Chapter 209: Halfway to Encounter a "Ghost"
Gu Shengchao saw Lu Jin crying sadly, and he didn't feel good in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to take her into his arms to comfort her, but his hand was raised and he immediately felt that it was inappropriate, so he had to scratch his head and say, "This, or, in fact, ......
A lot of words came to my lips, but I couldn't say anything, and finally I had to say, "Elder Shui has already gone back, and it is inconvenient for you to stay here, you can go back to the boat gang and be happy with your father and mother."
"I don't." Lu Jin wiped away her tears and stubbornly returned.
During this time, she lived with Shui Linglong, and let her little girl live alone, Gu Shengchao was not at ease, so he discussed: "In this way, I occupy the first floor of the inn alone, or you can temporarily live in the guest room next to me, and it is convenient for each other to take care of each other."
Gu Shengchao was afraid that she would be embarrassed, but Lu Jin readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go over and pick up my luggage now."
Although there were still tears on her cheeks, Lu Jin couldn't help but speed up her pace when she learned that Gu Shengchao wouldn't drive her away, and she was secretly happy in her heart.
As long as he can stay by Gu Shengchao's side, the debts owed by his mother for medical treatment are repaid, and he doesn't have to be forced to marry, can there be anything happier than this?
Lu Jin withdrew from the room and followed Gu Shengchao to the inn where he lived, from the shopkeeper to the guys, they were extremely polite to him, and did their best to stammer.
The inn was originally the original Taishou property, and since he was imprisoned, everyone here is afraid of being implicated.
Fortunately, Gu Shengchao has investigated behind his back, and these people in the inn are at most eating and taking cards, embezzling some silver, and they have not done some harmful things like pirates, so they will be let go.
Knowing that Lu Jin was going to live next door to Gu Shengchao, they were busy offering their duties one by one, which made Lu Jin flattered and uneasy.
After settling Lu Jin, Gu Shengchao has also been idle recently, patiently waiting for the orders of the imperial court.
With nothing to do, Gu Shengchao took the initiative to invite Lu Jin to make a move, but found that her knife skills were a little dull and lacked agility.
He is not very proficient in swordsmanship, so he taught her the sword technique of seeking phoenix, hoping that she can understand from the swordsmanship and help improve the swordsmanship.
Lu Jin is also diligent and studious, practicing hard every day and never slacking off, in just over half a month, the dart and knife skills have improved by leaps and bounds, as if he has changed a person.
After a tormented wait, the imperial court finally replied, telling Gu Shengchao that someone from the next prefecture and county would come over to take over the affairs of Yunzhou, and ordered him to escort the treasures of Taishou and Heilong Island back to Beijing.
After more than ten days, he finally waited for the court officials, checked the formalities and identities, and Gu Shengchao handed over all the files that had been recently sorted out to the new Taishou.
The new Taishou does not have the good temper of Gu Shengchao, the first thing is to put all the original Taishou family members in prison, and in a few days they will be exiled to the bitter cold land in the north, and there is a cry in the backyard of the government.
None of this is for Gu Shengchao to worry about, he just packed the gold, silver and jewelry on Heilong Island and put them on the car, and escorted them to the capital with the prisoner car of the original Taishou.
There were 10 carts loaded with jewelry, and 11 carts for prisoners. Each car was equipped with two people, plus a team of more than 30 other personnel, slowly drove up the official road.
Gu Shengchao was originally worried that he would not be able to gather enough manpower, but during his time in Yunzhou, everyone saw what he did, and knew that he would not suffer a loss if he followed, but rushed to sign up, and after careful screening, he temporarily formed this team.
The vehicles loaded with treasures drove in front in turn, followed by the prisoner carts, followed by Gu Shengchao and Lu Jin.
BMW is accustomed to galloping freely on the grassland, carrying the owner and being able to hit the road again, no longer confined to the horse shop, and it is also an exciting joy.
Lu Jin rode alongside her, she had a lot of thoughts, and she was both excited and uneasy about the unfamiliar future.
Gu Shengchao learned to be obedient this time, and asked Lu Jin to accompany him to the market to buy local pearl jewelry, he didn't know anything about it, so he asked Lu Jin to help choose.
He saw that Lu Jin couldn't put down a string of pearl necklaces, so he bought one more for her, which made Lu Jin flattered and a little embarrassed.
The team only took the official road, traveled day and night, and never rushed at night for safety.
On this day, at dusk, he came to the foot of a mountain, and there was no shop in front of the village or behind the store, so Gu Shengchao ordered to stay on the spot
Battalion.
The group worked together, some set up stoves to make fires for cooking, and some set up tents for people to rest.
There was only one woman in the team, Lu Jin, and as usual, she placed her tent in the center, facing Gu Shengchao's tent.
After dinner, Gu Shengchao arranged for people to take turns on duty at night, and everyone chatted for a while and went back to their tents to rest.
The curtain of the Gu Shengchao tent was still lifted to a corner, which was mainly convenient for him to perceive the detection energy to keep within a certain range.
If he is in a confined space, his perception will be limited, and he will not be able to detect potential dangers in advance.
In the middle of the fog, someone anxiously called him: "Lord Gu, Lord Gu, there is a situation outside."
Gu Shengchao woke up, sat up and said nervously, "What's wrong?"
"We can't be sure, so please come out and see for yourself." The man outside pleaded.
