Sha Po Lang

As for Jing Xu, Gu Yun only took one look at him and found that there was nothing to add, so he quickly left this big bandit leader and everyone else as equals - at this moment, he was more concerned about when Chang Geng would leave.

Just in time, Chang Geng said that he was going to meet up with his companions who were investigating the secret ways of bandits here. Gu Yun was greatly relieved, but on the surface he allocated a small group of soldiers from the Black Iron Battalion in a serious and nervous manner, and told him Watch out for bandits who slip through the net.

Seeing him leave, Gu Yun said to Xuanqi next to him: "Find two people to watch over for me. If the Fourth Highness comes back too soon, find something for him to do and don't let him come over."

Xuan Qi took the lead and left, and Gu Yun then looked back.

He swept the captured bandits from head to toe, with a gloomy look in his eyes: "I just have one question, how many entrances and exits are there in these underground mouse holes in your land? The first person from the west starts, beheaded on the spot without saying a word, the person in front finishes speaking, the latter can be supplemented, and I’m sorry if you can’t make up new things, the one in the front can take advantage of it—let’s start, count to three Come on, those who don't speak will be chopped off, and those who talk nonsense will also be chopped off."

All the mountain bandits were stunned by this Hou An Ding who was even more bandit than a bandit.

Xuan Qi, who was ordered to interrogate, asked questions from the first person with no expression on his face. The first person looked around instinctively, hesitating.

Gu Yun made a downward cutting gesture without hesitation, and the Wind Cutting Blade in Xuan Qi's hand moved accordingly.

Xuanqi usually just kills people, he has never raised monkeys, and he doesn't study beheading much. The wind cutting blade spun around the bandit's neck, but unfortunately got stuck in the joint of the neck, and the bandit's head was broken in half It was still half connected, and the throat just happened not to be broken, and the screams frightened the birds in the mountains far and near to blow their hairs.

Xuan Qi squinted his eyes, and around his wrist, he exerted more force, and it was finally considered as the result of that unlucky guy.

The blood spurted out like a mountain spring, splashing all over the people next to him, and the second bandit shivered into an overloaded gold box, his mind was blank, and he tremblingly pointed to the exit behind him: "Then, There's a..."

Gu Yun sneered: "Nonsense, can I not see?"

Then the second head also fell to the ground.

The third bandit urinated from the horror of the half-headed elephant just now, and fell to the ground with a "plop", holding his head in his hands, lest the executioner in black armor would be impatient and cut it off, and confessed in one breath After opening a dozen or so entrances and exits of secret passages, the people behind him were about to shoot him through the back.

With this beginning, the rest will be too simple, it's a way of life or death, anyway, it's useless to keep the secret, people behind will always say, it's just right to confess as early as possible and save your life.

Gu Yun remained calm, but he was really shocked by the huge roots of the bandits in the southern border. Some of the entrances and exits given by these bandits have already been exposed in Linyuan Pavilion—otherwise, it would not be so easy even for the Black Tie Camp. Block these rolling gophers halfway, but there are more, even Linyuan Pavilion has never heard of it.

Behind him, the Xuantie soldiers left quietly, verifying the authenticity of these entrances and exits one by one, guarding every opening of the secret passage.In less than a stick of incense, a group of mountain bandits have emptied the secret roads extending in all directions underground here, like drumming to spread flowers, without leaving any residue.

In a blink of an eye, this deadly "flower" came to the instigator of the incident, the bandit leader Jing Xu.

In this life, Jingxu has vigorously slashed a bloody road from the dead to occupy the mountain and become the king. He may not have much talent, but he is not lacking in both courage and cruelty. He took a deep breath, straightened his waist, squeezed the breath he had been brewing for many years into bones to support his body, and raised his triangular eyes to stare at Gu Yun who strolled in front of him.

Jingxu said: "I've only heard people say that Marshal Gu is unparalleled in style, but I didn't expect that he is also very good at extorting confessions by torture. He really has a lot of skills."

"You don't need to shoot flattery," Gu Yun said with a half-smile, "War is killing people. First, I didn't close your dark room, second, I didn't set up a bed of nails, and third, I didn't invite you to sit on a tiger stool." , The word 'extorting a confession by torture' is really worthy of my name. If you have nothing to say, just go with them."

The corners of Jingxu's eyes twitched: "There are 64 entrances and exits in the secret passage here. They have already explained all of them. The few useless things in front of them have obviously started to talk nonsense. Forgive me for being stupid. What's the point?"

