Chapter 125: Bad News
Gu Xue looked at her mother puzzled: "Mother, what do you mean by this?
Mrs. Gu had her own considerations, and she said with a solemn face: "Li Gongzi is a dragon and phoenix among people, he must have a great background, you only see the scenery of him robbing the town, but you don't know why Li Gongzi appeared here alone." ”
"How can you know about the danger on him?" Mrs. Gu was also concerned about the safety of her daughter, "If you are implicated, it is not in vain that you lose your life." ”
“......”
Gu Xue was speechless for a while, what her mother said was the truth, and the true identity of her son was Yanguan Lieyang. Many important matters have already been clearly stated.
If you stay by Childe's side, you may be persecuted by all forces.
The little maid pondered for a long time, but after all, she was still helpless: "What my mother said is right, but the son bought his daughter with a lot of money, and he is as kind to the Gu family as a mountain, so what if he loses his life?"
In the final analysis, the original Gu Sanmei no longer exists. Gu Xue's fate is not something that Mrs. Gu can control, no matter how much she worries, her daughter has been sold to someone else.
That night, when the mother and daughter talked a lot at home, they also went to the town to look at the lanterns, and they were very happy to be able to spend the Lantern Festival like this.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Gu hurried home, and Gu Xue hired a carriage to send her - the fare of dozens of copper coins was just a piece of cake for Gu Xue.
I once thought of catching the market in the town, and I had to walk for half a day.
Mrs. Gu saw that her daughter was fine, so she didn't think too much, and the mother and daughter said goodbye in tears at the west entrance of the town.
——
"Mother is really, why did you tell me those words for no reason......" Gu Xue sent her mother away, muttering in her heart, "Then Liu Jianlong is not at ease to learn art, and he thinks about some messy things, what should I do?"
"Brother Yue has just entered the Valley of Robbery, and I don't know when I will be able to return. The Lantern Festival has passed, and the son still has no news, alas......"
Gu Xue thought about it to no avail, so she decided to wait at home with peace of mind. Take care of everything in Yueyang Tower, so as to live up to the son!
Sending off her mother and going to the market to buy vegetables, Gu Xue returned to Yueyang Tower, Xu Yan, Tang Yu, and Liu Jianlong completed the training of some projects and were drinking tea and resting.
Gu Xue is wearing a light pink cloth dress today, which is very youthful and charming.
When a few young men saw it, their hearts were fluttering, and no matter how they concealed it, they couldn't cover the burning gaze in their eyes.
Liu Jianlong knew that she was going to see off her mother, so he took the initiative to help pick up the vegetable basket, and asked with concern: "Mrs. Gu is gone, don't worry, the weather is good today, and I will be home in more than an hour." ”
Gu Xue still had tears in the corners of her eyes, and she nodded, not much interested.
Liu Jianlong didn't entangle, and continued to train after a short break with Xu Yan and Tang Yu. The days of hard work always fly by, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival gradually dissipates, the spring flowers around the town are blooming, and many of the spirit slaying teams that have entered the valley have returned.
——
At the end of the first month, it rained in the spring. There was a hurried knock on the door outside Yueyang Tower, and a middle-aged man with a hoarse voice shouted outside the door: "Third sister, third sister?"
Gu Xue heard the noise, and hurriedly came out to open the door, only to find that the person who came was actually her father: "Dad, why are you here?"
Lao Gu was panting, although he was wearing a robe, the wind and rain outside were very urgent, and he was almost soaked all over his body. He took off his coat under the eaves, and was stunned when he saw Gu Xue, and when he was sure that the bright and lovely little maid in front of him was his own daughter, Old Gu Chang exhaled a long breath.
There was guilt, solemnity, and incomprehensible anger in his eyes: "Your mother has been here for several days, why haven't you come home yet?"
"Hey?" Gu Xue was stunned, she was about to welcome her father into the house to drink a cup of hot tea, and her heart jumped violently, "My mother only stayed with me for one night, and I hired a carriage to send her back early in the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month." ”
Gu Xue didn't have much experience, so she didn't check with the coachman on the same day whether her mother had arrived.
