Zhuo Yan actually didn't know why Gu Xiaomeng liked to play with someone like him who was old enough to be her father. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info maybe she is just trying to be fresh - she doesn't have a chance to go out, and the people she sees are not people she doesn't want to see again since she was a child. She always rejoices in a stranger.

But Tuoba Gu doesn't see it that way.

In his opinion, there should be a tacit understanding between smart people, just like Gu Xiaomeng and Zhuo Yan. The first time she saw him, she had to be attracted to him.

Although Zhuo Yan had an ordinary appearance, Gu Xiaomeng must have seen at a glance that he had something that these people around him had never had.

Having said that, Zhuo Yan is so smart, can't she see it?

Could it really be what he said - I only make money and don't lose - so I take it all?

------------

It is said that it is a hot summer, but when the season is calculated, the beginning of autumn is not a few days, but the autumn and summer are still the same, which makes people really feel that the summer is not over.

Tuoba Gu came to Xia Zheng's residence three days later as promised.

If you still insist on going back, I will not stop you. Tuoba lonely road. But...... I'm afraid Dr. Xie won't be able to go with you.

He had already received a letter from Ling Li yesterday, mentioning that the previous three Ouchi masters had all been intercepted and killed on the way, so he was relieved, and Xia Zheng was going to leave at this moment, so it should not be a big deal.

Out of the way. Xia Zheng said. I've been bothering for so long......

Moreover, I really can't send anyone to send you back to Lin'an. Tuoba Gu interrupted. So I'll send you one more paragraph.

If you're busy, you're ......

Busy and busy, but when I left Lin'an that day, you also sent him off. Tuoba lonely road. Now that you are sick in both eyes, I will give you back tenfold - and I will give you at least sixty miles if you have sent me six miles outside the city.

He didn't wait for Xia Zheng to answer, so he patted him on the shoulder. So it's settled. Tell me when you leave.

Xia Zheng hesitated slightly, then stopped shirking, nodded and said, I accept your affection.

His departure was three days later. Xia Zheng reorganized his manpower, a total of more than ten people, plus Tuoba Gu, and the group headed east.

I don't know whether it should be a summer or autumn afternoon, and the heat has invaded Qinglong Valley again. Just two days ago, Cheng Fangyu finally finished writing the results of the Blue Dragon Sect's "conquest" of Vermilion Bird Villa and read it out at the Blue Dragon Sect Conference. Zhuo Yan, Bai Shuang, and Lin Zhi came to Qinglong Valley as prisoners in this declaration - one of them read that Bai Shuang was bound by Cheng Zuo's envoy, and Zhuo Yan and Lin Zhi were restrained by Gu You's pioneer. This is also the truth, but most people don't know that Bai Shuang lived in Cheng's house to facilitate Guan Xiu's healing for her, and Zhuo Yan and Lin Zhi borrowed it because of Gu Shizhong's invitation.

Who told you that you must not be willing to reveal your identity now? Tuoba Gu asked Zhuo Yan in private. In that case, you can only continue to be a prisoner until a few months later, when I will announce it. I'm just afraid that at that time, no one in the Blue Dragon Sect will admit you.

-----------

On this day, when Lin Zhi lay down to take a nap, Zhuo Yan was a little bored and began to play with the Zuo Pioneer Token that Tuoba Gu had handed over to him for safekeeping. The identity of the captive cannot leave the Qinglong Valley, unless he is accompanied by someone from Gu Shizhong's family. Otherwise, he really wanted to take advantage of Tuoba Gu's absence in the past two days to see the Tiandu that was close at hand-Zhang Gongchang.

He lazy for a moment, then stood up and moved his muscles. The injury had healed much faster, and at least he didn't have to be cautious all the time.

For some reason, it was unusually quiet this afternoon. He walked out of the yard. It seems that because everyone heard that Tuoba Gu went to send Xia Zheng early this morning, and he would not be in the valley for a day or two, so they all took leave. Even Gu Xiaomeng, who would stop him on weekdays in the afternoon, would talk for at least half an hour, and today he also went to the market by himself with a few familiar girls.

It's just that when I looked up, I suddenly saw the housekeeper Gu Jiamo hurrying past the gate of the inclined garden. He didn't care, but when Gu Jiamo returned from the garden gate again, he felt a little strange.

