Gu Xiao wrote a letter with the pen and asked for the carrier pigeon to be sent to Feiyun Peak. Then he took Chu Yao to a secluded corner without speaking, and just looked at him so deeply.
It's not his style to hit children, but he has seen a lot of frightening children. When he was a child, he was most disturbed not by the feather duster in the master's hand, but the look in the eyes of the master when she was silent.
The majesty is like a mountain, and the power is as sinking as the sea.
Chu Yao was staring at him so that his calves were trembling, and he was afraid that he might have provoke this person who seemed to have a brain disease. Although he turned pale with fright, he managed to hold back no tears and kept raising his head. Look at him.
Gu Xiao looked a little surprised, and said that this little meatball is still a bit courageous. In the future, it will be either stubborn or stubborn.
Thinking about this, he calmed his face and said, "I will do what I promised you, but it involves too much. To tell you the truth, I am a little scared."
Gu Xiao is sixteen this year, and has been in the world for only half a year. Although the newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, they did not say that it is not too big to cause trouble.
If he guessed correctly, then this matter is not a general grievance, but a matter of life and death for the family and the country. Gu Xiao asks himself that he is indifferent and cannot afford such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Chu Yao blinked: "Are you afraid of... death?"
In his only knowledge now, death is probably the most terrifying thing.
Gu Xiao shook his head: "I am more afraid of killing others."
"No... are you afraid of death?"
"One is over a hundred, and the other is not at ease." Gu Xiao squatted down, "The most feared thing in this life is to have a conscience, so do you want to be such a person?"
At this time, Chu Yao still couldn't understand the deep meaning of his words, only instinctively shook his head: "I don't want to."
"Good boy." Gu Xiao didn't have a hand to touch his head this time, but kept a straight-up posture, "I will save your brother, but I can't take you. I will find a safer. Hide you somewhere, and someone will come to take you home. You just have to wait."
Chu Yao grabbed his hand and shook his head like a rattle: "I want to follow you, I'm afraid!"
"With you, I can't do anything." Gu Xiao smiled, "Did you think about it?"
Chu Yao narrowed his mouth, hesitated to let go of his hand, and said: "You must bring my brother back, don't lie to me."
"Don't worry, I never lie to children."
"I am eight years old!"
"Has the hair grown all the way?"
"..."
"That's right." Gu Xiao stood up and took Chu Yao's hand, "I'll hide you first and don't make trouble."
The letter he just sent was to Gu Qifang. After all, there is no one other than Master and Madam who can let him trust him without scruples. In that letter, he wrote about the location of an inn. This place is generally unremarkable in Jinshui Town. He also saw the store in the morning. He was a loyal person. So he opened two rooms and met him. Then he told Chu Yao to go out less on weekdays, and to spend his daily meals in the room, and then drew a little Feihong outside the other room, and then he was relieved to leave.
Chu Yao kept watching him busy, feeling up and down, and clearly knowing that he could not help, so he had to sit nervously, until then he said: "Who would you let me pick me up?"
"My master, a tall and thin woman, with a black long knife on her waist, her expression is very awkward, you know it at first glance."
Chu Yao put aside his snacks, and felt that even if this **** didn’t speak human words, but at any rate, his master should be more reliable. Unexpectedly, I heard Gu Xiao add: "It’s just that I told you last night. The female bandit you talked about, don’t be afraid, she is good."
"...!"
Gu Xiao rushed out before being hugged by the child and ran a long distance before wiping off his sweat.
He went to Xingyi to find someone to ask for the way. The northern front line was at Frightening Cold Pass, and the journey was far away. In these short two days, let alone those people who traveled by water, even if they had wings, they would never reach it. Go there, I think there should be a chance to stop halfway. Gu Xiao asked an experienced merchant to draw a map, frowned and thought for a while, then decided to take a detour.
The waterway wins in secret, and they didn't plan to disturb the level when they came. It is inevitable that they will be lost sooner or later and toss around. Gu Xiao bought enough water and dry food, and then bought a good horse, calculating the stroke strength in his mind, riding the horse wildly, running for two days, almost unable to find the north, only then found a reed swamp.
Not far ahead is the "Yanhui River", and the boat can be transferred by land within a few miles. It is already close to the Northland. It stands to reason that a checkpoint should be set up here. However, the undercurrent of the Yanhui River is turbulent, and after the middle reaches, the waterfall falls down. The strange rocks on both sides of the strait are steep, and the mountains are steep. It can be described as a great moat. If it weren't for the brave, people would not come here to gamble with God.
