"Sir, these people are unwilling to explain anything."
Bai Yi closed the cell door and stepped forward to report to Gu Liyou.
Gu Liyou stood with his hands behind his hands, standing in the camp and looking in the direction of the capital.
I wonder if Ah Li received his letter.
There has been no reply from Ah Li for several days. I wonder if something went wrong in Kyoto.
"That's all. Although they were captured by our army, remember not to use lynching."
It was already late at night, and it was entirely because Gu Liyou could not sleep because he cared about the people in Kyoto that he came to visit the camp.
"yes."
A few days ago, bandits invaded the city on a large scale and robbed food. Fortunately, Gu Liyou responded early and protected the people of Liangcheng.
The few people detained in the prison were the bandits that day.
Bai Yi felt strange and said:
"Sir, although they have become prisoners, they are extremely arrogant and determined that they can leave safely."
Hearing this, Gu Liyou's eyes were dull, looking particularly cold under the dim moonlight.
"Are they so sure that the big tree behind them is reliable?"
Gu Liyou's voice was low, and his expression was indifferent that Ye Sili had never seen before.
Eleven days ago, when he arrived in Liangcheng for the first time, Sun Yan, the magistrate of the state, welcomed him from afar and held a large banquet. After several tests during the banquet, Gu Liyou used a trick to make Sun Yan think that he was easy to control.
Ten days ago, he asked to inspect Liangcheng's account books for more than ten years on the grounds of his responsibilities. The account books provided by Sun Yan were full of loopholes. He pretended to cooperate and never mentioned them, which was even more recognized by Sun Yan.
Eight days ago, he took out the deployment plan of Liangcheng and discussed it with Sun Yan for a whole day. As for the fact that Liangcheng had tens of thousands of troops stationed but was repeatedly harassed by bandits, making it difficult for the people to live, Sun Yan gave the reason - "That bandit
It's because they are too strong, especially those two barbarians Duan Jiang and Duan Tian. Although Liangcheng has many soldiers and horses, it is really unable to cope with its lack of materials."
Six days ago, in the middle of the night, Duan Tian, the leader of the second bandit village, led a sneak attack. Gu Liyou had already made complete preparations and blocked Duan Tian and his party outside the city. As a result, traces of bandits appeared in the city. Gu Liyou
In order to protect the people in the city, You had to fight quickly and withdraw his troops back to the city, and captured a few people alive. Duan Tian was not eager to fight. It seemed that he came to provoke you this time just to give Gu Liyou a show of strength.
In the past few days, Sun Yan was worried that Duan Tian and his party would make a comeback, so he proposed many times to release the bandits.
Gu Liyou and Bai Yi left the camp and returned to the yard where they rested.
Bai Yi said worriedly: "Sir, after the last battle, I always feel that those bandits are not like ordinary bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings."
Gu Liyou motioned for him to continue.
"They fought in an orderly manner, and their weapons and equipment were unlike those possessed by ordinary bandits."
It feels like...
"Like those who have been trained in the army." Gu Liyou's voice was warm and cool, blending in with the cool night breeze of the summer moon.
"Yes." Bai Yi couldn't help but worry: "If the bandits have anything to do with the army, then your situation will be in danger, sir."
"Sun Yan is clearly testing your attitude these days."
Indeed, as far as Sun Yan knew, Gu Liyou was just a young general who had been on several battlefields. Now he was sent by the Holy Lord to this remote place to suppress bandits. It seemed that he was not being reused by the Holy Lord. If this general did not understand current affairs,
Then he wouldn't mind leaving the general here forever to accompany the officials who came to suppress the bandits before.
Gu Liyou said indifferently: "If Sun Yan thinks he can manipulate me at will, just give it a try and he will find out."
Early the next morning, Gu Liyou and Bai Yizhen were having breakfast when they heard their men coming to report:
"General, there is someone making trouble at the city gate."
The compound where Gu Liyou was staying was guarded by his own people, and the people who came to report were the Liangcheng soldiers.
Bai Yi asked back:
"Is someone making trouble? If I remember correctly, Sun Zhizhou made it clear that my young master is here to suppress bandits, and he is not here to take care of such trivial matters in your city."
A few days ago, Gu Liyou and Sun Yan went to the streets to understand the people's sentiments. As a result, they encountered soldiers in the city acting violently and imposing taxes. Bai Yi stepped forward to stop the soldiers who were about to violently attack the old man in his 60s, but Sun Yan got angry.
.
Although Gu Liyou treated the soldier with sixty sticks in front of everyone and killed most of the soldier's life, Bai Yi couldn't be surprised by Sun Yan's character!
"Why, if someone is deliberately causing trouble, do I need to trouble my young master to solve it?"
Bai Yi took a big mouthful of rice porridge and continued to eat breakfast.
Seeing that Gu Liyou had no intention of taking care of him, the soldier said anxiously:
"General, could you two please go and have a look."
"That woman, who is very skilled in martial arts, insists on breaking into the city gate. The brothers guarding the city gate really can't stop her."
"Moreover, she specified that she wants to see you, General."
Gu Liyou put down his chopsticks: "Do you know who she is?"
"The woman was holding a long whip. She said she was barking..."
"Luchun?" Bai Yi was shocked.
"Yes! It's late spring."
Bai Yi and Gu Liyou looked at each other and were both shocked. They both stood up one after another. Gu Liyou asked:
"She's the only one?"
"Yes, that girl is in a state of embarrassment and is currently entangled with her brothers at the city gate."
