Chapter 240

——in the main account

Gu Jingyao stood in front of the defense map and listened to the report of his subordinates. The soldiers at the gate of the capital resisted to the death and appeared out of nowhere. Not even the lieutenant is his opponent.

"Who is the leader?" Gu Jingyao rolled his eyes coldly and tightened his palms slightly. He had never heard of such a person in Li Chao.

"Master, that man is wearing a silver mask and a black armor, and his subordinates have never seen it before." The spy in front of him said tremblingly, thinking of the man's terrifying appearance like a Rakshasa, he couldn't help but tremble all over. Eyes full of fear.

Gu Jingyao frowned, and searched through his memory, but he couldn't remember who the masked person was, while Meng Qi, who was on the side, was suffocated when he heard the words, and he knelt down to plead guilty, "Master, it's my subordinate's dereliction of duty, and I didn't find the leader. He is the one who guards the army"

Gu Jingyao looked over, frowning, Qiu Yeli also stood quietly waiting for the next sentence.

"Qin Yi."

Meng Qi said in a steady voice, "My subordinates found out that after Li Yi's death, the emperor of the Li Dynasty rectified the military plane and promoted Qin Yi to be the commander of the forbidden army. The frontier resisted the Japanese pirates, and I don’t know when they returned to Kyoto, and there is no news about it.”

"Qin Yi?"

Gu Jingyao frowned and repeated, there are many families with the Qin surname in the capital city, but he has never heard of such an outstanding young general.

"It's Mrs. Shen Zishan's brother from the mother's family. He hasn't been raised in the capital city since he was a child, and he hasn't shown his ability to lead the army, so the master hasn't heard of it."

Gu Jingyao still frowned, fighting Cheng Yaojin halfway would only make this battle more difficult.

"This person is loyal to Gu Jingcheng." Qiu Yeli said casually. They deliberately spread rumors. He had a lot of complaints about him, and he was not willing to work for him, but according to what he said, this person was brave and good at fighting and supported Gu Jingcheng.

"Madam doesn't know something." Meng Qi pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, but he still said it. Qiu Yeli looked over, and the man continued, "Since Qin Yi served as the commander of the imperial army and returned to Kyoto, the emperor has ordered a marriage."

Qiu Yeli raised her eyebrows, Gu Jingcheng was suspicious of Qin Yi's sincerity, the superiors inevitably had a lot of thoughts, and giving marriages was also a common thing, it was nothing more than selecting women of the right age from among the royal family, one was to cling to the imperial power to win people's hearts, and the other was to be easy to coerce.

However, Gu Jingcheng had only been on the throne for a few years, and there seemed to be no women of the right age in the palace. Some thoughts flashed in his mind, and Qiu Yeli looked at Meng Qi with sharp eyes.Obviously, Gu Jingyao also thought of something, said in a deep voice, "Continue."

"The emperor decreed that the person who bestows the marriage is Miss Zhu'er."

Gu Jingyao put down the teacup in front of him heavily, and looked at him coldly, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Although Li Xiaozhu was at fault, she stayed in the palace for her own sake, and he couldn't see others making such hasty decisions about her life.

Qiu Yeli is no longer calm. In the past few years, she has also been concerned about the little girl who lived alone in the palace.

"Returning to the master, the subordinates only found out not long ago that Miss Zhu'er doesn't seem to want to marry Qin Yi. I don't know why the emperor also condoned it. He only made a marriage contract and didn't get married."

Meng Qi lowered his head, and spoke in all directions. He was a secret guard, and he became a detailed work of inquiring about news.

"I'm going to meet this Qin Yi in person." Gu Jingyao stood up with a cold face, with one hand behind his back and the other clenched fist at his side, his eyes were icy cold.

"My lord, no, if you have any accidents, we," the deputy general, stopped immediately.

"The lord must not do it!" Everyone knelt down and begged for orders. They had all fought against Qin Yi and knew that his martial power was astonishing. Can't make a mistake, otherwise, the whole game will be lost.

Qiu Yeli frowned and looked at Gu Jingyao to persuade him, "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long term." Qiu Yeli's words were very useful. Gu Jingyao quickly calmed down and ordered in a deep voice, "Divide the troops into two groups, and a team of troops will attack the city gate directly. , we must attack violently, just like Qin Yi retreated out of the city to meet the enemy, only for consumption, and another pair of men and horses climbed in from the city wall with a ballista cart."

Gu Jingyao deployed calmly, and everyone took orders one after another, turned around and went out.

Meng Qi also retreated quietly, feeling faintly worried that Gu Jingcheng might not let Miss Zhu'er go so easily.

In the tent, Gu Jingyao sat on the top seat without saying a word. Qiu Yeli sighed slightly, stepped forward, looked at Gu Jingyao and said with relief, "Don't worry too much, Zhu'er has always been smart and witty, and nothing will happen."

Qiu Yeli knew that he cared about Li Xiaozhu and Li Xiaoyue, and he didn't want to live up to Mrs. Li's entrustment. She also regretted not taking Li Xiaozhu away by force, and secretly cursed Gu Jingyao for not even letting the child go.

"En." Gu Jingyao's expression softened a little, and he responded lightly, but the thought in his eyes did not diminish at all.

The attack started again before dawn. The Mobei army learned a lesson and attacked east and west according to Jing Yao's deployment. No matter how brave Qin Yi was, he was not supercilious. For a while, the Mobei army really broke through.

Seeing that the city gate missed, Gu Jingcheng led people to arrive in time to prevent the army from attacking. Gu Jingyao sat in the rear, listening to the news from the front, frowned and quickly counterattacked.

"My lord, it will be dawn soon. If I can't conquer it in one fell swoop, I'm afraid I will miss the opportunity!"

The lieutenant, covered in blood, knelt on the ground and spoke word by word.

"attack!"

"Yes!" The deputy general responded loudly and left immediately.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, just like the Mobei army never thought that the dying Li army would push out a group of unarmed people at the dawn of the city to block the attack.

The lieutenant general froze immediately, looking at the two battles, his expression frightened, the people who were surrounded and unable to move frowned fiercely, ordered to stop the attack, and went back to report the military situation.

In the camp, the deputy general quickly reported the situation at the city gate to Gu Jingyao, the man frowned fiercely, he never thought that Gu Jingcheng would be so shameless.

"Beast!" Qiu Yeli was filled with anger when he heard that. He actually took the people as hostages, so he was sure that Gu Jingyao would not harm the unarmed people.

The battle situation fell into a strange truce for a while, and Li Jun guarded the city gate without looking vigilantly at the Mobei army that retreated but did not leave.

Gu Jingyao knew that Gu Jingcheng's move was to force him to retreat, so he put on his armor with a calm face and walked out of the camp. It was time for them to make a break.

"Are you going to the city gate?" Seeing his resolute appearance, Qiu Yeli asked.
