Xianyang Bridge

Didn't give up recruiting you? "

Gu Xichao shook his head, turned his face to the direction of the window, felt the coolness brought by the night breeze, and remembered that the leader said that there is no condition, as long as you are willing, I will treat you as a national soldier, and I hope you can repay me as a national soldier.

Tie Shou picked up the tea and said in a low voice, "In the past three years, you have gone through many dangers, and your life and death have been on the line several times. Don't fall short when you finally close the net."

Gu Xichao turned back to him and said, "I know, let's talk about the plan."

"Tong Guan has lived in seclusion these past few years and rarely shows up. Every time he appears in front of others, he is mostly a substitute. Mingjiao's current strength is only enough for one blow, and he dare not move lightly. The only chance is the golden envoy to present the three cities of Shuozhou, which is his. Thanks to his merits, he will definitely greet the envoy in person, and the plan is set on that day."

"At that time, Tong Guan will definitely set off at the same time as the substitute, and set up a suspicious formation. I will also arrange for the members of the Ming Cult to disperse their actions. At that time, their strength will not be able to gather in one place. Whether they can catch them all depends on the abilities of you and the six doors."

"As for the specific route and number of people, I can't say yet about the strength of each team. Everything depends on Tong Guan's plan."

Tie Shou listened, and suddenly asked, "When will your last medicine be ready?"

Gu Xichao said, "The leader said soon, I don't know when, Lu Li hasn't come back yet."

"If you can't wait..." Tie Shou looked into his eyes, Gu Xichao smiled lightly, "As long as you can capture Lu Li alive, what am I afraid of?"

Tie Shou thought about it carefully, yes, and then asked, "Have you got all the rosters of the remnants of the Demon Cult?"

Gu Xichao was startled, raised his face to face his direction, and said slowly, "This time the assassination of Tong Guan Mingjiao has exhausted all the elites. After this group of people, the Mingjiao has no fighting power anymore. The rest of the leaders are old, weak, sick, Even unarmed civilians, do you really want to kill them all?"

Tie Shou was silent for a while, "The devil's sect has created too much evil for mischief. They are not ordinary Jianghu sects. They are thieves who can disrupt the world. They cannot be treated as normal."

"The court is now facing internal and external troubles. What Mr. means is to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots."

"Oh," Gu Xichao mocked, "The king of Guangyang County has just recovered the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. The Liao people were defeated by the Jin people and almost wiped out the country. The enemy of the court has already signed an alliance with the Jin people. How can we talk about internal troubles and external troubles? Now that Mingjiao will soon cease to exist, it should be said that it is a good time, don’t you think, Iron Hero?”

Holding his forehead with an iron hand, "You know all about it."

Gu Xi sneered at the corner of her mouth, "I don't know."

The two were talking in the room, and they couldn't tell whether they were arguing or having a good time through the window. Qi Shaoshang stood on the branch of a tree, and Gou Feng severely stopped him when he wanted to speak a few times.

Mr. Gou pointed to his ears with his hands, implying that Gu Xichao's ears are very sharp, and they are not far enough to talk without being noticed.

It wasn't until Tie Shou came out, Gu Xichao closed the window, and the two quietly left the cemetery two miles away, that Qi Shaoshang let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at Gou Feng with an unfriendly expression.

He came back from encountering Tie Shou in the Shenhou Mansion today, and remembered Gu Xichao's saying that Tie Shou had arranged for him to enter the secret pavilion, so he wanted to ask what was going on. He always felt that what Gu Xichao said to him that day was false Actually, not all true.

However, Tie Shou came and went in a hurry, came back to meet Mr. Zhuge and then left the mansion, Qi Shaoshang thought it was going to be dark, could it be that he went out to eat?I just wanted to go to Cengfan to ask about Gu Xichao, but I didn't expect him to go farther and farther out of the city, and ran past the recruiting camp in one breath before stopping.

Qi Shaoshang has never been to this place before, it looks very clean, and the surrounding scenery is also very beautiful, the several huts are cleaned very cleanly, and there are flowers blooming inside and outside the low walls, there are pear blossoms and apricot blossoms, he once thought that Tie Shou was here He secretly set up a house where his confidante lived.

He felt a little embarrassed to break through this kind of thing, and when he was about to leave, he found Gou Feng, Lord Gou was squatting on the branch of an old tree, looking into the yard over there, Qi Shaoshang suddenly came up to scare him made him jump.

Gou Feng didn't expect that there would still be people who would dare to follow Tie Shou in this world. Just as Qi Shaoshang was about to ask you what you were doing sneaking around here, Gou Feng covered his mouth.

Mr. Gou desperately shook his head to sign to Qi Shaoshang not to speak, and then pointed to the yard to show him the writing. Qi Shaoshang recognized at a glance that he wrote Gu Xichao, raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and Gou Feng nodded vigorously Say yes.

Qi Shaoshang opened his hands and wiped his mouth vigorously. The two squeezed together on the branch of a tree and looked into the courtyard. Gou Tiqi next to him groaned, turned his head and glared at him, Gou Feng pointed to his chest and asked if there was any food, Qi Shaoshang took out a piece of mustache and gave it to him.

