Chang Geng calmly replied: "Wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he slammed the wooden door expressionlessly, leaned his back against the door, took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and gestured to Gu Yun: "Father, the leader of the rebel army wants to see you, what should I do?"

Ge Pang was startled, he subconsciously held his breath, and after a while his face turned into an eggplant.

Gu Yun's reaction was very strange.

Chang Geng saw that he was stunned for a moment, and then he actually laughed, it was a kind of tacit smile, as if he was holding a winning ticket.

"It's true that someone gave me a pillow just as I fell asleep," said Anding Hou, who was afraid of chaos in the world, "I haven't seen a live rebel leader for many years."

Ge Pangxiao was very easy to fool, seeing that Gu Yun didn't take it seriously, he immediately relaxed unsuspectingly, as if what he was about to meet was not some rebel leader, but a rare treasure!

But Chang Geng refused to listen to his nonsense, his face was tense, and all the doubts accumulated in his heart for the past few days all appeared in an instant, and he gestured silently: "Where are the Jiangnan Navy and Xuantie Camp?"

At this time, as blind as Gu Yun, he could also see the livid color on Chang Geng's face.

Although Chang Geng didn't know exactly what "Linyuan Pavilion" was, he knew that Marshal Gu and Liang Zi from Huguo Temple were well known. Among other things, if Gu Yun had someone in his hands, how could he bring Monk Lianran to be an eyesore? ?

Last time in Yanhui, there was a secret decree from the emperor. This time Gu Yun came to the south of the Yangtze River purely because he left his post without permission. It is amazing to have a few Xuanying guards by his side. Where did he get his soldiers?

And just now, why did Gu Yun pause for a moment before speaking, and then interrupted hastily and impolitely?

It was as if he was trying to make things difficult for him. Although Gu Yun was quite hateful in private, when it came to business, he absolutely shouldn't be making such unnecessary fusses.

For a moment, a terrible guess even crossed Chang Geng's mind: Could it be that Gu Yun was not pretending, that he really couldn't hear their words clearly, and only deduced what others said after seeing the clear sign language?

As soon as this thought flashed, Chang Geng felt unbelievable at first, but all kinds of weird details emerged in his mind in the past few days.

First of all, Gu Yun is not a taciturn person, but in the past few days, whether they get along in private or get together, Gu Yun has never "spoke" to him, and all necessary communication is almost through sign language. Are they all so heavily guarded?By the way, unless the monk who can only sign language is present anyway.

Second, Gu Yun got on a merchant ship as a perfumer. There are many not-so-famous perfumers in the world. Why did he pretend to be a "Mr. Fragrance"?Thinking about it carefully, this not only does not have any good effect, but also adds a lot of trouble, and it is very likely to expose himself, Chang Geng does not believe that Gu Yun is only here to hone his acting skills.

The third is a detail, knowing that the monk enters Gu Yun's room without knocking - is that monk daring and ignorant of etiquette...or knowing that it is useless to knock?

Chang Geng should have thought of these doubts a long time ago, but Gu Shuai has been in the army for a long time, and he has an indescribable aura about him, which makes people believe that he is in control of everything, and other people just need to be driven by him. Unconsciously, many unnatural places are ignored.

Ge Pangxiao noticed that Chang Geng's expression was different, and he looked at this and then that for no apparent reason.

Outside the door, Zhai Song knocked lightly on the door again, and said loudly: "My general is waiting, please hurry up, Mr. Zhang."

Gu Yun patted Chang Geng's shoulder, leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice: "The Black Iron Camp is here, don't be afraid."

After speaking, he took out the black cloth that was blindfolded and handed it to Chang Geng, motioning him to put it on for him.

Chang Geng took the cloth strip, his expression was cloudy for a moment, and it covered Gu Yun's eyes.

Where Gu Yun couldn't see, Chang Geng first shook his head at Ge Pangxiao.

Before Ge Pangxiao had time to realize what he meant, he saw Chang Geng saying in his own direction: "Father, if you continue to do this, I will not recognize you."

Ge Pangxiao's eyes widened: "Huh?"

With a smile on the corner of Gu Yun's mouth, he waved in Ge Pangxiao's direction: "Stop talking, you two, come with me, and don't leave my side for a while, it's good to gain some experience here."

Ge Pangxiao was once again stunned by this inappropriate conversation.

Chang Geng's heart sank - he really couldn't hear, he just knew through some way that he was talking to Ge Pangxiao, so could his eyes also...

