Chapter 89: The Yuan Family Brothers

The capital, the city gate, a group of people, quickly whipped up, and rushed back to the capital day and night, but they could only stop in the dense forest not far from the city gate.

Watching the people coming and going at the city gate, usually the city gate guards are fixed with a few people.

The guards guarded the gates on both sides of the city gate with spears, and would only stop and interrogate some people who looked like they had a raw face, behaved strangely, and behaved unusually.

Today's inspection of the city gate is indeed extremely strict, as long as they want to enter the capital, whether they are men, women, young or old, even if they only mention the chicken that has been slaughtered in their hands, they must ask where they got it, where they got it, what they used it for, and they almost didn't ask how they planned to eat it, and they didn't have to think much about it, but they only knew what this battle was for.

Mo Chengbei, who was hidden on the side, didn't know how to curse the prime minister in his mouth in his heart, and finally couldn't help but speak, and mocked: "Childe, our prime minister is also careful enough, even the guards at the city gate have been replaced, I'm afraid it's not easy to get in."

"We've all arrived, why can't we identify ourselves and go straight in?"

The simple-minded Tang Qingling thought that as long as he could come to the capital safely, everything would go smoothly, and when he came to the city gate, he could shout 'Dad, I'm back' as if he was in a medical hall.

"Are you stupid? Identify ourselves, and then let them kill us for pretending to be royalty, and come all the way to send us to death, what do you think? Mo Chengbei wanted to poke Tang Qingling's head, but was stopped by Gu Yanting's cold eyes.

"Now the guard of the city gate is called Yan Yiming, who is the prime minister's henchman, and in exchange for him, he is to strictly prevent us from entering the city."

Gu Yanting knew that she was simple-minded and not so harmful, so he patiently explained to her why we couldn't enter the city.

"This man looks a little kind, haven't we met?"

"Childe, when you hunted last year, he was in charge of guarding, and he also stopped a frightened horse to avoid hurting Concubine Chen, and you also rewarded him for this"

"It turned out to be him, and the son praised him at that time, but he didn't expect to bury the root of today's bane"

"Childe, let's get out of here, find a safe place, and then discuss ways to enter the city."

"Good".

Gu Yanting and his party planned to take shelter in the dense forest behind them for a while, so as to discuss countermeasures, but they didn't go far but were stopped by two plainly dressed and sturdy men who looked slightly older than Gu Yanting and the others.

"Who?" Gu Yanting and Mo Chengbei stood guardedly in front of He Xiujue and Tang Qingling and asked sharply.

"Greetings, the emperor, the old prince Gu, and General Mo", the two respectfully saluted Gu Yanting and them

"Who sent you", they did not let their guard down because of the respectful greeting of the visitor, but secretly pushed their swords out a little bit, ready to fight at any time.

"Gu Xiaowangye, don't misunderstand, the grass people have no malicious intent, the grass people Yuan Zhan, this is the grass people's younger brother Yuan Yi, they are all Gu Sanye's new rice line, our two brothers are at the will of Gu Sanye, and come to pick up a few"

One of them, a dark-skinned man with a scar on his forehead, was the first to speak.

The person who claimed to be Yuan Zhan took out a waist card from his waist, held it in both hands and handed it to Gu Yanting, Gu Yanting took a deep look at Yuan Zhan, and saw that this person's eyes were determined, and there was nothing abnormal, so he carefully took the waist card.

"How do you know us?"

"Caomin, I don't know the emperor and General Mo, Gu Sanye only showed us the portrait of the little prince, and told us that the little prince was with the emperor and General Mo."

Gu Yanting carefully checked the waist card, the front of the waist card was engraved with the word Dingxin, and the back had the private seal pattern of his third uncle, he could be sure that this waist card was indeed from the third uncle, but before seeing the third uncle himself, he still didn't dare to take it lightly.

"Yan Ting, how's it going?"

"Hui Gongzi, this is indeed my third uncle's token"

"Is that Uncle Gu sending someone to pick us up?"

"It should be, it's just that I ...... before I met the third uncle", seeing Gu Yanting say this, Mo Chengbei nodded understandingly.

