Chapter 142: Temptation

Jumping over a few houses to the northwest of the house, there is a dense forest in front of it.

"Where to run, you can't escape." Gu Shengchao shouted and chased in with a lantern.

People are used to this, where there are many people, they will follow along to join in the fun.

Gu Shengchao pretended to chase in front, followed by several people, and more people followed.

The footsteps were so chaotic that no one could tell whose footprints were on the ground, and there was no way to find out if someone was suspicious afterwards.

There was a big circle in the dense forest, and if he didn't have a strong perception ability, Gu Shengchao would definitely get lost in the forest under the night.

He headed back towards the crowded place, back to the original entrance.

At this moment, there were a lot of people around here, and when they saw Gu Shengchao coming out, they all asked anxiously: "How is it, have you caught it?" ”

"No, I lost it." Gu Shengchao shook his head regretfully.

He sighed and said helplessly: "Let's all go back, the forest is too dense and it's easy to get lost inside." ”

"No, Fat Feng hasn't been found yet, wait." Someone whispered dissuasion.

"Who is Fat Feng?" The ancient saint was puzzled.

Someone explained: "The one who went in after you didn't find the assassin, and ended up losing one, and we're looking for it." ”

At this time, people realized the danger, and everyone who went in was in groups with lanterns in their hands or torches in their hands, for fear of getting lost again.

Gu Shengchao also followed the three of them and stepped into the dense forest again.

After searching in the forest for nearly half an hour, fortunately, Gu Shengchao's perception ability was outstanding, and he found that there was a faint breath of people under the ground next to him, so he walked over there.

"Come back, it's dark there, we have to be together to be safe." One of them saw that Gu Shengchao was left behind, and kindly reminded him.

Gu Shengchao has a strong perception ability that must not be known to outsiders, he smiled: "I am urgent, you go first, and I will catch up later." ”

"No, I've already lost one, we can't have any more accidents, we'll stop where we are and wait for you." The man stopped, patiently waiting for Gu Shengchao to return to the team.

"I can't hold it back, just solve it here, you wait for me." One person walked towards Gu Shengchao.

Seeing that the man was coming, Gu Shengchao deliberately gave way to the side and reminded: "It's dark and the road is slippery, be careful of tripping over branches." ”

As he spoke, the man had come to the pit, and almost fell, exclaiming, "Oh, there's a big pit here." ”

"yes, then stay away and don't fall." Gu Shengchao unbuttoned his robe and was about to leave.

"Wait, I seem to hear movement below, isn't it Feng Fatzi down there." The man took Gu Shengchao's lantern and shone the letter into doubt.

Gu Shengchao deliberately walked out, and his voice was enough for people outside to hear: "It won't be so coincidental, be careful to slide you down too." ”

The man shouted, "I found Feng Fatzi, he is underneath." ”

When they heard this, they took torches and lanterns and stopped by the pit. Gu Shengchao also followed, and saw a chubby figure lying on his side at the bottom of the pit, moaning.

"It's Feng Fatzi, it's him." Someone recognized the person below and shouted: "Feng Fatzi, how did you fall, did you hear it?" ”

Hearing people's shouts and not responding, Feng Fatzi should have fainted.

Another person rejoiced: "This is a trap for hunters to capture wild beasts, fortunately, in order to get the whole fur of the prey, the hunters did not bury sharp weapons such as bamboo sticks underneath, otherwise Feng Fatzi would have died a long time ago." ”

He looked around and asked, "The trap is deep and slippery, so you should be able to pull him up by using a rope." ”

"But, where are you going to find such a long rope now?" Out of the hurry, no one can happen to carry a long rope.

"I'll come." Just when everyone was in trouble, Gu Shengchao deliberately hesitated for a moment and jumped down hesitantly.

In the eyes of people's expectation, Gu Shengchao held up Feng Fatzi with his arms and jumped out of the deep trap.

Just as he was about to jump out of the pit, he pretended to be overwhelmed, threw Feng Fatzi to everyone, and fell to the bottom of the pit again.

"Wow!"

In the exclamation, people caught Feng Fatzi and hurriedly lay down on the edge of the pit to look down, lest Gu Shengchao be injured.

"It doesn't matter, I should be able to jump on it alone." Gu Shengchao waved his hand, and after taking an exaggerated deep breath, he jumped up vigorously in front of everyone, and his arms were just at the mouth of the pit.

The two hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm to get him out of danger.

"Thank you, thank you." Gu Shengchao thanked him.

"Shaoxia is polite, we haven't had time to thank you for risking your life to save people."

"Each other, each other." Gu Shengchao was polite, and several people looked at each other and laughed.

Someone led the way in front, and someone was responsible for carrying Feng Fatzi: "It just so happens that Lang Zhong is still in the village, hurry back for treatment." ”

The rest of the people shouted loudly: "Feng Fatzi has found it, we are here, everyone go back." ”

The sound was echoed, the lanterns and torches were withdrawn from the woods, and the people counted their numbers before returning to the small village in a group.

Feng Fatzi was carried by someone to Lang Zhong for treatment, and Gu Shengchao went back to the mansion to recover his life.

Unexpectedly, a sentry was added at the entrance of the mansion to block Gu Shengchao from the door.

"I'm the helper invited by your military advisor Zhou Hualiang, you can go in and ask."

