Competing

Chapter 306 Chapter Thirty-six
Seeing Luluo's solemn expression, Yin Xu thought to himself: Could something have happened?
The old gentleman behind him also saw the abnormality of the woman and asked, "Luluo, what's wrong? What happened?"

Luluo turned around and frowned and said, "A group of people appeared at Taniguchi, all armed, and they seemed to be looking for someone? Aunt Cha reminded us to be careful!"

The old man frowned. Some time ago, some new faces appeared in the clear valley of Kuaiji Mountain, and some people asked the mountain people for news about him.Are they here for themselves?If the king of Yue wants to find himself... Isn't "Xu Dong" in front of him the king's guard?Could it be that those people were with him?

Luluo's thinking was a little different from that of the old man. Her slightly worried and puzzled eyes fell on Yin Xu, and she fell off the cliff in the middle and was hunted down by her enemies?Maybe these people are his enemies!No matter who it is, if they enter the Qingxi Valley or come to this hillside with evil intentions, nothing good will come of it.

Yin Xu was also a little confused, not sure, Gao Yi, Su An and the others would frantically look for him after he had been missing for two days.Now that there are people and horses at the mouth of Qingxi Valley, it is very likely that the Vietnamese army came to search and rescue him.

However, it is also possible that the Zhou and Xu families rebelled. With Pingwu around, the Zhou family would definitely know their identity.To openly assassinate the King of Yue, even though they had a heart of disobedience and made many small moves, it was not yet time to completely tear their skins and do it openly.Especially the Xu family is still a little vacillating, but now they have been involved in this matter whether intentionally or unintentionally.

For them, blatantly shooting arrows at themselves is trying to kill someone. If they are not dead, they will definitely chase after them.For them, there is no retreat now, they can only go one way to the dark.Because they are very clear that as long as they return to Shanyin alive, the Zhou family and Xu family will be lost forever.

Maybe Yin Xu still had a bit of kindness before, but now, because of the arrow falling off the cliff this time, he almost experienced a cycle of life and death.Yin Xu deeply understands that he must be ruthless, which may be necessary for the achievement of the emperor's hegemony.To the Zhou family and the Xu family, he would never show any kindness. When the emperor got angry, the thunder and storm, when he returned to Shanyin, the whole family of Zhou and Xu would perish.

Just how to deal with the current situation?It is really troublesome to be unable to determine whether it is an enemy or a friend.Yin Xu is inevitably a little worried about this. Although he has been trying his best to keep his emotions hidden, Luluo still grasps the slight mood swings. Perhaps this is the extraordinary perception of women!

Luluo immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one can enter this courtyard."

Yin Xu frowned, feeling an urge to wait and see. He really wanted to see what extraordinary means this talented green girl had.There are really not many women who can be so confident and courageous.In an instant, Luluo's score in her heart suddenly increased by a few percentage points...

……

In Kuaiji Mountain, a group of people entered a valley, all looking exhausted.

Seeing this, a leading young man frowned slightly, sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay, everyone stop, and rest where they are for a quarter of an hour!"

As soon as these words came out, hundreds of people were all excited, no matter how many, they just found a place to sit or lie down, enjoying the rare rest and comfort.

"Xu Xuan, I'm afraid it won't work if we go on like this!" The young man who walked by was Zhou Hao, the eldest son of Zhou.

The person sitting and resting on the boulder by the stream is of course Xu Xuan, the second son of the Xu family. Now almost all members of the Zhou and Xu families in Shanyin are under house arrest, and they are the only ones living outside.More importantly, the life and death of the two families are now almost all on the two of them.As long as they successfully find Yue Wang Yin Xu and confirm his death, there is still a chance.If it's too late, I'm afraid the body will be collected for the whole family.

After rushing to the river that day, Yin Xu had disappeared, and after inquiring, he learned that he was not rescued by the Vietnamese army.In other words, Yin Xu might have been rescued by the mountain people of Kuaiji Mountain. Zhou Hao and Xu Xuan couldn't cry for such a result, but this is undoubtedly an opportunity. As long as Yin Xu can be found first, everything can still be done Easy to solve.

But in fact, it didn't seem to be so smooth. The army of Yue State quickly entered the mountain, euphemistically calling it to suppress bandits.While admiring the courage of Gao Yi and Pu Jun who are sitting in Shanyin, they also clearly realize that their situation is very bad.In order to preserve their strength and avoid the army of Yue, they could only sneak into the mountains and avoid those relatively flat and easy mountain roads.I can shuttle between the mountains, forests and streams, it is really miserable.

Hearing Zhou Hao say yes, Xu Xuan said lightly: "Yes, if you still can't find Yin Xu, our family has hundreds of people, I'm afraid..." Xu Xuan, who had always been strong and calm, had nothing to gain after a few days. , I have to become a little scared, a little worried...

