Wing On Tune

Twenty-five, night, Gu family.

There are only five days left to celebrate the Chinese New Year. During the daytime, the streets are bustling and bustling. At the end of the year, most of the merchants have settled their accounts. Despite the festive atmosphere, the Gu family's house was locked and desolate these days.

Late at night is the time when people fall into dreams. Occasionally, drunk people pass by at night. They can hear the clanging of swords and swords in the courtyard of the deep house. They think it is hallucinations, wave their hands and hum the same vain tune as their footsteps, and go straight to the place. Go far away, nothing to do with your own business.

At this time, the Gu family had not rested for three days. Since Ning Zhiyuan arrived in Nanlin, after Gu Ming passed away, a dead man arrived at the Gu family that night. Su Yi threw two bottles of pills to Chang'an and Gu Linzhi, one bottle of Tongning The pills left by Zhiyuan for restoring physical strength and replenishing vitality have the same effect, and the other bottle is to prevent the poison from being poisoned by the knife, and temporarily suppress the poison.

After that, he drilled into the room non-stop and continued to decipher the two poisons of Su Zui. Now he shoulders a heavy responsibility. If he does not speed up the detoxification, if the dead man who comes is quenched with poison, Chang'an and the others will not be able to last for five days. The abnormal one is the dead man. Although the attack was extremely fierce, the knife's edge was not poisoned, probably because Ning Zhiyuan started looking for someone in the south, and it was a blessing among misfortunes.

Su Ye closed the door tightly to study the method of cracking. The sound of swords and swords clashing outside the room at night followed him everywhere. He was anxious but had to concentrate on it. Changan and Gu Linzhi had been sleepless for three nights relying on the pills. Riri still has to hang his mind to search for the evidence that Gu Ming couldn't finish talking at the end.

Gu Ming has been in the business field for many years, and all he knows are merchants. At this time, he is taking care of the New Year's affairs and preparing for the New Year's visit. Except for the guards in the courtyard, there is no helper who can be mobilized!

After Pei Ran sent Cheng Sheng and Gu Sizhi back to Jiangling, it was late at night, and it happened to catch up with the second night raid. The number of dead men who came was fixed but kept coming. Every night, there were six or seven people. If they didn't let them all down that night, and retreated in the early morning, these people would superimpose and attack the next night. When Chang An and Gu Linzhi couldn't relax, since Gu Ming passed away, they kept walking into a bitter struggle.

On the twenty-sixth, in the early morning.

The fourth night attack on the Gu family finally survived. Chang'an, Gu Linzhi and Pei Ran couldn't breathe, and they went back to the hall to rest with their swords. Shi Shi had been guarding outside Su Yi's room to resist the attack, and had a lot of cuts on his body Fortunately, most of the attacks were blocked by the nearby Chang'an Ge.

During the day, when he took a short rest, he applied medicine and bandaged the wounds of the three people. Seeing that the wounds began to become denser, and the stone decoction changed the medicine, it was too busy, and no one had a good time.Gu Hengzhi has been searching up and down the Gu family, and now most of the evidence has been found, but the most important part of the past two years has never been found. Gu Ming has been cautious all his life, but he did not expect to leave such a big hole for future generations in the end. problem.

Those evidences were placed in three parts, one part was hidden in Cheng Sheng's dowry box, but it was not pressed under the jewelry and jade, but sandwiched between the plates on the side of the box. The location of the box was also unusual. When people rummaged through the entire dowry box, they couldn't find it. Unexpectedly, it was in the most inconspicuous box interlayer.

The other one is hidden in a tricky location, scattered on the top floors of several door frames, and the joints on the edges are also places that are easily overlooked, but Gu Ming handled it very carefully, and coated each joint. If you don't look carefully, it's impossible to find out. After scraping off the coating at the joint, pry open half a palm's width of wood, and the things are hidden inside. Gu Hengzhi pried open several door edges to collect the second copy.

