"Prince Fu Zheng is the head of the ministers, the commander of the Nine Gates, with a heavy army in his hands, and the most powerful prince in the Fei Luo family. General Yin Zongtang is a foreign minister, but he just brought tens of thousands of Jingnan troops, and it is not easy to bring down Prince Fu Zong, so it is better to cause less trouble. Feng Jiaoer persuaded Gong Changyu.

"All the soldiers I worked so hard to bring were all taken away by that old guy, how could I go to Baocheng Mansion to participate in the war? I really want to go to Hongjiang and chop up the talisman! Gong Chang was furious.

"Brother Changyu, Prince Fu is now leading more than 20,000 troops, all of whom are elite divisions, you can't see other figures, don't brag." Ran Jiufeng smiled.

"I'm so sad that you can laugh at it. Originally, I planned to go back to Sidu to see after this battle, but it seems impossible. Alas, plans are better than changes. Gong Changyu sighed.

"How far is Hongjiang Ancient Town from Laojie Town?" Feng Jiao'er asked.

"It should be more than 1,000 miles, I've been there once, and I'm not familiar with it." Gong Changyu replied, "I was overshadowed by Prince Fu, what should I do?" ”

"If you lose your horse, you don't know what is good or bad. We might as well go home and recruit an army of our own, so that Prince Fu will no longer be able to recruit our team in the name of the imperial court." Feng Jiao'er smiled slightly.

"That's a good idea, but I don't have any money in my hand, so where can I get muskets and cannons?" Gong Changyu nodded.

"There are more than 3,000 taels of silver on the grain cart, what are you worried about?" Feng Jiao'er looked at the sacks containing silver.

"These silver are all bets placed by General Yin Zongtang, borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and they can't be used casually." Gong Changyu waved his hand.

"It's all burning eyebrows, and if you use it, you won't care so much." Feng Jiao'er said anxiously.

"In case Shi Xianda defeats the Jingnan army, what compensation will I pay to those soldiers who bet?" Gong Changyu was worried.

"Uncle, let me do the math for you, even if they all bet on the victory of Shi Xianda's army, if they pay all the compensation, you have to pay sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver. This is not a small amount...... Gong Sheng's mind turned quickly, "What is the profit of Mao Sheng Xiang Qian Zhuang in a year?" ”

"It seems to be more than 300,000 taels, right?" Gong Changyu stretched out three fingers.

"And what are you afraid of?" Gong Sheng said with a smile.

"The problem is that I am not a young owner in Maoshengxiang Qianzhuang......" Gong Changyu drooped his head, looking so helpless, "If those people who bet take the voucher to the silver number to ask for silver, and my aunt knows about it, I can't be angry." ”

"If a person has no foresight, he must have near-term worries. Now we have to think about the worst or the worst, hoping that God will bless Shi Xianda and be defeated. Gong Sheng folded his hands and prayed to the sky, "God, open your eyes, take pity on my Uncle Changyu." ”

"Talking about the old nephew, pray that God will have a fart. I'm not going to fall to the point of exhaustion, with a few of you following me, it's not impossible for the salted fish to turn over. Gong Changyu jumped on the grain truck, "Let's go, go to Yingyang Mansion!" ”

"Brother Changyu, Yingyang is in the south of Jingnan County, and the ancient city of Hongjiang is in the west, isn't it the opposite of what we can do when we go to Yingyang?" Ran Jiufeng asked.

"There is no point in going to the ancient city of Hongjiang, and besides, we can't catch up with Jiang Changyi and them, so we have to make this decision." Gong Changyu said, "If you go to the ancient city of Hongjiang, you will fall for Prince Fu's tricks." I went south, so I didn't disobey the holy decree, and even if I arrived at Baocheng Mansion alone, I still acted in accordance with the holy decree and the documents of the military department. ”

"Changyu, you have finally grown wise, you have learned wisely, and this military division is the first to support your idea." Feng Jiao'er couldn't help but applaud a few times.

"Women sing and husbands follow me, these are all learned from you." Gong Changyu smiled.

"Hey, when are you going to let me meet my uncle and aunt?" Feng Jiao'er stared at Gong Changyu with both eyes.

"When the battle for the defense of Baocheng Mansion is over, I will definitely take you back to the Zhu family compound." Gong Changyu grabbed the reins with both hands, shouted "Drive-", the two horses ran, and after a while, they rushed out of the gate of the abandoned barracks......

Less than five hundred meters out of the gate, a faint voice came from a bush on the side of the road, as if coming from a grave, "General Gong, save me-"

"Who?" Gong Chang, who had a keen sense of hearing, was shocked, so he quickly stopped the grain truck, jumped out of the car, and carefully searched for it on the side of the road.

"I ...... Plum...... Big...... The rain ......" came again from the grass, and then there was no movement.

Gong Changyu followed the sound, and finally found Li Dayu, who was lying on the ground with several arrows in his body, dying of breath, in a canopy of artemisia grass that was more than a foot taller than a person. He hurriedly helped Li Dayu up: "Brother, what's the matter?" ”

"General...... One-eyed Longjiang Changyi ...... Not dead...... The ...... in Cold Lake Mountain Jiang Changyi...... It's fake......" Li Dayu said intermittently.

"Heavy rain, don't worry, speak slowly." Gong Changyu carried Li Dayu out of the artemisia grass.

