If a person like Gao Gu is not loyal, he will be a disaster.

Chapter 139 An unexpected visit

At the hour of Yin, Yancheng was half asleep and half awake. Only a small number of the people and servants in the city had woken up and were sorting out their household chores and preparing for today's daytime work. The vast majority of Yancheng residents were still asleep, and the streets remained deserted and silent.

Ta-ta, tap-ta.

The sound of horse hooves and the sound of wheels hitting stones were amplified by the quiet Yancheng, making it even more harsh and disturbing, waking up the residents along the way. The carriage went from the palace all the way to the west of Yancheng, crossing the entire Yancheng, and the noise it carried forced Yancheng to wake up early.

Many people came out of their homes with dishevelled hair and red eyes, but they could only see a trail of smoke and dust, while the carriage that disturbed their sleep had long disappeared.

······

"Uncle, uncle."

After having a long chat with Hu Xiuwu last night and discussing the future plans, Gao Gu, who was lying on the bed to rest after midnight, was awakened by a scream.

Gao Gu struggled to open his dry eyes and sat up from the bed.

Bang!

The door of Gao Gu's room was pushed open by Gao Lu.

"uncle."

Gao Gu was still not awake. Gao Lu's shouting gave him a headache. He covered his forehead with his hand and said tiredly:

"What happened? You're yelling and screaming."

In the past, Gao Lu would not have disturbed Gao Gu when he was resting, but the matter was urgent and he could not make up his mind, so he had to come to Gao Gu. In order to let Gao Gu understand the importance of the matter, he only briefly said the key sentence:

"The King of Kucha has arrived and is at the gate!"

Gao Gu hadn't woken up yet and didn't react immediately. After Gao Lu's words passed through his mind, it was like a basin of cold water poured on his face, which woke him up instantly.

"What did you say? The King of Kucha is here!"

Gao Lu then quickly recounted the incident to Gao Gu:

"Yes, this morning, the brothers who were patrolling outside found a team of Kucha cavalrymen guarding a four-horse carriage parked at the door. A brother recognized the carriage as the carriage of the King of Kucha and knew that the matter was serious, so he hurried over to inform me."

"I can't make up my mind either, so I can only come to inform you, uncle."

The King of Kucha came to the Gao family at such a strange time. It was definitely not because of what Gao Gu had discussed with him before. He might have bad intentions.

Gao Lu was worried: "Uncle, do you think the King of Kucha will know about Xiuwu's affairs?"

Gao Gu frowned and said, "It's possible, but the fact that the King of Qiuci came to visit in a low-key manner early in the morning instead of sending a large army to surround them shows that things are not yet irreversible. Let's go and welcome the King of Qiuci into the palace first."

The Zaklama people are all ordinary people. Although Hu Xiuwu's formation has been more or less noticed by all the strange people in the city, Gao Gu and Gao Lu still know nothing about it.

Although there was a lack of information, Gao Gu thought about this matter and came up with an idea.

If the King of Kucha did not mobilize his army and adopted an attitude of encirclement and suppression, there would still be a chance for the situation to turn around. Then the Gao family should not be the first to show hostility and arouse the King of Kucha's wrath.

In the territory of Kucha, it is not a good idea to anger the King of Kucha.

Gao Gu thought of this and sighed silently, secretly sighing:

It still depends on the strength of the people. If the Gao family could have a few real extraordinary people, why would they have to survive in such a crack?

Gao Gu put on his boots and walked out of the house with disheveled hair. Seeing this, Gao Lu hurriedly followed him out.

Suddenly, Gao Gu thought of something, pulled Gao Lu to his side, whispered something to him, and handed him a few steel balls.

On the way back from Prince Gumo's mansion, Hu Xiuwu saw that Gao Yue was very eager to be treated as a steel bead by him. Hu Xiuwu found a few scattered beads for him from the ghost tomb. Gao Yue was overjoyed. Unfortunately, when Gao Gu found out about it later, he took them away.

After giving Gao Lu some instructions, Gao Gu said, "If the situation is urgent, you should follow the plan."

