He had been busy running for his life before, but now he stopped, and Gu Yunji had time to think about it carefully.

When Qiu Wugang led his people to the camp, he had already sent scouts to investigate and confirmed that there were only two or three hundred Japanese pirates who came to attack, and they were all concentrated in the open space in front of the camp, fighting with the soldiers who stayed behind.

Therefore, Qiu Wu would feel free to leave his personal guards to protect Gu Yunji and Fu Zida just now, and lead the rest of his soldiers to support them.

Since the Japanese pirates were all fighting in the camp, where did the Japanese pirates who attacked Gu Yunji and others come from?Did he hide here early in the morning, or did he come for a surprise attack later?

Moreover, although the group of Japanese pirates was not large in number, their purpose was very clear. They were obviously coming for Gu Yunji and Fu Zida. The other party was likely to know their identities. Does this mean that the other party had a premeditated plan?

If the Japanese pirates had a backup plan, wouldn't Qiu Wugang and others...

Gu Yunji looked solemn and did not dare to think any more. Although he and Fu Zida were safe for the time being and had escaped successfully, he did not know what the situation was like outside, nor did he know what would greet them if they went out rashly like this. Qiu Wugang is still a Japanese pirate waiting to catch a turtle in the urn.

Considering this possibility, Gu Yunji planned to let Fu Zida stay here and go out to investigate the situation first.

He casually picked up a thick wooden stick and handed it to Fu Zida, saying, "I'll go out and take a look first. You can use this to defend yourself. If something happens, you won't be completely defenseless."

Fu Zida was flustered by Gu Yunji's words and subconsciously grabbed his clothes: "Then... when will you come back?"

Gu Yunji said: "I will do it as soon as possible. If it is safe in front, I will come back to you immediately. If there is any accident..."

After saying that, Gu Yunji paused and then said: "...Then you should pay more attention to yourself."

Fu Zida's heart tightened and his voice trembled: "What...what do you mean I should pay more attention to myself?"

Gu Yunji fell silent. After a long while, he breathed out gently, squatted down and looked at Fu Zida, and said slowly but firmly: "If I never come back, you must not come to me. Follow the road in the opposite direction out of the forest. Find a way to return to the government office and find the Governor."

"……What about you?"

Gu Yunji lowered his head to avoid his gaze, and said a little dejectedly: "Anyway, in terms of the worst result, at least one of you and I must go back and tell the court what happened, lest my family think that I am doing something for no reason. Missing, don’t even know my whereabouts.”

Listening to Gu Yunji's words that seemed like farewell, Fu Zida's eyes suddenly turned red, she held his hand tightly and choked up: "...Don't worry, Mr. Gu, you saved me more than once today. You gave me my life. Even if I crawl, I will crawl back and bring the news to the Governor."

"...If something happens to you, I will definitely take care of your family for you. You don't have to worry. From now on, your parents are my parents, your children are my children, and your wife It’s mine…”

Feeling Gu Yunji's dagger-like gaze, Fu Zida stopped urgently and twisted the words on his lips: "...she is my sister-in-law. In short, I will help you take good care of them."

Gu Yunji said angrily: "Who deserves your care? Can't you just hope for me? After all, I am an official of the imperial court. The head on my neck is still worth some money. Even if I am caught, I may not die."

"I asked you to bring news to the governor because I hope you would find a way to save me, not to avenge me! I can take care of my wife and children by myself, and I don't need your help."

Fu Zida understood that he had misunderstood, and he burst into laughter instantly: "That's good, that's good..."

Gu Yunji calmed down, stood up and said: "In short, you should be more careful. If something unexpected happens, you have grown so big, you should know how to adapt to changes, right? Protect yourself, don't wait for me to come back only to find you missing. I have to work hard to save you." Fu Zida nodded like a fool: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I know everything."

When Gu Yunji saw this, he didn't say anything more. He randomly found a wooden stick and took it in his hand, and walked carefully out of the forest.

As soon as Gu Yunji left, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Fu Zida was left alone, feeling that the time was long and extremely difficult.

I don't know how much time passed, but when Fu Zida was drowsy, he suddenly heard rustling noises from behind him.He was refreshed, thinking that Gu Yunji was back, and subconsciously wanted to run out, but then he remembered his instructions and quickly changed places to hide, carefully peeking at the place where the sound came from.

The trees were dense, and it was impossible to see what the person looked like, but the person was tall, there seemed to be three or four people, and he even had weapons - was he a Japanese pirate? !
The color on Fu Zida's face quickly faded, and his mind was filled with random thoughts: Why are they Japanese pirates?Where is Gu Yunji?Are others okay?Even if Gu Yunji is okay, now that the Japanese pirates are in front of him, won't he be able to escape?Then who will go back to bring news to Mei Feng?

Fu Zida was so panicked that he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

As Gu Yunji said, no matter what, he is still an official of the imperial court. Even if he falls into the hands of the Japanese pirates, they may not kill him. They may trade his head with the imperial court, so that he can survive...

Thinking of this, Fu Zida woke up suddenly, shook his head vigorously, and secretly cursed himself: Fu Zida, Fu Zida, you are a coward!It's a waste of time for you to be born with a body of seven feet. Now that the enemy is coming, you are only thinking about how to survive. You really have read all the books of the sages into the dog's belly!

Now that Gu Yunji's life and death are unknown, how can you only think about yourself?You have been in office for six years, you have lived on the imperial court's luxuries, and you have not made much contribution. Do you think the imperial court should spend a large sum of money to redeem you?Do you deserve it?

It's better to go all out, fight the Japanese pirates, and leave a body for them to prevent them from using you to blackmail the court!

Thinking of this, Fu Zida's eyes showed determination, and he clenched the wooden stick in his hand, preparing to wait for the Japanese pirates to come over, fight them desperately, kill every one of them, and then die in a dignified manner to preserve the honor and reputation of the scholar.

The footsteps behind him were approaching. Fu Zida was so nervous that his body was shaking, and his heart was jumping into his throat.

Three steps, two steps, one step... now!
"Ah ah ah ah, I will fight with you!"

Fu Zida closed his eyes tightly, jumped out suddenly, and swung the wooden stick around.

"What!" The person who came was startled, easily dodged his movement, and accurately hit Fu Zida's wrist with his iron palm.

"what!"

Fu Zida was in pain and the wooden stick fell from his hand. Before he could "sacrifice himself", the person brought by the other party twisted his arm behind his back and restrained him, instantly losing his ability to resist.

It's over, now I can't even keep my name.

Fu Zida was so heartbroken that he turned his head with all his strength, hoping to take a look at the face of the Japanese pirate before he died, so that he could turn into a ghost and settle accounts with him in the future.

However, the moment he saw the other party's face clearly, Fu Zida was stunned: "...General Qiu?"
