Chu Yunfei knew what these gangsters were thinking, so he didn't bother to pay attention. He said to Ma Shumou, Li Chu and others: "You guys eat quickly and let the soldiers prepare and be on guard. Wait and listen to my orders."
His expression was serious when he spoke. Ma Shumou, Zhang Wu and other soldiers were used to getting along with him, and they knew that this prince usually had a playful and ruffian look on his face, but when he spoke with a straight face, no one dared to say anything.
At that moment, Ma Shumou and other soldiers received the order and ran back to their seats like rabbits to eat.
Li Chu smiled and said: "Prince Jin, if there is any need for you to use the young general, just give me your order."
Chu Yunfei glanced at him quietly, knowing in his heart that Li Chu was making his position clear to him. He nodded and said: "General Li, now General Gao Qiang has left the army without authorization. This dog-head in the ancient capital has no respect for his superiors. I have committed the crime."
You have caused rebellion. Now you are respected in the army. I hope that the general can lead the entire army and let the soldiers work together to serve the country loyally for the Sui Dynasty!"
Li Chu listened to Chu Yunfei's words, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Prince Jin, our brothers are eating the salary of the Great Sui Dynasty and serving as soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty. As long as the King of Jin has any orders, our brothers will go through fire and water."
Don’t give up!”
Chu Yunfei nodded with great satisfaction, reached out and patted Li Chu on the shoulder and said: "General Li, if there is anything you are busy with, please discuss it with General Ma and the others. They are all brothers, so you are welcome."
Li Chu nodded calmly, knowing clearly in his heart that Ma Shumou was Chu Yunfei's right-hand man, and he had five thousand soldiers at his disposal. Chu Yunfei would definitely not let him be alone.
Chu Yunfei knew what he was thinking and said with a smile: "General Li, there will be a long time to come. Brothers have been together for a long time, and many things will take their course."
With that said, he turned around and walked towards the female soldiers' barracks.
Lan Ling and other female generals were also having breakfast. When they saw the three people coming in, they hurriedly stood up to greet them. Lan Ling looked at Li Muqing behind Chu Yunfei, with a trace of surprise in his eyes. He never expected that there were such peerless beauties in Jinan City.
There are fragrant grasses everywhere.
She smiled slightly and said: "Brother, why did you come back so early?"
Chu Yunfei stepped back and briefly explained what happened. Finally, he said: "I think this matter is a bit strange. How could Gao Agu be so courageous? How dare he recruit troops without permission? Isn't this a death wish?
?”
Lan Ling also frowned, and said after a moment: "This is really strange. Recruiting soldiers privately is tantamount to conspiracy. He dares to do such a thing. There must be something wrong behind it."
Chu Yunfei nodded in agreement. Lan Ling was right. After all, Gao Agu was an official of the imperial court. He dared to recruit soldiers privately, and the recruits he recruited disappeared. There must be a big problem here. With Gao Agu's courage and ability
, I really didn’t realize that he was so capable. There must be someone involved behind the scenes in this matter, but who this person is is unknown now. I think of it when I just stepped into Jinan and was ambushed twice, and
The opponent's methods are obviously not ordinary bandits. Are these two ambushes related to Gao Agu? Or does this matter have anything to do with the current Governor Cui Changren?
Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei and Lan Ling looked at each other, and both could see the worry in each other's eyes.
Lan Ling was silent for a moment and said to Chu Yunfei: "Brother, it's not too late. Gao Agu is so bold and reckless and harms the people. This kind of thief will die unjustly. We'd better take action earlier."
Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "Really, you should hurry up and have breakfast. I have asked Ma Shumou and others to make preparations. After breakfast, we will set off now!"
Lan Ling nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if you want breakfast or not, why don't we set off now?"
Chu Yunfei nodded and secretly praised Lan Ling for being smart. In fact, he wanted to rush over to prevent Gao Agu from escaping, but he couldn't say it directly.
At that moment, everyone was gathering and ready. Chu Yunfei turned around and left the camp. Ma Shumou and Li Chu were standing side by side. They had already gathered the soldiers. When they saw Chu Yunfei coming out, they all bowed to him and saluted him: "Prince Jin, the soldiers are ready."
alright."
Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "General Li, you lead the defenders behind and we will set off right now."
Li Chu nodded and said, "Yes, King Jin!"
Chu Yunfei waved to Uncle Ma and said, "Let's go to the magistrate's Yamen now!" As he said that, he picked up the horse's reins and took the lead.
Ma Shumou had long been familiar with Chu Yunfei's vigorous and resolute style, so he didn't say much and hurriedly called for the soldiers to follow Chu Yunfei closely.
The sound of horse hoofs trampled the calm morning light. It was still early at this time, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Chu Yunfei and his party galloped on their horses, and not long after, they arrived at the gate of the magistrate's office.
Gao Agu's residence was right behind the magistrate's office. Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said to Uncle Ma: "Invite Gao Agu to come out."
Ma Shumou got the order and rushed into Gaofu with hundreds of soldiers.
Chu Yunfei looked at the door quietly without saying a word.
After a while, there were bursts of shouts from inside the gate, the shouts of Ma Shumou and other sergeants, and the shouts of men, women, old and children in the mansion.
After more than an hour, Ma Shumou escorted dozens of people out.
He bowed slightly to Chu Yunfei and said: "Prince Jin, Gao Zhifu is not in the palace."
Chu Yunfei snorted coldly. This outcome had been expected by him. When the figure floated away from Cuiyun Temple, Chu Yunfei thought that Gao Agu might escape, but for the sake of Li Muching and Liu Moqian
Concerned about the girl's safety, he still did not pursue her. In the middle of the night, it was enough for Gao Agu to escape.
Chu Yunfei took a deep breath and said: "Shu Mou, you torture me and see if you can get anything out of these people's mouths."
After saying that, Chu Yunfei turned around and waved to the soldiers behind him: "Let's go to the city gate and have a look."
With that said, he took the lead and ran towards the city gate.
The sound of horse hooves rang rapidly behind him, and a moment later, he had reached the wall of the west gate.
Chu Yunfei glanced into the distance and saw that the Sui army was still stationed outside the city, nothing unusual.
Chu Yunfei thought for a while, waved his hand to call Zhang Wu to his side, and said to him: "Go to the military camp and ask Lu Guangda if there is any movement here? Have they seen Gao Agu?"
Zhang Wu nodded and accepted the order, and just as he was about to leave, Chu Yunfei stopped him again and said: "Let General Lu pay attention and be careful!"
Zhang Wu nodded, then turned around and left.
Chu Yunfei sent people to the four city gates again, asking soldiers to strictly guard them, and at the same time asked Gao Agu's whereabouts.
Not long after, the soldiers sent out rushed back and told Chu Yunfei that Gao Agu had left from the south gate last night, saying there was an emergency military situation. The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop them and let them leave the city.
