Gou Shen had to stand up halfway away, he was silent in his heart, and he wanted to interrogate who these people were instructed to rob and kill him, but now he died without proof.

At this moment, the old man in white, who had been standing quietly, was like a ghost, and suddenly came to the approaching young woman, like a goshawk fighting a rabbit, he reached out and grabbed her, and his body rose and fell a few times, and ran down the hillside to the top of the mountain.

This sudden change made everyone suddenly exclaim, Zhang Meng shouted, and the guards also dismounted and chased after him.

But the mountain is high and the slope is slippery, where can I climb it for a while, and I saw the old man in white grabbing Zhang Kan's sister to climb the mountain and climb the peak as if he was walking on the ground, and he went up.

Gou Shen said in his heart that it was bad, there was nothing to do, but who knew that the old man in white suddenly became troubled and robbed Zhang Meng's family, so Zhang Meng should not be a gang of robbers?

Sure enough, Zhang Meng turned around and stared at Gou Shen, and several guards surrounded him.

Gou Shen indifferently stretched out his hand and took out the official seal in his arms, and said: "Huang Menlang, this official is Gou Shen, the county commander of Yingshui County, and today is just the right time, and I don't know these people. ”

Zhang Meng looked at Gou Shen's official seal and knew that the Tao was true, and besides, he had also heard of the person Gou Shen in Yingchuan County, so he gave up his hand, and before he could speak, the woman who was kidnapped by the old man in white shouted halfway up the mountain.

Zhang Meng was a little anxious at this time, his son was crushed under the horse and covered in blood, life and death were uncertain, and his daughter was taken away under his nose.

At this time, the Tsing Yi guard Kan Li shouted loudly: "Master, these arrows and feathers look like Huns!" ”

When Zhang Meng heard this, he shouted: "What are you going to say?" ”

Kan Li said: "Kan Li has been to the area of the Huangshui River in the past, and has crossed paths with the Huns, and their arrow feathers are different from the arrow feathers of our Han Kingdom, so they can be identified at a glance. ”

At this moment, one of the guards shouted loudly: "Master, master, these robbers and murderers are Qiang!" ”

Sure enough, one of those who had his hood removed had his beard hair very different from that of the Han Chinese.

Gou Shen saw that the Qiang people and Xiongnu people he met today were very troublesome, his heart moved, and he said loudly: "Huangmenlang stay away, Gou Shen will see if he can catch up with Ling Ai." ”

When Zhang Meng heard this, he looked at the blood-stained knife in Gou Shen's hand, and thanked him in a deep voice: "There is such a labor county order!" ”

Zhang Meng's wife also looked at Gou Shen, and although there was a suspicious look on her face, it immediately turned into a pleading.

"That's it! Maybe I'll be able to catch up and find out what's going on today. ”

"One will be the Qiang, the other will be the Huns, the old man in white should not be on the same road as them, maybe there will be a chance."

Pay attention to it, Gou Shen saw that the figure of the old man in white had become a white spot on the mountainside, and rushed up.

Zhang Meng saw that Gou Shen went up the hill at every turn, and said that this Gou Shen really had some ability, and while ordering the guards to strengthen the vigilance, he asked someone to rescue his son from the corpse of the black horse.

Gou Shen thought while trekking, the Xiongnu naturally don't need to say much, they have always fought and made peace with the Han Dynasty, but after all, there are more times of hostility, and there is little time for peace and friendship, as for the Qiang people, they have had two battles with the Han in recent decades, but they have long been surrendered and have not had any friction.

Last year, in the Taishou Mansion of Yingchuan County, Xu Haoming told Gou Shen about the king of Zhou You, who was the prince of the beacon fire opera, abolished the elder and the young, and made the child of the demon queen Baoxi the prince, which led to the anger of the original prince's maternal grandfather and borrowed soldiers and dogs to Rong Xiqiang, which led to the story of the chaos of the Zhou Dynasty.

Xu Haoming said that the dog Rong and the Xiqiang, the dog Rong is the Xiongnu, and the Xiqiang is the Qiang people.

If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and Gou Shen knows that sooner or later there will be a decisive war between the Han and the Xiongnu, and today no matter what the Huns are trying to stop Zhang Meng, it is not surprising.

But the Qiang people are the generals of the defeated army, and they have never had anything to do with themselves, but they intercepted themselves in Cuihua Mountain, what is it for?

There is also the unpredictable old man in white, Gou Shen This is the second time he has seen him, did he come to Cuihua Mountain today by accident, or did he know that there was something wrong here, and he specially took advantage of the chaos to deal with Zhang Meng's family?

In fact, Gou Shen really didn't think that he could catch up with the white-haired old man who climbed the mountain and climbed the cliff like walking on the ground.

Gou Shen's idea is that when he arrives at the top of the mountain, he will go around in a circle, and if he can find out what he can hear, if he can't go back, he will tell Zhang Meng that he can't catch up, and his skills are not as good as others, then Zhang Meng's family will only thank himself, anyway, those Qiang people are dead and fleeing, and no one can tell whether they are here to deal with themselves, or they want to be unfavorable to Huangmenlang's family.

Some things only depend on attitude, not results, and it is better to lend a helping hand when Zhang Meng needs help the most than to ignore it.

What's more, Gou Shen is not all for Zhang Meng, it is really a double win.

Gou Shen soon reached the mountainside, and sure enough, he saw traces of an ambush under the cliff, and a pool of blood that had not dried up, which seemed to be left by the Huns shot by the man in white just now.

When you come to the top of the mountain, you can see the mountains rise and fall, and you can see a figure in the distance.

So Gou Shen ran around, pausing to search every hill he reached, but he always found nothing.

Gou Shen was finally ready to give up, and wanted to rest for a while before going back, at this moment, he was vigilant, and when he looked down, he saw a person's shadow stacked on his figure, and his heart was frightened, and he was full of wit, but his mouth said calmly: "I haven't seen the old man for a long time, and the body of the predecessor is still strong, which is gratifying." ”

Gou Shen slowly turned around as he spoke, and sure enough, there was the white-haired old man standing behind him.

At this time, the sun was westerly, and the warm wind was blowing in the valley, but Gou Shen felt goosebumps all over his body, this old man was really as silent as a ghost, maybe he had been following him all the time, if he wanted to be unfavorable to himself, he would have died a long time ago.

Gou Shen saw that the woman under one of the old man's arms seemed to be faint, so he arched his hand and said, "In Xia Gou Shen, I have seen the old man." ”

"Are you here to catch the old decay?" The old man in white looked at Gou Shen and said, "Do you still want to bring this woman back to ask Zhang Meng for credit?" ”

"Sure enough, he wanted to be unfavorable to Zhang Meng!"

Gou Shen shook his head and smiled and said: "Senior, Gou Shen passed by here, and I originally saw my predecessor meditating on the top of the mountain, thinking that I wanted to thank him for saving my life last time, but I didn't want to run into the Xiongnu and Qiang people who robbed and killed Zhang Meng's family. ”

"The Huns and my Han have been at odds for hundreds of years, and now they are coming and going in groups near Chang'an, and their intentions are bound to be sinister.

"Oh, so you're for the sake of old decay?"

Gou Shen smiled and said: "Gou Shen is not talented, the old man who knows the Tao is excellent in martial arts, and he is auspicious, where can he use Gou Shen to help, but he is rewarded by the spring and can't help, but his mind has to go, so he followed." ”

The white-haired old man looked at Gou Shen and said to the mountain recess in front of him: "Of the four shooters of the Huns, three have been killed by me, and one has fallen into the valley, and it should be shortly lived, you can go back with confidence." ”
