The goshawk held the Qingmang knife in one hand, its back was pressed against the branch of the peach tree, and without saying a word, it looked at the opponent calmly. Blood snaked down from his left shoulder, staining the cyan robe red.

The moment he saw Gu Changming appear, the goshawk's eyes didn't know whether it was surprise or relief, and the light flashed.

Gu Changming made a move. He didn't have a superfluous word, and went up directly with three moves, forcing the other party away, first ensuring that the goshawk would not be attacked again.

The sentence that Dai Guozi asked him just now was really right. Gu Changming dealt a lot of attention to that thief, and when he fought for the first time, he felt that the opponent's martial arts were sparse, and he didn't regard him as an opponent. In the blink of an eye, this person connected him with three moves, but his face did not change, and he returned one move.

"He didn't know what he had gone down all the way, and we all hit it." Goshawk recognized Gu Changming as a good person, and he held his breath to tell the truth what happened.

"I was careless." The corners of Gu Changming's mouth rose slightly, "I only saw the skin appearance, and besides, you deliberately sold such a big flaw to me, for fear that I wouldn't be able to see that you absconded from General Yujing's mansion." ”

"What, he's not a gold steward?" The goshawk looked left and right, and the person in front of him was the gold steward. Two days ago, the gold steward of the general's mansion did not say goodbye, and the jewels in the jewelry box in the general's wife's room disappeared at the same time.

"How many times have you seen it?" Gu Changming saw that this person had no intention of running away, afraid that he would still have a backup move, so he was vigilant, but he talked freely, "A steward, even if you see him every day, can you tell his appearance, his characteristics, and what details are different from others?" ”

Goshawk smiled bitterly: "I'm just a rough person, I can recognize my appearance, where can I put such a heavy mind on a steward." Besides, he followed the general's side, twelve months a year, but spent most of his time in the frontier land, "But no, the missing jewels in the mansion are all in his hands, didn't Gongzi give them to me just now?" ”

When Gu Changming heard the goshawk say the word jewelry, the eyes of the "golden steward" on the opposite side flashed, and he didn't have time to hide it. Could it be that the problem is really in the jewelry?

"What about the jewels?" Gu Changming asked in a deep voice.

"On me." As soon as Goshawk's words fell, the "Golden Steward" and Gu Changming moved at the same time. Gu Changming saw him rushing over, and he was even more sure that there was something wrong with these jewels, he was just strange, when he and Dai Guozi snatched the jewels away, this person did not react, and he had a posture of letting his hair fall, how could he be in such a hurry at this moment.

Goshawk was dazzled and watched the two fighting in front of him, this time the movements were strange, and more than a dozen moves passed in an instant. Gu Changming wanted to quickly subdue the other party, but he lacked the weapon in his hand. The goshawk has a green mang knife in his hand, but he lives up to his path.

Gu Changming, hanging on his toes, rose up, folded the peach branch with his hand, his wrist flew over, and the branch suddenly turned into stars, facing the opponent's façade, so that the opponent wanted to avoid the vital point, and the steps under his feet were disordered, and the flaws were already exposed.

Goshawk straightened his back in shock, and when they met on the official road, he guessed that this prince was a hidden master. Now he sees that the real power is even higher than he thinks. Goshawk quickly went through all the young talents he knew, and then connected to Gu Changming's way of dealing with people, and thought of a person.

"You have nothing to do with this matter at all, why bother with it!" The "Golden Steward" felt the branches cut his face, and with the swift speed of the move, he was afraid that at least seven or eight lines had been cut.

"His face, his face!" The goshawk really wanted to smack himself, and the general usually praised him for his calm temperament. I was shocked today, and I couldn't control my mouth. The most taboo thing for a master to make noise next to him is that he knows the reason, but he does it again and again.

However, the entire face of the "Golden Steward" was shattered by the sword qi turned into branches, and when it was blown by the wind, there was still no blood. The skin of the face is slightly curled up from the scar, as if there is a demon's face hidden underneath, which makes people shudder.

"Show your true colors!" Gu Changming shouted violently, his sleeves flew up, forming a whirlwind, and the branches passed through the middle, piercing deeply into the opponent's shoulder blades, and then piercing out, stirring up a puff of blood mist and nailing the "Golden Steward" directly to the trunk.

The face of "Jin Steward" has completely changed, it was originally an ordinary long face with thin eyes, and it is quite kind when it laughs, but it is a little gloomy when it is not smiling. What is revealed at this moment is not the appearance of the Central Plains people at all.

"It's not the Tanguts, it's not the Liao." Gu Changming thought for a while, "The hammer of the southwest, the wild land." ”

The man was visibly enraged by him, and tried to struggle, but found that half of his shoulders seemed to be locked, and he could not exert his strength at all.

