After a night of chaotic fighting, Yuyang finally calmed down. The exhausted defenders finally had time to rest, and the panicked people went back to sleep.

Ye Shenyu also stayed in the house arranged by Gao Wenbin, and Xie Qun and Ye Xuan were placed in the room next to her.

Ye Xuan naturally had nothing to worry about, and when the child saw that there was a clean and soft quilt cover, he threw himself on the bed regardless of the ground.

Then he was held down by Ye Shenyu and thrown into the hot water bucket. Ye Shenyu has been crawling in the mission world for a long time, and he has no cleanliness habits, but he really can't stand Ye Xuan's mud.

It's really too troublesome to raise a child, Ye Shenyu thought. However, looking at Ye Xuan, who was constantly fluttering in the bucket, a distant memory suddenly appeared in her mind.

It was also a child as big as Ye Xuan, fluttering in groups in the river, looking at her from a distance and starting to call Senior Sister.

Ye Shenyu lowered her eyes slightly, this was really a memory that was quite a long time ago, so long that she thought she would never remember it again.

The vague memory passed in a flash, and Ye Shenyu tilted his head slightly, looking at the gaze that had been staring at him. Xie Qun was clutching the door frame, staring at her without blinking.

Ye Shenyu looked at him and said, "You want to wash it too?" ”

Xie Qun was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and said, "I will wash it myself." ”

Ye Shenyu didn't care about him anymore, and went out to go back to his room. When he walked to the door, Xie Qun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Why are you arresting me?" "If you can't get used to him using human life as a stepping stone, just kill him or throw him into the Xingjia army.

But she didn't kill him, she didn't let him go, but took him with her, more like saving his life—if he was left where he was, he would also be chased and cut down by the Xingjia army on the street.

But what's the use of holding him?

The girl stopped, but did not answer.

It was almost expected silence, and Xie Qun was a little disappointed, but he couldn't help but think about it. She was going to kill him, but the knife was already on his neck, so why did she let him go again?

Because he was a child, did he think of her brother?

With her back to Xie Qun, Ye Shenyu, who seemed to be cold but was actually contemplative: she didn't seem to have figured out what to do with Xie Qun. After finding out that it was the object of the task, he just stayed.

Forget it, Ye Shenyu habitually gave up thinking and raised it with Ye Xuan first.

Xie Qun didn't wait for an answer for a long time, his expression fell silent, and he nodded: "I know." ”

Ye Shenyu glanced back at him lightly and walked away. If you know, you don't need to say it, right?

System: [??? 】

[Don't you ask him what he knows?] 】

Ye Shenyu: [Isn't it just easy? 】

System: [......] The expression of the task object is obviously something else made up in his brain, right?

After Ye Shenyu left, Xie Qun leaned against the door frame, coldly glanced at Ye Xuan, who was playing in the bucket, and went to boil hot water to wash himself after a while.

The night passed, and the next day, when the sun was three poles, there was a sound outside. After a while, the courtyard where Ye Shenyu lived began to make noise.

Ye Shenyu, who had meditated all night, slowly opened his eyes, pulled out a new dress from the crack in the space amid the complaints of the system, changed into it, washed his face and rinsed his mouth.

When everything was done, there was a knock on the door.

Ye Shenyu walked over and opened the door, and saw that Gu Zhi had already changed his clothes, followed by Gao Wenbin and a few people who looked like servants.

Gu Zhi saluted her and said respectfully, "Lord Goddess, breakfast has been prepared." After you and the two little sons have used it, we will follow you and set off from Huainan. ”

Ye Shenyu nodded, and then realized that something was wrong: "I'm waiting?" ”

Gu Zhi still lowered his head and looked very humble: "Yes, the five thousand defenders and more than 20,000 people in Yuyang County are willing to follow the goddess to Huainan." ”

Ye Shenyu looked at him for a while, then looked sideways at Gao Wenbin on the side: "I want a groom is enough." "What does she want so many people for? If you walk slowly, you can't survive.

Ye Shenyu has a very clear understanding of herself, and raising two children is already the biggest trouble she can bear.

Gao Wenbin was very embarrassed, of course he knew that this was forcibly relying on Ye Shenyu. But......

Gu Zhi's words last night came to his ears again: "The Xingjia army is defeated, Xinghua is dead, and it can deter the surrounding forces." But this deterrence is only temporary, and soon someone will test it again, and our true strength will soon be exposed. It's a good idea to turn to other forces, but who wants to take on so many refugees? The people of Yuyang can't eat, who wants to care about them? ”

"Only by following Miss Ye can there be a glimmer of hope."

Of course, he himself didn't care, the soldier should have died on the battlefield, and the horse leather was wrapped in corpses. But what should I do with so many people in Yuyang? What the rebels lacked most was food and grass, and where would they distribute food to feed these people.

Gao Wenbin gritted his teeth and said with a red face: "There are many bandits all the way to Huainan, we can escort the goddess over." ”

Ye Shenyu looked at him and said slowly: "I don't seem to have said it......" She took her eyes off Gao Wenbin and fell on Gu Zhi.

Obviously there was no killing intent, but Gu Zhi felt that his body was like a thousand pounds, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

The girl's voice was cold and steady: "I'm not a good person. ”

Gu Zhi's right shoulder sank, and the long knife came out of its sheath and rested firmly on his neck. I don't know if it's because of fear, or because the knife light refracted by the sun is too dazzling, Gu Zhi felt dizzy for a while, and his hands and feet trembled.

Even so, he had maintained a bowing posture and did not move, and the words in his mouth were clear and powerful: "Five thousand defenders and more than 20,000 people in Yuyang County are willing to follow the goddess." ”

He stayed in Yuyang, half because Gao Wenbin had the intention to persuade his friends to join the Ming Lord, and half to avoid the disaster. Compared with the real literati, he can be called greedy for life and afraid of death, and never thought of saving the people and refugees in Yuyang. In troubled times, it is the best policy to be able to protect oneself wisely.

However, Gu Zhi closed his eyes, if he really saw what happened to these displaced people, how could he only care about protecting himself?

"Gu Zhi!" Gao Wenbin shouted eagerly, and then said to Ye Shenyu, "Miss Ye, we shouldn't ......"

Ye Shenyu didn't listen to what he said, but quietly looked at the young man under his knife. His back was straight, seemingly fearless, but his hands and feet trembled slightly, and his heart beat sharply.

Obviously scared to death, it was easy to give in before, but now he refuses to let go of the way.

Ye Shenyu's expression remained unchanged, and his wrist was gently pressed down.

The blade sliced through the skin, and the young man's body trembled, his heartbeat almost static.

At this time, there was a chaotic sound coming from the courtyard gate.
