Chapter 52: Twilight Breaks Through the City Gate

Late at night, Liangcheng barracks.

"Childe, these people don't want to explain anything."

Bai Yi closed the prison door and stepped forward to tell Gu Li.

Gu Li stood with his hands in his hands, standing in the camp and looking in the direction of the capital.

I don't know if Ah Li received his letter.

There has been no reply from Ah Li for several days, and I wonder if there is something wrong with Kyoto.

"Alright, although they have been captured by our army, remember not to lynching."

At this time, it was already late at night, and Gu Liwu was completely unable to sleep because of the people who cared about Kyoto, so he came to the camp to stroll.

"Yes."

A few days ago, the mountain bandits came to invade and entered the city to grab food, but fortunately, Gu Liwu had already dealt with it, which protected the people of Liangcheng.

The people who were imprisoned in the prison were among the bandits that day.

Bai Yi felt strange and said:

"Childe, although they have become prisoners of the ranks, they are extremely arrogant, and they are sure that they can leave safely."

Hearing this, Gu Liwu's eyes were dull, and he looked extremely cold in the hazy moonlight.

"Are they so sure that the big tree behind them must be reliable?"

Gu Liwu's voice was low, and his expression was indifferent that Ye Sili had never seen before.

Eleven days ago, when he first arrived in Liangcheng, Sun Yan, the governor of Zhou, greeted him from afar and set up a banquet. After several temptations during the banquet, Gu Liwu made Sun Yan think that he was very easy to control.

Ten days ago, he asked to check the account books of Liangcheng for nearly ten years on the grounds of his duties, and the account books given by Sun Yan were full of loopholes, and he pretended to cooperate and never mentioned it, which was recognized by Sun Yan.

Eight days ago, he took out the deployment map of Liangcheng and discussed it with Sun Yan for a whole day, and the reason given by Sun Yan for the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Liangcheng but repeatedly disturbed by the mountain bandits made the people's livelihood miserable - "The mountain bandits are too strong, especially the two barbarians in Duanjiang Duantian, although there are many soldiers and horses in Liangcheng, but the material is scarce, it really can't withstand it."

Six days ago, in the middle of the night, Duan Tian, the owner of the second village of mountain bandits, led people to sneak attack, Gu Liwu had already made all preparations, blocking Duan Tian and his party outside the city, but there were traces of mountain bandits in the city, Gu Liwu in order to protect the people in the city, had to quickly withdraw troops back to the city, and by the way, captured a few people alive. Duan Tian didn't fall in love with the war, it seemed that he came to provoke this time, just to give Gu Liwu a dismissal.

In the past few days, Sun Yan was worried that Duan Tian and his party would make a comeback, and repeatedly proposed to release the mountain bandits back.

Gu Liwu and Bai Yi left the camp and returned to the courtyard where they were resting.

Bai Yi said worriedly, "Childe, after the last battle, I always feel that those mountain bandits are not like ordinary bandits who occupy the mountains as kings."

Gu Liwu motioned for him to continue.

"They fight in an orderly manner, and their weapons and equipment are not like those that ordinary mountain bandits can have."

It feels like ......

"Like trained in the army." Gu Li's voice is warm and cool, blending with the cool night breeze of the summer moon.

"Yes." Bai Yi couldn't help but worry: "If the mountain bandits have anything to do with the army, then you will be in danger."

"These days, Sun Yan is clearly testing your attitude."

Indeed, as far as Sun Yan knew, Gu Liwei was just a young general who had been on the battlefield a few times, and now he was sent by the Holy Lord to suppress bandits in this poor and remote place, and it seemed that he was not reused by the Holy Lord.

Gu Liwu didn't care and said, "If Sun Yan thinks he can handle me at will, just come and try it."

Early the next morning, Gu Liwu and Bai Yi were having breakfast, but they heard a report from their subordinates:

"General, there's a disturbance at the gates."

Gu Liwei's hospital was guarded by his own people, and the people who came to tell him at this time were Liangcheng soldiers.

Bai Yi asked rhetorically:

"Someone's making trouble? If I remember correctly, Sun Zhizhou said clearly, my son-in-law came to suppress the bandits by order, but he didn't come to take care of these trivial things in your city."

A few days ago, Gu Liwei and Sun Yan went to the street to learn about the people's situation, but they met soldiers in the city who acted violently.

Taxing aggressively, Bai Yikan couldn't step forward to stop the soldiers who were about to commit violence against the old man, but he was angered by Sun Yan's yin and yang.

Although Gu Liwu disposed of the soldier with sixty sticks in public military law at that time, and directly asked for most of the soldier's life, Sun Yan's personality, he just didn't look at it strangely!

"Why, if someone deliberately makes trouble, he needs to trouble my son-in-law to solve it?"

Bai Yi took a big sip of rice porridge and continued to eat breakfast.

Seeing that Gu Liwu didn't have the slightest intention of taking care of it, the soldier said anxiously:

"General, please go and have a look."

"That woman is so strong in martial arts that she has to break into the city gate, and the brothers guarding the city gate are really a little unable to stop her."

"And, she specified that she was looking for you, General."

Gu Liwu put down his chopsticks: "Do you know who she is?"

"The woman was holding a long whip, and she said her name was ...... Call ......"

"Twilight?" Bai Yi was shocked.

"Yes! It's late spring."

Bai Yi and Gu Liwu glanced at each other, they were both shocked in their hearts, the two got up one after another, and Gu Liwu asked:

"She's the only one?"

"Yes, the girl is in a mess, and she is now entangled with her brothers at the city gate."