After Tie Shou entered the room again and opened the window, Qi Shaoshang saw that it was really Gu Xichao inside, so he couldn't help taking a breath.

This time it was Gou Feng's turn to glare at him, Qi Shaoshang made a gesture meaning I should keep quiet, let's continue watching.

The two in the room drinking tea and talking under the lamp looked very familiar, Qi Shaoshang saw Gu Xichao chuckled at Tie Shou, and thought to himself when did he get so close to Tie Shou?

Was it when you were in the Secret Pavilion?What is his identity in the Secret Pavilion?Why has he never heard of this.

Beside Gou Feng kept paying attention to the shape of Tie Shou's mouth, trying to see what he was talking about, but the distance was too far away and he was not facing the window, Gu Xichao turned around once, but unfortunately he didn't speak, Gou Feng could only barely concentrate all his energy Recognizing that Iron Hand seems to have mentioned the word Demon Cult.

Demon religion?Gu Xichao?

Gou Feng narrowed his eyes, could it be what he thought?How could the Demon Cult be so careless?If this is the case, Gu Xichao has killed many Tiqi people in the past few years. I don't know if this debt will be settled with the Demon Sect, or the Shenhou Mansion?

The two had their own ghosts on the tree, and they still had a tacit understanding. Now that they were far away, they immediately became tense.

Seeing Qi Shaoshang staring at him, Gou Feng stroked his beard and said, "The lower official stares at Gu Xichao for business, and Mr. Qi stares at Tie Butou for business?"

Qi Shaoshang looked at him, "I don't want you to worry about what I'm here for, Master Gou said it's official, but what did Gu Xichao commit?"

"What happened to Gu Xichao, doesn't Mr. Qi know about it? Didn't Mr. Qi see everything when he was in Shanyang Town?" Gou Feng said slowly, looking at the expression on Qi Shaoshang's face.

Qi Shaoshang said without changing his face, "I can't understand Mr. Gou's words."

Gou Feng smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, but the matter of the two remnants of the Demon Sect that you took away in Ruyin County, Mr. Qi, is not over yet. Leijiazhuang is not very far from the capital."

Qi Shaoshang's eyelids twitched, and he said in a low voice, "You dare to touch Leijiazhuang and try."

Sensing his murderous intent, Gou Feng took half a step back, looked at him and said, "There is something that may be related to what happened tonight. I wonder if Mr. Qi is interested in listening?"

Qi Shaoshang didn't move, Gou Feng slowly retreated and said, "Three years ago, Taiwei's Mansion formed Tiqi to clean up the remnants of the Demon Cult. At the same time, Shenhou Mansion launched the Dark Fragrance Project. Outsiders don't know who the person is, the only thing they know is that it has something to do with the Devil's Cult, and the prince just knew about it by accident, so he mentioned a few words to me."

"At first I thought this incident was just a rumor, but just now, it seems to be quite similar, but this incident has nothing to do with me."

"If Mr. Qi is curious, you might as well... go and check it out."

The next day in Qingming, it started to rain early in the morning. Gu Xichao, holding an umbrella, burned paper money and ingots in front of Wan Qing's tomb with iron hands. There were also flowers and plants that Gu Xichao specially asked the paper maker to paste, and a set of medical equipment. utensils.

He prepared a lot of things, and burned them for a long time without finishing them. He put everything into the brazier with iron hands. The old servant looked at them from under the eaves. Although he didn't quite understand who was in the tomb, he still sighed softly.

The drizzle fell on the umbrella, and the brushing sound made the surrounding quieter. When the kittens, puppies, and small houses made of paper and bamboo slices burned, they would occasionally make a soft noise or two. In the silence, Gu Xichao suddenly said, "It's just Because of different positions, even the one you love dare not accept, isn't it also a kind of cowardice?"

Tie Shou's hand trembled slightly, and Gu Xichao's voice came from his head, which sounded strangely erratic, "Wan Qing has never done anything that contradicts your position, and never changed until she died. , do you regret not being with her in the future?"

Tie Shou closed her eyes, and Gu Xichao said, "She has always liked heroes and longed for the world. She thought I was, but unfortunately I am not. I know that the hero in her heart is you, it has always been you, but you I have failed her, and I have failed her, I don't know if she knows anything, I hope that the person who pays homage to her grave is me or you."

"I think it should be you. I won't come again after today. You were not with her when she was alive. Please take good care of her in the future."

Tieshou stopped and looked at him, Gu Xichao said, "That's it."

"I still have something to say to Wan Qing, please go back."

Tie Shou looked deeply at his face and said, "Don't do stupid things."

Gu Xichao shook his head lightly, "Why, didn't you all say that I am a smart person."

...Joining the Demon Cult to help the court eradicate the grass and roots. After completing this task, the past will be wiped out. His Majesty will restore your reputation as a flower hunter and give you an official position. It will be a matter of time before you become a general with your ability. You are a smart man , should know how to choose.

"But you didn't accept it." Tie Shou looked at him and said.

"Send such an idiot to persuade me, of course I won't accept it, how could I do the same thing a second time," he twitched the corners of his mouth contemptuously, turned his face and said, "later iron
