The mountain road in Yuanyi Valley is the most rugged in the entire Shuangpo Gorge.
Aiming at Shen Lie, who was good at fighting in wild forests, Guo Ziyu and Guo Yu deployed the most elite secret guards here.
But it's too early now, not only the time within a day is early, but also the time between the incident and now.
The bodies of Chen Weimin and others had only been hung up for less than half an hour.
After being tortured and interrogated all night long, six people, twelve eyes, and sixty fingers were destroyed.
The secret guards trained by the Guo family themselves clenched their teeth harder than anyone else, not to mention that these people hated them.
It was precisely because the eyes he looked at were filled with hatred that I simply dug my eyes out.
The sun was getting higher and higher. Guo Ziyu, who had not slept all night, ate dry food in his hand and stood under the stone steps of the garrison's war shed, looking at the six corpses hanging under the big stone shelf.
There were five people standing behind him. In addition to Pei Xianhong and his two personal guards, there was also a middle-aged counselor wearing a Confucian scarf and the counselor's student.
Pei Xianhong looked at the sun and said that it would be very hot from the morning light today.
Guo Ziyu's personal entourage turned around and asked the middle-aged counselor: "Mr. Ouyang, can these six corpses be dried in the sun?"
Ouyang Huandan said: "It's better to dry it in the sun. If it rots, our noses will suffer."
"...Exposing the body." Another follower sighed softly.
Guo Ziyu finished eating the dry food in his hand and patted the crumbs on the corners of his lips: "Water."
He immediately handed over the kettle.
Unlike other young masters of the Guo family who are fair and delicate, Guo Ziyu is quite rough and unkempt.
Daqian advocates beauty, and unlike men in previous dynasties who preferred to grow beautiful beards, many adult men in Daqian are not good at growing beards.
Guo Ziyu, on the other hand, has an extremely thick beard. As he is not yet thirty, his beard is extremely sloppy.
As for his temperament, when he was ten years old, he would go to casinos with his followers, when he was twelve years old, he would kill a gangster on the street with a knife, when he was fourteen years old, he would become brothers with the gangsters outside Zuilu City, and when he was twenty years old, he would have two jealous people competing for him. The Chunlou girl was beaten to a bloody head, one dead and the other injured.
The famous pawnshops, restaurants or gold and silver shops that Drunk Lu calls out all treat him as a guest of honor. The white gang enjoys a good meal and the gangsters live more freely.
Many people say that he is less chivalrous than Guo Shu and more ruffian and wild, but his character is already the one most like Guo Shu among all the young masters in the Guo family.
On the contrary, his father, Guo Yiwen, Guo Shu's fourth son, although he was born into Guo Shu's main wife, was the most gloomy and taciturn among Guo Shu's eight sons.
The people who came to Shuangpo Gorge this time were the fourth brother of the Guo family, Guo Ziyu and Guo Yu, two brothers with the same father and mother, the third in the same clan and the sixth in the same clan.
After sitting all night, Guo Ziyu was already tired, but he still thought he would come and see these six corpses.
He was not present at the interrogation last night. After all, he was once one of his own. He was afraid that he would be too soft-hearted and could not stand it anymore, so he sat next door.
Now let's take a look at the body and treat it as a ride. Although he feels that he is quite shameless and hypocritical, but who cares.
"Third Young Master, you have to rest." Ouyang Huan said aloud.
"It's not appropriate to take these corpses back," Guo Ziyu said, raising his head. "Unless the coffin is nailed shut with nails and not pried open again, otherwise, if people see this scene of death, my reputation, Guo Ziyu's, will be even worse."
"Then don't take it with you," Ouyang Huan said, "We can just take Master Biao back."
"If you take him back, you might have to give him a grand burial?"
"Send it back to Yunliang."
"Hahaha, then we have to take care of his body."
"Um."
"Hey!" Guo Ziyu sighed, turned around and walked towards the big tent a hundred meters away, "It's so cold!"
In another tent, Guo Yu, who had just woken up, was reading a letter.
He was leaning lazily in front of the camp bed while listening to the guards report what happened last night.
When he heard that the people who were looking for the remnants of the defeated army accidentally bumped into Chen Weimin at Jianchungang, Guo Yu looked up from the letter: "Then what? Didn't you continue to look for him?"
"No, after bumping into Chen Weimin and others, he turned to deal with Chen Weimin."
"Mr. Ouyang didn't blame them?" Guo Yu said angrily, "Those people have a close relationship with Shen Lie at a glance. How can they take it lightly if they don't know his identity?"
Guo Yu got up directly and went to look for someone outside the tent.
Ouyang Huan also didn't sleep all night. The servant took off his coat for him and heard Guo Yu calling him.
Ouyang Huanchong pointed out to the servant. The servant nodded and went out to ask Guo Yu to come in.
Guo Yu strode into the tent and saw Ouyang Huan holding a cup of warm wine.
Guo Yu stopped: "Mr. Ouyang."
Ouyang Huan drank a lot, clicked his tongue intoxicatedly, raised his eyes to look at Guo Yu, and said with a smile: "Sixth Young Master."
"Have you sent someone to look for those people who came to Shuangpo Gorge and called out Shen Lie's name?" Guo Yu asked.
"Sent."
"Is there any news?"
"Well," Ouyang Huan smiled awkwardly, "Sixth Young Master, it's hard to have any news for a while."
Guo Yu nodded, paused, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, our opponent is Shen Lie."
"Yes," Ouyang Huan was puzzled, "it's Shen Lie, right."
"To be honest, he makes me uneasy," Guo Yu walked in and sat down behind the camp bed. "Although the troops we met this time were beaten severely by us, it was because we had the upper hand in numbers. They were brave and good at fighting, and they were extremely fierce. It is definitely beyond the reach of these soldiers from Huazhou."
"Yes," Ouyang Huan nodded, "Sixth Young Master, I understand your concerns, so I ordered Pei Xianhong to stop chasing him as far as Jingkengfu."
Facts have proved that there was indeed a fraud.
Afterwards, the men they sent to search for traces found a large number of ambushes against them on the south bank of Daqiu Lake and Jianchungang.
That is, when they were quietly observing the ambush troops, they bumped into Chen Weimin and others who were patrolling at Jianchungang.
It's an unexpected gain.
As for Lu Bao and Shi Yan, they crashed into Shuangpo Gorge on their own.
Lu Bao and Shi Yan were good at riding and shooting, and were extremely alert. To deal with them, Ouyang Huan wanted to use a cruel trick.
He stabbed two secret guards and made them lie in the grass beside the road. They claimed that they had the same fate and were both abandoned by the Guo family. Their verbal conversation made Lu Bao and others relax their vigilance. At the same time, hidden men quietly surrounded them.
It's a pity that these secret guards who they personally trained have been tempered by hunger and cold in Nanhu County. Their temperaments are as stoic as iron. In terms of loyalty and adherence to secrets, they pulled out their fingernails one by one and fingered them. Even if you cut it off completely, you won't be able to get even a single word out of it.
What's even more pity is that this group of men, who are as powerful as tigers, as brave as wolves, and as strong as iron, are now loyal to Shen Lie and are their enemies.
"Sir, you might as well take a guess, who are the people we met in Shuangpo Gorge this time? And, it seems that Shen Lie and them haven't met yet?" Guo Yu said.
"For now, they are not important," Ouyang Huan said. "Young Master Sixth does not need to worry about them. What is important right now is when Shen Lie will come."
"Are they not important?" Guo Yu raised his eyebrows, "Sir, they are well-trained and extremely brave."
