Huang Ting

At Yinshi, Yancheng was half asleep. Only a few people and servants in the city had woken up, sorting out the housework at home, and preparing for work during the day. The vast majority of Yancheng residents were still asleep, and the streets remained deserted.

Quiet environment.

Ta da, da da.

The sound of horse hooves, coupled with the sound of wheels hitting stones, was amplified by the quiet Yancheng, making it even more harsh and disturbing, waking up the residents along the way. The carriage went from the palace to the west of Yancheng, crossing the entire Yancheng, carrying

The sound also forced Yancheng to wake up early.

Many people came out of their homes with disheveled hair and red eyes, but they could only see a arrogant streak of smoke, and the carriage that disturbed people's dreams had long since disappeared.

······

"Uncle, uncle."

After having a hearty chat with Hu Xiuwu last night and deducing the subsequent plan, Gao Gu, who had just laid down on the cave to rest after midnight, was woken up by a burst of exclamation.

Gao Gu struggled to open his dry eyes and struggled to sit up from the bed.

Bang!

The door of Gao Gu's room was pushed open by Gao Lu,

"uncle."

Gao Gu was still awake. Gao Lu's shouting gave him a headache. He covered his forehead with his hands and said tiredly:

"What happened? You're yelling."

In the past, Gao Lu would not have come to disturb Gao Gu while he was resting, but the matter was urgent and he could not make up his mind, so he could only come to Gao Gu. In order to make Gao Gu understand the importance of the matter, he only briefly explained the key points.

of a sentence:

"King Kucha is here and has reached the gate!"

Gao Gu didn't wake up and didn't react immediately. After Gao Lu's words passed through his mind, it was like a basin of cold water poured on his face, which made him wake up instantly.

"What did you say? King Kucha is here!"

Gao Lu then narrated the story to Gao Lu very quickly:

"Yes, the brothers who were patrolling outside this morning found a four-carriage carriage guarded by a group of Kucha cavalry. One of the brothers recognized that the carriage was the vehicle of King Kucha. Knowing that the matter was serious, he came over quickly.

notice me."

"I can't make up my mind either, so I can only inform uncle."

King Qiuci came to Gao's house at such a strange time. It was definitely not because of the matters that Gao had discussed with him before. I'm afraid the person who came was not good-natured.

Gao Lu was worried: "Uncle, do you think King Qiuci knows about Xiu Wu?"

Gao Gu frowned and said: "It's not impossible, but King Kucha paid a low-key visit early in the morning instead of sending a large army to surround him. This shows that the matter has not reached an irreversible point. We should first welcome King Kucha into the mansion."

All the Zakrama tribe are ordinary people. Although Hu Xiuwu's formation has been more or less noticed by all the strangers in the city, Gao Gu and Gao Lu still know nothing about it.

Although there was a lack of information, Gao Gu turned the matter over in his mind and had an idea.

King Qiuci did not raise an army and mobilized a large number of people, but there was still a chance of turning around if he put up a posture of encirclement and suppression. Then the Gao family could not be the first to show hostility and make King Qiuci furious.

In the territory of Kucha, it is not a good idea to anger the King of Kucha.

Gao Gu thought of this silent sigh and sighed secretly:

It is still inevitable that people are stronger. If the Gao family can have a few true members of their own who are strangers, why would they have to survive in such a tightrope?

Gao Gu put on his walking boots and walked out of the house with disheveled hair. Seeing this, Gao Lu quickly followed him out.

Suddenly, Gao Gu thought of something, pulled Gao Lu to his side, whispered to him, and handed him a few steel balls.

On the way back from Prince Gumo's mansion, Hu Xiuwu saw that Gao Yue was very eager to be treated as a hundred forged steel beads by him. Hu Xiuwu found a few scattered beads for him from the ghost tomb. Gao Yue felt like a treasure. Unfortunately, Gao Yue later

So after he found out about it, he took it in.

After giving Gao Lu some instructions, Gao Gu said: "If the situation is urgent, you should act according to the plan."

"Here."

Outside the Gao Family Courtyard,

A group of Qiuci cavalry surrounded the gate of the Gao family, standing with their swords drawn and stern expressions on their faces; all the people of the Gao family came out, and even Gao Ji was among the crowd, led by Gao Yue and guarding the gate.

