Chapter 1 of the Crane Scroll

On the outskirts of Le'an City, a forest is lush and green, but if you look closely, you can see the soldiers lurking in it, and only the sound of birds can be heard quietly.

Zuo Ci and Shen Yunzhou hid behind the tree, just waiting for the opportunity to rush into it. Shen Yunzhou had just stretched out his hand and was about to make a gesture to go into battle, when Zuo Ci suddenly grabbed his hand and was silent.

"Someone, wait a minute."

Only then did I see a young man with three people dressed as family members, quietly walking from the side of the stockade, several people were clumsy, Shen Yunzhou stared at those people and raised his eyebrows.

"Is there any other type of bandit in this way?"

Zuo Ci couldn't help but laugh and shook her head slightly, in fact, she didn't know if she was friend or foe, if it was just the citizens of Le'an City, she couldn't let them get hurt, and now was not a good opportunity to attack.

Gu Changan took three family members and walked quietly outside the village, and the person behind him accidentally stepped on a branch, and the sound was extremely brittle, and several people hurriedly lay down, but they didn't see any mountain bandits coming to check, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young master, don't panic, the mountain bandits are drinking happy wine at this moment, it's okay for us to sneak in now!"

Gu Changan stretched out his hand and hit the head of the family.

"What are you doing by sneaking in! said that the young master was going to order this village, and he would save the girl while they were fighting the fire. ”

A few people didn't know that there were countless people staring at them behind them, and Gu Changan patted the family.

"Is the oil poured?"

Jia Ding nodded, looked flattering, and handed the fire fold to Gu Changan.

"Young master, let's light the fire in a moment, and if you enter through the small door at the back, you will definitely be able to save her."

Gu Changan nodded, turned around and walked towards the small door behind him. Zuo Ci patted Shen Yunzhou and lowered his voice.

"Looking at them like that, it is estimated that they are preparing to set fire, it should be the citizens of Le'an City, and they will set fire to the most suitable time for us later."

Shen Yunzhou nodded, he saw that the young man was always a little familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen it, but at the moment he didn't have time to think about it.

Several family members lit the fire fold and placed it on the wooden wall of the village, with oil as an auxiliary, and it quickly ignited, and the family members hurriedly ran in the direction of Gu Chang'an.

More than a dozen mountain bandits came out of the stockade with water, Zuo Ci and Shen Yunzhou glanced at each other, stretched out their hands to make a gesture to charge, and the soldiers rushed forward, and those mountain bandits had been subdued before they could react.

The mountain bandits in the village also began to fight when they heard the movement, and in the small courtyard decorated with red silk and red lanterns in the backyard, a girl in the room covered her red head and cried non-stop.

Hearing someone push the door in, she clenched her hands tightly, the red hijab was lifted, she saw that it was Gu Changan, and her heart was also relieved.

"Hurry up, if those mountain bandits come in a while, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go"

The red hijab was thrown on the ground, and the two ran out, but they heard the sound of fighting in the stockade, and Gu Changan stopped her.

"You go back to that room and hide, I'll go to the yard and see what's going on"

The girl nodded and hid in the room, she also knew that if she had to follow Gu Changan, she was afraid that she would drag him back.

Gu Changan picked up a bamboo pole from the courtyard, and several mountain bandits ran in, looked at Gu Changan, and immediately rushed up.

Gu Changan took a bamboo pole and beat several mountain bandits to the ground, but he did not hurt their lives. Shen Yunzhou and Zuo Ci rushed over and saw this scene, several mountain bandits were lying on the ground, and Gu Changan was holding a bamboo pole.

Zuo Ci was holding a red cherry halberd in his hand, and Gu Changan's posture was somewhat similar to hers.

"You knocked these people down?"

Gu Changan nodded, and when he saw Zuo Ci wearing military armor, he also relieved himself. He knew that this bandit would happen, but the girl couldn't wait, and if she didn't save it today, she was afraid it would be too late.

When the girl in the room saw this scene, she went out and made a big salute.

"Thank you Gu Gongzi and the two generals for saving their lives."

Zuo Ci looked at it, and realized that Gu Changan was trying to save people, but after all, he was a little reckless.

"The little woman is the daughter of the Orion family outside the city, and these mountain bandits have been particularly arrogant lately, and they will forcibly kidnap me and marry them, otherwise they will kill my whole family."

Zuo Ci gritted his teeth fiercely, these mountain bandits are all bastards who bully men and women, but the leader of the mountain bandits actually committed suicide by taking poison when he saw them, presumably not some hooligans.

"Don't worry, there won't be anything like this again."

Zuo Ci ordered his soldiers to send the girl back to Orion's house, and glanced at Gu Chang'an.

"The posture is good, but you shouldn't be good at martial arts, don't do such reckless things in the future."

Gu Changan put down the bamboo pole in his hand and saluted.

"Since there are two generals here, then I won't get in the way, go back first, and I will practice martial arts well in the future!"

Gu Changan left with his family, and Zuo Ci and Shen Yunzhou cleaned up the battle situation in the stockade with the soldiers.

When the two of them rode on their horses and headed in the direction of Rongcheng, Shen Yunzhou remembered why he looked at Gu Changan a little familiar.

"Ah Ci, presumably you will have a junior brother soon."

Zuo Ci was a little puzzled, tilting his head to look at Shen Yunzhou.

"I have a junior brother?"

Shen Yunzhou smiled, pulled the reins and shouted a sentence, and the two distanced themselves.

Zuo Ci hurriedly chased after him, and the cavalry behind him also chased after him.

A month ago, Shen Yunzhou came to Le'an City to buy Le'an milk cake for Zuo Ci, and saw an old man pulling a teenager on the street, chattering non-stop.

"I think you are a genius, learn halberds with me, and serve Dongzhou in the future!"

"I don't care, you have to learn from me."

That young man is Gu Chang'an, and the old man is Zuo Ci's master, Dongzhou Halberd Immortal - Xiahou Chuan.

——

Gu Changan took those family members back to the house, and when he entered the house, he carefully dodged, as if he was hiding from someone.

A family member accidentally bumped into a person in front of him, and a series of three people fell, and Gu Changan was a little helpless.

"I said be careful, let the old man find out, you have to chase me and let me learn the halberd."

Several family members hurriedly got up from the ground and followed Gu Changan into the mansion quietly, but they didn't understand how this famous gentleman in Le'an City could be so careful.

"Young Master, what's wrong? Whoever dares to pester him on weekdays is afraid that he will be beaten! ”

"Be quiet! Our young master is all doing the right thing for heaven, this time it's just respecting the elder, in case the old man wants to slander our young master! ”

A few family members muttered in the back, and Gu Changan had a black line on his face, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

I think I, Gu Changan, am also a smart person, why are these family members like this? I really thought it was like in the book, and I couldn't hear what was said!

Gu Changan didn't see that on the tree opposite Gu's mansion, an old man with a branch in his mouth watched him sneak into the mansion.

"Stinky boy, still hiding from me. Tomorrow I won't be able to hide from you! ”