Zhou Hao sighed, and said: "It's been a couple of days, and more and more Vietnamese troops have entered the mountain. It seems that Gao Yi and Pu Jun have spent a lot of money, and they must find Yin Xu. If we If you can’t succeed, it’s not a good idea to be surrounded by them!”

"Two days, I don't know if I can find it?" Xu Xuan didn't know what to do, and at the same time, he also regretted it. If he hadn't indulged his sister's nonsense, how could he have come to such a point?It's too late now, so I can only do everything possible to find someone. If I can't find it... If I really can't find it, Xu Xuan doesn't know what to do?Surprised by the cruel reality, the wise and unrestrained Second Young Master Xu was tortured to the point of disrespect.

Zhou Hao gritted his teeth fiercely, and said: "Xu Xuan, we must not give up before the last moment. Besides, the messenger I sent has almost arrived in Dongou. Si Yao will definitely send troops immediately after learning the news. You and I The family still has a lot of power in San'in, and these things can definitely be solved."

It can be regarded as self-consolation, Zhou Hao himself felt that what he said was very unfounded, and this was the only way to do it at this time.Let it be fate, Zhou Hao is no longer as arrogant as he was in the valley that day, and Ping Wu's departure caused him a lot of losses.He still doesn't know the identities of those who actually shot Yin Xu and participated in the assassination but did not pursue him.Those people have left now, but Zhou Hao has a feeling of being used by them... It is confirmed that everyone will take advantage of Yin Xu's pursuit, but in the end all risks and harms must be borne by himself...

Now the young masters of the two families are inevitably a little frustrated, but the heavy responsibility of the family makes them dare not and cannot slack off, so they can only persevere and persevere.

Zhou Hao said softly: "We are going to enter Qingxi Valley now, which is the upper reaches of the river where Yin Xu fell, maybe we will find someone here..."

Xu Xuan forced a wry smile from the corner of his mouth, no one knows if it's possible, this has been said many times.He and Zhou Hao encouraged each other and continued to work hard. As for whether they will succeed or not, it depends on luck.

After a period of rest, Zhou and Xu's families recovered some of their physical fitness, and embarked on a difficult search again. They must find Yue Wang Yinxu as soon as possible.

After entering the Qingxi Valley, Zhou Hao put his mind to it. This area is the most likely to find Yin Xu.Most of the thinking is that after falling into the river, they will drift downstream along the river, and all of them will wait or search in the downstream area.

It's fine if you usually take these things for granted, but now I'm afraid there are some problems.I searched all over the downstream and found no one. Judging from the situation at that time, Yin Xu should have been rescued by someone.So this kind-hearted person who saved lives must have gone downstream?Based on this consideration, Zhou Hao thought about coming to the north to try his luck. Of course, there was a big reason, there were too many Vietnamese troops there, and the risk of exposing himself after going there was too great.

Maybe it was God's mercy, or it could be that a blind cat met a dead mouse, and Zhou Hao was blinded by it.After entering Qingxi Valley, Zhou Hao searched around, asking the local people is also a very important link.

It is still very easy to give the mountain people the gold and silver utensils they carry with them in exchange for some messages they want.

"Uncle, do you know who has taken in the injured young man in the past few days?"

"do not know……"

"Brother, have you ever seen the injured young man?"

"no"

"Little brother, have you ever seen an injury and bleeding..."

As soon as he started to describe, the child was so frightened that he threw away Zhou Hao and kept opening his mouth to ask enthusiastically, but all he got were such answers.Zhou Hao was disappointed and depressed at the same time, full of anger and distress, and didn't know where to go to express it.

At this time, he happened to see a middle-aged woman walking towards him. Zhou Hao was downcast at first, and didn't want to greet her at all.But since we have already encountered it, it's okay to ask a question, maybe there will be something to gain.With this indifferent attitude, Zhou Hao spoke patiently.

"Sister, did you hear that someone took in the injured young man?"

The golden ornaments dangled in front of her eyes, and the woman was full of envy. She hesitated for a moment and nodded and said: "I heard that, go along here to the yard on the hillside over there. I heard that Miss Luluo will be a young man covered in blood. !"

Survival?Zhou Hao was suddenly agitated. It was really a pleasant surprise, and he didn't care too much. After throwing down the gold ornaments, he rushed up with people.Maybe I was so excited that I forgot to kill and silence...

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment to pick up the gold jewelry, then hurried up the mountain road and came to a small courtyard in the mountain village.

"Aunt Cha, I just saw a group of people carrying swords, and they seem to be going to Miss Luluo's yard on the hillside over there... They are all so vicious and scary!" The matter of gold jewelry is naturally ignored...

She is also a middle-aged woman, but her dress is much more refined. After asking about the situation, she hurried back to the house to write a line, and then the pigeons flew out of the courtyard...

Seeing the direction in which the carrier pigeon left, Cha Gu snorted coldly: "Hmph, if you dare to trouble Miss Luluo, just wait until you have a taste of the magic trick!"