"It's late at night, the military advisor has already slept, we can't bother, you can come back tomorrow." The sentry flatly refused.

Gu Shengchao had already guessed that many of them had left the small village, and Wan Yan Xi happened to come over to rescue Zhuang Lu Tao, and something must have happened during this period, but he didn't know if it would be beneficial to Wan Yan Xi and them.

"No, I have to see Zhou Junshi tonight. When I first arrived, you ignored it, and the Tianqing Gang treated the new brothers like this, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the younger brothers! Gu Shengchao shouted loudly, so that Zhou Hualiang could hear it in the room.

After a while, Long You walked out of a room with a light on, and said impatiently: "What are you shouting, can't you come again tomorrow, and it's not that you won't be fed." ”

Gu Shengchao shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "But, where I sleep at night, I can't let me sleep alone in the wilderness and dance with wolves!" ”

"It's just you." Long You had a grudge against Gu Shengchao, and now that they were all members of the Tianqing Gang, he couldn't ignore him, so he had to lead him to another courtyard, arrange to sleep in a west wing room with sundries, and explain to him: "You will live here for the past few days, remember, don't run around if you have nothing to do, none of us will be responsible if there is a mess." ”

Obviously full of hostility towards him, Gu Shengchao still smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Longyou, little brother has written it down." ”

For the next two days, Gu Shengchao lived here without leaving home, and someone brought food to him when it came to dinner.

It's just that the cautious expressions of those people reveal their defensiveness against him, and they don't say much about him.

Gu Shengchao also knew that being cautious at this time would definitely do more harm to him, so he didn't say much and never asked more.

The next night, when the two watches were about to end, Gu Shengchao was half-asleep and half-awake, when he suddenly heard someone knocking lightly on the door outside.

"Brother Gu, Brother Zhuang has arrived there safely, he is worried about your safety, and asked me to come and pick you up."

Gu Shengchao was amused when he heard it, Zhuang Lutao would never do such a stupid thing, it must be the people of the Tianqing Gang who were testing him, but this trick was a bit pediatric.

Pretending not to hear, Gu Shengchao quietly came to the door of the room.

"Did Brother Gu hear it, did he fall asleep?" The man outside the door lowered his voice, and the two were only separated by one door.

Pulling open the door suddenly, Gu Shengchao's hand was like lightning, and he slammed his palm on the other party's shoulder.

Although the person outside the door was on guard, he ran when he saw that the situation was not good, but the ancient saint was too fast to dodge.

"Bang!"

The man was slapped in the right shoulder.

"Click!"

Scapula fragmentation.

"Ahh

The man screamed and flew straight out, slamming into the wall of the opposite east wing.

Then he slid to the ground and never had the strength to get up again.

When the other people in the courtyard heard the movement, they all ran out to see the excitement, and they couldn't stop looking around the man.

"Who is this?"

"I don't think I've seen it."

Everyone gathered together and looked suspiciously at Gu Shengchao who walked out of the door.

Gu Shengchao ignored them, picked up the man and walked straight to the mansion where Zhou Hualiang lived.

As usual, someone stopped him at the gate of the courtyard.

"Go back, go back. In the middle of the night, the third watch carried someone over to make trouble. ”

Gu Shengchao sneered and threw down the man on his shoulder, "This person is a spy, you can just watch it." ”

Anyway, they didn't look back and left, but went back to the small courtyard, passed through the crowd that were still waiting, and went back to the west wing to sleep.

There was a lot of talk in the courtyard, and it took a long time to quiet down.

When I woke up and had a simple breakfast, someone came to Gu Shengchao and said that the military advisor was invited.

Quietly followed, perhaps saying hello in advance, and the two entered the mansion smoothly, and the guards at the door turned a blind eye to them and did not stop them.

I came to the courtyard and stopped outside the door of a room.

"The military advisor is waiting inside."

Gu Shengchao stayed for a moment, and when he saw the man motioning for him to go in alone, he pushed the door and entered.

There was a strong smell of herbs in the house.

The room is not big, only a bed, a table, and a chair, but it is also spacious.

Zhou Hualiang was half-lying on the bed, the quilt only covered his chest, his shoulders were exposed, and his left shoulder was wrapped in layers of linen.

"What's the matter?" Gu Shengchao was unexpected, but he didn't expect that he was also injured.

Zhou Hualiang smiled bitterly: "Sit down, I feel much better today, I just want to talk to someone." ”

Sitting on the only chair in the room, Gu Shengchao asked, "Could it be that I chased him out that night, what happened here?" I can't even come back. ”

"You guessed it."

Zhou Hualiang sighed and said, "After you chased him out, Long You was worried that something would happen, so he made a special trip to Zhuang Lutao to seal the acupuncture points so that he couldn't move. He was worried about the situation on your side, and he followed. ”

"Not long after, a woman jumped from the roof, the scimitar in her hand came and went, everyone was fighting with her, but I didn't expect Zhuang Lutao to swagger out of the house and escape with the woman."

"I just glanced at the woman a few more times, and she threw a throwing knife, just as Long You returned in time to block a sword, and the scimitar slashed off a piece of flesh from my shoulder and flew away. If it weren't for Long You's rescue, I guess my life would not be guaranteed. ”
