"This is the place where the mission is stationed, and you must not be presumptuous." The guards at the gate of the flower building knew the stakes and ordered the officers and soldiers not to trespass.

The leader stepped forward with a sword on his waist and said: "We are personally appointed by the county commander, last night there was a grass coke broke into our county, and has not yet been captured, the county commander is worried that the grass coke sneaking into this place will threaten the safety of the ambassadors, so he specially ordered me to escort you to the county government to rest first." ”

The guards were sharp-eyed, recognized many familiar faces in the team, and hurriedly opened the door to let them in.

The leader stood in the courtyard and shouted: "I disturbed the good dreams of all my lords, please forgive me, the county commander is concerned about the safety of the adults, and ordered me to bring the guards to escort the adults to the county government to rest first, please be accommodating and Haihan, if there is anything inconsiderate, I will apologize first." ”

With that, he waved his hand to signal the team to go upstairs and knocked on the door one by one to announce it.

The current situation was all because of Gu Shengchao, he naturally knew what was going on, and when he heard the knock on the door, he didn't hurry up and get dressed and told the outside:

"Okay, wait a minute."

The woman next to her was panicked, and carefully leaned into Gu Shengchao's ear and said, "They, they won't catch Dong E, right?" ”

"Don't worry, as long as you don't say it, only the three of us know. They came in right away, and they got dressed as usual. ”

hugged the woman and asked her to relax and not be nervous, patted her back gently, with Gu Shengchao's caresses, the woman's emotions calmed down, and she hurried to get dressed.

"What's going on?" Lu Shouwen acted quickly and walked out of the guest room first in getting dressed.

"Please come with me, there are villains who have not yet been captured, I hope your understanding will be." There are guards leading the way.

At this time, Gu Shengchao happened to walk out of the house, stretched his waist and said, "Gentle Township was dreaming, and you woke me up." ”

"Let's go, people are working normally, and we from the capital should set an example." Lu Shouwen was kept in the dark, and he was not afraid of deceit.

As soon as members of the mission came out of each room, regardless of whether the accompanying woman was dressed or not, the guards swarmed in and rummaged through the cabinets to check it.

Especially in the room where Gu Shengchao lived, it seems that someone has specially explained it, and there are more people who go in.

A woman screamed in a guest room and ran out half-naked and cloaked. Seeing that there were officers and soldiers armed with knives and guns everywhere outside, a woman who had never seen such a battle with her hands on her chest was stunned at that time.

All the women were gathered together, and someone compared the pictures and images and screened them one by one.

The chief and deputy envoys of the mission came to the county office together, and the county order went outside early to greet them, and trotted forward all the way to greet: "The adults are frightened, and the villains are apologizing." ”

"It's okay, let's be busy with official business first, and we'll leave after dawn, so as not to delay you in arresting the bandits."

Lu Shouwen had a clear distinction between public and private, and he didn't mind after being disturbed, so he sat down at the county office and waited for dawn with peace of mind.

After dawn, everyone went to the inn to prepare for their departure.

Gu Shengchao no longer rode a horse, and sat in a carriage, there are windows on both sides of the carriage, there are gauze curtains in the windows to transmit light, and behind the coachman is a small door for people to get up and down, usually covered by a cloth curtain.

Everyone was carrying goods to the carriage when a group of officers and soldiers surrounded them.

"Please forgive me, in order to prevent the gangsters from infiltrating your team and escaping, we will search it."

A deputy envoy stepped forward to stop him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Have you eaten the heart of a bear or the gall of a leopard, this is a mission appointed by the Holy Lord, and you have come to harass us again and again, are you intent on making things difficult for us?" ”

The officers and men also knew the importance of the mission and did not dare to come forward.

Lu Shouwen, as a righteous envoy, was at ease, and he rode on a horse and said: "Let them check, since we are from the capital, we must set an example and set an example for local officials." ”

With a wave of his hand, he ordered the mission: "Don't move, everyone, and leave when the inspection is over." ”

When he speaks, of course the people below listen.

The officers and men were ordered by the above, and if the mission stopped them, none of them could afford to provoke them, and they would definitely be in a dilemma.

When they saw Lu Shouwen talking, they hurriedly stepped forward to check, lest things change.

After checking the vehicle where Gu Shengchao was, he was the only one sitting in the car curtain when he lifted the car curtain, and he also leaned over to check that there was no abnormality under the car, and immediately went elsewhere to find it.

The search was all normal, and the person who led the team apologized to Lu Shouwen repeatedly, and the team of hundreds of people in the mission, led by two guides, left the county seat in a neat line and headed straight to the north.

The team was not in a hurry or slow, and when they turned around, they saw that the county seat was already a small point, and it was impossible for the officers and soldiers to chase after them, Gu Shengchao opened the plank under him, and climbed out of it alone.

It was Miss Dong E.

Coming out of the Cuihong Mansion last night, Gu Shengchao considered that it was impossible to hide this matter for too long, so he came to the inn to find a carriage to hide Dong E.

She was slender and hidden in a long wooden box in the carriage, on which people sat inconspicuously. In addition, when it comes to the vehicles of the deputy envoys of the mission, ordinary officers and men also know the priorities, and they are all happy to get by, and no one will really take it seriously.

Dong E looked at the serious injuries, they were all skin injuries and did not want to die, Gu Shengchao had already checked it last night, so he dared to let her hide in the car alone.

