Chapter 30: Men and Women Concentric (Added to the Lotus for Editors)
Gu Muhan rode the Wulei horse given by Hai Ye, and Guo Xiaoyue rode a white dragon horse that stepped on the snow without a trace, galloping and rushing to Hengcheng.
Hengcheng is the boundary of the Central Plains martial arts, which belongs to the rivers and lakes under the jurisdiction of Gu Muhao and Xue Dingbian. Since Gu Muhan took the King of Soul Sucking Whirlwind Knife down to Gufeng Mountain, and made a big fuss on the bank of the Xiaoxiang River under Tiandu Mountain, the blood blade of the former Liangshan Bo Xiao Li Guanghua Rong descendant Hua Zirong, and slapped the Xihai Martial Arts Two Heroes West Wind and Rain, the Martial Arts Alliance announced widely: Kill the rebel thief and recover the treasure knife.
At this moment, the "little rebel" has left Peach Blossom Mountain, left Dongfang Yu, Dongfang Yu, Dongfang Shuo, the rivers and lakes under the jurisdiction of Dongfang Shuo, the heroes of the world heard the wind and moved, and a big net was quietly opened, waiting for them to enter the net. Behind them was the sentinel sent by Xixia Xifeng Lei of the West Sea Martial Arts, led by Dai Yubao, who was known as the "Divine Dragon Flying Cat", and the other two, one was the prodigal son Yan Jianfei, and the other was the tiger idiot Yan Jianyu.
Speaking of Hengcheng, many people may not be very familiar with it, but if you talk about Cao Cao's defeat of Huarong Dao during the Three Kingdoms, you probably know a little bit about this place.
To the east of Hengcheng, it was the area where Cao Cao's army was defeated by Chibi and was ambushed along the way by Zhuge Liang.
Since ancient times, there have been people in this area who are fierce and accustomed to the theory of horses.
The wild geographical environment has formed the martial arts, strong and chivalrous folk customs in this area.
Liu Feng, the righteous son of Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, was a native of Xiangzhou and was connected to Hengcheng by land and water.
It is also recorded in the history books that this person has outstanding martial arts, a strong personality, and excellent strength, and swept Xichuan with Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, and has repeatedly made military exploits.
At this moment, two horses flew over the gentle official road and entered the hill forest, and Gu Muhan suddenly took the horses and shouted:
"Xiaoyue, let's slow down! "
Guo Xiaoyue grabbed the reins of the horse and looked back at Gu Muhan:
"What's wrong? "
Gu Mu Han says:
"Do you remember what Peach Blossom Mountain said when she parted ways with her godmother? There are our people in Hengcheng City, and we have to find him after we go, and the joint location is "Lotus Listening to the Rain" in the New District of Hengcheng South Street.
"Lotus listening to the rain? Guo Xiaoyue asked in surprise.
"Yes, lotus listens to the rain. "
"It's a chic name, but I don't know what kind of business you do? "
Gu Muhan said:
"When we get to Hengcheng and find that place, we will know that there will definitely be a store domain name. The godmother said, the joint code is "a lotus flower that has just come out of the water, petals with dewdrops, red buds and blue leaves, and the colors reflect each other." "
Guo Xiaoyue smiled playfully:
"Mother is really, isn't it just a pick-up? I have to make such a crepe code, I can't remember it. "
Gu Mu Han says:
"That's what the godmother explained, and we just did it. "
Guo Xiaoyue asked:
What did the other party say? "
Gu Muhan smiled:
"I'll publish your beautiful essay on our 17k platform, so that you can become a god as soon as possible. "
Guo Xiaoyue couldn't help laughing:
"Hee-hee! This one is more chic, it is simply original, presumably this lotus is a personal name, or a beauty. "
The two laughed while talking, whipped their horses, crossed a mountain, and came to Hengcheng City.
They first found an inn to rest and gave the horses to the innkeeper to feed.
When it was nightfall, Gu Muhan first took Guo Xiaoyue to Zhu's Mansion to inquire about the information.
The night is like a boundless giant screen, enveloping every corner of Hengcheng.
The dark clouds covered the stars and the moonlight, and Hengcheng in the darkness was not as noisy and lively as the day, but only the silence and leisurely silence of the night.
Two black shadows passed through the street, and they flickered like two black lightning bolts stopped in front of a courtyard house.
At this time, the other three black shadows followed them closely.
These three people lurked invisibly and followed all the way here from the bottom of Peach Blossom Mountain.
They all carried waist cannons (muskets), which were different from German mirror box guns, and were a kind of light firearms with high lethality made by the Ming Dynasty.
A glimmer of light shone on the face of one of them, who was none other than Dai Yubao, known as the "Divine Dragon Flying Cat".
It goes without saying that the next two, one is the prodigal son Yan Jianfei, and the other is the tiger idiot Yan Jianyu.
They were extremely fast, never abandoned, and closely followed Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoyue.
Zhu's mansion! Four large gilded characters sparkle.
Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoyue came to the backyard along the root of the wall, and looked up: they saw that the dark curtain was heavy and the courtyard was dark.
He bent down on the top of the wall and stretched out his hand to pull Guo Xiaoyue up.
