24 Chapter 24

Xie Ci pulled Gu Wan out of the tomb and returned to the ground.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the snow is white, and the earth is plain and quiet, under the faint silver moonlight. The two stood on a high slope and watched for a long time, until a cold wind blew in their faces.

"Let's go."

Xie Ci stretched out his hand to Gu Wan, jumped onto the top of the cliff, the two turned over and got on their horses, and turned back and left.

Their horses have changed, the war horses are as eye-catching as the armor, the newly bought horses are not so good at climbing the mountains, and the two of them are a long way to go, and when they go down the mountain and cross the hills and return to the avenue, the sky is already cloudy, the tea stalls by the road have been smoked in the morning, and the early business routes and pedestrians are already on the way.

Xie Ci thought about it, "Let's go find Cao Yong." ”

Now, it has been affirmed that the person who was burned beyond his face was Xun Xiao. According to the information currently available, he should have realized that something was wrong at the last moment, strangled the Beirong soldiers and changed their armor, and then managed to escape from death.

He must have escaped.

Gu Wan said, "He should have burns, right?"

She judged based on the restoration of the information, if the fire was small, the people Xun Xun sent to control the scene and even Xun Xun himself should be able to see his movements, and besides, if the Great Wei army could be wiped out, the fire would definitely not be small. Otherwise, Long Shouren would not have the conditions to make up.

With such a fire, it is absolutely impossible to escape from nine deaths without being burned at all, unless you cultivate immortals. When Gu Wan was on the mountain, he asked for his thanks, "Is there anyone who is most likely to rescue and take him in?" Xie Ci pondered for a long time: "Most likely, it is a guard surnamed Luo." ”

The two of them had a previous trip to Suzhou, and what they gained was definitely not just a Xun Rongbi, they had repeatedly studied the files of the collaborator case, and by the way, they had even read Xun Xiao's copy, and he had an excellent memory of thanks, he had read the list of guards who had died in his duties, and found that there was no one surnamed Luo he knew.

Xun Xiao's mother has a companion room surnamed Luo, and the nurse is also surnamed Luo, and the guard is his maternal brother, who followed Xun Xiao to practice martial arts and march together, but Xie Ci inquired, Luo Huwei retired from war wounds a few years ago, and has long been not on the military register.

Finding someone is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say easy.

The conditions are very clear, the surname is Luo, and the family has taken in a person with burns who is likely to be more serious.

But the problem is that Luo is a big surname in the northwest, and almost a dozen households have a surname Luo, just like the national surname Zhang and Chen in later generations.

And Xun Xiao is not necessarily

It is still in Suzhou, an important town in the north, and there are still Mingzhou Guzhou in this area, and there are many large counties and small townships in it.

The two actually thought of Cao Yong together, that is, Cao Yong, the young dart head of the dart bureau at the beginning, Weiyang dart bureau has been based in the northwest for many years, and all major cities have their semicolons, dry dart bureaus, black and white, three religions and nine streams must have a certain understanding and relationship, Cao Yong said to help them find people, no

It's an empty word.

It's not right now, and then the sentence "It's not too late to find his relatives and look for him." ”

Today is a cloudy day, the wind is very strong, the cold wind blows the snow chips on the eaves tile branches, Xie Ci raised his eyes and looked at the sound of smoke in the snow on the long street, he said: "If Cao Yong leaks the secret, I will kill him!"

At the beginning, this Yangwei Dart Bureau, the two were not chosen randomly, the Cao family received Xie Xinxin's great kindness, when the Yangwei Dart Bureau offended the official family and almost broke the ancestral family, or Xie Xinxin came forward to settle this matter and rescued the Yangwei Dart Bureau in the center of the vortex, although the Cao family is a small person, but the Xie family was unjustly escorted to Beijing, and the Cao family father and son also tried their best to run through.

The wind is cold and the snow is cold, Xie Ci's beautiful eyes reflect the snow color, and the pupils seem to be frozen, and there is a silent awe in the calm.

He looked sideways at Gu Guan.

- Xie Ci has really changed a lot, but the original trajectory is that he is strict in military discipline and decisive in killing.

Gu Wan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You have really changed." ”

gradually really coincided with the thank you in her impression.

But Xie Ci didn't have this emotion, he saw that she didn't say anything for a long time, and suddenly said this again, and his heart suddenly became anxious: "No matter what, we are still the same as before!" Always! I just feel like I can't do it anymore,......"

