Luo Tianchu thought again, why should I bother with her as a dignified man, Tianshui City is mixed, what should I do if she has an accident outside alone, so he hurriedly put down the tea money and chased after her. Within a moment, he chased after Ling Xue'er, just because he was angry in his heart, and kept a certain distance from her. Ling Xue'er also noticed him, and ignored him, just taking care of herself. The two came to the West City Gate one after the other.

There were still two quarters of an hour to go, and neither of them spoke, but waited on either side of the gate, and looked away from each other. Luo Tianchu is a careful person, carefully recalled the conversation of Shicai, and thought to himself Why is the eldest lady so angry when she mentions Ying'er? Could it be that she is jealous? Could it be that she likes me? How is this possible, she is the daughter of the castle owner, what am I, thinking of her bleak life experience, there is a pain in her heart. In the past three years of growth, he has been reborn, devoted himself to martial arts, and his spirit has been significantly sublimated, and he has no distractions and no children's feelings. Lu Fei praised him more than once in front of Ling Junlai as a martial arts wizard, you must know that being upset and irritable is a taboo in martial arts, and only those who have a heart like water can reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

It just feels like these two quarters of an hour are a long time. Luo Tian wanted to step forward and say a few soft words several times, after all, she was a girl, so she always had to be accommodating, but when she saw Ling Xue'er's unkind eyes, she dispelled her thoughts and didn't want to touch the nail. Jiang Feiyan and his entourage finally led the mount, talking and laughing, each with three points of drunkenness, it seems that the trip to the Qinglou was very pleasant. As soon as he saw their expressions when he came closer, he knew that something was wrong, Gu Yao smiled and said, "Xiao Luo, have you bullied the eldest lady? Luo Tianchu sighed: "How dare I." Ling Xue'er pointed at Luo Tianchu and said indignantly: "He just bullied me, Gu Zhai Master, you have to help me get angry." Gu Yao heard that she was making a little sex, and laughed: "How did he bully you, let's hear it." Ling Xue'er was speechless for a while, snorted and grabbed her little red horse, turned over and said, "You are not good people." "Say goodbye to the gates of the city. Luo Tianchu distributed the goods to everyone, and they all got on the horse and left.

On the way back to the city, Yan Weifeng smiled evilly: "Xiao Luo, how did you bully the eldest lady, you recruited from the truth." Luo Tianchu scolded with a smile: "Good boy, you also tease me, let's talk about the good things you did in the Qinglou!" Yan Weifeng smiled: "What kind of interest can you have in the Qinglou in broad daylight, it's just eating and drinking, but Xiao Zhu can't hold it back when she sees her sisters." Zhu Yushi immediately retorted: "you, it's the first time I entered the Qinglou, of course I'm a little nervous." Yan Weifeng smiled: "That girl named Hongyue seems to be very interested in you, why don't you stay there." Before Zhu Yushi could speak, Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "Don't dare to talk nonsense, if it reaches the ears of He Xiangu of the Zhengyi faction, Xiao Zhu's spring dream will be in vain." By the way, why don't you write letters to people? What if people forget about you after so long? Zhu Yushi didn't miss He Yuelian day and night, but he was shy and didn't dare to write a letter, so he was silent at the moment. Jiang Feiyan lay on horseback, poured a jar of bamboo leaves into her mouth, and said with emotion: "How good it is to be young, at least there are people who think about it for a long time, when you are old, you will only be accompanied by bitter wine, hey, fortunately, there is wine." Gu Yao smiled and said: "You are melancholy as soon as you eat and drink, you are only in your thirties, you are in your prime, where are you old?" Jiang Feiyan squinted and said: "People's hearts are old, people are old, you are accompanied by five beautiful wives, and the love is slower, but it is very tired." Gu Yao laughed and said, "Only a good man dares to marry five wives, so you don't have to worry about this." ”

