It is said that there are two women, but apart from wearing women's clothing, there is no appearance of a woman at all.

The two stood up slowly from behind the bricks. Their figures were much wider than the woman's, and their height was about the same as Gu Junci's. They really didn't look like girls, especially the fierceness and danger in their eyes, which made Gu Junci Had to be alert.

Gu Junci looked at their appearance, and chuckled lightly: "Aren't you a gentleman, why are you dressed like this, are you a fugitive prisoner, what are you doing hiding here?"

The two looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, they grabbed the knife at hand and slashed at the four of them, fighting desperately.

Gu Junci's expression was slightly stern, and he protected the young masters and hid on both sides. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Yuan and the other two naturally wouldn't allow Gu Junci to fight against two, so they all drew their swords out of their sheaths , Divided the offensive of those two people.

Originally, it was easy for them to lose with one against two, but they were not easy to perform because they were wearing women's clothing, so they were defeated, and the determination to die generously was written in their eyes.

Gu Junci was very puzzled: "What's the matter with you two, just let it go if there is a misunderstanding, there is no need to do it, and besides the four of us, you can't beat us."

The two people who had been disarmed still looked at them with dangerous and alert eyes. After a long time, one of them clasped his fists and said:

"Some of you just called the Second Young Master Xiao, may I ask you, is it the Second Young Master Xiao from the Lanling Xiao Clan?"

Hearing this, Gu Junci turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan stepped forward and bowed to them: "I'm Xiao Yuan, I don't know you two, what's the matter?"

Seeing Xiao Yuan admitting his identity, the two men disguised as women were also a little unbelievable, and immediately returned to Xiao Yuan by cupping their fists. The one who spoke first said:

"My lord, Huo Situ, this is my righteous brother Yang Junfang. Because of some things, we had to change our disguise and hide here. We offended you so much. Please forgive me."

Xu Yanqing on the side looked surprised, and then said pleasantly: "It turns out that the two are the famous Zhuozhou duo, Huo Yang God arrest."

Gu Junci didn't quite understand, Xie Suiyun saw Gu Junci's doubts, and said in a cold voice:

"It turned out to be the two arresters of Zhuozhou Prefecture. Because of their outstanding political achievements, they were called Zhuozhou Shuangxiong. For a while, those who did evil in the rivers and lakes did not dare to take a step closer to Zhuozhou Prefecture. The court should have I don't know how the two of you are dressed up and hid here." Huo Situ glanced sideways at Yang Junfang, then clasped his fists and said, "All this will be bestowed by the Prime Minister."

Hearing these resentful words, Xie Suiyun's expression turned cold immediately. If Gu Junci hadn't stopped him quickly with sharp eyesight, he would have immediately revealed his identity and fought them again.

Xiao Yuan also noticed Xie Suiyun's small movements, but he still wanted to find out why the two people in front of him dressed up like this.

Yang Junfang said: "The Prime Minister once advised His Majesty that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is infinite, and the Qionghua scenery is even worse than Luoyang Peony. However, considering the bumpy land, he proposed to build a canal for dragon boats to go to the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy the Qionghua scenery."

"What does this have to do with you guys dressing up like this today and hiding here?" Gu Junci said.

Huo Situ sighed: "It is not an easy task to build a canal. In addition to the consumption of money and food from the treasury, there is also the expenditure of manpower. In a year, countless manpower died in the canal."

Speaking of this, Huo Situ's throat tightened slightly, and he turned his head away. Yang Junfang continued:

"Brother Huo and I are the head catchers of the Zhuozhou government office, but due to the lack of manpower to build the canal, the higher-ups issued an order to send those people in the death cells of the various state capitals to escort the canal to build the canal in time for the construction period, but what I didn't expect was that Even so, it has far filled the manpower needed to build the canal. The lord of the state capital came up with an idea, regardless of the crimes committed by the people, they will all be sentenced to death and sent to death row, and finally sent to the construction site for digging the canal .”

Several people looked a little surprised, and Gu Junci couldn't help saying: "This is an abuse of power, and people's lives are ignored."

"But the master of the state capital has collected the money, so he only needs to pay enough people to the canal construction site." Huo Situ said.

Xiao Yuan frowned: "Lawless."

Yang Junfang continued: "Brother Huo and I were on the way to be escorted, and I couldn't bear them to go and never return, so we simply kept doing nothing, let all those people go, and returned to tell them that they met robbers on the way. These people were all taken away."

Xu Yanqing looked at them: "As a result, the master of the state government doesn't believe it?"

The two of them nodded, and Huo Situ said: "Not only did he not believe it, but he also told Brother Yang and me to get those people back. Since we let go of those innocent people, we naturally wouldn't arrest them." We caught them back, so we angered those masters, but fortunately we are pretty good at it, and we get along well with those brothers on weekdays, so we changed our clothes and hid here, thinking about going to Lanling tomorrow to seek refuge with Lord Liang Guogong."

