Return of the Swallow

Gu Shixiong couldn't figure out why Qin Yining was so kind to help him, and why he took the risk to introduce him to the second master of the Lu family.

Is it really because they are also from the Yan Dynasty?

But if this woman had had this patriotism from the beginning, she would have agreed to help him long ago, and she would not have waited until now.

Qin Yining's performance was somewhat inconsistent.

When Gu Shixiong thought about it, the blood in his body ran cold. He hurriedly told the driver: "Stop quickly!"

The coachman was startled by Gu Shixiong's hoarse and sharp old voice and hurriedly stopped the carriage.

Gu Shixiong got out of the car awkwardly, took out the dagger by the afterglow of the setting sun and the light of the angry wind lantern, and began to pry the box that was nailed shut.

After exhausting all his efforts, he finally pried open the box intact and found a piece of paper lying inside.

Gu Shixiong felt more and more strange. He picked up the paper and looked closely at the light source. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This is a hand-drawn map. The mountains, rivers, forests and trees are clearly marked on it, and a circle is drawn with a cinnabar pen on the upper right side of the map.

What map is this?

Gu Shixiong carefully identified the labels next to the mountains and rivers to see if he could find the names of places he was familiar with.

But at this moment, a chaotic sound of horse hooves was suddenly heard galloping from the direction of the Three Thousand Camp.

Gu Shixiong was startled and looked over there with a solemn expression.

I saw a middle-aged man in the official uniform of a military general, leading thirty or forty cavalry with a gloomy expression. Before Gu Shixiong had time to react, he raised his hand and ordered people to take Gu Shixiong and his carriage away. Surrounded by people.

Gu Shixiong's heart was beating faster and faster, but his face was still as calm as before.

"Who are you! What are you doing!"

The leading general did not answer, only said: "Give me what you have in your hands."

Gu Shixiong frowned: "Why should I leave it to you!"

The general took out the saber from his waist,

Dahe said: "Hand it over!"

"Hand it over!"

The cavalry all drew their sabers from their waists.

Under the dim light, the sword shone with a cold light like snow, which made Gu Shixiong's calves start to tremble in fear.

Gu Shixiong raised his eyebrows and said: "Who are you? If you are not the right person, I will not hand over the things at will. I think you are soldiers. This is the closest to the Three Thousand Battalion. Are you from the Three Thousand Battalion? Or are you from the Three Thousand Battalion?" , are you from Cheng Shangshu?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"

Upon seeing this man's reaction, Gu Shixiong knew that these people were indeed Cheng Shangshu's people.

He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If you are from Cheng Shangshu, you don't need to snatch this thing. If you take me to see Cheng Shangshu and Mr. Lu, I will naturally give this thing to Cheng Shangshu with both hands."

The leader was stunned again when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he heard another sound of horse hooves coming from the direction of the capital, and it sounded like there were at least a hundred people, more than the people in their area.

Gu Shixiong naturally heard it too

Now that things have happened, Gu Shixiong has more speculations in his heart.

The group of people coming from the direction of the capital quickly approached and surrounded them, forming another circle outside the circle.

The leading officer shouted loudly: "Gu Shixiong, Mr. Gu, is he here? The Holy One has decreed that Mr. Gu come to the palace to see you!"

The officer who blocked the road earlier frowned and leaned down, grabbing the wooden box in Gu Shixiong's hand and what he couldn't figure out--\u003e\u003e

He grabbed the map of the place and put it in his arms.

Gu Shixiong was so stunned that he didn't even have time to resist, and could only watch as his things were snatched away.

"Is Mr. Gu here?"

The later officer asked again.

Gu Shixiong said in a hoarse voice: "I'm here."

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Horse hooves are in chaos and life is noisy. It seems that the people who come later separate the crowd.

When the group of people who came first saw this, they retreated and evacuated the siege. They simply left Gu Shixiong to the hundreds of people who came later, and rode away.

What else doesn't Gu Shixiong understand at this time?

This was the first time in his life that he stumbled so hard. Still fell into the hands of a little girl!

He knew his own calculations best, and he also knew that his behavior of going to the piano stand in public would attract the attention of the Holy One. But after what Qin Yining said, he only wanted to bring the token to Lu Heng, but forgot about the surveillance.

Now it seems that the situation in the capital is tense. The people monitoring the Qin family are not just the Holy Emperor's group. The group that just took away his "token" is under the jurisdiction of the Minister of War, and should be members of the Lu family.

But these people who were considered polite later on were the Holy Emperor's cronies. They knew that he had brought a "token" to the Three Thousand Camp and came here specifically to intercept him.

Now everyone should have recognized that the map in the box should be the treasure map!

I'm afraid that even if he, Gu Shixiong, tells the truth that it's not a treasure map, no one will believe it.

But why would he tell people the real location of the treasure?

"Mr. Gu, please come with us to the palace to face the saint." The general said in an imposing manner.

Gu Shixiong looked frightened, and climbed onto the carriage with his hands and feet shaking like chaff.

The group of people quickly rushed towards the palace.

Li Qitian had already received the news from the secret agent and knew that Gu Shixiong went to the Qin Mansion to find Qin Yining for the second time, left the Qin family for the second time, and brought something with him to the Three Thousand Camp after returning home. Li Qitian knew that he was detaining Yuchi Yan to watch. The dynamic strategy finally paid off.

Mr. Gu was the disciple of the late Emperor Dayan, and he was highly respected. He had long suspected whether Gu Shixiong knew the whereabouts of the treasure. However, this Mr. Gu had no other abilities. No one could match him in his ability to pretend to be stupid. .

Today he finally caught it, and all his hard work was not in vain.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Gu has arrived." Li Guanwen whispered in front of the imperial study room.

Hearing this, Li Qitian hurriedly said: "Please come in."

"According to the order." Li Guanwen stepped back and soon led Gu Shixiong to approach.

Gu Shixiong tremblingly bowed to Li Qitian.

"The common people bow to the Holy One and wish the Holy One long life and good health!"

Li Qitian sat behind the desk and said with a sinking face: "Mr. Gu, can you explain to me why you rushed out of the city to Camp Three Thousand before the curfew?"

Gu Shixiong kowtowed in panic and said: "Grass people, grass people..."

"You're all in front of me, why don't you tell the truth?" Li Qitian stood up.

Gu Shixiong trembled all over and was immediately frightened to tears.

"The common people, the common people are unjust! They are not afraid that the Holy One will be angry. The common people know that Prince Yan has been invited to the palace by the Holy One. They are looking for someone to intercede with Prince Yan. They have gone to Qin's house twice, but Miss Qin can't do anything. . Later, I had no choice but to take the treasure map to the Lu family for help. But who knew that before anyone from the Lu family could see a single person, the treasure map would be snatched away by the Lu family!"
