Chapter 211: Conspiracy
Gu Jin's footsteps slammed, and the crying in the forest disrupted her previous calm, but Leng Shan's words pulled her thoughts back.
If Fang Cai hadn't been alert, or if Leng Shan hadn't appeared, what would she have encountered?
She tilted her head slightly, followed the sound source, and could vaguely see three or five men with bright smiles on their faces, taking off their clothes.
In the midst of the lightning, I only heard Gu Haomian's voice coming.
"What are you doing? Let her go! ”
Through the gap between the branches, he could see Gu Haomian coming in the night, and he was obviously shocked when he saw the scene in front of him, the pheasant he was carrying in his hand was thrown to the ground, and he flew up and rushed up.
Sticking to Gu Jin's eyes, it was dark and he lost consciousness.
Gu Haomian lifted his sword and killed the two of them, and the remaining two were so frightened that they let go of Gu Xiang and began to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
On the other end, Gu Xiang's clothes were disheveled and depressed, and he couldn't believe what had just happened.
Gu Haomian took two steps forward to help Gu Xiang up, but found that she couldn't stand on her feet at all, so she simply put Gu Xiang on her back, and with the other hand, she carried the necklines of the remaining two, and shouted angrily: "Go!" ”
Gu Haomian had a lot of strength, and with the anger in his heart, he took Gu Xiang and the two men to the bonfire in three steps and two steps.
The bonfire had been extinguished, and the people were all napping by the carriage, and He heard the sound and hurriedly got off the carriage.
When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, He was stunned on the spot.
Stunned for a moment, she hurriedly came over, almost broke her foot, and only asked, "What's wrong with Xiang'er?" ”
Gu Haomian gasped for a few breaths, feeling that Gu Xiang seemed to have fallen asleep on top of him, he wanted to put Gu Xiang on the carriage, and was worried that the two men who offended Gu Xiang would take the opportunity to run, so he simply kicked twice and kicked the crook of the legs of the two people.
Dengshi screamed again and again, but when he looked again, he found that the two people were already kneeling on the ground, as if they had broken their legs by Gu Haomian.
Gu Haomian ignored them anymore, only turned Gu Xiang's back into his arms and carefully put him in the carriage.
I saw that the girl's breath was weak, and a begonia face was full of dust, Gu Haomian's eyes only fell on her messy dress, and she didn't dare to look down, but said to He: "Mother take good care of Xiang'er, and leave the rest to me." ”
He didn't know what was going on, but seeing Gu Xiang like this, her heart had sunk to the bottom, she only nodded in a daze, and got into the carriage.
It wasn't until he was sure that the door of the carriage behind him was closed, Gu Haomian's brows tightened again, and he looked at the two men who were paralyzed on the ground in front of him, and his hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists.
Gu Haomian asked angrily, "Who are you?" ”
The two of them seemed to be in pain, they were baring their teeth and shouting in pain, but they didn't dare to delay when they heard Gu Haomian's question, begging for mercy and begging for life, only saying that they were passers-by.
"Passers-by?" Gu Haomian raised his eyebrows, raised his foot and kicked one of them on the shoulder again, and the man fell to the ground in pain, but something fell out of his arms.
He didn't bend down to pick it up, he only picked up the long sword he had just dropped and passed it forward, and between his breaths, he could vaguely see that the long sword seemed to have fallen to the ground and hooked the thing, and when he looked at it again, he saw that the long sword was taken back in his hand again, and the thing he just had was also held in his hand.
The two people on the ground couldn't help but swallow their saliva, they all forgot about the pain, this young general of the Gu family is so powerful in martial arts?
Gu Haomian ignored the gaze of others, and only took the thing and weighed it carefully in his hand, it was a jade pendant, although the texture was not superior, but the back was engraved with patterns and words.
He held the jade pendant in his hand, and at this time the bonfire had been lit again by the little servant, and the lines on the jade pendant could be clearly seen between the firelight.
Gu Haomian raised his eyebrows, lost his original patience between words, and only asked, "This is the passer-by you are talking about?" ”
On the back of the jade pendant, between the patterns, there are a few words engraved - Earl Qiu Ping's Mansion.
Gu Haomian took a closer look at the dress of the two people, and saw that although the clothes were stained with dust, they were also considered to be better fabrics, not like the rough brown shirts worn by the people of Dingzhou or Shuobei, jokes, will they be passers-by?
The two of them noticed the green tendons on Gu Haomian's forehead that burst slightly, and they only felt that their legs were weak, no, their legs were broken.
"The young general spares his life, we are just doing things according to orders, not voluntary!"
Gu Haomian's gaze reached the slightly open collar of the person who spoke, and remembering the expression of the man who was laughing wildly in the woods just now, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and wiped the person's neck with a sword in his hand.
The eyes were still open, but in an instant, they lost their breath, and the rest of the people were so frightened that they couldn't even speak.
"The young general spares his life, we, we, this, this is ......"
Gu Haomian didn't wait for him to finish, he just stared at him coldly, "Since you know that I am a major general, you know that I have been guarding the northern border of Shuo for several years, and I have killed far more people than you imagined." He lifted his sword and slowly lowered it to the man's neck, "Don't lie in front of me. ”
"No, don't dare, the villain is the long-term follower of Earl Qiu Ping's Mansion, and my young lady asked us to come."
Gu Haomian frowned, the long sword in his hand was closer to his neck, and he was puzzled: "Your young lady?" ”
The man trembled, and he didn't dare to hide it any longer: "Yes, my eldest lady, Miss Cheng Baoqin." The young general should know that the Earl Qiu Ping's mansion has a lot of property, and there is also a Zhuangzi in Dingzhou, and I am a servant who serves in the Zhuangzi. ”
Gu Haomian was stunned for a moment, searching for the name Cheng Baoqin in his memory, he had not been in Bianliang for many years, and he really didn't know much about the young ladies of these families.
But he knew that the Earl Qiu Ping's Mansion was the home of the powerful who attached to the Ningguo Mansion.
"Your young lady asked you to follow us?"
Gu Haomian still didn't quite understand, the Gu family and Earl Qiu Ping's mansion didn't seem to have any festivals, and he couldn't think of the reason.
The long follower was still trembling: "Yes, what the young lady said in the letter is to let us follow the carriage of the Gu Mansion and follow at the junction of Dingzhou and Northern Xinjiang, if we see the young lady of the Gu family, we will ......do it."
"Enough!" Gu Haomian scolded him, and he really didn't want to hear the next words.
"Shut him down." He instructed the little servant behind him, and the little servant understood, so he took two steps forward and escorted the long entourage to the last carriage, and the wound on his leg was torn on the way, and the sound of babbling and screaming made Gu Haomian's heart even more disturbed.
He turned around, and Gu Xiang's low sobbing sound came from the carriage, revealing a lot of sadness in this long silent night.
