17 Chapter 17
The autumn night was silent, and the sparkling water lines were reflected on Gu Guan's face.
The excuse was quickly released.
Gu Wan couldn't help laughing, but it wasn't like this.
She patted the thank you on the shoulder.
The young man's shoulders have grown a lot longer, almost seventeen, and the men of the Xie family are all in good health, and it seems that he will not be an exception.
The thighs are not thick enough, and it seems that they can only be cultivated and hugged again.
She was amused by her own thoughts.
Gu Wan smiled and hurriedly beckoned: "Let's go!" ”
Xie Ci nodded, and the voices outside were faintly laughing, and this person had to get rid of it quickly.
The two of them tied the hands and feet of the man on the ground and his mouth firmly, one raised his head and the other lifted his feet, and when the back window was opened and lowered into the water with a rope, they dragged him to the base of the dark wall and got him over.
In the dark and quiet room, the sparkling water shone on the hands of the two of them, and Xie Ci glanced up at Gu Wan, with her by his side, he was much better.
It's true that one person counts short, and two people count long.
He didn't dare to imagine that he was the only one who could face the vast road ahead.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
"Okay."
Xie Ci and Gu Wan moved quickly, and soon tied up this person and hung him, and when he entered the water, there were signs that he was awake, but it didn't matter, he was trapped firmly, including his mouth.
After getting the person over, the two of them turned back again, and managed to put down all the man's partners just now, and did not disturb the flower girl.
Tossed all the way to the second half of the night, even the dark house quieted down, whether it was a fan or a prostitute, they all slept soundly in the Water Pavilion Gallery.
It is normal for these deputy army prodigals to disappear for a day or two, or even two or three days, and they come out to play, and they usually pick the next day when it is not an important errand or a time off.
This is exactly the time of the thank-you speech and Gu Guan's operation.
After returning to the small house, Xie Ci dragged everyone into the east chamber and began to torture, and Gu Wan quickly lined up the dozens of small dishes he bought today into several rows, and began to mix the powder.
By the time the thank-you torture came out, she had already sorted out the small plates and mixed them evenly.
She picked the most suitable two body shapes, looked at them carefully, and quickly painted their faces.
Concentrate and be busy until the sky is bright, and finally get it done, and put the two of them on their own armor, and the two took advantage of the dawn to re-climb over the wall and drill into the corresponding water pavilion, and when the sky outside was getting bright, someone walked away, and the two yawned and opened the pavilion door and left from the gate.
Early in the morning, the whole Suzhou City woke up, and the people at the side gate of the back alley of the Governor's Mansion went in and out, poured night incense to clean up the waste, drove the mule cart out to buy, and went to work and changed the guard, which was the time when the most people in the day were best mixed in.
At this time, the advantage of thanking comes out.
He was very familiar with the operation of the army and the Governor's Palace, and took Gu Wan into the back alley, and the two of them stretched their waists and picked their teeth, and entered the Governor's Mansion from the side door of the special guard for the deputy military palace to walk straight to the guard camp on duty.
The two of them had good luck this time, the white-skinned young deputy army Lao Tzu was the deputy steward of the house, the front house was quite weighty, and the young man knew a lot of things - it was confirmed from here that Xun Rongbi should really be imprisoned.
entered the Governor's Palace, and according to the information confessed by the young man, the two of them changed their shells again and became palace guards, and they wasted a lot of thoughts, and finally succeeded in approaching the courtyard where Xun Rongbi was imprisoned.
Xie Ci raised his head slightly, staring at the two-entry courtyard with a somewhat complicated expression, an old red pine with lush branches and leaves like an umbrella cover, planted on the left side of the vestibule compound, the west wind was cold in September, but the big tree did not see the leaves falling, and it was still lush and green.
He was in a thousand moods for a while, this yard is where Xie Ci lived when he was a child, the big pine tree was planted by his uncle Xun Rongbi with him, when Xun Rongbi taught him, saying that people are like trees, there are cold and fallen leaves, and they have always stood up after drought and cold.
We should be like the big pines.
The scene of the past was surging, Xie Ci shook his head vigorously to shake it away, and he told Gu Guan, "There is a drainage canal in this courtyard, let's go in from there." ”
Of course, Xun Rongbi's courtyard for recuperation will not be heavily guarded, and this place is boundless, only loose on the outside and tight on the inside. But after Xie Ci experienced the battle of the Iron Threshold Temple, he knew that there was an unexpected loophole in the drainage canal, and he thought about it, it should be enough.