Gu Jiamo looked up and saw him. As a captive from Suzaku Villa, and a murderer with a great connection with Gu Xiaochen's death, Zhuo Yan was not popular in the Gu family - it should be said that if Gu Shizhong hadn't restrained everyone, he might have been stoned to death by everyone. Of course, Gu Xiaomeng is not among them.

However, when Gu Jiamo saw him at this moment, he trotted up like a savior, and said, Zhuo Gongzi, have you ever seen the master?

Didn't see it. Zhuo Yan noticed his visibly confused expression. What's wrong?

Gu Jiamo held a letter in his hand, and his face was difficult to see. I don't think it's unusual for someone to send this letter to my lord......

Zhuo Yan caught a glimpse of the envelope without a single handwriting. What's out of the ordinary?

Uh--the letter came in from out of the valley and passed into my hand. Gu Jiamo said. It is said that he went away without seeing the messenger, and left a message saying, either to the lord or to the ...... You.

Give it to me?Zhuo Yan's brows furrowed. Outside the Qinglong Valley, does anyone know that I am in the Gu family?

He immediately thought of a very bad possibility and stretched out his hand. Give me the letter.

Gu Jiamo seemed to be reluctant, but he still had to hand over the letter to Zhuo Yan.

Zhuo Yan Zhanxin, in the letter, there are only shocking three lines.

"Gu Xiaomeng is in my hands. "If you want her life, take Lin Zhi to Qiwan Village to meet her. ”

"Well-known is not. ”

-- Well-known is not available.

Zhuo Yan subconsciously pinched the letter, and the soft paper crumpled into his palm as if it had melted. This made Gu Jiamo, who had not yet had time to see his full appearance, a clever man, and said busily, what's going on?

Zhuo Yan did not answer. He just said, I'm going to leave Qinglong Valley for a trip, wait for you to tell the person at the door, let me out.

Gu Jiamo sighed softly and said, but what the hell is ......

Zhuo Yan had already turned around and walked inside. His sidearm blades had long been lost, and at this moment, he picked up two pieces in the Gu family's treasury.

Don't talk about this letter to anyone for the time being, do you know? Zhuo Yan added another sentence to Gu Jiamo, who didn't know why.

Gu Jiamo realized that something seemed to be wrong, and he had a faint premonition, swallowed his saliva, and agreed.

-----

-- Well-known is not available. If this letter is true, then there is no one else except Murong Xun. Murong Xun, he came here so quickly? Could it be that so many people in Mingyue Villa failed to contain him? Or did he escape with his cunning? Now he really had the courage to come directly to the door-could it be that he had found a new backer?

Qiwan Village is a small village on the way out of Qinglong Valley to a nearby town. Murong Xun must have found out that Tuoba Gu had not been in the valley for the past two days, so he specially chose this time to provoke. Gu Xiaomeng is a child, and when he falls into his hands, he naturally reports the names of the two closest people - Gu Shizhong, and he Zhuo Yan.

Probably because Lin Zhi was too threatening to him when he fell into the hands of others, so he had to take this risk and ask her back first?

It's a pity that Zhuo Yan will of course not take Lin Zhi to the appointment.

The sun was scorching, and on the way to Qiwan Village, there was only white daylight, but it was quietly empty.

The road gradually narrowed, and soon it was squeezed into a sheep intestine path by the trees on both sides. The shade of the trees casts, and while it is cool, it is a little stuffy.

Suddenly there was a low hiss at the end of the trail. The little girl shouted in a dumb voice, and there was panic, joy, and surprise in her voice.

Zhuo Yan stopped. He could already see the two people standing at the end of the road, with her back to her—Gu Xiaomeng—she was really good—and the plotter with her hands behind her back—he hesitated—but it wasn't Murong Xun.

Suddenly, the sword light was startled, and from the leaves on the left and right sides, two poisonous snake-like cold rays flashed out, and they suddenly shot towards Zhuo Yan in the middle of the road. Zhuo Yan held the hand of the blade. The one who came out of the sheath was also the sword - he was carrying the sword.

Ding Ding two bodies, the snake-like sword light retracted, and then attacked extremely quickly.

