117. Eyes in the dark
Yingzi had actually woken up a long time ago. She woke up almost at the same time as Gu Shujie, but she had a headache and lay down without moving. She was recalling what had happened, and how she had fallen into the trap with Yuan Qingmou, a fool. She scolded Yuan Qingmou in her heart, she was really stupid!
She remembered that there was still medicine in her arms, and she should take it to relieve the headache. But she couldn't move now. peeked in, only to find that there was a person lying next to him, a child, a little boy. From the conversation between Yuan Qingmou and Gu Shujie, it was clear that this child was their savior. She was a little suspicious: where did this child come from, and why did she want to save them?
Yingzi hated Gu Shujie to death. All the disasters are brought about by this hateful fellow. If you have the chance, you must destroy him completely! And further afield, it is likely to be the royal city of Xu State. She may meet Purple Lotus. Purple Lotus hates this guy too. She wants to join forces with Zihe to get rid of Gu Shujie, and even catch Gu Shujie!
But is it that complicated? Now Gu Shujie is only a single horse left, why not do it now? Yuan Qingmou should be mobilized to kill Gu Shujie together, or escape. Yuan Qingmou is a bargaining chip in her hand now, a meeting gift to Qin Wuran, she can't leave Yuan Qingmou.
Moreover, in her heart, she didn't want to leave Yuan Qingmou.
It's just that, looking at it, Yuan Qingmou still seems to be stupid, can he listen to himself?
She pretended to wake up, and her body moved. Yuan Qingmou immediately rushed to her side and called out to her eagerly. This made her feel a little more useful. Seeing that her eyes opened, and she looked dazed, Yuan Qingmou also brought her hot water and asked her to drink. She drank it, and felt that her head was not as painful as before, and her body was more comfortable.
Fei Baozi woke up. Go to everyone and talk affectionately. Yuan Qingmou looked at it and felt that this kid was elf enough, and he liked it even more. Yingzi and Gu Shujie were naturally very grateful to him. The group was full, Yingzi's headache was greatly reduced, and each of them rode a horse and marched towards Xucheng.
Yingzi deliberately went ahead with Yuan Qingmou. I want to take the opportunity to speak. But Yuan Qingmou was dumbfounded, and he didn't seem to have the meaning to speak. This made Yingzi very angry, but there was nothing to be done. And Gu Shujie and Fei Baozi followed. Yuan Qingmou could clearly hear the conversation between the two people.
Gu Shujie asked, "Feibaozi, where are you from, and how did you appear in that location?" How did you find out that we all fell into the trap? ”
Fei Baozi replied: "I came from Chu Guo Zhong to leave the city, and I want to go to Xu State." As I passed, I saw a large group of you all falling into the trap and there was not a single one around. I was scared and wanted to leave. But I saw the speechless brother move and snorted. I felt that I could not die without help, so I went down to the pit and helped him up. He said that there might be a living person down there, so let me help him and save people together. And so we went down again. found that you and Sister Yingzi were alive, so I rescued you. ”
"Oh! Thank you so much. But. You are a child, why did you run to Zhongli City in Chu State, what are you doing there? Did you ride back? ”
"Yes! The horse I'm riding now is my own horse. The horses you rode were all from the Chu Kingdom. They died horribly. Are you asking me why I want to go to Chu State? I'm a wanderer. ”
"Can a wanderer ride a horse?"
"Hee-hee!" Fei Baozi smiled and said sweetly, "Uncle Gu." You're shrewd and can get to the bottom of it. Well, I don't want to hide it either. I'm actually a snitch who committed a crime in Zhongli City; They caught my accomplices and came to arrest me. I had to escape on horseback. ”
Gu Shujie smiled: "I have already seen it, you are not the right way!" Good, good. Fei Baozi, Uncle advises you, you must listen. Follow me! After three years, you will grow up, and I promise you that you will be clothed in gold and silver, and that you will spend some money. Would you like to? ”
Fei Baozi excitedly shouted: "Of course I am willing to be rich!" But uncle, what the hell are you doing? If you don't tell me, I don't know the bottom of my heart! ”
"Hey! A small child has a lot of eyes. I'm in business, and my business is big. If you are willing to follow me, I will give you ten taels of silver every month, what shall you do? ”
"Ten taels of silver? Hey! So much? Uncle, you didn't lie to me, did you? ”
"Look, uncle, am I a liar?"
"Okay, since you give so much money, I'll do it!"
"Then let's talk about it. After entering Xucheng, I will buy you a suit of clothes, shoes and hats. You've got to do everything with me, you know? ”
"Understood." Fei Baozi was elated. "Uncle, don't you know how to do it, do you see my hand?" He raised his hand, "You can grab anything." Climb a wall, climb a tree, nothing. ”
Gu Shujie said: "Okay, I'll rely on your hands to ship!" ”
Yuan Qingmou listened, and his heart was very comfortable. All of this was thought out in advance and agreed with Fei Baozi. The current Gu Shujie is extremely short of manpower, and he will definitely seize everyone he can basically trust to serve him. Yuan Qingmou asked Fei Baozi to tell the truth and show that he was a thief, so that Gu Shujie could trust Fei Baozi instead. When Gu Shujie enters Xucheng, he will definitely make a move. In this way, Fei Baozi can grasp the relevant situation and report to Yuan Qingmou in time.
It's just that Fei Baozi can obey Yuan Qingmou's arrangement from beginning to end and serve Yuan Qingmou willingly? A snitch should not have a constant moral standard. Perhaps, it will change its mind in the face of interests, right?
Yuan Qingmou has no confidence in this.
I entered the city, found an inn, and stayed. Yuan Qingmou is still a waiting horse. He was busy in the stable in the backyard of the inn, but his heart was in turmoil, and he really wanted to see Zihe immediately. Thinking of Zihe's appearance, thinking of the days and nights with her, Yuan Qingmou was a little impatient.
