Chapter 71
After the kiss was over, Gu Changqing felt a little hot on his face.What was strange was that Xiao Heng, who was usually as thick-skinned as a city wall, was also a little red at the base of his ears, and put his arms around him, rubbing against the side of his neck like a mangy dog.
Gu Changqing pushed him, and he groaned and said, "Wait for the others to catch up and walk together, then hug me for a while."
It wasn't long before Gu Changqing was sure of his intentions, and he was a little excited for the first time in two lifetimes, so he could allow Xiao Heng to be presumptuous for a while.
However, Master Xiao had probably never acted like a baby before, and he was not proficient in the business, so he hung himself on Gu Changqing, which was a bit heavy.Coupled with the fact that it was the first time to receive a positive response from Changqing, Xiao Heng was a little flattered, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words.Seeing that Changqing quietly let himself kiss and hug whenever he wanted, with his eyebrows lowered, he didn't have the aura of "Are you going to rebel" when he raised his eyebrows in the past? The distorted mentality of "finally becoming a wife"—even though in fact it has nothing to do with it—was so excited that it kept rubbing against his ears.
So I went back and forth, and finally succeeded in dissipating the last bit of lingering atmosphere.Gu Changqing endured and endured, and finally, when the base of the ear was getting more and more itchy, he slapped it, and pushed Xiao Heng's big head aside: "Take it easy for me."
The man raised his head reluctantly, suddenly opened his eyes wide as if he had discovered a new world, and pointed at him very strangely, the villain first complained: "Changqing, you are blushing."
Gu Changqing said expressionlessly, "If I had a mirror with me, it would definitely hit your face."
So Xiao Heng's ears turned a little redder, and he giggled on the spot.Gu Changqing was quite upset, how did this guy become so stupid step by step?
There was a sound of light footsteps in the distance.Someone walked to a place two yards away from them, tapped the copper ring three times, and after a while, tapped it three more times. After doing this five times, there was a creak, and someone opened the door.
A deliberately lowered voice asked, "Why are you? Didn't Madam come over?"
A thin female voice replied: "Just now people from the Ten Thousand Devils Cave broke in, Madam went somewhere, and now the whole village is in chaos. But Madam has ordered that even if there is a big event, you can't delay the prince's time." medicine, so I brought it over."
The previous voice said "um", and opened the door to let people in.
Xiao Heng put away his smirk in an instant, subconsciously took Gu Changqing to his side, and took two steps forward to poke the probe slightly.When I ran this way just now, I felt the breathing of many people in the yard ahead, which was heavier than that of Jianghu people, but longer than that of ordinary people, which was quite strange.Now someone said something about sending medicine to the prince, so it is natural to find out.
Unexpectedly, there seemed to be quite vigilance over there, as soon as Xiao Heng showed his head, a gaze swept over vigilantly.Fortunately, he shrank quickly, so he didn't startle the snake.
A courtyard that looks ordinary from the outside is loose on the outside and tight on the inside.The whole Shuiyun village is noisy now, but it is surprisingly quiet here.It would be understandable if there was no one in the courtyard. There are so many people inside, but they don't pay any attention to the movement outside. They just guard such a place tightly. Either there is an important treasure, or there is some big person living there.
Combined with the brief conversation just now, it is obviously the latter. The relatively heavy breathing in the courtyard and the relatively neat pace of people walking around, if you guessed correctly, it should be the guards of the palace.
Gu Changqing whispered in his ear: "The other day I heard that green snake spirit Mrs. Huang said that she wanted Yang Yichuan to help some prince ascend the throne."
Xiao Heng nodded, leaned over and kissed his lips lightly, and then said before he became angry from embarrassment: "It should be Dingnan King Zhu Xiaozhe, the Fourth Emperor's Uncle above."
When talking about the one above, he pointed to the sky.
Gu Changqing lost his temper because of his rogue tricks, so he had to push his forehead hard again: "Can this be guessed? Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart? Or is it because this is his jurisdiction?"
Xiao Heng stopped his hand by the way, and squeezed it: "This is his territory. It's hard to say that Sima Zhaozhi's heart is known to everyone, but it definitely belongs to the heart disease of the superiors. He is too capable. He has been in the army since he was a child. The title of King Dingnan is the result of many battles between the South and the North. In the year of disaster in the south, hundreds of thousands of disaster victims rioted and the whole country was shocked. In the end, he was the one who suppressed it all by himself."
Gu Changqing curled his lips: "Is it considered skillful to deal with unarmed disaster victims?"
Xiao Heng shook his head: "It is said that the disaster victims were instigated by people with ulterior motives, and many forces were mixed among them. The situation was quite complicated, and ordinary people really couldn't handle it, but as soon as he arrived, he forced it down. And his determination The name of Nan did not come from here, but when the seven clans in Lingnan rebelled, he dispatched troops in a flash, disintegrating all the combat power of the opponent overnight, and making all the forces in Lingnan silent. In short, he is a very capable person. Troubled times must be a hero, but the four realms are still stable after all, there is no room for further development, and the above is like guarding against thieves every day, so it is probably not going well."
Gu Changqing understood a little: "He has a high meritorious service, so life will not be easy, and his superiors are probably also restless. Is he originally capable and ambitious, or was he forced to raise his troops to protect himself?"
