Chapter 385 - Ventilation Message
was listening intently to the movement outside the wall, and suddenly felt that someone was quietly approaching in the courtyard wall under him, Gu Xiao immediately secretly lucked his true qi on guard, and heard the footsteps approaching him for a moment, and the internal force burst out from the palm of his hand, patted the wall, and cast the cloud to turn over and go down.
Before the person arrived, the palm came out first, and the palm containing the internal power of the robot swept away, approaching the owner of the footsteps behind him... But when Gu Xiao saw the footsteps clearly, he was immediately surprised.
Just because the reflection in Gu Xiao's eyes is a small child's figure, a pair of eyes are particularly clear, and he is looking at himself with joy at the moment.
"Mu En..." Seeing Gu Xiao's face, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and opened his mouth to exclaim softly.
Withdrew her palm, turned over and jumped away, only for a moment when she opened her mouth, Gu Xiao's figure flickered, and she had already reached her side, worried that her opening voice would attract the attention of the killer outside the wall, and for a moment she covered the child's mouth, she hurriedly gestured to silence her.
The child was smart, and he didn't care about Xiao Duoyan, he knew what he meant, and he was busy keeping his mouth shut, just flashing a pair of eyes, quietly looking at the handsome face of Engong in front of him.
Fortunately, Gu Xiao covered the child's mouth in time, and everyone outside the wall did not notice it, but after arranging the plan, they quietly retreated.
Hearing that there was no movement outside the wall, Gu Xiao did not relax his vigilance, but jumped on the wall, looked outward, and saw that there was indeed no one, so he turned over and went down to the child's side, but before he could speak, the child handed over his inquiring gaze, as if asking if the person outside the wall had retreated.
"Don't worry, they're all gone." Gu Xiao whispered to the child.
Xiaodouzi was full of joy when she saw Engong again, and the sound of the dispute came from her and Siwei Xiaoliu, outsiders sounded like a dispute, but in fact, the two listened to Gu Xiao's words and entered the city to wait, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no news from Gu Xiao, Xiaodouzi didn't want to wait any longer, so she wanted to beg Xiaoliu and try to take her out of the city.
Xiaoliu knew that Engong's martial arts and resourcefulness were superior, and he was worried that once he and Xiaodouzi went out of the city, it would be a burden to Engong, so he persuaded him, but with the capture of Engong Mojun, and after waiting in the city for a long time, the child's heart rose and he insisted on going, so Xiaoliu wanted to go out of the city.
Seeing that Gu Xiao was safe and sound this time, Xiaodouzi's heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell, and tears appeared in his eyes: "Engong, you are finally here... Those people outside the walls..."
Gu Xiao was worried about finding He Ji's whereabouts in his heart, and he didn't have time to explain the reason to Xiaodouzi, so he picked up Xiaodouzi, took Xiaoliu to the side, and said in a low voice: "It's too complicated, it's too late, you take Xiaodouzi and leave the Yunlai Inn quickly... Let's go to Yunxiang Pavilion and settle down first."
"But... This Yunlai Inn is the property of the Mo family, why should we go to Yunxiang Pavilion near and far?" Xiao Liu asked puzzled, Xiao Liu and Xiao Douzi had no internal strength, and the conversation between the people outside the wall was not heard clearly, so they were puzzled.
Gu Xiao didn't want the two of them to be involved in such a big conspiracy, and he didn't want the two of them to die innocently because of this, so his heart moved slightly, and he immediately spoke: "I am in the Yunxiang Pavilion and have opened the upper room, so I think..."
"Xiaodouzi knows, Engong wants me to live closer to the sixth brother, Engong can move to Yunlai Inn, this is the Mo family's property, and the food and accommodation are much better than Yunxiang Pavilion, and Engong is my benefactor of Mojun..." Xiaodouzi didn't know why, but opened his mouth to invite Gu Xiao to come to the inn.
However, Siwei Xiaoliu saw the worry in Engong's eyes, although he didn't know what was going on, but after the incident in Mojun, he was already convinced of Gu Xiao, and immediately said to the little bean in Gu Xiao's arms: "Engong said this, there must be a reason for him, let's listen to Engong's words, anyway, where you and I live, it's the same."
Xiao Douzi thought for a while, looked at Engong and Xiao Liuzi, and immediately said, "Then listen to Engong... By the way, the belongings that Engong left in Mo County are in my room with the sixth brother at this moment, and I will go and get them."
