A herald rode his horse and galloped all the way to the prefect's mansion.
"Report——"
"General Pingnan is in danger at Yanyin Mountain in the Yin Yang Ridge. He does not know whether he is alive or dead. The bandit-suppressing army is leaderless at the moment. Please ask the imperial envoy and the prefect to go to support him."
After hearing the news, Prefect Du came to Gu Yu's courtyard in a panic.
Prefect Du wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, please give me some advice."
Gu Yu:...
Although the acting of this herald is excellent, the panic on his face is just right.
But if Junze is in danger, what will happen to the letter in her hand that was just taken off the pigeon's leg?
What? Can this herald's legs fly faster than a homing pigeon?
In the letter, Junze expressed his sticky longing, and also mentioned that the bandits in Yin Yang Ridge were difficult to deal with.
The bandits everywhere took advantage of the terrain to appear and disappear in the deep mountains and old forests. He and his second uncle teamed up to barely win by three points.
Moreover, this letter was written by Junze himself. Although there are only a few words, it can be seen that the person holding the pen has strong penmanship.
The herald was almost crying and said: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, the suppression of bandits in Yin Yang Ridge is at a critical moment. Please go quickly to provide support."
Governor Du looked confused: "Envoy Gu Qin, what do you think we should do about this?"
Gu Yu secretly crumpled the letter paper in his hand into a ball.
The play has reached this point, and it would be inappropriate for her not to be involved.
Gu Yu said: "Gather your troops and follow me."
Governor Du was surprised and said, "You really want to go?"
Gu Yu glanced at him curiously and said, "Why don't you go?"
Governor Du worriedly said: "But..."
Gu Yudao: "If you have anything to say, Governor Du, you might as well say it directly."
Governor Du moved his fat cheeks and said: "The bandits in Yin Yang Ridge are all extremely vicious people, and the suppression of the bandits is not your responsibility. If you go there rashly, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous."
Gu Yudao: "The bandits are rampant in the northwest, and I think the people have suffered a lot from them. And General Pingnan is missing, so we can't just stand by and watch. If something happens to my colleagues, I won't be able to explain it to the emperor. I have to go this time."
Gu Yudao: "Does Prefect Du care about me very much?"
Governor Du said with a wry smile: "You, General Pingnan, are sent by the imperial court. If something happens to them in Yongzhou, I will no longer be able to wear my black gauze hat."
Gu Yu gave a faint "hmm" and asked people to pack up their things and gather their troops to head to Yin Yang Ridge.
Before leaving, Prefect Du said: "Envoy Gu, there are not many soldiers and horses you can take away from Yongzhou. Besides, you are not familiar with Yin Yang Ridge. Otherwise, we should wait for news."
Du Pang just said that you, a gentle civil servant, can you go to suppress bandits?
Gu Yu rode on his horse, tightened the reins, and said, "Prefect Du, don't forget who my father is."
Governor Du no longer had any position to stop him and said: "Then you must be careful."
Gu Yu rode away, while Governor Du stood there with a worried look on his face.
After Gu Yu left, Ah Qin popped up from the courtyard wall with her skirt in hand, but unfortunately she only saw smoke and dust rising high.
The maid below was very nervous and said: "Miss Aqin, it's dangerous up there, please come down quickly."
The maid raised her head and could not see A Qin's troubled expression.
She fell into confusion again. Is it right or wrong to take this step?
----------------------------------------
Gu Yu followed the herald and walked all the way to Yin Yang Ridge. Ping Sha did not come with her because he had other tasks with Gu Jiajun.
All the way to Yin Yang Ridge, summer has just arrived, the trees here are towering, blocking the sky and the sun, and the air is very cold.
Seeing that he was walking deeper and deeper, with undulating mountains and winding mountain roads, Gu Yu asked: "Are you sure you are not taking the wrong path?"
The herald said: "You are right. If you go further ahead, you will be able to join the troops brought by General Pingnan."
Gu Yu heard this and stopped asking questions.
Gu Yu came to Yin Yang Ridge, mainly to join Jun Ze's "leaderless" army, so the Yongzhou troops he brought were not many, only more than 300 people, but walking in the mountains and forests, he still made a lot of noise.
When they reached a low-lying place, Gu Yu looked up at the sky, but when he got here, he couldn't even tell the difference between east, west, north and south, so he couldn't tell the exact time.
Suddenly, a harsh whistle sounded in the jungle, and a dense crowd of bandits surrounded Gu Yu and others.
Looking at the number of people, there are at least a thousand people.
Before he could react, some random arrows were shot in Gu Yu's direction.
Gu Yu relied on his agile movements to dodge, and reined in his horse to break out of the encirclement. However, before taking two steps, the horse's leg seemed to be tripped by some hidden rope.
The horse under his crotch neighed and was about to fall to the ground.
Gu Yu quickly jumped off the horse and jumped into the grass nearby.
The bandits surrounded them with howls, shouting "disarm and not kill".
Gu Yu held the sword tightly and shouted: "Follow me and kill."
However, the Yongzhou soldiers and horses brought by Gu Yu actually laid down their weapons and retreated together to surrender in the face of more and more mountain bandits.
Gu Yu:...
She knew that the people she brought were trash, but she didn't expect that they were trash to such an extent that they didn't even resist.
"Hahahahaha."
A few wild laughs came from the depths of the jungle.
Gu Yu looked back and saw a woman walking out surrounded by many bandits.
She was dressed in black clothes and had a strong figure. Her short hair was tied together with ropes.
As she got closer, Gu Yu saw that she had thick eyebrows, slightly dark skin, and a pair of bright eyes.
Gu Yu is already the tallest woman, and the woman in front of her is taller than her and has a plump and strong figure.
As she moved, Gu Yu could even see the muscles on her arms.
If it weren't for the laughter she made just now, Gu Yu would have thought she was a rough man.
Seeing that all the people he had brought surrendered, Gu Yu did not struggle needlessly, cupped her fists at the person and said, "I have long admired the name of the Black Lady."
The black lady stretched out her hand, and Gu Yu thought she was going to make a move, so he suddenly became vigilant and tightened his grip on the sword in her hand.
But the bandit next to the black lady just handed an apple to her hand.
The black lady picked up the apple and took a bite in front of everyone.
There was a click, and she chewed it sweetly, which made Gu Yu's mouth water after a hard journey.
I heard the black lady say vaguely: "You have some eyesight and know who I am."
