Chapter 054 Survive the Near Death and Give Advice
"Uncle! Uncle! What about the father? โ
Zhao Ceying and more than ten guards brought by Gu Er joined the battle group, and there were archers like Gu Er who were secretly attacking, but in a moment, they killed twenty or thirty black-clothed and masked assassins, and the rest saw that the situation was not right, and immediately prepared to evacuate, but unfortunately Gu Er and others all rode horses, and under the rush, except for a few who escaped into the mountains and forests, most of them were caught.
But at this moment, those black-clothed people who were caught did not hesitate to bite the poison sac that had been hidden in their mouths one by one, and then black blood overflowed from the corners of their mouths, and they were silent in an instant.
"Dead?" Gu Er was very surprised, he didn't want these black-clothed assassins to be dead soldiers who were raised by others.
Gu Er's eyes were quick, and he immediately turned over and dismounted, and unloaded the jaw of one of the dead soldiers who was about to commit suicide by taking poison, but unfortunately the reaction of the others was not as fast as Gu Er's, and he watched the dead soldiers bite through the poison sac one by one, black blood overflowed from the corners of their mouths, and even their faces were dyed into sauce.
"Uncle, how are you?" Zhao Ceying held the man with messy hair, ragged clothes, knife wounds on his shoulders and chest, and a feather arrow on his back, sat down next to him, checked the strong man's injuries, and asked with concern.
"I'm fine! Hiss! As soon as his buttocks sat down and touched the wounds on his body, Shen Congxing subconsciously gasped.
"It's so badly injured and said it's okay!" Zhao Ceying frowned and said worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just some skin trauma!" Shen Congxing endured the pain, squeezed out a smile, and said: "The thief chased him hard, fortunately, the night was dark, so I changed clothes with my brother-in-law, pretended to be my brother-in-law to lure the thief away, the situation was urgent, I could only hide my brother-in-law in a trap set by Orion in the mountains, you quickly take someone to find your brother-in-law first!" โ
Gu Er also walked over, looking at the wound on Shen Congxing's body and the feather arrow stuck in his back, seeing that Shen Congxing still had a smile on his face, although he was a little reluctant and his brows were furrowed, but this calmness alone was worthy of admiration.
"These knife wounds are okay, it's just skin trauma, but this arrow wound has to be treated immediately, if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that it will ยทยทยทยทยทยท."
Shen Congxing grabbed Zhao Ceying's hand and said, "Don't worry about me for now, I can still hold on, hurry up and save my brother-in-law, so as not to cause another accident." โ
Gu Erdao: "If my brother believes me, it is better for me to stay and take care of General Shen, and my brother will quickly take someone to save the regiment and practice." โ
Zhao Ceying is not the one who looks forward and hesitates, and immediately arches his hand at Gu Er and says, "Then there is Brother Lao Gu!" โ
Then he kowtowed to Shen Congxing again, then turned around and got on the horse and left with people.
Shen Congxing looked at Gu Er, who was born, and couldn't help asking, "This brother is so tight, it must be Gu Dujian, right?" โ
Gu Er arched his hand and said: "In Xia Gu Tingye, I just arrived in Yuzhou yesterday, thanks to Brother Zhao's hospitality, I hit it off with Brother Zhao at first sight, I heard that Tuanlian was assassinated, and I came to help!" โ
"Gu Dujian's name Shen has heard of it for a long time! It's just that I didn't expect Gu Dujian's archery skills to be so exquisite! Shen Congxing looked at Gu Er curiously, he was the same age as his nephew, but his skills were really good, especially just now, that shooting skill really made Shen Congxing admire.
Gu Erdao: "There is no need to say these polite words, let's treat Brother Shen's wounds first!" โ
"Stones! Get the wine! As he spoke, he beckoned to the stone next to him.
Shi walked to the horseback and took off the wine bag, walked to the two of them, unplugged it, and handed the wine bag to Gu Er.
When the cork was removed, a rich smell of wine escaped from the jug made of cowhide, and the stone took out a small box from the package next to the horse's back, which contained scissors, gauze, and a special gold sore medicine provided by Wang Chong.
First cut off the arrow shaft behind Shen Congxing, then untied Shen Congxing's clothes one by one, treated the wound with spirits, disinfected and sterilized, and sprinkled some gold sore medicine.
Finally, there was the arrow wound in the back, Gu Er handed a wooden stick to Shen Congxing and said, "Brother Shen! โ
Shen Congxing shook his head and said, "Brother Gu, just let it go!" โ
Gu Er and Shi glanced at each other, the two of them pressed Shen Congxing's shoulders one after the other, Gu Er buckled the remaining half of the arrow shaft with pliers, and pulled it out hard, and suddenly blood splattered out, spilling Gu Er's body.
The severe pain made Shen Congxing clench his teeth tightly, clenched his fists with both hands, and the green tendons on his arms also burst out.