“......”
Lao Gu knows her mother-in-law very well, and guesses that she will not be greedy for enjoyment, hiding from her daughter and not going home. Hearing Gu Xue's words, the anger in her eyes dissipated, and she turned into a thick worry: "Which carriage did you hire?"
"This ......" Gu Xue had an ominous premonition, her eyelids jumped, as if a bleak chill jumped up her back, making a cold sweat break out on her smooth forehead, "The carriage of the Zhenxi Zhou family that was hired." ”
Lao Gu grabbed his coat again, and hot air jumped between his teeth: "Let's go, go and ask!"
It was about her mother's comfort, how dare Gu Xue be late, she hurriedly went to the backyard to explain a few words, and then held an umbrella and went out with her father. hurriedly stepped on the wet street and rushed to Zhou's house in the west of the town to ask, but found Zhou Hai, the coachman of the day.
Zhou Hai looked like a sincere middle-aged man, and he was also taken aback when he saw Gu Xue: "Gujia Village can't enter the carriage, I sent Mrs. Gu to the entrance of Gujia Village, and I watched her walk in with my own eyes." Because I had to run some other goods, I was busy forgetting about it, so I didn't tell Miss Gu in time. ”
Gujia Village is in a bamboo forest in the mountains at the western foot of the valley, with a single path, and you can get home a few steps after entering the village.
"How is it possible?" Lao Gu was very anxious, "I have inquired about the whole village, but no one has seen her come back!"
Zhou Hai looked dazed, shook his head and said: "My Zhou family is a runner and a cargo, all of them have a good reputation, I, Zhou Hai, swear to the sky, if there is half a lie, let my legs be broken and I will be shot to death by random arrows!"
When others heard him swear a poisonous oath, they also believed a little more, but they didn't understand what happened that day.
"I also bought a few brocades for my mother, and I wanted to make clothes for my father and eldest brother and second brother. Gu Xue frowned, trying to recall the details of the day, "My mother has so many things, it's impossible to go somewhere else." ”
Zhou Hai nodded and said: "On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Gu was in a very good mood, chatting with me all the way, and wanted to go back to make new clothes for her family with joy - hey, why is there no one left?"
Several confrontations were fruitless, and Zhou Hai's statement did not seem to be a lie, and finally decided to report the matter to the government.
General Cheng Yu has a close relationship with Lieyang, so he naturally cares about it. Hearing that Gu Xue's mother was missing, he immediately sent several groups of people to investigate.
Others only said that it was a simple case of disappearance, but the old general Cheng Yu was vigilant in his heart - could it be that someone couldn't bear it and finally wanted to take action in the town?
Don't dare to move Yueyang Tower directly, just take Gu Xue's relatives under the knife?
Gu Xue's family are ordinary people, and they don't have any ability to resist at all, if Lieyang returns, and learns that Gu Xue is involved, most of them will mess with themselves!
Cheng Yu knows very well that Yanguan Lieyang is a man who attaches great importance to friendship, and the soldiers under his command and the people in the house are all like relatives and friends.
What's more, Gu Xue is of great significance to him!
——
There was an accident in the town, but Lieyang, the owner of Yueyang Tower, was still thousands of miles away in the southeast continent.
Lieyang, Lu Yu, and Yu Fei did not directly enter Dragon Hunting City, which was the base camp of the Wild Waves Army and the territory of the hussar general Gu Cheng.
If you are not careful, you may be caught in the urn.
At noon on the 14th day of the first lunar month, they disembarked in a small village thirty miles before Xunlong City. On the sixteenth day of the first month, I waited for Leng Qianshuang and General Bang Cheng who were chasing along the river.
Speaking of which, the five of them are all immortal, and when they meet again, they will inevitably sigh and sigh.
Leng Qianshuang's memory gradually recovered, although it was clear that the sun was not a "Xianggong", but the hazy closeness became more and more intense because of the separation of a few days.