A man walked up to him, and when he heard it was Yingzi, he pretended not to hear it and continued to feed the horses.
Yingzi approached him and whispered, "Yuan Qingmou, do you still want to continue pretending?" ”
Yuan Qingmou turned his head stupidly and looked at her in confusion.
Yingzi's voice was even lower: "Why don't you go to Zihe and let her lead someone to catch Gu Shujie?" ”
Yuan Qingmou said: "Zihe, who is Zihe?" Miss Yingzi, what are you talking about! ”
Yingzi said anxiously: "Oops! You fool, you're dead. Is Purple Lotus your wife? It's not convenient for me to get out of the way; You should find Zihe and ask her to send someone. Arrest this ancient tree master. Catch it early, and we'll be free. ”
Yuan Qingmou looked dazed: "Arrest him, arrest Master Gu?" Master Gu is very kind to us, what are you doing with him? ”
"What a fart!" Yingzi narrowed his eyes, "He is the enemy of our Xu Kingdom, and he is the enemy of the people of the world." You can only let him die, not let him live! Tian Mao, why did you forget everything? Can you still remember Lord Xu Cheng? Isn't that your master's old friend, didn't you save him? He is the opposite of Gu Shujie, your opponent to the death. Don't you want to help him? ”
Yuan Qingmou grinned, like a child: "Miss Yingzi, what are you talking about?" Who is Xu Cheng, why is he still my master's old friend? Miss Yingzi, the more you talk about me, the more confused I become. Even you say it. My brain was broken, maybe there were those things before, but now I forgot all about them. I think Master Gu is very good, and he has died so many brothers, I can't leave him. ”
Yingzi stomped his foot: "You are hopelessly stupid!" "Leave.
Yuan Qingmou really looked like a fool, grinning and shaking his head. He continued to feed the horses.
His ears searched for movement around him. He heard the voice, just outside the stable. There was a man walking over there, and he stood still. Listen to the breath, it's a person I don't know. What is this man doing secretly? Could it be Gu Shujie's person, after he arrived in Xucheng, he found his own person. So he was sent to oversee Yingzi and himself?
Yuan Qingmou felt that his judgment was likely to be correct.
He finished feeding the horses and was about to leave the stable, when he saw Gu Shujie slowly walking in from the back door of the inn. Gu Shujie stood still and looked at Yuan Qingmou carefully, Yuan Qingmou smiled and said, "Lord Gu." Why are you looking at me like that? ”
Gu Shujie said: "What did Yingzi say when he looked for you just now?" ”
Yuan Qingmou smirked: "I didn't say anything!" ”
Gu Shujie said: "Tian Mao, I fully believe in you now, and I hope you can help me everywhere." ”
Yuan Qingmou said: "Master Gu, I can." ”
Gu Shujie sighed, but tears flowed down: "Tian Mao, I am now the most difficult period. My companions are all dead, and I have no support. I am far away from the motherland, and I fly alone. You have broken your brain, but your conscience is still there. If you help me, I will take on everything for the rest of your life. I do what I say. ”
Yuan Qingmou said in a panic: "Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie Gu!" I can feed the adults horses, that's enough. ”
"Tian Mao, you stay in the store, I'm going to take Feibaozi out of the store."
"You're busy, I'll take care of everything."
Gu Shujie shook his hand tightly and left.
Yuan Qingmou felt that Gu Shujie might really be because his subordinates were dead, and he had a sense of loneliness, right?
But he was still very cautious, and even set up a surveillance post in secret. In this case, Yingzi should be told that she should not act rashly. If she wasn't careful, she would probably lose her life. It's not worth it, and it's a problem for your own planning.
Yuan Qingmou went to the front yard and saw Gu Shujie leave with Feibaozi. Yuan Qingmou was very happy to see Fei Baozi, and a cloud surged in his heart again. Gu Shujie treats people so devout now, maybe Fei Baozi will obey him, right?
Yuan Qingmou shook his head slightly in his heart. He had to go see Zihe. He wanted to inform Zihe of the situation, so that even if Zihe saw Gu Shujie, he would not lead anyone to arrest him. Yuan Qingmou wants to put a long line and catch a big fish.
Yuan Qingmou heard Fei Baozi describe in detail that Zihe lived in the east of the city, and it was a big mansion close to the city gate. In the royal city, around the central street, there are all officials at all levels of the Xu State. And on the edge of the city, they are often ordinary people living in small households. Therefore, the big mansions there are relatively rare, and you should be able to find them as soon as you look for them.
Yuan Qingmou went upstairs. He lived in the same room with Fei Baozi, next to Yingzi and Gu Shujie's room. After going up the stairs, you have to pass through the rooms of Gu Shujie and Yingzi in turn. This may have been specially arranged by Gu Shujie so that he could stay at the top of the stairs and hear the movement of the various houses. When Yuan Qingmou passed by Yingzi's room, he stopped because he heard a moan coming from the house. He stood up and asked politely, "Miss Yingzi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yingzi continued to moan and replied, "My head is still uncomfortable, you come in and help me take a look." ”
Yuan Qingmou pushed the door into the house and saw Yingzi lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, really looking sick. Yuan Qingmou passed, and Yingzi was sickly, but shook her head delicately: "My head is still uncomfortable." You touch it, isn't it a little hot? ”
Yuan Qingmou touched it, but he couldn't feel the heat. His eyes moved down again, and he was suddenly stunned: Yingzi was undressed and lying under the quilt. The quilt was lifted in a large piece, revealing a white and tender body, shining brightly with people's eyes.
Yuan Qingmou's body immediately became feverish. (To be continued......)
