Gu Shengchao quietly came to the outside of the courtyard wall, the location of the house inside was already clear in his chest, he sensed that no one in the wall jumped over, and tiptoed to the window of the main house.

"Outside the senior staff, this guy is really hateful, I have been guarding outside for several days in a row, so I have to come over at night." Listening to the voice is undoubtedly Cai Ji.

Gao Yuanwai said in a low voice: "After all, that person is an official of the imperial court, let's be careful, these old and immortal old things in the village are also difficult, and they started to give fifty copper coins a day, but now no one is willing to go." If you want to continue to block them, you can only spend blood, rather than this, it is better to bribe that guy, wouldn't it be better? ”

"Why don't I think about it like this, why can't this guy get oil and salt, and he was unmoved after sending it twice, I underestimated him." Cai Ji sighed.

"Find out if he has the details, if he can't send it up, with the strength of the Wuwang Palace in the court, it is not difficult to remove a small Shaoqing." The idea of a high-ranking person going out.

Cai Ji got up and paced in the room: "This person is of unknown origin, it is said that he is the henchman of the new emperor, and he has made great contributions to the new emperor's accession to the throne. Wuwang Hall was a rat bogeyman at that time, thinking that the manager Wen in the palace was nine out of ten, but he was just watching the excitement, and finally let them take advantage of the loophole. ”

Gao Yuanwai estimated that he was drinking tea, and there was a crisp sound from the collision of tea sets, so he moistened his throat and said, "Do you just watch them take away the fertile land?" ”

Cai Ji snorted coldly: "This matter is not difficult, let them die tonight without a place to be buried, but it is a pity to have a courtyard outside the high-ranking staff." ”

"You are to burn it with fire." The senior officer blurted out.

"Shh Cai Ji motioned for him not to speak and came to the back of the door.

After Gu Shengchao hurriedly hid in the tall aragonite placed in the courtyard, the door was immediately opened, and Cai Ji stepped out to confirm that no one was eavesdropping, and then closed the door again.

There was a sound of footsteps on the other side of the corridor, and a servant passed by with a lantern, and Gu Shengchao had no choice but to hide in the backyard.

It was impossible to continue eavesdropping, and the ancient saint jumped out of the wall and returned to their makeshift camp.

Three tents were supported on the ground, Gu Shengchao and Wan Ruo were alone, a lone lamp flashed inside, and the rest of the people slept in the other two tents, it was dark, and it was estimated that they were all asleep.

Gu Shengchao walked into the tent and brought food.

"Eat slowly, it's enough." Wan Ruo looked at Lang Jun who was gobbling up, and felt a little distressed.

Gu Shengchao swallowed the food in his mouth: "I have to eat enough tonight, and I have to work at night!" ”

Wan Ruo was a little ashamed: "Forget it tonight, this tent is not soundproof, the movement is a little louder, and you can hear it clearly outside, which makes others laugh." ”

Knowing that the lady had misunderstood, Gu Shengchao was a little big, "Where did the lady think of it, I mean Gao Yuanwai and Cai Ji They have to make a move at night, we must beware of them." ”

Wan Er smiled, Wan Ruo pursed his lips and said secretly: "It's me who is abrupt, I think you can't bear to have the joy of bed!" ”

The ancient saint swept through the wind and finished his meal, and with a flick of his fingers, a strong wind swept by, and the candle flame was suddenly extinguished.

"Wait, someone will be hospitable to us in a moment." Gu Shengchao lay down and said.

If you fall asleep with him, bite his ear and ask, "Is it fire or poison?" ”

"Fire." Gu Shengchao said softly: "But you can't use poison without prevention. ”

Wan Ruo looked at the tent: "In this wilderness, you must first use oiled straw to surround it, and there are crossbowmen waiting on the periphery, and it is not easy to succeed." ”

"What if we were to live in a courtyard?" Gu Shengchao asked rhetorically.

Wan Ruo thought for a while and said: "Then save some things, and when people fall asleep, faint with the incense first, and the rest is easy." Even to prevent accidentally preparing some crossbowmen, it doesn't take much. ”

The two of them were careful to beware, Gu Shengchao couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up and practiced.