After some treatment, Shen Congxing was already sweating profusely, his face was pale, obviously because of the excessive blood loss all of a sudden, Gu Ertong helped him on horseback, and slowly walked towards Yuzhou City, and after a while, a soldier came to report, saying that Zhao Ceying had found Zhao Zongquan, and Shen Congxing was completely relieved.
Maybe this is the will of heaven, although Wang Chong interfered, but Gu Er still dealt with Yuzhou's side in the end.
Zhao Tuanlian was in the house, Zhao Zongquan bathed and changed his clothes, and changed his clothes, so he ran out to thank Gu Er personally.
After a few words of greeting, Gu Er asked what he wanted to know most at the moment: "I wonder if Tuan Lian knows the origin of those dead soldiers?" โ
Zhao Zongquan's expression changed slightly, his face showed a little frightened, and he shook his head and said, "I really don't know this." โ
"What kind of enemies do you have in the group practice?" Gu Er asked again, as if he realized that he had asked too much, but Gu Er still said what he thought in his heart: "This group of dead soldiers has extraordinary combat power, even if they are put in the army, they can be called elite, and they all regard death as home, and the people behind them must be extraordinary." โ
Zhao Zongquan looked confused, and he didn't have a clue at all.
Zhao Ceying said with a solemn face: "Don't hide it from Brother Gu, my father and son have lived in Yuzhou for a long time, and they have always been kind to others, and they have never been evil to others, let alone made enemies." โ
"That's the case, it's strange, for no reason, who would think about the life of a group practice!" Gu Er said with a frown.
"Could it be the thieves?" Zhao Ceying guessed.
Gu Er shook his head and said, "No, if this group of anti-thieves had such elite dead soldiers, the Huaixi rebellion would not have gone so smoothly!" โ
Shen Congxing also said: "Dead soldiers like this can't be trained overnight, we also fought with anti-thieves at the beginning, but those anti-thieves are far inferior to this group of dead soldiers." โ
"Who could it be?" Zhao Ceying said puzzledly: "My father and son live in Yuzhou and have never made enemies with anyone, who would want my father's life so aggressively?" โ
An idea suddenly flashed in Gu Er's mind, and then he looked at Zhao Zongquan and his son in surprise.
Gu Er's expression naturally couldn't hide from the few people present, and Zhao Ceying asked directly, "Brother Gu, what did you think?" โ
Gu Er squinted his eyes and said: "A close friend of mine once said that all the bizarre and mysterious things in this world, those so-called unsolved cases, as long as all the impossibilities are removed, the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, will definitely be the truth of the matter." โ
"What does Brother Gu mean by this?" Zhao Ceying asked puzzled.
Gu Er's eyes condensed slightly, and he looked at Zhao Zongquan and said: "Those who can raise such dead soldiers are either big families, wealthy families, or princes and nobles!" โ
"Tuan Lian has lived in Yuzhou for a long time, and he has never made enemies with others, but he has provoked the pursuit of the dead, so there is only one explanation left."
"What's the explanation?"
The eyes of Zhao Zongquan, Zhao Ceying and Shen Congxing all converged on Gu Er.
Gu Er raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Zongquan and said, "It must be the existence of the group training, threatening some people." โ
"How is that possible?" Zhao Zongquan looked incredulous: "I am a small Yuzhou regiment training envoy, and the official is only five grades, who can I threaten?" โ
Gu Er said: "Didn't you forget another identity of group training?" โ
Zhao Zongquan is not a stupid person, Gu Er's words have been talked about this, how can he still not understand the meaning of Gu Er's words: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" My father and son have never been valued by the imperial court after Taizong, otherwise they would not have been nesting in Yuzhou for so many years, impossible! โ
"Father!" Zhao Ceying also understood: "I think what Brother Gu said makes sense!" โ
"Haven't you forgotten that some time ago, my father received the secret decree from the orphan?"
"Ying'er!" Zhao Zongquan immediately raised his voice and drank urgently.
Zhao Ceying stood up and said, "Father, if it weren't for Brother Gu's help today, how could I have saved my father so smoothly." โ
Zhao Zongquan's face flashed with a little shame.
Zhao Ceying turned around and arched his hand at Gu Er and said, "Brother Gu, don't blame, my father was frightened today, so this is ยทยทยทยทยทยท."
"Brother Zhao doesn't have to be like this!" Gu Er waved his hand and said calmly: "You and I are like each other at first sight, why do you need to say these unseemly words." โ
Zhao Ceying still arched his hand at Gu Eryi and said: "I think that my father and son have been neglected in Yuzhou for so many years, and the imperial court has never taken care of them, but now a secret letter from Tokyo suddenly came, ordering my father and son to do their best to assist the new monarch in the future, but I don't know why?" Brother Gu Wen Taowu is strategic, his chest is full of splendor, I wonder if I can refer to one or two for my father and son? โ
To be honest, Gu Er was indeed a little surprised, but he didn't expect Zhao Ceying to be so concerned about himself, and even discussed such confidential matters with him, you know, the two have only known each other for one night.
