Huang Qiong did not show the slightest surprise on the other party's face. He glanced at Kou Chongguan's back from the side of his head and found that the man was also holding a horse. He was immediately unconscious You, with his eyes closed. No snow.
"Where are the others? Where are your boxes? What happened to Miss You?" Zhuge Yan kicked Huang Qiong away from the threshold and faced Kou Chongguan with three questions.
"Myherbox?"
Kou Chongguan, who was asked, seemed to have a lot of emotions welling up in his chest all at once, and he was stammering and didn't know where to start.
Zhuge Yan stepped away from Kou Chongguan impatiently and went to check on You Weixue who was lying on the horse. She first probed the woman's nose and found that she was still breathing, and her solemn expression softened a little. But then his eyebrows raised, and it turned out that there was a large area of ??bright red on You Weixue's chest.
"She's injured!" Zhuge Yan was about to touch You Weixue's chest rashly, but suddenly stretched out a hand diagonally inward and grabbed her jade wrist.
¡°There are a lot of people talking here! Let¡¯s talk after we enter the room!¡±
Zhuge Yan shook off Huang Qiong's hand, snorted coldly, and then entered the inn without looking back, obviously agreeing with his statement!
*******
¡°It¡¯s so miserable when we fight!¡±
Kou Chongguan drank a bowl of water and roared at the top of his lungs. Opposite him were Zhuge Yan and Huang Qiong.
Zhuge Yan had an anxious look on her face, obviously eager to know the circumstances of her departure, while Huang Qiong looked like it had nothing to do with him, and his eyes were wandering around. It even landed on You Weixue's towering chest lying on the bed from time to time.
He is really a hateful pervert who is full of lies!
Zhuge Yan didn¡¯t bother to lament why he met so many unkind people, but he always met some people with such bad character. After sternly glaring at Huang Qiong and the others, making them retract their sly gazes, he turned to Kou Chongguan and said, "Don't say it's miserable! Looking at your dejected look now, I knew it. Why don't you use it?" I need you to tell me! I mean what happened to the men in black who were chasing us and the treasure chests you escorted!"
"Thosethose men in black, there are twenty-eight of them in total. According to our sister You, they are probably the twenty-eight killing stars of the Blue Dragon Society. I killed two of them, and the head catcher killed three. , the other three brothers also lost the lives of six people. And Sister You" Kou Chongguan said this, glanced at You Weixue and said, "Sister You not only killed six people, but also used The secret method to reveal the overdraft potential. Seriously injured the leader. It was also with her final blow that the men in black retreated."
Zhuge Yan was startled for a moment and said: "You said 'three brothers changed the lives of six people', which means they all of them"
Kou Chongguan's eyes also became moist and he nodded heavily, "That's right! They have all gone, and even Xiao Yi who went to explore the way beforeis no longer here!"
I heard that someone died unexpectedly. Zhuge Yan felt as if something was blocked in her heart. She glared at Huang Qiong fiercely and placed most of the blame on this person. This man is obviously a master who hides his secrets, why is he unwilling to save others?
Huang Qiong innocently shrank his neck, obviously a little frightened by Zhuge Yan's murderous eyes. He had no choice but to change the subject and said: "ThisBrother Kou, right? Then you guys are going to fight. Did you save the box in the end?"
Zhuge Yan was also heartbroken when he heard this, and he was obviously very concerned about this issue.
"The box is gone!" Kou Chongguan said calmly. Although he felt a little discouraged, it was far less sad than when he mentioned the death of his companion.
"No more!" Zhuge Yan screamed, and her whole body almost jumped up from the chair. Huang Qiong tapped the door with his finger in time, signaling that the partition wall had ears. Zhuge Yan then patiently lowered her voice and said, "Why is it gone?"
"It's gone, it's gone! When those men in black retreated, there were still about a dozen of them, but Sister You was at the end of her strength. Of course, I could only stay by her side and watch the men in black pull the box!"
