Chu Yi accepted Cheng Xiangwu's gift, stepped forward to help Cheng Xiangwu up, patted Cheng Xiangwu on the shoulder and said: "I know that General Cheng will not disappoint me and your majesty."
At this moment, a soldier trotted over and said respectfully: "Uncle, there is someone outside asking to see you. Also with him is Lin Zhennan, the head of the Fuwei Escort Bureau!"
Cheng Xiangwu was slightly startled, and glanced at Chu Yi subconsciously. Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "Since someone has come to ask for a meeting, General Cheng might as well meet him."
Cheng Xiangwu took a deep breath and said to the soldiers: "Bring them here!"
Outside the Fuwei Escort Bureau, thousands of soldiers were standing outside. After some training by Xiang Wu, at least the formations were neatly arranged. In addition, they were all young and strong, and they looked quite mighty.
Gu Wu has also fought on the sea, and has seen many islands where fish and dragons are mixed. He has even seen the soldiers of the Fuzhou Guard. In Gu Wu's opinion, all of the soldiers of the Guard are old, weak, sick and disabled. There are hundreds of servants of the Gu family.
It can kill thousands of people in the entire guardhouse and flee in panic.
But when he saw the soldiers coming forward, even Gu Wu, who had seen many ferocious pirates, couldn't help but look at him sideways.
Although these soldiers have never seen blood, they have a bit more military strength that the pirates don't have. This kind of discipline is definitely not something that the pirates can possess.
The scariest thing about an army is that a large army forms a formation and has strict military discipline. Blood that has never been seen can be obtained through fighting on the battlefield. However, if a large army does not even have the most basic military discipline, it will be no different from a bandit.
Just as Gu Wu was looking at the soldiers, the soldiers came out and said to Gu Bing and Lin Zhennan: "Gu Bing and Lin Zhennan, you guys, I'm here to invite you!"
Gu Bing smiled and nodded, and said to Gu Wuda who was supporting Lin Zhennan: "Third brother, support Mr. Lin, let's go see Uncle Dingwu."
Walking into the courtyard, Lin Zhennan saw a burly figure standing there, it was Dingwu Bocheng Xiangwu whom he had seen before.
Seeing Cheng Xiangwu, Lin Zhennan couldn't help but think of his son Lin Pingzhi. He couldn't help but his eyes were sore, and he stepped forward and bowed to Cheng Xiangwu: "Lin Zhennan has met Uncle Dingwu."
At this moment, Gu Bing and Gu Wu also bowed to Cheng Xiangwu. "Gu Bing and Gu Wu, ordinary people, pay their respects to Uncle Dingwu."
When Gu Bing, Gu Wu and Lin Zhennan walked in, Cheng Xiangwu saw the two of them and was slightly startled. Apparently he did not expect that the head of the Gu family would come to see him.
You must know that even when he was stationed outside the city, the Gu family only sent people to deliver gifts, but the head of the Gu family, Gu Bing, did not go to see him.
If he hadn't had to wait and see with Chu Yi before, this was the first time he had met Gu Bing and Gu Wu, the two people in charge of the Gu family.
Cheng Xiangwu stepped forward and helped Lin Zhennan up, then his eyes fell on Gu Bing and Gu Wu. He stared at them for a while, but it made Gu Bing and Gu Wu feel a little nervous.
At this moment, Cheng Xiangwu said: "If I remember correctly, Gu Bing, you are the head of the Gu family, known as Gu Bancheng."
Gu Bing's body trembled slightly, and he quickly lowered his head and said: "The Gu family would never dare to be called half the city. They are all rumors spread by ignorant people."
Waving his hand, Cheng Xiangwu said: "Haha, I just said it casually. You two should also get up."
The lordship of an army and the dignity of an uncle put great pressure on Gu Bing and Gu Wu. Even though they could be regarded as lawless people, as long as they had no thoughts of rebellion in their hearts, they would not be able to face the people who had a natural righteous name.
The court officials who are divided will naturally feel psychologically inferior.
Gu Bing and Gu Wu breathed a sigh of relief and stood up slowly. They heard Gu Bing cupping his hands towards Uncle Dingwu and saying, "Common people are here. One of them is escorting Mr. Lin's bodyguard, and the other is here."
Send the murderer of my uncle's bodyguard."
Cheng Xiangwu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, it seems that the thief really escaped into the Gu family manor."
Just hearing what Cheng Xiangwu said, Gu Bing and Gu Wu knew that Yu Canghai and the others had been discovered by Cheng Xiangwu and others long ago when they escaped into the Gu family manor.
Gu Bing felt a chill in his heart and said with great respect: "Reply to my uncle, that thief broke into my Gu family, but he killed more than ten people in my Gu family. Thanks to my Gu family's servants fighting to the death, I was able to capture the thief. Now,
The thief is outside."
Cheng Xiangwu nodded slightly, glanced at Gu Bing, and heard Cheng Xiangwu slowly say: "Your Gu family is quite well-behaved. Do you know that I am here to wait for your Gu family's reaction? I am not afraid to tell you, if
But if I don’t see your Gu family sending the thieves here today, I will lead a large army to surround your Gu family in the evening. At that time, your Gu family will be colluding with the thieves and assassinating the imperial officials, which is an unpardonable crime..."
