Gao Yu didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation because he had something to do.
But Yan Qing is different. He is cautious by nature and has always been vigilant along the way.
ambush?
Gao Yu was stunned and looked at Yan Qing in confusion.
However, before he could react, he heard a "scroll" sound coming from his ears. From the hillsides on both sides of the valley, behind the stones, and in the bushes, they quickly rushed towards Gao Yu and Yanqing.
Gao Yu subconsciously turned his hand, and a cold carp blade appeared in one hand.
What is this situation and why are there ambush here? However, judging from the dress of these people, it seems that they are not the rebels of the Ming Cult.
"Who are you waiting for?"
Yan Qing leaned against Gao Yu, holding a short sword in each hand.
But the people did not make a sound, but quickly surrounded the two of them.
They held weapons, and there were even more. There were two rows of archers on the high ground, about twenty people.
After these people surrounded Gao Yu and the others, they didn't say anything.
The solemn aura contained in the silence made people frightened.
"Who are you? Why are you sneaking on the road late at night?"
A strong and burly man walked up to him in a mandarin language with a strong Kansai accent.
He is much taller than Gao Yu, with wide arms and round waists.
He was dressed in black and had a big knife in his hand, which was bright and eye-catching in the darkness.
Kansai accent?
Gao Yu's heart moved and looked at the other person.
He slowly put away the cold carp blade, then patted Yan Qing's arm, and said in a deep voice: "I am Gao Yu, the son of Gao Qiu, the Grand Marshal in front of the palace. I sneaked into Hangzhou to find out the news by my father's order. Who are you? Why did you block my way late at night?"
Kansai accent, a very standard Kansai accent.
Most of the subordinates of the Ming Cult are from Liangzhe Road, and most of them speak the dialect of Liangzhe Road.
At this time, such a group of people appeared and spoke a Guanxi accent, which made them look particularly weird.
Gao Yu vaguely guessed the other party's origin, but was not sure.
The reason why he revealed his identity like this was actually to bet... After all, such a group of people suddenly appeared near Hangzhou, and they were obviously not rebels of the Ming Cult. There was only one possibility, these people were official troops and people from the court.
"Are you Gao Yanei?"
Gao Yu's answer surprised the other party.
He waved his hand quickly, signaled his subordinates to put away their weapons, then took two steps forward, and said sternly: "How can you prove it?"
prove?
Gao Yu thought for a while and said, "I can't prove my identity, but my uncle Gao Jie, who is now Quanzhi Jiaxing County, is leading his troops to siege Chongde."
Not many people know Gao Jie's identity.
Most people only know that he has a background in Bianliang, otherwise he would not have been able to turn from a military officer to a civil servant all at once.
The burly man obviously knew some inside information and was immediately surprised.
He hurriedly bowed and bowed, "The young general Han Shizhong is the second general of Qin Feng Road, General Yang Keshi. At the order of General Yang, we came to Hangzhou to pick up the Yanei. We have been outside the city of Hangzhou for three days, but we have not been able to enter the city, so we had to hide in the mountains. We didn't know how to contact Yanei, but we didn't expect... Yanei, if you offend me just now, please forgive me."
It was indeed the imperial army!
However, Gao Yu did not expect that these people came for him.
Who is Yang Keshi?
He had never heard of the name.
However, Gao Yu did not doubt Han Shizhong's words.
"Is the imperial army coming?"
"General Yang's troops are approaching Hangzhou, and I believe they will arrive in less than two days."
That is, it hasn't come yet... Gao Yu's eyes flashed, he glanced at Han Shizhong and others, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and said to Han Shizhong: "General Han, you are here just right. I just discovered something. Let's leave here first and explain in detail."
"Okay, our hiding place is not far from here.
Yanei, please follow me.”
Han Shizhong said, waved his hand to signal everyone behind him to retreat.
Gao Yu was about to follow him, but he felt Yan Qing pulling behind him, so he turned around and looked at Yan Qing.
“Be careful of fraud.”
"I know, but now, I have to take a risk."
Seeing Gao Yu's attitude was firm, Yan Qing knew that it would be useless to persuade him again.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said softly: "Yanei, sometimes I think that if you are in the world, you must be a desperate person."
"Is that so? Maybe."
Gao Yu smiled and pulled Yan Qing to catch up with Han Shizhong.
Along the way, Han Shizhong and others were silent. Although the night was dark, they were moving in an orderly manner and there was no confusion at all. Some people were clearing the way in front, some were alerting on both sides, and some were dragging them back and monitoring, which looked orderly.
This is definitely not a rebel!
Even the strong men under Fang Qifu were afraid that they would not be able to do so.
"General Han, how many people did you bring this time?"
"If Yaneixiu calls him that, how can a young general be called a general?
The young general brought a hundred people this time, all of whom were the most elite night tour gods of the Western Army, and he could definitely protect the safe evacuation of the Yanei."
Night travel god means scout or horse exploration.
This is a group of real scholars, not only with excellent martial arts skills, but also extremely capable.
When Gao Yu was wandering around with his master, he had seen the combat power of the Western Army's Night Tour God. It seemed that Yang Keshi attached great importance to him, otherwise he would not have sent so many "Night Tour Gods". However, he was even more curious about Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong looked about twenty-seven or eight years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a heroic spirit in every move.
He seemed to have great prestige among this group of people.
If you can make so many "night walkers" follow the command, you will definitely not be able to do it without some skills.
The group was walking on the mountain road and soon arrived in a remote valley.
There is a cave in this valley, with vines covering the entrance of the cave. If you do not search carefully, it will be difficult to find the cave exists.
There is someone to be alert at the entrance of the valley.
After Han Shizhong met them, he led Gao Yu and the others into the cave.
The cave is very large and can accommodate at least three or five hundred people.
Inside the cave, there are more than a hundred war horses tied deep in the cave.
There was a bonfire with two wild boars on it, and they were barbecuing. Han Shizhong asked Gao Yu and the others to sit down, and then ordered someone to get hot soup to drive away the cold.
"General Han, don't be polite, let's talk about it for a long time."
Gao Yu took a sip of hot soup and felt warm all over and comfortable.
He said in a deep voice: "Just Brother Xiao Yi and I went to inquire about military information just now. Now, the rebels are building dams and storing water at Sanhekou, upstream of the Lanjiang River.
The guards around it are extremely tight and look unusual.
Brother Xiao Yi and I are not engaged in military affairs, so we can't see what the rebels intend. The general is here to solve my doubts."
"Build a dam to store water?"
Han Shizhong was stunned when he heard this, his thick eyebrows frowned.
"Yanei, what's the situation with the Lanjiang River? I'm a newcomer and don't know much about Hangzhou, so please explain it to me first."
Gao Yu nodded and explained the situation in detail.
"I always feel that building a dam to store water seems to want to flood Hangzhou.
