Three-one

You...... How are you doing...... Gu Shizhong's voice trembled. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Gu Xiaomeng faced him, and his whole body was trembling, but Zhuo Yan turned his back to him and didn't turn around.

I just want you to answer me one more question. Zhuo Yan said. Now between the two of us -- can it be considered a tie?

Only...... As long as you give me back the smiley dream, count it ...... It's all even...... Mutual...... We don't owe each other!

Zhuo Yan smiled miserably, this expression, of course, Gu Shizhong couldn't see it, only Yu Rui could see it.

Catch me back, and I'll ask you to deal with Murong Gongzi. His tone had become brisk, and he said to Yu Rui. It's great news for him to take me......

Suddenly, he seemed to have exhausted his strength, his subordinates loosened, Gu Xiaomeng slid slightly, escaped, and rushed towards Gu Shizhong, not even daring to look back.

It wasn't until she was hugged by Gu Shizhong that she peeked back. The man behind him was falling to the ground.

Profound...... Her words burst out of her mouth as if choked in her throat. Zhuo Yan lay prone on the ground, and for the first time she looked at the blood gushing from under him, she was shocked.

Yu Rui, who was facing each other, first laughed and said, Okay, we shouldn't have another conflict today. Zhuo Yan is dead or alive, I took it away anyway, and I bother you to tell the sect leader that it is best to hand over Lin Zhi - anyway, a woman is of no use to you, isn't it?

Gu Shizhong snorted heavily. Please also go back and tell Murong Xun that the revenge of killing his son will be avenged by him one day!

The scorching sun had died down at some point, and the whole forest was filled with a sense of slaughter. The wind blew and the branches on both sides trembled.

Gu Shizhong didn't know that for him, a bigger accident had not yet come.

He specially picked the two days when Tuoba was absent - as long as he was not there, then everything could only be hearsay. He didn't have any reason not to believe Gu Shizhong. Gu Shizhong only had to make a heartbroken appearance - regretting that he should not have taken care of his daughter well, so that she was greedy for fun but was captured by Murong Xun, which affected Zhuo Yan - all the responsibility lies with Murong Xun.

The imperfection was that he didn't expect the carefully arranged killer to inform the newly returned Yu Rui. Originally, the killer was just a prelude to Gu Xiaomeng's ambush. He also prepared more than a dozen people with the highest martial arts in the Gu family, just in case there was a change, but it was a pity that Yu Rui almost ruined all this.

But now after all, he can still report to Tuoba Gu as originally planned. Zhuo Yan's injuries today are already nine deaths, and Yu Rui is just an enemy, even if he has any words to say in the future, Tuoba Gu will not choose to believe Yu Rui instead of Gu Shizhong.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the sky, it seems that it will rain heavily. The group divided into several groups, calmed down their emotions, and returned to Qinglong Valley one after another. Only the blood stains on Gu Xiaomeng's chest and shoulders attracted a few surprised glances and mostly kind inquiries from the Sect Leader in the Valley. Of course, that's part of the story.

It's a pity that the other part of the story is not a script written by Gu Shizhong.

- He deliberately returned home an hour late, and before he could enter the door, he saw the housekeeper Gu Jiamo running from afar.

The butler's voice was extremely frightened, and the expressions of the people behind him were ominous.

What's wrong, say. Gu Shizhong's expression was calm.

Forest...... Lin Zhi...... Nowhere to be found!

What? Gu Shizhong's forehead suddenly broke out with a fine sweat. Is it possible that you just went out for a walk? Have you asked your grandmother?

The young grandmother said that soon after Zhuo Yan left, she went out and didn't say where she was going.

Gu Shizhong bit his lip. With her identity, she can't leave the Qinglong Valley, so arrange for some people to search for me - remember, don't make a big fuss!

Gu Jiamo responded and left in a panic. Gu Shizhong stretched out his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his forehead. It shouldn't be possible for Lin Zhi to know all these arrangements, and the current situation should be just a coincidence.

However, the news is very bad in three words: not found.

Within the maximum scope of the Gu family's silent search, they didn't find it-Gu Shizhong clenched his fists. He still has a lot of members of the Qinglong Sect in his hands, so he has to inform them now, and he has searched the Qinglong Valley thoroughly. As long as Tuoba Gu is not there, no one will be able to restrain himself. Even if he asks him tomorrow that Lin Zhi is missing and has to be searched, there is no flaw.