Ling Xue'er in front suddenly turned her head and said, "What are you guys muttering, if you don't hurry up, it will be dark." "It's dusk, and there are still thirty miles away from Zulong Mountain, and it's really time to speed up the journey, so they gallop together. Ling Xue'er suddenly said "Huh" and said, "Luo Tianchu, where are my clothes?" Luo Tianchu knew that her anger had disappeared, and hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope. "Oh, it's in ...... Oh no, I forgot about the tea house, I was patronizing and chasing you at that time, and I took one less baggage. Ling Xue'er's little face turned pale with anger, and she was dissatisfied: "You took all the baggage of several of them, why didn't you take me, did you do it on purpose?" Luo Tianchu sighed: "Dare, you go first, I'll go back and get it." Gu Yao said: "Isn't it just a few clothes, I have a lot of them here, if the eldest lady catches his eye, I will give them to you." Ling Xue'er said: "Whoever wants you, I want my own." Zhu Yushi said: "Then I'll accompany Xiao Luo back to get it." Luo Tianchu said: "No, if you go down the mountain this time, the master of Jia Zhai will be displeased, and it will be too late to go back, he will definitely not let you come next time, I will go back." With that, he pulled the reins and galloped all the way he came. Ling Xue'er looked at his back, and suddenly said, "Don't stain my clothes if you're clumsy, I'll go and take a look." He turned his horse's head and followed. Gu Yao smiled mysteriously: "Maybe there will be a happy event in my castle." The crowd burst into laughter.

Luo Tianchu saw Ling Xue'er follow, frowned and said, "It's just to pick up things, you don't need to use it, don't let the castle master worry." Ling Xue'er was unconvinced and said: "Miss Ben is not a child, what is there to worry about." Luo Tianchu had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's go and go back quickly." ”

The gate of Tianshui City is not closed day and night, it is convenient for business travelers to come and go freely, when you return to the city, the sky is dark, but the city is brightly lit, and it is more lively than during the day. Shops of all sizes are decorated with colorful lights, full of friends, and ushering in the busiest time of the day.

The tea house was still open, and as soon as Luo Tianchu entered, Dr. Tea smiled and said, "The guest officer is back, your baggage is still here, please take it." Luo Tianchu thanked him, took the burden, and said to Ling Xue'er: "Okay, let's go quickly." Ling Xue'er said: "You see how lively the night market is, I want to visit it again." Luo Tianchu said: "It's very late now, and it will be dark if you don't leave." Ling Xue'er smiled: "It's just a little less shopping, I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of." Luo Tianchu couldn't help her, and said: "Half an hour at most, no more." Ling Xue'er said: "Okay, okay, okay, I know." ”

Tianshui City is very lively, which makes Xue'er look around, and she is very interested, and she buys a lot of gadgets. Luo Tianchu was about to persuade her to leave, when she suddenly saw more than a dozen big men flashing out of the street corner in front of her, one of whom was tall and had a huge knife on his back, which was the Dongguo Wendao who had fought in the afternoon. They appeared very cautious and walked cautiously along the side of the road. Luo Tianchu became suspicious, pulled the sleeve of Raling Xue'er, and said, "Don't you see that they are the group of people who fought with us in the afternoon?" Ling Xue'er glanced at her and said, "So what." At this moment, the group of people stopped at the mouth of an alley, looked around, and flashed into the alley. Luo Tianchu said in a deep voice: "They are by no means good, they are so sneaky that they want to do bad things, we must find out." "Luo Tianchu was deeply influenced by Zhong Yuanpeng, and when he saw that the road was uneven, he had to draw a knife to help. Ling Xue'er was even more unafraid, she only found it exciting and interesting, and immediately agreed.

They followed into the alley. The figure of Dongguo Wendao has disappeared, the alley is pitch black, there is an alley in the alley, there are four or five forks along the way, twists and turns, I don't know where to lead. Luo Tianchu was not in a hurry, he chased down the messy footprints on the ground, turned right, and was about to reach the end, when he suddenly heard someone in the dark: "Who is doing what?"

