Not to mention the messy form of the Qiting liquor shop outside the Saiwai, but it took him a full ten days to rush from Guanwai, thousands of miles away, to the capital of the Great Song Dynasty - Bianjing!

The huge city, the city gate is engraved with the word "Bianjing", enter from the Donghua Gate, you will see the most prosperous market inside, where the food, the new flowers and fruits, fish, shrimp, turtle and crab, quail and rabbit preserved wax, gold and jade treasures, clothing, nothing more than the wonder of the world.

Pedestrians and vendors pushing and shoving, children and the elderly sightseeing along the streets, and all kinds of people come and go, it is really a prosperous scene. In addition, thousands of pigs are herded into the city's meat markets every day to be slaughtered, and thousands of quintals of fish are consumed every day.

At this time, the night market is also more prosperous, often until the third watch is dispersed, and the market transactions are often tens of millions. There is also a "tile shop" as a place for storytelling and amusement, the largest of which can accommodate thousands of people, and many popular storytelling and historical stories are spread to thousands of households through the wonderful interpretation of storytellers.

At the right time, the autumn breeze is bleak and the sun is shining, it is already the fifth day of the eighth month, and there are ten days to go to the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival in China. He Qizheng was standing under the gate of Bianjing City, looking up at the word "Bianjing" above, and fell into deep contemplation......

Thinking of his time in "The Four Famous Catches", the familiar and unfamiliar pictures appeared in his mind one by one, the city was still the same as it was then, and the pedestrians were still the same as they were at that time, but he had already changed beyond recognition......

Just when He Qi was immersed in his memories and couldn't extricate himself, there was an eagle's chirping in the sky, and He Qi was looking up at the sky, and saw a black flying eagle hovering above his head, and its talons seemed to be holding something.

"Breeze?" After a little thought, he already knew that his predecessor, Gu Xichao, had domesticated a falcon breeze as a way for himself to communicate with others.

So He Qizheng stretched out a hand to his mouth, whistled, and saw the falcon breeze crying excitedly, and the wings rushed down quickly, and after throwing the things under the claws to He Qizheng, he landed firmly on his shoulder, shaking off his dark tight wings, and staring at He Qizheng left and right with small eyes.

He Qizheng smiled, took out a small dried fish from his pocket and fed it to Falcon Breeze, and then opened what Falcon Breeze brought to himself, revealing an unpretentious nameless sword.

"I used to wonder where Gu Xichao's nameless sword went, it turned out to be held in the air by his pet falcon breeze, which is very interesting."

He Qizheng threw a small dried fish to the Falcon Breeze and let it go, and then put the nameless sword and the sword against the cold water together with a red rope, and the two swords were carried diagonally on his body, and he walked towards Changle Fang in the south of the city according to his memory.

And after He Qizheng left, several scattered men who were originally chatting on the side of the street suddenly stopped talking, and one of the men with thick eyebrows and big eyes stared at the distance He Qizheng and whispered: "Ergou, you are not mistaken, right?" That person just now was Gu Xichao? ”

"It's true, whole egg, I just thought I was wrong, then Gu Xichao was obviously instructed by Xiangye to go to Mobei to kill Qi Shaoshang, and he shouldn't come back so soon! But after a few observations, I can finally confirm that he is Gu Xichao!! Ergou, who was slightly bald, swore solemnly.

"Hmm...... There must be something strange in this! Quan Dan groped the sparse beard on his chin, and opened his mouth to analyze: "Gu Xichao left the capital on July 15, and he has only returned in less than twenty days!"

Excluding his journey from the capital to Mobei, even if he hurried with light skills one after another, it would take at least twenty days to go back and forth from a thousand miles of land, so it would be calculated...... Gu Xichao seems to have returned to Beijing on the day he arrived in Mobei......

Is the task assigned to him by Xiangye completed or not? Yuanfang, what do you think? ”

The man who was called Yuan Fang by the whole egg was a man with an obscene appearance and a goatee at the corner of his mouth, and he frowned tightly and said: "If you want me to say, that Qi Shao businessman is called Jiuxian Shenlong, and he is the famous leader of Lianyun Village in the rivers and lakes, so he shouldn't be so vulnerable, right?"

