Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyun both felt that the matter had suddenly become serious, their trip was originally to go up the mountain to clear out the bandits, as long as the inside and outside should be combined, they could succeed. But now, suddenly such a branch as the Nine Emperor Princes was born, and the pressure on his shoulders doubled for a while.

Especially the matter of Zhong Gu can be big or small, if you find the person who is under the Gu smoothly, everything will naturally be lifted. But if the person who went down to Gu had three longs and two shorts, the Nine Emperors would also suffer, and no one would be able to afford the consequences at that time.

Yan Xiaoyu touched Rong Xiu's arm: "Do you have to find the person who played the Gu?" Isn't there any other way to solve the Gu? ”

Rong Xiu pondered for a moment and slowly raised his head: "When my grandfather raised troops from Lingnan with the Emperor Taishang to fight the world in the old years, because there was no military salary, he had stolen the ancient tombs of the old dynasty, and he got a strange book during the period, which happened to have a record of Gu poisoning, and there was also a way to solve Gu. My grandfather thought that this book was novel, so he kept it, and when he got to the general corner, he had seen it in the library at home, but he was young at the time, so he didn't take this Gu seriously, and he didn't read it carefully. Although my grandfather has passed away, this book is probably still in my grandfather's old house, and if the news can be passed down the mountain, I will be able to get it in my hands. It's just that the content contained in this book is very old, and most of it can't be verified, so if the Nine Emperor Princes want to solve the Gu with this, it is too risky. ”

After speaking, the three of them were silent, each thinking about it.

After a moment, Rong Xiu's index finger clicked on the table: "It's better like this, once the carrier pigeon contacts the brothers down the mountain, I will immediately ask them to send someone to send a messenger back to the old house to find the book." At the same time, we also probed the bandits in the mountains to see who the people under the Gu were. ”

Yan Xiaowei bit her lip: "How could that group of people easily spit out such an important matter?" ”

Rong Xiu's gaze fell on the Nine Emperor Princes: "Then it's up to the Nine Emperor Princes!" ”

The Nine Emperors' eyes flashed: "What do you say?" ”

"Most of the bandits who are playing tricks in your body are trying to instruct you to do what they want. I don't know if they have ever asked you anything, so let's first comply with their pretended agreement, and then put forward our conditions at the same time! ”

The Nine Emperor Princes exhaled a long breath: "That's right, they did have a purpose in arresting me to Qingyun Mountain, and they also proposed to me that as long as I cooperate with their requests, I will be relieved of the Gu on my body." However, this request is too much, and neither I nor my father will easily agree! ”

He raised his eyelids, revealing a slightly helpless look: "They actually want to exchange me for ten towns in the Northeast region!" ”

Rong Xiu nodded: "Sure enough, it's about the same as I imagined." And I guess even if you agree, they're not going to give up and be satisfied! Although the Northeast is sparsely populated, there are many forests, copper and iron mines, and if they really take ten towns, it will not take a few years to build weapons with these favorable conditions and continue to expand to the Central Plains! This may not seem like a lot, but if you really agree, it is tantamount to raising a tiger! ”

Yan Xiaowei let out a long sigh: "How is this good!" ”

was irritable, suddenly there was a sound of a gentle knock on the door, and the three of them shook at the same time, it's all this time, who will come?

Yan Xiaowei glanced at the Nine Emperor Princes, and her voice was extremely low, for fear that the people knocking on the door outside would hear: "Did anyone find out when you escaped from the firewood room?" ”

The Nine Emperor Princes shook their heads: "No, since the main hall burned down, everyone has been transferred to the firewood room. But after all, the firewood room was not as spacious as the inside of the main hall, and my identity was different from the others, so I was taken to a side room next to the firewood room and imprisoned alone. When I just sneaked out, the guards had just finished changing the guard and patrolling, and they would not re-check the room until two hours later, and no one should move around at will during this time. ”

Yan Xiaowei was uneasy: "Then who will be at this point?" You moved to the firewood house on the first day today, and the guards were afraid that something would go wrong, and the patrol time might not change! Could it be that someone has found us here? ”

Rong Xiu pressed her hand: "Don't worry, it shouldn't have been discovered yet, otherwise such a big figure as the Nine Emperors suddenly disappeared, and the entire cottage must have been in a mess looking for someone a long time ago, how could it be so quiet." ”

He looked at the Nine Emperor Princes sitting on the side: "No matter what, it's serious for the Nine Emperor Princes to hide first!" ”

The Nine Emperor Princes nodded, looked up at the beam, stepped lightly on the table, and suddenly turned over and lay on the beam. Then the whole person shrunk into a small ball, hidden in the middle of the staggered wooden beams.

At this time, the person outside the door lightly buckled it again, and Yan Xiaowei looked nervously at the hand that grabbed Rong Xiu, and her heart jumped. If it's really the patrol who finds it, it's all over if it's discovered!