This place is far away from the city, secluded and desolate, the surrounding houses are declining, no one has lived for a long time, Luo Tianchu's eyes have been accustomed to the darkness, and he found that the person who spoke was squatting under the wall, holding a long sword, and there was another person squatting behind the pile of debris, holding a short stick with eyebrows, as the second post of the secret sentry, and it was easy not to appear. There was a faint light coming out of the small courtyard not far away, which must be the gathering point of the group. Luo Tianchu was even more sure that they were going to do something unseemly, and made up his mind that he had to take care of it, but there were two people on the opposite side, and he was afraid of startling the snake alone, so he quietly grabbed Ling Xue'er's soft little hand, and his fingers quickly drew the word 'point' on her palm, at the same time he pretended to be startled, and said in a lost voice: "Why are there still people? What are you doing here?"

In fact, the person squatting under the wall had also seen Luo Tianchu and Ling Xue'er in the 'Drunkard's Residence, and now because it was difficult to distinguish at night, he could only see that it was a pair of young men and women, so he smiled evilly: "It turned out that the dog man and woman came to cheat, hey, you are in good shape, but unfortunately the uncle has something, let you go this time, get out." Luo Tianchu pretended to be stunned: "Keep your mouth clean." He quickly wrote on the palm of her slightly sweaty hand, "Ready." Ling Xue'er shook his fingers twice to show understanding. The man sneered: "I don't know what to do, boy, my uncle has changed his mind, and now he can't leave if he wants to." As he spoke, he stepped forward with his sword, and he was about to do it.

Luo Tianchu's body suddenly jumped out and swept past the man, and the target was the person with the stick hiding behind the pile of debris. That person didn't expect that Luo Tianchu had discovered him, and he was defenseless at all, and was cut to his neck by Luo Tianchu with a palm, snorted, and fainted. The sword-bearer was taken aback, and was about to draw his sword and shout, causing Xue'er to bully him closer, hitting five acupoints on his body in a row, and the man's body went weak and collapsed to the ground. Luo Tianchu took the long sword that fell in his hand with an arrow step, and did not make a sound.

Luo Tianchu praised in a low voice: "The eldest lady is so handsome. Ling Xue'erqiao's face was slightly red, obviously because she was holding hands just now, and she also said in a low voice: "Of course." "Ling Xue'er, as the daughter of Ling Junlai and You Jingyao, has excellent martial arts qualifications, and if she is willing to work hard, her future is limitless, but she is too playful, impetuous, three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, martial arts is the level of an average master, but it is not a problem to deal with this kind of third-rate role. Luo Tianchu put his sword on the man's neck and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here? If you dare to scream, you will cut off your head." The man was a soft bone, and he recognized him as a young man from the 'drunkard house', and hurriedly said: "Shaoxia spares his life, we are all the subordinates of Brother Dongguo, who fell into the grass outside the pass, this time he was invited by General Li Cheng of Qi to come to Tianshui City to rob a fortune, the villain is just acting on orders, and I hope that Shaoxia will spare his life." Luo Tianchu was moved, but he didn't expect Li Cheng to take refuge in Qi after being driven out of Shu by Ling Junlai, this time he committed a crime under the nose of the Blood Knife Castle, maybe it was related to the Blood Knife Castle, and he must find out, and asked: "What kind of money was robbed? Did Li Cheng come?" The man said with a bitter face: "The villain is just letting go of the wind, how do you know these big things, but General Li Cheng is not here." Luo Tianchu didn't dare to lie, pointed to the small courtyard in front of him and said, "Dongguo asked if they were inside?" The man nodded and said: "Yes, there are thirteen people in the house, in addition to Brother Dongguo, there is also a General Yang Zaixing, he is General Li Cheng's right-hand man, and he is also the chief here, even Brother Dongguo has to listen to his orders." Luo Tianchu silently recited Yang Zaixing's name twice, thinking that this person's skills might still be above Dongguo Wendao. Knowing that he could no longer ask anything, he knocked the man unconscious.