So I think Gu Xichao went to Mobei and saw Qi Shaoshang himself, and he knew that he was invincible or ashamed of himself, so he ran away overnight with his tail between his legs......"

"Hahaha...... What Yuan Fang said is very reasonable, this Gu Xichao must have not completed the task and was afraid that Xiangye would blame, so he was scared like a lost dog, and he didn't even dare to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it was a pity that the delicate little lady was gone!! Quan Dan couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

"Then we have to tell Xiangye about this matter quickly!" , Ergou also interjected and said: "That's it, you two continue to stare at Gu Xichao, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the news!" ”

"Okay, go back quickly!" , Yuan Fang nodded, and said to Quan Dan: "Brother Quan Dan, before Xiangye sends someone to take Gu Xichao, let's not teach him to run!" ”

Quan Dan thought so, so he sneakily followed He Qizheng with Yuan Fang, and slowly disappeared into the surging crowd. The two dogs were not far behind, ran across three streets in a smoke, rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion, found the superior Golden Scale, and informed Gu Xichao of the news that "he may have failed the mission and absconded back to Beijing".

In the original plot of "Against the Cold", as the illegitimate son and confidant of Prime Minister Fu Zongshu, Golden Scale has always hated Gu Xichao, and always thinks that this guy is pretentious, obviously from a lowly background, and should have waged his tail and begged for mercy like others, but he has a breezy smile on the corner of his mouth every day, and he also exudes an aura that is not stained by mud.

And this kind of aura makes the noble Golden Scale very disgusted, and whenever he has the opportunity, he will humiliate his background and ridicule his shabby in public, trying to make Gu Xichao lose his temper and lose his trust!

However, every time the golden scale insulted with vicious words and actions, Gu Xichao always smiled and let it go, with an indelible light in his eyes-

"Gu Xichao is back? Have you read carefully? Golden Scale stared at Ergou suspiciously and asked coldly.

"General Huang, Ergou dares to use the head of Xiang Shang to vouch, then Gu Xichao really returned to the capital, and the whole egg and Yuan Fang who were traveling with him are staring at him right now!" , Ergou said with a smile.

"Oh." , Golden Scale frowned, thinking about the reason why Gu Xichao suddenly returned to Beijing, and with his understanding of Gu Xichao's character, there was only one possibility for Gu Xichao to return to Beijing at this time: he had completed Xiangye's task, killed Qi Shaoshang and brought back the Reverse Water Cold Sword!

But judging from the schedule, Gu Xichao only stayed in Mobei for one day, and in this short one day, it is already a great difficulty to find the Nine Divine Dragons Qi Shaoshang who has seen the beginning and the end of the dragon!

Even if Gu Xichao was lucky enough to find Qi Shaoshang within a day, there were very few people who could defeat him in a short time with Qi Shaoshang's martial arts, and it was even more difficult for Gu Xichao to kill him and seize the Reverse Water Cold Sword!

What's more, Qi Shaoshang is still the big boss of Lianyun Village, and the masters under his command are like clouds, if Gu Xichao really killed Qi Shaoshang, how could he retreat?

So...... Gu Xichao's sudden return to Beijing may also be another unexpected possibility: although Huang Jinchao didn't quite believe that Gu Xichao would do that kind of thing, all kinds of indications indicate that Gu Xichao was very likely to have failed the mission, and he knew that there was no hope of completing the task...... Absconded alone and returned to Beijing......

Otherwise, I went to Mobei with him...... Why didn't General Leng Hu'er and Xian Yuqiu, who assisted him in killing Qi Shaoshang, show up......

Thinking that Gu Xichao was likely to flee back to Bianjing because of the failure of the mission, a happy smile appeared on the golden scale's face for the first time: Gu Xichao ...... You...... Die...... Decide...... Finish......
