"I'm sorry, I came back late." Shen Qianshan learned from An Ye's mouth what happened to Gu Qiang during her time in Kyoto. She had endured so much by herself, but she couldn't do anything. It really made him feel like a waste. Ever since he learned about Qian'er's experience, he immediately dealt with everything and rushed back.
"I'm sorry for what! Do you know how worried we were about you before Dark Night came back!" Gu Qiang freely poured out her dissatisfaction on Shen Qianshan's chest, but the big stone in her heart finally let go. That person finally appeared in front of him, and everything he suffered before was rewarded.
Gu Huaian was afraid that people outside would see that they had not been out for a long time and come in to look for them. Although he was embarrassed to interrupt the time the two of them were alone, he still had to say, "Qian'er, Your Majesty, after all, this is not a very convenient place to talk. , now that we have met, there will be many opportunities in the future, so please tidy up a little and let’s go out quickly.”
Only then did Gu Qiang realize their current situation. He wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves and put on the human/skin/mask. "Brother, take a look at it for me. Is there any problem?"
There was no mirror in this place, so we had to rely on Gu Huaian. The three of them struggled for a while before walking out.
"After I return to the capital, I will make a new one for you. You are not as good as me." Gu Qiang sniffed and calmed down before following them out of the woods.
When he went out, Huang Hao was already waiting next to the carriage. When he saw the three of them, he hurriedly greeted them, "Why are you three so lazy? The spies have come back. They said they were in Zhenzhou City. If there is no riot among the people, let’s just clean up and get there. We should be able to enter the city before dark.”
Gu Huaian looked at the sky and said, "Okay, let's speed up and try to get to Zhenzhou as soon as possible."
Song Yu and Zhui Yun followed at the end of the team. Zhui Yun stood at the end of the team and gestured to Gu Huaian. Gu Huaian also understood. It seemed that the troublemaker had been killed by Zhui Yun. It's been dealt with, but I don't know if there are others hiding among this group of people. After all, they still have to be more vigilant to avoid being taken advantage of.
Although Gu Qiang and Shen Qianshan met each other, they could not have any more contact and could only communicate through masks. They only hoped that this day could get over quickly and that after getting rid of Shen Zhongbai, they could live well. It's your own day.
In order to speed up the pace, Huang Hao asked Feng Yao and Gu Huaian to go quickly. He, Song Yu and the others escorted the relief funds and they arrived soon after. Gu Huaian asked Gu Qiang to follow. The three of them knew everything about the situation, and it was good on the road. comminicate.
But they had just arrived at the gate of Zhenzhou City, and the guards at the gate were already preparing to close the door. As soon as the three of them entered, the gate behind them closed with a sound. Gu Huaian looked at the sun that had not yet set, and he couldn't help but wonder. , why did the gate of Zhenzhou City close so early
"Something's not quite right, let's go in first."
Shen Qianshan frowned. This matter was definitely not as simple as they saw. It was already a severe drought and famine, and the people in the city were displaced. Why did they close the city gate so early
As soon as they entered the city, they felt that something was even more wrong. The entire Zhenzhou City did not seem to be filled with refugees as they imagined. Relatively speaking, the situation here was actually better than outside the city. It was really disappointing. People are a little confused.
The three people dismounted and led the horses to walk on the street. The whole street was deserted and clean, and it didn't look like it had been affected by a disaster. The three people had to be more vigilant.
"It's impossible. I've been to Zhenzhou before. Even if it's a small town, it's definitely not so deserted, with no one around." Shen Qianshan muttered to himself and got close to the ground to listen to see if there was anyone around. After a while, he stood up and said, "Over here."
Walking along the street, the number of people gradually began to increase. It was not a market at night, but there were a lot of people gathering in this place. Although Gu Qiang was not that interested in watching the excitement, she could I'm also very curious about what so many people gathered together are looking at.
Gu Qiang stopped an old woman and said, "Madam, what are you doing? Why are so many people gathered?"
But the old woman who was stopped by Gu Qiang didn't seem to want to mention the matter. She just waved her hand and said to Gu Qiang, "It's evil, it's evil!"
Shen Qianshan understood that famine would follow a severe drought, and that cholera was a normal thing in the city, but why the old woman seemed to have seen something terrible and refused to mention it was really confusing to them.
There were too many people gathered in front, and they couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of them. In addition, the surrounding area was relatively flat, so there was no place to help them, and they couldn't use Qinggong.