When the main mindset changes, everything will change with it, including the attitude towards the world. But no matter how it changes, what the future holds, he still resigns, and the relationship between the two and their families will never change!

I was in a hurry to say goodbye.

Gu Wan sneered, "I mean, you are really an adult, a man." "The ancients are sixteen into sixteen, and they really have their reasons, and the words of thanks have been sharpened too much, and the changes are especially obvious.

She said it in a teasing tone, and Xie Ci realized that she was making fun of him again, and put a heart back in her stomach, but when she said "it's a man", somehow, his heart beat two beats faster, and an unknown cramped heart arose.

But without waiting for Xie Ci to say anything, Gu Wan laughed twice, pulled him over and got on the horse, "Let's go, didn't you say looking for Cao Yong?"

Beautiful posture, the pair of long legs clamped the horse's belly, and the brown horse flicked its tail

Ba Bang trotted up, Gu Wan shook the horsewhip, the wind lifted her hair, she looked back and smiled: "Hey Xiaosi, it's up to you next, you have to lay a place for our family to settle down!"

Don't die at every turn.

Look, isn't this enough, as the so-called catastrophe does not die, there will be blessings in the future, be optimistic. It's good to let her get naked.

The storm stirred up the world, Gu Guan estimated it, and felt that this proposition was too big, and there was still a certain distance from himself. So from the very beginning, she put her position on guidance and assistance.

Now it seems that it is starting to pay off.

The wind sent her laughter: "When you become a general in the future, remember to give me a logistics rafter." Xie Ci immediately said: "How can you be a Cao rafter, at least a military priest and a lieutenant!" He had just come back to his senses, and when he heard it, he subconsciously said.

Well, the military priest's sacrificial wine is Cao Rafter's top boss, Guo Jia's position; As for the lieutenant of Sili, Zhuge Liang was.

Gu Wan couldn't straighten up with a smile: "Damn, big brother, you look up to me too muchβ€”β€”"

Although this great general was ethereal and didn't dare to put his words of thanks on himself, Gu Wan smiled so happily, his mood became more cheerful than ever, and he also smiled.

Laughter accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, trampling over the mud and snow, the two riders one after the other, and soon left this small town.

At the beginning of the day after the snow, the sky was blue and blue, and the golden winter sun sprinkled all over the earth.

Everything is finally going well.

Gu Wan's goal was small, and he disguised himself and entered Suzhou City and went straight to the Yangwei Dart Bureau, Cao Yong was very righteous and patted his heart: "Don't worry about the two brothers, wrap it up on me!"

Yangwei Dart Bureau is a veteran dart game, quite well-connected, and the dart industry often deals with the medicine hall medical hall, and there are many acquaintances, so he quickly found a qualified target.

"In Ping County, I only moved here last year."

Pingxian is a small county under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, adjacent to the Longshan branch Funiu Mountain, once there is something, over the mountain is the boundary of the state, located in the node of the east and west trade road, is a small county with a bit of prosperity.

Cao Yong attached great importance to thanking Gu Wan for his request, and after inquiring, he simply led the way himself.

Pingxian also has a semicolon of the dart bureau, Cao Yong stayed for a while, familiar with the road, according to the address he heard from the semicolon dart, all the way through the streets and alleys with thanks, and finally came to an area in the south of the city where civilians and small traders lived, at the end of a small Erjin house called Qingtou Lane.

"The Luo family only moved in last year

In Pingxian County, there is a wife and children, but it is said that the daughter-in-law took the child back to Mingzhou to study for the child, anyway, Luo Da and his cousin are left in the family. "

"His cousin was said to have had terrible burns, but when he came he was almost well, and he didn't need to go to the doctor. But I heard that he was a madman,...."

Gu Wan muttered in his heart, of course it's almost good, if he doesn't get lucky, he should die. Cao Yong's footsteps flickered: "This is it!"

Cao Yong is a very sophisticated person, and when he saw that Gu Guan was staring at the portal without a surprise on his face, he said: "I'll go back to the semicolon first, you can't stop seeing the situation, and you can't stop returning to the dart." "Lift your feet and go.

Xie Ci stared at his back, raised his sword and followed silently, and when he turned back again, he shook his head slightly at Gu Wan, and did not find Cao Yong for the time being

Inappropriate.

At this time, it was almost dusk, Gu Wan took turns to sit in the tea shed and wonton stall and other places at the entrance of the street for most of the day, worried that his face was familiar, and finally found an inn to open a room on the third floor, opened the window to see, and just took in the entire small courtyard.

