The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1245 Soldiers are coming to the city (Add more rewards!)
"Who? Who's outside?" Prefect Qiu had already instructed the steward not to allow anyone to approach the flower hall, and only two confidantes were left guarding the door.

The voice just now was so unfamiliar, and it was unknown who it was.And how much did this person listen to what they said just now?

All the people in the flower hall were shocked, and their hearts suddenly thumped.Although he didn't directly express his disobedience to the imperial court just now, but Zhifu Qiu said so clearly just now, people outside must think that they and Zhifu Qiu are on the same side.

The door of the flower hall was opened, and a gust of cold wind swept in with the fragrance of flowers.Everyone took a closer look and couldn't help being stunned.

This person was wearing a turmeric-trimmed gown with a stand-up collar and a right lapel with gold satin embroidered with yellow flowers on a white background, and a black silk cloak with a black bucket pattern and embroidered flowers on the outside, which looked very luxurious.

Perhaps because he had been outside for a long time, his long black hair and slender shoulders were covered with many plum blossom petals, which added a bit of cool beauty to his jade-like crystal face.

However, at this time the beauty's face was very cold, and her eyes were even more icy cold.The crown is fluttering in the cold wind, and the plum blossoms on the hair are also lifted up and falling down, which makes people feel like they are exiled to the world.

"You, who are you?" Qiu Zhifu came back to his senses, and he pointed to Gu Chengyu and asked in surprise.

"Didn't the prefect just say that he wanted to hold me down? Why are you asking me who I am now?" Gu Chengyu sneered, but he was not at peace right now.

It was very inconvenient to inquire about news during the trip, even carrier pigeons could not be used, and he did not know what was going on with Yin Kun.Just now, the prefect Qiu meant that Yin Kun and those two censors were in the same boat?
No!Gu Chengyu never believed it. If Yin Kun really had such shallow eyelids, he would have been wooed by some people when he was in the capital. What worries him the most is Yin Kun's situation in Yuheguan.

"You are Gu Jinyu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple?" Qiu Zhifu widened his eyes, which were usually closed, and looked very surprised.

"Exactly! What were you talking about just now? How about taking me?" The young man's cold voice was very pleasant, but the unwavering tone made everyone present shudder.

Ming Yan glanced at his lord, um!When the adults in his family are not smiling, they are still quite aloof.The whole body is majestic, so it's not easy to mess with it.

However, when the adult smiles, he becomes a warm man who is as gentle as jade.It seems that I have to take the time to talk to the adults, and stop laughing casually in the future, lest these people always think that adults are easy to bully when they are young.

Prefect Qiu was a little embarrassed. They had a lively conversation just now, how could they notice someone eavesdropping outside?
"This? Mr. Gu, is this a misunderstanding? We just said before that we should be ready to welcome you. Who would have thought that all the adults have come to Wujun Mansion, and we haven't received any news. It's because I have neglected you!"

Qiu Zhifu quickly stood up and cupped his hands towards Gu Chengyu.A smile bloomed on the slightly drunk face, but the appearance of this superficial smile made people feel a little off-putting.

"Then you mean to blame me for coming to the Wujun mansion and not finding someone to inform you in advance?"

Gu Chengyu stepped forward slowly, glanced at everyone present, and Ming Mo and Ming Yan who followed behind were still holding out their swords, which made everyone's hearts tremble again.

"Master Gu was joking, but I feel a little uneasy because I have lost my way!"

"Everyone, this is the censor sent by the imperial court, Mr. Gu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple!" Qiu Zhifu winked at everyone present, and they stood up quickly and saluted Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu didn't respond, but said casually: "Master Qiu is really in a good mood, he's almost at the gate of the city, and he still has the heart to entertain guests here."

Qiu Zhifu frowned, "I don't know what Mr. Gu's words mean?"

Gu Chengyu sneered, and was about to make an attack when he heard footsteps behind him.

"Hey? This military master, you can't intrude!"

"My lord! My lord, it's too bad! The enemy army is coming, you should go to the top of the city tower to take charge of the overall situation! The guard Wang said that there are many people coming, so I'm afraid he needs to call for reinforcements!"

Qiu Zhifu immediately turned pale with shock, he glanced at Gu Chengyu, and then said: "What's going on? Where did the enemy army come from, and which side is it?"

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, it seems that the prefect Qiu also understands Prince Gong's plan?Otherwise why would you ask?

"I don't know yet. Our secret whistle didn't have time to spread the news. We only heard the horn blowing from the watchtower outside. The humble official came in a hurry and didn't pay attention to the investigation."

"Enemy army? Is there going to be a war? Oh, oh! The old man is going back to the house, this is going to be a mess!"

As soon as they heard that the enemy army was attacking, everyone in the flower hall immediately panicked.If the Fucheng is conquered, how can their mansion survive?Haven't been harmed by those thieves?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't sit still.

"My lords, a war is about to start, we have to go back to the house and guard the door, so excuse me now!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Everyone at the banquet stood up and ran out of the flower hall scrambling to be the first.At this time, who cares whether it will be rude or not, the most important thing is to keep one's own home.

Before Gu Chengyu could respond, Zhifu Qiu was about to speak out to persuade them to stay, but these people had already run outside the flower hall.

Prefect Qiu's face was full of gloom, such a good opportunity wasted.If Gu Chengyu hadn't come to intervene horizontally, today's plan would have come true.

"Lord Gu, although there are already enemy troops approaching the city, we don't know where they are. We still have to go to the tower to find out and make plans!"

Qiu Zhifu narrowed his eyes, and there was a gleam in his eyes.He twirled his beard with his hands, with a nervous look on his face.

"Alright! Although it is not for me to interfere in this matter, this matter is not trivial. As the supervisory censor, I naturally have to give the emperor an explanation, please!"

Gu Chengyu nodded, but he was thinking about it in his heart. Although he didn't know which side this person had taken refuge in, this was not the time to worry about it.

The rest can be saved for later calculation, but now that the enemy army is about to capture Wujun Mansion, he has to put this matter on hold for now.

"My lord! Report from the front, the enemy army is the army of King Gong who rebelled against the party, and they have already begun to arrive at the city. We are short of manpower, please give an order from your lord to go to the border to ask for help!"

The two had just finished speaking and were about to go to the city tower, but a soldier barged in again, and the news he brought shocked Zhifu Qiu for a long time.

"You, you wait! You took the official's letter and token and went to the border." After finishing speaking, Prefect Qiu didn't care about Gu Chengyu, and turned around and left the flower hall.

Gu Chengyu looked at Zhifu Qiu's back thoughtfully. Could it be that he guessed wrong before, that Zhifu Qiu is not Prince Gong's man?

He pondered for a moment, then frowned, "Let's go to the tower to see!"