But a few days ago it was clearly fine.

Before he could think about it, Gu Yun had already pushed open the wooden door and walked out.

Chang Geng's heart skipped a beat, and he ran up to him in a panic, this time he couldn't care less about his shyness and awkwardness, he nervously grabbed Gu Yun's arm with one hand, and walked around behind him with the other hand, trembling with fear. Carry him forward.

Gu Yun thought it was the sudden change that made Chang Geng uneasy, so he casually patted Chang Geng's arm back.

Chang Geng: "..."

In view of Gu Yun's tricks towards his own people, he can no longer tell whether the little adoptive father is sincere or pretending to be confident.

Zhai Song, who was waiting at the door, saw Chang Geng and Ge Pangxiao who were following Gu Yun, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, please, hey? Isn't that master and girl here?"

"The girl is not acclimatized, so the master stayed to take care of her." Chang Geng glanced at Zhai Song, all his energy was tied to Gu Yun, and he still took time to smile with a needle hidden in his cotton, "Why, the general wants us all to come and check on him, the old man?" ?”

Zhai Songke said politely: "Young Master, what's the point?"

These were originally a few desolate small islands, scattered on the surface of the East China Sea like sheep droppings, the largest one can walk around the island in about a day, the smaller one is only about an acre square, and the sea dragon battleships are full. Yes, there are white steaming iron cableways connecting each other leisurely, extending in all directions, looking from a distance, it looks like a city hanging on the sea.

While walking, Chang Geng briefly drew some knowledge on Gu Yun's palm.At the same time, the young man couldn't help but have doubts in his heart - the location of this small island is indeed hidden, and it may not be easy for people to smuggle some Ziliujin here, but this is about to build a Penglai fairy mountain. Is the Jiangnan navy dead?

Or do they actually exist in the Jiangnan Navy?

Just as he was thinking wildly, Zhai Song, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

A group of people who looked like dancing girls walked past them lightly in lotus steps. They walked on the swaying iron cableway, as if their feet did not touch the ground, and they looked like a group of fairies in the misty white smoke.

The first woman in white was holding a piano in her arms. When she saw Zhai Song, she stopped and bowed her head to bow. It was very comfortable, but when I turned around, I couldn't remember what she looked like.

Zhai Song: "Don't dare, Miss Chen please first, don't keep the general waiting for a long time."

The woman didn't refuse, she nodded in greeting, held the Qin Fu for a blessing, and drifted away, a scent of tranquilizing incense came over her face.

Chang Geng saw that the corners of Gu Yun's mouth turned up slightly, as if he was smiling.

At the same time, Mrs. Cao pretending to be a Dongying boy ran all the way to a very inconspicuous boat. The guard was sleeping. Mrs. Cao put her hands behind her back, holding an iron rod in her hand, and approached.

He was thin and thin, and his hands and feet seemed to be lighter than others. When he approached the guard, he didn't respond. Mrs. Cao looked at the snoring man through the moonlight on the sea, and saw that the snoring was left in his neck, so she felt relieved. Thinking: "It's so shabby."

A wave gently brushed by, the boat trembled slightly, the guard turned over and almost fell off the wooden chair, and when he woke up with a mouthful, he realized that there was someone beside him, the guard turned over and sat up, and saw standing in front of him A boy from Japan who couldn't tell the difference between male and female, greeted him crisply in Japanese dialect.

The guard relaxed, rubbed his eyes, and was about to take a good look at the person in front of him, when Mrs. Cao swung her stick down and cut it on the back of his head.

The guard fell to the ground without saying a word.

The assailant patted his chest and said repeatedly: "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death."

Mrs. Cao was frightened, but her hands were unambiguous. She took a bunch of keys from the guard's waist, turned around and got into the cabin. As the person who guided him here said, there was a prison cell. , twenty or thirty people who looked like craftsmen were imprisoned inside. As soon as Mrs. Cao showed up, there was a low cry from inside like a frightened bird: "There are Japanese pirates!"

"Hush——" Mrs. Cao put a big hat on her head in a low voice, "I'm not from Dongying, I'm the Marshal Gu of Anding Hou who brought us to counter the rebellion, let you go out first."

The night became darker, and a layer of light mist was transpiring on the waves of the sea.

Liao Ran and a man in black with quick hands and feet got into a cabin, and dozens of steel armors were neatly lined up in the cabin.

