36 Chapter 36

Time waits for no one, Gu Wan and Xie Ci didn't say anything more, and after hurriedly reporting a safe life, Gu Wan waved at him, and as soon as he turned his head, he went into the dark forest.

Xie Ci watched her throw the sword to her left hand, and pulled the tree right with her right hand, and the figure flashed left and right and soon disappeared. Zhang Qing was also looking around, he was a little nervous: "Master, you said, can we know who that person is this time?"

Xie Ci looked at her until he couldn't see her anymore, he looked up, the northeast wind from the grassland was blowing fiercely, and the heavy clouds were blown up and down, and he said, "I don't know." "

The only thing that can be done now is to wait.

Let's talk about Gu Guan's side.

When she and Qin Ying rushed to catch up, Chen Luo waved at them, and the two hurriedly bent down into the grass. Unknown insects fluttered, and Chen Luo told them in a low voice that Chen Lang had been packed into a box and sent to the ship.

In the ruined woods, the group of people had a smooth plan and did not need to change to kill, and after successfully capturing the people, they quickly galloped through the rugged mountains, and they made all the preparations, stepping on the thorns and grass, and soon bypassed the mountain beams to reach the shore of the Hushui tributary.

The newly grown reeds and aquatic plants swayed in the wind, and the night birds fluttered their wings in the darkness, and several canopy boats hidden in the shadows of the trees and the reeds immediately came out with oars.

The people waiting to be picked up on the canopy boat were also overjoyed, and when the boat docked, they quickly took out a large camphor wood box, untied Chen Lang from the fishing net, tied his hands and feet firmly with a cowhide rope, and threw him into the camphor wood box and locked it.

When Gu Wan hurriedly stretched out his head to look over, he saw that on the canopy boat at the foot of the mountain, two big men quickly lifted the box and put it into the cabin of the canopy, and then the oars supported the river bank, everyone jumped on the boat, and several small boats quickly left the shore and rushed downstream.

A series of movements were swift and silent, completed in the darkness of the night, leaving the chaotic commotion behind him in the blink of an eye, and quietly evacuating across the water. Chen Luo hurriedly waved his hand, and the group hurriedly chased forward.

Because this group of people is very vigilant, they keep raising their knives and vigilantly looking at the water surface and all directions on the shore. In this case, there is no way to keep up from the water. But fortunately, Gu Wan and his entourage were also extremely well prepared, this large tributary that leads directly to the pot water is one of their key targets, every other distance, there is no one of their sentry posts hidden on the mountain, even if they are tripped by the rugged terrain for a while, they will quickly bypass and follow back on the shore to catch up.

The night was gloomy, the wind blew the leaves of the forest, and the thick clouds kept flowing, occasionally pouring a ray of moonlight, and then quickly disappeared. On the shore of the water, without each other's knowledge, both sides are nervously racing against time. Speaking of Chen Lang, after he was loaded into a camphor wood box and carried into the cabin, he immediately opened his eyes

Opened my eyes.

Just now he was knocked the back of his neck, Chen Lang stiffened his neck, the back of his neck was hot, he pretended to be knocked unconscious, and now he felt the swaying of the boat, he opened one eye and took aim, and quickly pressed the ring face of a ring that Gu Wan specially made for him to wear to the wall of the camphor wood box, and then a very sharp small sword with a finger length poked out from inside.

Then it was Gu Wan who specially taught him the gestures, in case of being tied up by someone, how to place his hands, now put his fists

Open, the little sword just touched the cowhide rope.

He rubbed it for a long time, and at last he broke half of the cowhide rope, and as soon as the knot was loosened, his hand was torn out.

There were two air holes left in this camphor wood box, and Chen Lang hurried over to look at it, but he only saw the black old canopy, so he had to retract his head in his heart.

Chen Lang struggled to tear off a copper buckle on the side of his boots, which in turn was a small target lens.

