Gu Congyuan seemed to automatically ignore Lu Yao's eyes that hated iron and steel, and only stared at Lord Yin's so-called "good tea", all the way through the wind and dust, his throat seemed to be mixed with sand, and it was uncomfortable, even though he couldn't drink the difference between good and bad, he still pretended to take a sip.

Only then did he feel a little better, and asked lightly: "Lord Yin, how much is the source of cash and the surrounding sentry posts?" ”

The man was an official of Qingyuan's parents, and when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment before he said, "Thirteen." ”

"......," Gu Congyuan raised his eyebrows, "Not a lot." ”

If the prince didn't open his mouth to let Lord Yin get up, he estimated that the quail-like man would not be able to stand up, so Lord Yin straightened up and almost knelt down again.

"Lord Wang, you are a good soldier at marching and fighting, you know what kind of soldiers can afford swords and guns, Qingyuan City used to be called indisputable with the world, and the Rouran people did not dare to invade easily, this is also a mess that has only happened recently." He paused and said with a headache, "...... How did the militia of the sentry post military town carry the swords, guns, swords and halberds of the tiger and wolf division? ”

Gu Congyuan interrupted coldly without waiting for anyone to finish speaking: "Nonsense." ”

Lord Yin lowered his head again and said nothing.

"Qingyuan and Rouran are only separated by a river, looking at a hundred miles, saying that there is no standing army in any city, this king believes in it, but this city alone will never have an army that can handle it." His Royal Highness spoke lightly, but it revealed an indescribable majesty, "Unless the army that was strict back then has been consumed over the years, it is already a bunch of rice buckets for military salaries." ”

Lu Yao listened to the conversation of several people in a daze, even though she didn't know anything about the chaos in the frontier, she could hear the subtlety of it, and she wondered if she was wrong to blame Gu Congyuan.

"There is a good saying," the tea in the teacup reflected the man's indifferent eyebrows, "the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked." ”

"Lord Wang!" Lord Yin's face was as pale as earth, and he quickly knelt down and said, "Even if you lend ten guts to the lower officials, the lower officials will not dare to do such a thing!" ”

Gu Ziyan secretly squinted at the leisurely King Cong, and couldn't help but sigh that this person sang brilliantly with a red face, Gu Congyuan's calm surface concealed a murderous intention, and for many years, everyone around him did not dare to do anything to him easily.

…… This is also one of the reasons why he is jealous of King Cong.

"That Rouran man came to the door, as the city lord, why did you do nothing?" Lu Yao couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"It's a long story, I thought that the Rouran people were fierce and aggressive, but they were just a group of reckless men who liked to fight hard with people." There was a hint of helplessness in Lord Yin's eyes, "But it seems that there has been a sudden exchange of blood between their tribes, and they are so smart from top to bottom that they actually played with us and saluted first and then soldiers." ”

Lu Yao felt more and more that he was not suitable to sit in this room, and said in confusion: "How can you salute first and then soldier?" ”

"In the name of trade exchanges, they sent merchants into Qingyuan City to trade, and at first our people kept a close eye on them, for fear that they had bad intentions." After a pause, Lord Yin rubbed his face, "But later, it was indeed very convenient for you to come and go, so we relaxed our vigilance......"

"As time went on, their demands became more and more excessive, and they even connived at the caravan and the Rouran soldiers to openly rob the people's daughters in Qingyuan.

After listening to Lord Yin, Lu Yao understood the ins and outs, and couldn't help but snort: "Shameless." ”

Gu Congyuan gradually lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"Rouran people are really a group of bedbugs that can't support the wall in the mud, they really have such intelligence, but they don't know what to do

Exhibiting agriculture, but I have come to Tiansheng to entangle. Gu Ziyan scolded a few words indignantly.

The attendants present followed in a chaotic manner.

After a long time, everyone's anger gradually died down, and Gu Congyuan said coldly: "It's true to salute first and then soldier, and it's also true that you, the city lord, are stupid and cowardly." ”

It is also true that when the Rouran people rushed into the city to loot, Lord Yin can be said to run faster than a rabbit, as the city lord, but like ordinary people, he fled with his wife and children.

"Qingyuan is just a city lord like you, you also fled, the soldiers are like headless flies, their limbs are not diligent, and now they can't find the backbone." Gu Congyuan looked at the man coldly, "Lord Yin really opened the eyes of this king." ”

The man blushed at what King Cong said, and bowed his head in shame.

Seeing this, Gu Ziyan frowned and said, "Second brother, Lord Yin is already one of the few officials here, you are so aggressive, how can he be good?" ”

"Besides, Lord Yin is also one of the people of this Lili, how can he not be afraid when he sees the army of tigers and wolves?" He said it with a blushing face and a heartbeat.

"The good words have made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say everything," Lu Yao finally couldn't help choking, "You also know that he is the only magistrate?" It is sad that those who enter the government do not seek their own politics. ”

Gu Ziyan glanced at Lu Yao deeply, his emotions were complicated, and he didn't know whether it was dissatisfaction or something else, they were so entangled that he couldn't speak.

He smiled gently: "Miss Lu has a high opinion?" ”

"Your Highness is so clever that I don't say it." Lu Yao didn't overdo it unhappily.