Kou Chongguan's words were reasonable, but they sounded so awkward to Zhuge Yan's ears. Yes, Kou Chongguan and his party risked their lives just to protect this box, but now that it has been unfortunately lost, why can't they feel any trace of frustration or regret?
Kou Chongguan also noticed the doubts in Zhuge Yan's mind. He clasped his hands tightly, as if he was struggling with some important decision, but finally whispered: "Actually, there is only one mechanism box in the box. Master Captor, you Do you know the machine box?"
Machine box?
Zhuge Yan thought about it for a moment. She had seen some in the treasury of the Hou Mansion, which were boxes locked with specific mechanisms. There were usually?To put some important items.
Seeing Zhuge Yan nod, Kou Chongguan glanced at Huang Qiong. Zhuge Yan was startled for a moment, and then ordered: "You! Go and guard the door!"
"Me?" Huang Qiong did not resist this order at all. He just repeated it and left without any delay.
Zhuge Yan looked at Huang Qiong's back disappearing at the door, and she had an unspeakable doubt in her heart. Is he really a hidden master? But he was so bossy to him, but he didn't have any temper at all? What is this person¡¯s motive?
Zhuge Yan couldn't figure out the doubt in his mind, so he shook his head to dispel it, and then turned to Kou Chongguan and said, "What did you want to say just now?"
Kou Chongguan swallowed, as if it was very difficult to say this sentence. He muttered for a long time, and finally uttered a short sentence in a very low volume.
¡°There¡¯s nothing in the machine box!¡±
"What did you say?" Zhuge Yan was about to shout again, but was suppressed by Kou Chongguan's silence. In fact, it's no wonder that Zhuge Yan was too excited this time, it was Kou Chongguan's words that were too shocking.
A group of people worked desperately to protect a box, but in the end the box was empty. Anyone who heard it would just think it was ridiculous.
"You don't believe me?" Zhuge Yan calmed down and first thought of another possibility.
Kou Chongguan shook his head firmly. "The leader is dedicated to serving the public, and first he rescued us from the black shop. Then he killed three powerful enemies in a row, allowing us to avoid annihilation. My old bandit saw every one of these things. Why don¡¯t you believe the head catcher?¡±
"Then why did you lie to me with such obvious lies?"
Kou Chongguan smiled bitterly and said: "What I said is the most honest truth. How can I lie to the head catcher? I know it sounds incredible, but when the head catcher finishes listening to what he said, You know what we say is true."
Zhuge Yan nodded, suppressed all the questions in her heart, and listened attentively.
"Our trip is burdened with an extremely important secret. This secret is not only related to the lives of the six of us, but also related to the life of the head catcher. To be more precise, it is related to the lives of all the soldiers and civilians of the Great Xia Dynasty! "
When Zhuge Yan heard this, her curiosity was almost aroused to the extreme, but she remembered that asking questions would only delay her from hearing the whole truth, and she didn't want to appear so restless, so she gritted her teeth and said, Not another word was asked.
Kou Chongguan continued: "Master Captor should know about the upcoming war between Xia and Liao dynasties, right? Our mission here is related to this war to destroy the country!"
Zhuge Yan took a breath of air when she heard this. The first reaction was to glance outside the door. Seeing Huang Qiong's figure still vaguely reflected at the door, I felt a little relieved.
"Actually, before this war began, the overt and covert fighting between the two dynasties had already begun. As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move the food and grass, they go first, and the one who precedes the food and grass is intelligence! The masters in the temple want to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. What they want is Intelligence, otherwise wouldn¡¯t it just be empty talk on paper? And what we are escorting this time is the piece of information that can almost turn the tide of the war!"
When Zhuge Yan heard this, she couldn¡¯t help but asked: ¡°What kind of information is this?¡±
"Distribution map of Liao Dynasty's military supplies and supplies along the river!"
