late night song

Chapter 182 The beginning of the secret war
Gu Yuchu took the jade token and rode on horseback to a small border town at the junction of Hehe, Xirong and Beiling. She stayed in an inn for two days, thinking about how to sneak into Qiongzhou. At this time, someone actually approached her and said she was from Xirong. The general was not used to Hehe's pure wine, so he wanted to transport a batch of fine Liexue to Qiongzhou.

The man said that his boss's wife was unwilling to go in person at the cost of her life, but she also wanted to take care of the powerful people of the new dynasty. He happened to see that Gu Yuchu looked a lot like her, so he gave him a bag of silver and asked if he could do it for him.

Gu Yuchu took the money bag. There was a white hibiscus flower embroidered on it, which made it clear the identity of this person. So, on the third day, they escorted five hundred altars of Liexueshao and set off for Qiongzhou.

Half a month later, after passing four cities along the way and passing numerous security checks, Gu Yuchu finally entered Qiongzhou City.

Fortunately, she had prepared a disguise in advance. The walls of Qiongzhou were covered with wanted portraits of Lejia Pengkang, Shu Yuan, and herself. It seemed that Qi Yijue had really made sufficient plans.

After entering Qiongzhou City, Gu Yuchu first followed the caravan to the Shangshi Bureau for handover and registration. Qi Jijue implemented the policy of stabilizing people's hearts and did not allow low prices or late payments when doing business with the people. The caravan was very happy to receive the reward immediately. After leaving Shangshi Bureau, we went straight to our own restaurant in Qiongzhou to celebrate the long days of traveling.

"Sir, they went to Fengguju's own restaurant and left the city on the third day. However, there were two missing people in the group, a cashier and the female shopkeeper. We secretly entered the store to search and only found the cashier. , but the woman was nowhere to be seen.”

There were spies in Yuquan Palace who immediately reported their whereabouts to Qi Jinjue.

"Go down the order and closely monitor Fengguju and the major city gates. From now on, the eight major gates of Qiongzhou City, except the east gate, are only allowed to enter but not to go out."

Qi Jinjue narrowed her eyes and played with the orchids on the table. After waiting for so long, she finally came.

He snorted. This woman was still as conceited as before. He worked hard to post her portrait and asked each level to secretly record every suspicious person who entered the city, just to catch her as soon as possible.

Although he didn't care that his family was in Qi Jian's hands, he still had to wave this banner in order to show his good reputation of benevolence, virtue and faith.So he needs this woman, no matter whether she is useful or not, and whether Qi frame will be controlled by her, but as long as there is a chance, he will not let it go.

The worst case scenario was to kill Gu Yuchu directly in front of Qi Jian. As long as it made him regret and feel sad, all his efforts would be in vain.

As for Gu Yuchu, with the support of the embroidery messenger in the city, she secretly moved from Fenggu Residence to an embroidery workshop, where she met her younger brother Shu Yuan and his master Shu Guanfeng.

"Sister, this is my mother's senior brother Shu Guanfeng." Shu Yuan introduced.

"Master Shu, thank you for saving Jingheng." Gu Yuchu knelt down and saluted to express his gratitude.

"No need to be polite." Shu Guanfeng helped Gu Yuchu up and looked at her carefully, his eyes full of surprise and confusion as if he had seen Yan Return.

"Yuchi Yuchu, although you and your mother don't look much alike, the charm and temperament between your eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same."

Gu Yuchu also smiled sadly. Without the portrait that Le Jia Huanyu gave her, how could she remember her mother's appearance, let alone the charm and temperament between her eyebrows and eyes.

"Why don't you two be so polite? Master, you will call me sister Xiaochu from now on, and sister, you will call me foster father from now on." Shu Yuan broke the awkwardness of their first meeting.

"That's not necessary. If Xiaochu doesn't mind, just call me Uncle Feng."