Liao Ran was carrying a bag, rushed to take out a bottle, turned around and threw it to his companion, the two looked at each other, and started spraying inkfish juice on the steel armor at the same time.

Zhai Song brought Gu Yun and the others to an inconspicuous sea jellyfish all the way.

Before the cableway came to an end, the laughter and music in the cabin could be faintly heard. The moment Di Song stepped onto the deck, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, a roar that Chang Geng was very familiar with came from the corner, and then, the white steam exploded, and an iron puppet hidden in the darkness suddenly stepped out, swung a knife and slashed at Gu Yun.

Even Zhai Song was caught off guard, and immediately screamed in fright, and sat down on the ground.

Chang Geng reflexively wanted to draw his sword, but someone pushed his hand unexpectedly and knocked the sword back.

The next moment, his arms were empty, and Gu Yun, who was unable to see and hear, turned over from behind the iron puppet's knife. His figure was almost freehand, and the back of his foot casually slightly touched the monster's shoulder. The light of the knife illuminated a slender strip of his face.

Chang Geng's pupils shrink—wait a minute, isn't he blindfolded and unable to hear?

The light of the saber was fleeting, and the next moment, Gu Yun disappeared behind the iron puppet, and the screams suddenly rose in the night sky, then stopped abruptly.

Di Song shivered violently.

The iron puppet's movement got stuck in mid-air, and then, the body of a Dongying man was thrown over. Gu Yun's long robe fluttered up and down in the sea breeze. He stood on the deck, holding the Dongying man's waist knife in his hand, Disgustedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it, then raised his head slightly, and stretched out a hand as if no one else was there.

Chang Geng's throat twitched slightly, his heart beat like a drum, and he immediately stepped forward to support him.

Gu Yun said: "If this is the sincerity of the general, we really don't want to come."

Zhai Song wiped the sweat from his cheeks, and was about to speak, but Gu Yun stopped him.

"There's no need to explain," Gu Yun said flatly, "The deaf can't hear."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. At this moment, the door of the cabin, full of singing and dancing, suddenly opened.

Two rows of private soldiers came out side by side, making way for a passage. Chang Geng turned his head and saw a white-faced and beardless middle-aged man in the cabin, staring at Gu Yun's back and shouting: "Mr. Zhang, stay a step!"

Gu Yun turned a deaf ear to it, Chang Geng wrote on his palm: "The thieves have come out."

Gu Yun thought in his heart: "Son, he is not a thief."

The middle-aged man stood up, cupped his hands and said: "I have heard Mr. Zhang's name for a long time, but the dog emperor has such a talent but doesn't know how to make good use of it. He is really exhausted."

Ge Pangxiao became more and more confused as he listened, thinking: "Didn't Mr. Zhang just pick up an alias randomly by Lord Hou? Where did he come from a long-known name? This kind words are too fake."

Gu Yun didn't shy away from people, turned his head and asked Chang Geng: "What did he say?"

"I said I have admired your name for a long time, and the emperor would die if he didn't use you." Chang Geng wrote briefly, in the blink of an eye, he connected the cause and effect.

By the way, Gu Yun just pretended to be a perfumer and got on a merchant ship at first.

Like those boatmen and Dongpu guards, Xiangshi also needs his own people, but he is a small person after all. Why did the chief thief ask to see him by name?

Either their identities were exposed, or the monks used some method to forge a false identity for Gu Yun!

Immediately, Chang Geng thought of Gu Yun's smile after a brief moment of surprise when he heard the thief chief see him, and felt uncomfortable—did he know it then?

After a year, he didn't have to look up when he looked at Gu Yun, the iron wrist buckle specially made by the boy could no longer be worn, and he even felt that Gu Yun, who was not wearing armor, could be grabbed with one hand.

But the sense of long distance that he couldn't catch up to no matter how hard he chased, resurfaced in the boy's mind again.

Gu Yun didn't look back, but nodded coldly.

The middle-aged man clasped his hands and said: "Although I was a Japanese barbarian who didn't understand etiquette just now, but I have never met Mr. Zhang, and I saw that my lord's eyes and ears are inconvenient. Although I have already received a letter of recommendation, I still don't know the sage's brilliance." , haha, this time it is a good experience——Qingxu, quickly pour wine for Mr. Zhang and accompany me."

Chang Geng briefly conveyed the middle-aged man's nonsense to Gu Yun, and before he finished writing, he saw a person standing up during the banquet, it was the woman in white who had just met on the way.