"Here."

Outside Gao's courtyard,

A team of Kucha cavalrymen surrounded the Gao family's main gate, standing with swords drawn on their faces; all the Gao family members came out, even Gao Ji was among the crowd, and Gao Yue led them to guard the main gate.

When Gao Gu arrived,

What was seen was a scene of silent confrontation between the two sides. The atmosphere between the two sides was so heavy and depressing that even the morning breeze could not blow. It was even quieter than Yancheng at night. Even the sound of wind and the chirping of insects could not be heard.

Seeing this scene, Gao Gu remained calm and walked towards the carriage that Zhe Luo was riding. When passing by Gao Yue, Gao Gu put his hand on his shoulder to let Gao Yue, whose tense muscles, relax and not show hostility towards the people of Kucha.

Then, Gao Gu calmly walked past the Kucha guards who had fierce eyes and tightly grasped their swords.

Gao Gu came to the front of the carriage and shouted, "Gao Gu greets the King of Kucha!"

The people in the carriage sat in the carriage without making a sound, but the curtains hanging down from the carriage moved without wind, but floated out of the carriage strangely, as if there was wind blowing from the inside to the outside of the carriage.

Gao Gu remained motionless, not anxious, and knew clearly that this was another attempt by Ze Luo to intimidate him.

There was no movement in the carriage, and the atmosphere became increasingly heavy. Beads of sweat appeared on Gao Ji's forehead, and Gao Lu subconsciously tightened his waist bag.

After an unknown amount of time, Ze Luo came out of the carriage laughing:

"Haha, after we parted during the day, I thought about it and decided that I should come and see you in person. I haven't visited your home for so many years."

Gao Gu smiled and said, "The King of Qiuci has come to visit me, and my humble abode is honored."

Ze Luo was somewhat relieved to see Gao Gu come out to greet him with his hair disheveled and shoes untied. He felt that Gao Gu was still very respectful to him. He hugged Gao Gu and laughed, saying, "The wise man said something I don't understand."

The two men walked arm in arm, ignoring the tense atmosphere around them.

The people from Kucha and the Gao family followed Zhe Luo and Gao Gu in a clear line, and the group returned to the Gao family compound in a mighty manner.

Gao Gu retreated half a body length away from Ze Luo and led Ze Luo all the way to the depths of Gao's mansion. Since Ze Luo didn't tell him the purpose of their visit, he was happy to play dumb and carefully introduced the buildings along the way to him.

Ze Luoze seemed to be really curious about the Gao family's situation. When Gao Gu was explaining it to him, he asked questions from time to time.

After Gao Gu casually passed by Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo's small courtyard, Ze Luo suddenly spoke:

"Why don't you introduce these two courtyards to me, sage?"

Sure enough, Ze Luo came for Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo, but why did he choose this time?

Gao Gu had some doubts in his mind, but he didn't show it: "Oh, they are just two rooms that are the same as the guest rooms I introduced to you before, there is no difference."

"Oh, I'm very interested in this place."

Ze Luo seemed to be talking to Gao Gu, but also seemed to be talking to himself. After he finished speaking, he ignored Gao Gu and went straight to the courtyard where Hu Xiuwu was.

Gao Guzhe followed behind Zhe Luo with heavy steps. Gao Yue and Gao Guzhe had a tacit understanding for many years, and as soon as he saw his posture, he knew that the situation below was probably not optimistic.

Gao Yue quietly reached into the bag around his waist.

But Gao Gu did not want a conflict to occur between the two sides today. He knew that if Hu Xiuwu was present, if a conflict really occurred, they would not necessarily be the ones to suffer.

But once they fight, Hu Xiuwu and Zhe Luo will inevitably become enemies, and conflicts will arise between the two sides, and the ones who will be happy are Jingjue.

Seeing Ze Luo's firm attitude, Gao Gu had no choice but to take a risky move.

Gao Gu gave Gao Lu a wink. After seeing this, Gao Lu followed Gao Gu's instructions and quietly disappeared into the crowd.