When Gao Gu arrived,

What I saw was the scene of a silent confrontation between the two sides. The atmosphere between the two sides was so solemn and oppressive that even the morning breeze could not blow. It was quieter than Yancheng at night, and even the sound of wind and the chirping of insects could not be heard.

Suddenly seeing this scene, Gao Gu's expression did not change, and he calmly walked towards the carriage that Zeluo was riding in. When passing by Gao Yue, Gao Gu even stretched out his hand to press on his shoulders, asking Gao Yue, whose muscles were tense, to relax and not to talk to him.

The people in Kucha showed hostility.

Then, Gao Gu calmly walked past the Qiuci guard with a fierce look in his eyes and a sword in his hand.

Gao Gu came to the carriage and shouted: "Gao Gu has seen King Qiuci!"

The people in the carriage sat in the carriage and made no sound. Only the curtains hanging on the carriage floated out of the carriage strangely without wind, as if there was wind blowing from the inside to the outside of the carriage.

Gao Gu kept his posture motionless and was not impatient. His mind was as clear as a mirror, knowing that this was another threat from Zeluo.

There was no movement in the carriage, and the atmosphere became heavier and heavier. Beads of sweat broke out on Gao Ji's forehead, and Gao Lu subconsciously tightened his grip on his waist bag.

After an unknown amount of time, Zeluo came out of the carriage laughing loudly:

"Haha, after the sage said goodbye during the day, I thought about it and decided that I should visit you in person to meet you. I have not visited your home for so many years."

Gao Gu said with a smile: "King Qiuci's great presence has brought glory to the humble house."

Zeluo was a little relieved to see Gao Gu with disheveled hair and even his shoes before he came out to greet him. He felt that Gao Gu was still very respectful to him. He hugged Gao Gu and laughed and said, "The sage actually said

Something I don’t understand.”

The two of them walked arm in arm, ignoring the tense atmosphere around them.

On the other hand, people from Qiuci and the Gao family clearly followed Zeluo and Gao Gu, and the group returned to the Gao family compound in a mighty manner.

Gao Gu retreated half of Zeluo's body and led Zeluo all the way to the depths of the Gao Family Mansion. Since Zeluo didn't tell him his purpose, he was happy to pretend to be stupid and carefully introduced the buildings along the way to him.

.

Zeluo seemed to be really curious about the structure of the Gao family. When Gao Gu was explaining it to him, he would ask questions from time to time.

After Gao Gu ignored Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo's small courtyard in an understatement, Zeluo suddenly said:

"Why didn't the sage introduce these two small courtyards to me?"

Sure enough, Zeluo came for Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo, but why did he choose this time?

Gao Gu had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it: "Oh, those are just two guest rooms that are the same as the ones I introduced to you before. There is no difference."

"Oh, I'm quite interested in this place."

Zeluo seemed to be talking to Gao Gu or talking to himself. After speaking, he ignored Gao Gu and went straight to the small courtyard where Hu Xiuwu was.

Gao Guze followed behind Zeluo with heavy steps. Gao Yue and Gao Gu had a tacit understanding for many years. As soon as they saw his posture, they knew that the situation below was probably not optimistic.

Gao Yue quietly put his hand into the bag on his waist,

But Gao Gu did not hope that there would be a conflict between the two sides today. He knew that if Hu Xiuwu was around, if there was a conflict, it would not necessarily be them who would suffer.

But once they fight, Hu Xiuwu will inevitably become enemies with Zeruo, and conflicts will arise between the two parties, but Jingjue will be happy.

Seeing that Zeluo was resolute, Gao therefore had no choice but to make a dangerous move.

Gao Gu glanced at Gao Lu. Upon seeing this, Gao Lu followed Gao Gu's instructions and quietly disappeared into the crowd.

Zeluo, the man with the golden sword, walked in front and rushed into the courtyard at the lead. Only two familiar boys and girls were seen standing opposite each other in the courtyard, talking and laughing.

Hu Xiuwu was chatting with Chen Duo. He and Chen Duo agreed to keep in touch after returning to modern times. When he saw Zeluo rushing in with great force, he was not surprised, but he was still a little unhappy.

Standing with his sword in his hand, after Hu Xiuwu accepted the order from Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu, his momentum was as extraordinary as before. Even when faced with the arrogant Ze Luo, he still did not fall behind.

Hu Xiuwu looked at Zeluo who looked like a lion:

"You must be the one who just explored the courtyard. I didn't expect that such a strong man like you could be so ethereal and melodious. You really can't tell the difference between appearance and appearance."
