Hidden Sky Light

When he was at the border of Licheng, Guo Zixiao was used to sneaking into Xirong with Shen Ci.

Most people who sneak into Xirong will wear a human skin mask that covers their faces.

They have a special status, and it is easy to be discovered that entering and leaving Xirong will cause unnecessary trouble.

Xue Chao had already explored Qucheng before the two of them, and then sent a simple distribution map of Qucheng to Shen Ci and Guo Zixiao.

The simple distribution map is not detailed, and others can't see the clues when they get it. Only a few of them can read the rules agreed earlier. Carry.

After entering the city, it really was the same as what I thought earlier, and it was the same as Xue Chao's map, Qucheng was not big and not prosperous.

Most of the business trips around also pass through the nearby Guicheng, bypassing Qucheng, so Qucheng is inconspicuous in the surrounding cities.

In addition, Qucheng is small and has a small population. In such a place, a group of purple-clothed guards suddenly appeared, which undoubtedly caused an uproar.

When Chi Hongying brought people into the city, the streets and alleys in the city were still debating, which wave of garrisoned troops came to Qucheng and what did they do, but the next day, Chi Hongying took Ziyiwei and left, Qucheng. It was only when the people came to realize that these purple-clothed guards were really just a way...

Shen Ci and Guo Zixiao entered Qucheng after Ziyiwei left Qucheng, just outside of Ziyiwei's team.

There are rare events in Qucheng. When Shen Ci and Guo Zixiao entered the city, the people of Qucheng were still discussing the incident of Ziyiwei entering the city yesterday.

Shen Ci deliberately asked Chi Hongying to take people through Qucheng yesterday, so that everyone in Qucheng's eyes and vigilance will be placed on Ziyiwei, and they will be highly nervous.

On the contrary, these tensions and vigilance will be eased after Ziyiwei leaves. Therefore, this time is the time when there are the most clues in Qucheng.

He, Zixiao and Xue Chao can stay in Qucheng to explore slowly for a few days.

There will always be impatient people showing their feet.

After one day, I met with Guo Zixiao, Guo Zixiao took off his mask, "Second Master, I didn't find anything. There is still talk about Ziyiwei in Qucheng, and the other side has no intention."

Shen Ci also took off his mask and said softly, "Don't worry, it's really a big fish that won't show up easily. Right now, it's more like a pretentious calm. Keep watching, we have time."

Guo Zixiao nodded.

Shen Ci asked again, "Where's Xue Chao?"

Guo Zixiao replied, "Wait, according to what the second master said, lead people to wait outside the city. According to Lao Xue's original words, not a fly can fly."

Guo Zixiao laughed when he finished speaking, and Shen Ci also laughed.

It was Xue Chao's tone.

One Xue Chao and one Han Guan are full of nonsense.

Xiao Wu also followed his mouth without closing the door.

After laughing, Guo Zixiao glanced at Shen Ci and said solemnly, "Second Master, is your injury okay?"

It's been a few days since he came out of Liaocheng, but he didn't see the general leaning against the corner of the table and bowing to accommodate the injury on his shoulder as he did when he was in Liaocheng earlier.

Shen Ci didn't care, "It's okay, how can you be so squeamish?"

Guo Zixiao sighed, "I heard Xiao Wu say that this time the general is incredible, not only forty or fifty people, but also Lou Chi, that is Lou Chi, Tan Jin's number one general, and the general even carries a saber. If you don't bring it, you won't be seriously injured, I'm afraid it will be worse than any time..."

Shen Ci paused, then looked at him, "Next time I meet Xiao Wu's mouth, let him say anything!"

Guo Zixiao smiled awkwardly and began to worry about Xiao Wu's mouth...

Shen resigned to rest in bed on one side, but did not close his eyes.

Zi Xiao's words reminded him.

Lou Chi is Tan Jin's first warrior. Although he has a chance of winning against Lou Chi, there are dozens of people under Lou Chi's command. Even if the other party's attention is on Chen Ling, he may not be able to get away with it.

Lou Chi hesitated.

- General Shen, are you crazy? There are forty or fifty people here, and you don't have a knife...