The two of them found a hidden spot, opened the ditch and tried it, and they could barely enter, but this Suzhou was a node of the closed town, and it was built more carefully than the Iron Threshold Temple Prison, and they climbed halfway through and found an iron fence.
Fortunately, the two of them were prepared, and immediately pulled out a thin bamboo from the side of the calf, and each pulled out a very expensive saw blade from it.
The two saw blades were scrapped one after another, and the iron fence was also sawed open by them, and Gu Wan finally successfully drilled through the drainage canal and entered the courtyard where Xun Rongbi was recuperating.
The two soon discovered that the people were actually concentrated in the first courtyard, and the servants who were in a hurry to deliver medicine and water in and out stopped their steps after entering the first sword courtyard, and their silent expressions revealed a kind of panic.
I should have been silenced after worrying about something.
If Xun Rongbi's illness is true.
As for the door to the second courtyard, it was locked, and only a dumb servant opened the door with a key and brought breakfast in, and soon came out in silence to lock the door again.
Xun Rongbi was locked up in the second courtyard.
There are not many people guarding inside, and there is a henchman guard in the four corners of the courtyard, Xie Ci and Gu Wan carefully observed, and found that the three commanding heights not far away brought the entire second courtyard into view.
The doors and windows of the main house of the second courtyard were nailed to death with wooden boards, and only a narrow drawer for delivering food was left under the main entrance, and the large lock on it was shiny, which was a combination lock.
Ancient combination locks were also quite troublesome, at least there was no way to open them quickly.
This governor's palace is heavily guarded, and the commanding heights can be seen at a glance, but thanks to Gu Guan's patient observation, he finally found that he could still manage to get in.
No matter how nailed the doors and windows are, there are living people inside, and the air windows still have to be left. There is a lot of charcoal burning in the north in winter, and the gas window is open too wide, and if you look at it, you can barely allow them to drill through, this reluctance is mainly a thank-you speech, and Gu Wan is not reluctant.
This transom is at the top of a small back wall, and the wide eaves provide shelter from wind and rain, as well as the view from the vantage point, leaving room for manoeuvre. The original design of the courtyard is good, the flowers and trees under the air window are sparse until the porch, and the flowers and trees are yellow in late autumn, but they are not completely defeated.
When the light is dim at night, it should be able to flash through.
Now they have to face two problems, one is that the air window is also sealed, and an iron plate with honeycomb holes is used to clamp and lock the inside and outside, and the lock is not outside.
If you want to open the lock, you have to use a thin wire to reach in, and then poke into the lock hole, which is very difficult to operate in the air.
And the second one is the most sinister.
The real danger of this trip is to be faced.
If it's a trap, it's triggered as soon as you enter!
The imaginable ambush and the net, Rao is the disguise of the guards, and they have repeatedly surveyed the escape route and discussed several backup plans, but it is difficult to say.
Gu Guan's resignation repeatedly observed and discussed, and this corridor beam hiding is only suitable for one person.
And in this case, it's not interesting for two people to go on an adventure together. It is best for only one person to open the air window and enter the room, and the other to leave to a safe position.
In the event of an incident, the goal is bigger and it will be more difficult to get out.
"You can only go by alone."
After Gu Wan observed, he whispered to the thank you behind him.
The wind was swishing outside, mixed with the rustling of the dead yellow flowers and trees, and she hesitated, "I'd better go." ”
Xie Yu immediately said, "No, I'll go." ”
"But are you sure you can open that lock?"
I couldn't say anything.
Gu Wan touched his shoulder: "Besides, if it's really a trap, I'm much better than you." ”
Now is not the time to be angry, yes, this stubble is actually a matter of thanks, but the problem is that under various conditions, Gu Wan is the best choice.
The lock is only one of them, Gu Wan's figure is thinner and more flexible. The other most important one, she raised her eyes and looked at Xie Ci's sweaty forehead, "You don't look at your face either." ”
Although it was cold and late autumn, the two adult guards that the two of them pretended to be were on the sideways and strong, and the two of them had layers of clothing under the armor, and they had been crawling under the ditch for so long in a tense atmosphere, and they were already sweating hot.
There is no waterproof makeup these years, and the two of them are careful and careful, and the camouflage on their faces is faintly blurred.
Once you start running, it probably won't be long before you have to wipe your real face.
You have to weigh the pros and cons, Gu Wan really has more advantages, in case there is really a trap and ambush ahead, no matter which plan, it is easier for her to run than to thank you, Xie Ci's face is really too marked.
