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

Chapter 1257 Daxing Night Attack
"Ah! Fire, it's on fire!" A soldier screamed first, and Pei Shu strangled the reins desperately, not daring to take a step forward.

It turned out that this place was set ablaze by the rockets shot down from the city tower, Pei Shu suddenly realized, "Fire fuel has been poured here! Everyone retreat!"

A long fire dragon surrounded the entire city wall, and they happened to be at the position of the fire wall.Many soldiers were on fire, and as soon as they touched it, they immediately became burning people.

"Bring the bow!" Gu Chengyu stretched out his hand to the side, and Ming Mo immediately handed over a black bow.

Pei Shu cut off the flying arrow with his sword, "Back back! The kerosene won't last long!"

He didn't believe it anymore, and when the fire oil ran out, let's see how Wu Jun Mansion's [-] troops could defeat their [-] troops.

Gu Chengyu set up the arrow, captured the thief first, and captured the king first. As long as Pei Shu was dealt with first, what fear would there be for the bravery of the remaining stragglers?

Against the backdrop of the flames, a sharp arrow flew towards Pei Shu through the rain of rockets.

"Gu Chengyu!" Suddenly there was a violent shout, and the arrow that Gu Chengyu shot was missed by another arrow.

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, and immediately looked up, Prince Gong?He was a little surprised, he didn't expect Prince Gong to appear here.

Pei Shu walked in front of the Nine Gates, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"My lord? Why are you here?" Pei Shu immediately drove his horse towards Prince Gong.

Prince Gong ignored Pei Shu, but looked straight at the tower.

Gu Chengyu estimated the number of troops brought by Prince Gong, which was only a lot more than what Pei Shu brought.It seems that Prince Gong still attaches great importance to the Wujun Mansion, perhaps because he expected that there would be a change, so he brought reinforcements.

And they only have 5 horses here, if Prince Gong insists on attacking the city, they can only fight bloody to the end.

"Gu Chengyu, you must be an enemy of this king?" Prince Gong held on to the reins tightly, he was wrong, he should have joined forces with Gu Chengyu earlier.

Maybe Gu Chengyu might not choose him, but at least there is still some hope.Unlike now, Gu Chengyu finally chose the prince.

Back then, when his father gave the crown prince position to the second son, he hated it, hated the second son had a good background, and even hated himself as the eldest son even though he was clearly not the eldest son, otherwise he would not be in such an embarrassing situation.

He was also disheartened. After going to the feudal Jingyuan Mansion, he was even more depressed for a period of time, so that he missed the opportunity. Maybe Gu Chengyu formed an alliance with the prince at that time?

In the final analysis, he left a bad impression on Gu Chengyu when they first met.Then there was the bandit case again, Gu Chengyu should have suspected him for a long time.

But so what?If he wants to achieve great things, he doesn't have to care about these small details.He was born in the royal family and has always been aloof.To him, just sacrificing some common people is of great benefit to him, what are these people worth?
Since ancient times, among those heroes who have achieved great achievements, which one didn't do this?
"Why do you need to ask again? If you don't agree with each other!" Gu Chengyu knew that Prince Gong appreciated him somewhat, but that was because he was still useful to Prince Gong now.

If he really chooses Prince Gong, in the future when Prince Gong becomes a great treasure, can he guarantee that he will be treated as favorably as he is now?
No matter who succeeds, it is just another Emperor Huiming!

If I can use you, I will naturally treat you with courtesy.If you are not needed, it is a luxury to be put in the corner to burn ashes, and people will think that you have taken up his place.

Emperors are so heartless!
"It's so different and not conspiring with each other!" Prince Gong didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, even now, he was unwilling to think deeply about it.

"Withdraw!" Prince Gong waved his hand and turned his head first, ready to leave the place.

"My lord! Let's withdraw our troops right now? You brought so many troops, ours is much more than theirs in Wujun Mansion. Anyway, we have already arrived, why don't we take this city down without stopping?"

Pei Shu was a little confused, even though they lost a lot of troops just now.But they are more than double the army of Wujun Mansion, he is unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity.

"Do you think he has no backup? Didn't you see that no soldiers have appeared in the city tower? Let's go! Today has lost the opportunity, and their reinforcements are coming soon. Go back and prepare slowly!"

No matter how unwilling Pei Shu felt, he could only order the army behind him to retreat.

Gu Chengyu held up the bow and arrow, but did not continue to strike.Looking at the rapidly retreating army, he understood that if he met Prince Gong again in the future, it would be a rivalry.

Putting down the longbow, he sighed.There is a big gap between the enemy and us, and Prince Gong's martial arts is not weak. It is impossible to succeed in a sneak attack like just now.

Furthermore, he is now only a supervisory censor, and it is not a good thing to stretch his hands too far.Since Prince Gong voluntarily withdrew his troops, it couldn't be better.

It also saves him from commanding the battle, and when it is sent back to the capital, those censors will start to spit again.

"My lord! That's Prince Gong. We killed them just now and caught them off guard. They must have lost a lot. Why don't we?"

Seeing that the opponent had lost a lot of troops, Wang Baihu immediately became more confident.When he saw Prince Gong appearing, he couldn't help thinking.

If Prince Gong can be captured today, such a monstrous contribution would be enough for them to be promoted several ranks.

Gu Chengyu glanced at him sideways, "Since Wang Baihu is confident of taking down Prince Gong, why not hand over the [-] soldiers waiting outside the city to you? I am waiting for the good news!"

Wang Baihu was at a loss for words, he was a little at a loss.Although Gu Chengyu's expression has not changed, he is still calm and calm, but he always feels that Gu Chengyu is angry.

"My lord, you are joking. You also know that a lowly position is a hundred households. How dare you command thousands of troops? This is against reason and against the law!"

Wang Baihu forced a laugh. This Mr. Gu is young, but he has a lot of official authority, and he can't help being awe-inspiring.

"As long as you know your identity, you can't afford this token, and neither can I!"

"Yes!" Wang Baihu was startled suddenly, and only then remembered that the token in Mr. Gu's hand belonged to General Yuan, and Mr. Gu had no right to use this token at all.

After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he looked at the magistrate Qiu, thinking about how to deal with this person.

Those who should be interrogated have been interrogated, and Prince Gong suddenly retreated, making this person useless.

"Put him in prison first, and wait for the official to send the news back to the capital to see what the emperor will do."

"Yes!" Wang Baihu immediately replied respectfully, but he suddenly thought that if the Prefect Qiu was locked up, who would be in charge of the Wujun Mansion from now on?
Could it be that Mr. Gu is not going to Yuheguan anymore, and wants to stay in Wujun Mansion to preside over the overall situation?

"All the official affairs of the Wujun Mansion are temporarily assigned to Prime Minister Tongzhi!"

Gu Chengyu explained what happened here, and when the reinforcements came, he was about to set off for Yuheguan.After all, he was passing by, and his destination was Yuheguan.

"Master Gu, it's bad! Daxing's army attacked the camp outside Yuhe Pass at night, and the reinforcements retreated."
