Wei Shu

Chapter 177
"She...she shouldn't be able to hear this place...cough cough...there is movement..."

After a few breaths, the sound of shouting and fighting in the bilge could be faintly heard, and a female voice suddenly came from Gude's side, as thin as a gnat, but clear to the ears.

He turned his head back and looked at the person coming.

At some point, a gray and simple figure appeared in the cabin, but it was a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a Taoist robe and her hair in a bun. Wearing double swords.

The strange thing is that the two swords are juxtaposed on one side of the waist, instead of one on the left as in ordinary two-handed swordsmen, and there is no scabbard on the sword. The bare iron sword is black and dim, and it does not look like a sharp weapon.

The woman seemed to be injured, coughing lowly from time to time, her face was rather haggard, her forehead and the corners of her eyes were covered with wrinkles, only when she looked closely, could she vaguely see the beauty between her brows and eyes. beauty.

Gu De seemed to be quite respectful to her, and as soon as she appeared, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Women..."

"Sanqi...cough cough..." The woman interrupted him, and coughed twice as she spoke, "Call me... Sanqi."

Panting and saying this, the woman who called herself Sanqi pinched the sword formula again, held it up in front of her chest, performed a strange but solemn swordsman's ceremony, and said in her mouth:
"Thank you...thank you, Major General, for your kindness...for saving your life..."

Gu De turned sideways quickly, and only accepted her half-respect, his eyes were fixed on her face for a moment, and there was a faint gleam in his eyes:

"So, Sanqi, what you told me before... that deal, did it really count?"

Sanqi coughed slightly, raised her head and stared at him.

Although her appearance is haggard, the woman's eyes are as calm as the deep sea, and the essence in her eyes conveys a kind of determination and sternness, just like the sword by her side, simple and straight, seems to have the air of a master:

"With one thought in mind, if you don't understand it, you will... be delusional. My Qingshan Sword Sect, never... never speaks in vain."

After finishing speaking, Sanqi lowered his head and coughed again, shaking his body a few times.

Seeing this, Ali on the side rushed forward a few steps and graciously supported her arm, serving her very well.

After the woman stood firm, she took out a celadon bottle from her sleeve, uncorked the bottle, raised her head and drank the Chinese medicine soup in one gulp.

A biting cold air diffused from her mouth and nose, and Ali couldn't help shivering.

Gu De was ecstatic in his heart at this time, but his face remained calm, and when the woman finished drinking the medicinal soup, he said solemnly:
"Okay. Then I will have Lao Sanqi by your side to protect me. After the three-year period expires, you can go on your own."

Sanqi coughed lowly and said "No", then walked to the side and sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and adjusted her breath.

Gu De's eyes turned around on her, and then looked aside again.

Sanqi is the glimmer of life he got tonight.

This woman and another female swordsman from the villa pretended to be female slaves, lurking in the banquet hall of the building, and accompanied by the black witch with blue eyes to assassinate His Royal Highness. What Gu De and Wei Shu said before was indeed not a lie.

However, these two female swordsmen did not fight to the end, but turned around and ran for their lives when the situation was not good, but only Sanqi survived in the end.

Goode saved her.

At that time, Gu De was pretending to be a woman, hiding in the bilge and not daring to come out, but he didn't want Sanqi to escape here.She was seriously injured at that time, and she also knew about Goode pretending to be a personal guard, so she didn't kill him, but made a deal with him.

As Goode said before, the people in Hidden Sword Villa really like to make deals with others, and the content of Sanqi's deal with him is:
Goode concealed the fact that she had escaped from the villa, and provided her with a place to stay so that she could heal her injuries;
And Sanqi will secretly guard Gude and keep his life safe for three years.

Goode agreed on the spot.

What happened tonight made him extremely wary of Hidden Sword Villa.Because in the transaction with Wang Kuang, the other party did not leave him a way to survive.

And according to Sanqi, they were a group of eight people, and they were supposed to advance and retreat together, but it wasn't until the moment they started, that she realized that except for the two of them, the other six hadn't boarded the boat at all. It is to regard the two of them as abandoned children.This is also the reason why Sanqi made up his mind to betray the villa.

As for Gude, the reason why he survived was because he had prepared in advance.

He asked Ali to get a dozen sets of priestess' colorful skirts and chignons, and hid a few sets in each cabin.

This is a stupid way, even a bit stupid, but sometimes, the more stupid the way, the more it can deceive everyone.

It's just a dozen or so sets of clothes, it's really too inconspicuous, even if Wang Kuang and others knew about it, they would only find it ridiculous.

As early as when the fire broke out in Youguanfang, Goode changed into women's clothes in advance, put on a hood, and sneaked into the bilge from behind the screen.

On this matter, he did not tell Wei Shu the truth.

Relying on this outfit, Goode escaped the slaughter of Longjiawei, and rescued Sanqi, and then quietly took her back to the cabin on the second floor.

After all, how many battles have been fought and how many military books have been read, the major general used the method of falsehood to escape for his life, and it turned out to be effective.Although the whole process was extremely embarrassing, and his leg was injured when he jumped off the gangway, the result was very good.

Afterwards, Sanqi stated to Gu De that she was a true disciple of the Qingshan Sword Sect that had long been lost in the Jianghu. She guarded him well under her nose.

Goode was a little unbelieving at first, but now he believes it.

Akis never discovered the existence of Sanqi, otherwise she would have used it as a threat to make other demands.

While thinking in his heart, Goode drew out his long knife and counted silently in his heart.

"After forty breaths, listen to my orders."

This is Akis' exhortation before leaving.

Afterwards, she stomped heavily on the ship plank, actually stepping on the ship plank to create a big hole, she plunged into the hole, followed by a series of "bang bang bang bang", it is not known whether she broke through Several layers of ship boards.

But right now, she is obviously fighting with the Prince Longjiawei. Although Gu De has no hearing ability of a warrior, he can still hear the movement coming from below, especially the loud and clear female voice, which sometimes has to be spoken in Central Plains dialect Shouting nonsense such as "Golden Dog", "Dog Thief", "Killing the Prince" and so on, it is really a thunderous tongue, and the sound shakes the world. Even a deaf person here will be deafened by the sound.

"She was badly hurt."

The voice of Sanqi suddenly came, and Gu De was taken aback. Looking back, he saw a gray shadow standing two steps behind him, but he didn't hear the footsteps at all.

Sanqi nodded to him, and took another half step forward, the two got closer and could hear their breathing.

However, Goode only heard his own breathing. If Sanqi hadn't been standing in front of him, he would have thought that there was no one in front of him.