Shen Qianshan frowned, and seemed to have no good solution. He turned his head and looked at Gu Qiang, thinking about it, and before she could react, he directly lifted her up. Gu Qiang was suddenly caught. He grabbed his belt and was shocked when Shen Qianshan gathered over his head. Before he could scream, he heard Shen Qianshan's voice.
"This is relatively high. Can you see what happened in front?"
The way Gu Qiang was held by her belt was really uncomfortable, but she could indeed see more clearly. A man dressed in black and wearing a mask was jumping up and down on the execution ground in the middle of the crowd. He really looked like those Like a heavenly master who claims to be able to subjugate demons and catch ghosts, Gu Qiang's eyes were stimulated by the bright red blood before she could understand it.
Shen Qianshan noticed that the person he was holding had no reaction. He thought it was his own behavior, which frightened her. He quickly put Gu Qiang down, but found that her eyes were dull, as if It's like seeing something you shouldn't see.
"Qian'er, what did you see?"
Gu Huaian quickly put his hand on Gu Qiang's wrist and found that her pulse was extremely fast. He motioned to Shen Qianshan in front of him with his eyes. Shen Qianshan didn't hesitate. After taking a few steps outside, he rushed directly to the teahouse behind. shelf.
Only then did Shen Qianshan see the scene in the middle of the crowd. The woman on the ground was kneeling in a daze, but her head had already fallen to the ground. The table was covered with blood, which seemed to be splashed far away. Shen Qianshan also I couldn't accept it for a while, so I suppressed my nausea and jumped off the shelf.
Gu Huaian didn't know what happened, but when he saw Shen Qianshan's embarrassed expression, he immediately shut up. Shen Qianshan seemed to slow down and quickly grabbed Gu Huaian's wrist, "No, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time." , we have to go out first."
When Shen Qianshan saw it, the woman's head had already fallen to the ground. What Qian'er saw was probably the way the magical wizard cut off the woman's head. No wonder she was frightened.
The three people returned along the same route, but the city gate had been closed. The two soldiers guarding the city gate were standing at the door, looking like they were not very talkative. Shen Qianshan was not sure what happened in the city for the time being, so he did not dare If you stay in the city any longer, you can only take the risk and open the city gate yourself.
Gu Qiang had calmed down now. Seeing Shen Qianshan knocking out the two guards, he became more cautious and said, "Don't worry, we can take one person away so that we can ask what happened." whats the matter."
Shen Qianshan looked at the person lying on the ground and nodded to Gu Qiang, "Okay, but we may have to hurry up, otherwise the people led by General Huang will enter the city."
Gu Huaian looked serious. The situation in Zhenzhou City was very likely to be completely different from what they had expected. The severe drought might be true, but it was also true that someone wanted to use this opportunity to confuse people.
Gu Huaian didn't dare to delay. After all, there was disaster relief money on the car. If the situation in Zhenzhou was completely different from what local officials reported, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth? Guan Huanan has never been as grateful for their decision as they are today. Keeping Huang Hao this time will not only allow them to meet Shen Qianshan, but may also help them when hanging the accessories.
The three of them hurried back in the opposite direction, and not far away, they happened to meet Huang Hao.
Huang Hao saw the three of them rushing back, and immediately brought another person with him. He quickly asked, "Didn't you go into the city? Why did you come out again?"
Gu Huaian didn't have time to explain more, so he quickly shook his head, "No, things have changed. We have to think about it in the long term. We can't go in now."
You must not enter the city rashly until the matter is understood. If someone is plotted against you, everyone here will probably have to get involved. Since ancient times, beauty has misled the country, and witchcraft has misled the people. Gu Huai'an has also read no books. The young master naturally knows the power of these witchcraft to confuse people's hearts.
As soon as Song Yu saw the stop in front of him, he immediately came over and said, "Master Gu, what happened again? Aren't we almost at the city gate?"
It was actually the first time for Song Yu to do such a thing. He originally thought that as soon as he arrived in Zhenzhou and delivered the disaster relief to the local government office, his mission would be completed. However, he did not expect that he would be stopped again when he was about to arrive in Zhenzhou. down.
Feng Yao looked at Song Yu defensively, "Where is the person who went to inquire about the news just now?"
Huang Hao touched his head and pointed to a person behind him, "Isn't that right..."
The soldier who was called came out in a panic, "General, I was the one who came over just now. Did something happen?"
Gu Huaian was relieved when he saw that this person was still there. At least it proved that the people in his team were not the same group as the people in Zhenzhou City.