"In order to save my father, Brother Gu spared no effort and ran around all night, such a great kindness, my Zhao Ceying is unforgettable, if Brother Gu has concerns in his heart, he will treat the younger brother as if he didn't ask anything!"
"Brother Zhao!" Seeing that Zhao Ceying was so honest and trusted in him, Rao is Gu Er couldn't help but be a little moved, and even said: "That being the case, then I'll talk about some of my guesses?" โ
Zhao Ceying's face suddenly showed joy: "Thank you, Brother Gu!" โ
Gu Erdao: "Speaking of which, it is nothing more than the dispute between the princes, and now the storage position in the court is vacant, and among the clans, King Yong and King Yan are the closest to the bloodline of the official family, and the voice is also the highest, but the storage position has been vacant for five or six years, but the official family has not been able to determine the candidate for the heir.
But after writing over the years, King Yong and King Yan have long been unaware of how many courtiers have been enveloped and how much power they have developed in private.
In my opinion, the one who sent this group of dead soldiers must be one of the two of them, just in case, whether it is a secret edict from Tuogu or something else, just taking the lives of Tuan Lian and Brother Zhao is tantamount to strangling the threat in the cradle! โ
"After all, that's the Ninety-Five Supreme! Grasp the life and death of the people in the world! Gu Er said with emotion.
As soon as Gu Er's words came out, Zhao Zongquan and Zhao Ceying, father and son, changed color together, and Shen Congxing next to him was also shocked.
"Father!" Zhao Ceying immediately bowed to Zhao Zongquan and said, "The child thinks that what Brother Gu said is very true. โ
Zhao Zongquan staggered back a few steps with a panicked face, and sat down on the carved back chair: "Why is it here!" Why is it so far? โ
Zhao Ceying looked at Gu Er and said: "In this way, as long as my father and son are still alive for a day, it will be a thorn in their eyes, a thorn in the flesh, and they must be removed?" โ
Gu Er nodded and said, "That's the case!" โ
When Zhao Zongquan heard this, the panic on his face became even worse, he slapped his hands with a hammer, shook his body, his eyes wandered around, anxious and hurried, like an ant on a hot pot, and said: "How is this good!" How good is that! โ
Shen Congxing next to him suddenly said, "Didn't we catch a live mouth?" โ
Zhao Ceying's eyes lit up: "Yes, pry his mouth open, you won't know who sent them!" โ
Even if Zhao Ceying dragged Shen Congxing to interrogate the man, Gu Er did not leave immediately, but went with him.
The three of them worked together, coerced and enticed, with a stick and a radish, but with a few sticks of incense, they asked the person behind the scenes from the mouth of the dead man.
"It's King Yan?" Zhao Ceying looked shocked and looked at Gu Er in surprise, and couldn't help but admire Gu Er more and more in his heart.
"What if you know?" Gu Er shook his head and said, "If it doesn't work once, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be a second time or a third time!" โ
Shen Congxing said with a solemn expression: "We can block it once, but we may not be able to block it for the second time and the third time!" โ
This time it was Zhao Zongquan's luck to escape from the group of assassins, and even more fortunately, after escaping, it was Shen Congxing who found Zhao Zongquan first, if he was found by that group of assassins first, I am afraid that now Zhao Ceying and what they see is Zhao Zongquan's corpse.
"Brother Gu!" Zhao Ceying looked at Gu Er and said, "Brother Gu is extremely wise, I don't know if you can give me some advice?" โ
Gu Erdao: "For today's plan, the only way to survive is to die!" โ
"Dead to live?" Zhao Ceying asked with a questioning face: "Please also ask Brother Gu to make it clear!" โ
"Now that things have come to this point, Brother Zhao thinks that between you and King Yan, there is still room for redemption?" Gu Er looked at Zhao Ceying and said.
Zhao Ceying's expression was a little indignant: "My father almost died, how can he still be relieved!" โ
Gu Erdao: "In this case, then you can only fight with King Yan to the end!" โ
"Isn't that hitting a stone with an egg?" Zhao Ceying said.
Gu Er said: "It's naturally not okay to directly hit the hard, but I don't know if Brother Zhao has the guts?" โ
In fact, Zhao Ceying already had an idea in his heart, but he was alone, and Zhao Ceying knew his father Zhao Zongquan's temperament, so he deliberately asked.
Zhao Ceying said: "The head is off, it's just a big scar, eighteen years later, he is a good man again, but if he dies in Yuzhou so inexplicably, it is really not worth it!" โ
The two eyes met in mid-air, and faintly, there seemed to be sparks splashing in the void, and just by making eye contact, the two had already seen each other's intentions.