Gu Bing's body trembled slightly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, he looked at Cheng Xiangwu in astonishment, and Cheng Xiangwu looked at each other, Gu Bing's heart tightened, because from Cheng Xiangwu's eyes, Gu Bing saw a bit of awe-inspiring murderous intent, that is to say
Cheng Xiangwu was not joking, and it was impossible for an uncle in charge of an army to joke with them about such things.
In fact, think about it, Yu Canghai and the others have been chased by the army. Normally, Yu Canghai fled into the Gu family manor, and the army should not have reacted at all. Now Gu Bing realized that it was not that the army did not respond, but that Cheng Xiangwu was waiting.
They take care of their families to make choices.
If the Gu family chooses to kill Yu Canghai or hide it, then the disaster that awaits the Gu family will be catastrophic. At this moment, even Gu Bing, who has everything in mind, can't help but sweat break out on his back.
According to what Cheng Xiangwu said, the Gu family was really on the verge of life and death. Fortunately, he made the right choice. Otherwise, Cheng Xiangwu would have really led his army into the Gu family, and the Gu family would have no room to resist.
Gu Wu on the side lowered his head, his eyes full of horror. Previously he was conflicted with his eldest brother's choice, but now Gu Wu realized how wise his eldest brother's decision was.
The Gu family is indeed true to their word in Fuzhou City, and even the government has to give them some respect, but that is only in front of civilian officials.
But the man in front of him is the Earl of the Ming Dynasty who is in charge of thousands of troops. I dare not say that there are more. Thousands of troops really rushed into the Gu family. Even if the Gu family has many servants who are not afraid of death, it is absolutely impossible for them to fight like this.
There are so many soldiers and horses.
It can be said that Gu Bing's decision brought the Gu family back from the edge of life and death. It also made Gu Wu truly feel that the Ming court was not as weak and bully as he imagined.
Perhaps these pastoral officials and the Gu family were not afraid, but once the Ming Dynasty sent out its army, the seemingly powerful Gu family was actually just a small boat, and any wind or wave could destroy the Gu family's boat.
Chu Yi, who was standing not far away, chuckled and said, "Okay, Uncle Dingwu, don't scare the Gu family master!"
When Chu Yi spoke, Cheng Xiangwu respectfully said to Chu Yi: "I will not dare."
Gu Bing was shocked. After he came in, most of Gu Bing's attention was on Cheng Xiangwu. As for Chu Yi and the others, he just glanced at them. Although he was curious about the identity of the other party, even Gu Bing would never have thought of it in his dreams.
Chu Yi and their identities.
So Gu Bing really didn't care about Chu Yi and the others. However, when Chu Yi opened his mouth and looked at Cheng Xiangwu's reaction, Gu Bing, even a fool, reacted immediately.
He was startled, and when he stared at Chu Yi again, a guess suddenly came into his mind. He looked at Chu Yi carefully, especially when he saw Chu Yi wearing a python suit.
He said with great respect: "Gu Bing, a common man, is blind and ignorant. He didn't know that General Manager Chu was in front of him. Please forgive me, General Manager."
Chu Yi glanced at Gu Bing indifferently and said: "The governor has also heard of the name of the head of the Gu family. When I meet him today, the name Gu Bancheng is really well-deserved."
For ordinary people, Gu Bancheng's name is the glory of the Gu family, but for people like Cheng Xiangwu and Chu Yi, for the Gu family, it is like a life-threatening talisman.
Gu Bing, who was kneeling on the ground, panicked and said: "The Gu family is just doing business with peace of mind and never dares to have any delusions. Half of the city is called this because of the ignorance of the people. Please take a closer look, sir!"
Gu Wu was so frightened that he lay on the ground and did not dare to speak nonsense.
With his hands behind his back, Chu Yi said condescendingly: "Oh, could it be that the folk rumors are all false?"
Gu Bing had calmed down a little now. He could feel that Chu Yi didn't seem to have much ill will towards him. Gu Bing's mind was spinning rapidly after he regained his clarity. Gu Bing soon grasped something.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Bing raised his head and said to Chu Yi: "My Gu family is willing to dedicate all their wealth to serve the governor."
Cao Shaoqin sneered and said with a bit of disdain: "Although the Gu family has a fortune of millions, how can they get into the eyes of the governor? You Gu family also want to do your best for the governor, first think about what you have for the governor.
What's the use?"
Although Cao Shaoqin said something unpleasant and even looked down upon the Gu family, Gu Bing was not angry at all, but said calmly: "Although Gu is not talented, he also knows that the governor has the idea of opening up the sea. I
The Gu family have been maritime merchants for generations, and although they do not know everything about the sea, they are very clear about it. Regarding matters at sea, I, the Gu family, think that I can be the lackey of the governor."
As he said this, Gu Bing bowed to the end and fell to the ground, waiting for Chu Yi to make a decision on the future fate of their Gu family.
It can be said that there are thousands of members of the Gu family, whether they are alive or dead, prosperous or destroyed, it all depends on Chu Yi's thoughts.
Chu Yi just looked at Gu Bing, who was kneeling on the ground, with a dull look that made it impossible to guess what he was thinking. However, the two brothers Gu Bing and Gu Wu had not seen each other for a long time, and Chu Yi's reaction was heart-breaking.
Like an abyss.
