Seduction

Qiao Sanniang, who was watching the excitement, smiled and shook her head and walked away. The King of Guns glanced at her.

"What are you laughing at?" he asked.

"Laughing at you." Qiao Sanniang said, "He's fine, don't delay our drinking." She turned around and walked out.

The old gun king glanced at Zhan Xingruo again, "Since he is someone you know, you should take good care of him and let him go when he wakes up." The old gun king said to Lu Wangyao.

Lu Wangyao nodded blankly.

After a while, Piao Yao came with dry clothes.

Both squatted in front of Zhan Xingruo's bed.

"Put it on for him." Piao Yao said, the atmosphere between the two was still a bit inexplicably awkward, Lu Wangyao didn't dare to look directly at Piao Yao, and just nodded.

"This is the person Master Gu admires." Piao Yao lowered his eyes, "Come here for Master Gu." He pinched the pulse of Zhan Xingruo's wrist and saw many bruises and scratches under his arm. "I suffered a lot." bitter."

He narrowed his eyes and smiled at Lu Wangyao, "If the person I like has become like this, if I were Mr. Gu, I would be so heartbroken."

Lu Wangyao blushed, and lowered his head, "Okay, okay. Hurry up and make the medicine, I'll help the military commander change his clothes." As Lu Wangyao said, his hand just fell on Zhan Xingruo's lapel, and Zhan Xingruo grabbed it wrist.

Zhan Xingruo was startled.

"Gu Qing..." He panted heavily, as if he had just woken up from a sleepy nightmare, he was chanting Gu Qing's name in a trance, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Zhan, Military Adviser Zhan?" Lu Wangyao was also startled when his hands were pinched.

Zhan Xingruo quickly let go.

"Where is this?" he asked.

"This is..." Lu Wangyao didn't know what to say, "Mr. Zhan, you came all the way here, don't you know where it is?"

Zhan Xingruo's breathing slowed down.

"Where's the old general?" he asked.

Lu Wangyao was confused and looked at Piao Yao.

"What old general?" He was puzzled, "Master?" he guessed.

Knowing that there is still someone who can save Gu Qing, Zhan Xingruo rushed to Tianguan non-stop, and the three-day journey was almost non-stop.

In order to go quickly, he took a shortcut and was scratched all over in the woods.

When it was time to arrive at Gu's residence, it happened to be raining, and Zhan Xingruo got wet at that time, and he hadn't had a good rest.

The one who opened the door was Dongzhi, and when Dongzhi saw Zhan Xingruo, he couldn't help admiring him, even though Zhan Xingruo was in a state of distress now, in his heart he was still the celestial figure under the red palace gate who couldn't eat fireworks.

"Zhan, Military Advisor Zhan? Why are you here? The master is not at home now." Dongzhi said.

"I'm looking for Uncle Wang." Zhan Xingruo replied.

When Uncle Wang saw Zhan Xingruo again, he almost didn't recognize him.It rained and washed Ashura's hair clean. Just as the sky cleared, Ashura shivered, his body seemed to be covered with a slight layer of golden light. Uncle Wang recognized the horse, and he panicked when he thought about it.

He pulled Zhan Xingruo into the house, and ordered his servants to cook some hot dishes with soup and water.Whether it was Chengfeng Hou back then or Gu Qing Zhan Xingruo now, in the eyes of Uncle Wang, they are just children, and children should be taken good care of.

Uncle Wang was getting old, and his body couldn't bear it anymore. Gu's mansion was so big that he had to take care of it when Gu Qing was not at home. He coughed a few times, and Zhan Xingruo frowned slightly.

"Uncle Wang, how are you doing these days?"

"I'm getting older. It's inevitable." Uncle Wang smiled and waved his hands, hearing the worry in Zhan Xingruo's tone.

"If there is any urgent matter, you have to eat first. Your body is your capital." Uncle Wang said.

Zhan Xingruo had no choice but to nod, took out Gu Qing's letter from his clothes and handed it to Uncle Wang.

"This is what Gu Qing asked me to give you."

"What's the matter, master?" Uncle Wang immediately opened the letter, squinting his eyes and reading each word.

"Gu Qing's body is very poisonous right now, and she won't be able to come back in a short time. All the imperial physicians in the Prince's Mansion have come and tried, but they are all at a loss. Gu Qing said that the person who wrote the letter might be able to save him, and asked me to deliver the letter to you." Zhan Xingruo explained.

Uncle Wang frowned, "Then I'll leave immediately," he said.

"Uncle Wang!" Zhan Xingruo called to stop him, "I'd better go. I'm afraid your health won't be able to handle the long journey."

Uncle Wang held the letter, Zhan Xingruo looked at him, and said, "Leave it to the younger generation."

After a hasty meal in Gu's residence, Zhan Xingruo set off.

He asked Uncle Wang the way, and decided to find the rescuer himself.

"Maybe tell me who I'm looking for?" Zhan Xingruo asked before leaving.

"This man is the apprentice of the current Spear King. According to legend, he is a poison master, but there are also rumors that he is a pharmacist. He once came to Gu's residence for a while to cook medicine for the master." Uncle Wang replied.

"So this person can be trusted?" Zhan Xingruo asked.

Uncle Wang nodded, "Master's body really depends on him a lot."

Zhan Xingruo blinked, and the word "gun king" flashed across his mind, evoking some vague memories.

"Why did you invite him?" Zhan Xingruo asked.

