The afterglow of the setting sun will pour this side of the world into dusk, and under the afterglow, people are yellow, horses are yellow, and sand is yellow.

Forty miles outside Guyan Town, a man and a horse, people listen to the horse stepping on the sand, the horse stumbling with the person, as if chatting, so one after the other, walking unhurriedly. The hustle and bustle of the small border town during the day seems to have gradually thinned out with this person.

"Old friend, take two steps, it's almost there, maybe it's the last trip." The man smacked his dry scab lips and said.

"Hmph......" The horse flicked its nose as if irritated, and stopped, and the sand still warm wrapped it in a lazy place.

"Hey! Walking, old friend, what does this mean, don't play tricks! Ma simply fell to the warm sand.

"Ancestors!" Dai Piaopiao is quite helpless at the moment, this horse is more difficult to serve than his mother. "If you want to drink water, or if you want to drink, you speak." Dai Piaopiao took off two gourds from his waist, picked one with one finger, and asked the horse with a smile.

The horse simply stuck its head on the ground and lay on its stomach.

"Stop! Lao Tzu didn't go either, slept and slew, and returned to the city after drinking. He sat down on his horse in anger and drank greedily.

"If you drink like a cow, I'm afraid I won't have a cup left when you come to me." The man was thin, as if there was an extra sword on the ground. The horse neighed when he heard the sound, and lifted Dai Piaopiao on his heels.

"Big brother! People are scary, scared to death! Dai Piaopiao jumped up, spit out a mouth full of sand, and smiled.

The visitor was silent, but caressed the horse with his face against his chest, as gently as if he were caressing his wife's hair.

"Wow! This little. Lao Tzu raised you for three months, and he didn't let me ride it, but when I saw this half of the person, I saw my mother. "Dai Piaopiao is quite like a resentful woman.

"Half a man?" The visitor asked with a smile.

"There are less than half of you, you are closed, I will send you three times a month to eat and drink, and you will take them to worship the heavens? Do you still look like a skinny person! Dai Piaopiao shouted in a rough voice.

The visitor looked into the distance, his eyes were indescribably worried, as if he was contemplative, and he only said for a while: "Thank you." ”

Dai Piaopiao is a talker, and when he encounters this kind of three-stick person who can't make a fart, he is so anxious that he rubs his feet: "Thank you, go to the city and make up for it, don't let your brother come and say that I starved you, just take care of my own food and drink, whether you Gu Ming lives or dies." ”

"Isn't it?" Gu Ming said.

"What's the matter? What's not it? You're not hungry? Look at your thin appearance, Lao Tzu can pick your teeth after eating. Seeing that Gu Ming was silent, he said again: "Hurry up, it's been a few months, it's not easy to recover, and it's a few days in advance." ”

"Not healed yet." Gu Ming said lightly, his voice was very small, and he didn't know if he was hungry or injured.

"Pack less." Dai Piaopiao rarely said only two words, looking around, the vast sea of sand, only the footprints of one person and one horse, and nothing else. Gu Ming seemed to appear out of thin air, and it seemed that he had been here all along.

"People walk on the snow without a trace, and your mother's sand is also traceless, showing more skills." Dai Piaopiao pouted.

"Get used to it."

"Chen Laogou taught you, he is not as used to as you." Dai Piaopiao seemed to be a little jealous.

"He taught us both at the same time." The person who came said lightly.

"Okay, you're smart, why did you come out if you didn't recover?" Dai Piaopiao was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked.

"There are two days left until the promised day." Gu Ming looked into the distance worriedly: "The day he said is to count all the accidents and emergencies, even the time when the horse may have diarrhea, and the time when a sea suddenly appears in the desert and needs to be boated." After a pause, he looked at Dai Piaopiao, who suddenly became serious, and said, "If you count it in this way, today has not yet arrived, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome." ”

"What's going on?" Dai Piaopiao said very little when he needed to use his brain or had no idea in trouble, and he seemed to be a lot calmer.

