Chapter 64: Getting close to my cousin
A tent was quickly laid out.
After checking the camp, four men in black robes scattered and quickly disappeared in four directions.
One of the men in black robe stopped four hundred steps from the west side of the camp and climbed easily to the top of a big tree like a monkey.
He tied ropes to several branches, laid a black blanket, made a simple hammock, and half lying on it, and then placed crossbows and arrows on his side.
Tonight he will be responsible for guarding the west side of the camp.
When he was doing all this, he felt a little different from the past, as if something was looking at him.
But after careful observation several times, there was no abnormality.
It was not until dawn that the man guarding the west side of the camp was completely relieved. He realized that it might be the repeated explanations of his master before coming, which made him feel a little stressed and he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
She slept peacefully all night. Hua Linyi, who woke up from the sound of birds singing in the morning, swept away her fatigue last night. After breakfast and exercised for a while, she returned to the camp to start practicing.
Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, she quickly restrained her mind, and the true energy that was dormant in her body was quickly awakened by her, and she quickly passed through her meridians like fish.
In her perception, all the orifices in her body also lit up like stars, and the starlight was connected together, and the true qi flowed faster and faster, as if they had broken through the boundaries of time and space, jumping between stars and stars.
Her skin was originally very white, and at this time she exuded a jade-colored luster that was visible to the naked eye. Under the influence of the erosion of true qi, her whole body seemed to be transforming towards completely different substances.
Suddenly, there were countless tiny bulging on her skin, as if there were many fine objects to drill out from under her skin, but in the constant ups and downs, she could not really reveal her head.
The true energy has penetrated the whole body, but it has not yet become mysterious.
Her cultivation level has reached the fifth level, but it seems that it will take a lot of time to get to the sixth level.
However, among her peers, her cultivation has already made great progress.
In Chang'an, except for those unique royal children and some family members second only to the royal family, few of their peers have the best practice speed above her.
"Linyi?"
Yan Changshou's voice suddenly sounded outside the tent.
"What?" Hua Linyi frowned slightly. She had already agreed with these people last night. Logically speaking, Yan Changshou would not disturb her practice.
"Didn't you say that Brother Canglang will have to be here as soon as possible?" Yan Changshou's voice came into her ears, with some hesitation, "But I just got the news that it should be them... the place where they camped last night was less than eighty miles away."
"So quickly, does he ignore the old lady's body?"
This was the idea that appeared in Hua Linyi's mind at the first time. Then she felt something was wrong. It would be fine if her brother became cautious in his actions, but why did it seem that he was hiding it from her?
"Is it because the old lady was surprised?"
As soon as he thought of this, Hua Linyi's expression changed drastically and rushed out of the camp with one step.
"Malay!"
She jumped onto a mount after several times, turned to Yan Changshou and shouted, "Where is the place where they camped? Take me here!"
"Riding a horse is riding, it's called a horse, making me look like a horse." Yan Changshou followed him helplessly, muttering in his heart.
"What are they doing in such a hurry?"
Hua Linyi and Yan Changshou rode their horses out of the temporary camp and immediately alarmed everyone.
"Oops!"
Jiang Ziyan was still putting on her makeup, but when she saw this scene, she reacted faster than anyone else. She quietly grabbed a horse and chased after her.
"My horse!" Qin Lan suddenly became depressed. Doesn't he care about whoever is riding?
"What's this little hoof doing in such a hurry? No, I have to go and see!" Rong Xiu also snatched a horse and rushed out.
"What's going on?"
In an instant, almost all the children of these aristocratic families in the camp chased out, and the remaining group of followers were stunned.
"You clean up the camp, and the rest of the people follow me first." A man in black robe made a decision quickly.
"Enemy attack!"
The sound of arrows used for warning sounded in the camp where Gu Liubai was.
"What bandits are so bold?"
Dozens of crossbow-carrying soldiers occupied the high place, and looked at the smoke and dust rushing over the road, and felt heavy in their hearts.
However, seeing clearly that the people in the lead were all furious, the soldiers immediately knew that the people in front of them had made a mistake.
Hua Linyi was quickly stopped.
"My brother is inside?"
"Don't you know who I am?"
Hua Linyi, who was stopped two hundred steps from the temporary camp, soon began to doubt whether she was Hua Cangming's biological sister.
The two Youzhou soldiers who were leading were Hua Cangming's confidants and bowed to her immediately, but they still asked her not to enter the camp first, and said that they had already been reported and Hua Cangming should have come out immediately.
But it was confirmed how Hua Linyi, who was inside, was willing to wait.
"The stomach hurts... it may hurt your intestines."
Her true energy surged, and the moment she covered her stomach, her face turned pale, and beads of sweat as big as soybeans rolled down from her forehead.
"Hurry up and help the lady in!"
The two Youzhou soldiers were shocked and immediately asked someone to support Hua Linyi to the camp. However, just as soon as they saw Hua Cangming walk out of the camp, Hua Linyi had returned to normal and signaled the big-headed soldier who was holding him to get out quickly.
