Gu Xu stood quietly in front of the window of "Xianyunju" and looked northeast.

Outside the window, the green mountains have been swept away by the breeze and the miasma and humidity, facing the bright morning sun, showing a tall and beautiful posture.

On the distant peaks, near the forest, there is a continuous sound of cicadas, occasionally mixed with a few crisp birdsongs.

The bright glow of the sun, dotting on the towering peaks, slowly wiped to the foot of the mountain, the trees on the mountain, the grass at the foot of the mountain, and gradually by the morning light to trace a clear outline.

Gu Xu could clearly see that among the weeds, thorns and dwarf trees on the mountainside, there was a winding gray-white wall, like a winding and circling dragon.

He knew that this Changyuan was an ancient Great Wall built by the Great Chu Dynasty many years ago to prevent the invasion of the Great Yan Kingdom in the north.

However, with the Great Yan being included in the territory by Emperor Taizu of the Great Qi, the Great Wall across the border lost its original role and was in a state of desertion without maintenance for a long time.

Most of the beacon towers made of blue bricks also collapsed and were dilapidated.

If everything is peaceful, it will gradually be forgotten by people in the torrent of history.

However, just in the last few days, the barren Great Wall has suddenly become heavily guarded.

With his spiritual perception ability far beyond ordinary people, Gu Xu could see the soldiers standing guard among the mountains, the cultivators patrolling back and forth, and also discovered a huge formation that could not be seen or touched.

"Great Qi has laid a blockade formation on the ancient Great Wall," he said with a solemn gaze, "I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to pass through the defense line and leave the border." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Yan had just finished his cultivation and stood up from the bamboo mat in the corner of the "Xianyun Residence".

The robe she wore on her body was a straight shirt with a large collar and a knee-length waist.

Because of the slits on both sides of the straight hem, her long white and glowing legs can be faintly seen in the early morning breeze.

She came straight to Gu Xu's side, propped her arms on the windowsill, leaned over slightly, and looked into the distance.

As she leaned forward, the loose silk cloth of her robe was suddenly taut, and the thin waist of her shoulders and the full and smooth curves of her hips were clearly highlighted.

"With your magic weapon to build a spatial passage, you can't even pass through?" She asked.

"No," Gu Xu shook his head, "I tried to use it to locate just now, and found that the nearby space has been sealed, and it is impossible to shuttle beyond the border of Daqi, and even flying is prohibited." ”

Hearing his words, Zhao Yan tried to take out the spear "Yizhangwei", but sure enough, he couldn't soar into the air as usual, as if he was bound to the ground by a heavy chain.

She frowned slightly: "It looks like we're going to have to force our way through." ”

She was not surprised by the decision of the Great Qi court to seal the border. Now that Daqi and Dayan are at war, and there is more than one wanted criminal in Daqi, the Daqi government naturally has to find a way to restrict the flow of people at the border.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"Maybe there's another way," Gu Xu thought for a moment and said, "We can try to disguise ourselves as soldiers guarding the border." Maybe they'll have the authority to cross the blockade formation. If this method doesn't work, we will break the formation and force the border pass. ”

Zhao Yan nodded and agreed to his proposal.

Although her combat power far surpassed that of the monks of the same realm, there were many strong people in the Great Qi Dynasty, and after experiencing the defeat of Jing Cheng, the imperial court would definitely be more vigilant against them.

If you can't fight, try not to fight.

If they can really sneak out of the border unscathed, as Gu Xu said, it will undoubtedly be the best result for them.

…………

A moment later, Gu Xu was wearing a black mask, and Zhao Yan was holding the "Dream Bell", quietly approaching the gray-white long wall in the mountains.

The withered and painted "Xianyunju" changed back to the size of a walnut and was put into Gu Xu's pocket as if it had never existed.

Soon, they saw two soldiers sitting under a big tree with food boxes not far away, chatting and eating breakfast.

Gu Xu and Zhao Yan glanced at each other with a tacit understanding.

Immediately after, a yellowed talisman appeared out of thin air in Gu Xu's hand.

This charm is called the "Shadow Charm" and can conceal the body, making it difficult for those around to detect their movements.

At the same time, Zhao Yan launched a soul-level attack on the two of them at a lightning speed.

The two soldiers saw only a golden light flash from their field of vision.

Before they could react to what was happening, they felt a dizziness in their heads, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Zhao Yan turned her head and smiled at Gu Xu, indicating that she had completed her goal and could continue to plan.

Gu Xu stepped forward and put his right hand on the shoulder of a soldier.

Suddenly, several thick and thin golden rays of light centered on this soldier and extended in all directions.

These golden rays of light are undoubtedly the "thread of cause and effect", which is the method that Gu Xu learned from the empty Xuansan people.

"Chai Hu, a native of Liaozhou, joined the army three years ago and belongs to the foreman Shi Dehui......" With the help of the "line of cause and effect", Gu Xu easily understood the identity of the person in front of him.

Then he used the same method to learn the identity of another soldier: "Zhong Bing, a native of Fenzhou, joined the army two years ago, and also belongs to Shi Dehui's ......."

He muttered for a few seconds, silently reciting an obscure incantation.

After reciting the incantation, he looked at Zhao Yan beside him, and said with a smile: "From now on, my name is Chai Hu, your name is Zhong Bing, and we are all soldiers loyal to the Great Qi Imperial Court. ”

"Won't you really be recognized?" Zhao Yan's eyebrows raised slightly.

These two soldiers, one with dark skin and a scruffy beard, the other with a full face and a big waist and a round waist, are very different from Gu and Zhao in appearance and temperament, not to mention that one of them is even different in gender.

"Trust me, it won't." Gu Xu said confidently.

…………

After some camouflage, the two continued in the direction of the ancient city wall.

On the way, a strong man with a round face, a beard, and armor passed by them.

Gu Xu gently tugged at Zhao Yan's sleeve, then pretended to look respectful, bowed his head to the strong man and said, "I've seen Master Shi." ”

Zhao Yan also immediately followed him and saluted: "I've seen Master Shi." ”

This strong man is naturally Chai Hu and Zhong Bing's direct superior, Shi Dehui.

Hearing the voices of the two, Shi Dehui glanced at them with slanted eyes, and said casually: "Have you finished breakfast?" ”

Gu Xu and Zhao Yan nodded yes together.

"Then hurry up and pick up Wei Zhang's class," Shi Dehui commanded, "According to the imperial court, that traitorous thief named 'Gu Xu' is fleeing towards us. When you stand guard today, keep an eye on everyone who passes by, and do not slack off. ”

"Yes, Master Shi," Gu Xu said solemnly, "I will never let any suspicious person walk away from under my nose." ”

Seeing his serious appearance, Zhao Yan next to him tried her best not to laugh.
