late night song

Chapter 186
Two days later, Gu Yuchu arrived at Xuanxu Temple on time. What surprised her was that Fan Yuan appeared at the same time with more than twenty sisters.It turns out that after the Red Hairpin Army was disbanded, those living in Qiongzhou City had long secretly gathered together, waiting for the opportunity to avenge their country.

They did not avoid Gu Yuchu, but their families were worried about their status as Hongchai female soldiers, so they either moved or were anxious to marry them off because they did not want them to take risks. In addition, Gu Yuchu's wanted documents were posted all over the city. , making them conflicted and hesitant. They really couldn't make up their mind whether to see her or not.

Fortunately, with Fan Yuan taking the lead, they had a backbone. Later, they found out that Gu Yuchu had the same plan as them, so they agreed to meet here.

Although the war has not affected Hehe mainland yet, the people are still anxious. Therefore, many people pray for peace every day in Xuanxu Temple.

They are all women and come from all over the city at different times, so they will not arouse suspicion.

In addition, although the master of Xuanxu Temple is a monk, he is also a loyal person. Therefore, whenever the Hongchai Female Army gathers here, they will always deliberately leave an empty room and instruct the Taoist Taoist in the temple to provide cover for them.

"Master Gu." Everyone saluted.

"It doesn't have to be like this, just call me by my name." Gu Yuchu thanked them for their trust and praised their bravery.

"Since we have to reorganize the Red Hairpin Army, you are the only one with the highest martial arts among us, so you will naturally continue to lead it." Everyone said.

"I won't be back for a long time. Fan Yuan is brave and resourceful, so I should obey her orders." Gu Yuchu refused. She only wanted to expel Xirong, not to help them restore the country. She really felt guilty about being the leader.

"Sir Gu, you are welcome. We are filled with grief and indignation over the overthrow of our country. As long as we can lead us to kill all the enemy invaders, it doesn't matter who is the leader." Fan Yuan declined, not caring about these false claims.

"Master Gu, please don't refuse anymore." Everyone spoke sincerely, and Gu Yuchu had no choice but to agree.

"Master Gu, what are your next plans?" Fan Yuan asked.

"I'm trying to think of a way to gather the female troops outside the city. Yesterday's banquet at your house gave me a better idea." Gu Yuchu no longer hesitated. Fan Yuan was surprised. The maid she served that day felt unfamiliar to her. It's very strange, but it's hard to ask questions when the guests are present. Now that I think about it, it's most likely this woman. She's really brave.

"What's the idea?" Everyone was surprised.

"Xirong's army in Hehe's territory is only less than [-], but Hehe's own army has more than [-]. If we want to compete with it, we have a good chance of winning. Let's assassinate Ding Yi first, and then replace him with Commander Fan. When the time comes, Hehe's army will raise troops. All the people will naturally follow. With the Dongqi battlefield in front to contain them, we can counterattack from behind and it will not be difficult to expel the Xirong."

"My father?" Fan Yuan opened her eyes wide.

"Commander Fan is the general who controls the most troops and horses besides Ding Yi. He has a deep foundation in the army. Even if he resigns and returns home, his prestige is still there. When Ding Yi dies, Xirong will definitely recruit a native of his country." Veterans must take action, otherwise the morale of the military will be unstable and it will be detrimental to the overall situation. At this time, Commander Fan is the best choice."

Gu Yuchu was also fully prepared, but seeing that Fan Yuan was a little overwhelmed, he added: "Of course this matter is too dangerous, and I have to ask your opinion if I can persuade the court."

"If it is for the sake of national justice, my father will not refuse." Fan Yuan thought for a while and said seriously.

The red hairpin female soldiers remained silent. In the face of the hatred of the country and the family, personal life and death had long been ignored, but how much courage was needed to take the lives and safety of their families into consideration.

"Not just Ding Yi, but also all the officials who have joined Xirong!" Someone broke the silence angrily.

"That's right!" Everyone finally came to their senses and agreed.

"That's natural, but Ding Yiyi will bear the brunt." Fan Yuan affirmed this proposal, but he still had doubts in his heart, "But how to assassinate?"

"Ding Yi's martial arts skills are unfathomable. If it's a head-on fight, I'm not sure, so I have to outsmart him." Gu Yuchu didn't have full confidence, so he responded honestly.

"I heard that Ding Yi has no wife or children, doesn't like to socialize, and is not close to women. How can he outwit him?" someone interrupted.

"He has been assassinated several times before, so he must be well prepared. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to rush directly into his mansion to assassinate him at night."

"People always have shortcomings. You can't act too hastily. You should observe them for a while before making any decisions."

"How long do you have to wait and wait?"

Everyone expressed their opinions, but no one came up with a good solution.

Gu Yuchu and Fan Yuan looked at each other, and then she raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"The assassination plan must be foolproof, otherwise everyone will be in danger. In this way, I suggest that everyone divide into three teams and follow Ding Yi closely for five days, write down his whereabouts and habits one by one, and see if we can find any opportunities." At present, it seems that this is the only way!" Everyone knew in their hearts that this was the best way, but they were still unwilling to give up and wanted to punish the old thief Ding Yi right away.