Zhe Luo walked in front with a majestic manner and rushed into the yard first. He saw two familiar young boys and girls standing opposite each other in the yard, talking and laughing.

Hu Xiuwu was originally chatting with Chen Duo. He and Chen Duo agreed to keep in touch after returning to the modern era. When he saw Ze Luo rushing in aggressively, he was not surprised, but still a little unhappy.

Standing with his sword in his hand, Hu Xiuwu's aura had already become more extraordinary than before after receiving the order from Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu. Even when facing the arrogant Zhe Luo, he still did not lose to him.

Hu Xiuwu looked at Ze Luo, who was like a lion:

"You are the one who just explored the courtyard. I never thought that a burly man like you could be so ethereal and melodious. You can't judge a person by his appearance."

Chapter 140 Five Tones

Hu Xiuwu was only doing routine Qi training and was not practicing any radical or dangerous magic. He could naturally stop at any time and there was no possibility of going astray.

As long as the twenty-four gods can be subdued, it will be quite difficult to make mistakes while practicing the Huangting Sutra. After all, twenty-four people focusing on one thing is naturally different from one person doing it alone. The former will definitely act more carefully and thoughtfully than the latter.

Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.

Hu Xiuwu was just immersed in the continuous growth of his body and the satisfaction and pleasure of his progress every moment, but Pikachu and Ear God gave warnings one after another and forcibly woke up Hu Xiuwu who was obsessed with cultivation.

Hu Xiuwu received Pi Shen's report and understood the whole story.

According to Pi Shen's report, in the Gao family courtyard, there were invisible sound waves, like ripples and light mist, echoing in the Gao family courtyard, mapping out every tree and blade of grass in the Gao family and giving back to their master.

Feeling the sensation from Pikachu, his five senses were activated, touch and hearing turned into vision, and looking at the sound waves like wind and water, Hu Xiuwu knew that an alien was visiting.

Moreover, the sound arrives before the person does, which means the person who comes is not a good person.

Hu Xiuwu finished his training, reached his right hand into the invisible waves, slowly drew out his sword, and walked out of the door, but he saw Chen Duo first.

I also learned from Chen Duo that the Gao family is in chaos. All the Gao family members went to the front yard to welcome King Qiuci, but the Gao family members seemed surprised by the sudden visit of King Qiuci.

Although Chen Duo is not talkative, she is smart and intelligent. She knows a lot of things, but she just doesn't like to communicate with others.

The King of Kucha came to visit unexpectedly.

After a little thought, Hu Xiuwu understood who was responsible for the probing sound waves just now. At the same time, he also learned from Chen Duo how big a noise he had made just now.

The strange people in the entire Yancheng can sense the abnormal trend of the heaven and earth's vitality.

If Yancheng was not the territory of King Zeluo of Kucha, and if Zeluo was not the strongest person besides the Queen of Jingjue, and had a very high prestige among the Western Regions, he would be in Yancheng, and although other people were curious about the situation here, they would not dare to act rashly for the time being. It is possible that Zeluo is not the only one coming.

Chen Duo asked: "What should we do?"

Hu Xiuwu leaned on the laurel, his twenty-four spirits returned to their positions, and with Luo Fengtian at his back, he could attack or retreat, and he was naturally full of confidence:

"Let's just wait here for King Kucha. He has already discovered us. If we hide now, it will make us look guilty. If we avoid talking about it, there will always be misunderstandings."

·······Time regression line······

Ze Luo put his hands on his waist and puffed out his chest, as if he had not heard what Hu Xiuwu had just said:

"I seem to have seen you guys somewhere before. Oh, you are the one wanted by Jingjue."

"If you are brought to the Queen of Jingjue, Kucha will be able to relax a lot next year."

Although Luo was speaking in a tone as if he were chatting with an acquaintance, after seeing Hu Xiuwu, the softness that Luo had just felt towards Gao Gu disappeared. Although he did not show it on his face, he was roaring in his heart:

Gao Gu, you actually dared to lie to me in person! !

I will tear you into pieces!

Hu Xiuwu and Gao Lu were also surprised that the King of Kucha could speak Chinese.