So she stared while sipping melon seeds, drinking tea, and waiting for thanks.

Xie Ci finally came back, the two didn't say much, Xie Ci dried half a bowl of tea, and the two went down the stairs and went straight to the small mansion.

An alley is an ordinary commoner's house, the building is not so regular, many yards are surrounded by half yellow mud and half a fence, this two-entry small house is better, the wall is all mud rammed, but no

High, just level with Gu Guan's ears.

The remnants of snow at the top of the wall and the corner of the alley have been swept away, the slanting sun shines on the brown wall, the house and the long alley are silent, and Gu Wan walked to the door of the half-old mottled black lacquer courtyard one after another.

Xie Ci took out the slender Yanling knife and stepped forward to block in front of Gu Wan.

Gu Guan's skills are also good, but if he encounters a master like Xie Ci who has been practicing the inner family exercises since childhood, he will still suffer a lot. And Xun Xiao is such a master.

Xie Ci pushed the door with his scabbard, but did not move, he knocked with the scabbard like his neighbors.

Knock, knock, knock.

Gu Wan didn't have any opinions, she took a step back from Shanruliu, and when Xie Ci knocked on the door, she moved her head, who knows, her eyes casually skimmed over the small courtyard that she had looked at just now, and she was shocked.

Blind!

Just now, there was no one left, only a few pieces of bamboo poles were hanging in the loess courtyard fluttering in the wind, and I don't know when, there was a person standing by the door of the main house!

This person is very tall, but what Gu Wan noticed at first glance was definitely not him

height.

Instead, it was blood-red with a little scorched black, the kind of scar unique to burns, twisted and uneven, covering half of the face, even the scalp was burned off a large piece, bare and red, the socket of the left eye was distorted, and that eye looked extraordinarily red and hideous, at first glance, it looked like the eyes and face of a demon crawling out of hell!

And his left wrist was empty, and his muscles were also in a smooth red twisted state, and when the wind blew, the cuffs swayed, and Gu Wan just saw the bare arm pole.

was caught off guard and scared her a lot.

Damn! Gu Wan's corpse is not afraid, and there are a lot of disabled people, but this person's appearance and eyes are too terrifying, Rao is she is already mentally prepared, and she is also scared of adrenaline.

He turned his head in thanks, and immediately turned around to block in front of Gu Wan, and met Xun Xiao's eyes. He couldn't help but be shocked.

Xun Xiao, a famous young Confucian general in northern Xinjiang, with silver armor and white robes, is nicknamed White-faced Langjun.

The eldest son of Xun Rongbi, the governor of Suzhou, but what is even more memorable is his overly handsome appearance.

Gentle and elegant, such as the moon throwing into the wind.

Xun Xiao said coldly: "Isn't it terrifying? Isn't it like a ghost! Heh, hehehehe......"

His voice seemed to have been repeatedly rubbed by the sharpest gravel, and then burned by the high-temperature fireworks for ten days and a half, and his vocal cords could not be opened, and the voice of the evil ghost that came out of hell was extremely harsh, as if someone was holding a frustration in the eardrum and rubbing his heart repeatedly, and the heart immediately shrank when he heard it.

Xun Xiao laughed loudly, his eyebrows fierce: "Yu Yu, everything is thanks to your good uncle and cousin!"

He hated it so much that to this day, he realized that his mother and son turned out to be a joke!

Mother Pei has passed away and has been killed.

His father, whom he admired for thirty years, turned out to be a demon dressed in character! There is also a brother who has been loved like a sibling for many years, and it turned out to be a Beirong sinister who was full of malice from the beginning!

He wanted to pounce on them and bite their necks, suck their blood dry one by one, and let them suffer all the pain in the world before dying!!

He hates, he even hates all the people and things related to Xun Rongbi and Xun Xun, the two dog thieves!! Xie Ci's expression was not moved in the slightest, and he said coldly: "That's your father and younger brother." In the face of the opponent's sharp attack, he did not hesitate to counterattack.

Xun Xun is simply crazy! He hissed and shouted, and pounced frantically, Luo Qian, who was rushed out of the house, knelt up and hugged his thighs, Luo Qian dragged hard, looked over, and looked sad

Begging: "Fourth son, my master is sick, as soon as he is stimulated, it is easy to be like this, he will be fine, and he will get better after taking the medicine."

"Xun Er is not my master's brother, he was actually brought back by General Xun back then, and he said that he was an illegitimate child before marriage, and he is older than my master. At that time, the second son died early, and the general took him back, and finally took the identity of the second son.

