35. With ulterior motives (seven)

He Rongjin raised his head and saw more than a dozen Turkic guards searching along the street with painted paper in their hands.

The street people rushed to avoid it.

"Have you ever seen this person?"

The escort soon came to him.

He Rongjin glanced at him and felt shocked. Because the person in the painting was not the Qi Zhai he thought, but Que Shu!

His hesitation made the guard ask again impatiently, and he hurriedly pinched his throat and said, "I have never seen it."

The guards soon chased to the next house.

He Rongjin sat in the snack shop, thinking a lot. Why was the person they were looking for was Que Shu, not Qi Zhai or Tabu? Did Qi Zhai and Tabu have fallen into their hands? But Que Shu was not conspicuous in the mission, so why did Que Zhu look for him alone?

Could it be...

Looking back on Quezhu's "General He Gu", his heart continued to sink. At that time, he only wanted to find Que Shu, so he didn't delve into it. When he thought about it, Quezhu knew that he was He Gu, obviously not a day or two, but he never mentioned it, and even took the initiative to promote his opportunity to contact the Western Qiang mission. He said that Quezhu had no intention, and he didn't believe it. If he wanted to say something that was worthy of careful planning by the Turkic Khan, he was afraid that he would be the person painted on paper today.

...

trap!

He Rongjin couldn't sit still anymore, and always felt that while he was sitting idle, Que Shu might fall into Quezhu's trap. There were too many doubts in this matter to be solved, but the only thing he wanted to do at the moment was to find the person tightly wrapped in the doubt.

He didn't care whether his turn would attract the attention of those who were interested. He came out of the small shop and followed the path he walked through the Turkic Guards and searched from house to house.

At noon, the sun is scorching.

Sweat was flowing down He Rongjin's forehead from time to time, and he could no longer tell whether it was hot sweat or cold sweat. He only knew to follow these guards tightly. If Que Shu fell into Quezhu's hands, someone would definitely notify them to evacuate.

The Turkic guard left the herbal tea shop. He was about to follow him when he saw a familiar figure flashing through a corner of the herbal tea shop and sneaking into a narrow alley.

He Rongjin felt a move in his heart and subconsciously followed.

The alley was extremely narrow, allowing only one person to pass through, with a corner at the end. As soon as he was about to turn, he felt something strangled on his ankle, and then a crisp ringing rang.

The sound of wind breaking ahead came.

He Rongjin raised his hand to hold the knife that the other party slashed over, and asked, "Where is Qi Zhai?" If he did not admit his mistake, this person should be one of the guards of the Western Qiang mission.

The other party grabbed the hilt tightly, "I don't know what you are talking about!"

He Rongjin let go of the surgery and looked down at the line with a bell tied in front of his ankle. If he hadn't been injured in his legs and feet, his steps would never have been so low.

The other party raised his hand and slashed again. He Rongjin bounced the blade with one finger, pushed him into the corner, raised his leg and walked over the long line. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the man running two or three feet away. He shook his head helplessly, and he raised his breath and flipped his way to the front of the man.

"If you want to kill, kill, don't let your mother-in-law and mother!" The man knew that he was no match for him, so he simply raised his head and exposed his neck.

He Rongjin took off his face towel and said, "It's me."

The man stared at him for a long time before tentatively saying, "Mr. He?"

He Rongjin sighed and said, "Extraordinary times, extraordinary things have to be done..."

"I understand." The man looked even more embarrassed than him, "Mr. He is here..."

Although he recognized him, the other party's warning not only did not decrease, but became more and more intense. He Rongjin knew his identity and made the other party suspicious, so he said, "I'll help."

The man said, "Oh." He didn't believe it very much.

He Rongjin said: "I am no longer the head of the Little Khan's Mansion."

"oh."

Seeing that he was inactive, He Rongjin had to grit his teeth and said, "I am He Gu."

The man said in surprise: "What?"

He Rongjin said: "General of the Western Qiang, He Gu."

