The noon sun hung high, and finally the alley was illuminated, and there were more people in the alley, Xu saw General Sun Bi wearing the armor of the Yanbei Army, and the pedestrians saw it, and avoided it, not that they were afraid of the Yanbei soldiers, but under this blockade, everyone had the mentality that more things are better than less things.

Gu Xiao was silent, followed closely behind the cigarette pouch pot, about a cup of tea, stopped his steps with the cigarette pouch pot in front of him, looked back and said to a few people: "This is it."

Also stopped, Gu Xiao followed the gesture of the cigarette pouch and pot, and observed carefully, there was still no trace of a fight in the alley here, and there was no trace of true qi left by a master on the wall, everything was as calm as the road when he came.

After thinking about it for a while, worried that He Ji was peeping in the dark and seeing several figures, Gu Xiao hurriedly motioned for everyone to lower their pace, and then walked to the side of the cigarette pouch pot and asked in a low voice, "Brother Qixin, where did you find that rag here?"

The cigarette pouch turned his eyes slightly, turned to a corner of the alley, and replied softly: "Right there, I thought that there was nothing unusual about a few rags of cloth, but this cloth was not like ordinary people's clothes, so I brought it back."

After listening to the explanation of the cigarette pouch pot, Gu Xiao walked to the place where the cigarette pouch pot was indicated, squatted down, looked back and forth for a while, and saw the corner of the alley opposite, his eyes moved slightly, he immediately got up and stepped forward quickly.

Turning the corner, I saw two footprints on the wall, my eyes lit up, I leaned over to observe for a while, stepped on it according to the footprints, compared it slightly, and my heart suddenly became abrupt.

At this moment, he stepped on these footprints, just like when he first entered the alley, he found that someone was following him, and his hidden figure was against the alley wall when he was ambushed at the entrance of the alley.

This is in contrast to the clues of the broken cloth found in the cigarette pouch pot, and it can be determined that Miss Murong followed He Ji into the alley to this place, and he must have discovered the clue... Thinking of Miss Murong's wit and skill, if He Ji did it with her, there would definitely be traces left in this alley, and it would never be like now.

Gu Xiao crouched at the corner of the alley, frowning and thinking, his eyes swept over the corner of the alley and the surrounding houses... Seeing this, Jiang Ningxue only said that the young man was distressed by this matter, moved lightly to his side, leaned over, and spoke differently from the previous coldness, with a little gentle comfort.

"I know you're worried, since people have been lost, it's not a way to wait here, let's discuss it with Brother Qixin and General Sun, maybe we can think of what He Ji thinks in his heart..."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Listening to Jiang Ningxue's words, Gu Xiao seemed to be awakened, his eyes lit up for a moment, and he immediately grabbed Jiang Ningxue's wrist and asked.

As if shocked by Gu Xiao's reaction, Jiang Ningxue, who was grabbed by the wrist, was flustered, I don't know if it was because the young man's star-like eyes were staring straight at him, or the temperature of his palm kept coming from his wrist, and his panicked heartbeat a few times, only the surrounding scene was blurred, and only the young man in front of him was still clearly visible.

The sound of the young man's inquiry sounded in his ears again, Jiang Ningxue came back to her senses, and with a little flustery, she hurriedly said, "It's not a way to wait here, it's better to discuss it with Brother Qixin and General Sun..."

"It's not this, what did Miss Jiang say in the last sentence?" The young man still didn't mean to let go, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and continued to ask.

Thinking about it for a while, Jiang Ningxue was not sure, and said tentatively, "Maybe I can think of what He Ji is thinking of... Think..."

The young man let go of his hand, raised his eyes and muttered to himself, "Yes, what if I am He Ji and find that someone is following?"

As he spoke, he got up, walked to the right time, and put his back against the wall, looking at the place where Jiang Ningxue was crouching, and met the girl's slightly puzzled and concerned gaze.

"If it weren't for Miss Murong getting close to where he was staying, even if she found someone following, she wouldn't have stopped... This alley is like a labyrinth, and you can get rid of it with a few turns." The boy leaned against the wall of the alley, his eyes flickering, muttering to himself, as if he had thought of the key.