- (My sword, only goes into battle to kill the enemy and serve the country, not the people of the country and the generals in the army) Well, General Shen, I respect you!

When he was in Xiguan, Lou Chi was also a general who could entrust his back. Therefore, Lou Chi didn't want to kill him at first. If Lou Chi had murderous intentions from the beginning, he should not have such good luck to wait until Xiao Wu...

Lou Chi was also a stern man on the battlefield, but thinking of Tan Jin's kindness, loyalty and righteousness could not be both, so Lou Chi would say respect for him at that time.

Human nature is inherently complex.

He is, and so is Lou Chi...

***

The next day, Shen Ci and Guo Zixiao went to the place where the fire was mentioned earlier.

Chen Ling had asked King Jingping to come to Qucheng to check for clues.

At that time, people from King Jingping came and said that there was a big fire in Qucheng, and everything they were looking for should be burnt. Chen Ling mentioned it to him, but since he has already arrived in Qucheng, he must come to see it.

They only came to Qucheng yesterday, mainly to find out the topography of Qucheng, and they didn't rush to do other things. They only arrived at the fire place today.

"It's really burned beyond recognition." Guo Zixiao sighed, and followed Shen Ci into the room, "Second Master, this fire must not have been an accident. If it wasn't deliberately arson, it wouldn't have burned like this... I'm afraid I can't see the clue."

Guo Zixiao squatted down at will, stretched out his hand and squeezed the surroundings, there was nothing beside him in the ashes.

If there is, it should also be cleaned up.

Thoroughly burnt everywhere and thoroughly cleaned.

Guo Zixiao didn't have any idea after watching it for a long time.

Xue Chao should have also come to explore this place. If there is news, it would have already reached the general. The general should not come to find any clues today, but just come to see this place.

"Second Master?" Guo Zixiao saw Shen Ci also squatting and watching carefully, as if something was hidden in the ashes.

Guo Zixiao also hurried forward.

When not really what?

"This is it?" Guo Zixiao looked at the shards that Shen Ci handed over. It was very inconspicuous. It should be some unburned residue. He had seen it before, but he didn't pay attention.

Shen Ci said softly, "This is willow soil, the name is soil, but it is actually a forged material, resistant to high temperature, very hard, and expensive."

Guo Zixiao gasped, "So powerful?"

But it was so powerful that it burned like this, and the fire was definitely huge.

Guo Zixiao saw that Shen Ci was holding the residue in his hands, as if he was still in a trance.

"What's the matter, Second Master?" Guo Zixiao didn't know, but there was something wrong with this willow soil.

Shen Ci said solemnly, "And the forging process can be difficult, so it is not as easy to use as copper and iron. There should not be places like Qucheng."

Guo Zixiao was surprised, "Huh?"

He didn't expect willow soil to be so special, he thought it was a pile of dregs.

Shen Ci looked at the residue in his hand again, the willow soil was inconvenient to transport, and the area where willow soil was often used to forge things was in the Ancheng area.

The Shen family was in Ancheng, so he knew a little bit about this kind of thing.

Things forged by willow soil are not uncommon, but they appear a little unexpected in small towns like Qucheng.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see." Shen Ci got up.

Guo Zixiao also got up.

"Let's do it separately, don't worry." Shen Ci ordered, and Guo Zixiao agreed.

Qucheng is not big, so be careful.

Guo Zixiao is in the east of the city, and he is in the west of the city. If there is any discovery, he will use the military signal bomb to contact him.

Yesterday, Shen Ci came to find out, and the people living in the west of the city were all craftsmen. Straw baskets, pots and pans, tofu workshops, herbal tea shops, the market atmosphere is very strong.

Da Yin is hidden in the city, and such places are the easiest to hide.

Shen Ci took a seat at the herbal tea shop.

There are many people chatting in the herbal tea shop, Shen Ci is not conspicuous among them, and you can also observe the surroundings through the gap between drinking tea.

Qucheng is close to Fuyang County, and Qucheng dialect is similar to Fuyang dialect. Shen Ci has heard the Fuyang dialect for nearly a month, and now he can almost understand Qucheng dialect, and he can answer a few sentences in basic Qucheng dialect. So he is not eye-catching in the herbal tea shop.