The man frowned and said, "I have met Lord He Gu. He is the number one general under my king, but when did he become the general? Ah, are you the general of King Min Feng?"

He Rongjin was silent. He didn't understand the first sentence, but the second sentence made his heart sore.

The man stared at He Rongjin and used his hand holding the knife to secretly force, "Are you going to seek revenge on Lord Qi Zhai?"

He Rongjin said: "Even if I want to take revenge, I will never join forces with the Turks to deal with the Western Qiang. Even if I am no longer a general, I am still a citizen of the Western Qiang."

The man couldn't help but be moved by one sentence, "General."

He Rongjin said, "If you are not at ease, please bring me a message to Qi Zhai. I will wait for him to reply to the message in the herbal tea shop." After he said that, he turned around and left without any delay.

There was a rapid sound of running behind, getting farther and farther away.

He Rongjin thought about it and turned around and followed. He did not deny the news from beginning to end, which shows that he knew his whereabouts. Although doing this would be a rebellious thing, he did extraordinary things in extraordinary times. If something happened to him when he was waiting for the rabbit, it would be too regretful.

However, the other party seemed to have thought that someone would follow him. Not only did he wander around the alley for a long time, but he also walked around the downtown area for two times, and he did not return to the original herbal tea shop until the evening.

He Rongjin took the lead in pretending to wait before he arrived. He obviously felt that the other party's expression was relaxed a little after seeing him, and then he thought he had crawled back into the alley without knowing it.

The alley was narrow, and He Rongjin dared not get too close. He could only follow behind based on the sound of his footsteps.

I should have thought that since he would set up a bell here, I must be afraid that someone would find this place, so why should I follow him around? Waiting for a rabbit here is more labor-saving. Isn’t it easier to wait for the rabbit? Isn’t it easy to relax even though I think about it, but I don’t want to relax a little.

After half a day of tracking, his injured foot began to hurt again. However, for him, such pain was just drizzle and was not worth worrying about. The only thing to worry about is whether the improved injury will worsen.

The knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

He leaned over the eaves and leaned on the ground. He watched the other party walk into a house for a long time and didn't see him. He knew that this place was probably the temporary destination for the Western Qiang delegation to be disbanded.

This house is very small and has no courtyard. If you want to enter the house, there are only two roads: doors and windows.

He hesitated for a while and decided to knock on the door honestly.

The door knocked for nearly a stick of incense for a while, but no one responded, but the vague sound of walking behind the door could be heard.

He Rongjin had no choice but to speak, "It's me."

There was a panic sound inside. After a while, the door was finally opened. The one who opened the door was the Xiqiang guard who had been followed by him. He said with anger: "Steal me!"

He Rongjin sighed and said, "I have no choice."

The guard said, "What the hell do you want?"

He Rongjin said: "I want to see Qi Zhai."

"He's not here."

"No?" He Rongjin tilted his head and looked over him and looked into the room. Although there was no light in the room and the light was dim, he could vaguely see a person sitting inside.

The guard said, "Only my colleagues and I are there."

He Rongjin did not ask, "What are your plans?"

The guard said: "We want to find the whereabouts of Lord Qi Zhai first."

He Rongjin said calmly: "Do you have any eyebrows?"

The guard shook his head sadly.

He Rongjin suddenly pushed him away with a palm.

Although he was caught off guard, the guard's body still pushed forward with force, but was bounced further away by his palm.

He Rongjin stepped into the house.

The person who was originally sitting in the room was obviously prepared and hid in the tent quickly.

...

He Rongjin thought, maybe he guessed wrongly. This person could not be Qi Zhai or Que Shu. Qi Zhai did not have such agile skills, and Que Shu did not have such a little courage. Even though he thought so, he still took a glimmer of hope and opened the tent.

Tabu looked at him innocently.

"You..." Seeing him was already a surprise for He Rongjin! He was here, Que Shu and Qi Zhai should not be far away. He Rongjin blurted out, "Where is Que Shu?"

Ta preached: "Wang and I are separated."
