General Gu asked the chef to prepare a few more dishes to give Li Cangjue a clean slate.
To Li Cangjue's disappointment, Gu Qingying did not go downstairs.
There was no major conflict between the two. In General Gu's mind, Gu Qingying's matter had ended. No matter what the reason was for Li Cangjue to come here, he was here to help.
With Li Cangjue here, even if some minor problems arise, I believe the queen will not dare to find trouble.
Li Cangjue personally poured the wine for General Gu, raised his glass and said seriously: "This glass of wine is to honor General Gu for his hard work in suppressing the bandits."
On the way here, he heard about General Gu's arrest of many bandits.
Although there was Gu Qingying's shadow in all of this, it was really not easy for him that General Gu could accomplish this in such a short period of time.
General Gu raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking, I had to ask some questions.
General Gu pretended to hesitate and then said slowly: "My lord, if you are not also suppressing bandits, why did you come to Qingchuan County?"
Li Cangjue certainly couldn't say that he rushed here because of Gu Qingying.
I had already thought of an excuse on the road and blurted out: "We have captured all the bandits over there, so my father ordered me to help General Gu. There are more bandits in Qingchuan County than anywhere else."
This important road is visited by many passing merchants every year.
If you're lucky, you might only get robbed once.
If you are unlucky, you may be robbed four or five times.
It's okay if the property is gone, but the key is that some of them also have to lose their lives.
These things were so bad that he found it unbelievable after hearing them.
I think they are fighting at the border, why are they fighting desperately on the battlefield?
Don’t you just want the people in the rear to live and work in peace and contentment?
General Gu did not doubt Li Cangjue and said seriously: "We have achieved some results during our visit. We have captured all the bandits in Zhaojia Village, and only one Zhao Jiang escaped. This person's whereabouts are unknown now. I will arrange for someone to do it as soon as possible."
Hunt.”
Li Cangjue said: "Have you heard about the other villages?"
He is not particularly familiar with the situation here. Since he is here to help, he must ask for the specific situation.
General Gu took advantage of the meal time to explain it to Li Cangjue.
upstairs.
After Lu Qingying entered the house, she closed the door directly and entered the space.
The thought of Li Cangjue made me upset, but I felt more at ease in the space.
Went to the cabin, tidied up a bit and then lay down to sleep.
She didn't leave the space until she woke up.
It was pitch dark all around. She slept very well in this space, and she didn't know what time it was outside.
I couldn't sleep anyway, thinking that Li Cangjue was here, and maybe the two of them would see each other more often in the days to come.
Pout.
She didn't want to see Li Cangjue.
So an idea came to my mind, and I quickly entered the space to leave a note for General Gu, and then left the inn.
Shunzi knocked gently on Li Cangjue's door late at night.
Li Cangjue was reading a book and hadn't slept. When he saw Shunzi coming in, he frowned and said, "It's almost midnight. Didn't I tell you to go down and sleep quickly? What's the matter with your sudden appearance?"
Shunzi quickly said: "Miss Gu has left the inn, should we send someone to keep an eye on her?
If it were Li Cangjue from before, he would definitely choose to be stared at.
But now, Li Cang will never do such a stupid thing.
He waved his hands and said, "Why are you staring? With just the people under us, can we keep an eye on her? On the contrary, it will arouse her resentment, which is not worth the gain."
Shunzi was happy when he heard these words, but he had to hold it in.
You must never show your inner thoughts in front of Li Cangjue.
It's better if you don't stare at him! He will have a lot less things to do and won't be scolded.
Li Cangjue spoke so calmly that after letting Shunzi leave, he couldn't stand it anymore.
All that came to mind was Gu Qingying, such as why did Lu Qingying go out now? Why did Lu Qingying not want to see him, and so on.
I couldn't stand the book anymore, so I wanted to lie down in bed and have a good sleep.
As a result, after lying down, I couldn't even sleep peacefully.
Before dawn the next day, Li Cangjue got up.
In fact, I was so upset that I couldn't even sleep last night.
I went downstairs and let the kitchen prepare the meal.
When General Gu heard the movement downstairs, he thought it was Gu Qingying who was up, but when he went downstairs, he saw Li Cangjue.
I wanted to go to Gu Qingying's house to ask if I wanted to have dinner together, but the door opened before my fingers even touched it.
General Gu saw the empty room and the letter on the table.
He opened the letter and read it again, sighing. He didn't expect that Gu Qingying would really sneak away alone.
This was clearly because he wanted to avoid Li Cangjue, and he felt sorry for Gu Qingying at this moment.
Collect the letter and go downstairs.
The food has been placed on the table.
Li Cangjue knew that Gu Qingying had left, and after hearing General Gu say that Gu Qingying had left, he didn't think anything happened.
This made General Gu a little confused.
After the meal, General Gu was ready to go. Qian Tong also took the initiative to find General Gu and said, "Please bring me with you this time. I will definitely be able to help you solve the problem."
General Gu originally planned to bring Qian Tong with him. With Qian Tong around, it would be much easier to do things.
Plus now that I have Li Cangjue, the next step will be much easier.
Li Cangjue was also ready: "Shall we attack Lijiazhai directly today?"
Different from other villages, the villagers of Lijiazhai also live in the village. Of course, the bandits of Lijiazhai also live in the village. Just like Zhaojia Village, their lives are getting better and better because they block roads and steal money. Now,
These people all lived a very good life.
Gu Qingying arrived at Lijiazhai before dawn.
After leaving the horse in the woods, she climbed directly onto the cliff and couldn't help frowning as she looked at the stockade below.
There were not many people in Lijiazhai who came out to block the road and rob, only about twenty people in total, which was not proportional to the previous Zhaojiacun.
You must know that there were about fifty people in Zhaojiacun who came out to steal money.
There are not many residents in Lijiazhai, only about twenty families in total.
But these people live an extremely comfortable life, and every household is not short of money.
Zhao Jiang and Li Dazhuang, the leader of Lijiazhai, were drinking.
The two had known each other before and had a good relationship with each other, but they didn't expect to meet in this way.
Li Dazhuang warmly greeted Zhao Jiang for a drink.
The two of them have been drinking since last night.
After Zhao Jiang drank, he kept complaining.
Looking at Li Dazhuang, he said extremely depressedly: "Do you think our Zhaojiacun is easy? God knows we have offended such a person who shouldn't be offended."
He wanted to know that Gu Qingying and General Gu were so powerful that they ran away when they heard the news.
Li Dazhuang listened carefully and sighed for a while: "It is indeed not easy, but there is nothing you can do! The court wants to suppress the bandits now, and we can only hide."
He wanted to leave with the whole village, young and old, but no one was willing to leave.
