9. Firelight

Accept the Colt python, as well as the six bullets that come with it, according to Han Xiao, this thing is very expensive, and it is already very generous to give him six bullets.

"Without further ado, Han Shao, Xu Shao, I'm leaving." Gu Ning said goodbye to the two of them, holding the gun in his arms, the cold feeling was particularly comforting, and the sense of security doubled.

Coming to the courtyard briskly, he found that Liu Jia and the others were like great enemies, for fear that Changxing Medicine Store would be unfavorable to him.

Gu Ning smiled, "Let's go." ”

With the help of Han Zhiyang, the group went out of the city smoothly, and judging from the position of the moon overhead, it was about half past three in the evening. After calculating the time, if you speed up, you will return to Mao County at five o'clock, Gu Ning arranged for the people in the black market to respond, transfer the medicinal materials first, and then send the Danshi over to refine...

A whole set of processes was deduced in my head several times to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"No problem, it's been dotted up and down, and no one will have trouble with the silver." Gu Ning cheered up.

Out of Tong County, the carriage traveled at the fastest speed, arrived at Mao County earlier than expected, the sky was still dark, and everything was going well.

Gu Ning turned off the main road and entered an overgrown road.

It is easy to have an accident when driving a carriage to the big city gate, and Gu Ning is going to go through a small gate for transporting grain that was urgently built during the famine in Hao County in the past.

As soon as the famine passed, it was blocked by the government, but some people in the black market bought off the officers and soldiers, and only loosely blocked the small grain gate with stones to deal with the superiors, and then dismantled it when it was used.

Gu Ning touched the four hundred taels of silver in his pocket, and the price of this trip to the back door was not small.

Liu Jia said: "Young master, are the people from the black market reliable? ”

"If you give enough money, you can rely on it." Gu Ning said: "The other party is from the Dasheng Dart Bureau, and he also accepts mercenaries and smuggling work in private. ”

"Miao Dart Head? I heard that this person was only one foot away from stepping into the Four Condensation Realm. Liu Jia was in awe, "This kind of big man can't get along with us." ”

Half a pillar of incense kung fu, Gu Ning and the others walked out of the dilapidated path, not far in front of the tall city wall of Hao County, and there was a two-meter square gap below, which was the former grain transportation gate.

The grain door is usually blocked, but now it has indeed been opened, and everyone is even more relaxed, just waiting for the successful completion of the task of hiding the goods.

Gu Ning didn't rush over, he asked people to stop on the spot, took out a torch and lit it, and shook it to the opposite side. This is a customary practice, the people at the head of the dart will see it, they will confirm that there are no officers and soldiers around, if it is safe, they will also light torches, and then they can enter the city with confidence.

Lighting the torch and shaking again and again, Gu Ning stared at the opposite side, not seeing the slightest movement.

"It's strange, the officers and soldiers on duty at night should have been bought by Miao Darthead."

Gu Ning chuckled in his heart, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, when he visited Miao Dart Tou before, the other party swore that there would be no problem, but what is going on now?

Liu Jia also realized that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice: "Will the other party doze off?" ”

Gu Ning shook his head, "Impossible, Miao Dart's people are not so casual, let's wait a little longer, if there is still no response from the other side..."

A group of people looked at Gu Ning.

"It's important to save your life, the carriage has found a place to throw it." Gu Ning gritted his teeth and said.

He was reluctant to give up, but he really couldn't afford the consequences of failure, smuggling dove bone flowers, and killing his head to death.

Time passed little by little, there was still no movement on the side of the grain gate, Gu Ning was about to give up, and suddenly, a little fire lit up on the opposite side.

The man with the dart head?

Gu Ning was a little surprised, and waited patiently for a while, but as a result, there were more and more fires over there, gradually connecting together, and even heard the collision of armor and blades when running rapidly!

"Officers and soldiers!" The corners of Gu Ning's eyebrows jumped! The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, how did the officers and men learn the news? From the moment he lit the torch, less than a minute passed, the officers and soldiers appeared, listening to the footsteps at least a dozen, this is a squad, it stands to reason that the speed of the government is not so fast, unless it is prepared in advance.

didn't have time to think about the specific reason, Gu Ning turned to look at Liu Jia: "Run, as long as we don't get caught, the government can't condemn us!" ”

The convoy was terrified.

Gu Ning glanced at the carriage painfully, twisted his body and turned back to the direction of Tongxian, at this time he could only go to Changxing Pharmacy to seek refuge from Han Xiao! The two sides are grasshoppers on a rope, and Han Xiao has to help.

The group rushed into the forest, Gu Ning and Liu Jia took the lead, and the others also used their strength to eat, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them.

Manpower is limited after all, and it is only a matter of time before the horse catches up.

For a while, all kinds of thoughts swept through Gu Ning's mind, and the first thing he thought of was being betrayed by Miao Dart.

But this is unlikely, the other party has taken over too much of this kind of work, why just betray him, lose his reputation and don't please him...

Gu Ning suddenly had a thought, only to feel a chill all over his body!

Turning to look at the people behind him, the escort team counted himself, there were eleven in total, Gu Ning counted them, but he couldn't see Zhang Gan's shadow.

When I looked closely, everyone was running wildly, but Zhang Qian stood in place, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Traitor!" Gu Ning was annoyed, the guards who had been with him for several years had been infiltrated!

Liu Jia also reacted, his face turned pale, "Young master, it's me who is not strictly supervised, and I deserve death!" ”

"I don't blame you, I'm also responsible." Gu Ning said helplessly. Sighing, he looked behind him, and he could vaguely see the officers and soldiers chasing after him on horseback, getting closer and closer.

Gu Ning touched the Qingfeng Sword hanging on his body: Kill officers and soldiers? It's a point of no return.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves gradually disappeared, and those officers and soldiers didn't seem to chase after them, and let Gu Ning and them leave.

Escaping into a dense bamboo forest, Gu Ning stopped, stepping on the dead leaves on the soles of his feet and making a 'click' sound.

Liu Jia and the others saw that the officers and soldiers were not chasing, and they were puzzled, and they also stopped after seeing Gu Ning stop.

"Young master, what's the matter, why didn't the officers and soldiers chase after you?" Liu Jia asked puzzled.

Gu Ning looked around, the strange silence was terrifying, and there seemed to be something hidden in the shadows of the bamboo forest.

"The officers and soldiers took me back, and with my father here, I can't die." Gu Ning snorted coldly: "But if I die, my father will collapse, and the Gu family will be finished." ”

Liu Jia didn't react, "But aren't the officers and soldiers not chasing, as long as we go to Han Gongzi's side to hide..."

Sou!

Suddenly, a dark arrow shot out from the shadows, aiming directly at Gu Ning's head!

"Young Master, be careful!"

Liu Jia shouted, and the source power of the Second Origin Realm exploded, and he pulled out the big knife on his waist and slashed vertically, blocking the arrow and breaking it.

The rest of the escort team woke up like a dream, and Liu Jia said in a deep voice: "Everyone, protect the young master!" ”

Gu Ning stood still, staring at the front. If you guessed correctly, it was the Great Elder who surrounded them, Gu Zhong! There is only Gu Chong, there is a reason to deal with him!

The highest strength on his side is Liu Jia, and there is a huge disparity in strength with the other party, so it is useless to escape, it is better to wait and see.

Gu Ning touched the revolver in his arms, this thing can smash the dummy pile with one shot, and it is not a problem to blow off Gu Chong's head!
