Previous Chapter

At that time, Dugu Shuo was indulging in grief, and suddenly heard the words Yingzhou Secret Guard, and was suddenly startled, stopped his grief, and raised his head and asked, "Yingzhou Secret Guard?" ”

"Exactly!" The man waved his hand back.

"What is the name called? How did you get here? Dugushuo asked two questions in succession.

The man still waved his hand and replied: "Tiger Ben, thanks to the rescue of the adults that day, I have survived to this day, and I have come to repay my kindness!" ”

These three words made Dugushuo puzzled, and he didn't feel that there was doubt in his heart, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

Seeing that Dugu Shuo was puzzled and disbelieving, the tiger ben said, "Do you remember Xiao Chufeng, my lord?" ”

Dugu Shuo nodded, and the tiger ben said again: "The villain was brought to Wuzhou by Xiao Chufeng, and thanks to the adult's letterhead that day, Doctor Tianhe was willing to save the villain's life!" ”

Dugu suddenly remembered this incident and said busily: "You are the man rescued by Xiao Chufeng from Yingzhou!" ”

"It's the villain!"

"No need to be polite, I'm no longer the commander of the Internal Security Division!" Dugu Shuo said, grasping the man's hands.

At the moment, the four eyes are facing each other, like a thousand words, and like a reunion after a long absence.

"My lord, this place is not suitable for a long time, please come with me quickly!" As he spoke, the man turned and walked out.

Dugu Shuo glanced at it, hesitated for a moment, and then took Lin Fengwan and Shiqi's hands left and right, followed closely behind Hu Ben and went out.

said that Dugushuo and Tianhe said at that time, Tianhe led a group of people to Langzhou in a menacing manner.

As he said earlier, Dugu Shuo deceived Hu Ya's inner nursing home and Wuzhou and the others to go to Langzhou, but he was captured alive by Wen Xuyan, who had already designed a trap, and locked up in a dark prison, just waiting for Dugu Shuo to fall.

Besides, who is this gentle narrative? This person was originally a Kongtong Taoist, and later changed to Xiuwen, is a famous Confucian scholar in Langzhou, when Dugu Shuo was young, he liked calligraphy and literature, and Yan Qingfang sent it to Langzhou to follow Wen Shuyan to be taught.

and Dugu Shuo was older, Yan Qingfang returned to Chang'an to Wu Cao, and then to Luoyang, the capital of God, Dugu Shuo rarely went to Langzhou, and entrusted Tianhe to greet him for a long time.

This time, Tianhe led the crowd under the pretense of Dugushuo's banner, Wen Xuyan was defenseless in his heart, and was suddenly killed and killed by Tianhe's group.

When Tianhe returned with everyone, Dugushuo was gone.

At that time, Hu Ben escaped from the dungeon with Dugu Shuo and the three of them, and met dozens of Spring and Autumn Roads on the road, Hu Ben killed left and right, Dugu Shuo was indignant in his heart, very brave, and killed all the way out, and stayed until half a dozen at night, and several people had already left Wuzhou and went straight to Langzhou.

Everyone was worried about encountering Tianhe, so they avoided the waterway and walked straight to the path.

When the sky was faintly bright, everyone stopped in a dilapidated mountain temple.

Dugu Shuo probed before and after, and was sure that there was no one from the Spring and Autumn Dao to follow.

At the moment, a few people sat down and rested.

Dugu Shuo asked about Hu Ben's affairs that day, only to hear Hu Ben's words: "Xiao Chufeng took me to Langzhou that day, and according to the adult's letterhead, I sought Tianhe diagnosis and treatment, and then I recuperated for half a year before I could get out of bed, after Xiao Chufeng returned to Shendu, I have been living in the bamboo forest in the back mountain!" ”

"You mean you've been living in the bamboo forest on the mountain behind this courtyard?" Dugu Shuo asked suddenly.

"Exactly, where did I live after I was cured, at the beginning I didn't know that this courtyard was the pigeon house of the secret guard, one day I bumped into the inner guard from the god capital, I was puzzled, so I followed the investigation, and found that there were pigeons in captivity here..." Tiger Ben said.

"The internal guards of the gods, what are they doing here?" Dugu Shuo interrupted Hu Ben's words and asked.

"The internal guards are extremely keen, I don't dare to approach, so I don't know the purpose of their coming to Wuzhou, but I not only saw the internal guards of Shendu, but also bumped into Tianhe, who was chasing me in Yingzhou, and Tianhe was also in the same place, I realized that Tianhe was not as simple as the doctor on the surface, so I escaped at night. I wanted to go back to Shendu, but thinking that there were many eyes and ears in Shendu, I knew the good and the bad for a while, and once I went back rashly, maybe I would still lose my life, so I hid! Tiger Ben said again.

"Then how can you be sure that I am good or bad, and dare to come to my rescue?" Dugu Shuo asked.

"My lord is forgiving, I'm not sure if my lord is good or bad, but when I see that Doctor Tianhe is in the same place with the internal guard, and he is also leading the Spring and Autumn Dao, I believe in Lord Dugu!" Tiger Ben said again.

"Who killed you? Why should they kill you! Dugu Shuo asked.

Tiger Ben scratched his head and said: "Don't dare to hide, I don't know who killed me, I think when I was in Yingzhou, the pigeon house suddenly received a strange document from the gods, I didn't care at the beginning, but the internal guard was wrong, but after a few days, I received four or five copies one after another, I reported the matter to the head of the dark guard of Youzhou Road, but the letterhead mud cow into the sea, never returned! ”

"What's weird? What's written in it? Dugu Shuo asked.

