Hearing Gu Shengchao's self-blame, Shui Linglong said sadly: "Brother Gu is too worried, I spent a lot of time inquiring and finally found my mother's hometown, but the patriarch knew my request, directly refused and did not agree, there is actually no difference between you coming and not coming."

"Is it true that the water spilled by the married girl, is we women so unworthy of respect?" Lu Jin thought of himself and was unwilling.

Shui Linglong looked into the distance and said helplessly: "Yes, my mother is a woman, and the clan will not let her be buried here. Who knew that they had hired a master to kill me, and it was really infuriating."

She gritted her teeth and shook her fist, "I think they're my people, but they're thieves."

Gu Shengchao pondered for a moment and said, "Then, you can only take it back to the Xilang Kingdom to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to bury, Elder Shui has Yunqi Palace as a backer, and no one dares to bully you."

Shui Linglong was sad: "Where my mother is, where is my home, my original understanding of this sentence is still a little vague, and I always feel that my mother is by my side. Through this incident, I suddenly realized that I was like a little grass without roots, floating here and there, and there was no home anymore."

Speaking of sadness, Shui Linglong's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

"Where my mother is, there is home." Lu Jin muttered this sentence in a low voice, she had experienced too much warmth and coldness in her young age recently, and she was emotionally infected by Shui Linglong, so she took the lead in shedding tears and whimpering.

At this moment, the strong Shui Linglong couldn't hold back any longer, her nose was sore, and she hugged Lu Jin and cried bitterly.

Lu Jin was even more sad and couldn't stop crying.

The two women hugged each other tightly and wept bitterly.

Gu Shengchao was depressed, looking at the two of them and having nothing to do, he had to wait silently.

After all, Shui Linglong was the elder of Yunqi Palace, and she was the first to control her emotions.

She stopped whimpering, took out a handkerchief with red eyes and wiped her tears for Lu Jin: "Good sister, don't cry, life is short, it's better to live our own life than anything else, isn't it?"

"Hmm." Lu Jin nodded vigorously, trying to calm himself down.

The three of them were silent, and after a cup of tea, Lu Jin also returned to normal.

"Let's go, hurry and find a place to rest before sunset." Gu Shengchao was afraid that the emotions of the two would be affected, and he would cry again.

At dusk, I finally came to a town and found an inn to stay in.

After dinner, Shui Linglong and Lu Jin naturally lived in the same room, and the two got into the quilt and became like sisters.

The small flame of the oil lamp on the table flickered, and it was not extinguished for the time being when I couldn't sleep anyway.

Lu Jin saved Shui Linglong's life, and Shui Linglong cared for Lu Jin, and the two naturally had a sense of closeness.

"He didn't bully you, did he?" Shui Linglong asked quietly.

Lu Jin held Shui Linglong's hand: "You mean Brother Gu, he is very good to me, and he never thinks about it, but his two ladies are not easy to get along with."

"How?" Shui Linglong was interested and looked sideways at her.

Lu Jin thought for a while: "Brother Gu's main house is called Wan Ruo, he is the Night Charm King of the Valley of the Four Kings, and he gave birth to a daughter, he is fierce, and his temper doesn't seem to be good, and Brother Gu is a little afraid of guilt."

"Really?" Shui Linglong smiled, "What about the other one?"

Lu Jin pouted and said, "The other is called Liu Ximei, who used to be the top brand of Miaochun Pavilion, although it is a side room, it is no different from the main room, and Brother Gu respects her very much and obeys her words. He is really beautiful and very kind to his subordinates, but somehow he is indifferent to me."

"Since you don't get along well with them, how can they let you go out alone with Brother Gu?" Shui Linglong is well-informed, although she guessed the reason, she still has to ask.

Lu Jin blinked, "I can't cry until they agree."

Shui Linglong couldn't help but "poof" and laughed: "It's really yours, it's not a way to always do this, it's better for you to tell the truth and tell them about you."

Hardship, maybe the situation will be better."

Lu Jin shook his head: "I can't say, if Big Brother Gu really pays off the debt for us after he finds out, we owe him too much, this must not let them know, and my sister must keep it secret for me."

"Don't worry, I won't say it, I'll leave tomorrow to go back to Silang alone, even if I want to say it, no one will listen to me." With a flick of her fingers, a strong wind pierced the wick, and the oil lamp flickered a few times and the flames went out.

Shui Linglong held Lu Jin's hand: "Sleep, I have to go early tomorrow morning!"

In the early morning of the second day, after several people had eaten, Shui Linglong said goodbye to them and left alone.

Lu Jin looked at Shui Linglong's distant figure, reluctant to give up. It's hard to find a sister who can talk to her heart, but in the blink of an eye, she will be separated again, and she must be depressed.

Gu Shengchao accompanied her until Shui Linglong's figure completely disappeared at the end, and then he was relieved: "We will meet again because of fate, and we should also set off."

"Hmm!" Lu Jin agreed to get on the horse and silently accompanied Gu Shengchao on the way.

It was hot at noon, and the two of them rested under the tree to drink water to relieve their fatigue, Lu Jin remembered something and said, "Brother Gu, there is one thing I don't know whether to ask or not?"

"Ask, you treat me as a brother, you're welcome." Gu Shengchao said with a smile.