It's getting dark. What Gu Shizhong never expected was that even after searching the entire Qinglong Valley, Lin Zhi still had no trace.

He was more and more frightened. Did she smell the danger? She had -- she knew the truth?

The misfortune is that after returning from Qiwan Village, Gu Xiaomeng suddenly developed a high fever, and he fell headlong on the bed and became seriously ill. Originally, Gu Xiaomeng's speech was the most clever, Gu Shizhong planned to come back tomorrow, and she would tell her vividly how she was captured by the bad guys, and how Zhuo Yan came to save her from being killed by the bad guys, and she only needed to sigh beside her, saddening her dereliction of duty. But Gu Xiaomeng couldn't afford to get sick, and he was a little flustered.

--------

When I saw Tuoba Gu, it was already the morning of the third day - the news of Zhuo Yan had already spread in the church. Tuoba Gu came back late the day before, and Gu Shizhong was worried, so he didn't take advantage of the night to see him. It's just that no matter how apprehensive you are, the story will be told after all.

The next night, Tuoba Gu had obviously learned the news of Zhuo Yan's misfortune from others, and when Gu Shizhong came to know about it, he only didn't say a word from beginning to end, only frowning when he took the sticky piece of Zuo Pioneer token. After Gu Shizhong finished speaking, he didn't see Tuoba Gu suspicious, the stone hanging in his heart fell slightly, and when Tuoba Gu waved his hand to let him retreat first, he also went home with a sigh of relief.

He did not find that Tuoba Gu's silence was also a kind of uncertainty - he did not speak because of uncertainty. He didn't know that last night, Tuoba Gu returned to the valley, and when he opened the door, there was another woman in the room besides Su Zheyu.

- The woman he didn't find after searching through the Blue Dragon Valley.

Tuoba Gu, who wanted to come back and rest, saw Lin Zhi in his room, slightly displeased, and even more surprised.

She asked Su Zheyu.

Lin Zhi stepped forward first. Master. She was pale. Brother Zhuo, he ...... Something went wrong.

She slowly recalls the previous afternoon. Yesterday afternoon, I was taking a nap, when Brother Zhuo suddenly came over and called me. He said to me, "Miss Frost said she had something to do with me, and asked me to go." Then he gave me another envelope, saying that he had something to give to Miss Fufeng before, and since I had gone there, I would take it with him on the way.

She paused. Brother Zhuo spoke very casually, as if he just remembered it for a while, nothing serious, so I didn't care, and went according to his wishes, but I didn't expect him to put this in the envelope.

Lin Zhi said, handing a folded piece of paper to Tuoba Gu. The latter opened, and there were only two sentences on the paper.

"Restrict all actions of Lin Zhi until I come back. ”

"If I don't return to Qinglong Valley until dark, send her to Su Zheyu, and when Tuoba Gu comes back, give him this note. ”

Tuoba Gu already frowned. Is he out of the Blue Dragon Valley?

Be. Su Zheyu replied on the side. It was Gu Shizhong's youngest daughter Gu Xiaomeng who was attacked and kidnapped and sent a letter to Gu's house, it happened that Gu Shizhong and the others were not there, Zhuo Yan saw it and went out. just gave Miss Lin this before leaving, and deceived her into going to find Baishuang and Fufeng. Fu Feng read the letter, and naturally immediately left Miss Lin there with Bai Shuang, and did not let her go back.

Since you are here now, does that mean - Zhuo Yan really didn't come back that night? Tuoba Gu's face turned pale.

Right. Lin Zhi is low and authentic. Later, according to the people of the Gu family, the youngest daughter was rescued, but Brother Zhuo ...... Something has happened.

Tuoba sneered. There are not too many people who can easily make him "unpredictable".

It is said to be Murong Xun. Su Zhiyu said. More than ten members of the Gu family rushed to hear the news later, and they all witnessed it...... witnessed Zhuo Yan being killed by Murong Xun in order to save the little girl of the Gu family......

Tuoba sat down slowly in his chair, leaned back, raised his hand, and looked at the piece of paper. What are you trying to tell me about this note?

He looked at Lin Zhi. Is there a gap between Zhuo Yan and Murong Jing?

They...... Lin Zhi bit her lip. The third junior brother will never ......

So first, it doesn't matter if it's Murong Xun or not. Tuoba Gu interrupted him. Zhuo Yan must have a reason to keep this hand. Split you apart, and let Su Fufeng detain you, he understands very well that he doesn't want you to stay in the Gu family alone. Maybe he thinks that without him, the Gu family is not a safe place, and then he wants to send you here, then he should feel that Su Fufeng is not safe there - did the Gu family look for you last night?