Lord Yin was very insignificant beside several nobles with a halo, so he almost stuffed himself into the crack of the ground, accompanied everyone through the morning, and took them to the outpost in the warm hour of the afternoon.

As soon as Lord Yin arrived at the outpost, he was shocked, and saw that the soldiers of the Tianshu Battalion and the Xuanji Battalion were facing Rouran neatly, with their backs to Qingyuan, and the sharp spears in their hands refracted the light, almost blinding his eyes.

"This ......" he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and after he reacted, he was very excited to the two of them, "The two highnesses acted as fast as the wind, and immediately arranged troops to protect me Qingyuan, the lower officials are really moved, I have a successor to Tiansheng!" ”

Lu Yao shook his head amusedly, and said, "The purpose of this trip is to protect Qingyuan, why should Lord Yin ......?"

Before she finished speaking, she saw a few Rouran soldiers coming on horseback not far away, probably crossing the river early and wandering around Qingyuan.

The few Rouran soldiers who walked also noticed that something was wrong, there seemed to be a lot of people on the women's wall today, and the miscellaneous fish soldiers who were scared when they saw them on weekdays didn't know where they went, and now they are ten steps and one post, majestic and solemn.

It was as if they would be pierced by ten thousand arrows if they took one step further.

The soldiers led by "Hu ......" took the lead in reining in their horses, signaling the few soldiers behind them not to move forward, and said in a soft and ancient language, "Let's see what the situation is first." ”

Gu Cong stared at this group of miscellaneous soldiers from afar, silent, his eyes full of contempt and arrogance.

Lord Yin wanted to run away when she saw Rouranren, but she was stopped by Lu Yao as soon as she took a step, and she smiled and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"I ...... I wandered around. The man glanced at the immobile King Cong and the crown prince, and stood back in fear.

Those few Rouran people didn't know what they were saying, they could hear it from afar, just listening to it

Without reducing the volume, Lu Yao could imagine what this group of creeps were arrogant like on weekdays.

A small soldier came from afar on a horse, and it seemed that he had fallen behind and followed, but when he saw the handsome flag flying in the air, his face turned pale.

The dragon flag of the Tiansheng Dynasty fluttered in the wind, hunting in the cold wind, and the dragon on it seemed to be about to fly down.

Standing in the middle of the female wall, there is also the terrifying living Hades King Gu Congyuan, who is staring at them without blinking at the moment, and there is no sadness or joy on his handsome face.

"Yes...... It's King Cong! The soldier suddenly screamed in a dumb voice.

Several Rouran soldiers' faces changed, as if they had finally reacted, and said in a panic: "You said that is King Cong?" Gu Congyuan, who led 100 people to encircle and suppress southern Xinjiang!? ”

Lord Yin saw that this fart and urine person was finally not himself, and suddenly had confidence, stood behind Gu Congyuan and straightened his waist, and said to those people: "If you don't want to die, go back and report to your general, saying that King Cong and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have arrived, if you are no longer shameless, don't blame us for being polite!" ”

"......" Lu Yao thought that this city lord still had two faces, and raised his eyebrows, "You weren't like that just now. ”

Lord Yin raised his chin proudly and said, "Isn't this where His Highness is here?" ”

Several Rouran soldiers were suddenly distracted, and they quickly turned their horses' heads and rushed back.

Gu Congyuan didn't give them a chance to escape, he took the longbow from the soldiers on the side, and simply filled it directly, and shot out three arrows in a row, and between the lightning and flint, the three people who fell behind died!

The sentinels defending the city couldn't help but gasp and secretly exclaimed, and even Lord Yin followed suit.

It was the first time that Lu Yao had witnessed Gu Congyuan's domineering methods, and for a while, the deer collided.

Gu Congyuan deliberately showed off his skills, and said with a bit of flattery: "Everyone else should praise it, what does Lu Keqing say?" ”

She was facing the man's smiling gaze, her face was a little shy, she coughed twice and turned her head, "...... The prince is really outstanding in martial arts, and he is one against ten. ”

When the prince saw that everyone's stars were holding the moon and stammering Gu Congyuan, his heart swelled with sourness.

Even the people of Rouran who are far away in the north know Gu Congyuan's deeds of leveling southern Xinjiang back then...... He regretted that he had given up this opportunity to others.

So he said sourly: "What do you do with that one Rouran soldier?" Why didn't the second brother kill them directly. ”

"Tell the news." Gu Cong didn't raise his eyes from afar.

"I'm curious." Gu Ziyan said with a smile.

Everyone looked at it in confusion.

The man said softly: "Why is this Rouran soldier frightened when he sees the second brother, of course, I know that it has something to do with the second brother's exploits, but he is so frightened that his face is bloodless, could it be because King Cong's appearance is too fierce and vicious, which is daunting?" ”

In short, it's too ugly.

However, how handsome Gu Congyuan is, everyone can see it, and the prince's words that seem like a joke but not a joke are embarrassing.

At this moment, Lord Yin, who was still excited, said: "His Royal Highness King Cong is very handsome, if I am a woman, I will marry His Royal Highness II when I die!" ”