After finishing speaking, he struggled to jump out of Gu Xiao's arms, and was about to reflexively come to the inn to get it, but Gu Xiao was thinking about the ambush of the killer outside Shicai Alley and the day of the military rule, and he already had a plan in his heart, so he just took this opportunity to investigate and understand the Yunlai Inn first, so as to facilitate his actions that day.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao stopped Xiaodouzi and said, "Wait, can you take me with you."
Naturally, Xiaodouzi will not refuse, and he will be there immediately
The front led the way, and entered the Yunlai Inn from the back hall.
Entering the inn, Gu Xiao knew why Xiaodouzi said that Yunlai Inn was better than Yunxiang Pavilion in terms of food and accommodation, not to mention that the inn was decorated with luxury, that is, the people who served, all dressed in brocade clothes, said to be an inn, but it was more like a dreamy place in the poetry of the ancients.
At present, although Yanbei has been closed down, and has been ordered by Shan Bin, the Yunlai Inn has been chartered to carry out the Yanbei military example, and there are no customers in the store, but these people in the store are still going back and forth, and they are busy.
Xiaodouzi was familiar with Gu Xiao's temperament, led Gu Xiao to avoid everyone, and explained in a low voice: "Engong, Uncle Mo came to the inn in this cloud, but he attaches great importance to the invitation of guests, even if the city is closed now, although many big families do not go out, they send idle men to come to ask for it, no, the inn is very busy, not to mention that there is a military routine for General Shan to charter the inn, so it will be so busy."
Gu Xiao's eyes swept over the busy figure, but in fact, he kept every place in the Yunlai Inn in mind, especially the busy vestibule layout one by one.
Follow Xiaodouzi up to the third floor, to a most quiet room, Xiaodouzi pushed open the door, lured Gu Xiao in, and hurriedly got into the room, opened the wooden cabinet next to the couch, looked back and smiled at Gu Xiao.
"Don't worry, your belongings are here, I see a lot of valuable things, I'm worried that others will get bad when they see it, I do it myself, clean and stack it, and there will never be a second person to see it."
Gu Xiao closed the door, saw that Xiaodouzi was so careful, he was grateful, stroked Xiaodouzi's slightly cold face, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for you."
Feeling the temperature of Engong's palm, Xiaodouzi raised his little face, his eyes showed a little anger, and he pursed his mouth and said seriously: "Compared to Engong saving Xiaodouzi and saving the lives of all Mo County, why bother, if Engong says such things again, he will look down on us Mo County people."
Obviously didn't expect Xiaodouzi to be so serious, Gu Xiao smiled, scratched his head and said, "Okay, it's my mistake, there will be no next time."
Hearing Gu Xiao's answer, Xiaodouzi smiled again, took Gu Xiao's hand and leaned over to check the objects in the cabinet.
Looking at the familiar Broken Moon Sword Box, Gu Xiao stretched out his hand to caress it and muttered, "Old friend, I haven't seen you for a few days."
Eyes moved slightly, and on the sword box, there was a small package, turning the sky over the unicorn seal, the gold medal order arrow, and the Yingli post... There are even silver tickets that were snatched from the steward Hu when he disguised Quan Tuoguang in Liuzhuang that day, and they all lay quietly in the package.
Even his own green shirt was also cleaned and neatly stacked aside, and the damaged places in the valley and Mojun were also sewn intimately... His heart was full of warmth, and he stroked Xiaodouzi's head again, and said worriedly: "Remember, after I leave later, you and Little Sixth Brother will go to Tianxiang Pavilion, and if you don't see me, don't go out."
Although he didn't know what was powerful, but looking at Engong's serious appearance, Xiaodouzi said sensibly: "Engong don't worry, I and the sixth brother will leave here, and if we don't see Engong, we will never leave the door of Tianxiang Pavilion."
Relieved, Gu Xiao took the green shirt and put it on, put the things he was carrying into his arms, and picked up the Broken Moon Sword Box, wanting to rush to the previous alley to meet Miss Jiang and the others.
Walking to the window, he was about to jump down, but he heard an angry voice in the Yunlai Inn: "Extravagance has become a trend, what kind of system, Shan Bin is bold, if General Wan is still there, he will not be spared."
This voice Gu Xiao was familiar, it was only a short time in the morning, but he didn't want to meet again at the Yunlai Inn, closed the window and walked to the door reflexively, opened the crack in the door, and looked down.
In the vestibule, the two generals face each other, wearing armor, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, the current general, with short hair and leopard eyes, is standing in the vestibule, angrily scolding the soldiers behind him, one has long hair, his face is calm, frowning and silent, as if he is contemplative.