Gu Yanting handed the waist card back to the person who called himself Yuan Zhan, "What did you just say your name was?" ”

"Grass people Yuan Zhan, this is Yuan Yi, the younger brother of grass people", the person who was called Yuan Yi bowed to Gu Yanting, he looked whiter than his brother, and his hands were much more delicate, it seemed that he should usually have more care from his brother.

"What did my third uncle say?"

"Gu Sanye, I have arranged a place outside the city for you to live temporarily, let the grass people bring a few people over to rest first, and Gu Shangshu will go out of the city to meet later."

"My second uncle?"

Yuan Zhan nodded and said, "Little Lord, it's not safe here, the grass people will take you away first, and then talk about it in detail."

"Good"

"Please come with the grass people."

Yuan Zhan led the way in front of them, and a few of them followed closely and walked towards the depths of the forest, "Shall we just follow like this?" Will there be fraud".

"Anyway, the token is indeed real, and there is no other way now, let's be careful and act when the opportunity comes!" , Mo Chengbei nodded.

On the way, Gu Yanting asked the Yuan brothers about the situation in the city, "Is there any news in the city now?" ”

"A few days ago, news came before the war that General Mo was besieged, and the emperor was also ......", Yuan Zhan paused, didn't dare to say any more, but turned his head slightly, and his eyes glanced cautiously in the direction of He Xiujue.

Gu Yanting looked at him with his eyes, He Xiujue nodded, Gu Yanting opened his mouth and said: "Tell the truth, don't worry about it"

"Say the emperor...... The emperor, saying that the emperor was injured and captured by the leader of Kirzi", hearing this, everyone stopped and looked at each other.

Walking through a dense forest and coming to a wide area, Yuan Zhan led them to a hidden place, where a house of considerable size came into view, the house was rectangular, except for the long row of ventilation windows under the eaves of wooden hundred-page partitions less than a foot wide, only the big red door with the word 'grain' written on it.

"Here?"

"Back to the little prince, this is our granary outside the city, all the grain here has been transported into the city, and the new grain has not yet arrived, so this place is temporarily vacant."

Gu Yanting nodded, he had a certain understanding of the operation of rice, and knew that they were telling the truth, it was about to enter winter, everyone was stockpiling grain and grass, and there was a large demand in the market, so there was indeed a possibility of a vacant period here.

"I've already packed up the place for everyone inside, everybody, please."

"I'm tired".

Yuan Yi opened the locked granary door, and looked around the granary, and it was empty.

Didn't you say that you packed up your accommodation? There's nothing here, not even a nest of rats, let alone people. In everyone's confusion, the Yuan Zhan brothers walked to the side of a grain pillar in the granary, put their hands on the pillar, and pressed it inside.

"Squeak", the ground of the granary was slowly opened, "Emperor", Yuan Zhan shouted, they approached and saw a wooden staircase, "Emperor, please", several of them followed Yuan Zhan into the kiln.

This kiln has been temporarily cleaned up to be a place where people can live, although it is not very good, but compared with the previous food style and camping, this place has been much better.

"Just grieve you, take a break here first, and the grass people will go and inform Gu Sanye that you have received you", Gu Yanting nodded.

"The grass people retreated", Yuan Zhan and Yuan Yi left the granary to report the situation to Gu Sanye.

"Chengbei, have you been here?"

"No, I just know that the third uncle has a granary outside the city, but I don't know where it is"

"That is to say, it is not yet possible to confirm whether this is true or false", Mo Chengbei is still not at ease.

"But it's a granary."

"How?"

"There is a lot of space on it, but there is no window, only a whole row of exhaust vents, which not only ensures ventilation, but also avoids direct sunlight, the surrounding walls are dry, there is no mildew, and it is completely suitable for storing grain, if you want to find such a place to deceive us temporarily, it is not very likely"

"And although it has been cleaned, you can still see some fallen rice grains in the corners", Tang Qingling continued Gu Yanting's words.

"The little girl has become smarter."

"Hmph", Gu Yanting looked at Tang Qingling and smiled warmly.

"Since that's the case, let's take a good rest, and wait for Gu Shangshu to come."

"No".
