The female shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce was about to cry, and said in fear: "I will pay for the goods, and I will let them take them all." ”

Gu Shengchao took a step back and said proudly: "Isn't this over, a very simple thing has to be so complicated, and it makes everyone unhappy, how bad it is." ”

"Yes, yes." The female shopkeeper nodded again and again, Gu Shengchao's ferocity made her feel palpitations, and she didn't dare to disobey his orders.

Gu Shengchao turned around, and Ah Miao and Ah Mei both stood in place and looked at him stupidly, unable to believe the facts in front of them. Gu Shengchao deliberately lowered his voice and said hoarsely, "How much money do they owe to the Seven Star Cliff?" ”

"Seventy-six taels of silver." Ah Miao stepped forward and said.

Gu Shengchao nodded and said, "It's not much, it's only a hundred taels of silver to make so many things, it's not worth it." ”

The female shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce was stunned, and said in a low voice: "This strong man, I heard it right, it's seventy-six taels!" ”

Gu Shengchao approached the female shopkeeper again, leaned into her pink face and whispered: "Is there no interest after a delay of two months, they have come all the way to ask for accounts, and there is no cost to live in a hotel on the way to eat, drink and Lazar, if you refuse to give, do you want to accompany me at night!" ”

"I'll give, I'll give." The female shopkeeper was so frightened that her face was pale, and tears rolled in her eyes, almost falling. She took out the key and opened the cabinet with a trembling hand and took out the silver taels, Gu Shengchao asked Ah Miao to count and confirm that it was correct, so that the two of them took the silver and left quickly.

Ah Miao and Ah Mei were already frightened, packed up the silver, got on their horses and galloped away. Gu Shengchao was worried that the Chamber of Commerce would catch up, so he sat down unhurriedly, and beckoned to the female shopkeeper: "As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, let's sit down and have a cup of tea to relieve boredom." ”

The female shopkeeper didn't dare to refuse, and sat down to drink tea with Gu Shengchao, her eyes glancing out of the house from time to time, hoping that someone could rescue them. How can these strong men be the pillars of the Chamber of Commerce, how dare others come over again. Gu Shengchao only asked the woman's name, and when he learned that her name was Chen Qi, he didn't say anything more. It wasn't until the time of the lantern that it was estimated that Ah Miao and Ah Mei had already run away, so they walked out of the Chamber of Commerce slowly with their hands behind their backs.

Gu Shengchao turned into a secluded street and alley, saw no one coming, climbed on the roof, and took advantage of the night to quietly return to the Chamber of Commerce again.

At this moment, the Chamber of Commerce is making a mess of porridge, where is there still the effort to track Gu Shengchao. Several strong men who were injured broke their arms and legs, because Gu Shengchao deliberately delayed, delayed the treatment time and was dying, and everyone was busy carrying them to the car and rushing to Lang Zhong to heal. The female shopkeeper Chen Qi was even more resentful because of the overpayment of the silver, so she threw all the tea sets on the ground in the house and smashed them.

A man with a sharp beak knocked on the open door outside the house and said softly, "Keeper, dissipate your anger, and maybe there is a way to get the money back." ”

"Get out."

A stool smashed over, so frightened that the man turned his head and ran, he just ran a few steps, Chen Qi shouted: "Come back." ”

"Oh." The man promised to walk cautiously, but he didn't dare to enter the house.

Chen Qi sat down on the table angrily and beckoned, "Come in, there is a fart." ”

The man walked a few steps into the house, and said with a smile: "The fastest way to leave the West Cold Country from here is to take a boat down the river, and now the dock is all our people, and I inquired that the two of them ran on horseback." ”

"So what, you don't look at how many hours of delay, can you catch up?" Chen Qi was still annoyed.

"Yes." The man nodded affirmatively: "They outsiders only know the Great Road, and I know a small road that will definitely rob them before dark tomorrow." ”

Chen Qi slapped the table anxiously: "A bunch of waste, don't go quickly if you know." ”

"Okay." The man turned to leave, and Chen Qi ordered in a loud voice: "The county government will listen to us, go there to find some helpers, and you must arrest those two girls for me." She gritted her teeth.

Gu Shengchao snickered and quietly followed behind the man.

……

Ah Miao and Ah Mei stayed up almost all night, just passing by the bushes and taking a nap before continuing on their way, lest they be caught up by the people of the Chamber of Commerce. They did not stop during the day, and when it was getting late, people were sleepy and the horses were tired, so they took a short rest by the ditch, and the two of them ate some dry food casually, so that the horses could drink water and eat grass to replenish their strength. When the moon was in the treetops, the two got on their horses again and galloped away in the night.

In order to avoid the inspection of the Xileng Pass, the two had to stay away from the avenue and try to return to the Dawu Dynasty through the mountain path, the closer they got to the border, the more rugged the mountain road became.

Ah Miao pointed to the mountains in front of him and said: "Turning over is the boundary of the Dawu Dynasty, I have walked this road once, and I can reach it tonight, and we will be safe." ”

The two of them rode forward, and suddenly there was dust on the hillside next to them, and something shook the ground from far and near. In the hazy night, many dark shadows fell on the hillside, and the two hurriedly stopped their horses, turned their horses' heads and retreated, and the boulder rolled and fell from the front. The two of them were frightened, heard the sound of horses' hooves, and more than ten horsemen stopped them in front and behind.

"If you want to run, it's not that easy, I'll let you know tonight what will happen to provoke our Chamber of Commerce." A man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks rode over first, and his shrill voice in the night made his heart palpitate.