"Go and see, or wait?" Gu Ming asked, and then said, "Or do you wait, I'll find it?" ”

"Lao Tzu can't sit still! Go back, I'll find it. Dai Piaopiao's idea must be to act immediately - grabbed Gu Ming's placket with one hand, threw it on the back of the horse that was still grinding, and flew up according to the horse's buttocks: "Go home, little cheap horse." ”

But when he saw that the horse had not moved, he turned his head to look at him, and the man sat on the horse and looked at him quietly, and sighed.

"Let's go." Gu Ming said.

"Where are you going?"

"Aren't you going to make it up?" Gu Ming said, "You have to make up for it quickly." ”

"Haha! Walk! Dai Piaopiao laughed loudly and turned his head as he spoke.

"Get on the horse."

"No! This ancestor threw me three times today, and if it weren't for your horse, I would have had more jerky for wine at this moment. After that, he poured another sip of wine and threw it to Gu Ming.

"Then I'll go first, I'll wait for you in the city." With that, he stroked the mane of the horse's neck, and the horse began to move as if he understood the words, and walked a few steps in front of the rude man who always bullied him. "Chase the moon, feed him some sand." When the horse heard this, he neighed, kicked his hooves, and really picked up a pile of sand and threw himself at Dai Piaopiao's door, who dodged a beautiful somersault, and chased the moon for half a mile, and the jubilant look seemed to have exerted all the strength that had been saved for months.

"Phew! Little horse. Tonight, I won't unload your two horse legs and roast them. After that, he flew out ten zhang like a swallow in an instant, completely without the stumbling when he led the horse, and a little more on his toes, the next moment the person had landed firmly on the horse's back, stood still on one foot, and snorted at Gu Ming, who was standing side by side, very proud. Chasing the moon bumped up and down, and the two of them didn't move, as if they were growing on horseback.

Guyan Town, like Qinggang City, is the border of the Southern Qi Kingdom. It is the same as a frontier defense area, but the difference is that Qinggang City intercepts the Western Regions in the east and rejects Beihu in the south, while Guyan Town only borders the Western Regions. said that it is a town, if it is really calculated, this town is bigger than Qinggang City. If the people of the surrounding villages go to the town, they only say that they will go into the city and go to the city. The common people said, where there are city walls, then it has to be called a city, a town? Have you ever seen a town this big? Why isn't that circle over there called a "town wall"? Today's city gate is a little more lively than in the past, and the government has posted a notice: The criminal Chen Yuan, Longyouren's clan. On the ninth day of May, he and others assassinated Hu Bing, the deputy commander of the Qinggang Chengbei Yuan Army, resulting in the death of all six members of Commander Hu's party. The culprit was stabbed several times in his back and was seriously wounded. Those who know the thief and his parents or the person who knows the thief will immediately report to the government and a reward of ten taels. The reward for the body is 100 taels, and the reward for capturing the thief alive is 1,000.

The man on the horse listened to the illiterate reading of the notice with the difficulty of the man standing on the horse's buttocks, and his concern intensified in contemplation.

"Hah! Dad's! It's so ugly! It's not ...... yet" Dai Piaopiao didn't finish speaking, and the person in front of him stood up and covered his mouth.

"Brother should not talk nonsense, there are many people talking." Gu Ming said.

"Oh yes, yes, quietly." Hurriedly nodded softly, and after a while, he exploded again: "Afraid of balls!" Who can hurt him in front of me! His eyes were bigger than chasing the moon, and his beard stood on end.

"Drive!" The former hurried his horse and entered the city.

"Looks like something is really wrong." One person at the dinner table was worried and threw a peanut into his mouth.

"Hey! He had two accidents in three days. One person didn't really care, one pig's trotter in each hand was biting, and his face was black and shiny.

"How could a charlatan run to assassinate an official of the imperial court?" The worried man was puzzled and threw a peanut into his mouth.