She poured a bowl of wine expressionlessly—not a glass, but a bowl.

The woman walked over slowly without saying a word, and handed it directly to Gu Yun.

The Anshenxiang that I had just smelled and the sea breeze came towards me. Although she was just an actress and geisha, there was no obsequiousness in her appearance and demeanor, on the contrary she was a bit indifferent.

Gu Yun stretched out his hand to take the wine from the woman's hand, and seemed to take a low sniff.

Then the first smile appeared on his face, and he thanked him in a low voice, before Chang Geng could stop him, Gu Yun had already picked up the bowl and drank it down in one gulp.

The woman lowered her eyes in a polite manner, bowed slightly, and stepped aside. The middle-aged man laughed and said: "Mr. Zhang is so happy, I just like such a straightforward person."

Chang Geng became anxious on the spot, grabbed Gu Yun's hand, and wrote in his palm: "What if it's poisonous?"

For a moment, Gu Yun thought it was the blind thief who asked the question, and replied calmly: "To poison Mr. Xiang, who can't see or hear, I'm afraid your Excellency will have to work hard to find some tasteless medicine."

Chang Geng: "..."

Fortunately, Gu Yun's original attitude was very arrogant. Although this sentence sounded a bit like a stick, it didn't show anything particularly wrong.

At the same time, he became more and more sure that Gu Yun really couldn't hear, and he didn't pretend at all.

The middle-aged man said: "Please, please take a seat."

This time Chang Geng didn't dare to make any mistakes, and conveyed it to Gu Yun in every detail.

A group of people walked into the cabin, and the indifferent girl started playing the piano.

Middle-aged man: "Fortunately, that foolish king lost his morals, so that we can gather together the heroes of the world. It is really a blessing in my life."

Gu Yun sneered and said, "I don't think it's any good to be in the same room with a bunch of pirates."

There are thorns in every word of his, and this cynicism inexplicably brings out a bit of worldly popularity.

The middle-aged man didn't think it was disobedient, obviously he was going all out for rebellion and wanted to see all the freaks in the world, he said with a smile: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things, sir, it is biased to say that, since Emperor Wu opened the sea, how many barbarians The things pouring into our beams, just behind the batch of farming puppets sent down in the south of the Yangtze River, there are foreign shadows, as long as things can be done, does it matter if they are from the East or the West?"

As he spoke, he began to express his emotions, listing all kinds of malpractices among the people since the Yuanhe period. The people Chang Geng and Ge Pangxiao usually deal with are not the mysterious monks of the Huguo Temple, or the contemporary great scholars hired by the Houfu with a lot of money. Listening to this logical argument, I feel very fresh-no sentence can stand up to scrutiny, it is really full of nonsense, and I don't know what to say.

Gu Yun didn't say anything, just sneered.

After sitting for about a stick of incense, he seemed to suddenly lose his patience, and interrupted the middle-aged man's words, saying: "Zhang has come to seek refuge with all sincerity, but my lord has found a puppet who learns to talk to me, which is really chilling." .”

The middle-aged man's complexion changed.

Without further ado, Gu Yun pulled Chang Geng to stand up: "In this case, let's go."

The middle-aged man shouted: "Stay! Mr. Zhang, stay!"

Gu Yun turned a deaf ear.

At this moment, the guards at the gate suddenly parted. A tall, thin man wearing a cloak strode in and said loudly, "Mr. Zhang, do you think Mr. Huang is qualified to talk to you?"

The middle-aged man snatched it down a few steps, came to the side of the thin and tall man, and said to Gu Yun: "This is my Huang Qiao, Mr. Huang. This is a big matter, and the identity of the gentleman must be verified. Mr. Wanwang forgive me."

Chang Geng frowned, always felt that the word "Huang Qiao" was somewhat familiar, and was about to write on Gu Yun's palm, but Gu Yun gently pinched his fingers.

That Gu Yun, who was deaf just now, somehow heard Zhai Song's words.

"Master Huang." Gu Yun whispered, "Jiangnan Water and Land Admiral, second rank... really surprised me."

As he spoke, he slowly removed the cloth strips covering his eyes. His eyes were like cold stars, how could he be blind?

He pulled his arm out of Chang Geng's hand, waved his hand at the worried young man, and said with a somewhat unscrupulous smile: "Oh, Mr. Huang, when I was saddled with Old General Du, you were still a general." , it’s been so many years, do you still remember me?”