Not long after, the two jumped from the top of the wall and landed in the corner of the inner courtyard.
The compound is extremely spacious, the building is unusually quiet, and there is a faint light in a room on the top floor.
The two advanced quickly, Guo Xiaoyue approached the hall first, she reached out and pushed the door, and found that the door was locked, so she shook her head at Gu Muhan.
The two of them split up, looking around at the other windows to see if there was any other way to find the person they were looking for, and found that all the windows were the same, tightly locked.
The two of them were a little puzzled, could it be that the owner of the house found any clues and took precautions in advance?
Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoyue were about to return along the wall, when they suddenly found three figures approaching this side, Guo Xiaoyue quickly took out his sword and prepared to fight.
At this time, Dai Yubao, Yan Jianfei and Yan Jianyu, the three of them were encircling and suppressing Guo Xiaoyue, preparing to work together to kill this woman first, and then work together to solve Gu Muhan, who was a foot away from her.
But they immediately found that Gu Muhan's skills were so fast that they didn't react, and they had already returned to a place less than three feet away from Guo Xiaoyue.
They were afraid of startling the snakes, so they hurriedly and quickly evacuated and looked for another fighter.
Gu Muhan nodded to Guo Xiaoyue:
"Let's go back first. "
The two of them returned the same way, climbed over the wall and flew into the vast night.
Return to your pre-booked accommodation and check that the White Dragon Horse and Urey Pony are safe and sound.
Tell the shopkeeper to take care of the horses, put more forage, feed the horses well, and thank you heavily.
Although it was late at night, Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoyue didn't feel sleepy at all, they sat down at the table, Gu Muhan poured two bowls of warm tea, handed one bowl to Guo Xiaoyue, picked up one bowl himself, and drank two big sips with his neck tilted.
Guo Xiaoyue looked back, looked at Gu Muhan gently, and took a sip of tea.
"When we stepped on the spot, there was a group of unidentified people who wanted to attack us, all of them carrying smoking muskets and cold weapons, and it seemed that they were not good people. "
Gu Muhan said:
"On the wall just now, I also felt three cold lights flickering, and three people were approaching you, so I accelerated the speed of evacuation, it seems that this operation is not easy! "
"Yes! "
Guo Xiaoyue was a little puzzled: What is the origin of Zhu Jiabi, the owner of the Nanshan mine that my mother sent us to deal with this time? Also, when you climbed onto the balcony to search the house, did you find the target we were looking for?
Gu Muhan nodded and said:
"This Zhu Mansion House, the owner of the Zhu family is indeed not small, judging from this action of stepping on the point, this person is quite cunning, the so-called cunning rabbit three caves, he must have multiple residences, so it is not so easy to find him. "
Gu Muhan drank the water again, the water brewed from Hengcheng's big leaf tea was sweet and fragrant, astringent and refreshing, and after drinking half a bowl of water, he was currently refreshed and full of energy.
Gu Muhan analyzed and said:
"I think, since this Zhu Jiabi's surname is Zhu, he must be inextricably linked with the imperial court, he dares to go against Godmother's cousin, the force behind it must be very strong, Godmother asks us to not only rescue my uncle in this operation, but also immediately arrest Zhu Jiabi and bring him back to Peach Blossom Mountain. "
Hearing this, Guo Xiaoyue couldn't help but give a cold war, Zhu Jiabi's backer is the imperial court, and it is a capital crime to fight against the imperial court, and the imperial court sent troops to kill the intruding army is an example, they have long been famous, and the four seas are afraid, which makes her creepy, so she confirmed again:
"Are you sure that Zhu Jiabi is related to the imperial court? "
"Yes! "
"To stand up for your uncle in the hands of such a person, isn't it equivalent to taking food from the wolf's mouth and pulling out the teeth from the tiger's mouth? Are the relatives of the imperial court casual and movable? "
Gu Muhan's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were blazing:
"The relationship between Zhu Jiabi is indeed intertwined, they form a party for personal gain, control the entire Hengcheng without leakage, iron buckets, they rely on the Ming Dynasty to continuously expand their power, and the people of Hengcheng are miserable. "
Guo Xiaoyue listened to this, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on her body, which was a physiological reaction of trembling and weakness, because she felt that she was encountering a particularly powerful force this time, and it was a very terrifying opponent.
One Zhu Jiabi is enough for the two of them to worry about their nerves, and he also has the support of the imperial court, which makes it more difficult to subdue him.
Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend.
The two not only have to deal with Zhu Jiabi, the owner of Nanshan Mine with a court background, but another black force is also holding on tightly behind their backs.
Dai Yubao, prodigal son Yan Jianfei, and tiger idiot Yan Jianyu are all waiting for an opportunity to move all the time, they are hiding in a corner and staring at Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoyue tightly, and the musket may pull the trigger at any time and shoot bullets at them.
So the situation is very sinister.
There was a rooster crowing outside the window, it was not early, Gu Muhan patted Guo Xiaoyue's shoulder and said:
"Go to bed, I'll sit here for a while. "
Guo Xiaoyue said charmingly:
"Don't you sleep? "
Gu Muhan said embarrassedly:
"This, this, this room has only one bed. "
