Gu San's luggage is just a small baggage that can be carried on the back.
Since Miss Jiang asked Ming to follow, it would be better.
When Jiang Xiaohua arrived, her eldest brother Jiang Hongzhi had already boarded the carriage.
The uncle and third uncle rode in an ox cart.
Jiang Xiaohua looked around and decided to ride on the bullock cart with her uncle and others.
What a great view!
Sitting in a carriage is too boring.
Listening to Jiang Xiaohua's footsteps passing in front of the carriage.
"Hua'er, come up!" Jiang Hongzhi's voice sounded from inside the carriage.
"Brother, I'll still follow my uncle and the others..."
"Come up!"
Jiang Xiaohua raised her eyebrows, she wanted to refuse.
"Hua'er, you look too eye-catching, it's better to stay in the carriage for safety!" Jiang Hongzhi said in a calm voice.
this?
Jiang Xiaohua paused, stopped and touched her face, feeling that what her elder brother said made sense.
I thought that when I got to town, I would buy some rouge, gouache, etc. and put on makeup for myself.
Dressed like this, with such a face, and such a pretty little beauty, isn't this clearly telling the bandits to force her to become the wife of the village?
Gu San followed Jiang Xiaohua, and when Jiang Xiaohua stopped, he also stopped.
Jiang Xiaohua first led Gu San to the ox cart where the uncle and third uncle were sitting: "Uncle, third uncle, elder brother Gu has something to do in the provincial capital, so he happens to come with us."
Uncle Jiang Xiangwen smiled and nodded: "Okay, there are many people on the road, so it's good to have someone to take care of you! Come up! Let's go together."
Uncle Jiang Xiangwen was talking and looking Gu San up and down. The young man had a very strong body.
I heard he is also very skilled.
Not bad!
The third uncle patted his side, smiled at Gu San and said, "Young man, sit here!"
Gu San nodded to the two of them and sat down firmly.
Gu San is more talkative in front of Xuanyu, but in front of outsiders, he is aloof.
Jiang Xiaohua got on the carriage and sat opposite Jiang Hongzhi. Jiang Hongzhi raised his eyes and looked at his little sister: "You said you would wait half a day after arriving in town before leaving. Why? Are you waiting for someone?"
Jiang Xiaohua nodded: "Brother, we are far away from the provincial capital, and we have to pass by Sandaoling. I heard that there are bandits in Sandaoling. We are the most likely to be targeted by bandits. We went back to the Tingyun Inn in the town.
Boss Wu said that there is a large caravan that is about to leave for the provincial capital. I have already agreed with Boss Wu to ask him to help pull the strings. We will give some money and follow their caravan. It will be safer! But they
It leaves in the afternoon, so we have to wait for half a day."
"Bandits don't rob caravans?" Jiang Hongzhi asked.
Jiang Xiaohua chuckled and said: "Brother, you don't know this, right? Such a large caravan travels all over the country and has many contacts with people in the world. If you know the rules of the road and give enough money, the bandits will naturally not be in trouble.
We can follow them and pass smoothly."
"Who did you hear these things from?" Jiang Hongzhi asked.
"Yang Muxian! He is our new accountant. He has traveled abroad for a long time and knows a lot! I heard these things from him."
…………
Xu Yue hurried back from the trail.
Climb up a slope and look back.
The entire town of Pingyao was engulfed in flames.
That night, countless people became souls under the sword!
When Xu Yue came out of the city, he saw only dead bodies with mutilated limbs along the way, but no survivors.
We are already far away from Pingyao Town, and there is still the smell of burnt corpses in the air.
Xu Yue also saw the Beiyi troops behind him.
The cavalry was silent.
This is a cloth wrapped around the horse's hoof.
They are planning to attack Bali Town at night.
Xu Yue's eyes were heavy. There were at least 100,000 troops here, but the prince only had 30,000 in his hands.
And he is still a new recruit.
No battlefield experience at all.
But the only thing that can be of great use is the five hundred brave men brought by the prince.
When Xu Yue thought about this, he couldn't help but curse!
The prince wants to use the help of the Beiyi people to get rid of the prince!
Xu Yue didn't dare to stay any longer, so he turned around and continued running forward. Half an hour later, he heard someone's voice in front of him.
If you listen carefully, you can also hear the sound of a woman crying.
Xu Yue did not dare to be careless.
Hide your body and touch it quietly.
When he saw it clearly, Xu Yue clenched the sword in his hand angrily!
"brute!"
There is a wide open place in front of you.
A dozen girls were tied together, their clothes were torn into rags and hung on their bodies. Their frightened faces showed despair in their eyes.
There was a circle of Beiyi troops surrounding him.
Some have already begun to take off their clothes.
The cries of the girls sounded so helpless in the wilderness.
Xu Yue counted, there were thirty-five Beiyi sergeants in total.
There were horses nearby, which seemed to be light cavalry. Here they met villagers who had escaped from Pingyao Town.
The others were killed, leaving only these girls.
Xu Yue clenched his sword tightly, gritted his teeth, and rushed forward from his hiding place. Before he could reach the Beiyi Army, he heard the sound of arrows rustling in his ears.
Xu Yue saw the Beiyi troops surrounding the girls all falling down.
Looking up, he saw a group of light armored soldiers running from the path ahead.
The leader is none other than the Crown Prince Ling Wenjing.
Asahikawa has sent a team over to rescue the girls and escort them into Bali Town.
Xu Yue greeted him.
"Master Shizi!"
"What's going on in Pingyao Town?" Ling Wenjing asked coldly.
Xu Yue lowered his head: "If you tell me, Master Shi, Pingyao will be defeated! No one in the defenders will be spared! The Beiyi Army is a hundred miles away and will raid Bali Town tonight!"
Ling Wenjing's face was calm and the expression did not change much: "How many people are there?"
"About a hundred thousand!"
Ling Wenjing was silent for a moment and then asked: "Are you injured?"
Xu Yue shook his head: "Nothing!"
"Go back!"
Ling Wenjing turned the horse's head and headed towards Bali Town.
Gu Jiu threw a horse rein to Xu Yue: "What's wrong? You're scared!"
Xu Yue glared at Gu Jiu, took the reins of the horse, and quickly got on the horse.
It was rare that he did not argue with Gu Jiu and remained silent.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows: "Hey, I'm really scared!"
Xu Yue looked back and said, "Ah Jiu, if the war continues, you and Asahikawa must stay by the prince's side."
"You don't have to say that! You can't be really scared!"
Xu Yue glanced at Gu Jiu: "That's one hundred thousand people!"
"What's wrong with a hundred thousand people? We also have thirty thousand people! Let's guard the fortress! The prince said that as long as the people are employed properly, 80% of the time this place can be defended!" Gu Jiu smiled.
"What are your plans, Prince? Are there any reinforcements?"
Gu Jiu approached Xu Yue on horseback: "What good thing are you thinking of? Reinforcements! Do you think the prince will give us reinforcements?"
"Where's the food and grass?" Xu Yue asked.
Gu Jiu was silent.
Xu Yue looked at Gu Jiu and knew that there was no need to think about food and grass.
Both of them were silent for a while.
Then Gu Jiu smiled again and said: "It's okay, the prince said, let's just hold on to Bali Town!"
Can you hold it?
No reinforcements!
No food and fodder!
The dry food brought by 30,000 people can last for five or six days at most.
After a long silence, Xu Yue finally said: "Once the city is destroyed, you and Asahikawa will take the prince away! You must go!"
After hearing this, Gu Jiu was shocked and did not answer.