Before the soldier could finish speaking, Gu Liyou and Bai Yi rushed over immediately.
"Pa!" Munchun's long whip slashed hard, hitting the soldier hard.
At the city gate, many soldiers were lying on the ground, wailing in pain.
Late Spring looked tired, the wounds on her body were mixed with the blood on her clothes. She was holding a long whip, her eyes were bloodshot, her lips were chapped, her voice was hoarse, and she said angrily:
"I told you that I have something urgent to ask to see Mr. Gu Liyou! Here is the token of Mr. Yu's Mansion in Kyoto. Are you all blind?"
She galloped all night and finally reached Liangcheng, but the soldiers refused to let her in no matter what. She explained carefully for a long time, and even took out the princess's token of the Ye Mansion, but the blind men didn't believe her.
Get to know Mr.
The situation last night was so critical. The princess was still waiting for her to find the young master and go to rescue him. She couldn't delay even a moment and had to be forced to fight.
The soldiers surrounded her, and one of them scolded: "Look at your inhuman appearance. How could you recognize General Gu? Is he not a spy sent by the enemy?"
"..." Mu Chun didn't bother to talk nonsense with them. He held the princess's token tightly and swung his long whip at the man in an instant.
For a time, late spring fell into a melee again.
"stop!"
When Gu Liyou and Bai Yi arrived at the city gate, they were shocked to see the late spring in front of them.
The person in front of me has messy hair, unclean clothes, and is stained with dark brown blood. The long whip in his hand is fierce and merciless. It is obvious that he has gone through a fierce battle. At this time, his eyes are red, but because of the opponent
They were officers and soldiers but did not take their lives.
Bai Yifei stepped forward and kicked away the soldiers who were attacking Wuchun's rear.
When the soldiers saw Gu Liyou and Bai Yi coming, they also stopped their actions.
"Wuchun." Bai Yi looked at Munchun's injuries at close range, his eyes filled with distress.
"...Bai Yi." Munchun's voice was hoarse. When he saw it was Bai Yi, the vigilance in his eyes instantly dropped.
Late in the spring, he was exhausted. At this moment, he saw that Bai Yi finally didn't have to hold on. He was dizzy and almost unsteady on his feet. Fortunately, Bai Yi supported him.
Seeing that Mu Chun was too seriously injured, Gu Liyou quickly asked Bai Yi to take her back home.
Returning to the resting place, Munchun took the warm water from Bai Yi and drank several glasses of it. In the end, he choked violently and coughed.
"Drink slowly." Bai Yi hurriedly patted her back to calm her down.
"I've only been away for a short time, and you actually made yourself look like this." Bai Yi's tone was distressed.
Gu Liyou introduced the doctor into the house.
"Sir, my injury doesn't matter."
Seeing Gu Liyou in front of him in late spring, he knelt down with tears in his eyes.
"Sir, please save the princess quickly!"
They ran around for several days and after a fierce battle, she finally found her young master. Looking at the familiar young master and Bai Yi in front of her, she could no longer hold back her tears and her eyes were sore.
Gu Liyou quickly helped her up and asked, "What's wrong with Ah Li? What happened?"
Late spring wiped away her tears, suppressed the soreness in her eyes, and said:
"The princess received the news in Kyoto and was worried that you were in danger, so she took me, Huan Xia and Qing Luo and rushed to Liangcheng day and night."
"But we accidentally ran into bandits last night."
"However, we were outnumbered and outnumbered. At the critical moment, the princess sent me out."
Speaking of this, Wu Chun looked at Bai Yi, who immediately asked the doctor out of the house, then checked around the courtyard to make sure no one was around before entering the house and closing the door.
"This is the Ye family's military order specially sent by the princess this time."
Late spring took out the Ye Family Army token, handed it to Gu Liyou with both hands, and whispered:
"The princess and Master Jiufeng guessed that the officials in Liangcheng might have different intentions and were worried that the master would be in danger, so they sent the token specially to relieve the master's difficulties."
Gu Liyou collected the token and didn't ask any more questions, he just said with concern:
"How's Ah Li doing?"
"The situation was critical last night. The princess must have known that we could not escape intact, so she tried her best to cover my escape. But don't worry, sir, with Huan Xia and Qing Luo protecting the princess, the princess will be safe."
In the second half of the sentence, Munchun said it without any confidence. The group of bandits last night were barbaric, and I don't know what happened to the princess and the others.
"Bai Yi, gather the troops." Gu Liyou ordered.
"Sir, the people in Duan Village are different from ordinary bandits. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to attack rashly. What's more, Sun Yan hasn't settled down yet, and the variables are unpredictable." Bai Yi tried to stop him.
Gu Liyou lost his usual calmness and only said: "Those bandits are murderous and vulgar. If Ah Li falls into their hands, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Young Master," Mu Chun said, "The princess has repeatedly asked me to hand over the token to you. She must have a plan, and she must not fail in her success."
Wuchun and Bai Yi tried their best to persuade each other, and Gu Liyou finally calmed down.
He paced anxiously in the room and paused suddenly.
According to Ah Li's temperament, if there was no chance of survival, she would definitely fight to the death. She was also familiar with his temperament, and knew that if he knew that she was in trouble, he would go to rescue her at all costs.
But now she asked Mu Chun to risk his life to deliver the token, and specifically told him about Liangcheng. She wanted him to put the people of Liangcheng first, which also meant that she had other plans...