Well. Su Zhiyu is sure. He sent a number of people to look for Miss Lin everywhere, I think Miss Lin didn't say goodbye, and it was not surprising that they were looking for her, but--Fu Feng insisted on not letting me inform Gu Shizhong of Miss Lin's whereabouts, she said--Since it was written by Zhuo Yan, it must make sense, and it is better to wait for you to come back and decide. I didn't show up.

That's it. Tuoba lonely road. Zhuo Yan must have expected that the Gu family would search people like this, in the entire Qinglong Valley, there is indeed only this place where no one dares to search.

The question is--why is he suddenly so wary of the Gu family? They have lived together for a long time, and there is nothing wrong, there is no reason why Old Pioneer Gu wants to harm Miss Lin, right?

Judging from the current situation, he most likely feels that the person who is "trying to be harmed" is himself. Tuoba lonely road. He must have thought that before he went out - with his character, he often knew that there was a problem, and he had to jump in.

He looked up at Lin Zhi. As for you, he expects that those who harm him must also harm your heart, and that's why he comes out of this. Well, anyway, in the end, this hot potato was still lost to me.

Meaning...... It means that Brother Zhuo's accident was planned by Gu Shizhong? Lin Zhi seemed to be in disbelief.

Why don't you ask Gu Shizhong. Su Zhiyu said.

I'd like to hear what Gu Xiaomeng has to say. Tuoba Gu thought of the little girl who had eavesdropped by the door, and frowned slightly.

The little girl, when she heard that she was kidnapped and frightened, saw Zhuo Yan injured and bleeding in front of her, and came back in the rain, but she became seriously ill and had a high fever. Su Zhiyu said.

Oh, that's a pity. Tuoba was silent.

Tuoba Sect Master. Lin Zhi couldn't help but say. Can I also go and confront the Gu family?

You—Tuoba Gu glanced at her. Don't go anywhere until this is settled.

But...... Lin Zhi's eyes were slightly red. I really don't believe that Murong will attack Brother Zhuo...... I'd like to ask about it......

Tuoba was silent. In Lin Zhi's view, Zhuo Yan and Tuoba Gu are far from friends and enemies, so Tuoba Gu has not shown much meaning, she is not surprised, what surprises her is Zhuo Yan's letter, it seems that she believes that Tuoba Gu will agree to protect her - whether the Gu family really has that despicable possibility or not.

-----

The story told by Gu Shizhong the next day was perfect and flawless, and it was completely connected with what Lin Zhi said. He even prostrated himself on the ground, bitterly expressing his dereliction of duty and the pain of losing his beloved nephew.

Tuoba Gu couldn't tell what was wrong. When he returned, he could only look at the two things on the table without saying a word.

Zhuo Yan's letter, and the bloody token.

----

Zhuo Yan's letter had already made it clear that all this was a conspiracy of the Gu family. He believed that with enough tacit understanding between Tuoba Gu and him, he would understand what he meant.

-- But what if you're wrong? You're too wise to be on too many things -- but that doesn't mean you can't be wrong. I do see what you mean, but you left it before you left - maybe you were wrong? Besides, I don't have a single piece of evidence.

Tuoba Gu pressed his temples, subconsciously turned around, and called Huo You's envoy.

As soon as he spoke, he seemed to realize that this was not a place to read and discuss affairs on weekdays, so he paused and stood up.

Looking for Huo You's envoy, Su Zheyu had already poked his head out.

It's none of your business. You two are here. Tuoba Gu said, and walked out.

Of course, Huo Xin had already heard about Zhuo Yan. As one of the few people who knew Zhuo Yan's true identity, he certainly understood what it meant to lose Zhuo Yan to Tuoba Gu. Tuoba Gu's extremely gloomy face showed that he didn't want to pretend to be relaxed with Huo Xin.

But Tuoba Gu didn't intend to mention Zhuo Yan's letter, let alone reveal Lin Zhi's whereabouts. Zhuo Yan has no news so far, thinking that there is more luck and less luck, the difference is only that who killed him. Looking for Huo Xin now, it is nothing more than to discuss what changes should be made in the original plan of the Blue Dragon Sect after the death of this person who did not deserve to die.