"It definitely wasn't he who killed him, this cowardice is hurting again." Those who don't care are sure. "The tree is a big wind! We are the best in the world. Seeing that he was still absent-minded, he grabbed a sheep kidney, and said: "Hurry up and eat, only when you are full will you have the strength to look for him, maybe when you find him, he is surrounded by the army, and we have to fight with the army for the first time." Ahaha! My old generation is also a person who has been on the battlefield and fought! "The bearded man has endless fun just thinking about it.

"Okay, then after eating and getting ready, let's go all the way to Qinggang." Gu Ming pursed his mouth and immediately decided. "Little Er, two bowls of dry noodles."

"Hey! That's right, you can make up for it first, and I'll go out to make up for it. The things that each bought and used were at most half an hour, and we met at the south gate. Dai Piaopiao squeezed his eyes at Gu Ming and said with a smile.

Gu Ming also laughed, took the chopsticks and shook his head: "When is it, you!" Looking at Dai Piaopiao, who had run out of the door, he said secretly: "Isn't this ramming really four waists." ”

Night, South Gate.

"Why are you dragging your feet like this!" Gu Ming was a little angry.

Dai Piaopiao was silent and put his hand into his arms.

"What's dumb? You don't know what we're going to do? Gu Ming reprimanded.

Dai Piaopiao was still silent, his hand groped in his arms for a long time, took out a narrow piece of silk, and said, "Look for yourself." ”

"What?" Gu Ming's tone softened slightly, but he still couldn't help but glare at him.

Unfolded the strip of cloth in his hand and wrote: "My guess, nine times out of ten." The mastermind behind the scenes, he wants to get rid of me. The medicine has arrived, come to me quickly, the water of the long river. Gu Ming slowly finished reading in a low voice, looked up at Dai Piaopiao, frowned and said, "Where did his handwriting come from?" ”

"Don't you think I'm too late? Hum! Dai Piaopiao snorted coldly, don't look over.

"What? I found my mother, and I became a girl? Don't hum and chirp here. Gu Ming said.

"What's wrong with the girl, this is what the girl gave me." Dai Piaopiao snorted again and said.

"Which?" Gu Ming was a little stunned.

"The one who sleeps with me." Dai Piao Piao said.

"When didn't you sleep three or five in a row? Which one? Gu Ming said angrily.

"It's the Oiran of the Xianglou." Dai Piao Piao said.

"How could she have a handwritten letter from her distant brother?" Gu Ming said.

"It was also given to her by a girl inside, and asked her to pass it on to me." Dai Piao Piao said.

"What's such a mess! Which one does Brother Yuan know? Gu Ming felt that there was already a mess in his mind, and he was entangled a few times by Dai Piaopiao.

"Okay, you listen to me once, don't interject in the middle of the question, don't interrupt me, and forget when you interrupt. I'll be honest, as long as you dare to interrupt, I dare to forget. Dai Piaopiao said like a slander.

Seeing that Gu Ming didn't open his mouth, but just stared at him fiercely, he instantly felt comfortable and smiled: "Haha!" Honestly. ”

"Say!" Gu Ming shouted in a calm voice.

"Okay, okay." Dai Piaopiao hurriedly stopped laughing, and then said: "There is a girl in Xunxianglou who was rescued by us before, and she served Ji Tongcheng in Yincheng. Didn't they save a lot of people, some stayed, and some didn't change their lives? But what else can you do if you change places? They are also poor people, and they have nothing else and no relatives. Most of them can only go back to their old jobs, and the girl who received the letter is one of them. Dai Piaopiao said.

"Oh, I see." Gu Ming said, and then hurriedly said, "I didn't interrupt it, and I didn't ask questions." ”

Dai Piaopiao laughed for a while, and then continued: "After receiving the letter, the girl forwarded the letter to the Oiran, and told me what I looked like and dressed up, and let her give it to me when she saw me." ”

"Why didn't she give it to you herself? Afraid of having no face for Engong? Gu Ming asked.