"Insurance, there's no intention," Gu Yun said with a smile, "What if there is something that slipped through the net? Why, do you want to persuade me to save some chopping? Anyway, you have a lot of people, don't worry, you won't be able to finish chopping."

Jingxu: "..."

Gu Yun: "Since they are headed by you, you must know something else, why don't you tell me something I haven't heard of?"

Jingxu clenched her teeth tightly, thinking of Fu Zhicheng, the chief culprit who caused all this, she wished she could peel that person into cramps, and said through gritted teeth: "If I tell about Fu Zhicheng's smuggling of Ziliujin for treason, will the commander-in-chief be interested in hearing it?" ?”

The cold smile on Gu Yun's face faded away: "If I didn't know this, how could I have guessed that you guys would be so bold as to come to the southwestern warehouse to deliver food? I'll give you another chance to tell me something I don't know."

Xuantie's wind-cutting blade stood beside Jingxu's ear, and he could feel the cold iron's inhumanity with a slight movement.He also knew that only a thin wisp of steam was needed, and the wind cutter would cut off his head like melons and vegetables. That Gu Yun is ruthless, he doesn't let oil and salt in, his good head will be with all mediocrity Rolled to the ground like a busy person, covered with dust, nothing special.

Jingxu: "What do you want to know?"

Gu Yun waved his hand, and the Wind Cutting Blade moved a few inches away from Jingxu: "I want to know who the person who connected with you after the Nanyang Ziliujin entered the country was the person who asked you to store Ziliujin privately and hoard armor Who is it that advised you to use those few kites to confuse me, and who is the person who seized the opportunity to occupy the southwestern cargo area?"

Jingxu clenched her teeth tightly.

"If I were you, I wouldn't risk my life to protect that person," Gu Yun suddenly stepped forward, and said in a low voice, "Look at the secret passage with 64 exits behind you, Daoist, you said you people have nothing to do with your time." When you drill down, even the Great Luo Immortal will not be able to dig you out three feet into the ground... Who encouraged you to gather the power of the three mountains so that we can catch them all in one go, huh?"

Gu Yun is a master at turning black and white. He has three specialties in his life: being able to type, being able to fool around—everything that has no shadow seems to be true in his mouth, not to mention that when he thinks about it carefully, what he said actually has no shadow at all. Xu said that he was in a cold sweat.

It took him longer to interrogate the bandit leader here than Chang Geng spent looking for someone. Not long after, Chang Geng brought someone back, but he didn't pass the mountain, and was stopped by the soldiers of the Xuantie Camp dutifully. He imitated Chang Geng: "Your Highness, the Marshal asked you to rest here for a while."

Chang Geng was not very surprised, upon hearing this, he didn't even ask a single question, and waited obediently at the same spot.

In these years, although Chang Geng has not met Gu Yun with his own eyes, he has followed General Zhong to study every battle that Gu Yun fought, and studied every change in his views from the time he became a Marquis to the present, and even his words— ——If Chang Geng went to Gu Yun's study room and randomly found an old copybook, he could roughly tell that it was written by Gu Yun at a very old age.

This is far better than hanging out with Gu Yun all day and listening to him bragging that he is "a flower in the Northwest".

When Gu Yun glanced over with hesitant eyes earlier, Chang Geng knew that he wanted to force a confession, and he really didn't want him to see it. Today, Gu Yun still instinctively maintains his precarious "image of a loving father" in front of Chang Geng.

Chang Geng had no objection to this, and cherished the little adoptive father's unspoken love and affection very much.

Chang Geng was followed by two people, they were Ge Pangxiao and Cao Niangzi who came to Beijing with him from Yanhui Town - now called Ge Chen and Cao Chunhua.

Ge Chen was a cute little chubby boy when he was a teenager, but now he has grown up, not to mention being fat, he looks tall and strong. Just looking at his body, he can be called a "big guy", but it's a pity that he carried it on his shoulders. His head seemed to be picked up wrongly, with a white and tender round face stuck to it, with two small lumps of trembling thin skin and tender flesh on his cheeks, covering his small nose and small mouth like watery tofu. The eyes and the seven orifices all reveal a simple and harmless look.

Cao Chunhua's changes were even greater. No matter what he thought in his heart, his body could not help but reveal the skeleton of an adult man. No matter how hard it was to have the seamless indistinguishable male and female in his youth, he had no choice but to Admitting that he is really a stinky man, he changed back into men's clothes, but reluctantly changed his name to "Cao Chunhua"—except for himself, probably no one can tell why "Chunhua" is better than "Lady" .