After the Jin State occupied Henan, Shandong and other places, due to the language barrier and different cultures, it was difficult to directly govern it, so it came up with the strategy of governing the Han with the Han Dynasty, setting up the Qi State, supporting the Han people as kings, and taking care of this place for the Jin people, so that the Qi State was sandwiched between the Song and Jin countries, and became the puppet and lackey of the Jin State, and constantly harassed the Song Dynasty. Liu Yu, the puppet emperor of Qi, was originally the Jinan Taishou of the Great Song Dynasty, and after the surrender of Xiancheng, he was good at slipping whiskers and horses, and won the trust of the nobles of Jin, so he was named the emperor of Qi, and his son Liu Lin became the crown prince. When the State of Qi was first established, it was in urgent need of manpower, and Li Cheng, who was driven out of Sichuan, was cornered, so he defected to the State of Qi, and was reused by Liu Yu and appointed as a general.

Luo Tianchu said: "Miss, you go back to the castle and convey this matter to the castle lord and military advisor, and I will leave the opportunity to act." Ling Xue'er said: "We are here together, we want to go together." Luo Tianchu said: "My eldest lady, the matter is very important, you can listen to me once." Ling Xue'er said solemnly: "I'm not willful, I know what to do." It is unrighteous to let you be alone in danger, and I am alone, and my father will scold me. Besides, you have to have three long and two short, who will ...... in the future Who's still playing with me. Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me that if there is danger, you will get out first, and I will break it off." Ling Xue'er smiled and said, "I know, I really treat Miss Ben as a burden." ”

When Zhu Yushi entered the Guwang Village, he saw that Jia Yinyang's room was still dimly lit, so he knocked on the door and asked, "Is the master resting, the disciple is back." Jia Yinyang's shrill voice came from the room, "Come in." Zhu Yushi pushed the door into the house, and saw that there was no one in the main hall, Jia Yinyang was in the bedroom, with a square cloth spread out on the bed and a few folded clothes. Zhu Yushi said strangely: "Is the master going out far away?" Jia Yinyang said: "Don't be stupid, you also go back and clean up, we have something urgent to go down the mountain tonight." Although Zhu Yushi was curious, he didn't ask much, and when he was about to go back to the house, he found Brother Lan squatting at the foot of the wall with a sad face, and said strangely: "Brother Lan is also here? Are we still going to collect poison so late?" Jia Yinyang said impatiently: "I'll talk about it on the road." ”

At night, the mountain breeze is the coolest, and cold fog falls from the sky and fills the valley. On the way down the mountain, Jia Yinyang briefly introduced the situation to Zhu Yushi, there is a 'Caoyang Village' not far from here, the villagers are all Gu Miao people, there are more than 200 households, as big as eighty-year-old people, as young as six years old children can use Gu, it is the largest Gu village in Shu, Jia Yinyang and Brother Lan both grew up in this village. But now there is a strange thing in Caoyang Village, there are more than 20 villagers in one day, each of them has a different Gu nature, and it is extremely toxic, the strange thing is that no one has died so far, obviously the intention of the Gu people is not to kill. The Gu masters in the village were at a loss, and no one could solve it, just when Brother Lan returned to the village to visit his family, the village chief Jiang Keshan remembered that there was still a Gu King living in the Blood Knife Castle, so he asked Brother Lan to return to Zulong Mountain to ask Jia Yinyang to save people, this was their last hope.

Zhu Yushi also felt incredible after hearing this, and said: "The incomprehensible Gu poison is very large, and it is really strange that those villagers can be poisoned so deeply but not die." Jia Yinyang said in a deep voice: "The highest level of Gu art is not to put people to death, but to make people want to live and not to die, life and death are in the hands of Gu people." If the guess is right, the person who fell under the Gu should be here for the teacher, and after twenty years, someone finally came to challenge again. Zhu Yushi exclaimed: "How can the master conclude that he is coming at you?" Jia Yinyang sneered: "Playing Gu in the teacher's hometown, but not killing people, is obviously forcing the teacher to go out to see if he has the ability to solve the Gu." Zhu Yushi said: "It's easy to solve Gu and it's difficult to solve Gu, this way of challenging is unfair." Jia Yinyang sneered: "That's right, but there is another sentence you have to remember, there is no Gu in the world that cannot be solved, it all depends on the skill." Zhu Yushi found that his eyes were shining when he said this, and his face was smiling and full of confidence.
