Gu Shengchao fought more and more bravely, Jia Laosi was in danger one after another, and the knife in his left hand wanted to sneak attack, but he was pierced by Gu Shengchao's sword, and the tip of the sword passed through the palm of his hand, piercing a bloody hole in his palm, making him scream in pain, and turned around and fled. Gu Shengchao chased after him, and did not forget to slash the two dragon and tiger village minions.

"Where to run, look at the sword!" Seeing that he was about to catch up, Gu Shengchao shouted loudly, so frightened that Jia Lao ran wildly without looking back.

Gu Shengchao slashed away with a sword, looking in the direction of Jia Laosi, but turned a corner halfway and stabbed the left shoulder of another person next to him. That person was Xue Kui, he was holding a steel fork and Zhong Lei were fighting hard, the two were equal, even if they heard the movement, they didn't feel cheating, and they just happened to be successfully attacked by Gu Shengchao.

Xue Kui's steel fork needed to be held in both hands, and his left shoulder was naturally timid, and he didn't have time to observe the situation behind him, so he was kicked by Zhong Lei in the front chest and fell backwards. He was very good at kung fu, jumped backwards with his strength, and was helped by Jia Laosi to stand firm, and the two galloped up the mountain together.

Zhong Lei gave Gu Shengchao a thumbs up to express his gratitude, and then rushed to the rescue of Uncle Xu.

Xu Bo held the steel shovel in both hands and was fighting the two of them. One of them saw that Jia Laosi and Xue Kui had fled the battlefield, and he also wanted to retreat, but he didn't notice in a panic that Xu Bogang's shovel had already smashed on the top of his head, and his brain suddenly collapsed and died. The other person turned around and ran, and Xu Bo threw out the steel shovel in his left hand, hitting the back of the man's heart, and fell down without saying a word.

The remaining minion trees scattered and ran clean in the blink of an eye, leaving more than a dozen corpses lying on both sides of the mountain road.

Gu Shengchao found that the woman was riding in the carriage without any interference from beginning to end, and the people in Longhu Village seemed to be avoiding approaching there, for fear of hurting the people inside.

Everyone cleaned up the battlefield and found that they had suffered heavy losses. In addition to the betrayal of Ding Darthead, the two women and five dart masters who accompanied him were unfortunately killed, and three were seriously injured. Xin Darttou looked around, looked at the three people who were still breathing, and looked at Zhong Lei. Zhong Lei sighed helplessly, and Xin Dart stabbed the three to death with a sword. In the future, the road will definitely be more dangerous, and bringing the seriously injured will only add to the burden.

The rivers and lakes are originally fighting and killing, how can there be any love for children. There are intrigues and intrigues at the top, and there are bullies and predators at the bottom.

Of the thirty people who came, there are still nineteen who can hold on. Gu Shengchao and the others who lightly injured people and others all bandaged their wounds and changed into neat robes. The mountain road was difficult to walk, and the woman also stepped out of the car and rode a red horse. Except for the dart car, all other vehicles were abandoned and traveled as lightly as possible. Zhong Lei instructed everyone to continue to move forward, and no one intruded along the way. It was almost dusk, the mountains gradually flattened, and Gu Shengchao looked into the distance, and there were no more high mountains and mountains.

It was getting dark, Zhong Lei led everyone to climb a small hill, set up camp on it, bury pots and cook food, and prevent someone from sneaking up at night.

Zhong Lei walked up to Uncle Xu and whispered: "Uncle Xu, things are strange today, this is the territory of Changqing County, and Longhu Village dares to besiege us in broad daylight, which is really puzzling." It stands to reason that our dart bureau and Changqing County have always been good friends, and they are usually safe. The Changqing County Government is not far away, and the county guard is also our acquaintance, so I plan to go to the government office at night to find out and inquire about the news. ”

Xu Bo nodded in agreement: "Are you going alone?" ”

Zhong Lei swept everyone and said uneasily: "The current situation is critical, Longhu Village will come to attack at any time, Xu Bo and Xin Dart can rest assured that they can take care of it, and it will be a drag for others to go." ”

Xu Bo looked at Gu Shengchao: "Take him with you, look at today's situation in Changqing County, I am afraid that there will be changes, and it is not a bad thing to have one more person around after all." ”

"He, okay?" Zhong Lei was not at ease.

Xu Bo nodded and said in a low voice: "Can't be wrong, although he hides his kung fu, he is by no means a villain, and he can be used by my dart game." ”

Zhong Lei trusted Xu Bo, got up and called Gu Shengchao to leave together, and the two of them each rode a horse and left the camp. In front of him was Pingchuan, and Gu Shengchao looked back, and the mountains were hidden in the twilight, as if a giant dragon was lying there, separating the slope from the slope.

The two came to the outside of Changqing City in less than half an hour, and at this moment the city gate was closed and they could not enter, so they found a forest and tied their horses inside, and entered through the city wall by night. During the Taiping period, few soldiers patrolled the city walls, and no one found them.

Zhong Lei came here and quickly found the mansion. He was about to go in, but someone stopped him: "Bold, during the night curfew, anyone who dares to break into the palace will be killed." ”

"Excuse me, why is the original Brother Zhang not here?" Zhong Lei said politely with a smile.