He pulled out a bunch of miscellaneous small things from the side of the boot on the other side, the sole of the boot and the cuff of the belt, and the small paper bag was opened with a small bag of resin makeup powder, he stretched out his tongue and nodded his finger, carefully dipped a little base powder and ground it evenly on his index finger, and then held the target lens in one hand, and reached the side of the air hole to borrow that little light, and carefully applied it to the sides of the bridge of the nose and cheeks.

Chen Lang has been working the high imitation makeup of Xie Ci during this time, and he has practiced for a long time under Gu Guan's criticism and guidance, and finally has a good appearance, in order to place these things, he can't even bring a small dagger for self-defense.

Chen Lang is very nervous, damn it, but don't let him die. He regretted it a little, there were too few three-entry houses, at least two!

After Chen Lang carefully smeared his face, he looked left and right at the target mirror, feeling that this was the best he could try.

He packed everything back, then put the cowhide noose back on, cut off half of the position and sewed it with a needle a few times, and then turned it inward, and then he adjusted his posture and hurried to sleep.

He doesn't have a big heart, he has to hurry up and recuperate, otherwise at the critical moment, what if he can't run? Chen Lang's task this time is to be a bait to lure out this person behind the scenes.

So far, things are going well.

Zhao Chengyan and others traveled all the way along the tributaries, and before dawn they joined the pot of water, and then spent a morning leaving the boundary of Yunzhou and arriving in Min County, where they joined the people again.

At this point, they finally showed a hint of joy.

Zhao Chengyan immediately sent a message to Fan Yang, and then disguised himself again

A caravan, escorting the "thanks" and quickly leaving. All the way east.

Inside the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate.

Late that night, a letter eagle landed on the iron frame of the eagle room in the attic on the east side.

The sound of rapid footsteps went straight up the side door from the corridor, and Lu Xinyi, who was lying on the big bed, turned over and sat up. "Babbling", the door of the main house opened. "Zhao Chengyan was successfully captured, thank you?!"

In the middle of the night, the horn wind lantern was blown around, and on the orangutan velvet carpet in the main room, Lu Xinyi stood barefoot, and his heart jumped again: "Is it true?"

"Did you really catch the thanks?"

He was both happy and skeptical, and although all this was not impossible, when it finally succeeded, it would inevitably lead to disbelief and doubt. Especially a person as suspicious as Lu Xinyi.

"According to the original plan, bring people to Yanzhou, Chen Fen, you go there in person and see if it's really him!" Thanks, and Xie Mingming, Lu Xinyi was a little restless, he paced a few steps in place, and immediately ordered.

Chen Fen: "Yes!"

Chen Lang stayed in the box for seven or eight days, feeling like he was being transported around, by water and land, and finally in the day on the seventh day. He heard a new footstep rushing this way, followed by the sound of a "click" unlocking.

The lid of the box was lifted at once, the door was wide open, and his eyes pierced after a long daylight, and before he could curse, a hand reached into the box and lifted his face up.

Chen Lang's heart immediately pounded, but fortunately, the man only raised his chin strongly.

Chen Fen brushed away the messy hair on his face, the young man's eyes were fierce and indignant, his hoarse voice was full of hatred, and a pair of magnificent and unparalleled eyes flew obliquely, hateful and thrilling, but also beautiful and thrilling.

"Who are you?! Are you him? Let me out! You dog thief—"

The young man's hatred was monstrous, and he spit on his face, and Chen Fen avoided it.

He had seen Xie Ci a few times, when he was twelve or thirteen years old, but Xie Ci certainly did not pay attention to such an unimportant set board figure as him, and Lu Xinyi was very good at Danqing, and he had carefully read that painting many times before he came.

Chen Lang struggled violently, Chen Fen buckled his chin hard, looked at it carefully, and finally he rubbed his cheeks and forehead with a damp cloth, Chen Lang quickly broke away and scolded.

