Just three days after Wu Yue and Mo Fei left the Central Capital, a man rushed to the Central Capital and went directly to the Prefect's Mansion to find Yuya who was staying here.

"What? King Rong Zhen and Fu Tu have returned to the Kingdom of Shuang?" Gu He was stunned. At this time, his hair was disheveled, his body was covered with gray dirt, and his eyebrows were even more tired. It was obvious that he had traveled all night.

"If only you had come back three days earlier." Yu Ya slightly regretted, "Fu Tu has been worried about your safety. If he knew that you were safe, he would be very happy. Where have you been all these days? "

Gu He was stunned for a while, and sighed: "It's hard to say anything, I'll talk about it later! I also asked General Yuya to prepare some dry food and water for me. I wanted to chase Lord Futu immediately, but I only left for three days. If you go fast, you should be able to catch up.”

Yu Ya glanced at him and persuaded: "You better take a day off! Futu is returning to China this time, and it is estimated that he will stay until next year, so you don't have to worry about not finding him."

"No." Gu He shook his head and said, "As the guardian of the adults, but often not by the side of the adults, it is too dereliction of duty. In any case, I have to return to the adults as soon as possible."

Seeing his resolute expression, Yuya didn't say more, but ordered people to prepare supplies for him immediately. When walking to the stable, Yuya saw that the groom was adding fodder to a horse. The horse was light gray, and only the blue spot under the left eye was very conspicuous.

Yu Ya was stunned for a moment, and asked the Lonely Crane beside him, "Is that Futu's mount Xiayu?" He remembered that after the camp was attacked, Futu's mount disappeared, apparently taken away by the enemy. , but do not want to appear here again now.

Guhe nodded and said, "Exactly. Part of the reason why I haven't returned for a long time is this."

It turned out that after Guhe stayed that day to deal with the chasing soldiers, he, who had been shot with an arrow, added several wounds. This time, there was no medicine on his body, so he had to temporarily hide in the forest to heal his wounds. He used wild fruit stream fish to satisfy his hunger, and rested on a tree when he was sleepy. He lived a life like a savage.

When the wound was almost healed, he prepared to speed up his pace to find Futu. Who knew that as soon as he came out of the forest, he found a group of You Nation cavalry passing by with hundreds of war horses, one of which was Futu's mount Xiayu.

Gu He knew that Fu Tu had always liked his mount. Now that he has encountered it, why not steal it back?

With a certain idea, he secretly followed the team.

Being cautious along the way, finally found an opportunity to steal the horse, so wanted to rush to the Central Capital as soon as possible. At this time, he had heard that Zhongdu was successfully captured, and Wu Yue and others began to use troops against Jiuwang and other places.

Who would have guessed that while on the way, he encountered a large water blockage again. The original river water level rose at an extremely fast rate, overflowing the embankment, submerging a large area of ​​land, and Guhe was trapped in a small village. When he knew This water comes from Jiuwang, and the anxiety in my heart is needless to say. At that time, he regretted it very much in his heart. If he ignored Xiayu, it would have been great to return to Futu as soon as possible!

With this feeling in mind, Gu He did not wait for the flood to recede, and decided to go around on horseback, crossed the mountains, and finally rushed back to Zhongdu, but did not want to leave again.

He can't wait for a moment now, he just wants to return to Futu as soon as possible.

"Xiayu, I have to work hard for you again." Guhe patted Xiayu's neck and whispered in his ear, "Your master is not far away from us, we will catch up sooner. to see him."

Xiayu shook her head and hummed a few times, as if she didn't care at all.

"Good guy." Gu He laughed a few times and got on his horse.

"Take care all the way." Yu Ya clasped his fist at him.

Gu He waved his hand and drove away with a thud.

A day later, Lone Crane on the way passed by a knight, who was the one Wu Yue sent to Zhongdu to report the news. At this time, Fu Tu was captured, and Wu Yue resolutely changed his schedule.

Gu He reined in the reins and looked back at the knight who had gone away.

"Isn't that Wu Yue's personal soldier?" Gu He murmured to himself. Now Wu Yue's cavalry mounts are equipped with stirrups, but why did Wu Yue's people suddenly appear here? Could it be that something happened to them in the middle?

Gu He frowned, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.

After thinking about it, he decided to pay attention to the traces of Wu Yue and others camping on the way to see if he could find any clues. He didn't want to miss Futu again because of his carelessness.

After he made up his mind, he stopped rushing blindly, but followed the trail of Wu Yue and others, until he reached the river where Fu Tu disappeared...

At this time, where Murphy was imprisoned, many coolies were carrying supplies to the boat, mostly food and clean water for easy storage.

Murphy watched quietly, thinking about how to escape. Although Xi Su was not around, there were always people watching her, and she must not act rashly until she was not sure.

When was thinking, there was a sudden commotion in ears. looked closely and saw that the group of coolies were noisy for some reason. After careful identification, realized that it was someone who accidentally tripped over the person next to them while moving the goods. Not only did people fall, but they were also smashed by the goods.