"Uncle Feng, what should we do with the current situation in Qiongzhou?" Gu Yuchu didn't hesitate and went straight to the point. "In the past, although the three countries in the east had their own disputes, they were still united in the face of Xirong. Now that the war in Dongqi is fierce, Xirong is deliberately trying to please, and it is expedient for Beiling to not send troops secretly, so the young master asked Shu Yuan and me to rush back He He, lurking secretly, took the opportunity to disrupt Xirong's rear defense."

"How to disrupt the situation? I heard that Xirong's policy of tolerance and forgiveness was very effective for the Hehe survivors. Now the rule of the new dynasty is very stable."

"But Xirong could not erase the heinous act of massacring five cities. In order to create the illusion that Hehe's court was incompetent, Xirong's Grand Sima Ouyang Qunfang, under the instigation of Lejia Pengkang, forced the leader of the Shacheng garrison to commit suicide and opened the door to surrender in person. Rumors, but as far as we know, the facts are just the opposite. If we can use them, it will not be difficult to inspire the patriotism and hatred of the old people," Shu Guanfeng analyzed.

"We have secretly contacted many Hehe and righteous people, and they are working hard to contact the forces trying to overthrow the rule of the new dynasty." Shu Yuan added.

"I once served in the Hongchai Army, and I also know a few people in the city garrison army, who may be able to help." Gu Yuchu quickly said that he could also do his little bit for them.

"This is for you." Shu Yuan handed a booklet to his sister.

Gu Yuchu continued to look through it. All the records in it were the background and address of the Hongchai Female Army. She was overjoyed. It seemed that even if she didn't come back, Ling Buhuo had already made countermeasures. But after looking through it, she felt a frown on her face. His joy suddenly turned to worry.

"Most of the female soldiers live thousands of miles away. The city gates are now tightly guarded. I'm afraid it will take some time for me to get out of the city, but I don't know when I will return."

"We have our own methods for the female army outside Qiongzhou City. As for the female army inside the city, they are like frightened birds. You may need to go there in person." Shu Guanfeng looked at Gu Yuchu sincerely and said.

"Okay." Gu Yuchu agreed simply, "In addition, I would like to trouble Uncle Feng to pay attention to the whereabouts of Ding Yi and Le Jia Pengkang. I still have an account to settle with them."

"Sister, I will settle this account with them clearly together with you, but please remember not to be impulsive." Shu Yuan was afraid that she would do something reckless because of Lan Ye's death, so he quickly stepped forward to dissuade her.

Gu Yuchu nodded, reluctantly agreeing, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.

"Xirong only sent his own men for this expedition. As for Ding Yi, he is still responsible for the guard of Qiongzhou. Although he has a peaceful relationship with Qi Yijue in the imperial city, he is not allowed to be reused. I am afraid that there is still a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart. His mansion is getting worse every day. With our people guarding him, when the time comes, he will be the first to be dealt with."

Shu Guanfeng stroked his beard, but his eyes were sharp. He hated such treacherous people the most in his life. He continued: "As for Lejia Pengkang, although he hid in the Qiyun Mountains, he has hundreds of people in his hands." No flowers can be found in Chilian Pagoda for the time being."

"Could he have entered Sanxing Academy?" Gu Yuchu asked with a frown. After all, the current head of the academy had also made an exception and judged Lejia Pengkang as a generalist. Presumably he had a close personal relationship with the Lejia royal family, otherwise he would not have So blessed.

"No, if there is any disturbance in the academy, the young master will know it immediately. Xiaochu, there is no need to worry."

"There is also Dongqi Han King Qi Yiyu. They are cousins. Will they secretly join forces to harm Dongqi?"

Gu Yuchu was still worried, and subconsciously considered the possible variables in the battle of Dongqi, but she cared so much about Dongqi that Shu Yuan on the side mistakenly thought that she still couldn't let go of Qi frame, and his face suddenly fell.

She looked up and saw her brother's expression, and then she realized her worries and gaffes, so she stopped asking questions and found an excuse to take a break to avoid her precious brother's temper.
