Gu Qian was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to accept Zheng Zhen's kindness.

was thinking about how to reply, but saw Gu Xiaojiu trotting all the way back.

"My lord, I heard that the governor went to the northwest of the city to direct the encirclement and suppression of the rebels, and he was not in the yamen. Gu Xiaojiu panted.

Gu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"Lord Gu, you should go to the General's Mansion with the little one, the Governor has not lived in the Yamen since the rebellion, he has been living in the General's Mansion recently, if you want to see him, it is more convenient to be in the General's Mansion. Zheng Shan smiled with a smile.

Gu Qian was a little embarrassed, just now he was still suspecting that people had ulterior motives, but now he was slapped in the face slightly, he laughed, and said to Zheng Shan, "In this case, please ask Steward Zheng to lead the way." ”

Seeing that Gu Qian behaved quite simply, Zheng Shan didn't say anything, he led Gu Qian and Gu Tai to the General's Mansion in front, and also instructed Zheng Xiaoliu to take Gu Xiaojiu to the small courtyard where he temporarily lived to pick up his luggage.

Gu Qian's entry into the city this time was purely driven to the shelves, and Vice General Liu, who led the vanguard army, admired Qi Yuanjing's ability very much, and heard that Gu Qian and Qi Yuanjing were good friends, and as soon as he entered the city, he let him take care of himself, which dragged down the itinerary of the vanguard army.

Gu Qian knew that the other party was looking for himself to go under the stairs, so he took Gu Tai and Gu Xiaojiu with him, but before he could live in the temporarily found courtyard, he was taken into the General's Mansion by Steward Zheng, which could be regarded as bad luck. The General's Mansion is the base camp of the official army against the rebels, and Gu Qian entered here, which can be regarded as doing work for the logistics of the official army, and it cannot be regarded as escaping.

Before entering the general's mansion, I saw a team of guards patrolling, even if it was Steward Zheng, he had to check his waist card when entering and exiting the gate, and it seemed that the situation in the city was still not very good.

Because he knew that his situation was a little delicate, Gu Qian and his party entered the General's Mansion in a low-key manner.

There was still a war in the city, although most of the area had been cleared, but the encirclement and suppression of the rebels in the northwest of the city had entered a white-hot level, Gu Qian did not go out, but moved a ladder and climbed to the roof, looking northwest.

At this time, it was almost dusk, in addition to the sound of shouting and killing in the northwest of the city, there was billowing smoke, Gu Qian had just arrived, because there was no channel for news transmission, so he didn't know how far the war was going.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the sky-high firelight lit up in the night sky, Gu Qian's heart was in his throat, but don't let the gate of the North City be broken, then there will be no place to die.

Fortunately, Lord Gu's luck has always been good, and after waiting for a night, the good news came, and the rebels led by Li Jing were driven to the Yongkang Building in the north of the city, and were surrounded by the officials and burned alive.

That picture must be very cruel, but Gu Yushi, who had experienced the rebels' night attack on the camp and was almost hacked to death, had lost his sympathy, good and evil were never separated, if the rebels were victorious, then what awaited the people □□of the Jing Dynasty was a naked massacre. So, he is still very happy with this result.

"The governor is back to his house!" With a long message, Xu Yanlin, who had been busy all night, returned to the general's mansion under the escort of the officials and soldiers.

Governor Xu has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, after a night of hard work, his face is very tired, and when he sees the officials lined up to welcome him, he only bows slightly, and then goes to the living room surrounded by his cronies.

Gu Qian had just arrived, and he came with Zhang Yuan's army, so he was not welcomed, and seeing that Zhang Tiancheng followed Governor Xu away, he could only smile wryly and silently drop out of the team.

Although it is not taken seriously, fortunately, Gu Qian has become proficient in the business of wall grass, the leader of the rebels has been burned to death, and Li Yingwaihe's plan to open the city gate to welcome the little prince has been ruined, as long as Datong City is safe, what does it matter if it is ignored.

Gu Qian held his hands, and after listening to Xu Yanlin's account of the encirclement and suppression of the rebels last night, he dispersed, he is now a marginal figure, and he has no chance to contact more □□, if he wants to fully grasp the situation in Datong City, I am afraid that he will have to go through Lu Ji.

However, Lu Qianhu has lost his trace since he entered the city, and Gu Qian doesn't know where he is now.

In the next few days, the situation in Datong City further deteriorated, in order to resist the attack of the little prince's department, Lord Zhang Yuanzhang personally led the army into the city, with the support of the Beijing army, the once urgent Beicheng City Gate once again passed the crisis, Gu Qian as a speech official, although he also followed over there, but there was no chance to get close, in order to prevent the remnants of the rebels from mixing, the inventory outside the North City Gate was extremely strict, and it was possible to be caught as a spy if he was not careful.