At this moment, she helped her sit down, took out the food and water bladders that had been prepared a long time ago and put them beside her, Dong E let out a long breath and relieved the depression and tension in her heart.

She lifted the curtain on the small window and looked out, and said gratefully to Gu Shengchao: "Thank you for saving your life, it is not far from my hometown for about half a day, please let me go, there is still an old mother waiting at home." ”

I didn't know what to say, Gu Shengchao asked a little difficult.

Dong E was smart, and saw some clues from his expression, and asked tentatively: "The little woman once drew a map for the adult, could it be that the adult has already been there?" ”

Nodding, Gu Shengchao muttered: "You should know what happened to your father and brother, so you hurt people, your mother and fellow villagers also went to the coal mine, and hanged themselves on the way back." When I went to Dong Village, there were only five old women left to pay respects to the dead, and maybe they are all dead now. ”

It's just that those five women don't want to die, and in such a situation, it is difficult to survive.

After a moment of tranquility, Dong E could no longer control it, her voice became painful, she could not hold herself in her throat, and she almost fell down.

Gu Shengchao hugged her, full of comfort but couldn't talk about it, so he had to protect her from falling.

Having lost all her relatives at once, and all the hopes that supported her collapsed, Dong E was heartbroken and cried silently on Gu Shengchao.

I cried for a long time before I stopped my sadness.

She straightened up and said with a resolute gaze: "Please let me go, I don't want to drag you down, so I'll go with my family." ”

Looking at her helpless appearance, Gu Shengchao sighed and said, "You, you are talking stupid things again." Didn't I say it was good last night, to live clearly, to do everything possible to take revenge, to make the relatives hurt the enemy quickly, what's the point of dying? ”

"I ......"

Dong E pursed her bloodless lips and hesitated for a moment: "I'm afraid of injuring adults, and I don't want you to work for me." ”

"Silly boy."

Gu Shengchao gently hugged her with pity, remembered his unbearable past, and said softly:

"I'm more pitiful than you, my parents were killed when I was a child and I had to live in the rivers and lakes, even if my life was hanging by a thread, I didn't give up the opportunity to live, just to take revenge, which is why I have today. So, you have to live well. ”

Raising her teary-eyed face, Dong E asked, "Has the adult finally taken revenge?" ”

"Of course there is revenge." Gu Shengchao said with a relieved face: "I found an opportunity to kill the enemy with one sword, that kind of hearty pleasure, one word, cool." ”

Dong E made up her mind and knelt down in the carriage, which startled Gu Shengchao and hurriedly helped him.

"I don't get up, please teach me martial arts, that is, to be a cow and a horse to serve the adult, and the little woman is willing not to complain." Dong E realized that she would never get up until she reached her goal.

"You!"

Looking at her stubborn appearance, I remembered my childhood.

Gu Shengchao smiled: "Hurry up, I thought it was a big deal." In this way, although I have a clumsy marriage to help me, but there are no brothers and sisters, if the girl is willing, we will be commensurate with brother and sister, how about recognizing me as the eldest brother? ”

"What do adults say?" Dong E raised her head, lest Gu Shengchao was perfunctory.

The more he looked at it, the more he looked like his sister-in-law, Gu Shengchao nodded affirmatively: "The big husband is hard to chase after him, and every sentence is true." ”

"Big brother is above, please bow to my sister."

Seeing Gu Shengchao's promise, Dong E was busy kowtowing, for fear that he would regret it.

"Enough, enough, don't break your head." Gu Shengchao was distressed and hurriedly stopped it.

Brother and sister recognized each other, Dong E was in a happy mood, eating and drinking in the carriage, sweeping away the haze of the past, looking at Gu Shengchao and smirking from time to time.

Stopping at noon for a little trimming, Dong E waited in the carriage, accompanied by Lang Zhong, and Gu Shengchao asked for an external ointment to return.

As soon as she entered the carriage, Dong E asked uneasily: "How did the people from the county order get mixed in with the mission?" ”

Lifting the curtain, she happened to see it again, and pointed to the man: "It's him, the tyrant of our county, the godson of the county order, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling everything, often come to Cuihong Mansion to eat and drink for nothing, no one dares to care, we all call him 'ghost sorrow' behind our backs, how can he be here?" ”

Looking at it from a distance, Gu Shengchao recognized this person and said: "This is the guide found by the county order, a total of two people, saying that it can help us get out of the desert in front of us and reach Beihu safely." ”

"That's right." Dong E thought for a moment and put down the curtain.

There were no female dependents in the mission, so Gu Shengchao left his spare clean robes and settled: "You apply the ointment to the wound alone, and I'll go back." ”

In the middle of the mission, Lu Shouwen was at the forefront, and Gu Shengchao walked over and whispered to him, briefly telling Dong E the ins and outs of the situation, as well as the problems of the guide.

Lu Shouwen was also surprised: "The whole thing was caused by you for a long time, and I was kept in the dark." ”

"Let the second brother laugh, it happened suddenly, and I don't have time to tell you, so I have to make an assertion. It's just that the guide and Dong E are familiar with each other, and at present, Dong E can only dress up as a man, so don't let more people know. ”

After listening to Gu Shengchao's words, staring at the guide wandering back and forth in the team, Lu Shouwen nodded in agreement: "That's fine, see what kind of tricks they can play." ”