"Mr. Gu, I, and Chun Hong each led a team, and we were divided according to the distance of our homes." Fan Yuan added, and then the girls quickly divided into groups, and they did not miss out on bringing water. Although they were sent home for a long time, the red hairpin girl They have never forgotten the decisive and resolute military discipline.

"Everyone will gather here at the same time after six days. Remember not to follow too closely, don't come in and out, and be sure to protect yourself."

Gu Yuchu reminded him again and again, everyone nodded in agreement and then dispersed.

In the next five days, these twenty-odd women followed Ding Yi's every move closely according to the previous team.

They may be pretending to be women shopping for groceries, pedestrians passing by, girls from red mansions soliciting customers, or customers in restaurants, and all disguises are used to the extreme.

At the same time, Gu Yuchu informed Shu Guanfeng that the Red Hairpin Girl Army in the city had been assembled, and the embroidered messenger began to send messages to the outside world, secretly summoning other Red Hairpin Girl Army into the city.

Gu Yuchu was still puzzled. Even if there were ring guides like Xunying, the city was so tightly patrolled that only the east gate of the city could be exited after being confirmed by the third floor. There were not even many pigeons left that could fly out of the city smoothly, let alone It was a human being. Under such circumstances, how could the embroidered messenger convey the message to the outside world without being noticed? This made her very curious.

Facts have proved that her thinking was too simple.

In addition to the most primitive flying pigeon message, a major event also happened in the city recently.

The largest restaurant in Qiongzhou City newly opened a bottle of wine that had been stored for hundreds of years. After a bidding war, it was purchased by a brothel woman for 1000 taels of silver. This caused an uproar in everyone, but what was even more unexpected later was that this brothel woman After getting the wine, I threw it to pieces on the spot.

Seeing how sorry everyone was, she decided to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake out of grief and anger!

Before she died, with tears in her eyes, she pointed at the onlookers and cursed: "The country has been destroyed for less than three months, and the merchants have no intention and no country!"
As soon as this incident happened, the city was full of storms.

Originally, if he were an ordinary guest, the literati would have to constantly criticize him and refuse to give up.

What's wonderful is that she is such an upright and promiscuous woman.The world was in trouble, and the hatred of the country and the family was ruined. Only this ant-like woman with no status could remember her. This made those literati who originally looked down on the color of the check column change their normal behavior and wrote poems praising her righteousness and concern for the country.

The iron armor cannot fade away the lush green hair on the temples, and the golden bottle recognizes all the drunken dreamers.

But the flowers in the backyard are easy to change, not to mention that the jade tower has been broken for many years.

In this way, within three days, things continued to ferment, and the story spread. Even the children on the street could read these two lines of poetry.

Hehe is still busy with traffic, and the vendors and shops are shouting and screaming, but the sound of Yongchang Changji's stack of copper coins can no longer cover up the grief of the national collapse in the hearts of the people of Hehe.

After five days of close surveillance, the Hongchai female army gathered in Xuanxu Temple to discuss the assassination plan again.

They discovered that Ding Yi patrolled on time every day, but on two days after he got off work, he would go to a teahouse called Qiongcang to drink tea and listen to books, and he would stay there for several hours.

After many investigations, it was found that the teahouse was just a disguise, and was actually a secret place. The entry threshold was one tael of gold, and the cards were all played with gold as the bargaining chip.

Ding Yi was not a womanizer, so he got tens of thousands of gold from Qi Yijue and had nothing to do with it, so he became obsessed with gambling. In addition, he was very lucky, and he would win [-]% of the time, earning gold and silver. Manbo, which stimulated his enthusiasm and motivation.

However, ordinary casinos are too ostentatious due to their special status, and the winning or losing is not more than a hundred taels. After a long time, he naturally cannot arouse much interest.

Later, he learned about this good place and visited it often.Whenever Ding Yi makes a move, he always waits until the moon is dark and the wind is high before he gives up. He comes out just in time to inspect the guards of the city.

In addition, he also has a habit of always going to Mrs. Mo's house in the south of Chengnan to eat a bowl of rice noodles with sour soup and bamboo shoots before entering the casino. He attributes all his luck in gambling to this, so he often visits.

Gu Yuchu asked for a bottle of Mian Gu Zui from Ling Buhuo. She had experienced the disadvantages of taking this medicine. It is colorless and tasteless, and it absorbs internal energy. It is only useful for people with internal strength. Ordinary people will not be harmed even if they eat it by mistake.

So, they decided to start with the rice noodle soup, first drugging the old lady's rice noodle soup pot, and when he returned home late at night, Master Gu would take action to kill him.

In fact, Gu Yuchu knew the above information clearly from the embroidered messenger. The reason why she asked the girls of the Red Hairpin Army to inquire together was just to strengthen their belief before the upcoming war. , enriching their experience, making this assassination that only she can complete become the work of a group of people.