At this moment, Zhuo Yan had already determined the identities of these two people - the killers, undoubtedly which killer organization was hired by someone to appear here for the guests. Are you all from heaven?" he couldn't help but ask.

No one answered.

These two people missed a single blow, and they were obviously far from Zhuo Yan's opponents. He sneered in his heart, and the long sword in his hand had completely suppressed his opponent. Seeing that he couldn't take him, the third person abandoned Gu Xiaomeng and stepped forward with his sword. Zhuo Yan took the time to glance at the little girl, and saw that she was on the ground, as if she had been pointed.

This man is also a killer. Zhuo Yan said in her heart. The three swordsmen actually cooperated very well, and it was much more difficult to deal with than two swords.

Is this a welcome gift from Murong Xun's reunion after a long absence? Zhuo Yan sighed helplessly, his body suddenly rose, and he hung upside down from the air, and the blade of the sword easily carved into the shoulder of one of them, and blood suddenly gushed out.

The man screamed and retreated. Zhuo Yan landed, and in a leap, he had already quickly divided a sword to the left and right.

I learned this style from your "senior brother". He laughed. You've always known Lingli, right?

While speaking, the remaining two people had been hit by swords in their wrists, and both swords landed at the same time, their faces changed greatly, knowing that their martial arts were not as good as his, and they did not dare to fight, so they both strangled the painful wound with their left hands and fled towards the forest.

Zhuo Yan put away his sword and walked forward. The place where Gu Xiaomeng was abandoned by the killer was very close to the entrance of the village. The sun was shining directly on her back, but she was lying on her back, silent.

Laughing dreams. Zhuo Yan shouted her name, stepped forward quickly, and abandoned her sword to help her. You okay?

Gu Xiaomeng's delicate and petite body rolled softly into his arms, like a kitten that had been turned over, and opened his eyes. Under this sun, such a smooth rescue should actually be regarded as the most beautiful thing, except for ......

Apart from...... The moment Gu Xiaomeng turned around, the dagger in his hand brought out a dazzling light.

A "sting" sound. She moved too fast, and this was the sound that the dagger made when it was pulled out of Zhuo Yan's body.

Zhuo Yan's body fell, her left hand was supported on the ground, and her right hand had already covered the wound. Laughing Dreams...... He looked at her in disbelief. Gu Xiaomeng obviously wanted to prevent him from making a sudden move, and after winning the blow, he quickly stepped back a few feet, and jumped up again. Seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of fighting back, he was a little relieved, bit his lip and said, You big villain who killed my brother!

Zhuo Yan had already heard the voices of people coming out of the surrounding woods. These men came from afar and surrounded themselves. He knew it was just a trap - a trap that couldn't have been simpler. Yes, why should I believe that Gu Xiaomeng, a little girl I just met, would really have such a deep affection for me? Why do I think that Gu Shizhong can really forgive me for killing my son because I am a descendant of the Shan family?

I was ...... Hopefully, today's events are just a prank on your part. He smiled bitterly, and his eyes only looked at Gu Xiaomeng in front of him.

There seems to be something else in that. Gu Xiaomeng was seen by him and took two steps back, calmed down, and said loudly, What you say is useless! Do you know how much my eldest brother loves me? Do you know how much I miss him? He is such a good person, and he was killed by you and the man named Murong Xun! Dad has already said that you are scheming, and we will just return it today and avenge my eldest brother!

Zhuo Yan saw that her eyes were already covered with mist, and sighed, wanting to wait for the sword to be propped up. The people around him saw him touch the blade, and the sound of swords was heard—apparently all of them had drawn their swords and prepared them.

No wonder there is no one at home today. Zhuo Yan couldn't stand up, so she had to smile bitterly. The dagger pierced into his ribs, and he felt all the blood in his heart flow outward. He just turned his body with difficulty and faced the Gu family behind him. Among them, of course, includes Gu Shizhong.

Since you've always wanted to kill me, why spend so much time and make so much trouble. He coughed and stared at Gu Shizhong. I gave you a chance and said that if you wanted my life, I would never fight back. You were ......

Hmph! In front of the sect leader, you know that I can't do it!" Gu Shizhong said angrily. Even if you don't fight back, won't he stop it?

