Chapter 437: If you don't bring people back tonight, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring them back
Guo Ergou was afraid that they would not believe his words, and the sword on his neck was extremely sharp, he was afraid that Xiao Mian's hand would shake and directly take the sword and cut his neck.
Guo Ergou explained urgently,
"I'm not lying to you, a short walk from here, it's a fishing village that has been abandoned for many years."
"In the early years, there were some families living there, but the terrain was too low, and it would be flooded during the rainy season, and about ten years ago, all the people in the neighborhood moved to other places, leaving only some dilapidated houses, but enough to settle those people."
"Behind the fishing village is the forest, in front of the Nanhe River, and the terrain is hidden, and just separated from Jingzhou by two mountains, if you take the waterway, you can go around a large circle through a swamp to get to the vicinity of the wharf, but you can't see the road from the wharf, and you can't find it at all if you don't take it with you."
"I also stumbled upon that place, and sent them there for the sake of the people who closed the official mansion."
Guo Ergou's eyes were full of sincerity, for fear that these people in front of him would not believe it.
Xiao Mian frowned when he heard this, and looked at Qi Wenfu, obviously a little suspicious of Guo Ergou's words.
Qi Wenfu looked at him quietly for a moment, and said, "Keep walking." ”
"Zirong ......"
Xiao Mian looked at him and wondered why Qi Wenfu was still taking Su Ruan on the adventure.
Qi Wenfu just said to him: "I've already walked here, I'm afraid it's not so easy to go back, besides, ......" His voice was lowered, like a whisper, only a few people close to him could hear it, "If you can't bring people back tonight, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring them back." ”
Xiao Mian's ears and eyes were smart after practicing martial arts, so naturally when he heard his words, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
What does Qi Wenfu mean by this? What does it mean that if you don't bring it back today, you can't bring it back?
Just before he could ask more, Qi Wenfu continued as if he said casually:
"It's an eventful time now, so bring people back early to avoid long nights and dreams, and the other side of Beijing can't withstand changes."
"Since he said that it is not far away, then continue to walk forward and find the fishing village first."
No matter how bad it is, Guo Ergou and He Fangniang's mother and son are still in their hands.
Xiao Mian is too familiar with Qi Wenfu's temperament, he never does things that he is not sure of, not to mention that he still has a soft underbelly Su Ruan by his side.
But at this time, his words and deeds were a little strange, and he vaguely seemed to be alluding to something, he was full of doubts in his heart, but he had some tacit understanding with Qi Wenfu and did not continue to ask more, but just said coldly to Guo Ergou:
"You'd better not lie to us, or I'll blame me for being rude to you!"
After he put his sword back into its scabbard, he said coldly,
"A few of you, follow him to the front to explore the way, so that he can protect He Fangniang and them, and a few of you will go behind to protect Lord Qi and Miss Su."
The people who followed him were directly separated, and a few stepped forward to follow Guo Ergou, saying that they were following him to explore the way, but they sandwiched him left and right, obviously the meaning of surveillance was more.
At such a close distance, if Guo Ergou made any moves, he would be able to take them down as soon as possible, while the rest of the people were guarding Qi Wenfu's side.
Guo Ergou looked at the people around him and said: "Lord Qi, I really didn't lie to you, there is a fishing village in front, there is no danger on the road, there is no need for you to be so careful......"
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years."
Qi Wenfu's expression was faint, and he said to him, "As long as you don't lie, you don't have to worry, they won't hurt you." ”
"It's almost time now, keep going!"
Guo Ergou also faintly sensed that something was wrong, but Qi Wenfu and they never said that they wanted to go back, so they didn't dare to say more.
He could only barely smile, then took He Fangniang's mother and son and continued to walk forward, while Qi Wenfu and the others slowed down a little, gathered the guards who had pulled away before, and walked forward together.
The moonlight and coldness shrouded the forest, and the shadows of the surrounding forest were heavy, and only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard as they walked.
Qi Wenfu remembered the surrounding environment and route, and at the same time paid attention to Guo Ergou's movements in front, and after walking for a while, the forest shadow in front of him began to thinn, and when the surroundings became bright, Guo Ergou pulled the reins and stopped.
"Lord Qi, it's here."
When Qi Wenfu heard this, he carried Su Ruan lightly in the belly of the horse, and the horse carried them to Guo Ergou's side.
After the two got off the horse, they looked in the direction pointed by Guo Ergou, and sure enough, they saw a low house over there, close to the Nanhe River not far away.
At night, there is not a single light in sight.
I could only faintly hear the continuous lapping sound of the endless waves of the South River not far away as they washed over the rocks.
Guo Ergou said: "I didn't lie to you, this is a fishing village, and those people lived here before." ”
Qi Wenfu glanced around, and saw that the fishing village was indeed as he said before, with a forest behind it, and next to it was the mud marsh near the Nanhe River, and the surging Nanhe River was outside.
The terrain is very open, and it does seem that it is easy to escape, but it is ......
Such a terrain is also extremely convenient for people to surround it.
Qi Wenfu felt that Su Ruan had pulled off his sleeves, and when he looked down, he saw Su Ruan looking at him with a somewhat solemn expression, obviously discovering the strangeness of this place.
The terrain of the fishing village in front of you seems to be open, but once it is ambushed and blocks the way out of the forest, it is impossible to escape just by relying on those few broken boats, and if there is a more fierce one, it directly sets a trap in the fishing village, and when the army is besieged, it really can't fly out with wings.
In the end, this is leaving a way for others.
Or have you fenced off a place waiting for someone to drill into it?
Su Ruan suddenly said: "Wouldn't it be bad for us to rush over?" Why don't you call them over? ”
Guo Ergou heard that Su Ruan was saying this to him, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not, this fishing village looks ordinary, but a lot of traps have been dug, if Lord Qi and you don't show up, I'm afraid they won't come out." ”
Su Ruan looked at He Fangniang: "It's not okay for Fangniang to say it?" ”
He Fangniang was a little afraid to look at her burning gaze, and said in a low voice: "When I went back to the city before, they already didn't believe me, I can't ......"
Seeing what Su Ruan wanted to say, Qi Wenfu directly stretched out his hand and pulled her down, and said, "It's okay, since we have already arrived here, I'll just go, you wait for me here, I'll go and pick up someone." ”
"Fourth Brother ......"
How could Su Ruan let Qi Wenfu take the risk.
As soon as she wanted to speak, she felt the palm of her hand pressed down.
She couldn't help but raise her head, and looked at Qi Wenfu's eyes, seeing that his eyes were dark and full of reassurance, she inexplicably calmed down in her heart, and then whispered: "Okay, I'll wait for you here." ”