As for the most important part, Gu Ming didn't finish it in the end. The three of them in Chang'an needed to use their time to buffer their energy during the day. Gu Hengzhi couldn't find it, "Where else can I put it?" ?Father is cautious, and it is absolutely impossible to put things in places beyond his control, but I have even searched for the secret room he took me into once in private, and there is no clue at all!"

He had a pale complexion, heavy eye circles, and hadn't slept for several days. After finding the mechanism of the secret room, Gu Linzhi and others would let him and Su Yi hide in the secret room with a few servants who stayed behind when they were fighting, and everyone was in high spirits. He couldn't relax, and he was also wondering where the last piece of evidence was going.

Chang'an, Gu Linzhi and Pei Ran's robes were wet and dry, dry and wet, because the spirits of the first few days were still at their peak, the injuries on their bodies were not too serious, but they were cut and oozing blood , There is no time to change at all, at first glance, it is all mottled and dried crimson blood, and then it is fainted by wet sweat, it is very scary to describe it.

Shi Shi couldn't stand it anymore, he helped someone to change his upper body clothes, Chang'an had no energy to move at the moment, caring about the situation where he had to be touched, he complied with Shi Shi's wishes during the buffer period.

Gu Linzhi was turning his head to talk to the anxious Gu Hengzhi who was turning back and forth in the room, but when he turned his head, he saw Honglian behind Chang'an, and it flashed in his mind, he had seen this in the jewelry he had rummaged through at first. Seeing the pattern, he got up and pulled Gu Hengzhi over to Cheng Sheng and Gu Ming's bedrooms. Chang'an and Pei Ran saw his eagerness, so they got up and followed.

Cheng Sheng has a wide range of jewellery, but there are only a few that are used frequently, and the rest are carefully stored on weekdays. The family members are already used to her preferences, so they usually don't pay attention to them.

Dowry jewelry is a woman's precious and private item, and the evidence they want to find is thin paper. Gu Linzhi and the others did not think in this direction. Chang'an watched Gu Linzhi rummaging through the jewelry box and dowry box in his room. At that time, I knew in my heart that the last clue was probably related to jewelry.

After Gu Linzhi found the red lotus hairpin at the bottom of a pile of jewelry, he was stunned for a moment, remembering that Gu Linzhi was sitting on his right side when he changed clothes just now.

It's simply evil.Liu Xu's embroidery skills are ingenious, and she is very paranoid about embroidery work. I don't know how to see the pearl hairpin that Gu Ming carried with him many years ago, and the needle on Chang'an's back is not bad.

Now this origin has become an unsolved mystery following the departure of Liu Xu and Gu Ming, and now there is no time to ponder over it. Gu Linzhi is holding the pearl hairpin and turning it around. The workmanship of the pearl hairpin is exquisite, and the color is still eye-catching. It is so meticulous that it is not lost in the dazzling array of jewelry, and even the year cannot be seen, but what does this have to do with the place where the evidence is placed?

Gu Linzhi has known Qi Su for many years, watching him play tricks, he can see some key points in this aspect, Gu Linzhi looked at the center of the lotus leaf blooming and stretching, gently twisting the pearl hairpin with both hands, very subtle With a click, the red lotus leaf separated from the lotus stem, and it was a key.

He glanced at the other people, his eyes flickering, he finally made some progress, and now he just needs to find a place to put the last piece of evidence, with Gu Ming's temper, this key is absolutely impossible without such thoughts. Useless things.

The sky was getting dark, and it was time for the fifth night raid.

No matter whether the men in black are successful or not, they will retreat before the streets and alleys become lively in the early morning. It can be seen that they don't want to cause a commotion, but they will restrict their travel during the day. was truncated.

In the dead of night, the men in black will land in the yard on time and start fighting all night. People gather from all sides and keep pouring into Gu's house. If they can't find anything to send out, they will soon be unable to hold on , the opponent has an advantage in numbers, and this kind of wheel battle will always win a crushing victory in the end. They must race against time to have a chance of winning.