What! Although Zhuge Yan doesn't understand military affairs, she has been around Zhuge Wandai for so many years, so she naturally knows how powerful this army's equipment is. If she can know the enemy's distribution clearly. The war can be targeted, not to mention getting twice the result with half the effort. At least it can save the lives of many soldiers.
"That's not right! This distribution map is so important. How could it be escorted by only the six of you? Moreover, I see that you are heading north all the way. This is the direction of the Liao Dynasty. How can there be any reason to send the intelligence back?"
Kou Chongguan's eyes lit up and he said: "The head catcher is really smart as ice and snow, and he immediately understood the key points. In fact, this also starts with the source of the information. This information was obtained by the spies of the Great Xia Dynasty. From the capital of the Northern Dynasties, but because the road south was under martial law, we could not send the distribution map, so in the end we had to go in the opposite direction, first going north, then south by sea, and sent it to the Great Xia Dynasty."
"After this distribution map was sent to the Great Xia Dynasty, only Shenhou saw it"
"What did you say? Only showed it to himone person?"
Kou Chongguan glanced at Zhuge Yan with some confusion, "That's right. Lord Shenhou is the pillar of the imperial court, and this Northern Expedition was all promoted by Lord Marquis. Naturally, such important secrets cannot be allowed to be heard by others!"
Zhuge Yan nodded.At first, she suddenly heard her father's name from a stranger. She was not used to it, so she asked more questions, but now she pretended to be indifferent and motioned for the other party to continue.
"After reading this information, the Marquis thought it was extremely important. However, the vanguard army has already moved north, so he sent us to catch up with the vanguard army and deliver this distribution map. And no one must know about this distribution map. If it is alarmed If we go to the Northern Dynasty, the other party will inevitably rearrange their arrangements, and then this information will become a piece of waste paper!" When Kou Chongguan said this, he sighed with infinite regret, "That's why the six of us quietly went north. ! But I didn¡¯t expect"
Zhuge Yan glanced at You Weixue, who was seriously injured and unconscious on the bed, and asked anxiously: "Now that the Qinglong Society is eyeing you, doesn't it mean that your escorting the distribution map has been exposed?"
"That's not the case. The Qinglong Society is eyeing us. Most likely, they realized that we are the ones working for the Marquis' Mansion, so they became interested in us. And we are also combining falsehood and reality this time. On the bright side, It was this box that I came up to protect, but in fact I was carrying this distribution map close to my body. But I didn¡¯t expect that even if I acted in such a low-key manner, something might have happened to the Qinglong Society. Alas, it¡¯s come to this. I¡¯m not hiding anything, does the head catcher know? What happened in Mingzhou a few days ago?"
"Mingzhou?"
"That's right. There was a fierce battle between the Qinglong Club and the Hou Mansion. I don't know the reason for the war, but the battle was very tragic, so it is reasonable for the Qinglong Club to be suspicious of us!" Kou Chongguan said At this point, he said in a frustrated tone, "Although the Qinglong Society still doesn't know about our mission, once the empty machine box is opened, they will definitely become more suspicious, so I don't think I can keep this information for long. Hey, We have waited for the king's salary and raised the army for a thousand days, but we can't even do this one thing. I am really ashamed of the Marquis and the countless people of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
When Zhuge Yan heard this, she already believed it, because the fierce battle in Mingzhou mentioned by Kou Chongguan was exactly what she had experienced personally. And although everything the big man said was bizarre, when sorted out, it was logical and logical.
¡°So, you have actually encountered a major event that can change the fate of your family and country? Zhuge Yan glanced at Kou Chongguan, who was in low spirits, and then glanced at You Weixue. If the secret channel wants to complete this task, it is obviously impossible to rely on these two people.
As for the fact that she had been protected by the masters of the Hou Mansion, Zhuge Yan didn't believe it at all. Not to mention that all this information came from Huang Qiong, and she had never seen the man in black who rescued her in the so-called black shop. And I never saw any so-called masters helping me during the next stop in the dense forest, so Zhuge Yan had a lot of control over me. The one who rescued him from the dark shop was Huang Qiong himself! In other words, until now, dad still doesn¡¯t know his whereabouts!