The last time he and Ding Ying returned to the Dawu Dynasty, the wolf demon's strong perception was enviable. His Five Soul Array could only control one point, and the giant wolf that was conjured up was far beyond the scope of points. He realized something at the time, but then he couldn't break through, just like soaking the window paper, which can be easily pierced with his fingers, but it is always a fraction of a second, and he can't use his strength in a hurry.

The core of the Five Souls Array is the Five Elements Technique, which uses the principle of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth to control each other, but how can you control more in a complex environment?

Gu Shengchao slowly released his internal force and established a five-soul formation outside the tent, enveloping the entire tent.

There were many moths and mosquitoes inside and outside the tent, and Gu Shengchao sensed these small moving dots, and divided the formation into different areas, each area was supported by a small Five Soul Array.

Countless moving lines appeared within the Five Soul Array that wrapped the tent, and there were countless dots on the lines, and these lines and dots formed many smaller Five Soul Arrays that were constantly moving.

Fix a moth first, then a mosquito, one by one, and slowly settle all the flying insects in the tent. The Ancient Saint let out a long sigh, and all the flying insects began to fly freely.

He concentrated all his senses, practiced repeatedly, and found that he could only fix about ten moths and mosquitoes at a time, and no matter how many he had, he could not control them.

Inadvertently, Gu Shengchao completed the process from point to surface, and derived the category of appearance.

The huge giant wolf of the wolf demon was too amazing, Gu Shengchao tried to use internal force to splice it in the tent, and the appearance of a dog appeared in his mind, but it took a long time to barely complete the four ugly legs, limping on the ground.

Gu Shengchao smiled bitterly and collected his internal strength, and only the sound of thunderous snoring remained in the tent.

One night passed, and there was no movement outside the senior staff. Gu Shengchao was suspicious, could it be that they found out last night, and he didn't find a mistake after thinking about it.

After daybreak, when everyone saw that there was no one to make trouble, they hurried to their work, and returned to the camp after a busy day, only to find that the tents and pots and pans were gone.

Everyone was puzzled, and the senior staff came over with a smile, and said politely: "Lord Gu, you have worked hard, a few days ago, there was a disturbance in the people that upset everyone, and I was also restless, in order to let everyone rest well, a courtyard was specially set aside for you to use, not far ahead." You have worked hard, I have already sent someone to move the things first, and without your consent, I am here to make amends. ”

The senior officer's attitude was sincere, and everyone had nothing to say, so they had to follow him to a separate courtyard at the edge of the village.

The yard is quite large, there is a special horse shop to tie horses, and the three thatched huts are also neat, cleaned up, and the beds and bedding are all ready.

The senior officer greeted his subordinates and prepared a table of sumptuous meals and placed them in the middle room, there was wine and meat, he also sat down politely and poured a bowl of wine first, and then ate a bite of each dish one by one, and then stood up and said: "You have come from afar, I have neglected everyone by not being considerate, and I apologize here first, and this bowl of wine will be dried first as a respect." ”

He picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp, and bowed his hand to everyone: "I can't drink enough, so I will leave first, and I hope that you will be able to slack off if you are slack." ”

The senior staff was not in a hurry to leave, and saluted everyone repeatedly, and then paced slowly to the entrance of the village and chatted with people.

Everyone stood in the courtyard and could see clearly, and the aroma of wine on the table in the room was mouth-watering.

Wan Ruo took out the silver needles she carried with her and checked them one by one, and found no abnormality, she tasted it first, drank a bowl of wine, and waited for a quarter of an hour without any response, and then said: "There is no problem with the wine and meat, you can eat it." ”

The crowd cheered and drank together.

The wine prepared by the senior staff was not enough, Gu Shengchao went to the wine shop at the head of the village to buy two jars, everyone said that there was a laughing wine to cheer up, and he drank until the middle of the night before the lights were turned off and he fell asleep drunk.

At the end of the fourth watch, when people were asleep, more than 20 people quietly walked out of the village, and some of them carried oiled straw and piled them up behind the thatched huts.

The gate of the courtyard was closed, but with a gentle flick of a slender hook from the side, the gate came silently, and the other part of the people were also piled up with straw in front of the window and at the door.

