Hearing this name, Chu Mo couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhang Renjie's name is not widespread, he knows Zhang Renjie has only arrived in Hangzhou for a few days, specially rushed from the state capital, to help him clean up a mess in Pingxiang County, although he has a keen eye, brilliant mind, but I have never heard of a state capital envoy will do evil arts.

While Chu Mo was thinking about it, the coachman had the courage to approach the woman who was dead at the moment, looked at her, and said tremblingly: "This person ...... Did you really get up after you fell into the Gu?"

He Bai sighed, wiped his tears at night, and said to the two: "Gaffe, forgive me." This Gu demon is abnormal, ordinary people can't imagine it at all, and it still causes trouble for you. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, helped his wife up, and said, "Although it is still a step too late, I still have to find that master, eliminate the harm for my hometown, and expel that demon girl." ”

He Bai carried his wife on his back, and walked out of the door as he spoke, his steps struggling, and the floor creaked under the weight of two people.

The kind coachman hurriedly stepped forward and said to him, "Hey, do you need help, eh? What about Yang Ye last night? Why didn't he come?"

Chu Mo followed behind the coachman and said to him, "He should have left last night when the rain stopped, and I didn't see him." ”

He Bai listened, turned around, and said, "Let's stay, the trip can't be delayed." When I told you about my trivialities, I thought I was unhappy, and I didn't take it to heart. I don't want to involve more people in this matter, my village has become an ominous place. ”

He said in a dull voice, and walked out with his wife on his back.

The coachman sighed and said to Chu Mo: "It was so dark last night, and it was raining, why are there still people walking at night?" Boss, look ......?"

Chu Mo stretched out into his arms, took out a sign, and said, "You can hand this thing over to Brother He for me." At this point, I felt too strange and didn't have the ability to intervene. You handed him the sign and told him to go to the county government in Pingxiang County to find Zhang Renjie, and I happened to have some contact with him. ”

The coachman took it, nodded, and said, "Okay, boss, clean up in a while, and we'll be on the road." ”

Gu technique, this word Chu Mo had only heard of it in the Chu Palace when he was a child, and he still learned it from the mouth of the National Teacher. Gu art originated in the Yan Kingdom, and it was rumored that families practiced Gu in their heyday. In the past, Gu techniques were only domesticated by the locals to help them produce and live, but later, a number of harmful Gu techniques were studied one after another, and fell into the hands of some people with ulterior motives, harming the people. At that time, King Yan saw that the situation was a little uncontrollable, so he ordered a strict ban on practicing Gu, sealed the harmful Gu technique, and executed a large number of Gu masters. But those Gu techniques have not been cut off to this day, and in some little-known places, some Gu techniques are still circulating. Later, Gu Magic, Illusion, and Poison were listed as one of the three major evil arts by various countries, and they exterminated all those who practiced it, and now this word has faded out of people's field of vision, and he has not heard much about the rumors of Gu Magic.

Just looking at the woman's death, there was no trace, as if she was asleep, and the skin of her whole body became as immature as a newborn, which also made Chu Mo see the evil of these Gu techniques for the first time.

He packed his light luggage, and after an hour, got into the carriage with the coachman.

When he passed through the gate of Hangzhou, he looked out from the carriage and saw that the city gate was already overcrowded, and the people who wanted to enter the city were crowded together, and the noise was endless.

If Ouyang Mu sneaks into Hangzhou again on this trip, can Zhang Renjie handle it?

Chu Mo secretly thought in his heart that the carriage had stumbled into the official road to South Korea.

Qi country.

Xijingzhou.

In Xijing City, the shouts of killing have already resounded, and on the long official road, there are crowds.

From the east and west sides of the street, two camps were formed. The Qi army on the east side was dressed in armor and rode a high-headed horse, and the official road in his hand was glowing with cold light. On the west side, there are hundreds of topless people from the Western Regions, like street fights, walking towards the east with great momentum. They had all kinds of weapons, including swords, guns, clubs, and stones. Their skin was baked by the sun, red and shiny, and their strong chests were fearless in the face of the Qi army waiting on the opposite side. Their eyes were full of gunpowder, and they shared the same hatred, as if they wanted to tear the enemy on the other side to pieces.

A breeze mixed with yellow sand blew through the empty street between the two people, and the air was filled with suffocating oppression.

A tall soldier walked out of the crowd of the Qi army, glanced at the people from the Western Regions opposite with a solemn face, and said in a strong voice: "I am the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Praetorian Guard under His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, and the people who are picking quarrels and provoking troubles will disperse quickly, don't stop us from doing errands, otherwise they will all be dealt with according to Qi law, and they will be beheaded on the spot!"

The crowd in the Western Regions who blocked the street in black suppressed listened to the shouts of the commander, and there was a dead silence, and no one responded. They stopped in front of Qi Jun like this, without the slightest movement.

The commander was silent for a moment, the wind blowing through his robes under his armor. After a moment, he drew the knife from his waist, pointed forward, and said, "Whoever stands in the way, kill." ”

"Kill!"

