I saw that the officers and soldiers who blocked the river bank looked up at the general, and carefully examined the token, and immediately released Gao Hongsheng's father and daughter.

How did Gao Hongsheng and Gao Ling's father and daughter know that there have always been soldiers handpicked by Fang Shuyun to protect them secretly along the way, but they don't know that even if Mu Xiaofei and Du Yunling stole the horse that day, if Gao Ling can't recover the white horse, those soldiers will also help.

Gao Hongsheng and Gao Ling crossed the river in retrograde, came to the north bank, and rode a short distance when they met a group of people fleeing south, and asked what this place was and why everyone wanted to leave it.

An elderly white-bearded old man said: "This is the border of Xingyun County, and the army of Zhao Jiangxiang, the king of Beijun, is about to fight. ”

This Xingyun County is in the east of Wangnan County, close to the East China Sea, and beyond Xingyun County to the north is Haixiang.

Wangnan County has now been broken by Zhao Jiangxiang, and it is only a matter of time before the official army of the old dynasty reaches Xingyun County.

After Gao Hongsheng heard this, he was anxious, and he didn't know whether Haixiang had been captured by Zhao Jiangxiang, the king of Beijun, and whether his family was safe.

The further north you go, the more desolate you see, but you see the rubble and tiles along the way, a mess, and from time to time there are a large patch of scorched earth in front of you, that piece of scorched earth is in a strange round shape, the former village has many ruins and broken walls, sparsely populated.

Gao Hongsheng didn't have time to take a closer look, his heart was tense for a while, and he hurried day and night, and finally came to Haixiang City on this day.

This Haixiang City is no different from other places, and it is not as prosperous as it used to be, the streets are deserted, there are few pedestrians, even if you occasionally see three or two, they are all in a hurry.

Most of the shops on the street are closed, and even if they are open, they are still cold and few customers are interested.

What is even more shocking is that several houses were also burned and collapsed.

Gao Hongsheng knew in his heart that this must have been destroyed by the thunder and fire that the demon Dao Ruofeng had conjured up by the demon Dao Ruofeng.

I just don't know if my store is still safe and sound?

At this time, I suddenly heard a noise of carriages and horses in front of me, and a team of officers and soldiers rode horses and drove towards them, and Gao Hongsheng and Gao Ling, father and daughter, hurriedly drove their horses to hide under the eaves of a shop.

I saw a group of soldiers riding horses and surrounding a general in a car to show off their might, and a few pedestrians in front of the street had time to dodge, but they were driven away by the soldiers on the horse with a leather whip.

Gao Hongsheng and Gao Ling, father and daughter, turned a street corner and finally came to their silk shop, where they saw that the store was intact, but the door was closed like most shops.

Seeing that the store was intact, Gao Hongsheng's heart was a stone.

Gao Hongsheng and Gao Ling's father and daughter got off the horse and knocked lightly on the door knocker, and after a while, the door creaked and opened a crack in the door, revealing a cautious face of the young man who came to see the door, and saw that it was Gao Hongsheng and Gao Ling, and couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Master!" Miss! You're back! ”

As soon as Gao Hongsheng and Gao Ling's father and daughter entered the store, the guy quickly closed the door behind him.

Gao Hongsheng raised his eyes and looked around, and was taken aback, but when he saw that the shelves were empty, he turned around and was about to ask the guy what happened, but he saw that the guy had already run into the back hall courtyard and shouted: "Madam! Son! The lord and the lady are back! ”

Hearing the shouting, the door of the hall immediately opened, and a middle-aged woman and a young man came to the courtyard, it was Gao Hongsheng's wife Wang and his son, Gao Ling's younger brother Gao Jun.

But when he saw Wang's three steps and two steps to Gao Hongsheng and Gao Ling, looking at this and that, his eyes were red, and he actually shed tears.

Gao Hongsheng somehow hurriedly stepped forward to support the Wang family to comfort him, and asked, "Madam! What's going on? Could it be that the family has been robbed again? ”

Wang only cried silently, and Xiao Gao Jun on the side said angrily: "Father, where are some bandits, but they are a group of official bandits!" ”

It turned out that a few days ago, a group of officers and soldiers came and robbed all the silk and satin in the shop under the pretext of requisitioning cloth for war. The old lady who was originally infected with the disease was disturbed by this, and the disease was as serious as a day, and he died in a few days.

Due to the hot weather, the corpse could not be stored for too long, and it coincided with the order of the imperial government, and during the war, all red and white matters were simply handled.

The Gao family couldn't get in touch with Gao Hongsheng for a while, so they couldn't wait for Gao Hongsheng to come back, so with the help of several shop owners, they hastily handled the funeral for the old lady and buried him.

When Gao Hongsheng and Gao Ling's father and daughter heard this, they immediately cried loudly.

Especially that Gao Ling cried extremely sadly, because Gao Ling was well-behaved and cute since she was a child, and she was deeply loved by the old lady, and the father and daughter had a deep relationship. Today, Gao Ling suddenly heard the bad news, how could she not be heartbroken!

At dusk on this day, Gao Ling came to the grave of her grandfather in the suburbs of the south of the city alone, offered tribute to burning paper and other things, recalled the old things, couldn't help but hold the tombstone, prostrate on the ground, and couldn't help crying.

When he was grieving, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Miss Gao, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn." ”

Gao Ling wiped away her tears, stood up and looked back, but it was Mu Xiaofei and Du Yunling.

"How could it be you two, didn't I say don't let me see you again?" Gao Ling said angrily.

"Miss Gao, you won't forget the agreement between us, right?" Mu Xiaofei said with a smile.

"What agreement?" Gao Ling asked.

"Ye Tong." Mu Xiaofei said two words softly.

Gao Ling pondered for a moment and said, "She is in Xiaoshi Village. ”

"Little Stone Village?" Mu Xiaofei said with a surprised face.

"Why, you know this place?" Gao Ling asked.

"No, just heard of it." Mu Xiaofei hurriedly covered up.

"You don't pretend, don't think I don't know, I've been there, and I'm still very familiar with Ye Tong. I know the story between you, and I've heard a lot of rumors. Gao Ling said unhurriedly.

"Okay, I won't talk to you more, Mu will say goodbye." Mu Xiaofei hugged his fists and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Gao Ling from behind:

"Stop! , if you leave like this, I'm afraid that when you get to Xiaoshi Village, you won't be able to find your Ye Tong, right? ”

"How's that?" Mu Xiaofei said.

"That little stone village is different from ordinary small mountain villages, to tell you the truth, it is like a military fortress, and the villagers there are very brave and good at fighting, they will be very friendly to friends, and it is difficult to talk about robbers." Gao Ling said.

When Mu Xiaofei heard this, he stood in place and was stunned for a long time and said, "Is there any good way you can't do it?" ”

"Do you know who the leader of Little Stone Village is?" Gao Ling asked.

"Wen Yinan." Mu Xiaofei replied.

"There have been some rumors recently, do you know a thing or two?" Gao Ling leaned over to Mu Xiaofei and asked if she stared at him tightly.

"What do you mean?" Looking at Gao Ling's aggressive gaze, Mu Xiaofei couldn't help but take a step back.

"For example...... Qingya Mountain Water Lotus View! And also...... Lotus illusion? Gao Ling narrowed her eyes and said mysteriously.

"What do you mean?" Mu Xiaofei asked softly.

"You can use a human head to exchange it for Ye Tong!" Gao Ling gestured with her hand to kill the head, and cut the railway.