The cigarette pouch pot and Sun Bijiang didn't hear what the young man was muttering, but when they saw the young man's eyes gradually becoming firm, they knew that he had an idea.

The cigarette pouch pot stepped forward and asked, "Brother Mu, did you find anything?"

"The place where he settled is not far from here..." The young man became more and more sure of what he was thinking, and when he heard the cigarette pouch and pot opening, he immediately replied, and after a little thought, he didn't wait for the cigarette pouch and pot to open

Ask questions again.

"Brother Qixin, can you find the girl's whereabouts with the rags in your hand and these footprints?"

The cigarette pouch pot looked embarrassed, thought for a moment, and seemed to think of something: "This piece of rag is too small to be traced, but Brother Mu can be sure that He Ji's place is not far away, so you might as well look for it again to see if there are any other clues."

Gu Xiao immediately understood, and immediately spoke: "What Brother Qi said is good, let's go and see where there is this broken cloth in front of the surrounding houses."

Jiang Ningxue and General Sun Bi also felt that it was feasible, and several people immediately dispersed, looking for broken pieces of cloth in front of the houses in the alleys here...

Tea Kung Fu, when Gu Xiao was still looking for it, he heard Jiang Ningxue in front of a house at the end of the alley, raising his hand to everyone, and when several people saw this, they hurriedly lowered their steps and walked away.

The houses at the end of the alley were very quiet, and the courtyard seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, Gu Xiaoyun had enough internal strength to investigate the courtyard, but he didn't hear any movement, turned to Miss Jiang and the others, and shook his head lightly when he saw them.

Turning his gaze to Miss Jiang's hand, it was a piece of broken cloth, exactly the same as the cloth in the hand of the cigarette bag and pot, and she was immediately sure that this house was where He Ji was hiding, and motioned for everyone to retreat slightly, to the entrance of the alley before, and spoke in a low voice.

"I'm in the hospital to investigate, Miss Jiang and Brother Qixin can be backups, go to the back wall of this house, in case He Ji escapes, if the person who covers his face is really in this courtyard, I will entangle him, you take He Ji first, and leave after saving people."

"As you said, the masked man's martial arts realm is extremely high, how do you get out?" Jiang Ningxue said worriedly.

The young man remembered that he had fought with the masked man in the mountains behind Mojun, and he thought that he was not his opponent, but he had the confidence to deal with him with the snow Qixun, and after thinking about this, he said: "Don't worry, although that person's martial arts realm is high, his light skills are not as good as mine, and now that Yanbei City has been sealed, I will fight with him, and he will also worry that the movement will be too big, which will attract the defenders in Yanbei City to be on guard."

When Jiang Ningxue heard this, she also felt that the young man's words were reasonable, and if she didn't say any more, she led the cigarette bag and Sun Bi to the backyard of the house.

The three of them went to intercept the back road, Gu Xiao put his mind at ease, and when he saw that there was no one around, he immediately performed light skills, stepped on the ground, and turned over into the courtyard wall of the house without a sound.

Originally, he was worried that the martial arts realm would hear the sound of his admission to the hospital, and stood still for a moment, Gu Xiao had already used enough internal strength to guard the houses in the courtyard.

But when Gu Xiao saw the scene in the courtyard clearly, the vigilance suddenly disappeared, just because the doors of the houses in the courtyard were open, and they seemed to be uninhabited, just when the spring breeze was blowing, the door of the main house in the courtyard was blown half-covered, Gu Xiao hurriedly jumped away, stretched out his hand to block the door that was about to be covered, and took the opportunity to look inside.

Seeing this, Gu Xiao did not rush to investigate, but reflexively went to the firewood room in the courtyard to look for it, and after finding nothing, he finally turned around and went to the main house to explore.

Bowed in, looked around the house, paced it, only to see that the tea cup on the table was still rising, and the warm charcoal stove in the room was still making a "beep" sound.