In an instant, a heart-rending roar rang out from the streets all day long, and the sound of people and horses killing on both sides shook the sky. The dense crowd rushed to kill each other, and the people of the Western Regions picked up the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the Qi soldiers like crazy, their eyes full of fearlessness.

The two sides stabbed each other's flesh with sharp knives, splattering blood. The soldier straddled the horse's back and slashed downward, and the strong body of the Western Regions man stabbed the spear in his hand into the horse's belly, and with a piercing neigh, one by one the soldiers fell down and were hacked to death with knives.

The soldiers began to rush through the crowd, as if shepherds were whipping lambs, their knives flying up and down, whipping up a patch of flesh. The two sides were entangled and chaotic.

And at this moment, at the gate of Xijing, Lu Chuan had quietly approached, hiding behind a huge banyan tree, poking his head out to observe the movements inside.

At this moment, the city gate has been firmly sealed, and more than a dozen soldiers are guarding the city gate. Lu Chuan quietly listened to the sound coming from inside Xijing, and the sound of weapons colliding was endless. The soldier also noticed the situation in the city, and ran around nervously, and no one paid attention to him.

He bent down, his low figure making him look like an ordinary old man walking the streets. He turned his head and looked far away at the corner of the wall, where there was a dense thicket, unguarded.

After a while, he saw several figures coming out of the bushes. According to Lu Chuan's calculations, it should be one of the few little-known exits in Xijing.

Among those figures, Han Luyao was impressively in the ranks, and behind her was Shen Mengxi, who was trotting to follow last.

Shen Mengxi looked back and forth for a while, and while no one was paying attention, he threw the box in his hand in the bushes and followed quickly.

Lu Chuan waited quietly for a while, and only after Han Luyao and his party had gone away did he get up, walk through the bushes, and find the box. He opened the box on the spot, revealing an emerald green herb lying inside, and a yellowed piece of parchment beside it.

The parchment was the one he handed over to Shen Mengxi that night and instructed her to do the next task. And now, the plan is well underway.

He tucked the herbs into his bosom and turned away, walking like he was flying.

On the desolate Gobi Desert, Chu Liusheng sat alone behind a round stone, his head tilted half-dead, the scorching sun baking his throat.

"Why hasn't the old man come back yet......" Chu Liusheng muttered sweatingly.

At this time, a thin hand patted his shoulder, Chu Liusheng was so frightened that he sat aside, looked at the person who came, and shouted: "Lu Chuan, scare me to death, you." ”

Lu Chuan appeared on the other side of the stone and shouted, "You scared me to death, what are you yelling about." ”

Chu Liusheng stood up and said impatiently: "Why have you been in the thatched house for so long, I have drunk all the water, and there is at least half a day's journey from Xijing." ”

"Hey, when I was peeing just now, I found something good. Lu Chuan said to him, taking out the herb from his arms.

Chu Liusheng looked at it, covered his nose with disgust, and said, "What's the matter, are you urinating on it, a smell of urine." ”

"! Where does the smell of urine come from!" Lu Chuan scolded, "This is a priceless good thing, I dug it from the ground." ”

After hearing this, Chu Liusheng stepped forward, carefully glanced at the herbs in Lu Chuan's hand, and said confusedly: "I don't see, what kind of grass is this, for you to use for aphrodisiac?"

Lu Chuan pushed him hard and said, "What the hell, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth." I'll tell you, it's for disguise!"

"Yi Rong, you still know how to disguise yourself?" Chu Mo asked him suspiciously.

"Not really. Lu Chuan's face was a little proud, and he stuffed the herb back into his arms, and said, "It's hard to buy the materials for disfigurement now, and a herb can be auctioned for tens of thousands of taels of gold." Let's go......"

"How many thousand taels?" When Chu Mo heard this, he looked at him with wide eyes, and stammered, "We...... Rich!"

Lu Chuan gave him a blank look, and said as he walked forward, "You are going to drill the money in your eyes, wait, I will definitely give you a good look this time." ”

"Hey!" Chu Mo shouted at his back, "You haven't made it clear yet, this is true or false, are you fooling me again?"

"I don't go to Xijing, change the road temporarily, and go directly to Chaozhou. Lu Chuan said to him without looking back.

Chang'an City.

Qi Wangfu.

"Newspaper—"

One of the guards shouted loudly and trotted from outside the palace to the gate of the palace, sweating profusely.

A woman stood at the door of the hall, stopped him, and asked, "What's wrong, it's so urgent, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is freshening up, and he can't go in now." ”

The guard stepped up the white jade steps outside the hall in three steps and two steps, knelt on the ground, and said to the woman breathlessly: "Lady...... Too grandma, little ...... I have something important to tell Your Highness. ”

The woman frowned, put her hands in front of her, and asked, "Who called you?"

The guard raised his head, squinted his eyes, and gasped, "Yes...... Mr. Gao...... Xijing ...... The people of the Western Regions in Xijingli...... Rebellion!"
