Battle Sword He Jiabao Chapter 147 - Jade Plate in the Bag
But it was said that Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue left the He family's mansion, and the two of them walked on the main street of Zangbei City, looking at the streets full of He family flags, Gu Xiao couldn't help but sigh that the He family was in Zangbei City, no wonder people said that Zangbei was almost the city of the He family.
"What's next for you?" Jiang Ningxue was beside Gu Xiao, and when she saw that the young man was silent and pondering, he was completely lost in the monkey spirit along the way, and couldn't help asking.
Gu Xiao was still thinking about the He family who were dressed in brocade clothes in Shicai, since Chongyang Bi did not appear in the He family's mansion, only by finding the Chongyang pen could he find a way to enter Murong Valley, and the green silk winding, judging from Shicai's female skills and internal strength that blocked him, he should not be the one who killed Liu Piaopiao.
Gu Xiao was still worried about Lin'er and Uncle Li, as well as Qi Tianya and his party, but was interrupted by Jiang Ningxue's words, Gu Xiao withdrew his thoughts, picked up the brocade silk bag in his hand, and said: "I originally thought that I would spend the night in Fuyuan Dart Bureau tonight, but since the He family gave us a place to go, it is the best policy to go to the He family to find out what we want to investigate, as for Brother Xiong, let's stay until the matter is over, and then it's not too late to say goodbye." ”
Gu Xiao said and opened the brocade silk pouch given by the He family in his hand, there were a few ingots of silver lying in it, but there was one thing that was very eye-catching, it was a square jade plate, which was made of high-quality jade materials, and the word "He" in the middle of the jade plate all showed the status of the He family in Zangbei City.
"This He family is really generous." Gu Xiao handed the brocade silk pouch in his hand to Jiang Ningxue beside him.
Looking at the silver in the brocade bag, I was afraid that it was enough for ordinary people to live for a short time, Jiang Ningxue shook her head lightly, and then replied: "In this case, then let's go to Hejiabao." ”
It had been agreed that they would not stay longer, so the two of them went to Zangbei City, went out of the city, and inquired about the direction of Hejiabao from passers-by, and the two rode towards Hejiabao.
Until the figures of Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue gradually disappeared, a lazy man, with a dead grass in his mouth, half lying on the roof of a private house, leisurely basking in the sun, seeing the two people riding their backs away, it was in the direction of Hejiabao that he spit out the dry grass in his mouth and turned down.
"It doesn't look abnormal, Brother Jin is a little suspicious." The man surnamed Bu muttered to himself, turned around and went back, heading towards the He family's mansion.
Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and they went all the way smoothly and came to the outside of Hejiabao as the person who pointed the way outside Zangbei City.
Just at the foot of the mountain, I have seen the tall gatehouse of the He family, when he was in Liangzhou before, Gu Xiao had seen the magnificence of Liuzhuang, and this time I saw this Hejiabao, only to know that Liuzhuang is really small compared with this He Jiabao.
Not to mention that looking from afar, in the clouds and mist in this mountain, the hundred and ten courtyards that gradually appeared, just this few zhang high archway has highlighted the momentum of Hejiabao.
The archway takes the cypress stake as the ground, the four stout wooden stakes are wrapped with the clamping stone, the whole body of the wooden stake is brushed with famous paint, the iron hoop made of fine iron is bound, the top of the four pillars is connected with the eaves and the eaves of the arch, under the arch is the gilded plaque, the three big characters of "Hejiabao" in the plaque are shining in the sun, shining, looking at it, these three words are actually made of pure gold.
Rao is a famous disciple like Jiang Ningxue saw it, and he unconsciously looked at it twice, Gu Xiao didn't need to mention it, staring at He Jiabao's plaque in a daze, and the last word made Jiang Ningxue almost fall off the horse.
"Miss Jiang, you say, if these people in the rivers and lakes are short of silver, will they sneak in front of the gate of Hejiabao and pick out the big characters of pure gold." Gu Xiaomo rubbed his chin and said bluntly.
Jiang Ningxue was really speechless, when others saw the momentum of the gatehouse of Hejiabao, their own momentum was already weakened by three points, which was also the intention of the He family to spend money to build the gatehouse, but this kid was eyeing the gold on the plaque.