"They're ...... It's to come to Lenghu Mountain...... Exploring the ...... of the real and the false In fact, their large army ...... All the time around Lenghu Mountain...... Watching us......" Li Dayu fainted after speaking.

"Sister Jiufeng, come over and help...... He can't do it in the heavy rain......" Gong Changyu shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming—"

Ran Jiufeng and a few black-clothed women jumped down from the grain cart and went straight to Gong Changyu. Ran Jiufeng carried Li Dayu to the grain cart with seven hands and eight feet among the army girls, Ran Jiufeng probed Li Dayu's snort and asked, "Brother Changyu, what's going on?" ”

"I don't know. You'd better wake up Captain Li first. Gong Changyu took out his saber and shaved off the shaft of the arrow on Li Dayu's back, legs, and hands.

"Brother Changyu, Captain Li's desire to survive is very strong, he was hit by such a feather arrow and shed so much blood, but he still survived." Ran Jiufeng said while giving Li Dayu an arrow, "Sister Yanxia, you put gold sore medicine on his wound." ”

"yes, okay." Xu Yanxia opened the medicine box, unscrewed the medicine bottle, carefully poured it on Li Dayu's wound, and bandaged him one by one with gauze.

"Boss, do you think there will be other injured brothers in the grass around here?" Gong Changyu looked at the artemisia grass on the side of the road again.

"Just search carefully." After Feng Jiao'er finished speaking, she went to the grass on the side of the road to look for it.

"Be in charge, beware of an ambush in the grass." Gong Changyu also followed, unusually vigilantly pulled out the musket and pressed close to Feng Jiao'er.

Walking and walking, Gong Changyu tripped over something, he looked down, and it turned out to be a corpse that had fallen to the ground, already stiff, and obviously dead for a long time.

Gong Changyu turned over the corpse, only to see that the man was holding a sharp short knife in his hand, and a hexagonal dart was pierced deep in his throat. He pulled out the dart, and after a closer look, it was the hidden weapon that Li Dayu often used.

"Changyu, look—" Feng Jiao'er shouted. As soon as Gong Changyu raised his head, there was a corpse kneeling on the ground and hanging his head not far away, and a short sword penetrated from his back and stuck obliquely on the ground, supporting the dead corpse, so as not to end it.

"Boss, these two people are not our sergeants, they died here, it may be related to Li Dayu." Gong Changyu speculated, "These two must have had a fight with Li Dayu before they died." ”

"Since the killers who attacked Li Dayu were all killed, why did Li Dayu get hit by several arrows again?" Feng Jiaoer was puzzled.

"Boss, I imagined it like this, before these two killers entered the barracks, they met a person who was patrolling outside Li Dayu in the grass, and they outflanked him front and back, wanting to assassinate Li Dayu. I didn't expect to be discovered, so the killer wanted to kill people, and the heavy rain preemptively killed the one behind with a dart.

The other was unwilling to fail, and fought with Li Dayu with a short sword, and after a few rounds, he was defeated by Li Dayu and was robbed of the short sword by Dayu. The panicked killer wanted to escape, but Heavy Rain threw out a short sword and hit ...... in the back" Gong Changyu analyzed them one by one according to the scene.

"Kind of makes sense." Feng Jiao'er nodded slightly.

"Then Li Dayu didn't go far in the grass, and the archers who were ambushed nearby shot Li Dayu with arrows, and then Prince Fu and Jiang Changyi arrived and rushed directly into the barracks......" Gong Changyu continued.

"Changyu, there are loopholes in the details behind this. Prince Fu has people, enter our camp and break in, why use such indiscriminate means? Feng Jiaoer said.

"Aren't these two people Prince Fu's subordinates?"

"Of course not. Li Dayu was shot by an arrow, maybe after the troops left the camp, he wanted to reason with Prince Fu Zheng, and there was a quarrel, so he was shot by random arrows......"

"Boss, what you said is not wrong. The Jingnan Army was a group, with no less than ten branches, and no one could command anyone. The soldiers are generals, and the dead soldiers will be scattered, I am not in the barracks, Li Dayu is my position, so Prince Fu Zheng must get rid of Li Dayu, so that he can logically take away my first battalion of Lenghu Mountain......" Gong Changyu suddenly remembered the contradictions within the Jingnan army.

"Changyu, our army is gone, what are the chances of coming back?" Feng Jiao'er asked.

"I'm not coming back." Gong Changyu was depressed.

"Do you have any other friends with Jiang Changyi?"

"Nope."

"That's going to be hard. I heard that there is a talent named Xi Qitian in Dong'an, and Xiantong began to set up a group training in the second year, and he is very famous in Dong'an. This man is very talented, righteous, and emotional, why don't we go to him? ”

"Dong'an is at the southern end of Jingnan County, so far away."

"You have to go far away."

"But I still want to go to Jiang Changyi to get back my 1,000 men, after all, I set it up single-handedly......"

"The main bookkeeper wishes Shui Qiang, they are still in the first battalion, and the troops will not disperse for the time being. Because of Charlemagne's bones, you killed Jiang Changyi's stand-in and offended Jiang Changyi, so it's better not to meet him. ”

"Be in charge, give my troops to Jiang Changyi, I'm not reconciled!" Gong Changyu held up the musket and fired a shot into the sky.
