master and servant

"The villa is destroyed, why are you safe and sound?" Sun Er asked.

But he couldn't hear the answer.

A series of flying arrows fell all over the sky, Gu Zhihuan slowed down his schedule for the past few days, and his energy will be fully nourished, so he immediately jumped off the horse and flew away to hide.

Sun Er was not so lucky, he managed to jump up from the ground, and hid himself with the horse, but the flying arrow still wounded him in several places.The horse was frightened, excited by the wound, and ran away. Sun Er pulled the saddle up, urged it vigorously, and fled.

The pursuers arrived carelessly.

They all covered their faces with iron masks, and their movements were strange, and they didn't step forward to do close combat. They just used long iron chains and long rings, threw a strong and huge net, and shot at the fugitives one after another. Arrow rain.

Sun Er couldn't escape very far, the galloping horse was blocked by the hook, and immediately fell to his knees with a mournful cry, the huge net trapped him firmly, and after another rain of arrows, he struggled twice and then stopped moving.

Gu Zhi was still dumbfounded, and almost ran away.

But with a slight movement of his feet, the few people closest to him turned their heads.

The black iron mask is cold and expressionless. The eyes are sunken holes, and the pupils cannot be seen clearly, which only makes people feel chills.

He seemed to be staring at the flying mosquitoes in the air, and in the next moment several iron cables shot out across the sky, blocking his way.

"Who are you?" One of these people asked in a cold voice.

Gu Zhi also hurriedly took out the guide, but luckily it wasn't on the saddle, so he didn't have to run over to look for it.

He also didn't really want to see the old man who was shot as a hedgehog.

The questioner didn't even look at the guide, but asked again, "Where's the order of the knight?"

Gu Zhi also recalled that Ji Wuyou had mentioned this thing, and smiled apologetically, "I worked in the Northwest for a few months ago, and I only entered the customs in the beginning of spring, and I haven't had time to get this."

Without even thinking about it, these people threw nets directly at him, raised their crossbow arrows to aim, and pulled the hanging knife as soon as he resisted.

He stood up straight, letting the net wrap him around, trying to show that he was gentle and harmless, but his arms quietly guarded his side, expanding the space of the net so that he could easily move between them.

His honest and cooperative attitude seemed to satisfy the few people, they came up to search him hastily, and hesitated a little after looking at Lu Yin.

Without him, the route opened by the general of the Northwest Army is more convenient to ask for a good horse at the post station, and ordinary people will not get such things.

When they touched the jade box, Gu Zhi stopped him, "I am sent by the Northwest Army to deliver medicinal materials to the palace. If the things inside lack the internal force to melt the ice and snow, the medicinal effect will be lost, and the head on my neck will also lose its effect." If not guaranteed, please ask a few officials to raise their hands high."

This rhetoric combined with his persuasive approach was quite convincing, and the body searchers were not reluctant. The fugitives who surrounded Sun Er over there confirmed that Sun Er was dead, quickly wrapped up his body, cleaned up the bloodstained grass on the ground, Killing the horse with a broken leg, he took off Gu Zhi's luggage from the saddle and threw it over.

Gu Zhi also had a bitter face, "Gentlemen, my horse is a post station, so if I kill it like this, what should I do?"

They ignored him again, tied his hands and dragged him away.

They walked for more than ten miles in this way, and stopped in a village where the city wall of the imperial capital could be seen.

Gu Zhi was also thrown into the cell, squatting obediently; the iron-masked people who performed the task returned to the camp, took off their masks, and handed over the prisoners.

One of them turned around the corner and left. He turned into the main courtyard behind, knocked on the door, and stepped in after getting permission.

"Boss, the escaped man from the former Hongcheng Villa in the south of the Yangtze River was shot dead while resisting arrest. We also captured a passer-by who didn't have a knight order but knew martial arts. He claimed to be They came from the northwest to deliver medicine to the palace."

Their leader put down the Chinese book in his hand, if Gu Zhi still saw him, he would probably be surprised and ask "why don't you guard by the son's side".

He is Gu Zhige.

"It seems? Claiming? Your interrogation level is so low that there are such words? Wait, you are delivering medicine from the northwest..." Gu Zhige thought of something, and pondered for a while, "I'll go and see, don't make a fuss."

From the peephole on the wall, Gu Zhige looked at the person who was sitting against the wall and didn't seem flustered.

Sure enough it was him.

Gu Zhige couldn't help being a little bit troubled, should he follow His Majesty's order and send Gu Zhihan to the Shadow Guard Camp for half a year first, or should he follow His Highness King Jin's order and send him directly to him?

The former would undoubtedly anger His Royal Highness King Jin, but it is doubtful how angry he would be.Gu Zhige knew very well that the two Tianjiazi he had served before and after both had their own opinions but also trusted each other. It is obviously impossible to have a relationship with the emperor for a temporary bedside person or a man.

