Chapter 573 Time difference (one more)
Nan Gongzheng personally led people to the ferry of Qihuan Mountain and waited. At the same time, Nangong Zhen also led people to run away and killed countless horses, and rushed to Dongshui Ferry to wait for the rabbit, in order to avenge the crime.
But after waiting for two days in a row, no one came.
At this time, Nan Gongzheng also felt that he might have made a mistake in his prediction. With a small face, he stared at the mirror-like ice layer on the Lingshui River that glowed with a clear light when the sun shines on it, his face sank like water.
After staring at it for a while, he said, "It's been a good week."
After a while, he said again: "Zhou Gu of Duke Protector's Mansion, is worthy of being the husband chosen by Ye Guixue, who was abandoned by the princess."
Although Su Rong and Ye Guixue didn't deliberately let the wind out, how did Ye Guixue come back? How did Ye Xiang stay gloomy for several days after Ye Guixue came back? One could guess that Ye Xiangfu's plan fell through.
Ye Luo looked at Nangong Zheng, and asked in a low voice: "Young Master, the person hasn't come yet, did he fall into the river and drown? Or did he go to the Dongshui Ferry? Didn't he be intercepted by Nangong Zhen? Did someone hide him? He was afraid that you would offend, so he sent a letter saying that he didn't wait for anyone?"
"Neither of them." Nangong Zheng said: "Give Nangong Zhen a hundred courage, he wouldn't dare to fool me."
He said: "It may not be that he fell into the river and drowned. It should be that Zhou Gu expected that I would lead people to intercept these two places. He was desperate and entered the poisonous forest."
Ye Luo immediately said: "In the poisonous forest, poisonous gas pervades all the year round, and poisons are rampant. As long as people step into it, within an hour, they will be poisoned and die."
He wanted to say that Zhou Gu wanted to court death, and he didn't bring such a thing. If you follow them to kill hard, you may still have a way to escape, but if you enter the poisonous forest, you will not be able to walk out for three days. Let alone staying in the poisonous forest for three days, the corpses can be eaten by the poison in one day.
"Those who dare to walk in the poisonous forest must have amulets. They may have something to resist the poison." Nangong Zheng was annoyed that he didn't think of it, but so what, he didn't have the thing or medicine that could resist the poison, so it was naturally impossible to follow.
Ye Luo woke up, "Young Master, what should we do now?"
Nangong Zheng said with a cold face, "Pass me an order, all the hidden guards of the Nangong family should turn back and search for the person in the direction of Daliang."
Leaf fall should be immediately.
Nan Gongzheng said again: "Send a letter to Nangong Le, Nangong Zhuo, and Nangong Xi, and they will take over this matter. Be sure to find Zhou Gu and kill him."
Needless to say, the king, if Zhou Gu was killed, there would be no one to protect the king, so he would die the same way.
Yeluo should be again.
Nangong Zheng said: "As for me..."
He lowered his eyes, "According to the original plan, go to Great Wei and see Prince Yuanzhao to borrow troops."
He can no longer play the game of cat and mouse with Zhou Gu, the most urgent thing is to meet the prince Yuanzhao, even more urgently. Otherwise, once Zhou Gu cannot be found, he and the king cannot be killed, and when the princess arrives, with Daliang as the backing, then the Nangong family may be desperate.
He had to fight for another way for the Nangong family.
The three of them did not refute at all after receiving the letter. For so many years, Nangong Yin had established Nangong Zheng's position very firmly. Nangong Zheng's home in Nangong was the center of myth and power. Except for Nangong Yin, everyone must obey his orders. As long as he gives orders, he must obey them all.
So, even if the three of them were older, even if they were called uncle by Nangong Zheng, they immediately took orders and led the secret guards of Nangong's family to search along the girder.
This time, Zhou Gu and Zhang Yun felt the joy of traveling easily. Zhou Gu’s estimate was accurate. Among them, there was a gap of two days after Nangong Zheng realized it. The gap of these two days was enough for Zhou Gu and Zhang Yun to take King Nanchu and walk smoothly on the ground where the secret guards of Nangong’s family were staggered.
After Nangongzheng reacted, they had already traveled hundreds of miles, and it was difficult to find out where they were going, not to mention the large area of the carpet search.
The time difference was good, and they used the Poisonous Forest to bully Nangongzheng at a young age. Even though they were talented, they never would have imagined that they would have life-saving things to resist the Poisonous Zone, dared to enter the Poisonous Forest, and they turned back despite the difficulties.
This calculation made the king of Nanchu feel that he couldn't do it at Zhou Gu's age, even now, he couldn't do it.
Hey, this king, he really seems like a waste.
Zhou Gu saw clearly the admiration on King Nanchu's face, proudly leaned his head over, and asked with a smile next to him: "Father-in-law, how is it? I said turn back, right?"
Nan Chu King reached out and pushed his head away, "Your roast pheasant is almost burnt, I won't eat it."
Zhou Gu immediately turned back, muttering, "How could it be? You can't be confused about a word."
Zhang Yun has also learned how to bake things now. While sprinkling salt and seasoning on pheasants and rabbits, he pondered and said, "It's strange."
"Why is it strange?" Consultant Zhou.
"We've been walking for half a month, and the people from the Nangong family didn't even come after us. This doesn't seem like what Nangong Zheng did." Zhang Yundao: "Think about how hard we were forced half a month ago. He led people from the capital thousands of miles away to almost catch up with us. Group after group of people almost killed us. Not to mention, they knocked down two-thirds of the hidden guards and forced us to go to the poisonous forest and change our way. Now it's been half a month, and the dark guards have joined us. Even now, no one has found us, if Nangong Zheng, there's no way he can't find us."
"Perhaps, Nangong Zheng has other things to do." Zhou Gu also felt that something was wrong, and he had been thinking about it for a long time. "Perhaps, there are more important things about him than finding us and killing him. If it is Nangong Zheng, two days late is nothing to him, and someone should catch up now."
His plan is that it is not terrible for people to catch up, it is best to keep chasing after them, but there is definitely no one behind them now. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so quiet and quiet.
Zhang Yun couldn't figure it out, "Maybe, anyway, it would be better if we don't find us and catch up. On such a comfortable day, I would be crazy to want him to catch up."
"Eat it quickly, and continue on your way after eating." Zhou Gu handed the roasted pheasant to the King of Nanchu who was beside him. He felt that because of his filial piety in serving him, his father-in-law would not make it difficult for him when he returned to the palace and became the Queen of Nanchu who even the Emperor Liang ignored him.
The King of Southern Chu reached out to take it. The roasted pheasant was burnt and yellow, and it was delicious. It was his favorite bite.
The group finished eating quickly, and continued on their way without resting for a moment.
After walking for another seven days, it is obvious that the inspections in cities, states, counties and counties have become very strict again.
Zhang Yundao: "The Nangong family finally locked our direction."
"Are you looking forward to it?" Zhou Gu turned his head to look at him.
Zhang Yun coughed lightly, "An Sheng was on the road for more than 20 days. I thought everyone in the Nangong family was dead, but suddenly they came back to life, and I was a little excited."
