, wouldn't it be good for the two of you to stay and fly together?" You don't have to worry about the antidote, I'll ask for it from Lingji Palace......"

Zuo Yu suddenly shut up, stared blankly, and after a moment, fell forward.

Hu Guiyang still had the strength, and hurriedly reached out and pushed, letting Zuo Yu fall to the side, and at the same time get rid of the palm on his neck.

Shi Guida held the blood-dripping knife, "Fortunately, I came back in time." ”

Hu Guiyang got up and rubbed his neck, "The wound on my neck can't be healed." He stepped forward and kicked, "You're really killing him!" ”

"You don't want him dead?" Shi Guida put away the knife.

Hu Guiyang sighed, "Zuo Baihu, it's not that I'm hypocritical, it's that your death is indeed a little worthless, is your divine power really that good?" Is it worth it for you to give up your family or even your life? ”

The dead will not answer.

Shigui Avenue: "Let's go, there is a small town ten miles away, you can buy some supplies, and then take the official road to Jiangnan, but you can't take the waterway." ”

Hu Guiyang looked at Shi Guida with a smile on his face, "You also want to see He Sanchen?" ”

Shi Guida looked back calmly, "You still won't believe me." ”

Hu Guiyang glanced at the corpse on the ground, "The temptation of Shenyu is too strong, I can't even believe it." ”

"You're right."

"Huh?"

"I was ordered to gain your trust and go with you to see He Sanchen."

"Shang Ming and Li Zi's idea?"

"It's mainly Shang Ming."

"I said I really couldn't find He Sanchen, do you believe it?"

Shi Guida thought for a while, "Even if you can find it, you won't take me there." I explained it to both of them, but they didn't believe me. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Give you a ride, and in two days I will turn around and return to Beijing, and ask Shang Ming and Li Zi for guilt, saying that you are too cunning, you have never believed me, and stole my weapons and horses."

"Can you steal a little silver?"

"Yes, there are more than 100 taels, you 'steal' them, I will find a post station and borrow the horses there to return to Beijing."

"Why wait two days? I can 'steal' now. ”

"At least for two days, I don't want to seem too incompetent."

Hu Guiyang smiled: "No matter what, you completely offended those two people. ”

"Well, let's hurry first." Shi Guida went to lead the horse.

Hu Guiyang looked down at Zuo Yu and muttered, "This is the only use you have left." ”

The body was left on the road and handed over to the local government for disposal, and the two rode on horseback, and sure enough, they found a small town more than ten miles away, bought some food, changed into official clothes, and continued on their way.

Two days later, Shi Guida insisted on sending another day, and the next afternoon, at a fork in the road, Shi Guida handed over everything to Hu Guiyang, "You find a market to sell the horses, and you can no longer use the identity of the captain of Jinyi." Don't leave it at that, I'm afraid that there will be no time in the future, so I won't mention the future. ”

"It's hard to say." Hu Guiyang smiled, took out a few pieces of broken silver, "You have to keep some on you too." ”

Shi Guida shook his head, "Pretend to be a little bit like it, before entering the post station, I still have to tear my clothes." You go yours, I go mine, it's nothing more than losing my office, I can stand it, if I can wait until the crown prince ascends the throne, maybe I still have a bright day. ”

"I don't know what to say."

"Then don't say it." Shi Gui arched his hand and chose the fork in the road to the east.

"Stay away from Shenyu!" Hu Guiyang said loudly, and finally came up with a sentence.

Shi Gui waved his hand without looking back.

Hu Guiyang led the two horses on foot for a while, saw a tea shed on the side of the road, and went in to rest for a while.

The tea has no taste, it can only be used to quench thirst, but the host is very enthusiastic, seeing that the guests are leading the official horses, a strong flattery, asking questions.

"It's not cold here." Hu Guiyang said casually.

"It's not time yet, and the next snow will be unbearable."

"It's going to snow here, too?"

"Of course, you have to go to Jiangnan to rarely snow, and if you want to see no snow at all, you have to go further south."

"Have you been?"

The tea master shook his head with a smile, "I didn't have that chance, my ancestral home was here, and I never left." I heard that the south is like spring all year round, all kinds of flowers bloom from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and melons and fruits can be eaten as rice. Where is the official going to take office? ”

"Hangzhou."

"Good place, heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below."

Hu Guiyang drank tea, paid and said goodbye, only to feel that the further south he went, the more obvious the warm breeze became, and the more comfortable his mood became.

On the other road, Shi Guida found a post station in the evening, did not tear his clothes, went in directly, took out the waist card, showed the identity of the hundred households in brocade clothes, and asked for horses.

For the post station, the hundred households in brocade clothes were a big official, and the post man hurriedly made a document to approve the horse, and at the same time notified the local officials.

Early the next morning, when Shi Guida set off, several officials came to see him off, flattering him in every possible way, asking him whose case he was going to investigate, and confirming that he was only relieved after passing by.

Shi Guida went all the way north, and when he returned to the capital, he had more silver on his body.

After entering the city, he did not go home, and went directly to the east factory to meet the factory man Shangming.

It wasn't until the evening that Shang Ming came back from elsewhere, and he was very surprised to see Shi Guida, "Are you fast?" Came back alone? ”

"Yes, the lower official is back alone."

Shang Ming's face was full of doubts, "What about the person I sent to pick you up?" ”

"I went the other way and didn't join them."

Shang Ming's face gradually became gloomy, "Have you seen He Sanchen?" ”

Shi Guida shook his head, "The lower officials are incompetent, they didn't gain Hu Guiyang's trust, they were dumped by him, and they couldn't find anything, so they had to go back to Beijing to ask for their guilt." ”

"I saw Zuo Yu's body."

"It's useless, Hu Guiyang is extremely suspicious, he pretended to believe me, and ran away while I was unprepared."

Shang Ming's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, "Immortal Li said that you are self-motivated and a trustworthy talent, it seems that he is wrong." ”

Shi Guida knelt on the ground, "The lower official is guilty, please punish the factory public." ”

"Do you think it's a petty crime, and it's okay to be punished with a board and a few months?"

"Xia Guan has no such extravagant hope, but Xia Guan thinks that the divine jade is in hand, and He Sanchen will come to the door sooner or later......"

"You don't know yet?"

"What?"

"Chen Xun was burned to death in the mountains, but there was no divine jade on his body, only an ordinary golden pill."

Shi Guida was stunned.

"Dongchang failed to recover the divine jade, thanks to your gift, and also lost the whereabouts of Hu Guiyang and He Sanchen. Shi Guida, you are not incompetent, you are deliberately letting people go. Do you want to be punished? Well, I'll punish you. Someone came, dragged him down, and asked for a confession. ”

The two lieutenants immediately came over to drag people, and Shang Ming stood up, "Maybe I can't kill you immediately, but as long as I'm still in Dongchang, don't want to leave the prison." As for Hu Guiyang, fortunately, I have someone else I trust to entrust, and he can't escape. ”

Shi Guida didn't resist, nor did he defend himself, he just muttered: "Shenyu is not on Chen Xun, where will it be?" ”

Shang Ming waved his hand, and the captain took Shi Guida away.

A few days later, the first snow fell in the capital, not big, even the ground was not paved, after noon, a team of brocade guards galloped into the city, straight to the east factory.

Although Liang Xiu was often scolded, he was the person Shang Ming really trusted, and he led the team to track the traces of Shi and Hu, and finally came back.

"No, no, no, Hu Guiyang sold the horse, and his whereabouts are unknown. We chased it all the way to the river......"

Shang Ming was finally furious, Shenyu and He Sanchen were missing, and he had to find someone to blame as soon as possible.