Dai Piaopiao didn't answer, groped twice in his arms, and took out another letter.

Gu Ming unfolded the small paper and read: "Sister Qian'er, the letter has been received, everything is fine." This reply has important matters to entrust. One of our sisters' three fathers is in distress and needs the other two to come to the rescue, and it just so happens that the bearded grandfather is near you. Where you are, the place where the biggest fireworks are located, the benefactor will come. My sister is afraid that you will pass by with Engong, so she will write another cloth strip, and you will hand it over to the Oiran and inform her of Engong's appearance, please pass it on. If the prince goes, he will find the oiran. My sister is busy now, so I won't say much for the time being, and I'll get together later. Smoke. ”

"Smoke ...... This is? That Yanqi's letter? Gu Ming asked.

"Exactly, the girl who received the letter is also one of the people we rescued last time." Dai Piao Piao said.

"You ...... her" Gu Ming stopped talking, looked at Dai Piaopiao and raised his eyebrows.

"Huh?" Dai Piaopiao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said angrily: "Let go of your fart!" How could Lao Tzu attack an acquaintance! She's so pathetic. ”

"I didn't say anything, what are you anxious about? I mean, you checked with her herself, don't be a trap. Gu Ming said.

"I've confirmed, I have an impression of her, she knows me, and everything she says is right." Dai Piaopiao said, "I still gave her ten taels of silver for nothing, and I didn't even glance at half of her exposed tits." Hum! ”

Gu Ming was speechless for a while, and then said, "It seems that the two of us left early, and the place where you live may not be safe." ”

"I think so too, otherwise he used to give me a book directly from the flying pigeon, and this time he was so roundabout." Dai Piao Piao said.

"It seems that the situation is even more dangerous than we thought." Gu Ming looked at the moon that had already poked out half a head behind the mountain in the distance, and said with a sigh of relief.

"What secret does he know? Why is even the government taking him now? Dai Piaopiao also learned Gu Ming to sigh.

"Not to mention the government." Gu Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, and took out a small wooden plaque from his arms. There is only one word engraved on this dark wooden plaque, kill. It was also dyed with cinnabar, a blood-red blood-red killing word, turned to the back, and two words were also carved, and it was written: Chenyuan.

Dai Piaopiao stretched out his hand to take it, flipped it over and looked at it twice, and sneered: "What is this, this!" ”

"Kitahara Nirvana." Gu Ming smiled bitterly, "When you asked for flowers, I received it." ”

"Peng Taiping?" Dai Piaopiao asked.

"Well, the order is issued to all the sects in the whole country, and the name of the person their gang wants to kill is engraved on the back. You can not help them kill, but you can't go against him, deliberately hide him or protect him, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war with Kitahara. Gu Ming said.

"It's so domineering!" Dai Piaopiao scolded.

"What's so domineering about this, it's just to inform the major sects that this person is just our mortal enemy of Beiyuan, and I didn't ask you to work for them." Gu Ming said.

"And people have told the world, we must kill this person, if you still help him, isn't it against others? If I don't die with you, will I still be good friends with you for generations? Gu Ming said again.

"Isn't this the kind of person they are chasing and killing has nowhere to hide?" Dai Piao Piao said.

"That's right, that's the purpose. And if you really kill this person, you can ask Kitahara to do one thing for you, of course, it can't hurt heaven and reason, and it can't be an unreasonable request. Gu Ming said.

"Oh, that's it, isn't this a wanted warrant?" Dai Piao Piao said.

"You are also a master of Lingyun Palace, why haven't you even heard of the killing order." Gu Ming said.

"You've heard it, what's the use? Do you have one? Dai Piaopiao scoffed.

"Of course there is." Gu Ming is naturally authentic.

"What?" Dai Piaopiao's eyes widened in surprise.

"You Lingyun Hall also have it, and the larger sects have their own killing orders." Gu Ming said.