It seems that these two people are from different places. At first, they just quarreled a few words, and then they attracted the support of their companions. It didn't take long for the scene to become more and more chaotic, and some people even began to gear up and prepare for a fight.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Xi Su's subordinates immediately went to mediate. For a while, most people's attention was attracted by the commotion over there.

good chance! Murphy's eyes lit up, suppressing the nervousness in his heart. She looked around calmly, and found that the person who had been monitoring her had indeed begun to lose her mind.

She got up and walked in the direction of the latrine. She knew that the person watching would definitely follow, but usually she would just stop at the plywood at the other end of the latrine and wait. And the past few compartments of the latrine are the storage rooms. At this time, several coolies were unloading the goods. One coolie entered the latrine after unloading the goods. Murphy seized the opportunity to enter immediately. Before the coolie could be surprised, he was taken by Murphy hit the back of the head with the back of the knife, instantly softening to the ground.

Murphy immediately took off the coolie's coat and put it on himself. The most important thing was that these coolies were covered with headscarves, which were a bit similar to the Arabs, which could just hide her eye-catching short hair.

This coolie is about the same height as Murphy, but she is stronger than her, and the clothes are a little loose on her body, but fortunately, it is a good fit after being tied by a belt.

After everything was sorted out, Murphy leaned against the door and listened carefully to the movement outside, just in time to hear the footsteps of several people passing by. She was overjoyed, opened the door and followed behind the coolies, wiping sweat with a headscarf and walking towards the boat under the cover of several people.

not found! Murphy saw from the corner of his eye that the person in charge of surveillance just glanced here and then stopped paying attention.

At this time, the group of coolies on the side of the ship were still making noise, but after the crew's mediation, the mood eased a lot.

Everyone didn't care about the coolies passing by, Murphy got off the boat smoothly under such circumstances. But she still didn't dare to be careless, she walked calmly towards the corner where the supplies were stacked, and found an object to block her figure. When another group of coolies passed by, she followed in time and left quietly.

After leaving the sight of the fleet, Murphy immediately quickened her pace, but instead of running away, she found a dilapidated house and bought a set of civilian clothes from the head of the house. Since Murphy's price was relatively high, the family didn't ask any extra questions. Even if Murphy told them not to talk nonsense, they agreed. As a poor person, this windfall can be said to be hard-won, and it is better to keep the busyness aside.

Murphy is very fortunate at this time, the clothes here are all with headscarves. The headscarves of civilians are much more delicate than those of coolies. They are woven by hand, and there is a woven rope hanging down from the forehead. Jade, gold and silver flakes or wooden beads are entwined with strings. The turbans of rich and noble families are made of noble silk, while commoners are ordinary coarse hemp, but if they are skilled, many patterns can be made on the rough hemp.

Of course, this was not the time to study ancient costumes, Murphy threw the coolie clothes that he had replaced into the stove of this family, and then hurriedly left after telling them a few more times.

At this time, the people on the ship had already discovered Murphy's disappearance, and they immediately sent people to hunt down the road, and the target was basically locked on the coolie.

Murphy was walking on a street full of people. Although she was temporarily safe, she did not dare to stay in an inn, nor did she dare to look for a business or a porter, because Xi Su could definitely guess that she wanted to leave this place, and the best way to leave was. Even if you go to these two places, if you walk, you may not be able to return to the country next year.

What's more, she's running out of money.

Murphy didn't notice that on the second floor of an inn she had just passed by, there were several men dressed as locals, who were Wu Yue and others.

"Master, there is a situation at the dock." At this time, a guard came back from the outside and whispered to Wu Yue, "Lord Futu seems to have escaped from the boat, and the people from Xisu are looking for it."

Wu Yue's eyes flashed and he was silent for a while before he said, "Continue to stare at Xi Su's people, and send the rest out to find the whereabouts of Fu Tu. Be sure to find him before Xi Su!"

"No." The guard led the way, and the people who were originally by Wu Yue's side also left, leaving only a thin middle-aged man.

When Xi Su returned to the boat and found that Fu Tu had disappeared without a trace, his heart was filled with anger, but there was still a smile on his face, but his eyes were like sharp swords, which made everyone present tremble with fear.

He didn't say anything, just said to the person in charge of the surveillance: "Go and receive the punishment yourself!"

The man knelt down on the ground, his body trembled, but he still followed the order and retreated, and the others did not dare to come out.

Xi Su ignored them, just took out a bamboo tube no more than a finger thick from his arms, opened the seal, and made a few strange whistles, and after a while, he saw a bamboo tube slowly crawling out. It was a tiny worm with a green body and a pair of translucent wings.

The little worm shook its wings and made a few crisp calls, as if echoing the whistle of Xi Su, then flew a few times in the air and landed back on Xi Su's shoulders.

Xi Su got up and said, "You all come with me."

Saying that, he strode out...