When everything was ready, the torches were thrown directly to the roof, and suddenly the flames soared into the sky, and the three straw houses were caught in flames.

The crossbowmen guarding the front and back of the thatched hut first bent their bows and arrows, staring nervously at every exit, and gradually relenting when they saw that no one had escaped.

The son of the senior member looked at the raging fire and smiled at Cai Ji beside him: "It's still my father's plan is safe, let them eat and drink with confidence first, and the deliberately not enough wine makes them can't help but buy wine." How did they know that the winery was run by me, and they had already unknowingly mixed with a small amount of sweat medicine, and they would never have thought that the sweat medicine added according to our ratio would make them never wake up in their sleep. ”

"Good way." Cai Ji gave a thumbs up.

The grandson of the senior member under the firelight, his face was also flushed, and he sighed and said, "It's just a pity that this courtyard is wasted like this." ”

"Yes, what a yard, just like this." Someone behind him accosted him and agreed with him.

Cai Ji heard the familiar voice, glanced back, he rushed forward like a ghost, and said in horror: "You, how could it be you?" ”

"Can't I just come and see the excitement?" Gu Shengchao crossed his arms to his chest and looked at everyone mockingly.

"Hell!" When the son of Gao Yuanwai saw Gu Shengchao, he couldn't help but tremble, and just about to run, he was hit by Gu Shengchao's acupuncture point and couldn't move.

Cai Ji had already fled to the crossbowman's side and ordered madly: "Shoot quickly, shoot me." ”

The crossbowmen were all Cai Ji's subordinates, and they couldn't help but say, seeing the direction of the ancient saint, the arrows were fired in unison.

Gu Shengchao used his iron arm magic skill, and his arms blocked in front of him to protect the door and rushed over. Poor son of a high-ranking officer, unable to dodge being pierced into a hedgehog by random arrows, died on the spot.

Cai Ji saw Gu Shengchao rushing over, and showed his blade, which was a pair of meridian mandarin ducks.

"Shoot, shoot!"

After the crossbowman fired two volleys, Gu Shengchao had already come closer, and the crossbowman had no time to take the arrows so he had to flee in a panic, no matter how Cai Ji shouted, it would be useless.

These people are more than enough to scare the kind people on weekdays, but when they really reach the actual battle, they have already been frightened, regretting that their parents gave birth to two legs for themselves, and they crawled to the distance to escape for their lives.

The ancient saint was unstoppable and unstoppable, pounced like a fierce beast.

Cai Ji relied on the reputation of the Wuwang Palace, and people were polite to him on weekdays, and he really regarded himself as a hero. At this moment, seeing the ancient saint killing like a fierce god, he was not panicked, and he held the meridian mandarin duck with both hands to greet him.

The Meridian Mandarin Duck Yue is short and concise, and the moves such as stabbing, cutting, picking, and piercing are varied, which can be said to be an excellent weapon to deal with Gu Shengchao with his bare hands.

Cai Ji relied on the advantage of the blade, and he was even more fearless about Gu Shengchao, and even thought about how to ask for merit from the Wuwang Palace.

The meridian mandarin duck is divided into two ways, the straight stab below, and the cross cut above, Cai Ji relies on this trick that no one can get close.

Gu Shengchao let go of the mandarin Yue above, and came to Cai Ji's side with one hand, he picked up his arm and punched Cai Ji's left shoulder.

"Bang!"

Cai Ji flew out sideways, rolled on the ground several times before stopping, and he didn't know where to throw his left hand.

He wondered how a move that he had been trying and tested for a while had suddenly lost its power. He would never have thought that he would work for the Wuwang Palace in the countryside all the year round, and everyone would be respectful to him in order to please him, where would they come to him for real, it was just for show.

Gu Shengchao walked in step by step, Cai Ji wanted to turn over, but there was a sharp pain in his left shoulder, and he found that his left arm was hanging down and did not obey the call.

"Don't come here, I'm a disciple of the Martial King Palace, and I can make your life worse than death with a word." Cai Ji relied on his usual majesty to threaten Gu Shengchao.

"yes, I'm so scared." Gu Shengchao looked at him coldly, and raised his leg is a kick.