"Okay now, I can't go back to the Blue Sky Tribulation Domain, so I'll follow you!" the Heavenly Tribulation Saintess looked very happy.
Lieyang asked with concern: "Still can't remember who knocked you off the Xuanmai Mountain Cliff?"
When Leng Qianshuang shook his head, Liu Mei wrinkled involuntarily, and seemed to have some headaches: "I remember most of what happened, but the identity of that person is really vague - the sect master is angry about my escape from marriage, and Tianyi Pavilion sent a master to hunt down, most of them are some senior of Tianyi Pavilion." ”
At that time, Zhao Qianfeng and the others had already gone to Xuanxing City, and there was no disciple of the same generation in the Heavenly Wing Pavilion who could threaten Leng Qianshuang.
"I'll talk about that later. Lie Yang had no clue, "When I found you at the bottom of the cliff, your master, the Leng Pavilion Master, arrived immediately - the Heavenly Tribulation Sword Qi in your body, thanks to his luck to force it out, otherwise your internal and external injuries would not have healed so quickly." ”
"Master, he ......"
Leng Qianshuang lowered her eyebrows and sighed lightly, her pretty face was a little sad, "Master, it's also very difficult." ”
The cruel rules of competition within the Heavenly Tribulation Sect determined that the Leng Pavilion Lord could not do more in this matter. For the time being, I can't tell the ins and outs, so I can only plan what is in front of me first.
"I'm going back to the Valley of Doom. Lieyang's words were firm, "I was in the military camp of the town of robbery, and I had the false title of a ranger general, and there was also a team of soul slaying - the Flame Army was stationed in the town of robbery, and it was commanded by my grandfather's old subordinate, General Cheng Yu. ”
"Cheng Yu?" General Bang Cheng muttered silently, he had also trained on the battlefield in the Wild Sand Land in his early years, so he naturally heard Cheng Yu's name.
In this regard, Lu Yu agreed: "There is a great chance of robbing the town!"
Leng Qianshuang and Yu Fei needless to say, they are all determined to follow the sun. Once you have decided on your destination, you need to determine your route. Xunlong City is located in the southeast of Chenguo, and the town is northwest of Chenguo.
To get to the town, you have to travel thousands of miles through the whole country, and you don't know how many bumps in it. Of course, to put it this way, with the presence of Lu Yu, purchasing materials, and making a few wind and snow wings, you can fly there!
Lu Yu's Yinfeng Sword Intent has a huge bonus to the entire flying team, and counting the Bang Cheng of the Cave Heaven Domain, their "road cutting" ability is quite strong!
Therefore, the trip that should have taken several days is only one or two days for Lieyang and his party.
When the five people drove the wind and snow wings, took the long wind to break thousands of miles, and rushed back to Yueyang Tower at great speed, it was only the twenty-first day of the first month.
In the drizzle, there were some sounds of fighting in Yueyang Tower, and when I went in, I realized that it was Xu Yan and Tang Yu who were fighting in the backyard. When they saw the scorching sun, they were all so surprised and delighted that they were so excited that they couldn't speak.
Lieyang just nodded and greeted, his eyes couldn't find the warm-hearted little maid left and right, and his mouth called: "Xue'er, Xue'er?
There has to be someone who pours tea and water, right?
Just guessing whether Gu Xue went out to buy vegetables, Xu Yancai said with a worried face: "Young man, Lord Yue entered the valley alone on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and has not returned yet. ”
Lieyang blinked, he knew Yue Shiyi's hole cards, he didn't worry much about him, and couldn't help but smile: "This kid, I can't bear it." Where's Cher?
"This ......" Xu Yan stammered a little, but he knew very well that this matter could not be concealed, so he simply told the truth, "Something happened to Miss Gu's family, I went back a few days ago, and Liu Jianlong was there to take care of it." ”
Lieyang's smile suddenly retracted, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a cold voice, "What's wrong?"
"Miss Gu, she ......"
"Her mother was killed. ”