Without waiting for the soldier to finish speaking, Gu Liwu and Bai Yi immediately rushed over.

"Smack!" The twilight whip slashed and struck the soldier hard.

At the city gate, many soldiers lay on the ground, wailing in pain.

Twilight Haru had a tired face, the wounds on her body were dry with the blood stains on her clothes, she held a long whip in her hand, her eyes were bloodshot, her lips were chapped, her voice was hoarse, and she said angrily:

"I said, I have an urgent matter to see Gu Li and worry about Gu Gongzi! The Kyoto Yugongfu token is here, are you all blind!"

She rode her horse and galloped all night, and finally arrived in Liangcheng, but this group of soldiers did not let her in anyway, she explained bitterly for a long time, and also took out the county lord's Yefu token, but this group of blind people did not believe that she knew Gongzi.

The situation was so critical last night, the county lord was still waiting for her to find Gongzi to rescue, and she couldn't delay for a moment, so she had to be forced to fight.

The soldiers surrounded her, and one of them scolded, "Look at your appearance of being neither a human nor a ghost, how can you know General Gu, I'm afraid it's not a meticulous work sent by the enemy?"

"......" Twilight didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, holding the county lord's token tightly, and the long whip was instantly swung at the man.

For a moment, Twilight is caught in the middle of a scuffle again.

"Stop!"

When Gu Liwu and Bai Yi rushed to the city gate, they were shocked when they looked at the twilight spring in front of them.

The person in front of him had messy hair, unclean clothes, stained with dark brown blood, and the long whip in his hand was ruthless and merciless, obviously after a vicious battle, and at this time he was even more red-eyed, but he did not take their lives because the other party was an officer and soldier.

Bai Yifei stepped forward and kicked away from Twilight Spring, attacking the soldiers behind Twilight Spring.

When the soldiers saw Gu Liwu and Bai Yi coming, they also withdrew their hands.

"Twilight Spring." Bai Yi looked at Twilight Chun's injuries up close, and his eyes were full of distress.

「…… White One." Twilight Chun's voice was hoarse, and when she saw that it was Bai Yi, the vigilance in her eyes instantly lifted.

Twilight Spring was exhausted, and at this moment, seeing that Bai Yi finally didn't have to brace hard, his head and eyes were dizzy, and his feet were almost unstable, but fortunately Bai Yi held him up.

Gu Li was worried that Du Chun was too seriously injured, so he hurriedly asked Bai Yi to take her home.

Back at the resting place, Twilight took the warm water handed by Bai Yi and poured several cups in a row, until finally she choked violently.

"Drink slowly." Bai Yi hurriedly patted her on the back and smoothed out.

"It's only been a long time since I've been around, and you've made yourself look like this." Bai Yi's tone was distressed.

Gu Liwu introduced the doctor into the house.

"Childe, it doesn't matter if I'm injured."

Seeing Gu Liwu in front of him, Twilight Chun knelt down with tears in his eyes.

"Childe, save the county lord quickly!"

They traveled for days,

After a fierce battle, she finally found her son-in-law, looking at the familiar son-in-law and Bai Yi in front of her, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and her eyes were sore.

Gu Liwu hurriedly helped her up and asked, "What's wrong with Ah Li? What happened?"

Twilight wiped away her tears, held back the sourness in her eyes, and said:

"The county lord received news in Kyoto and was worried that you were in danger, so he took me, Shui Xia and Qingluo to Liangcheng day and night."

"But last night we stumbled into a bandit."

"However, I was outnumbered, and when it was critical, the county lord sent me out."

Speaking of this, Twilight looked at Bai Yi, who immediately invited the doctor out of the house, and then checked the surroundings of the courtyard to confirm that there was no one before entering the house and closing the door.

"This is the Ye family's military order specially sent by the county lord this time."

Dui Chun took out the Ye Jiajun token, handed it to Gu Liwu with both hands, and whispered:

"The county lord and the prince of the nine winds guessed that the officials of Liangcheng might have different intentions, and they were worried that the prince was in danger, so they specially sent a token to relieve the prince's predicament."

Gu Liwu put away the token and didn't ask much, but only cared:

"How's Ah Li?"

"Last night's situation was critical, and the county lord must have known that we couldn't escape with our whole body, so he did his best to cover my escape. But don't worry, Gongzi, with Lian Xia and Qingluo protecting the county lord, the county lord will be safe."

In the second half of the sentence, Twilight Chun said without confidence, the group of mountain bandits last night was savage, and I don't know what happened to the county lord.

"White one, gather the people." Gu Li commanded.

"Childe, the people of Duan Shanzhai are different from ordinary mountain bandits, and it may not be appropriate to attack rashly. What's more, Sun Yan's side hasn't done it yet, and the variables are unpredictable." Bai Yi tried to stop him.

Gu Liwu lost his former calm, and only said, "Those mountain bandits are murderous and vulgar, if Ah Li falls into their hands, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Childe." Twilight Spring said, "The county lord has repeatedly asked me to hand over the token to you, I must have a plan, and I must not fall short."

Twilight Chun and Bai Yi tried their best to persuade each other, and Gu Liwu finally calmed down.

Pacing anxiously in the room, he was slammed.

According to Ah Li's temperament, if she is lifeless, she will definitely fight to the death, and she is also familiar with his temperament, and understands that if he knows that she is in trouble, he will go to the rescue desperately.

And now she asked Duchun to send the token desperately, and deliberately explained the matter of Liangcheng, because she wanted him to put the people of Liangcheng first, and it also showed that she had other plans......
