Chapter 20: A Delaying Tactic

Gu Yanzhong said and turned his head to look out the window, in the endless sky, a curved bright moon, like a bright lamp, hung high in the sky. The bright moonlight shined through the balcony and spread a layer of silver frost on the ground.

Gu Yan didn't know why, and suddenly there was an inexplicable sadness, and he couldn't say why.

Yan Sanniang looked at Gu Yanzhong's homesick appearance, and her heart also became sad, and asked softly: "I've known Brother Gu for so long, and I still don't know who Brother Gu is?" ”

The corners of Gu Yanzhong's mouth turned up slightly, his expression had flown back to modern times, his eyes were a little confused, and he sat on the futon.

"I grew up in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was a long river near our house, and the water was crystal clear. There is a large rock on the bank of the river, which is very smooth. In the summer, when the river is shallow, the current is just right to flow over the big rocks. ”

While reminiscing about his childhood, he said: "I have nothing to do in the afternoon, I always like to find a big leaf to cover my face, lie on the stone, let the water lap my body, and fall asleep before I know it." When I woke up, I stretched my waist and sat on the rocks, blowing the river breeze, looking at the weeping willows, and listening to the sound of running water like music. ”

"There is also a waterfall in the upper reaches of the river, and there is a pool of sweet spring water at the bottom of the waterfall, and when I have nothing to do, I always take a small pot to the top of the mountain to get a pot of mountain spring to make tea and drink."

Gu Yanzhong said that he really felt like he wanted to go back. He wanted to go back, not because he wanted to go back to the noisy and bustling place where he was busy every day, but the village that was very quiet when he was a child.

Occasionally standing on the top of the mountain, looking up, the sky is blue, open hands, the mountain breeze blows, the kind of smoothness that is integrated into nature, the whole person seems to have been swimming in the clouds, wandering between heaven and earth.

Yan Sanniang listened to Gu Yanzhong's tone of voice becoming more and more heavy, and her heart also became sad with him, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak.

"Gu Lang, since you are so homesick, then you will take me back, how about it?" Ling Qian smiled unashamedly, and said with a smile.

"Go back?" Gu Yanzhong was stunned for a moment, and his heart also chuckled, not to mention whether I want to go back or not, I don't even know how to go back.

He shook his head slightly, looked ahead blankly, and sighed softly: "I can't go back, I can't go back!" ”

"Jiangnan is not far away, and it is Jiangnan, more than a thousand miles ......" Ling Qian smiled and began to move his fingers to calculate, without saying a word, "If we take the waterway, we will go directly down the Bianhe River......"

Gu Yanzhong looked at her innocent appearance, he really couldn't bear to interrupt her, he coughed and said, "Ling'er, it's not like this. We can't go back. ”

Yan Sanniang frowned when she heard this, looked at Gu Yanzhong very seriously, and said very vigilantly: "Brother Gu is saying? ”

She said as she walked to the balcony and looked around, silently everywhere, and couldn't see anything.

Gu Yanzhong looked at her cautious appearance, and suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, as if he understood something.

Yan Sanniang walked to Gu Yanzhong's side and whispered, "Brother Gu is saying that Zeng Bu will send someone to spy on us?" ”

Gu Yanzhong's eyelids "swished" upward, his eyes widened, and he walked quickly to the balcony to take another look. There seemed to be a shadow of someone in some dark corner.

He suddenly came back to his senses, and no matter what he did these days, it seemed like someone was following him.

"Yan'er, when you went to the river today, did you notice that someone was following you?" Gu Yanzhong looked at her with a serious face.

Yan Sanniang was silent for a while, and said with a solemn expression: "Brother Gu doesn't say it, I don't feel it." When Brother Gu said this, I felt that when I came out, it seemed that someone was following me, but I didn't care about it at the time. Where I want to go on weekdays, Zeng Bu has not stopped me, it turns out that someone is following. ”

"Huh!" Gu Yanzhong sneered, now many things that were originally doubtful, needless to say, are also clear.

"Gu Lang, you take us to escape. We'll dress up in disguise and go straight back to your hometown. Ling Qianxiao added.

"Run?" Gu Yanzhong shook his head and deliberately lengthened his voice, "The most dangerous place is the safest place." ”

Gu Yanzhong paused for a moment, and then continued: "Zeng Bu just wants to control me, since he wants to control me, I will let him control it." ”

"What does Big Brother Gu mean?" Yan Sanniang looked at him suspiciously.

Gu Yanzhong said with a slight smile, looked at Yan Shisanniang, and pointed to the place on his chest.

Yan Sanniang lowered her head and smiled.

Ling Qianxiao looked at Gu Yanzhong strangely and said curiously, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"You'll find out later." Gu Yanzhong said a little old-fashioned.

"Brother Gu, what are you going to do?" Yan Sanniang asked again.

Gu Yanzhong let out a long sigh, looked at Yan Sanniang, and then at Ling Qianxiao, full of thoughts. "How to do things, I probably have the bottom in my heart now. I'm just worried about ......"