"You... are still like that..." Hua Cangming frowned when he looked at his own sister. He didn't know what words to describe it for a while. Anyway, Hua Linyi has been cunning, pretending to be pitiful, and playing tricks since she was a child. He couldn't play with her since she was a child.
Sometimes it was him, the girl who did something bad, but he was the one who got beaten up later.
"Where is the old lady? Is there something wrong?" Hua Linyi stared at Hua Cangming hatefully, with an expression that she was about to chop him up.
Hua Cangming frowned and said, "No."
"What the hell are you doing? Take me to see her!" Hua Linyi became angry.
"Let your friends not enter the camp." Hua Cangming knew that it would be even bigger if he didn't let her see Mrs. Zou, so he pulled her into the camp. "Since you have arrived here, you should know that Mrs. Zou doesn't want to be known, and you are still doing this!"
"Speak well, why are you doing so fiercely to me? Don't I know that I didn't mention a word to them." Hua Linyi was very annoyed, "Can I not be your own sister if I go to Chang'an?"
Hua Cangming glanced at her and explained helplessly: "There was something else that Zou Jianan was attacked. The fourth house of the Zou family and Manager Wu came to pick him up this time, but he was actually thinking of silence. Fortunately, the old lady got a reminder and came to calm down in person."
"What?" Hua Linyi was stunned.
Hua Cangming said in a deep voice: "The old lady asked them to live to find out the truth of that year, so everything was done secretly. She had already ordered Manager Wu and the others to send back the news and inform the Zou family that the seventh house had been handled properly."
Hua Linyi frowned deeply, "Is the seventh house of the Zou family behind her?"
Hua Cangming shook his head and said softly: "The seventh house of the Zou family must be involved, but it is unknown who the mastermind behind it is."
Hua Linyi nodded.
She knew that Zou Jianan was the knot of Mrs. Zou, but she always felt that something was wrong. Her brother seemed to be overly mature this time.
"Linyi, come here."
As soon as she turned a carriage, she heard a familiar voice. She saw Mrs. Zou sitting on a bamboo chair, eating slowly while talking to the two boys.
Both boys were wearing the same clothes, but one of them looked like a thin monkey and had few taels of flesh on his body. At this time, she was very close to Mrs. Zou, and she was stunned and thought to herself, thinking that this was Zou Jianan?
Mrs. Zou saw what she was thinking at a glance, waved to her again, and then smiled at Zhou Lu'er, who had just finished eating a cake in front of her and said, "This is Linyi that I told you."
Zhou Lu'er immediately showed her true nature, patted the crumbs on her clothes and stood up enthusiastically, and said to Hua Linyi with a smile: "It turns out that she is my cousin, she looks very beautiful, so we will get closer in the future."
"Are you Jianan?" Hua Linyi frowned. She felt strange. In her imagination, Zou Jianan either suffered all the hardships, miserable and pitiful, or she was persevering and became as rough as the barbarians on the wasteland. But the smiling thin monkey in front of her gave her the first feeling that she was just looking for something from a troupe.
"The old lady has confirmed it." Hua Cangming was afraid that she would say something excessive, so he immediately whispered in her ear.
"Old lady, you're so anxious." Hua Linyi nodded to Zhou Lu'er, then arched into Mrs. Zou's arms and acted coquettishly, and secretly looked at the other boy, "Who is the other one?"
"That's Gu Ningxi, Mr. Gu." Mrs. Zou smiled kindly and said, "It was him who sent Jianan to me well."
"he?"
Hua Linyi looked at Gu Liubai, looking surprised, but she was suspicious in her heart.
This young man also looks quite weak. It would be great if he was not bullied to death outside the pass. He could still join the link with Mrs. Zou and send Zou Jianan to her very much?
Hua Cangming wanted to remind her that this person was not as simple as she thought, but thinking about Gu Liubai's previous explanation, he gritted his teeth in secret and held back.
"You are in a hurry to see me, why did you make such a big noise?" Mrs. Zou asked, looking at Hua Linyi indulgently.
"I happened to meet Rong Xiu and Yan Changshou and others." Hua Linyi smiled and said, "Their formation is quite scary and has nothing to do with me."
"Oh?" Mrs. Zou was intrigued, "What are these young people going to do when they gather here?"
Hua Linyi said: "They are going to hunt deer in the mountains, and they are pestering me and asking me to go together."
"It's good to relax." Mrs. Zou said with a smile, "Why do you take Jianan with you and let him get close to you?"
"Is it okay to take Jianan with you?" Hua Linyi was stunned.
How could this old lady just got this treasure and great-grandson?
"You young people have the way of playing with young people. I feel relieved when I see him. I am reluctant to let him go. Just take good care of him." Mrs. Zou said this, but she blamed herself again, "I look so confused. I haven't asked Jianan if he wants to go."
Zhou Lu'er looked at Gu Liubai with a smile, "Brother Fifteen, is it fun to hunt deer? Do you want to go?"
Mrs. Zou looked at Gu Liubai kindly, "Does Mr. Gu want to go?"
Gu Liubai was about to say he couldn't go, but Yin Shiniang came over from behind a carriage and said, "You can go."
“??”
Gu Liubai was a little confused.