"General Fuku." Gu Xiao spoke in a low voice, his eyes showed a little joy, and now he was thinking of meeting with Miss Jiang and the others, and informing General Sun Bi of the ambush killer outside the Yunlai Inn, so that he could try to prevent this assassination.
Looking at the soldiers who followed closely behind the Fu brothers, he knew at a glance that these people must be the two sent by Shan Bin to guard the two, and it was difficult to see the two of them now.
After thinking about it again and again, Gu Xiao looked at Xiaodouzi, seemed to have an idea, and immediately called Xiaodouzi
, whispered a few words, then closed the door, and no longer waited, jumped out of the window on the third floor, and went towards the meeting place at the entrance of the alley...
Xiaodouzi got Gu Xiao's message, his big eyes turned slightly, he made up his mind, slipped out of the door, and crept down the stairs slowly, and when he reached the third or fourth step, he deliberately slipped under his feet, rolled down the stairs and fell.
This movement not only attracted everyone in the Yunlai Inn to look back, but also aroused the vigilance of many Yanbei sergeants in the vestibule.
"Qiang—Qiang—"
More than ten sabers were instantly unsheathed, and the leading captain, who had just been reprimanded by Fukang, raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What person!"
As soon as the words came out, a Yanbei sergeant came to investigate quickly, and saw that it was a little girl holding her ankle and moaning in pain, so she lost her vigilance, put the knife into the sheath, and looked back to the captain and said, "Don't worry, my lord, it's just a female doll, falling down the steps."
The lieutenant was not at ease, and wanted to go to investigate, but remembering General Shan's military order, he stopped his pace and ordered, "Bring it to me!"
The two soldiers who came to investigate moved when they heard the order, picked up the little bean who was crying on the ground, and walked quickly to the vestibule.
Seeing that the female doll was crying miserably, the captain was also moved with compassion, signaled to the soldiers behind him to put away their blades, stepped forward, and comforted: "Little doll, your ankles are fine, why don't you let a few brothers take you to buy some playthings, okay?"
Unexpectedly, such a soft tone made the girl cry even more, attracting the attention of people in the inn, and in this way, the captain was embarrassed, and all the soldiers behind him also stood in place, at a loss.
The Fu brothers, although they led the soldiers strictly, but neither of them had a family, and they were also pitiful when they saw the girl crying miserably, and before Fury could speak, the hot Fukang couldn't suppress the fire, and shouted to the captain: "Your face, don't say that this little girl is an adult, and you will be scared by you, get out of the way, don't go to the city to ask for a doctor."
Reprimanded by Fukang, the captain retreated, turned around and ordered someone to invite the doctor in the city to come and meet, Fukang saw this, and then immediately put away his anger, raised his pace slightly, and walked towards the girl.
The lieutenant retreated, pursed his lips, and muttered in a low voice, "Speaking of me, your side is not much better."
As soon as the words fell, I saw a magical scene, in the eyes of the soldiers, the unsmiling General Fukang, a moment ago, the girl's crying stopped, which made the generals scratch their heads, and also made Fukang feel complacent.
Furui even smiled rarely, and said to Fukang: "Brother, I see that this girl is destined for you, so you might as well accept it as a righteous daughter, it's not bad."
Fukang laughed proudly, and shouted to the captain of Shicai: "See, Lao Tzu is a person with a baby's heart, learn something from Lao Tzu, and when I go back, I will also tell you General Jiadan."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and scolded the soldier holding the girl baby and said, "Hurry up, let me teach you how to make the baby happy."
Although the two soldiers were not under the command of the Fu brothers, but the official rank was there, and they did not dare to disobey such a trivial matter, so they had to carefully hand the girl in their arms to Fukang. Look at the book
"Stay away, don't scare her again!" After taking the girl, Fukang scolded a few soldiers on his side, and waited for the soldiers to take a few steps back, before looking back at the girl, taking a closer look, but it was familiar, but I don't know, where have I seen it, and when I was about to think about it, I was hugged by the girl's neck.
The Fu brothers, who have brought soldiers all their lives, and the people they see are all rough soldiers, and being on the first floor of the female doll aroused the softness of Fukang's heart, and he immediately took away his thoughts and coaxed: "Good doll, don't be afraid, with your Uncle Fu, no one dares to bully you..."
Fukang coaxed the girl in his mouth, and was about to continue to speak, but a childish voice sounded in his ears.
"General, my ankle is fine, but I pretend, someone asked me to help spread a message to my lord, 'Shan Bin wants to rebel, there are killers inside and outside the inn, the city gate is agreed, I will not miss the appointment, tonight, come to see you."