When he went to the couch again, he saw that there was a slight break in the knot under the futon, Gu Xiao thought about it for a while, and reacted instantly in his heart, and walked out of the main house, but he heard the back wall of the courtyard, as if someone had internal force, climbed over the wall and entered, and if he didn't stay longer, he slapped the moon sword box with his hand.

With a sword roar, Broken Moon had already started, and he was on guard for a moment, but when he saw Miss Jiang leading the cigarette bag and pot into the courtyard, the guard was away for a while, Gu Xiao frowned and asked, "Miss Jiang can see someone coming out of the back wall?"

"I haven't seen you, Brother Qixin and I saw that you have been admitted to the hospital for a long time, and there is no news, so we want to come in and investigate, how is the room?" Jiang Ningxue opened her mouth to explain.

The young man's brows tightened, and he frowned and said, "There is no one in the room, it seems that we are still a step late."

The cigarette pouch blamed himself, "I should have stayed in this alley until you came."

"Brother Qixin, don't blame yourself, Miss Murong has been captured by that He Ji, if you lose again, I feel uneasy, I should have thought about it, how could the frightened bird sit still and wait to die." Gu Xiao put away his sword and comforted the cigarette pouch pot, then turned to General Sun Bi and continued to speak.

"General Sun, in Yanbei City, is there any other place like this that is easy to hide?"

Sun Bijiang pondered for a moment, sighed slightly, and said, "Yanbei City is for the people of the Northland

Raided Zhongzhou and built, in order to prevent the day of breaking the city, the door of Zhongzhou was wide open, and then many labyrinthine dark alleys were set up in Yanbei City to prepare for street battles, and then the Marquis of Jin pacified the northern land, and Yanbei City gradually became free of war, these dark alleys, Fang gradually lived by the people, not to mention hiding a few people, that is, a hundred and ten people, and even a battalion of soldiers, hidden in it, it is difficult to find it."

Hearing this, Gu Xiao sighed, he had already seen these dark alleys in Yanbei City, but he had a glimmer of hope in his heart, counting on General Sun Bi who was familiar with Yanbei and could give some advice.

"It seems that it is impossible to count on General Sun Bi, if you want to find someone, you can only rely on yourself, but He Ji has already escaped, and there is no way to track it now, what should I do..." Gu Xiao thought in his heart, but heard the sound of cigarette bags and pots coming from the main house.

.「 Brother Wood!"

When Gu Xiao heard this, he restrained his thoughts, searched for the sound and entered the house, only to see the cigarette bag and pot standing next to the stove in the house that had not yet been extinguished, and when he saw a few people entering the house, he immediately said, "The fire in this house has not been extinguished."

Gu Xiao naturally knew, and wondered, "So what?"

"According to what Brother Mu said and everything in this house, not long after they left, Brother Mu can know that only a few wealthy families can afford to use tasteless and smokeless silver charcoal, while ordinary people use ordinary charcoal to keep warm, and this ordinary charcoal has a strong smell of fireworks. The cigarette pouch pot seemed to be confident, and told Gu Xiao his plan.

Gu Xiao was overjoyed, there was hope for something that was already hopeless, and when he was about to open his mouth to discuss the matter of tracking, he heard the sound of a horn in the city.

"It's in the direction of the North Gate."

Gu Xiao and the others didn't know the meaning of the horn in the city, but General Sun Bi clearly knew that if it weren't for the important military situation in the city, it would never be possible to blow such a horn, and his face suddenly became solemn, and he explained to Gu Xiao and the others.

"You're saying there's a military situation at the North Gate?" Gu Xiao heard General Sun's words clearly and asked.

As he was asking, the sound of the horn started again, of different lengths, but it sounded like it contained a certain law, and when you heard it, you would know that it was a secret word in the army, but to know the meaning, you need people in the army to understand.

Gu Xiao and the others had to turn their gaze to General Sun Bi, who was frowning and listening to the sound of the horn... The horn was blown three times in a row before it stopped, and when he saw that Sun Bijiang seemed to be deep in thought, everyone was about to open his mouth and call Sun Bijiang softly, only to listen to him speak slowly.

"Oh no, it's the generals of the Yanbei camp who have already entered the city."