"I don't make the same mistake twice. You're pretending to be too good, I'm careless. Gu Changming saw his reaction and knew that he had guessed all right, "Since it's not from Western Xia, and it's not from Liao, I can leave your life for the time being, as long as you tell me, what happened to those female corpses on the Tongtian River?" ”

Goshawk looked puzzled, this person was also puzzled, the two had a tacit understanding, and at the same time asked: "What female corpse, Tongtianhe?" ”

"The Tongtian River went down from the upstream and floated to the four female corpses in Quyang County, what the hell is going on!" Gu Changming saw the true face of the "Golden Steward", and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind. He thought of those female corpses, their faces were very beautiful, each more gorgeous than the other, and he always felt that something was not right.

It wasn't until he saw the facial features of the person in front of him that Gu Changming reacted that those female corpses were not the appearance of the standard Central Plains people. Although it is not so obvious, and wearing the usual dress and headdress, there are still some differences.

In this case, it must have something to do with the person in front of you. Both Tang County and Quyang County are small counties with few floating populations. These people from the southwest, suddenly appearing at the same time, must have an intrinsic connection.

Thinking of those innocent girls, Gu Changming pulled out the branch from his wound and pointed at his eyes bloodily: "I'll ask again." ”

The man was obviously suppressed by his momentum, but he still insisted on looking up at his face: "I don't know what you said about the female corpse, I have been in the General's Mansion recently, I have been in the General's Mansion for more than half a month, and I have been out for two days, and I haven't had time to kill." If I really killed someone, how could I take the initiative to talk to you in the tea shed? It's not that my life is too long. ”

"Half a month." Gu Changming confirmed the time for a moment, and saw that the person's expression did not look like a fake.

Goshawk sloppily tidied up his wound and pounced again: "What are you doing lurking in the General's Mansion?" ”

"There is money in the General's Mansion, and I want to mix up some good things." The man raised his hand slightly to wipe the disguise off his face completely, "If it weren't for my carelessness, I would have mixed up with those jewels in half a month." When the time comes, just find a pawnshop and exchange it for silver, which is enough to be free for a while. ”

Gu Changming took the branch away and looked at his high-nosed and deep-eyed face, if he wasn't a thief, he would be quite young and handsome: "Then why are you careless?" ”

"I don't know why, but if I knew ...... thing," the man spat blood on the ground, his teeth red with blood, "If I knew that this was the result, I would not even drink tea, and I would be as far away from you as I was." ”

"You're lying." Gu Changming caught a hint of his uneasiness, "What is there about us that attracts you?" ”

"That girl, the two jade pendants around her waist, and the hairpin on her head, a bead the size of a finger." His eyes were on something valuable, "The jewel set in the hilt of the sword." I was greedy for a while, thinking about how capable such a delicate appearance could be even if I carried a sword. ”

"Childe, what he said is true?" Goshawk saw Gu Changming put down the branch in his hand, "But he gave us something weird." ”

"What's it, take out the antidote." Gu Changming watched him touch it in his arms, and then threw out a small bottle, "This is the antidote?" ”

"Take it and wipe it under each of their noses, and they will naturally wake up after a stick of incense." His body was crumbling and could no longer hold on. This man simply broke the jar and broke it, and lay down under the peach tree on all fours, with a look of what I should have said and believed.

"It's important to save people, you do what he says first." Gu Changming waited for the goshawk to wipe the medicine bottles separately for those unconscious people and came back, "I'm going to take him away." ”

"How's that going to work?" Goshawk is grateful to this prince for his two shots, but this fake gold steward is the only way for him to go back and return to the general. If there is no such person, how can he explain to the general.

"I'm just borrowing it temporarily, and I want to take him to see the four female corpses I just mentioned." The only clue that Gu Changming had in his hand, how could he let it go easily, "When the case over there has an eyebrow, I will ask the chief bookkeeper of Quyang County to send this person back to the General's Mansion." Of course, if you insist, I can send him over personally. ”

"Give me a deadline." The goshawk had reached this point, and it was impossible to refuse Gu Changming's request. One shot, two rescues. He owes the other party a big favor, and the other party said so reasonably, "Childe give me a deadline, and I can temporarily explain in front of the general." ”

"Three days. If one of your companions wakes up, you can choose to stay in the county office, and when the three-day deadline is up, they will return to the general's mansion. Gu Changming grabbed the man's uninjured arm, "You don't have to pretend to be dead, the blood is almost the same, so you won't die." ”

"Childe's surname." Goshawk listened to him arrange everything, and the only question he could ask was this.

"Under the surname Gu, Gu Changming." Gu Changming turned his head to look at the goshawk, "Is there any external gold sore medicine, also bandage him, my companion is also waiting for me." ”