So ...... you today? Halfway through Zhuo Yan's speech, she understood more in her heart, but unfortunately she was unable to continue.

Everyone today will know that you were called out by a letter and died at the hands of Murong Xun and the killers he hired. Gu Shizhong said. When they arrive, they will only be able to pick up one of your corpses!

I can die!" Zhuo Yan suddenly interrupted him sharply. But why did you want Xiaomeng to do this? Why did you use it to the extent of hiring a killer? Gu Shizhong, I don't call you uncle anymore today, not because you want to kill me, but because-- I didn't see you right at all!

I, Gu Shizhong, have a clear conscience! I'm just avenging my only son, and Xiaomeng is also avenging her own big brother. This method was originally planned by her -- no matter how powerful you are, there are dozens of people in my Gu family, and you will never want to escape in the end! The Lin Zhi you brought is not a good person. Fortunately, the sect leader is not so partial to her, and when you die, I will use her to lure Murong Xun out, and I will kill him after all to avenge Xiaochen!

Zhuo Yan sighed. You want revenge, I have nothing to say. I just want to ask you, can we even settle it at this moment?

You can be evened out when you die!" Gu Shizhong said loudly. For the sake of the friendship of the old pioneer, I will allow you to say a few more last words!

People are dead, what do you have to say? Zhuo Yan said, turning her head and glancing at Gu Xiaomeng. The latter was looking at him with a look of obvious disgust.

You say, why was I deceived by a little girl like you? He seemed to laugh and sigh. There is really no good thing in the world to "only make money and not lose money......

Don't talk nonsense, if you don't have anything to say, you will die! Gu Shizhong's long sword was slashed off in the face.

Zhuo Yan turned over and dodged, half standing and half kneeling, still covering the wound. Gu Shizhong didn't expect him to resist, he was a little surprised, and with a wave of his hand, everyone wanted to use their swords together.

At the moment when everyone's attention was on Zhuo Yan, they suddenly only heard Gu Xiaomeng's scream. When everyone heard this, they turned around, only to see that Gu Xiaomeng was already dozens of steps away, with a not so light hand on his neck.

Looking up at the hand, the owner of the hand is Yu Rui.

Outside the Vermilion Bird Villa, Yu Rui, the ghost envoy of the Vermilion Bird Villa and the owner of the Heavenly Metropolis, who was quietly let go by Qu An!?

You ......! Gu Shizhong took two steps. Last time I let you escape, you actually ......

There will be such a big business in the sky, why don't you notify me first? Yu Rui smiled and pointed at Zhuo Yan. Rest assured, I'm not in the same league as him.

Save...... Save me, Daddy. Of course, Gu Xiaomeng knew that it was impossible to count on Zhuo Yan at this moment, so she could only ask her father for help, and her panic was already overflowing. Of course, Zhuo Yan also admitted that she performed very well in the previous time, and it was almost difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake this time.

He changed his left hand to cover the wound, and at some point there was a long knife in his right hand, pointing diagonally forward.

Ghost envoy, what's the point of bullying a little girl, it's better to let her go. His voice didn't tremble when he was hurt.

Gu Shizhong's heart was full of sorrow. If he was injured and shot at Xiaomeng, how could Xiaomeng stop it?

Gu Xiaomeng also glanced at his knife several times. She really didn't expect Zhuo Yan to be like this, and she was speechless for a while.

That's not going to work. Yu Rui sneered. Murong Gongzi specially explained and asked me to get Miss Lin back. Why don't you send Miss Lin over?

Gu Shizhong was about to agree, but Zhuo Yan had already grabbed the way, then you had caught the wrong person. This little girl is insignificant to the Qinglong Sect, even if you catch her, you won't be able to exchange for Lin Zhi.

Oh, if I'm not mistaken, she should be Gu Youxian's beloved daughter, how can she be said to be insignificant?

Gu Youxian's beloved daughter--What is it to the Qinglong Sect Master?Zhuo Yan said. The Blue Dragon Sect is in charge of Tuoba Gu, not Gu Shizhong.

Yu Rui smiled. I have never dared to disbelieve the words of the Star Envoy. Since you say so, there must be a better way?