She touched his shoulder with her shoulder, "Let me go." ”
"Keep an eye on me, wait to answer me." She smiled and said, "In case I don't make it back to the palace, I'm still waiting for you to save me." ”
In the late autumn weather, the girl's forehead was sweaty, she faded from last night's demeanor like a teacher and friend, and her face was young and childish.
Yixiao's eyes were slightly bent, but he was not afraid at all, but leaned over and whispered to him.
"Hey, did you hear that?"
Seeing that he didn't respond, she poked him with her elbow.
An indescribable emotion welled up in Xie Ci's heart, from the beginning until now, the unhesitating support and painstaking explanation last night.
The wind and rain along the way have been accompanied by her.
Xie Ci knew that Gu Wan was reasonable, and he couldn't refute a word, but in this dim ditch, he looked at her and said word by word: "Yuan Niang, if you die, when this is over, I will kill myself to accompany you!" ”
No matter how calm she spoke, she did not hide the crisis ahead.
- If something happens to her, when her father is gone, he will kill himself to accompany her!
The young man faded away all resentment and depression at this moment, whether it was the hatred of the past or the categorical persistence of last night, it faded from him at this moment, the sunset shone into the canal from the half-blocked canal cover, he looked up at the girl in front of him, and a pair of star-like eyes were full of sincerity.
Gu Wan was a little surprised, she wanted to turn around again, turned around, and looked at a pair of ink-colored eyes that thanked him, and the young man pursed his lips firmly, not for a moment.
He was serious.
Gu Guan: "...... Not really, I'm sure I'll be back. ”
What's the matter? Don't curse her!
Gu Wan hurriedly snorted, she knocked on his head, "Bah, what I said just now doesn't count!" Before you get to work, you can't say that! ”
Is it good to be evil?
She knocked him on the head twice, "Hurry, hurry up, don't talk nonsense, go!" ”
"Come on, they're about to turn over, you go back to the barracks and wait for me."
Hurry, don't waste time.
Xie Ci nodded, and he had to reluctantly turn around in the position that Gu Wan had given up.
He looked at Gu Wan for a moment, then turned around and left quickly.
……
Gu Wan was soon left in the canal.
She smiled and shook her head.
However, she quickly put the stubble behind her, adjusted her posture, and focused on lying on the mouth of the ditch and staring carefully.
Her life is still very precious, even if there is the Mariana Trench in front of her, she can't capsize here!
The sky soon darkened, and the moonlight shone faintly on the bluestone steps of the eaves wall, Gu Wan silently calculated in her heart, she quickly moved the ditch cover, rolled on the spot under the half-withered large-leaf peony, and quickly ran up the corridor, rolled and stood up and kicked the windowsill, and turned it up with the fang.
Footsteps came from behind the wall, walked to the flowerbed on the side wall, glanced at it, and turned back.
Gu Wan let go of his breath, breathed slowly, and with the reflection of a little moon shadow, he leaned on the iron plate of the air window for a long time, and pulled out two thin and long silver wires from the side of his boots, with a small half-hook on one section of the wire.
She held these two things that looked like bicycle wires but were dozens of times thinner, folded them, and poked through the holes the thickness of her fingers into the middle of the iron plate, and accurately reached under the keyholes.
Gu Wan is actually very good at opening this kind of thing, after all, this used to be her ability to eat, if it wasn't for the time conditions, she could also use the lost wax method, which was more secure and foolproof.
In about ten seconds, the hook successfully jammed a position, she pressed and pulled, the iron plate moved, she stretched out her fingers to hook the hole, took it off whole, and laid it flat on top of the beam.
The air window revealed its original appearance, more than a foot long and half a foot high, and inside the rectangular air window, it was a dark room, and there was no sound at all, only half of the black shadow of the tent was seen.
Gu Wan licked her lips, she slowly straightened up and climbed in little by little.
……
Xie Yu hurried back to the barracks of this body.
It was already dark, and the guards on duty returned to the room in twos and threes, and then left one after another, eating and eating, and going to the back alley to the back alley.
After everyone in the barracks left, Xie Yu flashed in.
He waited anxiously in his room.
Time passed little by little, and the night gradually deepened, and suddenly the door "clicked", and he turned back like lightning.
Gu Wan pushed open the door and ran over quickly.
Xie Ci had already recognized her footsteps, and rushed out with a lunge, opening the door.
The two face each other.
Gu Wan pulled his arm, "He's really dying!" ”
Gu Wan said hurriedly.
She gasped for air, and the two turned around.
From the small air window, he climbed into the room one after another, silently went straight to the bed, and looked fixedly.
Xie Ci's heart couldn't help but shake.
