"Three...... Third brother. ā
The girl's voice was crisp and pleasant, but the scruffy man with a scruffy beard in front of her shook his head. The sloppy man shook his head and ignored the girl's complaining eyes, but raised his head and looked at the guards who were still checking the pedestrians from a distance, as well as the guards with cold faces. Jiang Ningcheng didn't know when it began, and the security was so strict that a beggar had to find out his identity. The Jiangning city wall is not high in the eyes of sloppy men, but if you want to enter the city, it is difficult for this man who only dares to hide in the distance and stare at the city gate.
"Da Shao, I really can't learn......"
The girl pouted, her watery eyes were full of grievances, and the sloppy man could only sigh, and his heart was even more irritable.
This sloppy man and girl are Situ Song and Xiao Qi.
This sloppy man with a dusty face and long hair curled up covering his entire face will not be reminiscent of the "first son of Jiangning" who has been missing for a long time and his life and death are unknown. And Situ Song also knows very well that now that the Chu family has probably controlled Jiangning Wulin, once he, the "eldest son of the Situ family", appears, he is afraid that he will encounter some "accidents" without waiting for his identity to be confirmed.
But for the sake of one person, Situ Song couldn't help but return to Jiangning.
Situ Bai, Situ Song's only relative in the world, and also the younger brother of a mother who almost killed Situ Song, should still be alive now.
Although Situ Bai is dead in Sikong Gukou, and there is such a legend in the entire rivers and lakes, Situ Song firmly believes that Situ Bai should still be alive. As long as Situ Song does not appear in the rivers and lakes for a day, the remnants of the Situ family in Jiangnan still exist, and Situ Bai cannot die.
The last surname of the Situ family is "Situ", which is the bargaining chip in the hands of the Chu family and Sikong Gu, and they must not destroy the Great Wall. If Situ Bai dies, Situ Song will reappear in the rivers and lakes and make Jiangning's "truth" public, which is not a good thing for the Chu family and Sikong Gu.
Of course, the only reason why Situ Bai made this judgment was only one basis - they released the news that "Situ Bai is still alive".
However, among the gossip circulating near Jiangning, Situ Bai was only seriously injured, and although his life was hanging by a thread, it could still be said that he was still alive. Situ Song judged that Situ Bai was a bait, a bait to catch his big fish. In order to successfully catch his fish, the Chu family and Sikong Gu did not hesitate to give the remnants of the Situ family a little hope, so that they would have the confidence to resist, and let the news of the unknown truth spread throughout Jiangnan.
Although Situ Song also had doubts about this news, a peculiar feeling told him from the bottom of his heart that this news might be true, and if he, a big fish, didn't touch the bait again, maybe the fisherman would give up fishing.
What it means for a fisherman to give up fishing, Situ Song couldn't imagine.
"Xiao Qi, it's better to ......"
"No!" Xiao Qi's coquettish appearance like a child was extremely resolute in Situ Song's eyes, especially the eyes with a hazy mist, which made Situ Song very helpless. I thought that if Xiao Qi hadn't been by his side to take care of him for the past two months, maybe Situ Song would have starved to death on that barren mountain, of course, it was also possible that he acted without permission and died of a broken wound.
It was the same before going down the mountain, after Xiao Qi broke the pot for cooking rice by mistake, the two had to use a teapot to cook in a hungry stomach, and the final cooked thing was half-cooked, but Xiao Qi had no complaints, but was still a little happy, after all, he was finally able to fill his stomach, and he didn't have to drink water all day to quench his hunger.
After waiting for a few days, until Situ Song did not have to walk on crutches and the wound was basically healed, the two of them went down the mountain under the threat of poisonous snakes and beasts. Situ Song vaguely remembered that when the tiger let out a roar, before he was scared away by the long sword in his hand, Xiao Qi was panicked, but he was still clutching his sleeve.
At that time, Xiao Qi's eyes seemed to reveal this determination, which may be called ...... Death as home?
"Entering the city is a life-and-death. ā
This sentence has been repeated countless times, and Situ Song feels that he has to say this sentence every half an hour on average.
Since Situ Song tried to climb over the city wall last night and sneak into the city, but his whereabouts were exposed, and he finally had to flee in the wilderness, Situ Song completely dispelled the idea of taking Xiao Qi into the city together.
After all, if it weren't for Xiao Qi's pain last night because the hemp rope was too hard, Situ Song would not have been discovered by the guards.
Of course, now that I think about it, Xiao Qi's coquettish cry may have saved his life, seeing the fast catch that came when he heard the wind, and the guards who poured arrows into the darkness, maybe Jiangning at night was even more unsafe.
"Ah Bai may really be alive. ā
Situ Song had to comfort himself like this, otherwise he couldn't explain why these trappers and guards reacted so quickly, as if they had been prepared for it.
After all, in order not to reveal his whereabouts, Situ Song didn't even have contact with the remnants of the Situ family in Jiangnan, who knows if they were bought by the Chu family or Sikong Gu. In fact, Situ Song also escaped because of this.
When Sikong Gu left Jiangning to go to Yang Feiqiu's appointment, Chu Zhongcheng suggested that Chu Fan announce that he had set up a net, because Chu Zhongcheng felt that Sikong Gu had left, and Situ Song might take this opportunity to rob the prison and rescue his own brother who had been howling all day and was almost losing his mind. As for the news about Situ Bai, Chu Zhongcheng also secretly released it to the remnants of the Situ family in Jiangnan.
In Chu Zhongcheng's speculation, after Situ Song attacked his party that night and missed, he should hide in these Jiangnan martial arts forces that the Situ family once had kindness to him, as long as the news of "Situ Baishang is alive" is released to them, it will naturally lead to Situ Lou, a first-class master ranked thirtieth in the Who's Friends.
"Nine deaths and one life are also going. Xiao Qi said firmly, "I am your sister, if I am found, I will say that I was killed at home, and I went to the city to join my relatives......"
"They're not that stupid. Situ Song smiled bitterly, it was really difficult for this set of rhetoric not to arouse suspicion. What's more, when a sister calls her brother, she will have a pair of respect that only subordinates have? Although Xiao Qi is "neither big nor small" in Situ Song's brothers on weekdays, it is also because Situ Song takes care of him and indulges him a little. After all, Xiao Qi still regards the Situ Song brothers as "masters", and now he suddenly has to change roles, which is not so simple for Xiao Qi.
After thinking for a while, Situ Song nodded and said, "Let's go." ā
Xiao Qi was slightly stunned, looked at the heavily guarded city gate, showed some hesitation on his face, and hesitated: "Let me practice again......
"No need, you follow me, don't be too intimate, don't deliberately ignore me, just keep your normal appearance. ā
Situ Song already had a calculation in his heart, this Jiang Ning was dangerous, and he couldn't take Xiao Qi in anyway, but his whereabouts had been exposed last night, and he was ready to come to the Chu family and Sikong Gu...... (To be continued.) )
