The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 404 Breaking In
"They're all rubbish. This can make him run away. Hurry up and chase after him. He took away important things." His Highness touched his blood-stained arm and yelled at the guards.

The guard holding the bow and arrow was a little at a loss. The masked man fought with his master just now. How did they shoot arrows?

Besides, the master kept saying that he wanted to keep alive, so when the masked man ran away, they were ordered to shoot arrows, but unfortunately, they still let people run away.

"Yes!" Jin Can led the man over the wall and chased after the masked man.

His Highness turned around and ran to the stable, and the rest of the guards followed suit.

Ask someone to guard the study firmly, and then several people rode their horses and also ran to the west.

The masked man ran very hard while touching his blood-stained chest.He was in a panic when he came out, the east was heavily guarded, his horses were in a forest to the west, and there were people waiting to meet him.

He ran forward all the way, running fast, and suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind him.

Damn it!Those people came on horseback.

In the dark night, it was snowing heavily at this moment, and he looked at the surrounding scenery through the white light reflected by the snow, trying to find a place to hide.

It's a pity that the flying snowflakes made him unable to open his eyes.

There was a faint fragrance, and after wiping his face, he vaguely saw a Zhuangzi not far from his right hand.

Turning around and looking behind him, the snow was too heavy, covering the traces of his passing in such a short while.

He let go of his heart and staggered up the wall of Zhuangzi.

"My lord! Do you want to tie your hair?" Mingyan looked at Gu Chengyu's damp hair and asked.

"No need, I'm going to take a rest later. When Ming Mo comes back, if I haven't rested yet, let him come to see me."

Gu Chengyu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and prepared to admire the cold plum picture he made during the day.

Although the painting has been completed, the signature has not yet been written.

"Yes!" Ming Yan replied, thinking of Ming Mo who had been away for half an hour.

"Ming Mo should be back soon." Ming Yan opened the window a crack, looked out, and found that the fire in the east had disappeared, presumably the fire had been extinguished.

Gu Chengyu got up and walked to the study room. This study room is connected to the bedroom, and it is also connected to the hot spring room. Gu Chengyu is most satisfied with this one.

After entering the study, he looked at the map of cold plums on the table.The ink was dry, he thought about it, and stamped his personal seal on it.

He glanced at the painting he made, and found that it already had a bit of the charm of Sam Mei, and nodded in satisfaction, it was not in vain for him to practice Danqing for several years.

Suddenly, Gu Chengyu's hand holding the painting paused, he put down the painting in his hand, stood up gently, and took down the sword hanging on the wall from his hand.

Someone came in, he heard footsteps, it was definitely not Mingmo or Mingyan.

This person's breath was a little disordered, and although his footsteps were light, he was flustered.The first thing Gu Chengyu suspected was that there were thieves in the village.

Obviously this person is a Lianjiazi, and he is not familiar with the furnishings of the house, so he should be from the Zhuangzi.

Gu Chengyu heard the thief wandering around in the bedroom, threw the sword into the space, pulled out the sword body with his mind, and held it in his hand again.

He slowly moved towards the bedroom, and appeared in the bedroom within a few steps.

It was a masked man in black with his back turned to him, probably looking for expensive things in the house.

Gu Chengyu inadvertently glanced at the ground, probably not a thief.

Now that he was sure he wasn't a thief, Gu Chengyu made a decisive decision and chose to act first.

Lifting the sword, he greeted the masked man. When the masked man felt the sword energy coming from behind, he hurriedly turned around to resist, but he was a step too late.

A sword was drawn on his back, and with a muffled grunt, the masked man retreated a few steps away.

He took a closer look, and Gu Chengyu's face was as white as jade under the candlelight, and it looked very familiar. It turned out to be him?

It's too bad, he is not Gu Chengyu's opponent at all, let alone injured, he doesn't know whether to reveal his identity.But if it is not exposed, will Gu Chengyu let him go?
Today is really unlucky, the original plan was disrupted, and nothing went smoothly.He touched the brochure in his arms, it's okay!It's not a return without success.

Gu Chengyu originally planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue him, but found that the masked man was staring at him fixedly, and did not move at all.

Gu Chengyu's heart changed, could this be an acquaintance?
Gu Chengyu saw that he didn't do anything, but he didn't intend to talk nonsense, so he caught him first and then talked.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu was about to lie in front of him again, the masked man became anxious, and quickly shouted in a hoarse voice: "Wait! I didn't intend to hurt you, I just passed by here."

In just two sentences, the wounds on his back and chest couldn't stop bleeding.

The blood donation soaked the black clothes, and Gu Chengyu could hear the sound of blood dripping to the floor.

"Oh? Then please leave now, I can spare your life!"

Gu Chengyu didn't put down his sword, he already believed that the other party really passed by.

This is obviously an injury suffered in another house, and he may have strayed into his Zhuangzi while escaping, or there may be pursuers who wanted to hide in his Zhuangzi.

If the latter, then his situation is equally dangerous.Maybe the chaser will think that he and this person are accomplices, and it will be hard to tell if they really have something to say.

This person was injured, and the wound on his chest has not been treated. It must have flowed all the way here. Fortunately, the snow outside is heavy now, so it should be able to hide his traces.

As long as the masked man left, he didn't intend to care about it. Even if others came in to search, they couldn't find anyone, and there was no evidence that the masked man had been here.

The masked man gasped a little. If he ran again, he would definitely not be able to run anymore. There was only one dead end to go out, so he hesitated.

When the two were at a stalemate, Ming Mo's voice came from outside the door.

"Young master, are you asleep?"

Ming Mo had already held the sword in his hand, the candlelight in the room was flickering, and two figures were reflected on the door and window.He was absolutely sure that one of them was the son, but the other was not Mingyan.

He believed in the young master's ability, seeing that he hadn't made a move yet, he planned to stand still and wait for the two to fight, then he would join in.

The masked man became a little nervous, he stared at Gu Chengyu closely, thinking of countermeasures.

He can't even beat Gu Chengyu, let alone add another follower, and that follower's ability is not weak.

"What? You still don't want to leave? The people behind are about to catch up, right?"

Gu Chengyu is a little strange, does this person still plan to rely on him?He won't protect him, who knows who this person is?

The master is chasing after him, maybe this person just took something important from him, he doesn't want to get involved in right and wrong.

The masked man hesitated for a while before planning to leave the place.He couldn't implicate others, and he couldn't reveal his identity, so he asked Gu Chengyu to help him.

Even if Gu Chengyu knew who he was, he wouldn't necessarily be in this muddy water.

He opened the door and planned to leave, but Ming Mo had already guarded the door with a sword.

"Ming Mo, let him go."

As soon as Ming Mo saw the masked man, he took another look at his son and found that Gu Chengyu was not injured, so he took a few steps back.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes outside, heading towards Zhuangzi's gate.

Gu Chengyu frowned, trying to urge him to leave quickly.

But the man in black stopped in his tracks, turned around, and pulled down the black veil on his face, "Please help me, Young Master Gu!"