Chen Fen looked down at the wet cloth, it was clean, he finally put down his hand, "Yes, it's him."

"Immediately release the letter eagle and report to the master!"

Everyone showed joy, especially Zhao Chengyan.

After this sturdy man with a thick veil hanging fence appeared, he could clearly feel that the group of people in the backyard of the inn suddenly became light and excited.

The joy of pressing can't be hidden.

While Gu Wan and Qin Ying breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but get excited all of a sudden.

This shows that the correct body has been "verified"!

"Could this be the man behind the scenes?"

Gu Wan glanced at them, but after thinking about it, they all felt that it should not be. Soon, the group's movements confirmed their conjectures.

Chen Fen quickly asked them to pack up, and then the camphor wood box was reloaded, and they kept wandering in several nearby counties, and finally at the end of the next day, they did not stay, but threw all the goods down, and went straight to the suburbs with the camphor wood box.

"It's coming!"

The most critical moment has finally come.

Gu Wan couldn't help but get nervous.

Mom, I hope everything goes well.

Along the way, they were dusty, and they simply used their strength to eat milk, tracking along the river in the deep mountains and old forests, tracking all the way here, unkempt.

This is Yanzhou, which is considered an inland city, obviously the other party is very cautious, and does not intend to transport the "thanks" back to the nest, and it is probably their current hand to prevent it.

Sure enough, it's a scheming and deep goods!

The two sides battled their wits and courage, and finally reached the last step, and they gave up all these uncertain factors that were difficult to track down to ensure the maximum success rate of this strategy to lure the snake out of the hole.

Now, it's finally time for the final unveiling. Gu Wan couldn't help but tense his heartstrings.

The group followed cautiously, divided into three echelons, and the best ones in light kung fu were at the forefront, leaving hidden marks all the way, following all the way, and finally came to a small forest under the night.

In the night of the black gourd, they soon noticed that there was an eye whistle, and a few good hands took advantage of the darkness to crawl through the thorn bushes, and it took a lot of effort before they succeeded in knocking down one of them.

Even this joint location was randomly selected temporarily, which brought great difficulty to tailgating, and they couldn't judge the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes by attribution, which made Gu and the others very sorry.

But in the end, it's not in someone else's lair, and there are benefits, that is, others can use the terrain, and they too

Yes; They are not familiar with the terrain, and so are the other parties.

Chen Luo held his breath and searched the person's body, shaking his head slightly, looking at the standing posture of this sentry, he was obviously from the military, but there was nothing on his body that could prove his identity.

Gu Wan and Qin Ying glanced at each other, in that case, it was obvious that they could only determine each other's identities from the only means of seeing each other's faces clearly.

Coming here, even Qin Ying's face was calm, she stared at the direction of Zhao Chengyan and the others in the grove, and finally faded her smile and revealed a

Chilling killing intent.

But it is very difficult to kill, after all, in order for them to succeed in tailgating, they must not have a large number of people.

Gu Guan's best budget was just to see the other party's face clearly and determine the identity of the other party, and at the same time rescue Chen Lang. For the former, Gu Wan actually never dared to say it, in fact, she didn't have a lot of hope in her heart, and she always felt that it was not so easy. But at this moment, Stumbling finally came here, and the hope in her heart couldn't help but increase.

Is it really time to run?

Are you sure?

Can you?

Chen Lang felt that the carriage was shaking, and the road was getting more and more rough, and finally after about a quarter of an hour of violent jolting, he heard the sound of the carriage scraping the branches, and then the camphor wood box finally stopped.

Under the moonlight, a dozen fast horses rushed into the forest, pulled the reins of the horses, and the fat horses neighed, and stopped on the carriage. Chen Lang held his breath, he knew that it was finally here.

He adjusted his posture and pressed hard to the side of the corner of the box, tightening the eyebrow pencil in his hand.