Ah Miao's sword came out of the sheath and held it in his palm: "What are you going to do?" ”

The man laughed and threatened: "Don't you understand what we are going to do, the one who knows the times is Junjie, he lost his sword and went back with us obediently, so that you don't suffer some flesh and skin, if you are disobedient and tied back by us, then don't blame us for being polite, you must let the two of you survive and not die, life is not as good as death, but it is not comfortable!" ”

"Wishful thinking." Ah Miao and Ah Mei glanced at each other, and the two of them rode on their horses and raised their swords, ready to fight to the death.

"There's personality, I like it." The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man applauded, he took out a long stick from behind his back, and commanded everyone: "Go up together, catch these two girls and go back to reward." He rushed first, and the rest of the men followed with their swords.

"Whoosh!"

There was the faint sound of something breaking through the air in the night.

"Oops!"

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man who bore the brunt was hit on the head by something, fell from his horse and rolled into the grass on the side, and the two people behind him dismounted and helped him up, "Brother Qi, why did you fall off the horse so well?" ”

Brother Qi's head hurt and he raised his hand and touched it and felt that something was wrong, he stretched out his palm to watch, and his palm was full of blood stains under the faint moonlight, and he felt scared at this time: "Blood, I bleed, who hurt me with a hidden weapon just now?" He looked around, and saw where he could see a figure in the darkness, and he searched the ground, and he did not know where the long stick had been thrown.

Hearing that someone was sneaking up, everyone was on guard, including Ah Miao and Ah Mei, and they scanned the surroundings uneasily.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement around, and some people suspected Brother Qi: "Don't make a fuss, didn't you fall off the horse by yourself and hit your head on the stone?" ”

Brother Qi glared at the man: "How is it possible, it is obvious that something flew over and hit me." But when he looked around, he couldn't see anything suspicious, and he was a little suspicious of himself.

Ah Miao and Ah Mei wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but a few people behind stopped them, and someone teased: "Don't run, this wilderness is just like me and I are at ease." ”

"Whoosh!"

Something flew over again, hitting the forehead of the man who had just spoken, and the man fell on his back with an "oops", and blood oozed from his forehead. An angular pebble rolled on the ground and fell into the grass beside the road.

Everyone saw that the stone was thrown from a dense tree next to it, and the crown of the tree shook slightly.

"Who, come down!" Several people rode over and surrounded the trees far away, lest any more hidden weapons be thrown, and they all covered their faces with blades.

The crown of the tree shook slightly, and a person flew down and stood in the middle of the road, it was Gu Shengchao with a beard sticking to his cheeks. He stretched his waist and said, "It's very lively, what are you doing here, disturbing my good dreams." ”

Several people gathered around and prepared to make a move, but Brother Qi remembered him and retreated in fear. Someone asked him in a low voice, "Brother Qi, where are you going?" Brother Qi replied in a low voice: "I lost my stick just now, go look for it." ”

Someone slashed at Gu Shengchao head-on, Gu Shengchao rushed sideways and punched up at the same time, hitting the door of the person's face, and flew straight out with a "click". After the man fell to the ground, he found that the bridge of his nose was broken, sour, sweet, salty, and all kinds of smells poured into his nasal cavity.

The other two stabbed their swords at the same time, and Gu Shengchao jumped up and kicked out with his legs in a row, and the two flew out to both sides like paper harriers, and fainted instantly.

The remaining few people swarmed up, trying to hack the Gu Shengchao to death with the crowd, but the Gu Shengchao body method was erudite, and they didn't need superior kung fu at all, and they knocked down a few people one by one in a dodge. Brother Qi saw that he was invincible, and he was about to flee when he got on the horse, Gu Shengchao picked up a stone and threw it over, hitting the back of Brother Qi's head, and he fell unconscious.

Ah Miao and Ah Mei were shocked, and when they saw that everyone fell to the ground, they hurriedly dismounted and came to Gu Shengchao to salute: "Thank you Engong for the rescue, dare to ask Engong's name?" ”

Gu Shengchao didn't want to say much to them, so he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, you guys hurry up and get on the road!" ”

Ah Miao was frightened: "Engong doesn't want to say, we can't explain to the head after we go back, please leave Engong's name for me to remember." ”

Gu Shengchao sighed and said, "It's okay to say it, you know Miss Ding Ying!" ”

"Of course I do." Ah Miao said quickly: "She is an outcast of our Seven Star Cliff, and her master betrayed the master with the wild man. ”

Ah Mei had already heard the meaning of Gu Shengchao's words, and pulled Ah Miao's clothes hard, how could Ah Miao be used to being domineering on weekdays, how could he take care of Ah Mei's kindness.

After Ah Miao finished speaking, he also felt abrupt, and said carefully: "Does Engong know Ding Ying?" ”

Gu Shengchao turned his back to the people lying on the ground, ripped off the fake beard on his cheeks, and said solemnly: "I am the wild man in your mouth. ”

Ah Miao and Ah Mei finally recognized Gu Shengchao, and opened their mouths wide in astonishment and couldn't speak, "You, you ......" Ah Miao's mind was messy, and he didn't know what to say.

"You have all been poisoned by the sect, how can there be absolute good people and bad people in this world, they are all illusions seen from their respective standpoints. Good or bad, it's just a small piece of the sky at the mouth of the well that involves one's own interests. When I help you, I am actually helping Ding Ying, and I don't want to see her sect sisters being bullied. Gu Shengchao pinched his beard and re-glued it, and whipped the rest of the horses away, leaving only Ah Miao and Ah Mei's mounts.

Ah Miao and Ah Mei had mixed feelings in their hearts, and silently got on the horse and left.

Gu Shengchao sat and waited for a while, and saw that the two of them were running away on horseback, and it was impossible for others to catch up, so he returned to the hillside and found the horse he had stolen from the Chamber of Commerce with Brother Qi, and rode away.