So if he had a hand in it, and his father later knew that he had made such a great contribution, wouldn't he be impressed by him and obey him? I can't say that my life-long events can be
Zhuge Yan also became excited at the thought. She couldn't help blurting out what she was thinking, but suddenly she heard an angry shout outside the door.
"Who is it! Don't run!"
Zhuge Yan¡¯s heart tightened when she heard this. Is anyone eavesdropping? So how much of those confidential words just now were heard? She and Kou Chongguan rushed out of the room without having time to think about it.
Outside the door, Huang Qiong¡¯s figure had long since disappeared, and because it was already late at night, the entire inn was dark. Only the faint sound of fighting could be heard from two directions.
Why are there two places? What's going on?
Although the two of them were puzzled, after looking at each other, Zhuge Yan quickly said: "You stay and watch Miss You Weixue, I'll go check on the situation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out in one of the directions regardless of Kou Chongguan's reaction.
After only a few steps, Zhuge Yan saw a figure flashing, running fast in the dark night.
It¡¯s not too late for you! There was only one person but Huang Qiong was not seen, which meant that he must be chasing in the other direction. Zhuge Yan was afraid that Kou Chongguan's secret mission would be leaked. Now that he thought about the opportunity to remedy the situation, he felt refreshed and thought to himself, that's good!
At that moment, Zhuge Yan jumped up and stepped into it, quickly closing the distance between the two. In the darkness, she could see clearly that the other person was a slender figure covered with a hood.
"Hey! You brave thief! Let's see where you run away this time!"
Zhuge Yan immediately pointed out a sword and pointed it directly at the opponent's vest. The masked man did not hesitate and immediately changed direction. Regardless of the pain, he made a big hole in the wooden partition wall of the inn with a single leap. He didn't even dare to meet Zhuge Yanzhao, so he ran away.
Zhuge Yan finally met her true master, butLi Hui let him go and followed the masked man out of the hole, following closely behind him.
The two chased and escaped. The masked man in front ran a few blocks, and his leaping ability was amazing. Many high walls and steep walls were as if they were walking on flat ground. Zhuge Yan behind was not slow either, and he always fell far away from this man. behind.
After chasing for almost a bowl of tea, the two of them had already caught up to the edge of the town. A stream one or two feet wide suddenly appeared in front of them, and behind the stream was a dense forest. If they didn't catch up, they would be killed. To lose track of this person.
The masked man's speed did not slow down at all, and with his excellent leaping ability, he jumped over easily.
But just as he landed, a dark shadow flashed beneath his feet, landing exactly where the masked man had stepped.
Ouch! The masked man let out a scream, staggered, and was stumbled by his shadow. Then he collapsed on the ground, clutching his ankles, and could no longer stand up.
This black shadow is not a bystander, it is the scabbard in Zhuge Yan's hand that saw the right moment and shot it out, tripping up the masked man. Taking advantage of the masked man's fall to the ground, Zhuge Yan also jumped up and quickly flew under the head of the beast. Then he flew down and stepped heavily on the back of the masked man's neck, making him unable to move at all. !
"What a spy! Look where you're going! Tell me, you're sneakily eavesdropping on something outside the door!"
Zhuge Yan stepped on the man, bent her waist, and took off the man's hood.
As the mask was lifted, under the hazy moonlight, the man's face came clearly into Zhuge Yan's sight. Zhuge Yan took a breath of air when she saw the other party's appearance clearly.
"How could it be you!"
When Zhuge Yan was stunned, he suddenly saw the man's mouth move slightly, and then a line of yellow smoke spurted out.
Zhuge Yan was caught off guard and was hit by a hidden arrow. She immediately felt dizzy, but her feet did not obey her control, as if she was being pressed down by a ghost. Finally, her eyes darkened and her body collapsed in a daze