The man guarding the door pulled out his waist knife and said arrogantly: "Get out, dare to say more about your dog's life." ”

Gu Shengchao looked at this guard with a familiar look, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. Zhong Lei took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the man's hand: "Brother is outside, I am an old acquaintance with you Liu Junshou, so let us go in!" ”

The man weighed the silver in his hand, and when he saw that no one was around, he hurriedly put it into his arms, pulled Zhong Lei aside and admonished: "I'm a soft-hearted person, let me tell you the truth, the original Liu County Guard has been imprisoned and imprisoned, and now there is a new County Guard." I'm not going to make a big deal, you guys go quickly, be careful of implicating you and imprison you too. ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Zhong Lei took his leave and pulled Gu Shengchao away.

The two turned around the corner of the street and turned to the back of the mansion, Zhong Lei jumped up to the high wall first, saw that there was no one inside, and waved Gu Shengchao to go in with him. Zhong Lei was familiar with this place, and the two quietly went to the roof and tiptoed to a big mansion. The roof has bucket arches and cornices, and the two people hook the eaves with their toes and hang upside down, just to see the scene inside the house.

Gu Shengchao was taken aback when he saw the two people sitting in the room. Those two were the ones he secretly got on the boat and framed the boy named Ergou for stealing, the rude little girl and her father.

The little girl said angrily: "Dad, Longhu Village is really a bunch of waste, and I can't even take a small dart game." You are now the county guard, and as soon as you give an order, let me lead a team of men and horses to intercept their dart carts. ”

Gu Shengchao was secretly amused when he heard it, he was dignified and guarded, and he actually wanted to lead the officers and soldiers to pretend to be kidnappers to rob darts, which made people laugh and lose their big teeth.

The county guard shook his head and said, "Absolutely not, do you know why you want to let the people of Longhu Village go?" ”

The little girl said excitedly: "The child knows that we have no foundation when we first arrived, and the power of Longhu Village should not be underestimated, so take this opportunity to let them kill each other, let's take advantage of the fishermen, and finally exterminate them." ”

The county guard was relieved, nodded and said: "It is not easy for you to understand this, you are an adult, I will tell you the truth, this incident seems to be a personal grudge between the Dragon and Tiger Village and the worry-free dart bureau, but in fact it involves the dispute between the court officials and the criminal department. ”

The little girl was stunned: "It's so serious, it has alarmed the court?" ”

The county guard lowered his voice and said: "Yes, the worry-free dart bureau can be unimpeded in our Dawu Dynasty, how can it be done without a backer behind it, it is said that the officials can have a lot of dividends every year, otherwise the dart bureau would have been closed a long time ago." However, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs have always been at odds, so this time the mastermind behind the scenes is the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and we are also a small chess piece among them. Let the robbery of the dart in Longhu Village be just the beginning, and the dart bureau will be planted behind the scenes, saying that they have colluded with the counties privately, and the real goal is to support the army and establish themselves as kings. In this way, the officials can't get out of the relationship, and the officials are overthrown, and the criminal department is dominant, and we have the criminal department to cover us, and we can also get a piece of the pie. ”

The little girl looked dazed: "Then, what should we do next?" ”

"Wait." The county guard said indifferently: "This matter is important, we must not act rashly." They already have our internal response within the dart game, so they are not in a hurry at this time. The Criminal Department has already sent a master over, and it will arrive tonight if nothing happens. In addition, one of the things they transported this time is extraordinary, and the boss explained that if this thing is missing, it will be lost for the father. ”

"What is so precious?" The little girl was curious.

The county guard sighed and said, "I don't know much about my father, it is said that this treasure has something to do with a woman. ”

Gu Shengchao immediately thought of the woman who was always veiled, a woman who was like a mystery, no wonder the people of Longhu Village robbed the darts, and they all stayed away from the woman's surroundings, it turned out that they were afraid of hurting her. He was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard footsteps that seemed to be coming this way, and he hurriedly bowed his feet and climbed onto the roof. Zhong Lei's ear power was not as sharp as Gu Sheng's, and he was still hanging upside down and peeking.

"Come on, someone's coming." Gu Shengchao bent down and whispered a reminder, and at the same time pulled Zhong Lei's leg to assist him in coming up.

It was already late, a dart shot at him, fortunately, Gu Shengchao pulled Zhong Lei quickly, the dart rubbed Zhong Lei's hair and nailed it to the eaves, and a few wisps of green silk flew in the night sky. Gu Shengchao glanced at it, and the darts looked like commonly used copper coins, but the edges were jagged and glowing with cold light. He didn't have time to take a closer look, so he grabbed Zhong Lei and ran wildly out of the city.

Zhong Lei's internal strength was weak, and he couldn't keep up after jumping over several roofs in a row. Gu Shengchao glanced behind him, a black shadow had already chased after him, and he eagerly picked up Zhong Lei and ran desperately. The high walls leaped out, and in a few steps they scurried into the woods, and they jumped up to a tree, hiding in the dense canopy.

After a few breaths, the shadow chased after him. The man walked a few steps into the woods, fearing an ambush in the night, hesitated for a moment and retreated, standing outside the woods and shouting, "You can't run away, I have seen you." ”

The night breeze was gentle, the leaves rustled, and there was no movement beyond that. The man waited for a while, then stamped his feet and left in regret, turning over and jumping into the city.

Gu Shengchao and Zhong Lei were afraid of deception, afraid that the man would go and return, so they waited and waited again, and then quietly slipped down from the tree, found the tethered horse and rode back to the camp. On the way, Zhong Lei did not forget to give Gu Shengchao a thumbs up to express his gratitude.

Xu Bo was anxiously waiting, and he was very relieved to see them come back, but he was also shocked when he heard Zhong Lei's report, and he had a lot of thoughts, and he had no idea for a while.