Just when Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue stopped and looked at the He family's golden plaque, they heard the sound of three clothes in the forest.
Gu Xiao followed the prestige and saw the figures of the three people rushing out of the forest, and then walked out of the gatehouse of the He family.
The three of them were dressed similarly, the only difference was the color of the three people's coats, one was wearing gold, one was wearing silver, and the other was wearing copper, they stared at Gu Xiao and the others tightly, and the person in the golden coat scolded Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue: "Bold thief, in broad daylight, dare to trespass on Hejiabao." ”
Gu Xiao was about to take out the jade plate given by the He family to show his identity as a participant, but unexpectedly, the silver-clothed man among the three of them stared at Jiang Ningxue with a pair of thief eyes, and without waiting for Gu Xiao and the others to speak, he opened his mouth first.
"No matter who trespasses into Hejiabao, according to the rules, I will... Frisk. ”
Gu Xiao knew Jiang Ningxue's temperament to draw his sword at every turn, and when he saw the person with a pair of thief eyes, his face was full of ill intentions, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly, today this person is afraid that he is going to bump into Jiang Ningxue's hard stubble.
Sure enough, before this person could get close, Jiang Ningxue's palm was slightly raised, and only a palm swept in front of this person, and the snow raised by the palm wind hit him all over his body.
"Damn, how dare you..." This person was furious, and carefully dusted off the snow all over his body, for fear of soiling his silver clothes, and he was about to make a move against Gu Xiao and the others.
A hand stopped him, and the slightly older man among the three saw that these two people were unusual, and saluted Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue with a fist, and said: "Two, my brother, I apologize to the two of you on his behalf for the rudeness." However, Hejiabao does have rules, all those who trespass without reason, must be strictly checked, if the two have no intention of passing by, please also ask the two to turn back, my three brothers, by no means embarrassed two. ”
Gu Xiao saw that this person's expression was not as rude as the person just now, and he thought in his heart, he was going to Hejiabao to find the Chongyang pen, and he still needed to keep a low profile, so as not to attract attention, thinking of this, he looked back and glanced at Jiang Ningxue.
Jiang Ningxue naturally guessed Gu Xiao's thoughts, snorted coldly, and no longer confronted the silver-clothed man, Gu Xiao immediately turned his head and saluted the gold-clothed man in return: "Carry it down... Sister of the clan, she came to Zang Beicheng to participate in the Hejiabao ring. ”
The gold-clothed man did not show timidity because Jiang Ningxue was skilled, but stepped forward with his head held high and continued: "Young man, if you want to participate in the ring, you need to go to the He family's mansion in Zangbei City to sign up first, and if you can pass the test, you can enter He Jiabao to participate in the competition." ”
Only then did Gu Xiao take out the square jade plate in the brocade bag and hand it to the golden cloth: "At noon next day, I have passed the test in the He family in the city, and the steward in front of the door gave me this thing, and asked me to come with this jade plate before noon tomorrow, but the inns in the city are all full, and I can only come here in advance with my sister." ”
When the man saw the jade plate, his face immediately froze, he solemnly took it, looked at it carefully, and immediately bowed to Gu Xiao with respect on his face.
"I didn't expect Shaoxia to hold a jade card, second brother, apologize to Shaoxia and the girl, otherwise the head of the family will know that you have neglected the jade guest, and you will know the end." The man yelled at the thief-eyed man behind him who had just spoken lightly to Jiang Ningxue.
When the thief-eyed man saw the jade plate, he couldn't care about the snow on his silver coat, his legs were weak, and he immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Jiang Ningxue again and again.
"Shaoxia, girl, I don't know Taishan with my eyes, and please spare me for being drunk."
Gu Xiao didn't know that the jade plate given by the steward had such an effect, and turned her head to look at Jiang Ningxue, there was still that cold look under the hood, it seemed that it was not important to her before the silver-clothed person's reparation.
In fact, Gu Xiao also wanted to punish this silver-clothed person who spoke lightly Jiang Ningxue, but the purpose of this trip was not for the sake of Chongyang pen and green silk, even if he was ready to act in a low-key manner, this person did not commit any unforgivable crimes, with the mentality that more things are better than less, Gu Xiao turned his head and said to the silver-clothed man: "Since you have sincerely apologized, my sister will no longer pursue your frivolous mistakes." ”
"Thank you Shaoxia, thank you girl, Shaoxia's kindness to Xiaoxia is like regenerating parents, Xiaoxia's admiration for Shaoxia and the girl is like a surging river, stretching on..."