Since he said that he was on the throne without hesitation in front of Yang Yichuan, he was naturally very well prepared.Why would a majestic prince win over the forces of the world?The fancy is the flexibility of its gray area.Not under the strict control of the imperial court, on the one hand, it can help it amass money, on the other hand, it can secretly cultivate power and do things that are inconvenient for itself.Although the Jianghu people are not as disciplined as in the army, there are quite a few people who are superb in kung fu, and they can have miraculous effects when necessary.
And Yang Yichuan has such a backer, so all his actions are easy to understand.Whether it's because of the prince's will or his own ambition, eradicating the Wanmo Cave is the first step in his expansion of the territory, and Wanjiazhuang and Qianxingzhai are equally famous, so it is natural for him to reap the benefits by instigating the Demon Cult to fight against it. The best choice.
Xiao Heng spread his hands: "Who knows? But one thing is certain, it's not a day or two since he has the heart of disobedience."
Gu Changqing heard that his last voice was a little strange, so he couldn't help but look at him, and found that Xiao Heng's face was much colder: "After I killed the old leader, the Dingnan King sent someone to ask me if I want to be No. 1 in the martial arts world." .[-], or as long as you have the heart, it is not impossible to go further. Only then did I know why the old leader would go against the previous practice of being a man with his tail between his legs, and openly search for people everywhere. Have nothing to fear."
Gu Changqing asked: "You mean, it was because of King Dingnan's acquiescence that the old leader made trouble in the Jianghu?"
Xiao Heng sneered and said: "Eight/nine is inseparable. After killing the old guy, although no specific correspondence was found, a large amount of gunpowder and some special weapons undoubtedly flowed out of the army. The Ten Thousand Devils Nest used to be just a group of People who can't get along in the rivers and lakes are lingering on a little bit of danger, who dares to blatantly get so many children back to toss like him? What's more, no one can do anything about the bigger and bigger moves in the rivers and lakes? It's not that our group of people escaped their control. I don't know what the situation is now. I guess there is nothing wrong with Yang Yichuan. After all, there was no alliance at all in Wanmo Nest before, and it was easier to control. There are many ways in Qianxingzhai, and it is easy to leak information .”
Gu Changqing remained silent. There was basically no doubt about this speculation, and it was probably close to ten.In this way, the culprit who caused the turmoil in the entire Jianghu is in the small courtyard not far from them?
"Are you ready?" He asked tentatively.If this is the case, King Dingnan is also the chief culprit who brought Xiao Heng's life into darkness. Now that he happened to meet him, he wouldn't want to do it immediately, would he?
However, Xiao Heng's expression slowed down again, and he embraced him and kissed him: "What would you say if I really hacked him here?"
Gu Changqing is a little nervous. He lives in an era without princes and generals, but... a living prince, and a prince with a heavy army in his hands, it's a bit too exciting to say that he will die if he wants to die. Think about it carefully: "It doesn't seem to have any effect. You don't even know your own life experience, and you are not afraid of someone jumping out to punish your nine clans. I guess the one above is secretly happy. At most, you will leave a case with the official, and there will be no real people chasing you every day. You will never die. In the future, you will probably not be able to walk in the rivers and lakes openly, but the situation is not much different from your previous situation. Well, if you want to take revenge, you can go now. nothing to say."
After he finished speaking, he found Xiao Heng staring at him and smiling. Xiao Heng's facial features are very distinct. He is cool when he is silent and expressionless, but occasionally the corners of his mouth are always twitched when he smiles. It is very rare to see such a smile with stretched eyebrows now. , giving Gu Changqing a feeling of amazement.
Xiao Heng's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but Murong Jue and his party had already rushed over.Murong Xuan shouted loudly: "I said you guys run pretty fast..."
Before he finished speaking, Murong Jue stopped him.He looked at Xiao Heng, and accurately compared the house of King Bi Dingnan, showing a questioning look, as if he also noticed that there were abnormally many people in it.It has to be said that the vigilance of people who often walk around the rivers and lakes is really extraordinary.
Xiao Heng whispered to Gu Changqing: "I don't want to take revenge now, but time is running out. The trick of capturing the thief first may help us get out of trouble."
The author has something to say:
As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang in the distance, and the blue giant snake finally got rid of the mechanism, revealing its ferocious and bright fangs.At the same time, Yang Yichuan also shattered one formation eye after another and sent out a signal. The people in Shuiyun Village, who were like headless flies, suddenly had a backbone and gathered around him one after another.
Yang Yichuan looked at Zhu Qianji and others who were retreating, his face was indistinguishable, and he said loudly: "Everyone has come from a long way to give me such a big gift in Shuiyun Village, if Yang doesn't pay back, Don't you feel bad about it?"
Just as Zhu Qianji estimated, if he wanted to go deep into the village to save people, it would be easy to get in and difficult to get out.After all, it is on other people's territory, so it can be a coincidence, after all, there is no successor.
But the accidental discovery of King Dingnan may be a turning point.
Xiao Heng and Murong Jue looked at each other, and suddenly made a few gestures in unison. Several people came out from Banyue Villa and Wanmo Cave at the same time, and followed them into the courtyard where King Dingnan was.
The green snake, who was trapped by Zhu Qianji and furious, suddenly felt something and turned in this direction.An expression almost terrified suddenly appeared on the ugly snake face, and it immediately didn't care about chasing Zhu Qianji and his party. With a flick of its huge tail, it rushed towards this side with all its strength.
Thank you Ye Fenghongshuang, Zhai~Zhai~Zhaizaiwo girl's mine~