Uncle Wang paused.

"Please tell me. Life is at stake. I already know everything about Gu Qing. You don't need to hide it for him anymore."

Uncle Wang sighed, "Yes."

"Apricot blossom wine, too?" Zhan Xingruo asked.

"That's not clear." Uncle Wang replied.

"What's the pharmacist's name?" He asked again.

"Unsteady." Uncle Wang thought for a while.

Zhan Xingruo frowned, and suddenly thought of what the prince said, the wound on Gu Qing's waist was treated in a timely manner. Based on this calculation, Piao Yao should have helped him treat the wound just after he was injured. According to Zhan Xingruo's guess, Piao Yao should have been near the battlefield at that time.

The problem that the ghost face is someone else seems to be solved.

"In those days when I came to Gu's residence, where was Piao Yao?" Zhan Xingruo asked.

"This... I don't know either. His whereabouts have never been told to us, and the master has directly explained it."

"Did he leave during that time?" Zhan Xingruo asked.

"Yes."

"He left as soon as I came?" Zhan Xingruo asked again.

Uncle Wang thought about it and nodded.

Zhan Xingruo suddenly realized, his heart was knocked hard, his whole body passed through a chill, and those complicated emotions withdrew his heart in an instant, turning into pulsating blood.

He knew that Chen Jiang had been learning Chengfenghou's marksmanship, but after more than ten years, he still couldn't discover Chengfenghou's astonishing spear.Gu Qing, who has been in elementary school, is naturally proficient, but why can the fake "ghost face" who is the replacement be able to firmly suppress Chen Jiang.

If Zhan Xing claimed to have read countless generals, in terms of talent, then Chen Jiang could be considered one of them. If Chen Jiang had been learning his way for ten years, how long would it take for the fake ghost face to fully acquire the essence.

Unless there is one thing, like Gu Qing, he was taught that set of marksmanship since he was a child.

"Pianyao and Gu Qing have known each other since childhood?"

"No." Uncle Wang shook his head, "Please come back after the end."

Zhan Xingruo nodded, becoming more certain of his guess.

If they had known each other since childhood, the two of them might have learned spears together by Cheng Fenghou, if not, they would have learned each other separately.If this marksmanship is only the secret book of Cheng Fenghou, then who is the other person who taught the swing?

"Is Piaoyao my elder?" Zhan Xingruo asked.

"Similar to you." Uncle Wang replied.

Zhan Xingruo took a deep breath.

Many years ago, he hadn't obtained the fame and entered the official career. At that time, it was not the famous Marquis Chengfeng who fought against the barbarians.

He heard from his father that the Northwest General and his lieutenant are father and son.

"That is to bet the lives of the whole family to guard the northwest?" Little Zhan Xingruo asked.

His father nodded, "Exactly, the whole family is loyal and courageous. When you grow up, you and I can also be father and son, and do our best for the emperor."

Little Zhan Xing didn't have the heart to think about that, and asked, "If you die in battle, what will the women in the family do?"

His father just smiled, "The general is famous for his marksmanship, and his family is extremely brave. Our army in the northwest of Yuezhu is impregnable, so you don't have to worry about it." His father said to him at that time.

"Famous for marksmanship..." Zhan Xingruo tried hard to recall his father's words, chanting in bits and pieces.

At that time, Zhan Xingruo was very concerned about this matter. He didn't look back from the northwest until he knew that the two lieutenants were all killed in battle and the body of the general had not been found. He was heartbroken.

"Maybe the general is not dead..." He suddenly thought, if everything is as he speculated, maybe the gun king is the old general who disappeared back then.

Zhan Xingruo rode his horse and rushed to the place that Uncle Wang said.

After the rain stopped, Zhan Xingruo sat up from the bed, and finally saw the true face of the swaying Lushan Mountain.

"Who taught you marksmanship?" he asked.

Yao Yao frowned vigilantly, Zhan Xingruo cast his eyes on Lu Wangyao, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Just a while." Lu Wangyao replied.

"Take me to Gun King, there is no longer any delay."

"Military division, what happened?" Lu Wangyao asked anxiously.

"Gu Qing was poisoned, and the barbarian army invaded the country." Zhan Xingruo replied, "I need to see the gun king."

Lu Wangyao was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Piao Yao.

"Master taught me the gun." Piao Yao said, "Since you are up, change your clothes yourself, and I will take you to see Master."

Qiao Sanniang shook the wine jar and found that the wine had bottomed out and the rain had stopped, so it would be no fun to drink any more.

"I didn't expect you to be able to drink very well now." Qiao Sanniang laughed.

"You're still there." The old gun king answered.

"Oh, I think you are panicking. How many years have you been called an old general?"

Gun King lowered his head and shook, "Why bring up the past again."

"I must be asking for something from you." Qiao Sanniang stood up and said, "I would like to advise you, don't regret the choice you make, but no one will clean up the mess for you. I used to give guns and always complained about my wrong choice. Man, I think you're getting old and confused."

Gun King smiled, "Why, you left after drinking for more than ten years?"

"I'm not as leisurely as you. I still have things to do." Qiao Sanniang patted her clothes and said.

"By the way, I haven't asked you why you came back, and where you have been all these years, but since you are not dead, I can probably guess that you are going home. But you didn't come back to see Piao Yao, but what is it for?" ?” asked the gun king.

"Come back and kill."

"Kill who?"

"Han people." Qiao Sanniang's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of coolness.