Fortunately, it has not yet been announced that Ling Li has left the Blue Dragon Sect and the position of the left vanguard will be held by Jiquan. Huo Xindao. I think it is only when we have never found the spring that we will recall Ling Li as soon as possible, and return to the original candidate.

Tuoba was silent, Huo Xin looked at his face, and stopped talking.

Of course, he wouldn't be unaware of how much effort Tuoba Gu had put into getting Zhuo Yan back to the Blue Dragon Sect, and now that he was almost about to succeed, it was not surprising that he had encountered such a thing. But with his understanding and speculation about Tuoba Gu, Zhuo Yan is also more of a transaction than a friendship for him. Although it is a pity to lose, after all, she is not a character like Su Zheyu, whose nature is equivalent to a large-cost business at most, and finally lost it.

After a long time, Tuoba Gu changed his sitting position. Ling Li should also be in Huizhou in two days. As he said in his previous letter, if he comes, he will let me know, and when the time comes, you will send someone to fetch him.

Be. Huo Xin responded, and said, Murong Xun has arrived so quickly, and he seems to be very arrogant, his subordinates guess that he should have obtained some valuable connections from Suzaku, and at this moment there is a new backstage, so he must be guarded against.

Tuoba Gu simply hummed. In his opinion, Murong Xun just wanted to get Lin Zhi back. With his status as a so-called queen of the royal family, when will he have time to entangle with the Blue Dragon Sect?

On the other end of the Gu family, the only problem to worry about at the moment is Lin Zhi. There was no trace of her for a few days, and Gu Shizhong began to believe that she had taken advantage of the chaos that day and had escaped from Qinglong Valley to join Murong Xun Yu Rui and the others.

When this gust of limelight passed, he thought to himself, so he planned to take down Murong Xun's head.

Teng Ying, the daughter-in-law with a strong belly, is completely unaware of the inside story, and she is really worried about Lin Zhi's disappearance. However, Gu Xiaomeng had a high fever in the past few days, and she didn't have much time to think about it, and a large part of her worries were given to this little girl.

Gu Xiaomeng woke up a few times occasionally, but his eyes were completely gone. The blood on Zhuo Yan's chest - always dreaming of this scene. She didn't know which emotions were dominating her dreams. She couldn't recall what was going on in her mind. Revenge? Yes, revenge. But murder - she hadn't done it before. She thought that she must have forgotten that revenge is also a kind of murder, so at this moment, when she thought about it in her dream, she would break out in a cold sweat.

Undoubtedly, she hated this person who was falsely called "Brother Zhuo" by her, but she didn't know if this was a kind of psychological suggestion imposed on her. At least, the moment she saw him fall, the voice that almost blurted out "Brother Zhuo" didn't seem to have any need to pretend.

Murder, after all, is a sin. At the time when she didn't think about anything, and now she was thinking like a mess, and she suddenly realized that she had done something she had never thought she would do. The blood in his chest was like a nightmare that would never disappear for the rest of her life, constantly tormenting her, waking up rather than sleeping, and life worse than dead.

When she woke up this time, her mind seemed to be clearer, and she saw Teng Ying still sitting beside her.

Sister-in-law...... She moaned lowly. You go and rest, don't also catch the wind cold.

I know you're sorry for him. The round-faced young woman was a little unanswered. However, don't do it again, get better soon.

Gu Xiaomeng was stunned. For whom?

Your "Brother Zhuo". Teng Ying said. Every day you were together, and now the others are gone......

Gu Xiaomeng was silent. Teng Ying is perhaps the only one who doesn't know the ins and outs of the whole thing. She didn't know that Zhuo Yan was one of the murderers of her husband, so she simply thought that Zhuo Yan was really killed to save Gu Xiaomeng.

For some reason, the corners of my eyes were wet. Gu Xiaomeng hurriedly turned his face sideways and covered the quilt. Who said I was sad......

You don't know how many times you've called him in your sleep. Teng Ying's eyes also turned red. I didn't expect him to save you like that......

Don't say it! You, don't say it!" Gu Xiaomeng interrupted her suddenly. Yes, she didn't expect that either. She wouldn't have thought that after they had clearly revealed their hideous faces, he would pick up a knife and point it at Yu Rui and ask him to put her down.

This kind of emotion must be only temporary--after all, it is the enemy who killed his brother. Gu Xiaomeng believed this, but he couldn't help the strange sourness that overflowed, and suddenly screamed, covering his head with the quilt and covering it fiercely.

Teng Ying didn't know why she was suddenly crying like this. (To be continued.) )