Now it is the black lights, dark clouds covering the moon, and only a few sparse stars. It is a good time to fish in troubled waters. Gu Xiao released the horse and broke a reed to step his feet. He has only learned knives for six years, but he has practiced light skills for twelve years. Although it is not as good as Gu Qifang's stepping on the water without a trace, he has already crossed the river with a reed. Practice some heat.
He took advantage of the darkness to explore the river bank briefly, and found no clues, presumably no boats or carriages passed by in the past two days, so he put his heart down and hid quietly in the reeds.
He has been lying on his stomach for nearly two hours, and there is still no sign on the river surface, and Gu Xiao can't help but panic.
After all, it was too late when I met Chu Yao, and there were not many clues in his hand, so most of them were guesses based on feelings. On this journey day and night, I was full of fear that I would not be able to catch up with the other party, but I forgot that maybe my guess was wrong.
Gu Xiao hesitated if he waited another hour and didn’t see the situation, he would risk reporting to the government. He didn’t act like this before. It was nothing more than that the rivers, lakes and temples were clearly distinguished, and he didn’t know the credibility of the people in the officialdom. Put it together yourself, if you guess wrong this time, you can only take the risk.
Fortunately, God still took care of this blind cat.
When he was already a little uncontrollable, he finally saw the shadows of a few ships on the river surface with a little bit of starlight. No flags were displayed, no ignitions, and he didn’t know what the boaters were capable of. It's no problem to be able to travel in this dark night water.
Gu Xiao thought for a while, and found a leaf-shaped glass mirror from his pocket.
This thing is a plaything that Gu Qifang gave him when he was young. It is said to be brought by a friend from the Western Regions. Not to mention the exquisite carving, it can see far as near, even at night, as if it is daytime, but he sometimes goes to the house. Jiewa's big dependence on digging out birds and fishes, even if he grows up, he is not willing to lose.
Gu Xiao closed his left eye and placed the glass mirror in front of his right eye. The dim night was like being thrown away by the fog, everything hidden in it was revealed-three small and small boats, ordinary appearance Through, there were two men in black at the bow and stern, the middle cabin was covered with linoleum, and the star inside was not visible.
coming! Gu Xiao's heart sank, but the distance was too far, he could not hear the movement of the boat at all, and could only vaguely see the occasional communication between the people in black. After thinking about it for a moment, he took a reed pipe in his mouth and silently dropped the water.
After all, he is a native of the South. He is naturally excellent in water, and he is cautious in doing things. He walked along the reeds and approached, and then dived in one breath, clinging to the bottom of the last ship, accidentally agitated in the middle Splash is not as powerful as a fish jumping.
He chose this boat for a reason. The first two boats have similar drafts, and the weights of the items in it are similar, but the side of the last one has sunk deeper. If there is no more stuff on it, It should be overloaded.
I planned to be close to eavesdrop, but he didn't expect that although his position was hidden, it was not conducive to ear stealing. After holding his breath for a while, he couldn't even hear him clearly. Gu Xiao spit out bubbles carefully like a fish, while taking out a dagger, decided to take a dangerous move, imitating the ship chiseling water ghost in the sea merchant, and giving these guys a first move.
Just do it after thinking about it. Gu Xiaoyun pours his hands into his hands and stabs towards the bottom of the boat fiercely, but he ignores the resistance of the water. Although the knife was shot quickly, it was unloaded by the water. Inserted into the bottom of the boat, but failed to poke a hole as expected, but shook the boat!
"Who?!"
Gu Xiao's heart is not good, so he rushed out of the water and drew a long knife around his waist. Taking advantage of the momentum, he cut off the oar that was shot by one person's head and slammed his foot on the person's head with a "click". , The man’s neck sank half an inch inward and he couldn’t die anymore.
This room changed, and the remaining two ships immediately turned around. There were already people on the ship bending their bows and shooting arrows. Gu Xiaoxuan swept away the knife, swung away the flying arrows, and kicked the cabin curtain with one kick, unpreparedly, one person would kill him. With seven eyebrow sticks in his hand, even though Gu Xiao escaped the critical point, he got a hit on his shoulder, and immediately the whole left arm was numb.
What surprised him was that the confrontation just now was enough for him to see what was in the boat--just some torn sacks filled with roars, without the smell of gunpowder, let alone a tied rich boy.
With a heartbeat, Gu Xiao looked back when he met, and saw that there was a small boat on the mudflat behind which was blocked by reeds. At this moment, the people on the boat realized that the front had changed and they had abandoned the boat and ran towards the rugged mountain road. A man and a woman kidnapped a teenager.