"Click" The sound of unlocking, Lu Xinyi stood in front of the wheel, and Zhao Chengyan hurriedly jumped into the car and opened the lock. "Spit" sounded, and the lid of the box was suddenly opened!

Tonight the moon was full, the moon was in full bloom, the bright moonlight was sprinkled in the dense grove, and the large box was placed in a relatively empty position, and the lid was abrupt

With a lift, Chen Lang and the pair of sharp eyes behind the silver mask suddenly met each other.

Chen Lang: Holy!!

At the same time, he scolded secretly, and Gu Guan.

They sneaked all the way, and finally carefully lurked in a reasonable position, in the shadow of the large rocks of the small hill, and everyone stared wide-eyed for a moment.

Gu Wan saw more than a dozen flying horses, and seeing a middle-aged man taking the lead, she held her breath.

The middle-aged man in a dark blue round-necked samurai suit stood in front of the carriage, and the man and Zhao Chengyan immediately leaned over and saluted silently. This kind of subconscious movement like a physical instinct, as well as this middle-aged man who has been in a high position for a long time and has an aura that is difficult for ordinary people to reach

People, all kinds of traces are telling Gu Guan that this person is 100% the mastermind behind the scenes!

Slope up and downhill, the drop of the needle can be heard, the lid of the box is lifted to break the calm, the first time Lu Xinyi and Chen Lang met each other, he raised his eyelids: Mouth, you are not a thank you-

The fury of a deep male voice.

Chen Fen was shocked: What?!

At the same time, Chen Lang sprinkled a large handful of broken step pieces outward! Help me—the man took a step back, and in the moonlight, he could clearly see the shiny silver reflection on his face. The middle-aged man Huo Di looked up, and he had a silver metal mask on his face. - Horizontal eyebrows, angry eyes, huge fangs, the evil ghost Yaksha of Bishamon.

While seeing the silver mask on his face clearly, Gu Wan almost scolded,,!

Damn it!

Xun Xiao didn't wear a mask, you fucking wore a shit mask!!

The mood is like a roller coaster, but at this time, he can't care about anything else, Chen Lang hissed and screamed! Chen Luo's palm was buckled down, Gu Wan jumped up, Chen Luo threw it hard, Gu Wan jumped with all his strength, and jumped on the top of a tree under the hill like a night bird, a metal chain lock in her hand had been thrown out in advance, and it landed accurately in front of Chen Lang, Chen Lang's eyes were quick, hurry up and grab it!

Gu Wan pulled with all his strength, Chen Lang kicked hard, and flew up on the spot.

Chen Luo and Qin Ying were extremely disappointed, but they also immediately moved, and with a sharp whistle, they rushed down quickly.

The last few people who remained, shaking the branches and thorn bushes desperately, pretending to be a lot of people.

The other party obviously had no intention of fighting, Lu Xinyi's face was blue behind the silver mask, and he was in danger of being pulled away when he killed Chen Lang, he knew the plan, and he had no intention of staying for a long time, and the two sides only fought for a short time, quickly separated, and quickly evacuated.

Gu Wan and the others hurried to rescue Chen Lang, who was in a panic and sat under the root of the tree.

Gu Wan and they still wanted to try to chase, Qin Ying rushed out of the woods with a sword, Gu Wan hurriedly caught up, but on the other side was the avenue, Qin Ying stood beside the avenue panting, and the horse's hooves rolled up the dust in the distance, and it quickly disappeared into the night.

Finally, summarizing the score of this round of action, there are about 7 points.

They were very successful in removing the delicate eyeliner that had been buried in their guards for years. This is the most important thing.

It's just a pity that I didn't see the man's face. But Chen Luo said at the time: This is a short man. A very important clue.

Gu Guan

Chen Luo and they didn't know if the other party had buried something in Yanzhou, and after rescuing Chen Lang that night and chasing him out of the avenue only to see the horse's buttocks, they quickly withdrew.