Gu Yanzhong said and turned his head to look outside, a contemptuous smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and a strong irritability welled up in his heart. The most annoying thing in his life was being threatened.

Zeng Bu has already threatened himself with Yan Shisanniang and Ling Qianxiao today, with the first time, there will be a second and a third time. He couldn't keep them with him all the time.

If he doesn't have it with him, he doesn't have a safe place to rest assured that he doesn't have it with him.

If he was alone, even if Zeng Bu sent ten more people to watch him sleeplessly, he would still come and go freely. Modern infrared light has not done anything to him, and now these two women have become his own restraints.

He exhaled heavily, thinking.

"Brother Gu is worried about us?" Yan Sanniang said tentatively.

Gu Yanzhong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Yan'er is too worried." ”

Gu Yanzhong explained: "Actually, in the final analysis, Zeng Bu was just afraid that I would betray him. As long as I do what Zeng Bu wants me to do as soon as possible, he will feel a lot more at ease. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to Ling Qianxiao, beckoned to her, motioned for her to come over, and also motioned for Yan Shisanniang to come over, and the three of them got together.

Gu Yan whispered: "Right now, although Qingle Fang is the most dangerous place, Zeng Bu has also sent people to monitor it, but it is also the safest place. Yan'er and Ling'er, you are in Qingle Fang, don't go anywhere. As for me......"

He paused again and continued, "I'll find a safe place to get you out as soon as possible." Tonight, rest here. ”

The night was hazy and the moonlight was bright.

Gu Yanzhong was lying on the ground, turned his head to look at the dark sky outside the window, and said secretly in his heart: Escape is not a way. This is not the time when he was a housekeeper in the Zhao Mansion, and he was only a housekeeper at most in the Zhao Mansion.

Master Zhao's status is low, and even if he is recommended, he is only a sesame official with a humble official position. Although now, he is also a sesame official, but the people recommended are different, and of course his status is different.

Taking the woman to escape is just a delaying tactic, and the words just said are just to coax the women and make them feel at ease.

Zhao Mansion? What happens if I put them in the Zhao Mansion? It's better to forget it, Zhao Mansion has a lot of people, and it is not a safe place.

Now it's time to resolve this matter as soon as possible. There is only one fundamental way to solve this matter, and that is to fight back. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is how to fight back and let Zeng Bu die without a place to be buried? Gu Yanzhong shook his head, that is impossible, Zeng Bu will do something in the future.

Zeng Bu's purpose is to move to Zhangdun, and whether Zhangdun moves or not moves to the final outcome is the same. Wait another two years, and Zhang will step down. What followed was the situation of Zeng Bu's dominance.

Since history cannot be reversed, the only way to do this is to conform to the destiny of heaven, find the right moment in the cracks, and wait for the opportunity, so as to hit with one blow.

He thought as he sat up suddenly, hugging his knees and looking at the night sky in the distance. The eldest husband can bend and stretch, even if I have a big grievance now, I have to hold it. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, there will always be a day.

He thought that he had written a "chapter" on the ground, and now if he wanted to move him, he could only start with the people around him.

He thought about writing the word "square" on the ground again, and his brow furrowed slightly. Although Fang Tianruo knew a lot of Zhang Dun's secrets, it was estimated that it would not be easy to take something out of his mouth and move it to Zhang Dun.

The best way is to find someone who has lived with Zhang Dian for a long time, and who has a grudge against Zhang Tun.

He thought of this: two words immediately flashed through his mind: forgiveness.

In less than three seconds, he began to gradually dispel this thought: although Xing Shu had some resentment towards Zhang Dian, the root cause was still Fang Tianruo's body, this chess was not completely sure, it was better not to move.

"Is Brother Gu thinking about Zeng Bu?" Yan Sanniang took the clothes and gently draped them on him from behind his back.

He was a little surprised in his heart, and suddenly an inexplicable warm current gushed out, he looked back at the direction of the bed, Ling Qianxiao was asleep alone, and he also responded softly: "The night breeze is slightly cool, why are you up?" ”

"I heard your sigh, and I got up."

Gu Yanzhong was stunned for a moment, she was really sensitive. "In the dead of night, even the sound of sighing wakes you up, go to sleep."

"No, it's not." Yan Sanniang hurriedly explained, "I haven't fallen asleep all the time. ”

"Go to sleep, it's not a big deal." Gu Yanzhong stood up as he spoke, and the clothes draped on him naturally slipped down.

Yan Sanniang didn't want to hurriedly reach out to grab it, Gu Yanzhong also reached out to grab it, and the hands of the two happened to touch together. Their faces suddenly turned red.

Gu Yanzhong held Yan Sanniang's hand and wondered: Why are her hands so cold.

Yan Sanniang wanted to stretch out her hand, but Gu Yanzhong held it tighter, Yan Sanniang lowered her head shyly and whispered, "Brother Gu." ”

Gu Yanzhong suddenly didn't know what to say, and stammered, "Your hands are too cold, hurry up and go back to sleep." I also rested. ”

As he spoke, he let go of Yan Sanniang's hand, grabbed a futon, lay on the ground, and began to pretend to be asleep......