"I said it strangely because the document should have been sent to Youzhou, and it was written about the defeat of Li Chong, the king of Langya, in rebellion. The document also mentions that there will be heavenly soldiers coming to Youzhou to help clear out the thieves, and the treasure of King Langya will also appear at that time, which can help the general trend! Hu Ben thought seriously and said slowly.

When Dugu Shuo heard this, he was also puzzled, nodded slowly, and asked again: "Is the content of several documents the same?" ”

"It's about the same in general, but the same date is mentioned in the next few copies, and grain and grass are mentioned in one of them, I realized that this matter was not trivial, so I wanted to go to Youzhou to report it in the starry night, but I was seriously injured by a group of masked people, I desperately escaped and met Xiao Chufeng!" Tiger Ben said again.

Dugu Shuo thought for a while and asked, "Is that date May 15?" ”

"How do you know?" Tiger Ben asked in surprise.

"It doesn't matter, let me ask you, how many days were those documents delivered to Yingzhou?" Dugu Shuo Road.

"It's been about a little over a month, but the last document is not the same as the previous one!" Tiger Ben said.

"Oh, what's so special about this last one?" Dugushuo asked again.

"The last one was not sent to Youzhou, it was like a reply, ah, I remembered it, the last one was written by Liu Qi, but I don't know who this Liu Qi is!" Hu Ben's eyes suddenly lit up and said excitedly.

Dugu Shuo thought about it and didn't know this Liu Qi.

The world seemed to be silent for a few moments, and after the general silence, Dugu Shuo asked Hu Ben again: "You said that you lived in the bamboo forest in the back mountain after being healed by Tianhe, so where did you live before?" ”

"Live in this yard! Tianhe lives here," Tiger Ben said.

When Dugu Shuo heard this, he seemed to drop his jaw in shock, and asked loudly, "What did you say?" Tianhe lives here! ”

"Since I was rescued, Tianhe has been living here!" When Hu Ben saw it, he was slightly frightened and said hesitantly.

Dugu Shuo listened, didn't speak, frowned, supported his chin with his hand, paced back and forth a few steps, and suddenly said: "It seems that I didn't understand Senior Brother before, I just said that he was just a doctor, I never thought that he was not only the head of the Spring and Autumn Dao, but also a hidden internal guard, how could he be an internal guard?" It's impossible, the master will never promise him to become an internal guard, besides, he has a grudge against the internal guard to kill his mother, how can he really commit to the internal guard! Dugushuo shook his head, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"Oh, you just don't want to listen to the truth, I told you last time, he is an internal guard, you don't listen, you see, this tiger said, you still don't believe it!" Shiqi got up, shook his head weirdly, patted Dugu Shuo's shoulder and said.

"What did the adults say? Tianhe, Doctor Tianhe is the head of the Spring and Autumn Dao, how is this possible? His medical skills are so exquisite, how can he be in cahoots with the thieves of the Spring and Autumn Dao! Hearing this, Tiger Ben exclaimed.

"Ahem!" Lin Fengwan suddenly coughed twice.

Shiqi pointed at the tiger ben with his finger, turned around and said, "You, you, what did you say?" How is the Spring and Autumn Dao a thief, you make it clear today, otherwise I will never spare you! ”

"Girl, forgive me, I'm talking about the thieves of the Spring and Autumn Road, and I didn't say that adults and girls are not good!" Tiger Ben took two steps back and said slowly.

"You still say? You still say? How do you know that the people of the Spring and Autumn Dao are bad people, and let me ask you, did he murder your family, or did he cut off your financial route, ah? Shiqi put his hands on his waist and stared at the tiger Ben and asked viciously.

"Girl?" Hu Ben said puzzled.

"Don't play it!" Lin Fengwan said, walked over, pulled Shiqi aside, and said to Hu Ben: "Forgive me Lord Hu, my sister has grown up in the Spring and Autumn Dao since she was a child, and she is one of the apologists of the Spring and Autumn Dao. ”

Hearing this, Tiger Ben was stunned for a moment, took half a step back, and touched the dagger at his waist with one hand.

Lin Fengwan realized it, and said hurriedly: "Lord Tiger doesn't need to panic, she thought she was in the Spring and Autumn Dao, but later because she rescued Dugu Shuo and was harmed by the Spring and Autumn Dao, she has already broken away from the Spring and Autumn Dao and followed Dugu Shuo!" Lin Fengwan said, motioning to Shiqi to say something, Shiqi saw it, and stubbornly turned his head.

Lin Fengwan only smiled, and Hu Ben relaxed slightly.

Said to Dugu Shuo: "I don't know that there is still this in it, Shicai's words offended the girl, please forgive me!" ”

The three of them talked for a long time, Dugu Shuo still paced back and forth as if he hadn't heard a word, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "I know, I know, it must be the master who is threatened, and the senior brother is the secret guard of Wuzhou, he is indeed an internal guard, how could I be so confused and ignore these!" ”

The moonlit night was vast, and several people didn't know what Dugu Shuo said, staring at it with straight eyes for a long time, Dugu Shuo suddenly knelt on the ground and cried, the cry was heartbreaking, and everyone felt that their ears and eyes were also trembling.