Return to Yunzhou overnight.

Chen Luo said that the person was short, but in fact he was not short, but compared to a burly and tall man like Qin Xian and Chen Yan, the other party was about half a head shorter, and he was a medium height.

"Then it can't be Huo Shen.

Chen Yan was not idle in Yunzhou, he uprooted the entire eyeliner network and swept it away, without these eyeliners, all the needles disappeared on his back, and he didn't need to be easy to look at now, he went in and out of the camp headquarters and the governor's palace freely.

Late at night, the branch lights in Chen Yanwai's study were still brightly lit.

He wrote down the names of three people, Lu Xinyi, Zheng Shoufang, and Huo Shen. Qin Xian spent a year investigating and delineating, and Su Zhen and Chen Yan also agreed very much, the three suspects.

Gu Guan's tracking was not for nothing, and according to his figure, Chen Yan immediately crossed out Huo Shen.

Huo Shen, like them, is a tall figure.

Medium height, Lu Xinyi and Zheng Shoufang are almost.

Yanzhou, go to Andong Fanyang and Yuzhou Shaan'an, if you ride fast and light at full speed, you can get there in two days.

This problem, Gu Wan and the others also analyzed it on the way back, Fan Yang is closer, but they can't use the distance as a criterion.

In the end, only these two people remained, and they chose one of the two.

Chen Yan said: "It's already good."

It was an unexpected joy, the other party calculated them, but they were counter-designed.

Chen Yan specially said to Xie Ci, he was afraid that the young people would be disappointed if their expectations were too high. But the thank-you speech will not, except for Gu Guan, none of the people present can know in detail how much deceit and danger he has experienced along the way.

Today, he has entered the army, and he is no longer a thank you who only hates and is anxious, but he is no longer overly eager. Xie Ci sat on the Taishi chair on one side and said, "I know, Uncle Chen, don't worry.

Good!

Chen Yan really thought that this result was quite good, and he took out a bright yellow holy decree from behind the bookcase and an order issued by the military department with a tiger talisman.

The order has come down, and within three days, 500,000 northern troops will assemble in Lu'an! Chen Yan said: "We will leave tomorrow and lead the army to Lu'an."

This is seven years in the making

The battle finally came. All parties moved to the army, and the northern army regrouped.

It's going to be a top-level big fight.

finally reunited the old department of the Xie family army into one, and at the same time, Zheng Shoufang and Lu Xinyi and others, large and small, soldiers and horses from all over the country were twisted together.

If there is no accident, the result that Xie Ci wants to get will also be unveiled here. When I came out of the governor's palace, it was almost dawn.

Daystar followed their path, and was about to set off with troops, and the fast horses came and went hurried around him, and Xie Ci looked at the white of the fish belly in the east, only to feel that his heart was surging, surging with all kinds of emotions.

Finally, he glanced at Gu Guan beside him: "Let's go."

Qin Ying went to see off Chen Lang, the two of them waited while walking, holding the reins and walking slowly along the Loess Avenue, the weeds and flowers on the side of the road were already lush, and the night wind blew the smell of unknown wildflowers and earth.

Gu Wan looked at Xie Ci sideways, his face was facing the dawn of dawn, a faint pale, he looked all the way in the direction of the Yunzhou camp at the end of the avenue, his eyes were stunned, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

She whispered, "Are you disappointed?" She felt very sorry, and when she passed by, she almost knew who that person was.

Between the two, they are different from Chen Yan again, and even have some feelings that even the second sister-in-law can't say, but Xie Ci has never hidden Gu Guan, and the two have always said whatever they have.

Hearing this, he thought for a moment: A little disappointed, but not very disappointed.

Thanksgiving tried to describe how he felt inside, saying: ...... I felt like I was getting close to him.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed it hard, it was so close that he only had to do his best to reach for it, and he would really be able to reach him! Enough to make his father and brother die tragically, the Xie family was overturned.

