"I fought with those two for more than 100 rounds, and the other party finally couldn't bear it, so he changed his offense and defense, the man entangled me to death, and the woman withdrew from the battle circle and took out a flute. I felt strange at the time, but I couldn't see the other party's doorway. It was only with the sound of the woman's flute that I found dozens of black poisonous snakes on the snow attacking me, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, how could there be poisonous snakes in this cold snow? I had to be very careful to deal with the battle in front of me, and then I was not careful, I was still bitten by a poisonous snake, I tried my best to suppress the flow of snake venom in my body, but my mind was still quickly dizzy, everything in front of me became blurred, I really felt that I was about to die. At the critical moment, I seemed to see a man in black, rushing in and blocking the attack of the man and woman. ”

"A man in black?"

"Yes, it was snowing heavily, the cold moon was shining, the sky and the earth were white, and although my vision became very blurred, the black clothes were still very recognizable. ”

"Brother Dugu, did you know who the man in black was later?"

"I don't know. I was poisoned by a snake and soon passed out. When I woke up, it was already early the next morning. ”

"So that's the case, but why didn't Brother Dugu report this matter to the official in time?"

When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying in the place where I had passed out, and only the silver mink kept licking the wounds from the snake's bite for me. It took me a lot of effort to get up, and if you lie in the snow all night, you'll know how uncomfortable I was. I dragged my stiff, cold body around in a circle, and found that there was no one around. It turned out that the bodies of the craftsmen and monks who were guarding there had already been destroyed, and even the bodies of the few people I had killed during the fight with the gang were gone, and the blood stains had been cleaned up, and there was no trace of them in the heavy snow that had fallen overnight. Everything was like a dream. I was even thinking, since the man in black who saved me, why didn't he take me back to Chang'an? Why did he throw me in the ice and snow, even if it was to build a fire for me. ”

Hearing this, Guo Hua couldn't help laughing, "Maybe that person is a rough person, so he didn't think about it so much." ”

"No, Brother Guo, think about it again. That night, the man in black faced the group of thieves, who was the final victor?"

"This—it stands to reason that the man in black who saved you defeated the gang of thieves. Otherwise, if the man in black loses, with the means of those people, I'm afraid that Brother Dugu is really more than lucky. ”

"Yes, that's what I thought. And the man in black not only defeated the other party, but also took away all the corpses and cleaned up the battlefield. So, he wouldn't be a careless man, but he let me pass out in the snow and ice, leaving me with only a silver mink to lick my wounds. ”

"The Snow Shadow Silver Sable was left to Brother Dugu by the man in black?"

"I guess. After I returned to Chang'an, I asked someone about the origin of this little beast, and someone told me that it was the legendary Snow Shadow Silver Sable, which was perverse and stubborn by nature, fast as lightning, and preferred to prey on all kinds of poisonous snakes, especially its saliva can cure all kinds of snake venom. So, I guess the silver marten was left by the man in black to help me treat snake venom. ”

"Oh. I see. But what about the little official? Brother Dugu has anything to do again?"

"The little officer is dead. Snake venom and cold injury, so that I had to recuperate at home for a few days, and when I went to visit again, I found that the next day after that night, the little official and his family went to Shannan Province to work, and a few days later, it was reported that the little official and his family had just entered Shu, met a bandit, and the whole family was killed. ”

“......”

"I don't think Brother Guo thinks it's a coincidence. I think there must still be a huge force lurking in Chang'an City, and if you run all this, maybe it will be the remnants of the Crow Group. Moreover, I never believed that in the battle of Zhongnan Mountain, the crows were really wiped out. ”

"Well, with the fall of the Crow Group, Xian Yuyan and I also feel that there are many suspicious things. ”

"However, for now, I think it's very likely that those people are coming for me, although I don't understand why. ”

"I can't imagine that Brother Dugu has such an adventure recently, no wonder as soon as the snake girl took out the flute, you reminded everyone to be careful of poisonous snakes. ”

"That's right. Her method at that time was the same as that night, but according to Brother Guo, it was an illusion?"

"Yes. When she started playing the flute, the poisonous snake we saw was an illusion. But then the two white vipers were real vipers. It's just strange that in this cold winter, poisonous snakes and the like should have taken a winter break. ”

"Hehe, it's not difficult to explain, when I asked people about the snow shadow silver mink, the old gentleman also said that the snake that can still move normally in the snow and cold weather can only be the snow snake born on the Tianshan Mountain with this silver mink. This poisonous snake was born in an extremely cold place and will not rest in winter. ”

"I see. Snow snake? Looking back at the two that chased me at that time, they were indeed snow-white. I didn't expect that there were people in Chang'an who knew such a rare thing as this snow snake silver mink, and I thought that only I would be curious about those strange things. ”

"Well, it's Mr. Quan, he's very knowledgeable, and I don't think there's anything in this world that he doesn't know. ”

"It's Mr. Izumi. ”

"Brother Guo also knows?"