After sitting for a while, Shen Ci heard some lame and inappropriate Qucheng words.

Shen Ci was alert, his eyes swept across not far away, and someone took a seat.

He just remembered that table, only one of them was there, and now there are two others. It seemed like a table fight, and the three of them didn't say much, just stretched out their hands to hold chopsticks.

Shen Ci's eyes stopped.

He was familiar with the Shiron people.

Xirong people use chopsticks, as well as the habit of drinking water, and their expressions will be subtly different from those of Yanhan people. Very few Yanhan people have several differences at the same time.

Shen Ci could almost conclude that it was from Xirong, but he didn't make a sound. Only by following the small fish could he catch the big fish.

There are indeed Xirong people in Qucheng.

He hasn't left yet, he's still seeing each other.

Shen Ci continued to drink the herbal tea. Seeing that the people at the table were about to leave, he also stepped forward to check out, so that there would not be much attention at that time. It's just that he just got up, and the guy whose heart was on the other table accidentally bumped into him. Shen Ci's attention was interrupted, and the guy bowed and kept apologizing.

Shen Ci glanced at the few Xirong people, and the Xirong people had already left.

Shen Ci couldn't keep up with him directly, for fear of revealing his fault.

It stayed for a while, until a few people were about to disappear before following up.

But not long after they were driven out, a sharp sound was heard, and a signal bomb rose into the air.

Zixiao? Found Harmia? !

Shen Ci immediately ran to the east of the city!

This was an appointment before. If I saw Harmiya, I would immediately set off a flare.

Shen Ci followed the direction of the flare, and Xue Chao also followed the direction to intercept.

Qucheng is not big, if Zixiao finds out Harmia's whereabouts, Harmia won't be able to escape!

Shen Ci speeded up, because he knew the map by heart earlier, and he was familiar with the terrain in Qucheng City yesterday, and Shen Ci could quickly pass through various alleys today. Before they reached the east of the city, they encountered the Xirong people. The Xirong people should have escaped with Harmia!

Shen Ci saw Guo Zixiao who was chasing after him in the distance!

Zixiao had seen Harmiya, and he must be chasing Harmiya!

Seeing that several Xirong people around rushed to Guo Zixiao together, Shen Ci rushed up to help Guo Zixiao.

Soon, the lurking Ziyiwei also followed and fought with the Xirong people.

"Chase!" Shen Ci was entangled and unable to escape, so he roared at Guo Zixiao.

Guo Zixiao immediately mounted the horse and continued to chase.

"Second Master, go first!" Another Ziyiwei said, and the two stepped forward and exchanged Shen Ci.

Shen Ci also jumped on the horse.

The man that Guo Zixiao followed was tall, and when escaping, he would turn around on horseback and show them a weird and provocative smile. Xirong people have always been like this!

Guo Zixiao was annoyed.

Along the way, Xirong people kept coming out to stop them, and Shen Ci was forced to stop, "You chase first!"

Shen Ci grabbed the sword and fought with several Xirong people in front of him.

Shen Ci is too familiar with the way of fighting and swinging the swords of the Xirong people. It is easy to deal with the few Xirong people in front of him, but as soon as they fight, Shen Ci knows that these Xirong people are not easy! The bodyguard of Harmia.

Seeing Harmia rushing out of the city gate on horseback, Shen Ci shouted, "Zixiao!"

Guo Zixiao threw the saber forward and hit the horse.

In an instant, people turned their backs.

Harmiya immediately rolled off his horse.

Guo Zixiao stepped forward, and the two scuffled together.

The Xirong people who met at the gate of the city were fighting with Ziyiwei. These Xirong people looked ordinary, but they were extremely fierce.

Guo Zixiao didn't stop her, and Harmia rushed out of the city, guarded by his attendants.

Guo Zixiao also broke through the block and moved forward again, and Shen Ci helped to solve the few Xirong people in front of him.