"Why don't you let him pass?" Cao Chunhua stretched his neck and asked, "I haven't seen my Lord Hou for several years, and I couldn't sleep because of thinking about it for the first few days."

Chang Geng glanced at him cryptically, and silently made a note to Cao Chunhua, and when he got enough of fifty nympho words such as "my lord" from his mouth, he would find trouble and beat this guy up.

Cao Chunhua was ignorant, and asked directly: "By the way, big brother, if you return to Beijing this time, you will be crowned king and knight, right? I heard that the first emperor has already prepared the Yanbei Palace, so you will move there later." Or live in the Hou Mansion?"

Chang Geng was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "That depends on whether Lord Hou wants me or not."

Thinking back now, Chang Geng can no longer remember where he got the courage to leave the Marquis Mansion and Gu Yun with all his might a few years ago. With a handful of fate, it will be difficult to accumulate the cruelty of the past even if he is killed.

Chen Qingxu told him to "calm down and avoid delusional thoughts". Although it has a certain effect on restraining Wuergu's seizures, people's joy, anger, sorrow and joy are all connected. When resentment and anger are restrained, joy will naturally become almost invisible Well, after a long time, people will be like a grass that has never seen the sun—although it is alive and not dead, the green leaves are almost white.

Chang Geng thought that he was about to become a Buddha.

Until seeing Gu Yun again.

Although driving along with Gu Yun was exhausting, he spent the whole day dealing with rebels or bandits, but Chang Geng's heart was always filled with irrational happiness for no reason—as if he knew this day when he opened his eyes early in the morning That vibrant, anticipating, eager joy that something good is about to happen.

Even though he knew nothing good would happen, Urgu still visited him like a dream every day.

If he becomes king, will Gu Yun keep him?

Thinking rationally, Gu Yun will definitely stay, and the Hou Mansion will at least be willing to take him in until he formally starts a family. If he doesn't start a family, maybe he can keep on brazenly. This kind of idea is too good. It was only by force that he didn't bring out the irresistible smirk.

They waited for about two quarters before Gu Yun arrived.

The secret path in the mountain was like a huge spider web, extending in all directions and connecting with each other. Gu Yun beheaded more than 40 heads in total, eliminated some people's frightened and crying nonsense, and finally found 64 secret path entrances and exits.

After hearing this, Ge Chen was very shocked: "What? Our two brothers have been savages in the mountains for more than half a year, and only found more than 30 entrances and exits. How come the Marquis interrogated more than 60 as soon as he came!"

"If you hadn't figured it out, I wouldn't be able to stop them, let alone interrogate them." Gu Yun glanced at Ge Chen, held back for a moment, and finally couldn't hold back, beckoning to him, "Come here."

Ge Chen thought that the Marshal had something important to tell him, so he rushed over, but unexpectedly, Marshal Gu, who was still serious just now, suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched him on the face.

Gu Yun wanted to do this a long time ago, his short hand problem was already terminally ill, and he couldn't help but want to pinch something that felt like a hand.

"It's so fun." Gu Yun squeezed for a while, thinking, "How did it grow?"

Ge Chen: "..."

Cao Chunhua's eyes were full of affection, and she was so envious that she could see through her eyes. She whispered, "Your Majesty treats one more than another, why don't you pinch my face?"

He didn't dare to say this in front of Gu Yun, so only Chang Geng heard it, and Chang Geng thought: "Okay, 48 times."

Cao Chunhua shuddered inexplicably, looked around, and suddenly felt an ominous premonition of imminent danger.

Following Jingxu's confession, Gu Yun drew the blueprint of the secret road in this mountainous area, and then ordered people to smoke along the entrance and exit of the secret road. After three days of smoking, the mountain was smoked into a chimney, and the sojourners inside were smoked. Bats, rats, poisonous insects and other things all dragged their families out, but they never saw the person Gu Yun wanted to catch.

A few soldiers volunteered to pull up the rope and go into the secret passages to search. They searched the secret passages with 64 entrances and exits from sunrise to nightfall. They didn't even find a hair, and only carried out the sand table mentioned by Jingxu.

On the fourth day, the subordinates came to report that they searched around Kuai Lantu and indeed found a suspicious person—a guest minister raised by Kuai Lantu, whose name was Wang Bufan.

This guest seldom came out to meet people, but several of Kuai Lantu's confidantes knew that Kuai Lantu highly respected and trusted him, so he set aside a yard for him in the mansion and sent his confidants to live in it. There are servants and beautiful maids to serve.

Gu Yun: "Where is this 'Uncommon' now?"

