Zhaojia Village is more than 40 miles away from Yangzhou City, so as to get back before the curfew.

After the two of them finished their noodles, they booked the room at the inn and invited their friends to go to the horse market. After helping to buy two horses, they hurriedly left the city and headed to Zhaojia Village.

During this period, Li Luotang did not say a word to Gu Ting-hyun.

She was waiting for his explanation, but although Gu Tingqing looked at her from time to time, he didn't say anything.

Li Luotang, who was already angry, became even more angry, and his little face was tense.

After reflection, Gu Tingxian knew that he would not let Li Luotang go to the capital, which made Li Luotang angry.

But Gu Tingxian would not let go of this matter, and he was unwilling to tell Li Luotang about the risks on the road.

He knew that if he said that, Li Luotang would be more determined to accompany him back to Beijing.

Gu Tingqing didn't know what to say to make Li Luotang calm down, so he could only follow her silently to travel.

The two of them looked like arrows leaving the strings, and they left the city and moved forward quickly.

After half an hour, there was a village in the flat fields from afar

The houses are low and all of them are thatched houses, and the village is very barren.

There is a big locust tree at the entrance of the village, and there is a millstone under the tree. Several old farmers in ragged clothes sit by the millstone and gossip about home.

The two walked over and the old farmer gave them a surprised look.

But no one came to meet him. Even when the two of them looked over, the old farmers either lowered their heads or looked sideways, avoiding their sight.

Gu Tingxu glanced at Li Luotang, and saw her pouting, he was still unhappy, knowing that she was not going to speak.

He stepped forward and bowed, "Hello, my father-in-law."

The old farmers looked at him with a helpless look on their faces.

Gu Tingqiu then asked, "How should Zhao Aniu's house go?"

The old farmers were silent for a while before one of them asked, "Who are you? What's the matter with Zhao Aniu?"

"His family asked us to bring him a message." Gu Tingxin replied.

The old farmer knocked on the cigarette rod and stood up and said, "I'll take you to his house."

"Thank you, my father-in-law." Gu Ting said politely.

The houses in the village are built in a messy way and twisted. If no one leads the way, it will be really not easy for the two of them to find Zhao Aniu's family.

Standing outside the short earth fence, the old farmer shouted inside: "Aniu, Zhao Aniu, your guest is here."

The door opened and a gray-haired old man walked out, "Guest? Who?"

"It's these two young men." The old farmer replied.

Zhao Aniu walked over and opened the yard gate. He looked at Gu Tingqing and Li Luotang with confusion on his face, but he still politely invited them in.

After finishing the matter briefly, Gu Tingxin expressed his purpose and wanted to find the two foreigners living in the village.

Zhao Aniu thought for a while and said that he could lead the way.

He saved his old woman's life and was his benefactor.

You should not be ungrateful in life. Although the two foreigners do not look like bad people, these two young men look more like good people.

Under the leadership of Zhao Aniu, they arrived at the innermost part of the village, near the back mountain.

There is a small yard, two and a half mud thatched houses there.

"Uncle Zhao, let's get to this, thank you." Gu Tingxu said.

Zhao Aniu waved his hand, "Nothing, nothing."

Gu Tingqing and Li Luotang went to the courtyard and knocked on the wooden door, but no one answered.

The two of them came over the wall at the same time.

One of them rushed to the left and the other one to the right, and almost at the same time slammed the door open.

The room is very small, with a bed, a table and a chair.

"No one." Li Luotang said.

"There is no one in this room," Gu Ting said in a flash.

Did they escape after hearing the news?

It's not supposed to be, the two of them did not come slowly.

Another possibility is that they have not come back yet.

Gu Tingqing and Li Luotang pulled the door up, climbed over the wall and went outside the yard, jumped to the tree next to them, and hid in the shade of the green.

The space on the tree is only so big. Although the two of them stand on two different branches, they are very close.

Li Luotang looked at Gu Tingxian. This smelly man had a very beautiful side face, a high nose bridge and a particularly dark and thick eyelashes.

It was because of this beautiful skin that she fell in love with him.

The more Li Luotang thought about it, the more angry he became, and reached out to pinch his arm.

Although Gu Tingqing focused on staring at the courtyard, he was not wary of Li Luotang's sudden action.

But when Li Luotang's fingertips touched his arm, he raised his left palm and slapped it.

Li Luotang didn't expect him to make a move, but his reaction was quite fast and he also pushed it out with one palm.

However, Gu Tingqiu came to his senses and shrank his hand.

Li Luotang didn't, but just slapped Gu Tingqing's shoulder with a palm.

Without using all your strength, he only had three points of strength. He could not hurt Gu Ting, which made him feel a little pain.

"You... aren't angry anymore?" Gu Tingxian asked in a low voice.

Li Luotang rolled his eyes, and she didn't feel relieved so easily.

"Then you have a few more slaps." Gu Ting said sincerely.

He was stuffy and could not vomit or swallow it. Li Luotang turned his head angrily.

Seeing that Li Luotang was even more angry, Gu Ting's eyes were slightly darker, "Sugar..."

"Someone is here." Li Luotang said.

Gu Tingqi turned his head and looked, and two people walked from the small path on the mountain.

The two dressed in brown clothes that were no different from the villagers, carrying bamboo baskets.

The basket should be the wild vegetables and wild fruits they picked on the mountain.

"Wang Shaoxing." Gu Ting called out.

He did not know the son of the magistrate, nor did he have a portrait of Wang Shaoxing, so he could only use this method to confirm whether this person was Wang Shaoxing.

The younger man suddenly looked up when he heard the name, and then he turned around and ran into the mountains.

His actions have already shown his identity.

"Mr. Wang, don't panic, I am the guard of Tianwu Mansion." Gu Tingqing revealed his identity while leaping out of the tree.

It is impossible for a person who is so close to you to escape from Gu Tingqing and Li Luotang.

As soon as the two of them took action, Wang Shaoxing and his servant were caught by them.

"You are really the guards of Tianwu Mansion?" Wang Shaoxing asked in horror.

Gu Tingxian took out the token. After Wang Shaoxing looked at it, he could only believe that Gu Tingxian was here to help him, not to kill him.

"I can hand over the secret letter and account book to you, so I won't go to the capital." Wang Shaoxing was afraid of death.

Gu Tingxian looked at him, "I can find you, and those people can find you too."

Wang Shaoxing hid in this small village not far from Jinling, and he was thinking that it was dark under the light, but it was obvious that dark under the light was useless.

"Then you must protect me." Wang Shaoxing said.

"I will protect you." Gu Tingxian said in a deep voice.

Li Luotang's eyes flashed slightly, as if he thought of Gu Ting's intention to not let her go to the capital with him.

Wang Shaoxing got out the secret letters and account books that were hidden tightly from the house. Gu Tingqing did not look through them and put them away directly.

"Tangtang, take them back to the city." Gu Tingqiu mentioned the slightly heavier servant.

Li Luotang mentioned Wang Shaoxing and used his light skills to go to the city.

Wang Shaoxing was dragged and screamed, wanting to hug Li Luotang.

Gu Tingxiao frowned and was about to say something, when he saw Li Luotang taking the lead. His fingers were flying, sealing Wang Shaoxing's acupoints, including his mute acupoints.

Wang Shaoxing's eyes were filled with anger when he looked at Li Luotang. This little guard was so rude!

Li Luotang ignored it and calmly grabbed his clothes and moved forward without any dust.

At the end of the night, the lights were on, and they rushed into the city before the city gate was closed.