"Wait a minute." Gu Shengchao was afraid of an accident, and he lay down in his clothes every night, so he put on his shoes and walked out of the tent, and saw five soldiers gathered next to him on night patrol.
"What's the situation?" Gu Sheng asked in a low voice, lest he wake up the sleeping people.
One soldier pointed to the distance and said in horror, "What the hell, I saw a woman dressed in white standing under a tree just now, anyway, we don't know when she got there, it seems that she suddenly appeared under the tree. We were staring at her, and suddenly she came to us." He glanced over there from time to time, looking a little frightened, as if someone was really about to float over.
The other continued, "The two of us hurriedly drew our bows to warn, but who knew that the woman was floating and disappeared not far away for no reason, and we were afraid that this would disturb the adults."
As he spoke, Gu Shengchao had already sensed that there was indeed an aura more than ten zhang away, but under the cover of the night, he couldn't see anything.
He thought of the Poison Sect's Ever-Changing Toad Xiang Hongji, as long as she was invisible in the daytime, she couldn't be easily discovered, and if the other party really had such kung fu, she couldn't find it at night.
"I'll give it a try."
Gu Shengchao took the bow and arrow from the guard's hand and shot an arrow forward seemingly randomly.
He wasn't sure if the other party was friend or foe, so he didn't use his internal force, and the feather arrow flew over lightly.
With a coquettish laugh, the feather arrow stopped in mid-air, and a woman in white appeared as if out of thin air, pinching the feather arrow and smiling: "On the other side is the ancient saint super brother, who can determine my location, and it can be regarded as some means."
With a flick of her wrist, the feather arrow shot towards the ancient saint super, and the person floated backwards, gradually blending into the night.
Gu Shengchao stretched out his hand and grabbed the shaft of the arrow, and the guard next to him shouted, "It's her, that person just now is her, fortunately it's a person, it's good not a ghost."
"I haven't seen a real ghost yet, but sometimes people are more terrible than ghosts." Gu Shengchao handed the bow and arrow to the man next to him.
He sensed the woman's breath retreat a few feet before stopping, not knowing what to do.
"I know you have some skills, maybe there is no way to deal with you, but we come to harass you every night, and it is difficult to support you alone, dare to ask Brother Gu if you are afraid?" The woman's coquettish voice drifted in the twilight.
The sleeping people on Gu Shengchao's side woke up one after another, and they all came out to inquire about the unknown situation.
Even Lu Jin, who slept like a dead pig, ran out with a round shield and a scimitar, standing beside Gu Shengchao to stand on guard.
"What's the situation, why can't I see people?" Lu Jin looked at the confused night and said in surprise.
Gu Shengchao pointed to the distance: "She's right there, but she's just invisible."
"Really, fake?" Lu Jin will be skeptical.
"You and I meet in the water, what are you going to do?" Gu Shengchao still didn't know the other party's intentions, and said loudly.
The woman sneered: "You and I are new acquaintances, but one of my sisters has been planted under your hands many times, and the name of the ancient brother has long been like thunder."
"Who are you from the Darkmoon Hall?" Gu Shengchao guessed that the sister mentioned by the other party should be He Qiaocong, the Canglong Protector of the Dark Moon Hall.
The other party giggled and said, "Yes, I am Gan Rongrong, the Immortal Rat Protector of the Dark Moon Hall, and I came here tonight to ask for advice."
"It's too late tonight, we all have to rest
, When the wind and the sun are beautiful tomorrow, how about Gu set up a banquet in the restaurant and invite you?" Gu Shengchao stabilized Gan Rongrong first to see why she came from.
Gan Rongrong said with a smile: "Brother Gu's mouth is sweet, but I like it, sister, it's just that you stole the treasures of our Dark Moon Hall, and you can't return them to the original owner, I'm afraid that you will have to eat punishment wine."
Gu Shengchao was taken aback, snatched the sword of Qiuhuang and originally thought that no one knew about it, and planned to give it to Wan Ruo as a gift, but it was still exposed.
"Pay attention to evidence in everything, and don't make it up out of thin air." Gu Shengchao tried to obfuscate the past.
Gan Rongrong laughed a few times: "I went to look for Senior Sister Ai Wanyun that day, and as soon as I walked into the valley, I saw a man running out wildly. Later, when I got there, I learned that someone had forcibly snatched the baby, and I found Brother Gu here after many inquiries, and hurriedly chased him here, do you say it's a coincidence?"
"Unfortunately, if you want to get the treasure, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it." Although Gu Shengchao couldn't see Gan Rongrong's specific hiding place, he could sense the exact location of her breath and jumped over.
Halfway through the jump, others were in mid-air, and there was a sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air, and two scimitars spun around.
Gu Shengchao had been wary of this for a long time, and he used the kung fu of the Iron Arm Divine Skill in advance, and his arms and hands were protected by the golden armor condensed by True Qi.
With the help of the phoenix dance, the iron arm magic skill is even more handy, and you can do whatever you want without covering your whole body.
The scimitar roared in, Gu Shengchao reached out and grabbed it hard, whether it was grabbing the handle or the blade, anyway, there was armor to protect the body, and it was the same wherever he held it.
He sensed that Gan Rongrong's breath was right in front of him, and casually threw the scimitar over, followed by the Nine Heavens Blue Falling Palm and slashed out.
"Boom!"
A large crater burst out of the ground.
Gan Rongrong hurriedly dodged away, revealing her true face in the night.