Pei's heart was kind, Xun Rongbi discussed with her earnestly, and she accepted Xun Xun, what her son had, he also had it, and he also regarded it as her own.

Unexpectedly, it was the orphan of Princess Rilian, a malicious Beirong cub who had been planning for 20 years, and finally tore off his false face and revealed his hideous true face.

Xun Rongbi's previous relationship, Pei's mother and son didn't know anything, but in the end, it was the mother and son who endured everything!

Luo Qian remembered the moment he saw the eldest prince again, and tears flowed down his eyes, "Please, Fourth Prince, we have found out what you want to know, the master is not usually like this," The main reason is that the appearance of the thank you made Xun Xiao suddenly stimulated, slow down, and tell you when the master is good tomorrow.

"Please, please, fourth son."

Xun Xiao was like crazy, constantly struggling and drinking, even the neighbors around him were alarmed, and some children shouted, "The madman is going to beat people again!"

Luo Qian begged and quickly pulled him into the house.

The thanksgiving returned the knife to the sheath, and with a sharp "swish", Xun Xiao's state really has no way to continue to communicate anything. Guan Niang, what's wrong?

Xie Ci immediately turned around, from just now to now, Gu Wan has not said anything, Xun Xiao is indeed terrifying, he is worried that she will be scared.

It's okay, it's okay.

Of course, Gu Wan was not frightened, she was just bluffed at the beginning, she quickly waved her hand, and tiptoed at Luo Qianxun Xiao until the door was closed, and then her eyes were closed.

Surprise is also surprise, but it is surprise of surprise.

the groove.

Isn't this a ghost hand?

Gu Wan didn't expect that he could actually meet an important plot character here.

The original trajectory of the thanks, the man like the god of war who crossed the sky like a meteor.

There is a multi-wise near-demon level military advisor in his army, known as the ghost hand. The face was burned and disfigured, even the left hand, and the wrist was amputated down, leaving a bare arm pole covered with burn scars.

/>

the groove.

It turns out that these two are cousins.

Gu Wan was still very worried, would his appearance delay him from knowing the ghost hand?

As a result, she only found out now that she thought that the similarity between these two people was just accidental, but who knew that it was inevitable. Gu Wan scratched his head, but now the relationship between the two seems to be a little bit ungood?

Twilight had fallen, the afterglow of the setting sun was gradually dissipating, and the chill of the night was suddenly obvious.

Xie Ci stared at the door of the main room of the small courtyard for a moment, and then pulled Gu Wan back to the inn.

He and Xun Xun have a deep blood feud, and we will come back tomorrow.

Unlike Gu Wan, who immediately became excited after realizing that Xun Xun was a ghost hand, she was now almost sure that Xun Xiao was okay and would be of great help, but Xie Ci assessed Xun Xiao coldly.

Because Xun Xiao's surname is Xun, even if he knows intellectually that the other party is one of the victims, but just after experiencing Xun Rongbi's thanks, he can no longer get close to the other party emotionally.

is different from the previous life that Xie Ci didn't know, he has a family, and Gu Wan, different personnel at different times, he doesn't need to be warm with Xun Xiao anymore.

Xie Ci said while skillfully blowing the fire and lighting the oil lamp.

Gu Wan sat at the square table with one hand on her cheek, she looked at Xie Ci's handsome face, and with a bang, the oil lamp was lit, and the light was yellow, illuminating his thick black sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he could now be described as handsome.

The facial features have grown a little, less delicate, but more atmospheric, and more and more handsome.

But when you think about it, it's actually a good thing.

can run in with such an extreme Xun Xiao to that extent, you can imagine how lonely he is. Gu Wan thought about it like this, and immediately put that little regret behind.

Hey, thanks!

Calling the real name of thanks, Gu Wan lowered his voice and leaned over to shout.

When he turned around, her face was so close that he could even clearly see her long black eyelashes and the lines of the pupils in her slightly curved eyes.

He "Huh?" With a bang, my heart beat abruptly.

What's wrong? Xie resigned and leaned on the wall, and whispered.

Gu Wan laughed: "Thank you, do you remember what day it is?" I was stunned.

Just know you forgot.

br />

The eighteenth day of the lunar month, the seventeenth birthday of the resignation.

She smiled and raised the letter in her hand, "Forgot, right?" Fortunately, the second sister-in-law and her mother wrote early. He was stunned.

It turns out that today is his birthday.

[Clamp reason, the babies will update tomorrow and delay it to 22 o'clock in the evening~]