"That's easy to do!" Dai Piaopiao slapped his palm and said, "You go back to your lonely peak, I will go back to my Lingyun Palace, let's issue a kill order together, kill Peng Taiping, damn!" ”

"Huh...... In what name? Gu Ming asked.

"Do you want a name?" Dai Piaopiao asked.

"After all, if you want to cooperate with you, how can you do it without a valid reason? Those so-called martial arts righteous paths care most about reputation, like dung beetles care about dung balls. Besides, Peng Taiping doesn't need you to issue a kill order. Gu Ming said.

"Then Beiyuan wants to kill Chenyuan, what is the name." Dai Piaopiao asked.

"That's what I just said, you don't need to issue a kill order." Gu Ming said.

"What?" Dai Piaopiao couldn't figure it out.

"Peng Taiping is dead." Gu Mingdao looked at Dai Piaopiao who was in a daze, and said slowly: "Brother Yuan killed him." ”

"What?!" Dai Piaopiao was completely stunned.

"It's not just Peng Taiping, but all the martial arts heroes who came to celebrate his birthday that day were all killed by Brother Yuan." Gu Ming said.

"Fart! He's not that man! Dai Piaopiao said angrily, "He was wronged!" ”

"Who said that! What is the evidence! Dai Piaopiao said angrily.

"There are a few people who survived, Old Man Wu, the master of the Ten Thousand Doctors Valley, Guo Yunjie, the head of the Qinghe faction, Li Yi of Xiaotai Mountain, etc., seven or eight survivors, all of whom are quite famous, and all of them came out to testify that they were killed by Brother Yuan." Gu Ming said.

"They're all farts! Not to mention seven or eight people, it's seventy or eighty people! That's also seventy or eighty farts! "Dai Piao Piao is firmly authentic.

"It's okay for others to say, it's just that this old valley master, who is highly respected, gave us Gufeng before, and also has the grace to save his life......"

"Grace to grace! Fart to fart! Don't get confused! If you have a kindness, you will repay the kindness! Poke his asshole if you fart! One yard to one yard! Dai Piaopiao blew his beard and glared.

"Haha!" Gu Ming laughed out loud and said, "That's right! I am relieved that you believe in him so much. ”

"Without further ado, hurry up and find him! Now the government and the rivers and lakes are chasing and killing him, which is equivalent to! This guy knows something terrible! They were joined together to extinguish their mouths. Dai Piaopiao said anxiously.

"Do you know where to look?" Gu Ming was surprised.

"Isn't there one on the strip! The first two sentences can be understood, just the last four words, the water of the long river, what does it mean? Do you make it clear that you are talking about the location? Let's just find a long river near Qinggang City. Dai Piaopiao said.

Gu Ming laughed and said, "You are half right, the last four words are talking about the location, but it is not by the river." ”

"What did you mean then?" Dai Piaopiao asked.

"The water of the long river, that's a painting." Gu Ming said.

"Oh? Do you know the specific place? Dai Piaopiao asked.

Gu Ming nodded and said, "Linze." ”

"When we were in Linze, we were always together!" Dai Piaopiao wondered.

"We haven't been together for a while." Gu Ming said.

"Oh! I'm ......"

"You're in the bed of a girl named Lele." Gu Ming nodded and said with a smile.

"Hey!" Dai Piaopiao scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Let's go, hurry up!" After that, he had jumped on the horse's butt and stood still, chased the moon and blew his nose twice, and looked back, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

"Hah! You also know that it is embarrassing, Brother Yuan can find you in this way. Gu Ming said with a smile.

"You can't go!" Dai Piaopiao shouted.

Gu Ming also jumped on the horse, stroked his mane, and said softly: "Go, chase the moon, be fast." ”

When the horse heard the sound, he immediately threw his hooves and galloped, and Dai Piaopiao almost fell off the horse without standing firmly, and scolded: "Little beast! I didn't know you could run so fast! ”

The two of them galloped towards Linze under the bright moon, Gu Ming looked a little worried: This time, can the prospects be as bright as this moon sky? He didn't know.
