At nightfall, Cui Changshi hurriedly walked into the Governor's Mansion and said to Zheng Ye: "Captain Zheng, none of the people sent to assassinate General Pingnan and Gu Qinchen came back. Should we send more people?"
Zheng Ye slowly opened his eyes and stroked the thick beard on his face.
Zheng Ye is over forty years old. He is not tall but has a strong physique.
Zheng Ye listened to Cui Changshi's words and said slowly: "We have already alerted the enemy. No matter how many more we send, they will just fill their teeth."
He had long heard of the reputations of General Pingnan and Gu Qinchen. When Prince An rebelled, they were the two who turned the tide.
Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Unfortunately, these two people came here to check military pay, so Zheng Ye had to deal with them.
Cui Changshi said: "Then what should we do?"
Zheng Ye thought for a while and asked: "Which mountain was the military pay that arrived in Yuzhong robbed? Has it not been found out yet?"
Cui Changshi said: "I sent people to ask, but no one admitted it!"
Zheng Ye touched his beard and said, "That's really weird. Could it be that so much food disappeared out of thin air?"
There were many bandits in the northwest, and it was impossible to wipe them all out, so Zheng Ye assumed that his subordinates were colluding with the bandits.
These bandits regularly paid them gold, silver and jewelry. As long as they didn't make too much trouble, Zheng Ye would turn a blind eye.
Previously, Lieutenant Yuan defected and fled to Kyoto with the secrets of the northwest, but he had no evidence, and the White Fang Holy Spirit could not convict anyone for his empty talk.
Unless the real account book is found, even the Holy One cannot accuse people like Northwest without reason.
But this time, a group of bandits actually robbed the soldiers of their salary and even made trouble with the court.
This just gave the Holy Emperor a reason to send troops to suppress the bandits, so how could it not make Zheng Ye angry?
Zheng Ye said: "Ask again! If we can't find this batch of military pay, all the bandits in the northwest will be killed!"
Cui Changshi hesitated for a moment and said: "Captain, I have an idea."
Zheng Ye said: "Tell me about it."
Cui Changshi is Zheng Ye's think tank.
Cui Changshi said: "Those bandits are all greedy people. If the military salary falls into their hands, it is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. How can they spit it out willingly?"
Zheng Ye suddenly said with sharp eyes: "You have to vomit even if you can't! These bastards! They really think I'm giving them face, they dare to do anything!"
Cui Changshi said: "Captain, please be patient. General Pingnan only brought more than 30,000 people. We don't know who will win against those cunning bandits."
Zheng Ye glanced at him and said, "Are you a vegetarian when you become General Pingnan?"
Cui Changshi said: "We don't know the strength of General Pingnan, but we know the strength of those bandits. The longer these two sides spend, the more beneficial it will be to us."
Zheng Ye thought about the possibility of this method.
Cui Changshi continued: "When General Pingnan and the bandits are both injured, the governor will send troops to support and wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop. Maybe by that time, General Pingnan will accidentally die in the hands of the bandits, and the military salary will also be found. You
I also have the merit of leading troops to suppress bandits."
Zheng Ye stroked his beard and said, "The imperial court sent more than just General Pingnan to the northwest."
Cui Changshi said: "You mean Gu Qinqian?"
Zheng Ye said: "I have heard a little bit about Gu Junyi's son. Although he is not as brave as her father, he is a close minister of the Holy Emperor. He has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats at a young age."
Cui Changshi said: "Then you don't have to worry. Gu Qinchao and General Pingnan have always been at odds with each other. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them are mortal enemies. I am afraid that Gu Qinchao would like General Pingnan to die in the hands of bandits."
Zheng Ye thought about it and felt that this method was feasible.
Gu Yu held Shang Fang's sword in her hand, but she had no soldiers. Without the protection of General Pingnan's 30,000 soldiers and horses, it would be difficult for her to move forward in the northwest.
Officials from all over the northwest who have made huge profits will not just sit idly by.
Zheng Ye said: "Then let them fight. But we still have to find a way to find out the missing batch of military pay. I want to see which bandits are so bold and dare to run wild in my northwest."
----------------------------------------
After all, it was the first time for Gu Yu to fight fiercely for too long. When he got up the next day, his body was still a little sore and there was a dull pain in his lower body.
I have been pure and reticent for two lifetimes, but yesterday I wanted to use all my energy.
When it comes to dignity, Gu Yu must grit his teeth and gain the upper hand even if he endures the pain.
I don't know how many peach blossoms have fallen. They kept fighting until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, but they couldn't decide who would win.
All I know is that the two of them were torn together, with a certain ferocity that wanted to tear each other's bones apart, leaving marks after marks on each other's body.
Gu Yu frowned and put on her clothes, pulling up her already high collar to cover some dog bite marks.
After walking out of the tent, Gu Yu saw Jun Ze at a glance.
The dog seemed to be in much better condition than her, and was unpacking the tent in a relaxed mood. A passing soldier greeted him, and he responded with a smile, as if every fiber of his hair was filled with joy.
Gu Yu tried his best to maintain his dignity, not letting himself get up even if he lost half the time, but also started to tidy up the tent.
When Junze saw Pidian'er, Pidian'er ran over and said, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Gu Yudao: "I feel very well and feel refreshed."
Junze said: "I'm here to help you pack up the tent. Young Master Gu worked hard yesterday."
Gu Yu smiled charmingly, patted his shoulder and said, "It's a bit hard, but it doesn't matter if I work a little harder. Those who can can work harder. Are you feeling well?"
Junze whispered in Gu Yu's ear: "Is it okay? You'll know if you try it next time?"
Gu Yu pretended not to understand and said, "Does your wrist still hurt?"
When he was tied up yesterday, Junze was too eager to break free. With Gu Yu on top of him, he didn't bother to fumble with the complicated unlocking, so he used brute force to pull it open.
The bruises on my wrists still haven't gone away.
Gu Yu nodded when she saw his wrist and said, "I was a little rude to you yesterday. I'll pay attention next time."
Junze narrowed his eyes, do you still want a next time?
Guan Yan, who came to deliver breakfast to Junze, stopped for a moment and was immediately in a dilemma.
What kind of tiger and wolf words is this!
Could it be that Mr. Gu, who is almost a head shorter than their master, is the one above?
There are also bruises on the wrists and roughness and so on.
this...
Is it so exciting?
Why didn't his master react at all? He turned his back to him and lowered his head, seeming a little shy!
It seemed that he acquiesced in what Mr. Gu said.
For the first time, Guan Yan didn't think he was so smart. Why could he still hear the voices of his master and Young Master Gu when they were already very quiet?
"What are you doing standing here?"
Pingsha came from behind and brought Gu Yu the porridge and pancakes made in the morning.
Junze turned around and saw Guan Yan.
Guan Yan quickly looked away and handed the food to Junze.
When he got closer, Guan Yan accidentally saw the marks on his master's neck and the broken lips.
Guan Yan's face was so paralyzed that he couldn't help but move.
Is this... so intense?
Young Master Gu is too ungrateful.
Pingsha still looked stupid. After delivering the food, he turned around and left.
Guan Yan quickly followed.