When the first sword hissed, Gu Hengzhi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. They had already pried open all the things that could be locked, but the key they found suddenly was useless. When he was hiding, he searched up and down, including the wall and the edge of the room, every place was not spared, what is the problem?

Shi Shi whispered behind him urging him to quickly enter the secret room, the sound of fighting outside had grown louder, the evidence was now on Gu Hengzhi, if something happened to him, all previous efforts would be wasted, Shi Shi was ready to go out to help with his bow and arrow.

Su Ye is still cracking the prescription. He knows that the shopkeeper is about to become successful, and everyone is racing against time. He has been with Su Ye for many years, and he has dealt with many disputes in the inn at the beginning, but those are all contests in the arena. This kind of deadly fighter has faced head-on, so he can only do his best.

When Gu Hengzhi stepped into the secret room under the urging, he kicked a brick in the corner of the entrance in a hurry, knocked, and the two of them reacted, and quickly lay down at the entrance of the secret room, carefully inserted a knife into the crack in the wall, and dug out the first brick When Shiguo saw a box not far from the wall, it was blocked behind by scattered bricks. The position of the box was too coincidental and too rigid. , took a lot of time.

When he finally broke open the bricks and got the box, Gu Hengzhi was overjoyed and inserted the key with him into the lock with shaking hands. Sure enough, the box opened with a click. He was trembling with excitement while holding the box, and rushed into the secret room to find Su. Dragging, it was already too late when the stone went out with the bow and arrow.

The battle in the courtyard was intense, and men in black had fallen one after another. Chang'an, Gu Linzhi, and Pei Ran were all separated and besieged in different corners of the courtyard. The men in black knew that they could break out of the encirclement with their combined efforts. The people separated, intending to attack one by one, Gu Linzhi dodged and retreated from the opponent's attacking knife, then turned around and stabbed at the opponent's lower body.

He was scratched in several places on the back. During the day, the man in black had time to rest and recuperate, but the three of them were still hanging on their spirits. They took time to take a nap between rummaging through things. Supported by increasing the dosage of pills.

Pei Ran's hand was already shaking a little. He drank Zuixianju's wine for more than a year, and it has not had much effect so far. It's all because of his strong physical fitness. But these two days have already reached a state of exhaustion. Their pills worked, and he survived these nights of assault.

The sword clashed and clanged, he turned into a drill, knocked away the opponent's knife, and pierced hard into the veins of the man in black. Quickly drawing their swords to block the blades behind them, these men in black relied on their numbers to pinch back and forth, trying their best to stab them right through.

Chang'an's left shoulder had been pierced, and the Pofeng Sword he was obsessed with Ning Zhiyuan was as powerful as a bamboo, killing two people in a row. People are more cunning, Changan's figure flashed, and his swordsmanship has improved rapidly after months of hard training, but his hands are as steady as a rock in the trembling of exhaustion, his eyes are sharp and bloodthirsty, and he is aroused with raging killing intent.

The men in black didn't realize that the young boy was so difficult to deal with, and they all gathered in his direction. When the last two men attacked, Chang'an blocked the blade in front of him with his sword, and the force was so heavy that the opponent lost his hand. Surrounded by swords and swords, the roar of wolves in the man-eating forest sounded in his ears. He frowned and pierced the man in black's throat. The sudden force brought him to kneel forward.

Chang An held the hilt of the sword tightly and turned back to block the blade stabbing from behind at the same time. The position was right, but the opponent moved down quickly, at an extremely fast speed. Gu Linzhi and Pei Ran couldn't pull away. Unable to move away at this moment, he withdrew the sword in a flash, and when the blade of the man in black pierced his right abdomen, he thrust the sword back towards the heart vein, and the other two men in black also fell to the ground. .

When Gu Linzhi and Pei Ran supported their bodies with their swords and raised their eyes to look back, Chang An had already pulled out the sword from the opponent's heart veins. The man in black stared and fell back. Even a trace of strength was exhausted.