The subordinate replied: "Run away, the servants in his yard were poisoned to death without anyone noticing, when the family found out, the bones were cold."

"Marshal," at this time, another cavalryman came to report, "We went to check the hiding places that Jingxu recruited to transfer Ziliujin, and they went to the empty building, and there was not even a piece of paper left."

Gu Yun silently turned the old Buddhist beads in his hand, the mysterious guest beside Kuai Lantu, the "Mr. He always felt that there was a big conspiracy involved.

These people who secretly stirred up the situation in southern Xinjiang appeared without anyone noticing, and then disappeared without a trace. Their identities and purposes are also a mystery.

It seems to be an enemy, but it seems that he helped him clean up this group of people in a swift and messy manner.

Gu Yun couldn't figure out whether he messed up other people's situation, or got into other people's situation.

The person Gu Yun dug three feet to find was in a small and unremarkable cargo ship on the South Seas.

Mr. Ya has already changed back into the complicated western clothes, looking down at a map.Liang's vast lands and mountains are all on this small sheepskin drawing. He picked up a cinnabar red pen and drew a small red circle in the southern Xinjiang.

Together with this stroke, there are already three red circles on the old map, and the other two are in Beijiang and East China Sea.

"Mr. Ya" lingered on the map for a while, and finally landed on the entrance of the ancient Silk Road in the west.

"As of today, our game has been laid out." Mr. Ya laughed, "There is one lead wire left, as long as you light it, you can 'boom'—"

Wang Bufan, who looked like a native of the Central Plains, continued: "Light up a great fire in the Central Plains."

The two looked at each other with a smile, raised their wine glasses and touched each other crisply.

Such a big event happened in southern Xinjiang, the Emperor of the court was naturally furious, and urged Gu Yun to quickly escort the bandit leader and the judge back to Beijing.

Gu Yun had no choice but to put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, and set off for the north.

But remembering that his precious godson was finally willing to go back with him, and the Hou Mansion was going to be lively again, he looked forward to "returning to Beijing" again.

"When he grows up, people like him a lot more," Gu Yun secretly said to Shen Yi with great comfort, "It's just that he suddenly became so sensible, and I'm not used to it."

"Cheap." Shen Yi commented succinctly, and then received a whip as he wished.

Shen Yi asked again: "By the way, Fu Zhicheng has been arrested, what are you going to do?"

Gu Yun put away his joking expression, remained silent for a moment, and said seriously: "Ji Ping, in fact, I have often thought these years, is it a bit of a waste of talent if you follow me?"

Shen Yi glanced at him silently.

Gu Yun: "You are knowledgeable about the past and the present, Wen Ke entered the Imperial Academy, and Wu Neng'an side, after so many years in Lingshu Academy and Xuantieying, it's time to make a comeback..."

Although Chang Geng had already analyzed it, Shen Yi was still moved when he first heard what he said.

The two are comrades and friends, although they are close friends who can rely on their wives and orphans, but Gu Yun's dog can't spit out ivory, and has never expressed his appreciation to him face to face.

Shen Yi's eyes felt hot for a moment: "Zixi, actually you don't have to..."

"Besides, I'm also very sorry," Gu Yun added sincerely, "You said that a beautiful man like me, who was born with a father and mother, was always standing by your side, causing you to become an old bachelor all these years. I'm really... tsk, I'm so sorry."

Shen Yi: "..."

This "beautiful man raised by his parents" finished his two sentences a day, and seeing that he was about to get into nonsense, Shen Yi had no choice but to scribble away the heartfelt stuff stuck in his throat, and let out a "bah", The horse belly ran away.

Chang Geng saw it not far away, and hurriedly took the opportunity to run over, took Shen Yi's place, and walked side by side with Gu Yun: "Why did General Shen run away again?"

Gu Yun touched his nose with a half-smile.

Chang Geng saw a leaf on his light fur armor, so he reached out to pick it off for him, and said carefully: "Father, no matter how light the armor is, it weighs about forty catties. Take it off quickly, right?"

Gu Yun didn't object, and Chang Geng stretched out his hand to help take apart the light fur armor, and took them off one by one. The people were too close, and the two horses saw each other for some reason, and they became entangled with each other.

Gu Yun freed up a hand to poke his horse's head, and reprimanded him: "Don't be a hooligan."

Half of his arm armor was removed, and with such a light flick, it almost flew off his wrist, and brought out something in his sleeve.

Chang Geng quickly caught it in his hand, and found that it was actually a poorly made small bamboo flute.