It's not a better way, it's just -- there are better hostage candidates right now.

When Gu Shizhong and the others heard this, they subconsciously looked at each other. I don't know who Zhuo Yan is talking about. The daughter of the Right Pioneer is probably indeed insignificant to the Blue Dragon Sect Master, but if it is the Right Pioneer himself, it is different.

Oh? The meaning of the Star Messenger is......

I mean I'm your hostage. Zhuo Yan said.

Yu Rui was slightly stunned, and then burst out laughing. Star Envoy, Star Envoy, I thought you would say something--strange, you were captured by the Blue Dragon Sect, why should the Blue Dragon Sect Leader care about your life and whereabouts?

There's one thing you don't know. Zhuo Yan said, you ......

When he said this, his breath was a little unstoppable, his throat was sweet, his eyes were black, and he couldn't help biting his lip fiercely. Consciousness was about to be lost in a trance, and he vaguely heard Yu Rui laughing again, The star envoy is dying, so there is no need to make up some lies, this is for you, and ......

The words paused suddenly. Zhuo Yan, who was speechless, had already taken out something from his arms.

Zhuo Yan took a breath, endured the severe pain, and said, Oh, this is the Qinglong Left Pioneer Token, which was brought by Shan Swift Wind at the beginning, you should recognize it.

You...... What does it mean? Yu Rui looked at the token in Zhuo Yan's blood-stained hand, which was mostly soaked in blood, and the viscous liquid was still slowly dripping down.

You can't figure out why I was seriously injured and fell into the hands of Tuoba Gu, but I still haven't died today.

I'm wondering - it seems like he doesn't want to kill you at all. Yu Rui said, a change of thought. Could it be that he-

That's right, he talked to me about a condition, and I am now his Qinglong Left Pioneer. My value is slightly greater than that of a little sister that the Blue Dragon Sect Leader doesn't recognize?

Yu Rui's expression was a little uncertain. Show me. He stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhuo Yan to throw the token over. Zhuo Yan raised his hand—but the token was thrown back. Gu Shizhong copied it with his hand, just caught it, and was slightly stunned, not knowing Zhuo Yan's intentions.

The token can't be given to you, otherwise how can Gu Xianfeng go back to report the news. Zhuo Yan smiled slightly.

Did you really take refuge in the Blue Dragon Sect?

And this knife, do you recognize it? Zhuo Yan's hand holding the knife did not move. It's the former Qinglong Left Pioneer Shan Swift Wind - you should recognize it too, right?

Gu Shizhong was also slightly surprised. What he was carrying was a knife from a single wind?

This is also what Tuoba Gu gave me. Zhuo Yan said. If you still don't believe......

I don't care if I believe it or not, but I know that Lord Star Envoy is unwilling to sacrifice yourself for others, so if you want to change hostages, I don't dare!

Zhuo Yan took a deep breath. I'm just giving you a chance. I, Zhuo Yan, have always been a lobbyist, but if I don't move, I have to do it.

said that it was too late, and Yu Rui only felt that something flashed, and he had firmly locked his wrist. His heart was cold, he didn't expect Zhuo Yan to still be able to shoot the golden wire saw in the past, how dare he risk dropping a hand, he heard Zhuo Yan scream, let go! Hurriedly let go of Gu Xiaomeng. Gu Xiaomeng's reaction was not slow, and when he got this opportunity, he ran away. Zhuo Yan took advantage of this time to take a few steps forward. Yu Rui felt a loosening of his wrist, and looked down to see where the golden wire saw was, which was clearly just a belt to tie his hair.

You...... When he saw that Zhuo Yan's hair had suddenly fallen down, he understood in his heart, and sighed that he knew too much about him, but he was fooled. Gu Xiaomeng had already run past Zhuo Yan's side. Gu Shizhong and the others wanted to come forward to pick her up, but suddenly saw Zhuo Yan gently put one hand down, and was about to put it on Gu Xiaomeng's shoulder.

This ride can be described as a soul-stirring distraction. Gu Shizhong exclaimed in shock, Don't hurt my daughter! Gu Xiaomeng's body stiffened, how could he dodge Zhuo Yan's movements, this hand was put down, and she was finally left in the local area. (To be continued.) )