"I've had a few faces, but I'm not familiar with each other. However, Mr. Quan has an extraordinary bearing and outstanding knowledge, which is really admirable. ”

"Well, he has some friendship with his father. ”

"Hahahaha, Brother Dugu admitted to seeing each other, but it seems that the little brother has a little villain's heart. ”

"Oh, what do you say Brother Guo?"

Guo Hua smiled embarrassedly, took out the jade pendant from his arms, and handed it to Dugu Huan's hand.

"Well, it was picked up by Brother Guo. When I got home that day, I found that the baby had been lost, and I didn't know where it had been lost. It's a royal gift, and it's really lost, it's not trivial. ”

"It's near General Gao's cemetery. Because of his friendship with Du Huan Du Gongzi and Cen Shencen's master, and because he admired Gao Xianzhi's strategic demeanor, he also joined in and made a modest contribution to General Gao's grave relocation. That's why we were involved in this case, but we didn't find anything, only the corpse of a craftsman from a nearby village and town, who died of snake venom, and Brother Dugu's jade pendant. ”

"You doubt me?"

"Haha, of course not, but I really wanted to use this thing to ask Brother Dugu for some explanations. ”

"Hehe, it's okay. I have been in Dali Temple for many years, and it is reasonable for Brother Guo to do this. ”

"By the way, since you and I are here, who are the two Guo Xuan and Dugu Huan in the next room? And that arrogant young man, Brother Dugu seems to know him?"

"Hahahaha"

Dugu laughed out loud, although the laughter was not very loud, but the taste of banter in the laughter, Guo Hua heard it very clearly.

Guo Hua was stunned at the time, could it be that the person himself couldn't know him?

didn't wait for Dugu Huan to continue to say anything, but when he heard a bang, the door was kicked open.

"Stinky Guo Xuan, dead Guo Xuan, do you want to smoke the county lord to death. ”

Before the words fell, a powder punch had already hit Guo Hua on the shoulder.

Guo Yu suddenly understood that the matter between himself and the county lord of Shengping, I am afraid that Dugu Huan had already heard about it, so he laughed at himself.

Guo Yu pursed his lips, rolled his eyes and looked at Dugu Huan, and let the county lord of Shengping mess around. Thinking in my heart, I didn't smash the same thing directly on her head at that time, otherwise I would have offended her today.

"How is it?Xiao Guozi, you can't even see the disguise technique of this county lord, right?"

"High, it's really high, the county lord's disguise technique is really not seen before the ancients and not seen after the comers, thinking of the world and the world, lonely and weeping. ”

"Go, go, go, hey, flamboyant," After messing around for a while, the lord of Shengping turned to Dugu Huan's side and saluted slightly, "I've seen my cousin, hehe, you're pretty cute when you laugh?"

The county lord smiled. Dugu Huan got up and said that he didn't dare to accept the salute.

Dugu Huan's mother, Princess Xincheng, is the younger sister of the current emperor, that is, Suzong. According to the generation, the lord of Shengping really wants to call Dugu Huan a cousin.

However, Li Shengping is the authentic bloodline of the Li Tang royal family after all, and no matter how expensive his son is by his mother, he is still surnamed Dugu after all, so he does not dare to lead his worship.

"What about the two of you, and even found someone to pretend to be me and Brother Dugu, it's also your ghost idea, right?"

"They, that's my father's henchmen, how about it, it's very similar, right?"

"Your father's personal guards? Do you mean that when you come out this time, King Guangping knows?"

"Of course, for such a big thing, you treat me as a child, and I have no sense of proportion. Even arranging for someone to dress up as you and Uncle Dugu is my father's idea. He said that might help you. ”

"So, you're here to help us?" Guo Yu pretended not to believe it.

"Well, not exactly. Originally, I heard that Mrs. Begonia is a peerless beauty, so I wanted to sneak in and have a glimpse of Fang Rong with you, I can't all cheapen your flowery carrot. Somehow, my father discovered this little bit of thought, and then sent a group of guards to protect me, and asked me to find two people who were similar to yours, pretending to be you, so that you could distract the enemy. What used to be fun is not fun at all now. ”

"What's this, Brother Dugu and I were originally acting in disguise, so let's just mix in your team and let your father's two guards continue to pretend to be us, isn't it fun?"

"yes, yes, oh, that's fun. ”

"Brother Dugu, what do you think?" Guo Yu turned to Dugu Huan.

"Well, that's exactly what I mean, so it's a lot easier to do things. ”

Although Guo Hua said this, he calculated in his heart that since this time it was this crazy girl sent by King Guangping, things would not be so simple. Maybe he also explained other tasks, but he had orders from the prince, and he couldn't talk about them to others.