Hearing what they said, Gu Junci showed a smile: "Second Young Master Xiao, do you accept Lanling?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Gu Junci's smiling face, nodded slightly, and then looked at them and said: "We are going to Hanyang Pass to rescue His Majesty, if you want to go, you can come with us, if you don't want to, you can hold mine Go to Lanling in handwriting."

Yang Junfang and Huo Situ looked at each other for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Since you want to take refuge in Liang Guogong, you should show your hand. This time, I will go to Hanyang Pass with the second young master to rescue him. After listening to the second young master's order."

Xiao Yuan stood upright, watching the two of them bowing to each other in unison, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

On the contrary, Gu Junci sighed, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Sure enough, it is the second son of Xiao. With the name of the Lanling Xiao family, it is convenient to do things. I got two helpers in a short while."

Just as Xiao Yuan was about to refute his words, he heard Huo Situ laughing: "Young master, although I don't know your name, but I just saw it. Your skill is not weak. It is better than my two brothers. If there is someone in the future Opportunities, we must make good use of them.”

Gu Junci clasped his fists together and saluted: "Sure, if there is a chance."

Looking at these three people, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but sigh, and then suggested that he should change back into men's attire. Wearing women's clothes with their physiques would be unsightly no matter how you look at it.

The bonfire in the ruined temple was burning vigorously, but Xie Suiyun stood at the gate of the ruined temple with a gloomy face, looking at the vast night sky with a gloomy expression.

Gu Junci held his sword and stood beside Xie Suiyun, looking at the sky with him: "Are you worried about your father?"

Xie Suiyun didn't answer directly: "My father is in the position of prime minister. Naturally, many people regard him as an enemy, and even seriously hurt him, but he is just a loyal courtier. He dare not question the high-ranking person, so all The sewage was pouring towards my father."

Gu Junci looked at him sideways: "So, you are worried about them saying that your father advised your majesty to go to the south of the Yangtze River to see the magnificent scenery of Qionghua."

Xie Suiyun met his eyes: "But it is His Majesty who issued the imperial edict, right? If he is not willing, my father will not force him to go, will he?"

Gu Junci didn't know what to say for a while.

Xie Suiyun said: "People in the world are afraid of him, but they slander him. Because I am the son of the prime minister, they are also afraid of me, but they will arrange me behind their backs. I also know it, but he is my father. believe him."

Gu Junci just stared at him quietly, recalling that when they first met, Xie Suiyun had always treated everyone with a disdainful attitude, thinking that he was just a dude, relying on his status as a high-ranking father to show his prestige.

But he didn't think that he actually understood everything, even his arrogance was to express his trust in his father, so he never cared about other people's opinions.

After a while, Gu Jun resigned and said: "Go in and have a rest, we have to go to Hanyang Pass tomorrow morning."

Xie Suiyun didn't answer him, but just turned around and sat down next to the campfire holding his sword.

The nights in early summer are still a little bit cool. When the morning light is slightly dewed, the bonfires are extinguished and there are wisps of smoke, exuding bursts of burnt smell.

Huo Situ and Yang Junfang, who had changed back into men's clothes, also came back from outside with their horses. Xie Suiyun was thinking about Hanyangguan's father and His Majesty the Emperor, and became more and more taciturn along the way.

It was already noon when the group of six arrived at Hanyang Pass at high speed, and the people fighting outside the city were the troops of the Xu family in Yunzhong who had rushed to support them in advance, and the leader of the army was Xu Yi, Marquis of Jingbian.

Inside the Hanyang Pass, in the government office of the General Military Mansion, the emperor sat in the main hall with a gloomy face. Prime Minister Xie, the general soldier of Hanyang Guan, and all his subordinates stood in the room with solemn expressions. The soldiers rushed to report, It was about the arrival of Mr. Xie's son and the second son of Xiao's family.

Hearing Xie Suiyun's arrival, Prime Minister Xie's face showed a little joy, and he hurriedly bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Yun'er is here. In this battle, we will definitely win a big victory over those barbarians in Rong and Di."

The emperor pulled back his sleeves, and the originally gloomy eyebrows relaxed a little more at this moment. He raised his head and saw the group of six people coming.

Hearing them salute to him in the hall, the emperor said: "Why are you here?"

Xie Suiyun saluted and said: "Your Majesty and father were suffering in Hanyang Pass, and the ministers will naturally have to travel day and night to come to rescue him."

Xiao Yuan saluted: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the Xiao Clan in Lanling will be able to rescue you at Hanyang Pass tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and his eyes fell on Gu Junci: "You are not guarding Qian'er, what are you doing here?"

Gu Junci: "The princess is worried about your majesty's safety, so she specially ordered a lowly official to come to rescue him. There must be no mistakes."

The emperor smiled lightly: "It's my daughter after all, that's all. But there is a tricky thing right now. The troops of Rong and Di are coming fiercely. Marquis Jingbian is now meeting the enemy outside the city. You can only come here, now that you are here, you might as well think of a countermeasure and let Rong Di retreat quickly."