He shook his hands and put the sword edge on the ground trying to support his body. The knife edge in his lower abdomen was bleeding out. Chang An lost his mind for a moment. Holding Ning Zhiyuan's Broken Wind Sword tightly, before being completely swallowed by the darkness, he heard someone calling Xiao Liu in a daze. He thought of Ning Zhiyuan far away in the south, his uncle...

The fifth night raid finally ended in the bloody early morning.

Su Ye sweated profusely to detoxify the formula of the poison, just in time to prepare the antidote, at the same time as Gu Hengzhi heard exclamations from the courtyard, got up and rushed out, and saw Lin Jingwan hugging Chang'an, who was bleeding all over, with the blood behind him. Following the travel-stained and pale You Xu, Gu Linzhi and Pei Ran couldn't hold each other anymore, and followed behind weakly.

Su Ye hurried forward, and when he took the person, he was frowned by the fishy smell all over his body. Under such circumstances, he lost so much blood, Su Ye looked tired, but was shocked by the cold touch of Chang An's body, and told Gu Heng Zhi hurriedly sent someone to prepare hot water, and asked Shi Shi to bring over the pills and needle packs he had brought earlier. When the needle was dropped for rescue, he did not forget to order, "Everything is ready, and it is early morning, take advantage of the next wave of black clothes. Before the person arrives, send things to Nanlin to Zhiyuan, and we can't stop now!"

Gu Linzhi was about to speak, but Pei Ran beside him swallowed three more pills first, suppressed his panting forcefully, and stretched out his hand, "Give me the things, I'm good at hiding them, the other party's people don't know when they will arrive, and they've been waiting for you all the time." Keep an eye on the Gu family, it would be best to sneak out from Xindu and let me do it, hurry up and head to Nanlin, I will try my best to find my uncle tomorrow."

Gu Linzhi was sitting not far from the bed, resting slowly, and Lin Jingwan, who had been on the road all night without sleep, heard this, You Xu hurriedly motioned for him to go, Pei Ran had just experienced a fight, looked too tired, but Seeing that Pei Ran waved his hand to signal no, they still had a tough battle to fight at night, if they ran into a man in black who was coming, Pei Ran's ability to hide would come in handy, he took a short break, and kept walking after the pill took effect gone.

Shi Shi and Gu Hengzhi sat down in the room after finishing their work, waiting for Su Ye's instructions. Gu Linzhi loosened his tension for a few days and swallowed two pills. His hands shook so badly that Lin Jingwan wanted to After getting some hot water to clean his wound and applying medicine, he relaxed a little during the treatment, Gu Linzhi cleared his throat, "Why are you here?"

You Xu frowned deeply and stared at the bloody Chang'an, and sighed softly when he heard the words, "The men in black who attacked at night are wrong, the number went to eight in the first night, but only two more in the second night, we are fighting I always felt that something was wrong. The distance between Huai'an and Nanlin was too far, and the opponent's hand could not be stretched that far. After bringing down all the men in black, the senior brother urged me and the senior brother to come to Xindu. He stayed at the Qi family to observe the situation. After confirming that Uncle Qi and the others are safe in the past two nights, he will set off and rush over."

Su Ye ordered Shi Shi to use a hot towel to warm Chang An's cold hands and feet, and while administering an emergency needle to stop the bleeding, he quickly threw a pack of medicinal powder on the table. Chang An's condition was not very good. He confessed during the interval between needle injections, "I was in a hurry and didn't bring many medicinal ingredients with me. I slightly changed the formula for brother Gu's poisoning. Although the medicinal ingredients at hand happened to be usable, they lacked the strong smell. Now I can't get it all together. The powder and water stick to the knife edge, and the poison is violent when it cuts people. It can make people fall into hallucinations immediately. Although it is not fatal, it contains strong anesthetic ingredients, which can affect the other party's physical strength in a short time. Take action, it's almost time for Nanlin. Although Su Zui is cunning, his kung fu is not as good as your uncle. It has been five days, and it will only be two days at the latest. The opponent's offensive is fierce. We have to find a way to survive these two days day!"