Lu Jin asked cautiously, "That Miss Wei Chi Yao's mother is your wife, why does she call you the eldest brother again, isn't it a mess of generation."

"This one!" Gu Shengchao laughed heartily, and told Lu Jin in detail about the causes and consequences of Liu Ximei and Wei Chiyao.

Lu Jin couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this: "Sister Liu is kind-hearted, why did she ignore my love and make me lonely."

Gu Shengchao couldn't say anything about this question, so he had to divert the topic and said: "In short, she is a good person, there must be her difficulties, we have a lot of understanding and understanding, and we will not be wrong."

Lu Jin was silent, but said in his heart: That's with you, anyway, I don't like it.

The two hurried unhurriedly, walked for more than ten days, and finally came to Pinghua County.

came to the government to verify his identity, and the county shou Hang Yifan served diligently, and asked Gu Shengchao to take a seat, and he stood below to make a statement.

No one told Lu Jin what to do, she stood behind Gu Shengchao, and she didn't know what to do.

According to Hang Yifan, the bandits in the mountains were not only numerous but also fierce, and he led almost all the officers and soldiers to be wiped out, and if they did not escape by chance, they would definitely die. However, because he was frightened there, he received a blow to the head, and when he first came back, he had some amnesia, and he had forgotten all the original things, but now that he was much better, it is estimated that he will be fine in the future.

"Is it serious?" Gu Shengchao also heard some rumors that it would really be like this if he was overly frightened or had a brain injury.

Hang Yifan smiled embarrassedly: "My lord, I just escaped from the bandits and it was more serious, and I didn't even know my wife and children for a while, but the more I recovered, the better I recovered, and now I am basically cured."

Gu Shengchao stared at the left half of his ear and said, "My ear was also injured that time!"

"Return-sama, exactly."

"How long?"

"It's been more than three months." Hang Yifan reached out and touched half of his ear, "Now that the wounds are all healed, please rest assured."

Gu Shengchao sensed Hang Yifan's calm breath, and asked casually, "Do you know kung fu, how can you escape from the bandits?"

Hang Yifan said in a low voice: "Xia Guan only embarked on the official career by taking the examination for fame, and occasionally used the stone lock to practice strength, but he didn't know kung fu."

"In this case, how many officers and soldiers can be mobilized now?" Gu Shengchao asked as he flipped through the file.

Hang Yifan said without hesitation: "Counting the pro-soldiers who have just gathered in the palace, there are more than 300 people, if it is far from enough to clear out the bandits, we still need to pay close attention to recruitment and training."

"Is there a martial arts sect in Pinghua County that is willing to help, so that it can have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort." Although this is Gu Shengchao's hometown, he has taken refuge from home since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he took revenge and killed Zhao Yinhu and sent Ding Ying to the Seven Star Cliff, so he is not very familiar with this place.

"Yes." Hang Yifan replied affirmatively: "There is a Golden Bull Peak more than ten miles away

, which is entrenched in the Golden Bull Village, used to have conflicts with the government. This time, Xia Guan escaped from death and came back from death, and went to Xiaozhi many times to reason with emotion, and Jiang Mu, the big boss of Jinniuzhai, was finally persuaded and agreed to contribute to the imperial court."

"Oh, and such a good thing, how many people can come out of Taurus Village?" Gu Shengchao is also amazing.

Hang Yifan said: "There are more than 200 people in Jinniu Village, and there are about 150 people who can go to the battlefield."

"There are far from enough, so where is the bandit's lair, and is there an atlas to refer to?" Gu Shengchao secretly made up his mind and looked for an opportunity to spy on the enemy.

Hang Yifan found a map of Pinghua County, pointed to a place called Huanlong Bay, and said: "This is here, the mountains surround the road and it is difficult to walk, no one knows where they are hiding, we were ambushed by them last time and suffered heavy losses."

Gu Shengchao noticed that Hang Yifan's palms and fingers had a thick layer of calluses, which was obviously caused by often holding the blade.

He silently remembered the general location and the towns he was passing through: "How far is it from our place?"

"More than one hundred and thirty miles." Hang Yifan answered every question fluently, and he should worry a lot on weekdays, which made Gu Shengchao very satisfied.

Gu Shengchao closed the dossier: "That's all for today, let's go to the guest room for a night's rest when we're tired."

The road was hard, and he was worried that the weak Lu Jin would be tired, so he had to rest early.

"The lower official has already sent someone to prepare, my lordship, please." Hang Yifan is currently leading the way.

Out of the mansion, three sedan chairs have been prepared to carry the three of them to an inn.

"Your Excellency, please." Hang Yifan walked into the inn, and the innkeeper trotted out to greet him.

"These two are court officials from the capital, you have to serve well, and there must be no mistakes." Hang Yifan ordered.

"Definitely, definitely, Lord Hang, don't worry." The innkeeper agreed, but showed a hint of reluctance.

After settling down Gu Shengchao, Hang Yifan said goodbye and left.

Lu Jin was really tired, so he yawned after eating something and went back to the guest room to sleep alone.

Gu Shengchao couldn't sleep, walked to the lobby downstairs, and saw that the innkeeper was still settling accounts, and the abacus in his hand was crackling, so he walked over and sat next to him.

The innkeeper had already noticed Gu Shengchao, and seeing that he had no intention of leaving, he hurriedly put the abacus aside and said politely, "Do you have something to ask about here?"
