The next day, it was already bright when Gu Yu opened her eyes. She sat up from the bed and found that her clothes had not changed and her shoes had been taken off and neatly stacked beside the bed.
She quickly remembered what happened last night, took the three-edged sword and ran to the military camp.
But when she arrived at the military camp, it was already mostly empty.
Gu Yu pulled a veteran who stayed in the military camp and asked sharply: "Where are the people? Where have all the people gone?"
The veteran said: "Last night, General Pingnan led seven thousand soldiers and horses from Tongning County out of the city."
Gu Yu couldn't hold back the fire in her heart, she clenched her hands into fists and hit the wall hard.
The Grand Prince brought 70,000 troops to the direction of Tongning County. She originally planned to take 10,000 troops from Tongning County to stop them.
And she had a plan in her mind to retreat early if she couldn't beat him. She cherished her life and had no intention of fighting head-on.
But I didn't expect that Junze, who was desperate for his life, only took away seven thousand.
Using one as ten is like using a mantis' arm as a chariot.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu felt angry again.
Last night, she went to drink with Junze with caution, but she still trusted Junze subconsciously. She didn't expect that he would actually put the sweat medicine in the bowl.
She had an impulse to catch up with him on horseback and ask him why.
Why did he stop danger for her again and again?
But she couldn't. Since Junze left, it was to buy her time. She had to guard Tongning County until the enemy troops came to the city.
Then, receive the news that Junze is dead or alive.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu's heart seemed to be heavy with a stone.
She couldn't help but hit the wall with her fist again.
This feeling of being out of control is really...
Uncomfortable.
A man walked slowly to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu raised her head and saw Jun Xian standing in front of her in a smart outfit, with a stern look on his face that looked a lot like Jun Ze.
Gu Yu asked: "Uncle Shi, why didn't you stop him? You know he has injuries on his hands."
Jun Xian said: "In my Jun family, there are only men who died in battle, and there are no men who are hiding behind others and living an ignoble existence."
Gu Yu said angrily: "Hiding behind others means living an ignoble existence? Do you, the Jun family, act just out of passion?"
Jun Xian has the same peach blossom eyes as the Jun family, but he does not have the same romantic attitude as Jun Ze.
He stared at Gu Yu and said: "The first motto of the Jun family is to serve the country with loyalty. This is the responsibility of the Jun family and the mission of the Jun family. When necessary, it is the highest honor to be shrouded in horse leather. My father is like this, Junze
The same is true for my father. Although I am not in tune, I will do the same if necessary."
Gu Yudao: "Then we can't just bring 7,000 troops and horses! I have clearly prepared 10,000 troops and horses, why don't you let him take them all away."
Jun Xian said: "Why does he only bring 7,000 troops and horses? Others don't understand the reason. Don't you understand?"
Gu Yu was momentarily speechless.
There are only a few soldiers and horses in Tongning County. The more we take away, the less we will leave behind.
Gu Yu is a very selfish person. The more people she takes away, the greater the chance of survival.
But at the same time, if she cannot hold back the rebels with 10,000 troops, Tongning County will be helpless when the troops approach the city.
Junze only took away 7,000 troops, not because he was so conceited that he thought the men he took could equal ten, but because he wanted to leave a glimmer of hope for Tongning County when he was helpless.
Gu Yu was filled with anger and didn't know where to direct it.
She has a modern soul. Even though she traveled many years into the Yu Dynasty, and even though her own father Gu Junyi was a role model for sacrificing his life to serve the country, she still could not understand this kind of loyalty.
Especially when the Holy One is suspicious of him in every possible way.
Jun Xian saw Gu Yu's expression and knew that Gu Yu didn't understand.
Everyone said that he was too ridiculous to be like the Jun family. In fact, the person who was least like the Jun family was his nephew Junze.
Because Junze's father, Jun Jin, died young, and his mother was the eldest princess, she was extremely doting on him. From a young age, he almost always wanted wind and rain.
Junze was raised in the eldest princess's house and did not grow up in Jun's family. He was the child who received the least discipline in his generation.
He even once questioned it in front of the patriarch, saying, "Cultivating one's moral character, managing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. Self-cultivation is obviously the first goal, and peace to the world is the ultimate goal. Why should one sacrifice one's own first goal to serve others' ultimate goal?"
The young Junze learned from the palace and the eldest princess that the world belonged to the Jing family, and he was half of the Jing family.
But he ignored that his surname was Jun, not Jing.
It was destined from the moment he was born that he could only sacrifice himself and contribute to the Jun family of the Jing family.
When the Jun family members heard that he said such disrespectful words, they punished him severely.
But in the blink of an eye, he fell into the arms of the eldest princess and threw aside the Jun family's family motto.
The Jun family watched Junze grow up with trepidation. Fortunately, he calmed down his thoughts and did not say anything shocking, and he was favored by the Holy One.
But Jun Xian knew that Jun Ze had lost his mind. He clearly hid those words in his heart and gave himself the answer.
What the answer is, no one knows.
But it is definitely not the Jun family's family motto of serving the country with loyalty.
Junze brought 7,000 people out this time not to leave a chance for Tongning County, but for Gu Yu, who was protecting Tongning County.
Thinking of this, Jun Xian's eyes began to turn cold.
He himself was a deviant and had no objections to the splitting of the peach blossoms, but he would not wish this to happen to his brother's only son.
The eldest princess once said that Junze has an exquisite heart with seven orifices, but he is unable to understand the word love.
Now that I'm half-open, I'm faced with this life-or-death situation.
And there is this Gu Yu, who only knows how to be angry, but can't even figure out the reason why Junze risked his life and left the city.
Jun Xian felt unworthy of his nephew.
He said coldly: "Gu Yu, everyone's choice is different. Since he chooses to leave the city, you should prepare an escape route for him."
After saying that, Jun Xian left without looking back.
Gu Yu looked at the remaining soldiers and horses in the barracks and turned around to go to the county government office.
...
Magistrate Su and Gu Yu were confronting each other, neither of them looking good.
Magistrate Su County said: "Envoy Gu Qin, what you are doing is unfair."
Gu Yu looked at Magistrate Su and refused to give in, saying, "Magistrate Su, do you want to be honest or do you want to take your life?"
Magistrate Su County has been familiar with the books of sages since he was a child. He is a scholar and doctor who came from the Four Books and Five Classics.
I never expected that the seemingly brilliant Gu Yu would come up with this method.
He didn't want to give in and said: "A gentleman has some things to do and some things he doesn't do. It's hard to obey orders."
Gu Yu looked at Magistrate Su with an extremely cold look in his eyes and said, "Magistrate Su must do this whether he does it or not."
Magistrate Su stood up in shock and said, "Chief Gu, what do you want to do?"
Gu Yudao: "You can stick to your benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, but what about your beloved Yueniang? Is she willing? Don't forget, you are an unswerving supporter of the emperor. When the city is destroyed, Prince An may let Cheng go."
He targets the common people, but will he let you go? Will he let your family go?"
Magistrate Su's expression changed drastically. He was really blind. He actually thought Gu Yu was a gentleman before.
Now that he has not achieved his goal, he even threatens him with Yueniang.
Magistrate Su slowly sat down and said, "Prince An has a good reputation in Jiangnan. If you do this, the people won't believe it."
Gu Yudao: "As long as there is a little doubt, that's enough."