Rong Xiu took advantage of the situation to grab her shoulders, pushed her to the side of the bed, lowered his voice and said in her ear: "You go back to the bed first, cover the quilt and don't make a sound." At this point, everyone is sleeping, and if you stand on the ground in full clothes, there will be ghosts! Don't be afraid, I have everything in my hands! ”

Yan Xiaowei saw that what he said was indeed reasonable, so she hurriedly took off her embroidered shoes, and quickly got into the quilt except for the outer shirt and the hairpin ring on her head, covering her head tightly, leaving only a small slit to look out.

Rong Xiu also quickly took off the robe on his body and threw it aside, wearing only a white middle coat, and stretched out his hand to loosen the collar, pretending to be asleep and woken up.

He stretched out his hand to take off the latch, opened the door, and saw the thief figure at the door, his thick eyebrows frowned, and the nerves that had just subconsciously tensed instantly relaxed: "Why did you come here at this hour?" ”

Teng Chun quickly flashed into the house, and when he saw Yan Xiaoyun on the bed, he hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands exaggeratedly, and his body immediately turned his back, and he said in his mouth: "Childe, I didn't mean to disturb you and Miss Yan!" Thinking that you might be asleep, I didn't dare to knock on the door after turning around the door several times. But the news from the mountain has come up, and if you delay the opportunity to give your son a chance, the small one can't afford it! If you want to blame that guy Pan, when is it not good to pass on the message, you have to pass it when you and Miss Yan are together! ”

Rong Xiu frowned, picked up the robe that had just been thrown on the ground in a hurry, put it on his body, and glanced at him lightly: "You'd better be louder, so that the entire cottage can hear the message from the mountain." It would be even better if you could recruit the big bosses! ”

Teng Chun hurriedly shut up.

Rong Xiu glanced at Yan Xiaowei behind him and the Nine Emperor Princes on the beam: "It's okay, it's a false alarm!" ”

Yan Xiaowei and the Nine Emperor Princes got off the bed alone, and the other jumped off the beam.

A big living person suddenly fell from the roof, Teng Chun's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he couldn't even speak: "This, this, this is the Nine Emperor Princes?" ”

The Nine Emperor Prince waved his hand and stopped his hand to give a salute: "Excuse me, I will talk about it in detail, what news has come from the mountain?" ”

Teng Chun glanced at Rong Xiu behind the Nine Emperor Princes without a trace, and saw that he nodded slightly, so he took out a note the width of a little thumb from his arms.

Yan Xiaowei also leaned over, and saw that there were no words on the note, only circles like special symbols, and looked at Rong Xiu suspiciously.

The Nine Emperors also frowned: "What is written on this?" ”

Rong Xiu took the note and lit it with a fire fold, the note burned and turned into ashes in only an instant, and then said unhurriedly: "Our people have already laid an ambush, just wait for the mountain to be arranged!" ”

Yan Xiaoyun sighed: "On the mountain, the things on the mountain are the most difficult to do!" ”

The Nine Emperor Princes were silent for a moment: "Since things have developed to the point where they are now, there is no better way. It's better to follow what you said, while I pretended to promise them to set out the people who were tricks, and then wait for you to send someone to find that strange book before making plans! ”

Seeing Rong Xiu nodding, the Nine Emperor Princes slowly stood up from his chair: "It's been too long to come out, and the patrolling people are about to change the guard, so I have to go back quickly." Let's go our separate ways and keep each other informed of any new developments! ”

After speaking, he walked to the window and pushed the bamboo window open a small crack slightly, and seeing that there was no abnormality outside, the whole person instantly fell out of the window and disappeared into the vast night.

Rong Xiu glanced deeply at the window, lowered his voice and whispered to Teng Chun: "Tell Pan Shu to hold the troops first, and all actions are waiting for my orders!" In addition, send someone back to the Rong family's old house to see if "Strange Things in Qingxi" in the library can still be found. If you find it, find a way to send it to the mountain! ”

Although Teng Chun is usually very arrogant and does not act properly, at this time, he still distinguishes the importance of the matter, and he does not ask the reason and responds immediately.

After he left, only Lai Rongxiu and Yan Xiaoyi were left in the house.

She has always been curious about the characters on Rong Xiu's note, just like the secret report during the war, she originally wanted to study it, but unfortunately it was burned by Rong Xiu.

Rong Xiu saw her sitting on the chair in a daze, kicked off the boots on her feet and turned over and fell on the couch, with her arms behind her ears: "What are you thinking, it's not early, go to sleep!" ”

Yan Xiaoyan walked over and lifted the quilt, also lay down, tilted his head to look at the person with his eyes closed, and said the doubts in his heart: "Is it really only written on the note just now that the mountain has been ambushed?" ”

Rong Xiu picked the tail of his eyes: "What, what's wrong?" ”

Yan Xiaoyi covered the quilt under her neck: "It's nothing, although I can't understand it, but I always feel as if you didn't say everything you just said, as if you were hiding something from me!" ”

Rong Xiu's heart jumped, and the whole person turned to the side in her direction, supporting her head with one hand, and pinching the tip of her nose with the other hand and chuckled: "I didn't expect you to know me so well!" That's right, I really didn't say it all! ”

Yan Xiaowei was originally just an intuition, but she didn't expect to be really hit by her, her eyes widened in twilight: "Why, you...... What is hidden? ”