Gu Xiao boasted of his eloquence, but he didn't expect to meet such a talkative person outside of Hejiabao, and the more he heard him, the more outrageous it became, so he had to wave his hand to stop his words.
The man in gold standing next to the man in silver also thanked Gu Xiao and the others again and again, and Gu Xiao saw that the corners of the clothes of these three people were embroidered with a small 'He' word in black and gold thread, and he instantly understood the identities of these three people.
"I don't know something, and I want to ask three of you for advice." Gu Xiao opened his mouth and said to the three of them.
"Shaoxia has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to ask, the three of us know everything." The man in gold replied with his fists clenched.
"What the hell is this jade plate for?" Gu Xiao asked.
"Back to Shaoxia, in my He Jiabao, there are a total of eight people in the gold-clothed nursing home, 16 people in the silver-clothed nursing home, and thirty-two people in the bronze nursing home, all of whom are the Jianghu guests who were eliminated in the He family's ring in previous years. The man in gold told the story.
"Brother Tai, what is the relationship between the jade plate and what you said, why do you want to say these gold and silver clothes to me." Gu Xiao didn't want to interrupt the gold-clothed man's words unreasonably, but Gu Xiao always thought about the disappearance of Lin'er and the others and the extinction of the green silk, which stopped the golden-clothed man from continuing.
"That's because when we signed up to participate, Brother Jin gave us different textures of brands according to our skills. Our He family ring with four games, and the defender of each ring is the person holding the jade card, if the defender can stand to the end, and then catch the fight, and finally decide the top three, by them to challenge the brocade cloth, if the challenge is successful, you can replace the position of worship. ”
Listening to the golden-clothed man finish speaking in one breath, Gu Xiao knew what the jade plate in his hand represented, and asked the golden-clothed man: "Is the brocade worship the group of brocade-clothed people in front of the He family's mansion?" ”
"Yes, they are the top three people in the He family ring in the past, and they are also the masters of the He family after successfully challenging the offerings." The man in gold said, his eyes couldn't help but show a look of yearning.
"I see, no wonder when I gave me this brocade pouch, some of the people in the brocade clothes were angry, and some of them had burning eyes." Gu Xiao suddenly realized.
"That's natural, those worshippers know what is in this brocade bag, not only that, but the person holding the jade medal is also their potential opponent, once you enter the top three, you will have the opportunity to challenge them." The man in gold said bluntly.
"Thank you, I already know below, say goodbye, my sister and I will go to the castle and wait for tomorrow." Gu Xiao had already understood the role of this jade plate, so he thought about saying goodbye to the three of them and rushed to the He family's courtyard.
"Wait a minute, if you don't give up, the three of us are willing to lead the way for Shaoxia."
Gu Xiao was a little surprised, since this golden-clothed man was one of the eight gold-clothed nurses, his status was naturally not low, and he was willing to be the one who guided the way.
When Gu Xiaozheng was puzzled, the man in gold seemed to see the young man's concerns, and said: "Young Xia don't have to worry too much, the head of the family has sent an order, whoever holds a jade card should be the same as worshipping, I am worried that Shaoxia doesn't know, so I want to lead the way for Shaoxia." ”
"That's the hard work." After thinking about it for a while, Gu Xiao thought that he could also inquire about the Chongyang pen and the green silk along the way, so he agreed to lead the way.
Several people immediately set off and headed towards the He Family Fort, and along the way, Gu Xiao remembered the secret weapon master that Jiang Ningxue mentioned and was defeated in the He family's ring.
"I still have one more thing to ask for, there can be a person with a broken arm in the He family's worship."
"You mean Brother Lu, since he broke his arm, he has lived in seclusion, and then he said goodbye without saying goodbye, and no one knows where he went."
I didn't expect the clues to be broken like this, Gu Xiao sighed secretly, but this person's words can't be fully believed, even if it is as he said, then the clues of Qingsi and Murong Gu can only be pinned on that Mr. Chongyang.