"I'd rather catch him with my own hands!" Revenge on him, every inch and every wisp, blood debt and blood payment!

Xie Ci hurriedly glanced at Gu Guan, as soon as he said this, he felt that something was wrong. Such an idea disappointed the second sister-in-law and Gu Wan too much, as if their hard-won efforts along the way were not important and undesirable.

But in fact, Xie Ci didn't think so, he didn't mean that at all, no, I didn't mean that, I just ......

Gu Guan: "I understand, I understand."

Don't worry, don't worry, she really understands.

She hurriedly appeased the anxiously explained thanks, alas, she really

can understand, she understands too much! The kind of person who has used all his strength for a long, long time and urgently needs to bring the murderer to justice, and if the result is solved by a colleague in the end, it is good, grateful and excited, but it is inevitable that there will be some feelings of loss and emptiness.

She understands the emotions of the victim's family who are eager to use all their strength to make the suspect pay ten times the price and pay the blood debt.

Gu Wan understands it too well, because she has experienced it before, and she knows too well the feeling of indignation and shocking feeling like a giant ship repeatedly crushed in her heart.

She whispered, "Who wouldn't?"

Dawn was coming, the faint light of dawn shone on the two of them, her cheeks and whole body were shrouded in a hazy morning light, Gu Wan felt pity and lowered her voice very softly and slowly.

The light of the sky, like this light veil, is gentle and soft to the extreme.

The excuse suddenly stopped, and there was no need to say anything. She understands him.

Emotions suddenly surged, and he rushed to the top door in an instant, Xie Ci's eyes were a little hot, he couldn't help it, and hugged Gu Wan heavily.

He blinked vigorously before the water glittered his eyes.

Gu Wan smiled and patted him on the back.

It's going to get better.

It's getting better, isn't it?

Well!

He thinks so, too.

Xie Ci let out a sigh, and the next moment, he realized what he had done. Almost the moment he realized this, he clearly felt the tough and soft arc, the curve of life outlining her vibrant body.

The emotions were surging and his eyes were full of tears, but he had not yet subsided, and he was stunned and rushed to the peak, his blood rushed upwards, his heart pounded out of his chest, and where his hands, feet, and chest touched her body temperature, it was incredibly hot in an instant.

It was completely different from every hug he had embraced before, and even his soul trembled.

Guan Niang, I like it......

He was so impulsive that he almost told her that he liked her.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he suddenly remembered Zhang Qing, Zheng Ying and the others behind him, and when he caught a glimpse of their wide eyes, he woke up and stepped on the brakes.

Gu Guan: ???

Xie Ci let go of his hand, his eyelids were still red, and he wiped his eyes vigorously. He whispered, "Nothing."

"I'm thinking, we're about to leave Yunzhou."

Gu Wan took a step back, and stepped on the grass beside the ridge road

It was soft and soft, but the feeling of rotting had disappeared, and the morning light shrouded the two of them, and in the distance, the Yunzhou camp Jin Ge Iron Horse had already heard the rumbling sound of war drums.

yes, it's about to go to the other side.

Gu Wan looked back and smiled, she trotted two steps, turned over on the horse, and beckoned: "Then you don't want to go?" If a soldier is late, the face will be lost.

Her smiling face reflected the morning light, like the morning sun of dawn, brilliant for a moment.

She turned the horse's head, and drove the horse's hooves, and the wind blew the hem of her broken hair and clothes, and swept lightly. Xie Ci immediately turned on his horse and drove the horse up.

The two walked side by side, running to the distance of the golden iron horse. Xie Ci glanced sideways at Gu Guan, he pursed his lips and smiled, he was very lucky, along the way you.

The young man's pure emotions were surging and intertwined, overflowing, and he could hardly take his eyes off until Gu Wan looked into the distance and raised his whip. Excuse and run to follow.

Stepping on the morning light, one after the other, the wind passed.