When the two were chasing out from the city gate, they saw Harmiya collided with Xue Chao, who was riding on horseback, surrounded by purple-clothed guards, and the Xirong people could not escape.

Harmiya was directly bruised, but there was still lingering breath in his mouth.

Guo Zixiao and Shen Ci stepped forward panting, Xue Chao also dismounted, the surrounding Xirong people were subdued, and Harmiya was also pinned to the ground.

"Halmia? It's a **** thing to run!" Guo Zixiao spat the blood on the corner of his mouth.

It was obvious that he was hit, but it was still several people who suppressed him.

Harmiya spit out a mouthful of blood at Guo Zixiao, with the weird smile on his face from earlier.

"I've been caught, but I can still laugh, I really admire you~" Guo Zixiao snorted, spit it out, just catch you.

Shen Ci frowned.

Harmiya is a hero. After being caught, there is no reaction at all?

Harmia looked at him, "Shen Ci General Shen?"

The other party suddenly spoke, and Shen Ci frowned, "You are not Harmiya..."

Guo Zixiao and Xue Chao were both stunned.

Ziyiwei, who happened to be behind him, stepped forward, "Second Master, it has been cleaned up, there are forty people in total."

Forty people?

Guo Zixiao and Xue Chao were stunned again.

Shen Ci's mind suddenly came to the Xirong people he met at the herbal tea shop in the west of the city. At that time, he was going to keep up with him, but the first time he bumped into him at the heart of the herbal tea shop's work, and the other time, he was in the middle of the road. When I was about to catch up, I saw Zixiao's signal flare, and immediately went to the east of the city!

No, there are three more in the west of the city...

Not in this direction!

"Are you sure he is Harmiya?" Shen Ci looked at Guo Zixiao.

Guo Zixiao was stunned, "Yes, yes..."

He was with Han at the time, and the Harmiya he heard was his.

The other party smiled grimly.

Guo Zixiao's expression also changed, didn't he?

Shen Ci's eyes were stagnant, he was hit!

They had already counted Zixiao into it! This time, it was a plan to let them let go of the real Harmia when they chased the "Halmia" in front of them! !

This is the north gate of Qucheng.

There is also a south gate, in the opposite direction!

With the skills of the guards around Harmiya, even if there are purple-clothed guards guarding, the real Harmiya can break out.

Because Xue Chao and the others are all here.

Shen Ci stood up suddenly, "Go, you've got a plan!"

Guo Zixiao and Xue Chao also got up.

"Look at him!" Shen Ci shouted, then jumped on his horse and headed for the south gate, where Xue Chao and Guo Zixiao caught up.

But by the time they got to the South City Gate, there were Ziyiwei's corpses everywhere!

Guo Zixiao and Xue Chao's faces stiffened, it was really...

Shen Ci stepped forward and saw the word "Shen Ci" written in blood on the ground. They were distorted and shocking. Both Guo Zixiao and Xue Chao were too shocked to speak.

Shen Ci also frowned, carefully recalling the few Xirong people he saw at the herbal tea shop just now, which one is Harmiya?

Anyone who can write the word "Shen Ci" in blood here must be a lunatic.

And this kind of madman will come into close contact with him.

Which one is it?

The one who sat down earlier?

Or one of the next two?

Shen Ci's mind was spinning rapidly, but suddenly, the whole person stopped and remembered the work of turning to him with a snack tray. He is not short, because he is not short because he is bowed, but he is actually strong, but disguised. Be honest.

He came into contact with him on purpose.

Harmia...

Xue Chao looked at the general's name written in blood on the ground and felt unlucky. He wanted to go up and wipe it, but the blood could not be wiped clean at all.

"Chasing, Second Master?" Guo Zixiao was annoyed, it was all his fault.

Shen Ci looked at the two words on the ground and said in a low voice, "I can't catch up, someone helped him, he came to see me on purpose..."

Xue Chao and Guo Zixiao looked at him dumbly.

Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "He is here to issue the gauntlet."

After Shen Ci finished speaking, he stepped forward and opened the corpse on the side of the writing. There were still some words pressed under the corpse—See you at Licheng.

Xue Chao and Guo Zixiao both gasped.
