The night is getting deeper and deeper, and behind the invisible lies an unknown monster that will devour the city at some moment we don't know it.

The occasional cool breeze also indicates that autumn may really be coming, and the moonlight is also lazy today, hiding in the deep clouds and refusing to show up.

Gu Changqing said something softly to the two people beside him, and the two of them nodded and ran in the opposite direction behind them.

The group of them had been waiting here for about two hours, and seeing that there was already a fog in the darkness behind them, and the visibility was getting lower and lower, Yan Mu couldn't help but ask, "Changqing, what if they don't come?" ”

"If you don't come, you'll have to wait!" Gu Changqing said with a straight face, "But they will definitely come." According to the animal trainer Du Sheng, there must be someone between them who is in a hurry, and before dawn, it is tonight! ”

"How can you be so sure, in case it's tomorrow night!"

"Because these people have heard the rumors, I have already guessed who the murderer is? If it were you, you knew I was going to arrest you tomorrow, would you run away tonight! ”

Yan Mu nodded without thinking about it, "Of course, otherwise I'm still waiting to be caught by you." But what do you mean by that? Could it be that there are still people in our county government who have rebelled? ”

"It's not that someone in the county government has rebelled, but that their people are in the county government at all!" Gu Changqing said quietly, and his eyes also looked straight ahead, waiting for the prey to enter the urn.

"Lecon. You're talking about him?! Yan Mu's thoughts suddenly brightened, but he still had doubts, "But they don't seem to have anything to do with each other!" ”

"Well, what about this......" Gu Changqing was still organizing his language and wanted to describe the relationship with Yanmu clearly and clearly, but he was interrupted by Jiancheng who rushed back, "My lord, they came out!" ”

"They? You mean the whole juggle troupe came out? Gu Changqing was a little surprised, but he still stabilized his mind and continued, "What about the third child?" Are you there? ”

Jiancheng shook his head, "No, I've looked back and forth several times, and there is no trace of him at all!" ”

"Suffered, I'm afraid he was already ready to slip away!" Gu Changqing muttered, "I was careless, but didn't this acrobatic troupe say that it would be early to leave?" Why did you stay overnight? ”

Things changed so suddenly that they disrupted all the plans. But when he went to find Du Sheng, he also said that he would leave tomorrow morning, and the third child should still be there at that time.

Why did it suddenly disappear in just these two hours? But when a large number of people came out in the middle of the night, the defenders of the city would not let them go, so why did they act in such a way?

Just when Gu Changqing was puzzled, the gurgling sound of those carriages had gradually entered, several large cages, a few horses, and more than a dozen people.

The boss who called Yanmu a brother that day was walking in the forefront, looking around vigilantly from time to time.

Seeing that they had walked to the gate of the city, the city keeper stopped them without saying anything, "It is forbidden to travel at night, go back!" ”

"Little brothers, you see that it will be cold in less than an hour, you can do well, I am hungry for these things!" The boss said, pointing to the contents of the cage behind him.

Seeing that the city defender still looked unreasonable, he jumped off the horse, walked to the two of them, took out a silver ingot and stuffed it over, and said, "When you go out, who doesn't have an emergency, please be accommodating!" ”

The two people defending the city looked at each other and smiled politely, and one of them was just about to walk over and open the city gate, but he heard a cold and unobtrusive voice coming, "Wait! ”

Everyone was startled at the sound of this voice, but the owner of the voice had been immersed in the abnormal behavior of the circus.

The two city guards looked at him and said tremblingly, "Gu... Master Gu! ”

"At night, this gate will be forbidden, do you want to break the rules?" Gu Changqing was not angry, but these words made the two of them tremble for a while.

"Lord Gu... Little mistakes! The two of them knelt on the ground together, and Gu Changqing waved his hand in disgust, "Okay, get up, and I'll settle accounts with you tomorrow!" ”

"Master Gu, look at why you are here! I'm in a hurry, that's why I begged them, don't you blame them? The boss of the acrobatic troupe said apologetically, "But since Lord Gu is here at this time, then please be accommodating and let me wait out!" ”

"Out of town? I went out of the city in the middle of the night, I don't know what is important? Gu Changqing's face was tense, and he didn't have the relaxed appearance when he drank and talked that day.

"Didn't I already promise someone else, there will be a performance tomorrow morning, it's hard to refuse!" The boss explained, but judging from the way he smiled, he was not at ease at all.

"That's it, but I should be fine with them, I came overnight, also for this matter, the boss might as well go to the county government with me, and tomorrow I will give a good performance to the people of Yong'an City in front of the county yamen." Gu Changqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously, but the boss of the acrobatic troupe, who had been terrified, couldn't figure out his true intentions.

"How good is that, after all, we have promised others!"

"What, you still don't give this face?" Gu Changqing said happily, but he didn't give the boss of the acrobatic troupe the slightest time to refuse, and a few people came forward directly to "please"!

From the city gate to the county office, Gu Changqing had been thinking about the third child, but until these people were settled, he didn't think about what the situation was!

After tossing and turning like this for half a night, when they returned to the county office, it was already dark, but it still looked gloomy, and I don't know when the first autumn rain would fall!

Gu Changqing even lay down until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and after eating something simply, he went to the room of the boss of the acrobatic troupe, "I don't know how well I rested last night?" ”

The boss frowned, "It's not bad, but I don't know when Master Gu's performance wants to start?" Aren't we in a hurry to leave? ”

"Don't worry, you're all here anyway, wait."

"This," said the owner of the juggler, helplessly, "all right." ”

"Oh, by the way, what about your third child? Why didn't I see it, I still want to go down with him to see those monkeys? Gu Changqing said.

"The third?" The boss of the acrobatic troupe was stunned for a moment and continued, "The third child has some things, and he left yesterday afternoon!" ”

"I see!" Gu Changqing muttered, "It seems that you didn't have a discussion between you, but I still saw him in the first half of the night yesterday?" ”

The face of the boss of the acrobatic troupe instantly turned pale, "Lord Gu may have been dazzled, how could it be, he had already left Yong'an City yesterday afternoon to prepare for food and lodging at the next stop!" ”

"Well, maybe I'm really dazzled." Gu Changqing smiled evilly, "Maybe I won't be able to see him tonight!" ”
