Late at night, the bleak moonlight sprinkled the land.

In the silent and desolate grove of early autumn, there is only the faint sound of insects,

A small bonfire burned among a few birch trees, revealing a bit of warmth in this cold night.

Seven or eight people, sitting around the campfire, not far away, all looking tired.

A horse-drawn carriage, parked ten paces away.

"Brother Jiu, Tongcheng is now under martial law, so many of us want to enter the city, I'm afraid we will startle the snake."

Gu Jiu was holding a skewered fish in his hand, roasting it back and forth on the fire, and when he heard this, his eyebrows and eyes were a little serious.

In order to rush to Tongcheng early, I slept in the open for half a month, and I hardly rested.

Now seven miles ahead, it is the boundary of Tongcheng, but their group has to slow down.

He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the carriage.

The movements in his hands did not stop, and he continued to turn the stick of grilled fish.

The fish is quickly cooked, there are no condiments, and even if the fish is cooked, it has a faint fishy smell.

"I'll ask my master's opinion."

Gu Jiu took the grilled fish, untied the water bladder, and walked to the carriage.

"Master, the front is Tongcheng."

Gu Yao in the car was closing his eyes to recuperate, and Yuwen Jue was drowsy in the corner.

Hearing Gu Jiu's words, Yuwen Jue hurriedly raised his hand and opened the car curtain, revealing a somewhat relieved expression.

"It's finally ......"

After he finished speaking, as soon as he saw the fish in Gu Jiu's hand, his whole face wrinkled.

"Good work." Gu Yao stretched out his hand to take it, and then forcibly stuffed it into Yuwen Jue's hand.

Glancing at the young man's slightly vicissitudes of life, as well as his wrinkled clothes, Gu Yao asked casually:

"How many days have you not showered?"

is a good noble son, but now he looks like a rich young master in distress, a little embarrassed.

Yuwen Jue seemed to be choked by the pulse, and said with an embarrassed face: "In a few days...."

He looked down uncomfortably and sniffed to make sure that there was no too strong smell on his clothes, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He secretly looked at Gu Yao, who was talking to Gu Jiu, and said in his heart, Uncle Huang didn't know what to do, everyone was so embarrassed, he couldn't see it at all.

I haven't seen Uncle Huang take a bath in the past few days, but his clothes are neat and clean, and the whole person is spotless, which makes them more and more disgraced.

It's really a great man.

"Tongcheng officials are now completely reduced to decorations... The leader of the rebel army has a tight control over Tongcheng, and ordinary people can't get in......"

As soon as Gu Jiu's words fell, a subordinate hurriedly reported:

"Master, our people have found traces of the rebel army on the hillside five miles away!"

"Can you see the number of people?" Gu Jiu's expression suddenly became serious.

The hand was heavy: "There are more than a hundred, with food and clothes, since they are sent out to escort supplies, they must be good hands." ”

"Master, should we avoid it for a while?" Gu Jiu asked.

Gu Yao knocked on the window lattice of the carriage and looked out the window at the lonely woods, where countless mysterious shadows were born under the light of the flickering bonfire.

007's voice whispered in her ear about the latest trigger:

"Yuan Qi met the heroine Xu Yanran again three days ago, this time it was still a hero saving beauty, Xu Yanran didn't recognize him as the person Ma Jing met last time."

"Yuan Qi should have recognized her, but pretended not to know, and brought her back to their base camp."

"Last night, Yuan Qi led people to search for supplies in a nearby mountain town, and what they found should be the male protagonist and his party."

Gu Yao raised his eyebrows: Amazing, sure enough, with the little villain, he has to go through a wave of plot as soon as he comes.

007 paused abruptly and said:

"Master, the people and horses sent by Pei Xuan to assassinate are numerous, and they are only a thousand meters away from this forest."

Gu Yao raised his eyes to look at Gu Jiu and immediately made a decision:

"You get out of here quickly, and the king himself will take the emperor into the city......"

"Master, it's not right, your old injuries have not healed, if there is an accident in the city, what should your subordinates and others do?"

Gu Jiu was worried, obviously he didn't expect Gu Yao to sit here.

Yu Wenjue on the side was stunned, and repeated in a low voice: "The old wound has not healed? “

"It's okay, no one in Tongcheng can hurt this king."

Gu Yao patted Gu Jiu's shoulder and said, "Xiao Qi will follow me, you withdraw first." ”

Gu Jiu had never seen Gu Qi before, but he had seen that elusive skill before.

With him there, Gu Jiu was also relieved and took the order to retreat.

The crowd went their separate ways.

Gu Jiu evacuated quietly with his people, Gu Yao abandoned the carriage, dragged Yuwenjue on the horse without saying a word, and galloped along the forest path.

"There it is! Chase ——! “

Yu Wenjue's eyes widened slightly, and he grabbed Gu Yao's clothes in horror and glanced back.

The sound of horses' hooves in the middle of the night is particularly clear.

More than twenty black-clothed people, as if they heard the sound, suddenly appeared in the woods.

The sharp blade in his hand glowed with a cold glow in the moonlight.

The comer is not good, and the murderous spirit is high.