The latter is quite detrimental to the personal safety of King Jin. This time, the large-scale clean-up of sects in the Jianghu is most afraid of these dead men-they will even pretend to be for revenge, marry and have children who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic for more than ten years, and survive. Become a veteran of the enemy, and then seek revenge; not to mention that this is a blatant disregard for the emperor's decree.

He had a headache for a while, and secretly complained that Gu Zhi didn't let him have a good time, and put him in such a situation - plus Jin Wang usually likes to compare him with Gu Zhi, and the conclusion of the comparison often makes him not so comfortable.

Although the shadow guard is a silent and loyal shadow, he still has personal emotions that he is not aware of.He doesn't like Gu Zhihuan, this guy raises the level of skills needed to be around King Jin, which is not conducive to the survival of others.

If Xie Yusheng knew that his self-regarding insane words had brought about such unintended consequences, maybe he would change?However, this conjecture could not be confirmed.

This headache made Gu Zhige decide to postpone the matter for a while, and submit the report together when he finished dealing with this group of criminals and returning to the palace.At that time, how the emperor and the king of Jin will deal with it will not be decided by such a small person as him.

"Keep an eye on him, don't treat him harshly, and don't please him too much."

Unexpectedly, that night, the ruthless reality dealt a heavy blow to Gu Zhige, who suffered from what later generations call "procrastination".

Gu Zhi thought he would be escorted to the capital soon, but he didn't expect the guards to remain silent.

After the guards went out, the prisoner who was only separated from him by the iron railing began to talk, "Hey, who is your hero? He was assigned to a single cell!"

There are so many prisoners, even if it is a headache that they have to collude in private, they have to lock several people together, and those who can be assigned to a single room are really a great honor in the eyes of the prisoners.

Gu Zhi said innocently, "I'm just an unknown person, and I don't know what happened. I was blowing cold wind in the northwest before, and I was arrested as soon as I came back."

The prisoners laughed loudly, obviously they didn't quite believe his statement that he didn't have much background, but there was a middle-aged man with rough eyebrows, who was interested in another information revealed in his words.

"Didn't Northwest enforce the Knight Order?"

Gu Zhi also replied with a smile, "The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the time to cross the [-]-mile desert is enough for people to throw away everything except food and water, so how can we even bother to bring knight orders to us frontier people?" go."

After hearing this, everyone said that the northwest is indeed vast and bitterly cold, but there are also small and medium-sized countries in oases that are prosperous, and there are also lands rich in water and grass at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.Some people even went on to talk about the local conditions and customs of all over the world with great interest.

Talking about the five lakes and the four seas that I have traveled, all the sorrows of being imprisoned are swept away. Even though they are in prison, their expressions seem to be floating in the wind and swimming in the world.

Gu Zhi was still listening, and couldn't help but be fascinated quietly.

It was night, and Gu Zhi was still asleep, but was awakened by the light knocking sound on the iron railing.

When he opened his eyes, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was squatting in front of his cage, fiddling with the keyhole, grinning at him, the doors of the other cells were also wide open, and the prisoners were moving quietly and being restrained body of.

"Brother, you have caught up with a good day. It seems that you can't sleep in a prison cell for more than a day! If you want to blame them, they don't know that I was a 'thousand-handed gentleman' who was famous in the world 20 years ago, haha."

The Night's Watch at the manor encounters an unexpected rebellion.

No one can tell how these criminals who have been drugged and locked up in the prison cell have come out, and even more can't figure out how the knights who invaded from the inside and outside to rob the prison found this place and what they embraced This kind of determination is an enemy of the government, and the killer will come in.

The lights were dazzled, illuminating the dark night without stars and moon, and the shadows of swords and swords could not be seen clearly. Only the increasingly intense smell of blood spread wantonly along with the sound of fighting.

Gu Zhi didn't want to follow this group of people at first, but when he hesitated and sneaked to a corner where no one was paying attention, and was about to run away by rubbing against the wall, his eyes that were used to seeing things in the dark made him see that he couldn't see things so easily. The scene of leaving.

It was just a half-day friendship, the man who smiled honestly and turned out to be a gangster, widened his eyes, looked back and grabbed a few arrows, but the big knife in his heart was inserted very deep, and soon it was darker than the night The stuff flowed all over the ground along the handle of the knife.

he died.

Gu Zhi also didn't know why he rushed back, fought with the man in the iron mask who killed the man with thick eyebrows, rescued another knight he had never met before, and took advantage of the night to sneak into the fleeing crowd, killing each step, Finally gushed out of the manor.

Its daybreak.

Gu Zhi also found helplessly that he was getting farther and farther away from the capital.