Datong City was temporarily defended, but the situation in the city was a little delicate, Zhang Yuan was originally an official of the Yan faction, and he strongly advocated force to suppress it, he set fire to poisonous weeds, and led ice to irrigate the city, every move can be called poisonous, and it is incompatible with the Xu faction who advocates Huairou. Now Emperor Jiahe stopped his bad idea of flooding Datong and asked him to assist Zheng Zhen and others in quelling the rebellion, which undoubtedly slapped him in the face.

The discord between the two factions can be seen from the fact that Governor Xu took refuge in the General's Mansion, while Zhang Yuan occupied the governor's yamen. Fortunately, the two factions fought and finally knew the severity, and did not slack off the city defense of Datong City because of the battle between the two sides.

"My lord, General Qi sent a message. Gu Qian had just come back from outside when he saw Gu Tai hurrying over.

"Oh? What did he say?"

"General Qi said that he had just received an order and was about to lead his troops to Yingzhou to help, so he sent someone to say goodbye to you. ”

"Brother Qi is leaving," Gu Qian's brows furrowed, and he said to Gu Tai, "Go and call a few of our own soldiers who are escorting us, and let them go out of the city immediately and follow General Qi to pull out." ”

"Your safety, my lord, ......"

"I'm in the city, what's the danger?" Gu Qian glared at him and said, "Those guys should have sent Brother Qi back a long time ago, and I don't know what danger I will encounter when I go to Yingzhou this time, and the more old soldiers there are, the more safe Brother Qi will be." What's more, those pro-soldiers were originally lent to him by Qi Yuanjing, and there was no reason to take advantage of them.

"Okay, I'll arrange it. Gu Tai turned around and went.

Gu Qian looked up at the gray sky, and couldn't help sighing, he had only heard that traces of Tatar cavalry had been found in Yingzhou, Shuozhou and other places, but now that the war in Datong was in full swing, Qi Yuanjing was urgently transferred, which shows that the situation in Yingzhou and other places is not optimistic.

The situation was as Gu Qian expected, the little prince's department saw that Datong could not be attacked for a long time, leaving a vanguard army to feign to attack the city, and the rest of the troops plundered Yingzhou, Shuozhou, Hunyuan and other places respectively.

The little prince had some troops, and the pressure on Datong dropped sharply, and under the planning of Zheng Zhen and others, there was gradually room for counterattacks.

After the retreat, Datong City was jubilant, experienced the rebellion of the rebels, and the little prince and the soldiers pressed the border, Datong City has not heard the laughter for several months, the residents of Datong City have been tested by the border disaster for a long time, even if some families were burned down the house, some people lost their relatives, but wiped away the blood and tears, and had to live the life.

The life of the common people has calmed down, but the life of the officials is not very easy, especially in this counterinsurgency, there are frequent tricks Zhang Yuan and Yin Dayong, one was demoted and the other was reprimanded, which can be regarded as an explanation to the innocent people of Datong.

After the war disaster was settled, Gu Qian's life gradually stabilized, he moved out of the general's mansion, found a small courtyard to live in, before Zhang Yuan rejected his suggestion that it was not suitable to flood Datong, and his house arrest was neglected several times, and finally played to the heavens, and contributed a lot to the Xu faction's reversal movement, so Governor Xu changed his opinion of him, and he also took care of him on weekdays.

In this way, in addition to the discomfort of climate and diet, Gu Qian's life in Datong is not sad.

It's just that, since it is a crossing, it is destined not to live a peaceful life, he has just had breakfast on this day, and is about to go out, as soon as he steps out of his front foot, he is immediately startled.

"Who are you?"

Outside the door, there stood a man wearing a hat and a black suit, he raised the brim of his hat slightly, and glanced at Gu Qian coldly, Gu Qian was stunned, and then withered, "Senior brother?"

"Hmm, you want to go out?" Senior Brother Lu handed the reins in his hand to his subordinates, poked Gu Qian with his fingers, and poked him back into the door.

"It's fine, but where did the senior brother come from? Why are you dressed like this?" Aren't the Jinyi guards all wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists?

"Let's go inside. Lu Ji ignored him and walked inside, and as he walked, he instructed Gu Tai, who was coming over, to prepare some food.

Gu Tai knew his identity, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly turned around and went to the kitchen.

Gu Qian followed him step by step, and it was not until he entered the living room that he sat down as a guest and host.

"Where is Senior Brother from?" At this time, Lu Ji had already taken off his hat, he had always been outstanding, but at this moment, he could not hide the wind and frost between his eyebrows and eyes.

"Outside the plug. Lu Ji didn't hide it from him, and responded lightly.

"Is that going back to Beijing?" Gu Qian asked curtly, although he had always been cheeky, he was still a little helpless in the face of Lu Ji.

"If I don't go back to Beijing, I still have something to do," Lu Ji took a sip of hot tea and said in a low voice, "I'm going out of the city in two days, and I'll rest here for two days for the time being, don't make a noise." ”

"Okay," Gu Qian saw the tiredness on his face, and said with concern, "Senior brother, don't worry, I only have Gu Tai and Gu Xiaojiu here, and I won't reveal Senior Brother's whereabouts." 166 Reading Network
