There were more assassins in the other wave, Gu Jiao counted them, there were six in total, and everyone exuded a very powerful aura, and Gu Jiao felt familiar.
The three of them hid one bird on a leafy branch. Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng held their breaths. Gu Jiao covered her aunt's breath with her hand, but she didn't cover her to death, but she could maximally block the sound.
Seeing Gu Jiao covering her, Xiao Jiu rolled her bird's eyes, spread her wings, and covered her bird's head.
Gu Chengfeng on the side: ... No, you are a bird, what are you doing to cover yourself
The group of people didn't know that Gu Jiao was on the tree, but they just assumed that they were going forward again, and they used light work to chase forward.
After confirming that the person was far away, Gu Chengfeng spoke up: "What should I do now?"
The carriage is gone, and the horses have also run away. Can't they walk back to the capital on a few legs
It's a bit far from the capital, and it takes several hours to go back and forth. If you really want to go back, you have to break their legs.
"Wait until dawn." Gu Jiao said.
Although it is easy to hide one's figure while walking at night, a few people suddenly appearing in the night are easily suspicious, and the slightest movement will be invisibly magnified.
There are many people on the road during the day, and they are not easy to be found in the crowd.
"Just... sit on a tree and wait?" Gu Chengfeng asked.
While the two were talking, a poisonous snake spit out snake letters and slowly approached them.
The poisonous snake was closest to Gu Jiao.
Just as it opened its mouth with fangs and bit Gu Jiao's neck, Xiao Jiuyi's wings slapped it flying!
It's obviously not realistic to stay in a tree overnight, not to mention these poisonous snakes and insects, just in case they accidentally fall from the tree while squinting.
"Eh? There seems to be a cave over there." Gu Jiao looked at the foot of the mountain to the south and said, "Let's go and have a look!"
The three went to the foot of the mountain south of the forest, and there really was a cave.
"Someone lived there." Gu Jiao took out the fire book and said, looking at the firewood and dry grass on the ground.
"There are people living in this kind of place?" Gu Chengfeng pouted.
"I lived a long time ago, so I should have just passed by." Gu Jiao simply cleaned up the cave, gathered the withered grass, and said to Gu Chengfeng, "Let my aunt sit here."
The cave was gloomy and cold, and Empress Dowager Zhuang should have caught the cold by sitting directly on the ground at her age. Fortunately, there were dead grass left by the predecessors.
"Oh." Gu Chengfeng put the sleeping Empress Dowager Zhuang down and let her sit gently on the haystack. Gu Jiao sat down next to her aunt and let her lean on her shoulders.
Gu Chengfeng, a big man, could only sit on the ground. Although he was the number one thief in the capital, he was a rich thief. He suffered from physical pain, not life.
Therefore, this environment is a bit tormenting for him, but there is no way to do it.
Xiao Jiu landed on a big tree to watch.
Gu Jiao put away the fire book, and the cave fell into darkness again, and the cool and thin moonlight came in, making the cave silent.
Gu Chengfeng broke the silence in the cave, he picked up a dead branch on the ground and scratched on the ground boringly: "You said... Why did Concubine Jing do this? Why does she target the queen mother everywhere? Just because she failed to become the queen mother? But if she hadn't gone all the way to the dark with the queen mother, the queen mother would not have given her a queen mother, right?"
It is not too uncommon for two empress dowagers to appear at the same time, one is the emperor's mother, and the other is the emperor's biological mother. This is the case with the founding queens Zhao and Xun.
Gu Jiao thought for a while: "Because of jealousy?"
Jealousy drives people crazy, and you never know what unreasonable things a jealous woman can do.
"Because of hatred."
Empress Dowager Zhuang's voice sounded unhurriedly.
Gu Jiao turned her head: "Auntie, are you awake?"
"Well." Empress Dowager Zhuang slowly straightened up. In the darkness, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were cold, "She is a remnant of the previous dynasty."
Snapped!
As soon as Gu Chengfeng exerted force, the branch in his hand was broken, and he said incredulously: "Remains of the former, former dynasty?"
The previous dynasty has been destroyed for two hundred years, and there are still remnants, it is terrible!
"Did my aunt already know?" Gu Jiao asked.
Empress Dowager Zhuang shook her head: "I just know."
On the carriage, Concubine Jing showed her the bracelet, the sleeves were pulled higher, and she accidentally caught a glimpse of the dove blood tattoo on Concubine Jing's arm.
There has always been a tattoo on her arm. It used to be a peony, but today I saw it and realized it was a red flame totem.
Thinking that the peony was painted by her to cover up the red flame totem, no wonder she immediately gave Ning An a trick to paint a begonia makeup on the scar when Ning An broke his face. It turned out to be a usual trick.
Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "That totem is the emblem of the dead man of the previous dynasty, a bit like a basalt tattoo on Long Yingwei's face."
Although they were all dead men, the former dead men were not like Long Yingwei who were just downright murdering tools. They were more like masters in the big house, and they were both counselors and scouts.
Gu Jiao suddenly realized: "No wonder she is so good at it." It turned out to be a dead man.
Empress Dowager Zhuang continued: "The real dead men of the previous dynasty no longer exist. Strictly speaking, they are the descendants of the dead men of the previous dynasty. The original purpose of the late emperor when he bought the dead men from Yan State to train Long Yingwei was to hunt and kill them. The dead man in the previous dynasty is almost killed, who would have expected a fish that slipped through the net."
Gu Chengfeng opened his mouth: "Then... Yong Enbo... "
Today's Yong Enbo is the nephew of Princess Jing.
Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted: "Do you think everyone is qualified to be a rebel? It's impossible for Yong Enbo's straw bag to be favored by the former party members, but Concubine Jing's own brother is a bit hard to figure out, but it's a pity that he fell ill early. ."
Otherwise, who can say that the capital will not have a second Master Zhuang
Gu Chengfeng was shocked beyond words. If it wasn't for the Queen Mother to say it herself, who would have expected such a terrifying stake in the back of a small concubine Jing.
He couldn't believe it!
"Then... Then did she take your old man to the frontier this time because there are remnants of the former dynasty there too? Is she going to join them? The palace can't stay any longer, so she simply pulled away in time. She, she is going to... "
The word "rebellion" was suffocated by Gu Chengfeng.
It seems that he should not interfere with the government.
Empress Dowager Zhuang did not deliberately hide it: "For the time being, it can be inferred that the frontier fortress is a place of suffering, and the imperial court does not strictly control it. If you want to raise troops, it is the most suitable place."
Gu Chengfeng suddenly heard the inside story that even his grandfather and eldest brother couldn't hear, and his mood was really indescribable: "But, she has been in contact with the frontier for so many years, isn't there any suspicion? She..." Gu Chengfeng paused.
He remembered that Princess Ning An was married to the frontier.
He sighed: "She's really calculating."
Princess Ning'an's marriage was her plan from the very beginning. The man who made Princess Ning'an fall in love at first sight, the man who loved Princess Ning'an with his life, was also a pawn of Princess Jing.
"How can there be such a cold-blooded person? Princess Ning An is too pitiful." Gu Chengfeng didn't know what to say.
Empress Dowager Zhuang closed her eyes, and there was a flash of water on her eyelashes.
Xiao Jiu fluttered her wings and flew over and landed on Gu Jiao's lap.
Gu Jiao understood, her eyes turned cold, and she said, "They're chasing after them!"
Gu Chengfeng's face changed: "So fast!"
"Go!" Gu Jiao helped her aunt up.
Gu Chengfeng turned around and carried her aunt on her back. Gu Jiao tied her belt around her aunt and him in order to free up his hands.
Seeing that her posture was wrong, Gu Chengfeng frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"
Gu Jiao said, "I'm going to divert them away, take your aunt away!"
"No! It's okay to cite..."
He wanted to say that he was going to lead, but Gu Jiao had already rushed out.
In fact, he also understands that this is the best arrangement - he is good at taking people away quickly, and Gu Jiao is very skilled and can delay them to the greatest extent possible.
Gu Chengfeng is not an indecisive person. If he delays any longer, no one will be able to leave.
He carried his aunt on his back and performed light work to sink into the night in the opposite direction.
…
In the Maolin, Gu Jiao met the group.
She finally knew where the familiarity came from. These people's moves and murderous aura were too similar to Long Yingwei.
After concubine Jing got Long Yingwei, she asked Long Yingwei to duel with the masters below, and asked someone to secretly analyze Long Yingwei's martial arts, and trained her own "Dragon Yingwei".
Compared with the real Long Yingwei, it is naturally a bit worse, but it is still much more powerful than the ordinary masters.
Gu Jiao's body was quickly injured, and blood flowed down her arm.
Her purpose was not to fight for her life. After delaying for so long, this group of people should not be able to catch up with Gu Chengfeng.
Gu Jiao blasted a bloody path with the black fire bead and ran into the depths of the Maolin.
One of the men in black resisted the pain, pulled out the bow and arrow, and shot at Gu Jiao's heart.
Xiao Jiu fluttered his wings, and with the fierceness and swiftness of the sky overlord, he grabbed the arrow with one paw!
Fourth shift, are you happy
